My name is Mandar Halbe and I am from Maharashtra. My mobile number is [protected]. The same thing has happened to me. I wrote to [protected]@in.airtel.com thrice and received the same reply every time.

I am very upset not only because of this incidence (I am still unable to use use GPRS or send sms) but also because they refuse to give me any proper solution and send me same reply every time.

Their website http://www.airtel.in/m-commerce/offers_and_promotions.html still shows full talktime for Rs. 333 (as of 6-May-2013, refer screen shot)

Either they should refund my money or transfer the balance to the main account..

Kindly refer the below attached email conversation with airtel.. [Note: the emails has been edited to give a presentation in ascending order of the dates and cut the disclaimers. No other changes have been made.]

Subject: Rs. 333 Top up : Ph. No. [protected]

Sir,

I have recently been abroad and by mistake activated for 'mobile data' for less
than one second and I was wiped of all the balance I had in my account.

As I had to make some urgent calls after I arrived back to India, I recharged
my account with Rs. 333 (as I have been doing since 2009).

To my surprise, you have arbitrarily changed the plan and given me 333 local
minutes and some 2G data and sms. So, I still could not make any calls even
after topping up my account with Rs. 333 as I was still in roaming in New
Delhi, neither could I use mobile internet. This has caused me a lot of mental
agony. I did not expect this, arbitrary changes without informing the customers
who have been using the plan for as long as four years, from Airtel.

I do not need 333 local minutes as my current rate plan gives me much more than
that and I independently recharge for 2G data.

I hereby request you to ASAP refund me my Rs. 333 or credit my main account
with Rs. 333 as it used to happen earlier.

Regards,
Capt. Mandar Halbe..

Sir,

My concern was not regarding the plan being changed without my consent, but
being changed without my knowledge after using it for several years.

Merely acknowledging my inconvenience does not help me at all and I am still
unable use my 2G data as my main account balance is still zero. You must
acknowledge that the inconvenience was caused by your arbitrary change and no
mistake of my own.

I do not require the benefits given by you under RC 333, as I have already
informed you that:
1. I get many more than 333 local minutes at my current call rate plan in Rs.
333
2. I do not need 666 MB data as I independently recharge my account with Rs. 98
and have sufficient balance in that account. (and unable to use either of that
because main account balance being zero rupees)
3. I do not need 999 sms as I rarely send text messages. (and again, I am
unable to send any text messages because main account balance being zero rupees)

So, after recharging my account with Rs. 333, I am still unable to use internet
in phone or send text, all thanks to Airtel!! So, once again, I kindly request
you to either refund my Rs. 333 or transfer the balance to my main account as
soon as possible and put an end to the inconvenience you have been causing for
last three days to your loyal customer of more than eight-nine years!!

Thank you,
Mandar Halbe..
