From last one & half year Bharti Airtel has started a practice of activating Value Added Packs thorugh their system on our moblie & also deduct charges for the same. On 18.08.2010, they have activated SONY PACK on one of our mobile number [protected] & deducted Rs.30/- for the same. They have also activated Cricket On Demad Pack on the same date. This Sony Pack was previously activated on 13.06.2010 on same number & deducted Rs.30/- on that time. We have complaint about the same at that time also. Then they deactivated the service. Same is happening again & again. I am also attaching the previous correspondence with Airtel below for your quick persual.

Subject: [protected] Complaint regarding value added services

Dear Sir Madam

I Rajesh Manohar Mandavkar am your service customer from last two half year but from last few days I am facing very bad experience from your service. I want to register a complaint about your illegal practice of activating value added service packs on our mobile without any intimation. On 14th Sept 2009 Job Alert Message Service was activated on my mobile. I immediately called your customercare No.121 asked them to stop the service. Though it was stoped immediately again in evening Cricket Score SMS Service was activated on my mobile without my request charges for 2 SMS were also deducted from my account. I have again register a complaint to your customercare no.121 on 11.00pm. My complaint number is 91493487. But till the time I write this message I never got my money back.

If such practices are continue from your end I will definetly take strick action against your service. I never want any of your value added services to be activaed on my mobile without my request. I have another 3 mobile connection in our family as follows which also face same problems;

Vijay Manohar Mandavkar [protected] [protected]
Shubhangi Sanjay Mandavkar [protected]

On [protected] you have activated Hello Tune Cricket Score SMS which I want to deactivate with immediate effect.

If the promble continues we will disconnect all lines take very strick action against your service.

Hope you will take this matter seriously.

Thanking you

Bharti Airtel — Activating Service Packs without any information

sir,

Bharti Airtel has activated services without my prior approval. they have activated services which are charged and cutt of my talktime balance. this has happened twice or thrice to me.

Moreover, the customer service is very very poor. They just make false promises for refund of money and never refund money which should be made because of their fault. Even the TLs and Supervisors of company behave like this.
