Airtel Customer Care's response Dear Mr. Swamy,
This is with reference to your post dated 21 July 2014.
To protect all our mobile subscribers from malicious activities which may result in substantial increase in their phone bill, airtel would like to advise the following:
» Do not respond to any unexpected calls from a number with the +92 or +375 country code.
» Do not respond to any suspicious missed calls from unknown numbers.
Do not get lured into any financial transactions or divulge any personal information like IMEI, Bank Account number and other information to callers offering prize money or lottery winnings. Also do not respond to any instructions to dial an international number to get the prize money.
» This luring may also be done through SMS messages offering prize money and seeking personal details on a specified email ID. Please do not respond to these.
» Do not respond to any SMS/Email from unknown sources prompting you to call on a number or go to a site offering free download of content/movie clips/pictures.

Today on 20th Oct, again I received a call from my mom that when she clicked a pic on whats app, 53 Rs got deducted immediately. Airtel is unecessarily deducting money from prepaid users to fool them as we can generate any records of this. Can they provide all details of prepaid number.
Today I tried to reach them from my post paid mobile by calling to their said prepaid helpline [protected] I called them around four time to get to the customer care line and spend about 40 mnts of talktime in order to convey my message then they transferred me to Pre paid service saying that this number ([protected]) is not prepaid service number, and at last when I conveyed my concern, the so called platinum service associate confirmed to me about above plan that no balance should be deducted, he asked me to wait online in order to check the records, however to my surprise again the lines got disconnected.
Is airtel doing this cheating because of it's monopoly and never bother to care about customers Or want me to take an action in consumers court.
Can any Airtel senior executive respond on this
Regards,
Amit
