Airtel is sending SMS from AX-SYCRKT.

I am an Airtel prepaid customer having the number [protected]. Airtel is sending SMS from AX-SYCRKT.
I have not subscribed, but still every now and then cricket sms are sent to my mobile. And also Rs. 1 is being deducted. It is just irritating. I do not like cricket. Kindly unsubscribe the VAS for cricket and revert the amount.
Also cancel all the VAS, I wish to be in Don't Disturb Mode.

I lost my airtel sim for post paid mobile no. [protected] while in malaysia. I called up the airtel customer care center in 4th june 2012 and asked them to deactivate the number fearing misuse. Later when i returned back to India, i purchased a new SIM from airtel office in bannerghatta road near jayadeva circle on 12th june 2012. This sim card has not been activated yet. Each time i call up customer care, nodal zone care or walk into customer care center, they only ask for 6 hours - 24 hours time to activate it. But even after a week, nothing has happened so far. Request you to look into it.

Sir,

This is with ref to my mobile no [protected] (postpaid). I have activated GPRS for 98rs and Airtel executive told me that I can use 1GB internet access for the next one month. After variopus call from me Airtel Executive has confirmed me that my internet is active and no more extra charges will be billed for next one month, but I receive bill of Rs 6500/- stating usage of internet in my mobile. Now nobody in Airtel is helping me clarifying this issue rather they are treating me to pay the amount without any clarity. Airtel executive given wrong information about GPRS activation and billed me wrongly.

Please intervene in this regard.

Thanks,

Hello.I use the zong facility in my airtel phone to make online payments.
But yesterday while upgrading my membership in a website using zong, the process couldnt be completed.
Everytime i texted ZONG to the number specified, Rs.3 was deducted from my airtel account.But the actual payment didnt happen and i couldnt upgrade my membership in that website.Today when i try again it shows 'spending limit reached'.I dont have a credit/debit card to use.
So please tell me how to increase my zong spending limit in airtel account.

Please take action for this. Each time i have to call the customer care and loose 3-4 rs for deactivating this. Further more they wont deactivate in a single instance. They make me to call them repeatedly 2 to 3 times and after loosing my temper and shouting at them, they deduct the auto renewal and credit the balance into my account. This is cheating. For ex if the rate of a booster is 18 this includes service tax and processing fees. But they deduct 18 rs from our original balance. This inturn has a processing fees because if we topup for 50 it only gives 43 as talk value. So they are placing tax over tax until my money gets drained.

For others who have lost money in auto renewal just shout at the customer care exec..

1st time when called up from my number Mr. Uday picked up call heard everything and told me my manager will call to sort out this issue but didn’t get any response
2nd time one Mr. Prabhu attended call he activated my incoming and outgoing but in 10min deactivated

Inform me before disconnecting my network

on 25.05.2012 i got my SMS pack for Rs.55 activated on autorenewal. On 14.06.2012 my services were discontinued abruptly. Thinking that may be the SMS quota has finished I again reactivated the sms pack through *555#. Rs 55/- were deducted on 15.06.2012 from my balance, but neither calls nor sms were started. On enquiry through 121 i got to know that my services expeired on 13th June 2012. on 17th june i got my services after paying Rs. 42/- both sms and calls were again started. On 18th again my services have been discontinued. I m getting message that sms barred on this number. I want to know that 1. if the services/validity was expiered on 13th June how Airtel deducted Rs 55/ from my balance through *555#, while lot of amount was balance in my earlier sms pack. 2. why the sms services were not started even after charging Rs. 55/- on 15.06.2012. 3. even after getting the services/validity extended after paying Rs 42/- and Airtel having deducted tha sms Pack amount twice my sms has been barred on 18.06.2012. No services are available on date. Should we think that either airtel has started cheating the customers in this way or not capable enough to manage the business. You cusatomer care had been very very unproffesional, that lady simply cut the phone without listening to the problem. Should I go to the consumer court and the court ask u the full details of my complaint. please take corrective action or as a greived customer I will haver to decide 1. to terminate all my families connections of airtel and 2. to approach consumer court for this cheating of airtel . I hope u will expedite. My mexy mail shall be to ur CMD if not redressed.

I have Airtel DTH Connection since long time but I have faced very bad experiance from one of the Best DTH i.e Airtel. On 15th June 2012 , I have recharged my Airtel DTH account with 310 Rs. but Company has not given me Bonus 15 Rs.

As per discussion with them, My Account is suspended but I have seen that My All Channels are working fine.

AIrtel is doing advertisement for Bonus on early Recharge but they are not giving Bonus on early recharge.

User number [protected] ,this is the complaint about airtel unattended bad services of broadband .
I logged on my broadbond not working complaint on 10th april 2012 for which technician was sent on 11th april who stole an electronic gadget from my home, for which i logged on complaint of theft on 11th april 2012 ,and i kept calling for services for broadband and theft recovery till 18th april 2012 from a non toll free number nearly 37 times in 6 days for which i did not got any response ,more over i lastly called on 18th april to fix up internet in 24 hours or terminate my services , but after 2 months airtel people are calling for the bill till the date 18th June . I am mentally humiliated i had good experience and respect for airtel as i was its user from past 5-6 years . But now would recommend people not to use its services , would hope to see local consumer authority for the misguidance and theft caused by airtel on me.

I am having two airtel prepaid connections, [protected] & [protected] respectively. The call tariff on both of these numbers was 1.2 paise per second On 27th march, 2012 my plan changed to 60 paise per second itself on both the numbers. I talked to customer care number of times but never never got convinced. Most of the times the call was disconnect from their side. Three times I have applied for portability, in turn I always receive a call from airtel, convincing me that the plan of 1.2 paise will be activated within 72 hours. Even I received a confirmation message of the same. But till now problem persists.
On 16th June 2012 customer care people told me that by recharge of Rs. 5 my plan will change to 1.2 paise per second, I got the recharge done. After it the tariff changed to 2 paise per second to local mobile and 2.5 paise per second to STD mobile, which is again high.
I am highly unconvinced from the services of airtel.

I activated 2g data plan for Rs.98 on 23rd April and rep didn’t inform about pro rata basis billing if the plan is activated in between billing cycle. I had called 2 times to confirm if I still get 1 gb data usage after activating and every rep kept informing that its 1gb usage. Later getting bill I realized that Airtel has given free usage data on pro rata basis and charged me for balance data usage. This is mistake from your end .When activating service it’s Airtel’s responsibility to inform us about prorate discount and billing as well.Since no one informed me about it, I will not agree with charge. After interacting with at least 10 reps and 2 nodal officers I got waver of 500rs.But I am not ready to pay the rest 500rs which has been charged for data usage on pro rata basis(which is not my mistake).I am ready to pay other charges except data usage charge as it happened by Airtel’s phone reps negligence.
After few days got call from Airtel rep stating all he can do is wave off rs 500 which was already offered by Nodal.He later said he will get back to me and he replied stating same(max 500rs)no use.They want me to pay rs1000 for 200mb data usage(used 200 mb from 23rd to 26th April)its their reps mistake.Why should I pay.
Airtel has dropped its standards.Not to forget the prices are increasing day by day for the services.
