Airtel — Ridiculous customer care service!

I had a outstanding bill of 1783 from jan08, and i dint make payment as i had issues with the call charges applied in the bill and also i had spoken with airtel customer care regarding changing my mob no. to prepaid no., i dint get any proper responce from customer care which forced me to stop making payment.
I received a call from airtel(mr alok) and he after listening to my complaint, setteled the billing amount to 1000 and asked me to pay the same day, so that airtel can issue a noc and get my No. changed to prepaid, i made the payment on same day and updated mr alok and also updated him the receipt no:[protected], he assured me that in a day or two i will get a noc and then i can aproach any airtel outlet and get my no converted, but i dint receive any update till yet
i have also tried aproaching customer care, but they say we dont have any update and i wil;l have to make the balance payment to get my no activated and changed.
please HELP
I am having hell lot of problems with customer care and also with airtel providers as such... They are a pain in the neck... I did not opt for any hello tune service, but i had two times deducted with the amount. And also the sms fecility is bad... Even for a local sms.. They charge rupees two.. This has happned number of times... When i try to contact the customer care guys... They listen to everything and later disconnect the call.. And when i exceed three times to reach and talk to them... All i get to know is ".. To know ur balance, press *123*8#".. What a ridiculout service it is. I want my money to be credited in my accouint and also know why u people do such things... Also tell me about the sms thing... If i am not getting my answer, i have to take action against you guys, i have to complaint to the customer complaint cell... I am very serious on this matter. Talk to me and resolve this matter asap.

    Address: Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh

    I raised a disconnection request on on[protected] and confirmation of the same
    has been received on[protected]. And it is informed that within 7 days it will be disconnected. I wrote the second mail(reminder) for disconnection on[protected]. I wrote the third mail(reminder) for disconnection on[protected], and everytime they are sending "We regret the inconvenience caused to you" mail. I called up customer care multiple times; but no effect. Airtel is cheating its customer, because I have to pay the rental, till it finally got disconnected.

    Below is the mail thread:

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    It is nearing a month after the disconnection request, I called up multiple times the customer care and this is the 4th reminder mail I am sending to you.

    Everytime you are writing "regret for the inconvenience" mail but not taking any action. I doubt the service of airtel.

    Dear Sir/Madam,


    I have requested for cancellation on[protected] and confirmation of the same
    has been
    received on[protected]. I wrote the second mail for disconnection on
    [protected]. But the disconnection has not been done yet and both
    incomming and outgoing calls are active, as well as the BB connection. As you
    said that your team is working on the same;

    I am curious and afraid that your team is so unproductive that they are taking
    14 days for a 1 day work?

    Please take the request on urgent basis and stop the service with immediate
    effect.

      Hopeless customer services and response to customer.
      I am an airtel Digital TV user and my customer id is [protected].
      there was problem in signal to setup box. I have registered the complain to customer care. then they told me that their representative will come tomorrow. tomorrow when nobody came i again called then they told me again for tomorrow. After 2 days, one of them had come and he said he cant rectify the problem. i asked for the senior fellow if he could do that. then he gave me the number which was going switch off. Such an fellow he was that he doesnt know how to go to the signal settings in TV.
      Horrible experience.
      Dont buy this.

        Hi Team,

        Please note that my Mobile Postpaid amount of Rs.1189.26 is totally
        unacceptable for the Month July-Aug. My Mob no is [protected].

        I have taken 299 postpaid plan in which I was told that I will be given
        750 minutes (local+national) + 100 sms/day.

        But in the current bill deductions in total call charges is only Rs
        373.7 and also I have been charged SMS service too.

        I dont know who will be able to help me out as I am unable to pay such
        huge amount for Mobile bill. I think Airtel has started putting
        unwanted charges in mobile services which could lead to losing trust
        of Public.

        Hope you understand this issue and revert asap with an adjusted bill.

          Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

          I have been an Airtel Customer for 10 Years. For the past 2 years or so, my bills have been consistently in the 1000/- or less bracket. All of a sudden for the past two months, Airtel has given me a bill of 10,000/-. The Call and SMS charges are only about 2000/- but the GPRS charges are 8000/- for two months! I complained to them and they said the data download charges implied are correct and have to be paid. I said they were too high and you guys are looting customers in the name of mobile GPRS, I complained multiple times and asked them provide a waiver and cancel my GPRS, I have atleast 50 Airtel connections between me and my family and for a customer of 10 years who has always paid the bills on time, they are completely unwilling to reduce the charges. They are manipulating the customer by waiting for such opportunities to over charge the customer, like predators. They never educate the customer about the increasing bill and the data download charges or usage statistics. They wait for the customer to be unaware and look for an opportunity and pounce on him. Having the largest market share and customer base makes them the king and the customer is utterly disregarded. In the name of data download they are blackmailing me into paying a very high sum and I will take this matter up with the court of law if I have to. The phone number is important to me and they know I cannot forfeit it and so they are trying to extract money from me. Please help!

          hi i m sweety
          My name is chethan i have taken the airtel connection my number is [protected] it is an national package and it does not contain clip charge but from past one year i am paying the clip charge i spoke to customer care people but they are telling they will solve this problem but no one is calling me from past two monts daily i am waiting for there call but no body replied now a days it is giving very worst service i really hate to continue with this servise
          i want the whole call details of an airtel prepaid number [protected] and also messages history for past 3 months.
          I had taken an postpaid connection after few month I cleared all my dews, and they said that u will get your deposit refund within 45 days now it more than 2 month yet i didn't received any refund from them when I talk to there executive they are not willing to refund the amount, they are saying that the amount u had paid is for activation and this all was not inform to me while taking the connection. I was informed that the amount which i am paying is security deposit when ever u disconnect your connection it will be refund to u. I can only say about them that AIRTEL is just cheating to customer and there executive are good for nothing just embarrassing customer. Why the hell they had open customer care i didn't get it. when ever we go at customer care to resolve any thing nothing is going to happen over there.

          So all my friend beware of such an fraud company
          There should be some legal action taken for such Company (AIRTEL)

            Dear Sir,
            I am having an Airtel Prepaid mobile connection my Phone No. is [protected]. It is being observed that last 11 months onwards money has been deducted from the balance apart from call charges which is not acceptable. I have not activated any value added services.Sometimes the balance reaches to minus.I want from you to get me back my hard earned money which you have deducted other than call charges

            Airtel / prepaid Life Time connection — Deduction of money

            My mobile number is [protected] (Bangalore). I used to Receive message from No.64611010 and the message is ..Thanks for using (archie_comics_wap, ComicStrip) subscription service on Airtel WAP. You've been charged Rs.10...

            The above message I am receiving some time in alternative days, some time once in a week etc and every time Rs.10/- being charged towards this. Whereas, I never subscribed for it and I approached the airtel dealers, send some messages for deactivation, but till today no action has been taken to unsubscribe the same. Even I have send messages from my mobile *646*602# and call button, but message coming that we are unable to process your request.

            I therefore request that necessary action may be taken to deactivate the message from 64611010 and refund the amount already deducted till now.

            Thanking you

            Yours faithfully

            Bharti Airtel — Charged Currency

            I have been Charged Re.1 for using Full Track Subscription Service from Airtel..
            However i have not used any service of the sort..
            I would like to know why i'm getting charged..because later i will get charged for renewing it for sure.
            The matter is not resolved. I am totally disappionted about your service and till date I have not received my money/Talktime back.
            The matter is not resolved. I am totally disappionted about your service and you have returned only Rs, 30 and after talking 02 minutes in India you Airtel have charged Rs, 20/ Which is totally unacceptable.I am suppose to get Rs, 76 talktime.Whereas you have paid only rs, 30/ as talktime.
            Till date I have not received my money or talktime Bharti Airtel have cheated me Rs, 326/.I know that it is intensionally they have done.
            I would like to inform Bharti Airtel that Till date I have not received my money/talktime back.And my belief is that Bharti Airtel was cheating their customer intensionally.
            How you have resolved this issue. I have to get from you Rs, 76 Talktime/money back.You have not resolved any thing.

              Hi,

              My name is vishal satpute and my no. is [protected]. This is the Airtel Friends-I connection and has been using from last five years. The problem is I am not getting my plan beefiness.
              I have using this plan from last five years by recharging Rs 110 every year for plan continuation. This time my plans validity was ended 13th August 2011, before that I got a message from Airtel saying please recharge 110/- for your plan continuation as your validity is above to end. I confirmed from 121 customer care and did recharge of 110/- on 12th Aug 2011 for plan continuation.
              I got a message as the recharge gets successfully, but I was not getting the plan benefit that I was using. I called several time to customer care and raised complaints[protected] against plan benefits. Many time I asked to want to talk to serious but they hang on the call for sometime and disconnect the line, here I am wasting my money as they charge 50 paisa.
              Today 16 Aug morning I got a call from the customer care regarding the same issue. I explained everything and ask for need to talk to senior. They connected me with senior name samir. He told me my plan validity is up to 10 Aug and as you recharged before the date so you will not getting this plan benefit. This is to totally not except able and this is excuse from Airtel.
              Please do the needful.
              Regards,
              Vishal saatpute.

                It's been more than a month since I paid for my Airtel Broadband and I am yet to get a connection or at least get someone to resolve the issue.

                The summary of events:
                15/July/2011 - Applied for broadband connection through Anand Kumar, Airtel outlet at BG-28, Aditya Mega City Mall, Indirapuram. I was told it will take 1-2 weeks, but normally should be done in a week, and Airtel will give me 10% discount on bill as a good-will gesture for late connection.
                18/July/2011 or 19/July/2011 - A person from Airtel came to my premises for internal wiring
                Some where close to 5/August/2011 - Visited Airtel outlet to know the update. I was convinced that it will be done within a week
                10/Aug/2011 - Received SMS, "Your airtel broadband and fixed line bill for the month of Aug'11 will be generated on 11-Aug-2011 and the due date will be 30-Aug-2011."
                10/Aug/2011 - Dropped email to AirtelPresence, Airtel Outlet and Mr. Rajesh Agarwal from Airtel outlet
                16/Aug/2011 - Still no update from Airtel

                This is gross insult of customer rights by not providing a promised connection even after payment and sending the sms for bill generation. I was a customer of Airtel broadband since April/May, 2007 to March, 2010 and then was out of India for an year. After coming back, I am really shocked to find Airtel's service in such a pathetic state.

                I work in management role for an IT firm and hence internet connection is really crucial and critical for me. This professional situation coupled with personal dependency where my family members want to see my infant son on video chat, makes internet a 'must have' item for me. This delay has already caused a lot of loss for me and I don't intend to continue it further.

                It's my request to immediately get my broadband connection active with two month's bill waiver as a gesture for delay in connection. Else please refund my money along with the gesture compensation for the delay. The amount will come to INR 1800 (500 deposit + two month's broadband rental, 650).

                If again this time, I do not get any response from Airtel, I will be forced to move my application to consumer court to get the real justice that I deserve.

                Dear All,

                I have applied for broadband connection on 16/July/2011, however it's been almost a month & I am still waiting for the broadband. On 18 or 19 July, a person came to my residence for the wiring purpose, and since that day there is no update.

                The connection was applied through Anand Kumar, Airtel outlet at BG-28, Aditya Mega City Mall, Indirapuram. I was told that there is an up-gradation going on, so it will take 1-2 weeks, but normally should be done in a week. Also I was told that I will given 10% discount on my bill for this delay in installation.

                To my surprise, I received an SMS today, "Your airtel broadband and fixed line bill for the month of Aug'11 will be generated on 11-Aug-2011 and the due date will be 30-Aug-2011."

                This is like adding salt to injury. I request you to please enable my broadband connection by this friday (12/Aug/2011), else please refund my INR 500 that I paid. If the broadband connection will not be in a workable state for me by the said date, then the contract stands cancel on the basis of the deficiency of services.

                This kind of poor service and attempt to charge the customer for the services that were not provided is against the customer rights. I once again insist to either get my broadband working by 12/Aug/2011or refund my money.

                Request you to please stop bull sh****ng around the issue, either resolve it or just say 'No', but don't try to drag it longer and making it more painful for me.

                1) My number still remains the same as mentioned. It is also the same number as registered in the Airtel's database. Also I did not received any sms from Airtel on 20/Aug/2011. It's sad when you reply is such a way, because mobile service being used by me are of Airtel itself. Also, there is a miss call alert on my phone which updates me on any call, when I miss because of n/w issue. My biggest question here is that, you can send a SMS regarding the payment on my cell phone but for any concern, it is not available for you????

                2) For a request that was logged on 16/Aug, you guys wanted to contact me on 20/Aug, and then dropping a comment on Saturday.Your comment here is just a way of buying some time, else you know I am not reachable on internet on weekends because of no internet at my home. Despite having all the necessary means to contact me, this event definitely points out to something else.

                3) Finally, I request you to please check you e-mails, I have been following up on this thread constantly on e-mails keeping Airtel Presence in loop ([protected]@airtel.in). Till date I have not received any reply from you guys over there, and then I had to use this platform.

                Request you to please refer to this thread to get my contact details, or check your database and even if that is not sufficient, check you e-mails, because I sent the last mail on 19/Aug/2011 itself.

                Still if all that does not work out for you, my number is "nine eight one zero eight one seven five eight one".

                All this treatment just amounts to harassment, and I am 100% sure that I will approach the consumer court for all the loss that I have suffered because of Airtel.

                  This is very astonishing that instead of making several calls to customer care the set top box which is non functional and has to be replaced is not done.

                  I made a call on13th May 2011 stating my set top box is not working. The person came and replaced it with the adaptor. Again the same problem started after a month in end of June. Several calls were made but no one came. The set top box used to work sometimes and again it would become dead. This problem continued I had to call again on 31st July, 1st Aug but to my surprise as promised will send someone to solve the issue nobody turned up. I was very upset and again called up on 13th Aug and asked the call person to give my line to executive. I spoke to Mr. Gori and explained him my problem but he also did not solve my problem Instead told me that my warranty has expired on 8th Aug and I am supposed to pay Rs 750 and get new connection. the se Mr Prem was sent on 14th Aug and he asked us to pay Rs 750 and get new installation done.

                  The delay has been from your side and the customer has to suffer mentally. Not only that the calls which we have made who will bear the cost? Why should we pay for the new installation? it is dalay from your side. Why not the set top box was replaced within warranty period?

                  Mr Rakesh the issue is not yet resolved and today again I lodged a complaint on customer care and briefed to Mr Jitendra. He also was very adamant and said that the STB will not be replaced unless I pay Rs 750 + Rs 100 fro the engineer visit. I think your all the executives are totally mad and dump. They donot understand the matter. Infact in the afternoon I recieved a Sms stating my matter is resolved. What rubbish you send. It is very pthatic

                  I again repeat When we had filed the compalint on 1st Aug, 2nd Aug the STB was in the warranty period and why did the engineer not come to check? Why the customer care has not lodged? If so then it is not our fault the denial and delay is from AIRTEL SIDE. So again we filed complaint on 13th Aug in where the smart fellow Mr Prem came and very coolly says to replace the STB For Rs 750.

                  I think this the mischief you people are playing . They are aware that the warranty has expired and this is the right time to loot the customer. Any way it is your moral Duty to satisfy the customer where we are not at any fault. The rest we leave it to you . We are not free that every time we make a call or a request and
                  in turn we get to hear the same tape. Instead I would go for another DTH connection and be at peace.It is banging our heads with stupids

                    My complaint is against the letters being issued regarding outstanding dues on our mobile No [protected] issued in the name of Mrs Anju Sawhney, H No 210, Model Gram, Ludhiana.(Account No [protected]). The last letter received in this regard was dated 04.08.2011 for a demand of a net outstanding of Rs 775.29.
                    In this regard I would like to bring the following facts to your notice:-
                    i) The above mobile phone was disconnected in March 2011. This has been documented and the reference No is 36337267.
                    ii) It may please be recorded that every time we received a call from your field staff or one of your officers, (and believe me the follow up is from N number of people , (none of whom is aware that the issue has already been discussed again and again )they were told very clearly that the mobnile has been disconnected in the month of March 2011 and that they should check up the record and send us a bill upto March 2011, which will be duly paid. However, either because the field staff approaching for payment are non professionals or whatever the reason is, the issue is still open, and we are continuously getting notices from your end.
                    iii) The issue was also discussed with your Mr Jatin and then Sh Prince and lastly with Sh Gagagndeep Bedi and the entire issue was clarified to them.
                    Sh Bedi confirmed that all the information as provided by us was correct. He further conformed that even though the mobile No. was disconnected in March and is duly documented, even then charges are being levied.
                    Sh Bedi was also requested to ensure that we be sent a full and final bill upto March 2011 which will be paid by us instantly, to which he readily agreed.
                    iv) However , we are pained to point out that inspite of all these efforts from our end, we have again received a notice from your office wherein the following is mentioned," If payment of Rs 775.29 is not received immediately we will pass on the matter to our solicitors with instructions to commence legal proceedings".
                    This we feel is the height o[censored]n professionalism especially in a company with the name and fame of AIRTEL.
                    It is requested to please pass necessary instructions for an immediate stop to such un professional approach and confirm the balance due to us upto March 2011, ie upto the date the mobile No.was disconnected.
                    This payment shall be made immediately by us.

                        Secondly your service of RECHARGING DIGITAL TV ACCOUNT BY REGISTERED MOBILE NUMBER also is not responding adequately. WHY SO?

                        AIRTEL RECHARGING CENTRE IS ONLY ONE HERE AND VERY DIFFICULT FOR A CUSTOMER TO APPROACH THEM.

                            Dear Sir/Madam,

                            I am Dhruv Goel, living at B-95,Sector 27,Noida, UP, have applied for Airtel IPTV (with unlimited broadband 4mbps 10gb) on 19th July,2011, and paid 1750 INR. as installation fees.
                            Form No. - 2785890
                            Dealer Name - Amrish Chouhan
                            Dealer Phone No. - [protected]

                            After this, its been almost one month and no one came to install the connection, we tried calling on various different airtel customer care numbers and the dealer number multiple times everyday, but always the response was very cold.They say things like..
                            1. Our main server is down.
                            2. We will install it definitely by today or tomorrow.
                            3. We will resolve your problem, etc.
                            I have taken 3 holidays from my job on the days that they promise they will arrive to install the connection, and on all 3 days no one came. Calling an airtel customer care number leads to the same routine every time , they don't even connect us to their seniors.
                            But despite all our efforts nothing seems to be happening.
                            So, I came to know, about consumer forum, please submit my request as complaint against Airtel , and provide me the solution.

                            AirTel — IPtv Installation delay

                            I , Himanshu Virmani , applied for IP TV connection on telephone no. [protected], on 20th August, 2010 and they commited that i'll get the connection within 02 working days. I didn't get my connection till now. When i asked the person who has came to my house, he told me everyday that today connection is given. Now, I am waiting for connection for past one week. And Each time i call to people, they told me that i'll get the same within 1-2 days which never happens. My brother is taking leave from his college because of waiting but no-one is coming for connection. Who will compensate me brother's studies????
                            Respected Rakesh Ranga,
                            Thank you for "looking into the matter" and "working on a resolution", but nothing seems to be happening still. No one has got in touch with me. Between, I have news for you:
                            Yesterday, i.e. on 18th August, 2011, when I called the dealer (which has become my daily routine by the way), he came up with this reply :
                            " I am not going to install your connection, you cannot do anything because you have no proof you bought it from me(even though we have it). You can go to the police or to the court! Here's all my information:
                            Name: Amrish Chouhan
                            Employee ID : 58040
                            Office Address: B-38/c1, Sector 57, Noida
                            Phone No. [protected]
                            Let's see what you can do"

                            Then he talked rudely for some more time and disconnected the phone. Why is Airtel harassing its customers?? Exactly similar case happened with my friend who then was forced to forget about the money and get a BSNL Connection(which was installed in one day).

                            I am utterly shocked by the rude behaviour of Airtel employees. Please have the decency to resolve this as quickly as possible.

                            Some More Time!!! It's been 32 days already. How much more time does Airtel require to install an IPTV connection? Because I was under the false impression that it usually gets installed within 1 or 2 days. And could you please send me your mobile number or your personal email-id (if you are infact some person and not a computer generated message)

                            AirTel — ipTV Installation

                            Hi, I registered for ipTV from Airtel on 6th Aug' 2011. Gave the check for Rs.999/- to the Airtel representative and was told that it will be installed in 3-5 working days but I haven't yet recieved any call or instrument. This is extremely frustrating that even after me calling 198 a couple of times - nothing has moved and even my complaint has been marked as closed. I am not sure what kind of service Airtel will provide me after the installation as well.
                            Can you help get this resolved?

                            Thanks,
                            Amit.

                            These forums are completely useless! Airtel is a fraud company!

                              Hi,

                              It is really surprising to see below charges on my mobile [protected] against services which I never requested for.

                              why this has to happen. is this something like provoking the customer to change the service provider? kindly look into this and reverse these charges ALONG WITH the services on this amount of Rs. 163.00

                                  I received SMS from TA-BPQ, saying that i have voicemail from some international number, then i immediately called from STD booth, as i dont have STD-ISD fecility, and i lost Rs.94.
                                  Airtel is [censored]ing the customers.
                                  I will go to TRAI for this. And everyone should know the door of TRAI.
                                  I too got the similar type of spam sms. The number is [protected]. I trust in airtel connection more than other communications. So pls do take immediate action against this kind of fraud sms.
                                  I too got an sms from TA-BPQ(no number displayed). In the message it said "You have 1 new bpq voice mail, call [protected]." I became skeptical on this and thankfully averted any monetary losses by googling it. Although I have an Idea connection. Please make people aware of this by blogging it.
                                  I got msg from the no [protected] saying u have got 1TA-BPQ voice mail and to call this no i lost money on call charge please take action and please inform about this...

                                  i also got the same message... but before calling at that i searched related queries on google... but i dnt know why people called to that number ... i think people dnt know this isd number, or they have enough money to call anywhere who ever call them and after that blame to networking companies i have seen many people for any fault they always blame other so i just want to tell all people atleast use ur mind before doing such stupid things
                                  I recieved the same message saying " You have a1 new bpq voicemail, call [protected]", I immediately googled it and found many persons recieved the same message, AIRTEL AUTHORITIES, if you read this then please take some actions or be sure to lose atleast 1 loyal customer i.e. Me, I don't know about others...
                                  Hi,
                                  I am a vodafone customer . I got this voicemail SMS today and i listened to it for 1 min and lost Rs.9
                                  I have also received the same SMS urging me to call the following number [protected], after calling it I also lost money. I would like there will be some action against it.
                                  People...If you get such a message..Please DO NOT call it back...
                                  It is just a fake message...
                                  You'll just lose your phone balance for an ISD call...

                                  i too got such a message from [protected] TA-BPQ.
                                  Add me to your list, I got the same 2 hours ago
                                  I also got same message...Rs 27 gets deducted from my account...
                                  Airtel should take strict action against it...they are fooling us...
                                  I got sms that says " You have 1 new bpq voicemail, call [protected] ". When I called that number I became bakra by losing around Rs 60 and the call was disconnected as my balance was over. The voicemail is about some fake prize of 2500 dollars which I came to know after searching in google. There is an old saying " Beware what you wish for, cause you might not know what you got into ".
                                  [protected]...same thin happ tp me too...
                                  I too got an sms from TA-BPQ(no number displayed). In the message it said "You have 1 new bpq voice mail, call [protected]." I became skeptical on this and thankfully averted any monetary losses by googling it. Although I have an Idea connection.

                                  If it is coming from name ' TA- BPQ' not from a number, does it means service provider is also involved in fraud. I dont know how one can send his name instead of number without service provider's consent.
                                  i too received this message. this is disgusting and some strict action should be taken

                                  Airtel or some other vendor "Just LOOTING/Cheating" customers
                                  why canot we ask government to implement out call charges with respect to "PULSE" rate
                                  instead fixed"

                                  Comman Raise your VOICE... Friends.
                                  Today I got a message from TA - BPQ and it directed me to call on [protected]. When i called on this number i am being told that you are a winner of 2500 US$ cash price and fill up the following details First name, Family name, Address, City, postcode & Claim number and sent it on [protected]. Once you are done you will not receive any confirmation but your request will be processed and the cash price will be sent to you in 60 days... After checking it on the internet there are number of people standing in queue before me and i am feeling completely fool.

                                  I therefore request consumer forum to take a strict action against these bogus calls or messages
                                  I too got the same text just now but I thought that why would somebody leave a voice mail when my phone is switched on all the time and with me. I searched on the Google immediately and could see all the complains. Thanks to all of you for saving my time and money. I strongly suggest that don't ever call on the numbers ( especially outside India ) because you don't know whom you are calling and you might get caught in some trap.

                                  Just think that why would somebody give money to anybody for free. Afterall "Nothing comes for free".
                                  Hi im an airtel customer, today i got msg from the number [protected] saying that u have got 1 BPQ voicemail and to call this number, when i call this number i lost money, Please take some action against these kinds of stupid things.

                                  there is no system in india to stop this scammers what a shame
                                  Last week, I got a sms from Airtel saying : " Thank you for subscribing to Matrimony on Mobile @Re. 10 for 10 days. To deactivate send STOP to 54321 "

                                  First of all when I have not subscribed at all then how can Airtel just send me any such stupid sms.
                                  Whenever I replied with STOP, everytime I got about 2-3 responses like :

                                  1. Your request to STOP services has been received. We shall get back to you in a few minutes with the options.

                                  2. The following services are active on your mobile : i. Matrimony Alerts Service - 5432105

                                  3. We have not received any input from you in the last 5 mins. To Stop a service reply to this message with STOP .

                                  I got a reply fm their Customer Support Executive, one Mr. Ajit Kumar K. He expressed regret about the inconveninence caused and also wrote "We would like to inform that the matrimony service has been deactivated with effect from 23/09/09."

                                  It was not some assurance, just some kind of standard reply they send, coz I got same mail from some other Customer Support Executive by the name : Sandhna Sekar B

                                  If the matrimony services had been deactivated, then why am I still receiving these alerts? That I am going to receive these for the next 10 days at the rate of Re. 10 for 10 days. I realized one thing that Airtel is just harrassing so many customers just like me.

                                  I don't understand the purpose of so many e-mails which are complaints against Airtel? But what the hell is happening? When will some action be taken against this fraud company

                                      Hi,
                                      I am Kishore Kumar Manchikalapati, I am using Airtel Prepaid mobile service since (2005) to till date. My mobile No.[protected]
                                      Following are the three unauthorized subscriptions that are added and Rs.15 amount is being deducted from my prepaid account on daily basis.
                                      1.You have been renewed for GamesManiaSubscriptionfor subscription service from Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @ 10p/10kb

                                      3.You have been renewed for SubscriptionVideosParlou subscription service from Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @ 10p/10kb

                                      Note: When I tried to check that whether I have any active subcriptions from http://gclub.in (Airtel Live URL) I found that I don't have any active subcriptions for my mobile.

                                      When I tried to reach customer care they provided me irrelevant and useless answers. Inspite of being a dedicated prepaid user since last 7 years, Because of this fraud made by the service provider I am losing faith in the product. Daily Rs.15 is being deducted from my account because of this fraud. Till now I lost hundreds of rupees since last 2 months.

                                      I want to make following things to be clear:

                                      1. I didn't opted for any subscriptions on Airtel live or any other paid services from Airtel.

                                      2. I use internet by recharging Rs.98 per month for 2GB usage on my mobile. Hence nothing should be deducted from my Prepaid account for internet usage.

                                      3. I never opted or used prevoiusly specified subcription services .

                                      I want this issue to be resolved ASAP . Please help me in this regard.

                                      Regards,
                                      Kishore Kumar .M

                                      Airtel Prepaid — Charges deducted for services I never opted for

                                      I have fed up of Airtel who have been deducting amount from my balance for services that I have never opted for.
                                      I want to share my experience about one such instance. I was charged a daily cost of Rs.1.5 for some ROMANCE service I never opted nor even heard about. I did not even know since when they started charging for that. They told it was activated since 9 days!!! Well atleast after 9 days I somehow noticed it, and immediately asked them to stop it. What would have happened if I had not noticed it at all??!! They would have emptied my account balance.
                                      This is a big worry for me, and I am afraid, I have to keep worrying abt it and keep checking my balance now and then even if I dont call or send messages.

                                      Gclub — not received security code for subscribed game, i.e., brain challenge vol 2

                                      we subcsribed for the game i.e., brain challange vol 2 in gclub game on 05/07/2011 & we have been charged Rs 50/-. but till now we have not received the security code for using the game.

                                      Airtel Prepaid — Rs5/- is deducted for gclub.in

                                      My mobile No:[protected]

                                      "track subscription service from airtel. you have been charged Rs5 latest games http://gclub.in browsing @10p/10kb" this is the message i am getting and every time Rs5/- is deducted. I am not interested in browsing the above or wasting my money.

                                      Without obtaining my permission how can airtel simply deduct money and there is no option for unsubsribe either. This is viewed very seriously, like me even others must be facing the same problem. This should be stopped immediately and for every such subscription the consumer must be given option.

                                      Please unsubsribe this AD-54321 or I will have to close airtel and switchover to someother service.
