Saving card info without an option to remove

Address: 560076
Website: www.airtel.in

If a card payment is being done on their site, they are saving cards by default.
They suggest there is a section to remove stored card information but nothing as such is available under that section.
This is a fraud/incomplete information sharing.
Kindly either update that section with a button named manage cards or just don't save the card information by default...

Please stop hindi imposition in error messages

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560000

Is Airtel being paid by India govt or Pakistani govt to impose the Pakistani Islamic origin language Hindi?

Why the Zero balance machine is coming as Koi Bee Out going call Karna Hai and not in Kannada or English.

Similarly even for not reachable message also, they blabber in the Pakistani language Hindi, but no English or Indian language.

PLEASE STOP HINDI IMPOSITION....

My acount / Airtel Portal access issue

I think I had been accommodating enough on this issue. I strongly feel that the issue is not at all understood even by the top level. If this is the level of comprehension at the top level I had to pardon the guys working at low level.

I don't know if as a service provider you guys will improve or not but definitely service providers like you will make me a genuine story writer.

Let me write the story so that...
