Well 100's of thousands of people have android phone which are basically touch phones and when we play games on it there are banner ads from various companies advertising their services or applications and to if we are interested in them we need to click the ad and that will take us to Andriod market place or to the company's website, where we can get more details about the ads, but Airtel has a new Modus Operandi to con/cheat/fleece, its customers by running these ads which get charged, even if you happen to touch them accidently.

This is not acceptable at all, we should nt get charged to what we dont intend to buy unless we dont know if it is of our interest or not.

I am not against Airtel running these ads, but i am against the way they are cheating us.

Its like we walk in to a Shoe store and we are produced a bill for a pair of shoes which we havnt tried or bought, and the sales rep says hey you walked into the shoe store and we need to charge you for a pair of shoes you like it or not.

This is the modus operandi of Airtel, they are charging us directly on our account without us accepting any terms or conditions of the services they provide,
They run variety of these ads, some are B Grade, Hot B Town Beauties, South Indian Sexy Beauties, Sexy Models et al

This is totally not acceptable, even if we happen to click these ads we need to be directed to a website which will lay out all terms and conditions and they take our permission to go ahead and activate these services, not just forcefully adding it to our contract.

It like how they started the caller tunes, press * to get this tune and lakhs of them accidently clicked the * button and got charged and then there was big issue about it and now they say use *9# or something of this sort to get a caller tune.

I have spoken to 10's of reps and some managers at airtel as well and they say that they cant stop these ads nor they can change how it works.

I want to file a writ petition in the consumer court and get a stay order on Airtel Ads and want your guidance on it.

Please help.
