Same Comment To My Number Also [protected]

There is a new twist from today. Airtel has started sending "Love Tips" from their number 290603.

With today's unsolicited VAS charge of Rs.3/- the Airtel robbery into my account has risen to Rs.12/-

Is anyone from Airtel listening?

M/s. Airtel, I am not a rich man. I am a retired person without any regular income. I use the phone only for communication with family and friends.

Please stop robbing me!!!

Please!!!

Mr. Hunny Chugh, Airtel Customer Service Team

You now have my number [protected].

You said in your comments that Airtel is to resolve the issue to our satisfaction.

Is it just an eyewash.

Airtel Prepaid — Unwanted messages from 290603 deducts Rs 3 daily

I am also registered in Do not call registry. Please get this stoppped ASAP this is damm irritating.

Anyone from Airtel listening...

Please stop sending the unwanted messages from 290603, im in internationally roaming and i dont want to loose my balance, so please stop this.

I have the same problem!! I was using the prepay no. for last 8 years and everyone was having this no.

It has got more than Rs 500 balance when I was gone abroad in march 2009 and I didn't use it for about 2 months and after coming back in june 2009 when I used it ... it says unregistered sim. I spoke to airtel customer service they said go to airtel showroom. When I went to airtel showroom they said this no. was not in use thats why it has been recycled.

I said why didn't you send me any notification about this and moreover it has got balance in it, how you can recycle it and they simply said we can't do anything about it. I said I will pay your fees to reactivate it becuase this no. is very important to me. but they said in a very rude manner we have told you that this no. is now for resale.

Then I said I will sue you becuase this is just a fraud Airtel is cheating the customers. They are stealing their money and customer service is also so rude.

If someone can help please do.

I almost thought that the irritating and expensive messages from 290603 has stopped.

I am wrong.

Today it changed back to “Thoughts for the day” and the timing changed to 8:30 night.

Another Rs. 3/- deduction.

Total loss now stands at Rs. 15/-, courtesy Airtel.

Please give some consideration for an old retired person.

Please stop these messages.

Same here.. I am also getting msgs from 290603 "Thought for the day" and deducting 3 Rs per day..!!
I have not subscribed to any of the services.. How to deactivate this.. ??

Same issue here. My No. is[protected] Total Deduction is Rs. 15/- so far. Sending an email to their customer service has so far not elecited any response.

I'm waiting for my balance to turn zero then wont refill it, Still have incoming free till Jan next year!!

Stop Sending the stupid messages. Knowing the tricks Airtel employs, I had already put my phone in the NDNC registry. Inspite of this the unsolicited messages continue.

Airtel is becoming ChorTEL

A guy facing identical problem was told to send a message STOP to 121 by Airtel. Even I have done the same. The reply I have received is that there are no Active Services on My Airtel Number. Go figure!! (ChorTEL Scam)

http://problems.in/2009/06/18/airtel/

Looks like complaining to the Nodal Officer is the only way out for now. Check up the nodal officer's details for your area on the airtel website.

Hi!

I'm also facing the same issue since last 3 days. I have been calling the customer care daily and they say that its now de-activated and I wont get the SMS again. But the problem continues with 2 SMS per day. TRAI should cancel license of such farudulant carrier. Here is text from TRAI web page
===
Value Added Services:
• No chargeable value added service shall be provided to a customer without his explicit consent.
• The subscriber for international roaming can opt a particular ring back tone from their service provider to
avoid unwanted/unimportant calls by indicating message to the calling party in the ring back tone about
his/her international roaming status.

Complaint Redressal Mechanism:
• Service Providers to appoint Nodal Officers in different service areas to deal with complaints
• All service requests/complaints made to the customer care helpline shall be assigned a unique docket
number and communicated to the customer.
=========

Vijay

same here!!!please stop it

After I sent a mail to Airtel nodal officer and cc to TRAI emails, the scam seems to have stopped [at least I did not get any SMS in last 34 hours]. You can find email address of nodal officer here.

Airtel Mobile — Fraud -prepaid no cancelled without my knowledge

i am having airtel prepaid no. [protected]. i kept for frequent use of this no. previously it is postpaid no i converted in to prepaid and with 999 voucher made lifetime prepaid.

but in last month i try to use this no. its show sim registration failed . i enquired about this to helpline they told this no is cancelled and then removed from our prepaid database and given to fresh selling. now you wont get this no. reason is "non usage of 90 days".

but my question is why the did not tell about this. because they have my residence no all my contact details. and without confirming with me how they can cancelled this no and then given to fresh selling.

i mailed to nodal office they also answering same that you wont get this no becuase of removal from database.

while giving this no airtel taking all my legal contact document. why they did not use for contact me. also for the lifetime use i recharge 999 voucher. now this money is waste.

this is really fraud becuase a number alloted to a customer. while cancelling this number airtel do no considered concern of the alloted customer.

i need my number back. please help me.

Airtel prepaid mobile — undesired calls from

It is un-fortunate that without the permission of subscriber you people have registered me for Friendship calls. Despite my repeated requests to de-register from this club at your customer care cell, I continue to receive calls. Case in point is today (26th July '09 at 12.41 pm).
If I still continue to receive calls then I WILL APPROACH CONSUMER FORUM.

I am getting unauthorized call from one mobile no([protected])to my mobile no. please i want this no identification/ address.

they have done that to me too and without my knowledge but i have got no messages and still amount of more than 100 rs. deducted.
called today for dnd registry and was told this sim is not registered under my name. wonder if they have given my no. to somebody else who has activated this service or it is mischief by airtel people themselves to make money out of you.

They have done same thing to me also ...airtel have deducted 220Rs without any subcription, some unwanted msg come from 290603 and every time some some msg come airtel deduct 3Rs as a VAS usage, but this is wrong i have never subscribed for ant such service.I have thought this might problem of my handset setting so i have formated the handset also but deduction still continue.

I am also being cheated by airtel in the form of sms service as "thought of the day" from 290603 without my intimation and consent. i have been duped of around Rs 100 in last few days. In spite of request made to air tel on 121 on 16 Aug 2009, i am getiing the sms and deductions are being made of Rs 6 a day for two sms from 290603. I must get my money back and the serives must be stopped.

Lots of Airtel prepaid customers are facing the problem of getting “Value Added Service from 290603” subscribed without their consent. Once a user receives a message “thought of the day” from 290603 there is deduction of Rs.3/- per SMS. Every day each user gets 4 SMS. Worst part is such SMS are delivered during mid night 2:00AM, 4:00AM (proof can be provided on request).
It is a real hard work to get rid of this problem by contacting Airtel customer care. Apart from this it is harder to get refund back.
Many called this as SCAM. This started in June 09 and again in Aug 09.
It appears to be joint scam between Airtel and the service provider of VAS 290603 to boost their revenues. Most people would not be even aware of this deduction, so they are basically robbing ignorant customers. It appears a lot of other customers are also facing this problem but not many are raising this issue as this time consuming. Airtel customer service is poor and they seem intent on cheating the customers. As of today there is no way to contact customer person using 121. So one has no choice but live with deduction.
Airtel has about 100 million GSM subscribers today, 4-SMS per dayRs.3/- for a single subscriber may not be much, but for 100 million subscribers a day it is 4xRs.300 million a day – one of the biggest scams going on today, but no one writes about it.
Search using google.com “290603 airtel” to understand depth of the problem.

Yes, I have been facing the same problem with Airtel for the last 3 months. Hundreds of calls to Airtel have got me nowhere. It's obvious this is a SCAM.

I suggest someone write to the Economic Times and all the newspapers that cater to share market information, letting share market investors and traders know that this is a shady company (like ENRON) trying to inflate revenues by fraudulent means. I suspect that crores of subscribers are being charged this way by Airtel, and this is downright FRAUD.

The SEBI also needs to know about this. Airtel company officials should be made to answer to TRAI and the SEBI and government regulators about this.

Imagine if they are doing this to 1 crore subscribers, 4 times a day. That is Rs. 12 crores revenue per day by SCAMMING the innocent users like us who are getting nowhere with this. Airtel refuses to even admit this is a problem. Each person is being told that he/she MUST have subscribed to this service!

Even I am facing the same problem

I am having AIRTEL prepaid lifetime connection. I am getting unwanted service messages from 290603 from one month. Daily 2-3 messages are received of “Thought for the day” and “Movie”. 3 Rs. are debited from my account for each message. I have not subscribed for this service. Around 200 Rs. have been debited from my account till.
I don’t want this subscription.
I kindly request you to stop sending these messages and refund me my money.

I am having airtel connection with no. [protected].
I have been charged rs 10/- for love tips suscription which i have not subscribed. The deduction have been made twice recently.
I don't need this subscription. Stop it and if possible refund my money.

I too have the 290603 problem, this is nothing more than a scam by Airtel to get your hard earned cash. The simple solution is to let your sim card run out and change phone companies I am sure another company will welcome you as a customer. We do not have to suck up to SCUM BAG companies like Airtel. Tell them to stick their serviice into a place that the sun never shines.

Airtel Prepaid — unwanted subscription of 290603 service

Sir,

I am having a base model of Nokia bearing no.[protected] but I have been automatically subscribed to Thought for the day service from 290603 Airtel Prepaid service. I am being debited by Rs.3/- every 30 minutes and thus I have lost Rs.333/- of my balance.

I don't want any more messages from the above service and I need it to be blocked so that I do not loose any more money.

Hoping for a favourable action.

If you are facing the problem of getting unwanted VAS from 2906030 please dial at the Airtel customer care number 121 then for information in english press 3 then press 29 there will be technical support you have to give them the details of your mobile number and your name thereafter they deactivate the services for you. Please help others who face similar problem.

Hi

I have not subscribed for the "JOKES" from my phone.

May be my small neice have accidentely subscribed for that service through Airtel Live.Well that is just a posssibility but I am not sure of this.

Since I never wanted that service I unscribed it by sending the neccessary SMS to 55382.

After some time I recieved SMS back which said "Invalid Request .You are not Subscribed for jokes".

Now since I already had doubt that may be it was due to some error with airtel system, to ensure the same I called your customer care service.

Two things disoppointed me a lot.

1.I was not at all happy be the executive which I spoke and felt very insulted by the way he spoke to me.His behavior was very rude and he had some kind of 'don't care' attitude.Even after 24 hours I feel upset when I remember the convesation.

2.With such a IT infra structure the executive had no way to trace that how /why my request for subscribing 'Jokes ' got processed(like how and when did the system recieve instructions of any form from me).When I requested this information there was a blunt reply that he did not have faciltity to trace that information.When I said I doubted it was due to Airtel system error he said that can never happen.I don't know how an executive claim that airtel IT infrastucture has zero errors and never does it behave abruptly.When I scanned internet, internet is full of complains agaist the system.

Lastly as airtel claims of "world-class services built on leading edge technologies" I would kindly request you to inform me that how the subscription for jokes got processed.

Below are my details which you may require

airtel has started 2 send zodiac massage & charging rs.30 for subscribtion.but i have not applied 4 any subscribtion.what airtel is doing.........plz help 2 unsubscribe.

Airtel Prepaid — to unsubscribe what i had not subscribed to in the first place

in October, i got an sms telling me that Rs.30/- had been deducted for airtel radio subscription which i had not asked for and now, in November, i have got another sms for a similar amount saying that the services have been renewed.
Can somebody look into this please ASAP as it is quite bothersome to be charged when i do not need the above mentioned services of airtel radio.

Even I'm facing the same problem. As I'm using postpaid service, for each bill I've to check the unwanted value added service.
The Airtel customer support is hopeless n keep toggling about the result. I'm raising the same complaint from May 09 still the problem is not solved. & Every month the charges gets added in my bill.
The regional officers are useless. Mr Parriera, Mr Satyjieet are the senior persons but nobody got the solution.
The receipt of these SMS is so irritating that I'm going to swithcover the service.
Airtel doesn't has the efficeint customer support.

Airtel Prepaid — Airtel started direct official robbery

Sir
want your kind attention for following for my no. [protected]

1. after recharging with rs. 94 when i started surfing within 8am they deducted all my balances but it should be within 1gb free. it happened thrice. amade several complaints and their gprs help desk (id[protected] etc ) after thorough review also agreed that my main balance was wrongly deducted due to some unknown reason and it wont happen now onwards but they have no way to refund my money back. they now blocked my 121 line. when i mail at [protected]@airtel.in got the same one way official reply stating that they made all deduction correctly. Now how can i get my money back or get full statement o[censored]sages.

2. Today itself i recharged successfully for 100 sms and balance enquiry shows about 100 sms. But when i sent sms all the charges were deducted from my main balance of around rs.70. lodged complaint and they replied '' Please be informed that due to blackout days from dated 31/12/09, 12 AM to 01/01/2010 12:59 PM the SMS boosters and free SMS are not applicable and the local SMS will be charged Re.1/- as per your tariff.'' now how a customer will know airtel is changing their plans for some few hours (may be just to collect some extra money)!

I should not expect any refund from a corporate robber. is there any other solution.

Airtel Prepaid — Charged again for unwanted subscription

Repeated Issue:
Not sure if Airtel is in need of money that it is stealing from its customers or if it the area manager trying to attain some target...

As with lakhs and lakhs of innocent customers, Airtel subscribed my 62 yr old aunty for all kind of paid subscriptions for the 3rd or 4th time and sent a note (SMS) saying "Thank you for subscribing" as if she subscribed to the so called value added service!!!

I'd contacted customer care couple of times for this particular line and got all subscriptions cancelled, registered in "Do not Disturb" a month a half back and again today she is charged Rs 30 for radio service which she didn't subscribe for.

I've had similar issue with the other 8 lines that I, my mother, father, two of my aunties and uncles use and I've contacted Airtel so many times that I would have wasted 48 hours of my life just with Airtel customer care!

Seriously thinking of moving away from Airtel as it seems to be run by a gang of thieves (atleast in my zone)...

Though I let Airtel steal our money in earlier cases, NOW I WANT MY 30Rs BACK.

Hope Govt makes it a law that no cell phone service provider can enroll its customer to paid services automatically and start charging them. Service providers should be punished for such malpractices mentioned above.

Occasionally they do send some message in English with some information on cancelling the service, but it is INDIA, not everyone knows to read ENGLISH, especially the old people. And ofcourse, in some cases, the cancelling procedure given in the SMS doesn't work... not surprised at all.

Message to Airtel: Begging for money on streets is much better than stealing from customers.

Affected Phone number: [protected]

I don't subscribe any services but charged Rs 10 every week.

Mr Rakesh,
Please note that I've already furnished the cell phone number out there in my post. Why doesn't Airtel just credit the account with the 30Rs??? I'm not ready to talk to any customer care representatives... they hardly know anything!!

Thanks

Not sure what Mr Vinay or Rakesh did, but today my aunt lost another 30 Rs... not sure if this site is just a joke that no one from Airtel has taken it seriously.

FYI: I'd registered her number in DND registry couple of months back and why is she still being tortured by such unwanted SMS and stupid charges??? Airtel, pls take action ASAP and give her 60Rs of her hard earned money back.

Airtel — Robbery of money and non-refund of prepaid charges

Dear Dignitiaries,

My niece Rajashree Ganesh had the misfortune of subscribing to your prepaid mobile services through your authorised representative Bhavana Televentures having office near Citibank ATM, Opp Andheri Busstop Mulund(W) Mumbai on 29-01-10. She paid cash of Rs 249/- for a lifetime prepaid and was issued receipt no 843. The number alloted to her was [protected].

The card was immediately activated within 24 hours on 30-01-10. She was informed by your authorised representative that a verification call would be placed at the residence telephone no given by her viz[protected]. No verification call was placed uptil 2nd February, 2010. On 3rd February 2010 my niece and her parents travelled out of station to Udaipur due to which the residence was locked. On 8th Feb 2010 my niece made a refill of Rs 120 in the morning at around 14:00 hrs. At around 15:00 hours the mobile number alloted was deactivated. Upon enquiring with your representative Bhavana Televentures she was informed that the number was deactivated since telephonic verification was negative and that the amount of Rs 249 & the refill of Rs 120 would be forfieted.

The basic issue here is how is the number activated before the telephonic verification is completed and how can it be deactivated without actually doing a verification given that the family members of the subscriber are out of station and cannot be reached at the residential telephone numbers. This kind of service of looting subscribers and forfeiting their hard earned money is third grade and deserves to be punished and stopped.

My niece shared the phone number with various friends/colleagues and by this callous act on your part she is now without a phone number.

I demand an immediate explanation and compensation for this pathetic and lousy service carrying the brand name of Mr Sunil Bharti Mittal. It is a shame on your part. Would also request you to check out which fools and are manning the Mulund West centre of yours. I had the opportunity of visiting that place for lodging my complaint but after seeing the numerous people who had complaints there I felt that visiting a fish market would have been less stressful.

By all this I as well as my niece have been subjected to mental torture, embarassment and damage to our reputation and we demand an immediate refund of Rs 369/- and an adequate amount as compensation for mental torture and embarassment faced.

I am sending a copy of this complaint to your competitors and would also publish this in the newspapers if I do not get a response within 12 hours.

No Thanks and No regards

Airtel Prepaid- Pay before you ever knew — Airtel must beg, not steal money

I woke up today n read an sms from 58888 "Thank you for your subscription to SAMACHAR pack. To unsubscribe send UNSUB SAMACHAR to 58888. Charges 1rs/day"

What the hell. I never subscribed. But still I sent sms with UNSUB SAMACHAR to 58888 and I was charged 3 rs for the sms. So total 4 rs lost for the smses 1=subscribe 3=unsubscribe

Now i called 121>5>1 they said i will be charged 50paise per 3 minute to talk to customer rep. So I decided to avoid it. They take 15 minutes approx.

What the hell is it? Why doesn't AIRTEL beg me than loot me for money. 4 rs isn't too much but it hurts when they cheat. These fraud airtel people suck.

So better ask me for 4 rs in begging than doing such nonsense

Airtel Mobile Services — unsolicited best games and similar smses

for the last one month i am getting smses on my mob no [protected] without my applying or consenting eg amazing racing subscription, girls in bikini and so on from http://gclub.in. Rs.5 for each of such sms messages is being deducted from my balance amount in my mobile without my consent. i had objected to it by sending a dnd message and was assured by airtel mobile that such msg wd be disntinued.
Airtel mobile is following unethical practices and needs to be punished heavily. Secondly the amount deducted from my mob no.[protected] by such underhand means and that to without even asking my consent to join such clubs should be credited to my account in my mobile no.[protected]. I feel this amount would be in thr region of Rs.100.00

Airtel — Unsolicited Email Messages

Dear Sir,
I am an Airtel Post Paid customer, since Dec 2007.
I receive my bill online, hence have shared my personal email address with Airtel.
Since last few months I have been receiving messages from Airtel for their DTH connection.
Is this not unfair for a consumer, as the company is using my personal email address to cross sell their product.I had never asked/ confirmed with Airtel regarding their promotional messages. Is this not breach of trust as Airtel is using the information it has in its database, without my consent ? This is the case with millions of consumer who utilize the services of Airtel ?
I am sure this is not an isolated case and many like me, who have share their personal email adress with Airtel are bearing the burnt of this unethical business practice from Airtel.
What if Airtel share our personal mobile numbers or email address with third party for financial gains ?
Though Airtel provide an unsubscribe link, the email address mentioned in the mail communication id non functional. I have raised this issue with Airtel, but still I get DTH promotional mail communication.

Regards,
Pankaj Tajane

Airtel — Receiving unsolicited sms with deduction of Rs: 15/- each time.

My Airtel Mob No. is [protected]. Since July/2010, I have been receiving msgs from AD-54321 " You have been renewed for My Expense Tracker subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs: 15. Enjoy Best Games ! Join Games Club http://gclub.in " and each time Rs: 15/- are going to be deducted from my balance. This has happened for more than 10 times and inspite of send them "STPO" on 121, there is no stoppage in sending the above bloody msg and deduction continues from my balance.

Would you please help me from the above unethical practice of AIRTEL or shall discontinue the connection .

on[protected], i bearing airtel's no. [protected], got an sms telling me that Rs.30/- had been deducted for sony pack which i had not asked for. Can somebody look into this please ASAP as it is quite bothersome to be charged when i do not need the above mentioned services of any kind of pack like jokes etc...

Airtel Prepaid — Unwanted Subscription

My mobile no is [protected]. Over the past 3 months, every month I am receiving a message from 50505 saying that "Thank you for registering. You have been charged Rs 15 for..... event." and Rs 15 is being deducted from my balance. On 2 of the last occasions i contacted the customer care center and the have removed the subscription and money was refunded back into the account but on both occasions I was charged 1/- for the talk time. I had instructed that I am not interested in any subscriptions and that i am not to be disturbed. I was assured that it will not be repeated in future. But now again on[protected] I received the same message and Rs. 15 has been deducted. I do not want to be disturbed with offers or subscriptions and I want the money to be refunded to my account.

respected sir,
i am bhagwat using ur airtel company's prepaid connection with number [protected]. and i dont want to any company services.company activate jokes and other services. if possible as soon as deactivate all services. thank you.

It is to inform anyone from airtel so called " SCAMTEL" that

i have got three airtel numbers and this ScamTel is been robbing me for more than last three years . once i activated GPRS service on my mobile number [protected] for one onth and then i sent a msg to stop it . i have got the msg that " my service has been stopped and i wont be charged Rs 299 anymore", then one month past with any trouble and then the next month i was charged Rs 299 for GPRS, this thing didnt stop for like 5-6 months and in the mean time i called customer care so many time and they said " Sir we didnt start this service, you must have sent any msg from your side". finally when i told them that i am gonna sue ur LAME company., they finally refunded my amount which was near about 1500.
Now for few months first they charged me Rs 1 per day for more than one month and when i got to know that i have been robbed again by this Bull Company, i called customer care( which is now paid service i[censored] call in) i was charged rs 3 for that custoer care call And i was refunded Rs 6.
Then again After 10-15 days this HEAD COMPANY again put some cricket alert on all my three cell numbers ( [protected], [protected], [protected] ) And start to robbing me again . When i called customer care I was charged some money and got refund for last 72 hrs charges.
Now the latest one ---- i got to know on 6th January that this SCUM BAG COMPANY has put some RANBIR KAPOOR PACK on my number [protected] and has been roobing my rs 1 per day since the Dec 19 2010 and when i called in the customer care, these HEADS refunded me ONLY RS 3 .

AND yeah not to mention that have been registered at NDNC .


IN case case any LOOSER from AIRTEL reading this i have two words for you "" SCREW YOU""

And to all my fellow Citizens . Please Switch to any other Service Provider !

Airtel — Airtel prepaid unwanted subscriptions by Airtel itself

Respected sir,

We are using two airtel prepaid mobile connections. 80561***96 and 98424***38.

For which, whenever we recharge/topped up, the balance goes off automatically without even using if for calling. When we called the customer care, they are saying you have been subscribed for news, jokes etc, which we never asked for. And then they unsubscribed us.

After recharing next time, the same cheating continues. Its a never ending problem. I think, most of the prepaid users might be facing this problem.

Request you to warn AIRTEL for its day robbery. Its SHAME for them, for thier SHAMEFUL activities like these.

AIRTEL PREPAID = CHORTEL — UNAUTHORISED ACTIVATION

AIRTEL PREPAID EVERY NOW AND THEN ACTIVATES SOME UNSOLICITED VAS. I LOOSE MONEY ON THAT AND THEREAFTER IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO CONTACT 121 AND 198 AND THERE TOO I HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENT FOR CALLS.
MAJOR PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THAT IF SOMEBODY GOES FOR RECHARGING FOR FULL TALKTIME AIRTEL THINKS THAT THEY ARE RICH AND START CHEATING. I HAVE GONE FOR FULL TALKTIME RECHARGE ON 1ST JANUARY 2011 AND IMMDTLY THEY RECOVERED AROUND RS. 280-290 ON THIS OR THAT VALUE ADDED SERVICE. AFTER A LOT OF FIGHTING AND SPOILING MOOD IN NEWYEAR BEGINING, I COULD RECOVER ONLY PART OF MY MONEY AND THEREAFTER THEIR 121 AND 198 CHEATERS DONT EVEN RESPOND TO CALLS.

DESPITE MY REPEATED REQUESTS FOR NOT ACTIVATING ANY VAS OR ANY GOOD SERVICE EVEN IF IT IS FREE, THEY ARE CONTINUED TO PLAY MISCHIEVES.YESTERDAY THEY AGAIN ACTIVATED AIRTEL CALL MANAGER SERVICE AND STARTED DEDUCTING CHARGE FOR THE SAME. NOBODY IN 121 OR 198 DESK IS READY TO TELL WHO STARTS SUCH UNSOLICITED SERVICES AND WHY? ANSWER IS CLEAR AIRTEL STARTS UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS SUCH VAS AND FOR UNDUE GAINS.

AFTER DEALING WITH THEIR 121 AND 198 PEOPLE I COULD REALISE THAT HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIGHT WITH MIGHTY ORGANISATIONS?
NOW WITH NUMBER PORTABILITY AT LEAST AN OPTION IS AVAILABLE TO MOVE ON RATHER TO FIGHT WITH THESE CALLOUS PEOPLE.

Airtel — unsolicited subscription for Movie and lifestyle debited to my Mobile

Since 24th June, 2011 Air tel is debiting Rs.1.50 daily to my account towards subscription for Movie and Lifestyle which I never subscribed to. My Mobile No. is [protected]. I want the company to refund my account immediately with the amount already debited.

Please provide all these facilities to the people who have subscribed instead do not charge us for unnecessary reasons.

Airtel — Non refund of Activation Charges

I am vivisting the airtel gallery at chalakudy since two months with a complaint of non refund of my activation charges. No action has been taken still. The number is active sice 4 years and i wanted to keep the number active. Really worst service in this competitive environment....

Airtel — Unwanted charges and not resolving complaints from 3 months

I am suffered from airtel services they activate the services and never listen the complaints/or work on complaints neither on customer care or Consumer forum. I have also make complaints on 17 july against VOV Video Service for deactivation on my mobile no [protected]. But they don't stop the VOV VIDEO SUBSCRIPTION services and also block the customer Care service on my mobile no. Who Will pay the amount which is deduduted on my mobile no from May . I was very unhappy from airtel. If they dont't stop the service and return the amount which was deduted from my account then I Switch to some other network.

Airtel — Activation unsolicited subscription

The airtel has activated subscription and deducted Rs 5 for an service we never asked for. They repeatedly do this and deduct amount. We have complained this to the airtel customer call center but no action has been taken yet.

Airtel — Unsolicited subscription to services by Airtel

For last two days, Airtel has been charging me Rs 5/- everyday for some video parlour service which I never subscribed myself. When I first got the sms for this, I called the customer care where they said that they will deactivate it. Today again, I got a message saying that it has been reactivated.

Airtel is playing these dirty schemes of subscribing people to unwanted services so that they can be fleeced. I checked some of the threads on GrahakSeva.com and it seems this is being faced by a lot of people. I would like a very strict action taken against Airtel.

Hi,

I am Ajay Sathe and my no. is [protected].

I am really dissappointed with Airtel. I am using Airtel Friend's sim card since last 5 years. I am using this card since my college days. Now I am working in a MNC. Though I get many cheap and attractive Corporate Plans from many operators in my company, I never changed my sim card because I wanted my phone number and Friends Plan to stay continued. But, today I feel like changing my plan.
Usually, I recharge my mobile with Rs.120, Rs.75 and Rs.60 vouchers. Today, I recharged my mobile with Rs.75 from Internet Banking and I found that my Airtel Friends Plan has changed to Normal Airtel Plan. I called up customer care and I was told that Rs. 75 wala recharge has changed my plan. The person from customer care gently said me that- "This change in Rs.75 recharge has taken place 8 days back and you should be knowing this." Now how would I know this without any intimation from Airtel? When I told him that I m doing this recharge since last many years and how can this change be done so suddenly, he suggested me that from next time, before doing recharge, I should call up the customer care to confirm about what recharge I am doing every time. He told me that now my plan cannot be changed back to my previous plan.
How can Airtel make such changes suddenly without any intimation to the customer? Or are these tactics used to kick out their Airtel Friend's customers?
I want to get my previous plan back or now I will switch onto some other operator. I know this wont make any difference to the Airtel, but I dont want to be with such a operator who are so irresponsible to their customers. And in addition to this, switching onto other operation will atleast give me some intelligent custormer care where I will get correct information everytime I call them. As far as my experience, Airtel has summoned the team of most irresponsible and fool customer care executives who dont have any proper and correct information to give to their customers. And on the top, they charge the customer 50 Paise/3 minutes for talking with their stupid customer care executives.

Please suggest me what can I do now?

Thanks.

Airtel — Fraud in scheme strategies

I have been using my Airtel Mob. no.[protected] for last 1 year under life time facilities ,even after taking tariff plans to changed my existing call rate no changes take place i have been complaining abt the same to airtel serv. centres call centres many times but no response received yet hence bearing financial losses

Airtel — Cheating act by Airtel Executive

Dear sir,

An Airtel Executive (Name=Pradeep, phone number = [protected]) came to my office and told that there is a scheme under which National roaming will be Free between two CUG simcards applied by the same person.

I asked him "one sim card is going to be in Bangalore, and one is going be in Chennai (I reside in chennai). Will there be any roaming charges if calls are dialled between these two sim cards?"

I asked this question almost 15 times in a month whenever I observed the 'increasing bill' online. He kept on saying "No problem. there will be no roaming charges. It will not reflect in your actual bill."

Now the bill came including the rental charges. He is not attending the calls now. I have already filed a complaint in Airtel. But they told they cant do any justice to me (callcentre executive I spoke with is 'Ramani') .

Expecting your Kind co-operation.

Airtel — my sim card

my sim card is not supporting internet on my pc, it shows some ppp link error, please tell me how to resolve this problem

Such hoax calls are being received regularly. They pretend to be fromAirtel Headquarters Dubai and will ask for Dish Tv IOTZ cards ranging from 9000/- to 9250/- stating that the subscriber has won Rs.10 lac prize and to release the lock they need the money.. I being a dealer of Dish tv advise all such persons to ignore the call and rather lodge the police complaint. Well Spread the message and in case it is possible to register police complaint, then pl. do it.

Thanks

I know somebody from my contacts who has lost Rs. 40000 to these cheats. He was lured by a huge amount of Rs.10 Lacs. He paid Rs.8350 for some Platinum Card and then Rs. 20000 as Tax for releasing the money and another Rs. 13000 for some blaw blaw... These guys will tell you a new story all the time and will swear of their children that they have the amount lying with them which is ready to go in your account after you pay them the required money. They ask the payment to be made through the DISH tv ITZ cards. Surprisingly these cards are consumed within 10 minutes of reveal of the number of that card to these culprits. Since the calls are made from an international number, it is not possible to trace these people.
My sincere advice is to keep away from these people, they will show you a lot of money but you will get nothing but lose your hard earned money.

I had a missed call from some unknown number today.When I called back at this number, I came to that It was from Dubai and the caller said that he is calling from Dubai AIRTEL office. The number was [protected] and they informed about the lottery which I won worth 10 lakhs.The person asked me to give my account number so as to transfer money of Rs.10 lakhs.
He also said that around 135 Airtel number won this lottery.This call deducted Rupees 28 from my balance in mobile.When I called to Airtel Customer Care, they said there is no such office in Dubai.I was shocked that how someone got my airtel number and trying to hack my personal account number.

I requested the Airtel to take strict action against this number user mentioned above.As the company is such abig brand in India and there is no security check for the customers.

Also I got a fraud message once in my Inbox that is from TM-GUINNESS, the message is Congratulations!! your personal cell number have won a prize money of 700, 000.00 British Pounds for the Splash Promotion organised by Guinness Organistaion. Contact our fudiciary agent in England via e-mail for the claim of the prize money.E-mail:[protected]@hotmail.com, Tel:[protected]

Airtel should not transfer these messages from the unknown users and operators as it wastes resources, time and money.The sender or the caller should be caught red-handed.

help me please

kuldeep kumar [protected] jalandhar (punjab)
help me please

I too recieved the same call today Aug 12th. I have denied listneing their full story and shut-up.

I have received a call from [protected] an ISD no. may be of Dubai He told me, his name as RAMESH and asked me to call back as i have won some prize from AIRTEL.So i made him a call back, then he asked me-my name and address - i gave him the information -then he told that i have won a prize of 10 lacs of rupess .
I thought may be it is true. then he asked me to make another call to [protected]. but i didnt make a further call, thought to ask customer care or to search on internet of any such offer then i came accross of this website, so i also posted my comment. i have been charges around 10/min when make him a call. i really cried alot bcoz of loss of my airtel balance on such a stupid thing.
This is such a ridiculous things, people have touched the baseness, they making fool of innocent people. be careful every one. AIRTEL please take some necessary actions

I have recieved a similiar call and have regrettfully deposited rs 5000 by means of airtel dish coupons
i guess it is easy to get dubai sims in india because now that i think of it that crook who cheated my money was indian for sure and not an arab...

I got a call from the number [protected], saying that i have won Rs 25 lacs in Airtel Lottery. I knew from the very begining that this is a false call and somebody is trying to fool me. I screwed him up over the phone only and to my guess I was right I was a false call to extract money from me.

Just we aware of such persons asking for details. If possible make aware to your friends.

I just got a call from[protected], he said, I have won a Airtel lottery of 10 lakhs.. I said shut up and keep the phone. Though I never knew about this site, it was common sense after all. Why would any company give 10 lakh just like that?? be it Airtel or any gaint for that matter? If so, it would advertise everywhere by now.

I advise you please ignore such calls... BECOZ there is nothing like hard earned money...

i received a coll from [protected] he told me that i won 10 lack and he told me to coll to sundar sing at[protected] or[protected] .i was not beliving on him so i asked than he told me that do u beleive on god and he told the first 4 digit of my sim no. and col to surendra than i colled to surendra i heard dial tone which was bollywood song and dubai's coll ring tonne was punjabi somg than he asked me file no. so i shoure that he is cheating me and than i came to this site .thanks i m safe.

ON MY AIRTEL DAILY RECHARGE IS REDUCING WITHOUT ACTIVTING ANY SCHEME ACCEPT [protected]@10 SCHEME

I received a call from [protected] and they told me that i won rs. 25 lakhs...then they told me to call on [protected] to get further details...but after reading all the above comments i got to know that ther are fraud...

I am getting call from [protected] - Amit and told me that you won rs. 10 lakhs ... for further inquiry please talk to MR. Rahul Sharma [protected]. While making further inquiry Rahul Sharma told that purchase Dish TV coupen of Rs. 11800 from your nearest dealer so that you will get one secret no. and pass on to me. There after 3 representativs of Airtel will come to your resident and they will deliver voucher of Rs. 10 Lakhs after certain verification.
RS told that switch off your mobile and don't tell this matter to any body else... it is secret from airtel office.

Kindly help us what to do. ..in this circumtancy because i can not switch off the phone... for receiving my normal call.

Be careful every one. AIRTEL please take some necessary actions

I going to put up the case file against airtel telecommunication in consumer forums, i lost my 10, 000 Rs today and surprisingly the dish TV coupon i bought is useless within half an hour, How the hell these Pakistanis are making money from a Dish TV recharge coupon.These numbers are from Pakistan "+92" or "0092" is Pakistan's country code. I can see so many people getting this kind of false call in airtel mobile only, So the moral responsibility goes to this Telecom industry either they take necessary steps or face the jurisdiction in consumer court. Airtel Telecom colud send a SMS or warning through customer care centers regarding to this fake calls but they did nothing. I even called up so many times to the Airtel excutive officer but no one picked my phone.


I have already complained(FIR against airtel telecom) in the police station and tomorrow i am going to consumer forum and mailing a copy of FIR to various news channel as well as local news papers also . Airtel will pay for the ignorance to their customers. It's almost 100 days when the first comment is posted here and airtel is still sleeping.



Let's see if i can bring Airtel into my toes and lick it as well.
Please note the point that only the airtel customers are having these fraud calls.these culprits can ask your home address, license card details, bank account numbers even your pan card number, as they asked these details from me.I request every one who read my message to beware of these Pakistani stupid [censored] frauds.I don't need to tell what is Pakistan? As the whole world know Pakistan is the most dangerous place and a heaven for terrorist.Pakistan is just a dummy land of republic nation they all are just terrorist.



Airtel is big brand in India but do not seem to take strict action against these cheaters.Sooner or later Aritel is going down. I'm going to throw this airtel Sim away outta my mobile.

i also had gone trough the same process mention above, i got calls from the following number[protected]suil prasad) and[protected]sanjay karma) they said all the same story which are mentioned above.but thing is that the said they are calling from mumbai.
i don, t no who is responsible to take action for this ...

I received a call from a no. [protected] at 10.20 AM on 05.12.2009. That time I couldnt pick up, seeing a new no., I called back. The person on the other hand introduced himself as some Mr. Ramesh from Airtel Headoffice mumbai and told me that I have won Rs. 25 Lakhs prize and also gave me a no. [protected] to contact one supervisor named Ram Singh for claiming the prize. I contacted on the no. but it was one lady from calcutta. Once again I called on the first no, this time he started his conversation with "Salam Walekum". I got suspicious and then I called customer care executive of airtel at 11:11 A.M and registered my complaint there. The Customer Care executive told me that if I got any call of this type, i should lodge a complaint to the Local Police as well. I request the telecommunication communication companies particularly Airtel to restrict these kind of fraud calls as it troubles the people a lot and it should not happen to anybody else further.
