Airtel India — wrong acitvation of hello tune

To nodalofficer.[protected]@airtel.in
Sir, You are telling (given below) me that Hello Tune is not active on my number [protected] but today again Rs 30 has been wrongly deducted from my balance.It was 239.42 on 3/3/08 which is 209.42 now on 4/3/08 without using any service.Please note that you have also been reminded by me through several email letters in this regard. Please waive off the illegal charges at earliest. This is a matter of mental torture of a customer also which is subject to taking legal action.? Waiting for your response.-Amarnath Prasad.

Currently I am in Bangalore and have taken a new connection to be used with my Samsung Handset that I bought from the UK recently.

Surprisingly I discovered that this SIM has some compatibility problem with Samsung handsets (I tried with 5 different sets) but working fine with Nokia mobiles. I called customer care number of times, but they could not suggest anything. I visited the Airtel Outlet at ITPL, but they said that the SIM would be replaced if I pay for this but would take at least 15 working days!! I mailed NodalOffice but have got only automated response only - no communication. Finally I ended up buying a new Nokia Handset!!!

Again, the Hello Tune is getting activated every now and then on my cell without me asking for it. In past I called Customer service to get this deactivated, but today morning again I have got a SMS informing me that the service is again active on my number !!! When I called Customer care they are saying that I am being charged Rs. 1 per day ONLY and so it should not be a problem - I don't mind to be charged Rs. 100 per day provided I need the service. I get number of calls from Abroad and I don't want them to hear any stupid songs.

AirTel — Activate Hello tune wrongly

Respected Inspector,

On 5th Feb 2011, evening found that my hello tunes is activated. I didn't do it and so could not recall how I activated it. I tried to call back on customer care to find that customer care service is not working. I called on 6th Feb also and result was same. Then I called on 7th Feb morning and had talk with customer care representative. I asked him to check how my hello tunes is activated. He told me that I had called on some number 534321(not exactly sure) on 5th Feb 2011 8:23 pm. I asked to hold for a moment so I can check it on my cell. But he disconnected the call instead. You can check information by tracing my call on 7th Feb 2011 9:35am.

When I checked I found that at that time, I had called on [protected] as I got missed call from [protected] on 5th feb 2011 7:22pm. I called back and realised it to be Airtel Company number for Hello tunes and so disconnected the call.

Then I again called back to same customer care and talked to Anil( airtel customer care representative), I asked him to deactivate my service and refund the balance deducted. He did so.

I want to complaint against Airtel as this is very wrong practice to activate hello tunes of customer and earn from it. As I'm aware of my rights and procedure to take actions I can claim my money back. But there are many other less literate and unaware population who will be frustrated by such things and could not do anything.

Please don't earn your revenue by practicing such wrong deeds. Try to be honest and ethical.

Faithfully,
Jitendra Goswami
