Airtel mobile service provider — Deduction of money without permission

hello i am Airtel prepaid customer (No.[protected]).On last sunday dtd.27 Jan08 at abt 4 pm i got sms from company.after that at abt 6 pm i got a message that "you have been debited Rs.30/- for your last VAS downloading" Thus Rs.30/- debited from my balance.Then at abt 7.45 pm i called to the customer care abt my problem. They registred my complaint (No.[protected] and ask me to call after 48 hours.So on monday dtd 28 jan 08 at abt 8 pm i again contact to the customer care.They said that something marathi..activated on your account.However i deleted the sms without any action immediately.Then without customer's permission/agreement how company is doing this unfair business practice ? One more thing this is not the first time to deduct money.Four months ago in sept.07 also Airtel done this shameful job.
So plz take strict action against.
airtel gave permission to some
mobile servises to sent message without my permission
example: i getting some massage from 3333
it is sent to me some msg like share market, jokes
and it is collecting money .
i gave cmplaint to airtel custmer care but they didnot any to stop that msg.
for that i loss my balance up to 100r.s .
so take action on airtel and that 3333service

AirTel — subscribing the services without permission

my no. is [protected] & seven days back the airtel company has subscribed the joke service and they had charged Rs10/- for this service & Rs1/- per day for this service & they had subscribed this service without asking me.
airtel should maintain its reputation
Friends if you don't like it just do this.

From your Mobile Type unsub Videshi send to 57775.

it will be deactivated.
there are several customer on this site with such complaints and regarding airtel customer care it is the worst customer care or no customer care. customers are only to nab money in a stylish way.
Dil jo chahe paas laye... Airtel ka jaisa dil chahega waisa woh karenge aur paas layenge.

Airtel — Deduct money without permission

Airtel activated some service called Radio Firangi for 10 rs for 100 mins for 10 days, and needless to say I did not activate such a service. When I called customer care agent, she refused to refund my money saying that u have activated this service from your side, she says we noted that a call was made to u from airtel about this offer and u said yes to that, thats why it has been activated. She wasnt even ready to believe me that I did not receive any call so how could something be activated from my end, I even told her i can take my cell to a customer care center and show them my list of received calls to verify that i did not receive such a call, to this she replied that u will have deleted that call, how will we know for sure? Is the level of ethics of employers employed by Airtel? Needless to say, I got hyper and told her straight that if she doesnt refund the money, i'll make complaints in consumer courts and ensure people stay away from such a dishonest company, after which she refunded the money, but even at the end she said "Just coz u r saying that u have not activated the service urself, I am refunding the money but i know very well that u have activated this service".

I am absolutely disgusted by this behaviour. Does Airtel not have the common sense of checking the endless list of complaints put in consumer complaint courts, like these, and see the endless list of customers who say they have not activated some service from their end but still the money has been deducted ...By this it implies that all of customers are cheats and we are lying.

I am thinking o[censored]sing MNP to change to some other network now. People, stay away from airtel. This kind of notorious business has lately increased highly from airtel. And this is not even the first time, such deduction has happened with my number.
