[Resolved]  Airtel — Fake billing charges and false promise

Address:Pune, Maharashtra

Airtel promised me unlimited data usage per month for Rs 350. At that time there was no 3G and all 2.5G. The name of the plan itself was "unlimited data". I continued that plan for 2 years with the hope when 3G will come I will be able to use same plan even when less costly plans were available.
When 3G launched they simply changed the name of my plan to 2G plan and did not gave me 3G.

Also they kept increasing late fee bill payment fine without any intimation.

Airtel — fake billing

Sir, I m very fed up with airtel for their fake billing in my no.[protected] connected at wright town jabalpur . once I have complaint also but they have waive my half amount but again I faced the same problem with airtel
In my last invoice I was shocked to see some 4 ISD call charges worth Rs. 633.60.One call was for even 1 hr.All these numbers take you to some IVR in Austria.

Since activation of my number [protected] in Feb 2007 I have never opted for ISD services.Only God and Airtel knows when it got auto activated and even auto calling started???

I paid the bill minus these ISD charges.I have written and spoken to Airtel but they are playing the tape that I have called so I have to pay.When asked for proof of my calls if at all I have done; they cannot do anything?

Now I am getting SMS's that either I pay or services would be discontinued.After 8 years of association and championing Airtel this is what was in store.

Airtel customer care is as usual a piece of .CAn anybody suggest a way of settling scores with Airtel now that I have decided to move away to some other service provider.

Obviously never will I pay those fake ISD charges.

AirTel — Fake Charges

i have notice a one thing with Airtel Mobile. when i cut the phone on 59 Sec. But Amount is Deduct of 2 min. i have talk with Customer care executive in this matter no any satisfactory action from their end. its happened twice time

Thanks .
i agree yaar, inhone loot machaa rakhi hai, main bhi "friends chat" services of charge rs 30 per month ke hisaab se 3 mahine ke liye de raha hoon, uar customer care ko to haal ha - cust(takleef) + mer(marna) + care (dhyaan se). matlab custmer ke ma kasst se marne ka dyaan rakhane wala department.

Bharti Airtel — fake billing charges

I'm Aniket Kumar, Engineering student from PESSE, Bangalore. I want to file a complain against BHARTHI-AIRTEL.

I took airtel internet postpaid connection bearing phone no. [protected] with account no. [protected]. The connection got activated on 22nd Sept and after 4 days i started receiving sms from 54321 charging me Rs.99 every now and then. This continued for 14 days. And currently outstanding amount is Rs 7170. I haven't made any calls nor did i send any sms. All i did was download stuff and browse using this UNLIMITED 999 plan internet connection.
This huge amount has been charged against me in 14 days.

The proof has been shown below.. These are the actual sms. Nothing has been modified.There are still more of these. Kindly help me. I'm so tortured mentally. I'm helpless. I'll be on my knees even if i have to. PLEASE!!!!!!
