Airtel — UNNECESSARY SERVICE ACTIVATION

Address:Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh

My no is [protected]. AIRTEL has unnecessarily activated a service (55155) for sending LOVE TIPS which i never asked for and whenever i sent msg to stop the service, i get msg that it has been already activated on your number. its even more frustrating to contact their customer executive, they will route you through hundred service options but will never connect to any executive and in the end charge you for this stupid call you made to stop the service. I really wonder why they resort into this cheap tactics to earn money, they are such a big name should maintain its dignity.
kindly look into the matter, save me from this horror!!!!!!!!

Hi , my Aunty's number is [protected](airtel) (She's too old and sick, dat's y i'm writing this).

6 or 7 months back, callertune tune got activated automatically and rs.20 got deducted.
So i used airtel automatic IVR system to deactivate it. I received a sms saying the will get deacivated within a day.So i thought that service would have been deactivated. but to my surprise , the very next month another 20 rs was deducted from the account, so i called the cust.care to deactivate the service, he accepted the request and said that the service wud be deactivated soon. Then i was not in bangalore for 2 months, wen i came bk , my aunt said still amount getting deducted so i called cust.care again , but to my surprise he told
that two services are active, 1>caller tune n 2> cricket updates....(I hv no idea how can a old lady aged 78 wh's not interested in cricket n present day music can activate such services,)....So i asked him to deactivate all the services, (also asked him abt the request given earlier, to that he said he has no idea abt that, wat a dumb answer by the cust..care), he also said that he wud send a request to the company n assured that all services wud be deactivated soon. After that i dint meet my aunt 2 months as i was busy.but wud talk over the phone, every time when i cal she wud tel 40 rupees getting deducted in a month. So wen i met her two months later, i went to the cust.care centre in indiranagar....wen i told the representiv abt all the prob. i faced he took me to corner n gave me a cordless phone without speakin a word...When i spoke, he was a cust. care rep.. again i requested for deactivation...again he accepted my request n assured me that the service wud be activated in 24 hrs. I was waiting for the next month to chk whether the services are deactivated. to my surprise , another 40 rs was deducted again.... so i decided that enough is enough, n changed the service provider itself ....wat i want to know is that even if it was activated by accident, how can a top company like airtel cud not pay heed to a single customer, in spite of several requests....wil somebody take action against the so called top company called AIRTEL ,who's taking the customers for a ride?????? if they continue doing this, i'm sure they'l lose a lot of customers....
