[Resolved]  Airtel — GPRS charges - Unfair Balance deduction

Address:South Delhi, Delhi

I have airtel prepaid connection. Since last few weeks I am getting daily notification saying - "Last Call Charge 0.XX Call Duration 00:00:00". My current balance is getting reduced everyday automatically (no calls made).

On contacting Airtel Customer Care (121), executive told me that charges are related to my Internet Usage through GPRS. I do not have any other service activated (no Airtel live).

But I have not used Internet. On Feb 09, 2012, I called customer care at 8:45 AM, they said I used internet at 7:30 AM and 8 AM. But I was sleeping in my bed - how can I use internet while SLEEPING?

Please stop these continuous charges. It is reducing my balance. Thanks for support in this matter.

Regards,
Rohit Saini

Airtel/GPRS service — unjust deduction for GPRS service by AIRTEL

My complaint is against airtel, as they have been charging me for GPRS service which has not been activated by me. This same thing has been happening with me for the last three months, i got it deactivated but they still charged me saying that it takes one month to deactivate it and hence nothing can be done about the deducted amount.
This month too i did not activate the service, but they charged me 98/-, i called customer care at 121 but both times the executives put me on hold for 5 mins and ultimately disconnected my call, the staff is not only shameless in this regard but also rude.
I want airtel to correct this cheating behaviour immediately and not charge customers for any services which the customer has not activated.
I would like a follow up of this complaint and want justice done at the earliest.
