[Resolved]  Airtel — Misleading customers on Airtel money services

Address:Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

Hello all,

This is regarding Airtel money.

Airtel is trying to promote their service 'Airtel money' by misguiding the customers.

If we look at their website, they say we would get more value for certain amount. For example if we recharge with Rs 100/-, we would get Rs 110/- value of talk time. Under the promotions they have link (text) saying 'Terms & Conditions'. They actually does not display the terms over there. We need to click to see the terms & conditions. And this section is saying above mentioned are valid only till 31st of May. When it was expired a month back what is the point of keeping the offers in the website. Today is 5th of July and they are still displaying the same saying exciting offers. If they are promoting then why they don't display the terms & conditions along with the text as well. Why the user need to click the link to know the terms? It is just to misguide the customers to use their service 'airtel money'.

AirTel — Misleading the Customers

I have purchase a Airtel SIM, in DEC. At that time Dealer told me that this SIM will have 30 Paisa Local and 50 Paisa STD throughout.You don't have to recharge it seperately.
After 4 months that is now again my rates have been increase and it is now it is 1Rupee Local and 1.50 STD. When i am talking to the executive. they are tell that was a promotion offer which is no longer there.

My concern is if it a promotional offer why they have not written the same on the SIM docs.
Why they unnecessarily fool customers at the time of purchase by tell its life time.. it lifetime.. and after certain period they said you don't have validity for this offer.. you need to recharge with so and so offer and so and so money..

They just cheat people by these fake things.
Please help in stop the same

AirTel — misleading

Hi I'm Sainath Chowhan Airtel postpaid Customer ([protected]) since 2006 and I expect the special privilege should be given to the customers.
1.Yesterday (26.09.2010) I have called to 121 regarding billing address correction after a long time I called to customer care & I came to know that subscriber will be charged 50ps for every 3 minutes for interacting with the customer care executive.
2.I asked her why should I pay for it,the service provider has to bear the expenses & it is getting debited to the subscribers of Airtel.
3.she said sir you ca give a complaint by dialing 198.
4.I have dialed 198 & the CCA said i will not take it as a feedback not complaint,I asked then whom should I give the complaint,He said sir u can mail it to [protected]@airtelindia.com.
5.today morning I got a call from Airtel saying that your request for change of address is done and it will be corrected from your next bill & I asked her (CCA) I had a talk yesterday regarding the complaint to whom should I speak to then she said sir u can dial 198 for any kind of complaints.
So the CCA is misguiding the customer.

Last but not the least Why the Subscriber should pay Rs.50ps for every 3minutes of interaction with the CCA. It is not fair.
Very Disappointed
My name is Durga Pada Pan. I am really very disappointed about the airtel services as they deducted Rs.99. from my mobile without any reason. When I asked the them they are saying that I used Airtel Live. But I didn't did that.Iam holding the mobile no. [protected]
