[Resolved]  Airtel Prepaid — Automatic Balance deduction/Activation of Hello tunes

dear sir,

I recharged my prepaid no. [protected] with Rs.100 and my balance at that time was Rs.87.35 .Then i switched it off.the next day when i swiched it on my balance was just Rs. 16.36.I lodged a complaint finally after much hassle as the servers of Airtel were down when i called in the morning. I had to again call in the evening as was instructed by the rude customer care executive.He took my complaint and next day i got my balance back after much harassment of making repeated calls.
Bt as soon as i kept my phone down i got 2 messages on 21st Feb, 23:50hrs..one after another informing me about the activation of hello tunes which i never activated on my own.the msgs mentioned that i have been charged rs.30 rental n rs.15 for the song.I was shocked.soonafter my balance was deducted of Rs.45 which i have still not got back. i tried to call customer care several times but these airtel people have deactivated my services of talking 2 the customer care executive also so m not able to explain my problem.This evening i borrowed the cell of my friend to lodge my complaint but another super rude executive told me that the servers are again down and i shud cal after 8 hrs again.

This is what i m facing n have still not got the balance back of Rs.45 by the automatic activation of hello tune.

I m being harrased again and again n this is the 2nd time that m facing a problem in 24 hrs...without a solution

please do the needful at the earliest. Thanks.

Airtel prepaid mobile — hello tunes activated automatically

I am using an Airtel prepaid mobile. On my phone i never activated hello tunes. One day i got a message that your hello tunes have been activated and the charges were deducted from my account. i complaint this to airtel customer care but they didnt take any action. this has happened to me twice. I think airtel is trying to make money by unfair means. This is just like stealing your money.
Hello Sir/Madam,
This is regarding unwanted services and deducted money dated on 15.11.2008, please solve our problem as soon as possible,
With thanking you,

Airtel Prepaid — Debiting balance by activating hello tunes automatically.

On 23 Oct 10 airtel activated hello tunes in my mob No [protected] (Prepaid). Debited the balance from my A/C. After complain they did nothing. Again on 08 Dec 10 they debited Rs 45/- for hello tunes, which is not activated by me. On 08 Dec 10 when a call received it came to know that it is an airtel call ,then I cut the cnnection. I came to know about the debit from sms and complained in c care.No action taken due to nonavailibility of information by c care supervisor. When contacted on 10 dec 10 they refused to refund the amount. I tried to contact Mr Bikrant pandey on [protected] but couldn't. Pls do needful for refund and unnecessary calls/ cgarges/distrubances.
Same problem happen with my airtel prepaid, automatically activated and deducted the balance.
Along with above problem 1 more thing happen today, earlier i had 10 rs in balance and recarched with 50 Rs (43.33) total balance became: 53.33 then i called on Airtel std number for 58 seconds and diducted .50 paisa, now balance appears as 32.83 (Deducted 20 rs automatically)
I don't know what kind of service they are providing.
My mobile number is [protected]
Yup same thing happened to me yesterday. This is totally annoying. I am not sure how can they activate these services without the customer knowledge. These are one of the crap ways of doing business.interesting even the customer care guys also dont have a proper reason or so.
