Airtel Prepaid — provided services not asked for | |
I have taken prepaid airtel mobile connection with number: [protected] at Bangalore. On 24-06-09, I received an SMS from airtel saying "Airtel Radio will be renewed in 3 days and you will be charged 30 Rs for 30 days. To unsubscribe call[protected]toll free). In the first place I did not ask for this service, and when I dial to to unsubscribe I get a message that this number is incorrect. After 3 days 30 Rs. are deducted from my account. I dialed[protected] and even this number does not exist. I felt cheated and could not believe that a reputed company like Bharti airtel is doing this to its customers. In a similar way I am not able to unsubscribe from Hello Tunes, which they are forcibly renewing by giving wrong or part-phone numbers since last month or so and deducting money from my account. Was this information helpful? | |

Airtel Prepaid Mobile Connection — CHARGING FOR SERVICES NOT ASKED FOR
DEAR SIR,1. THE COMPANY HAS BEEN CHARGING FOR SOME SERVICE CALLED GAMES CLUB WHICH I NEVER SUBSCRIBED FOR.
2. FUTHER TO THIS WHEN I CALLED UP THE CUSTOMER CARE , THEY ARE VERY RUDE AND SAY THAT 'YOU MUST HAVE SUBSCRIBED FOR THE SAME.
3. MEANWHILE THEY CHARGE FOR THE SAME PRODUCT AGAIN AND AGAIN ...IE; THE ONE WHICH I NEVER SUBSCRIBED.
4. THEY HAVE CHARGED ME Rs 10/- FOUR TIMES WITHOUT ME SUBSCRIBING TO THEIR SERVICE AND THAT TOO AFTER MY LODGING THE COMPLAINT WITH THEIR CUSTOMER CARE.
5. THE COMPANY IS AWARE THAT NO ONE WILL COMPLAINT FOR A SMALL SUM SUCH AS Rs 10/-, BUT HERE THEY MUST BE DUPING 100s OF CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS.
6. THIS ACT MAKE THE CUSTOMER FEEL LIKE A FOOL....... CAN SOMETHING BE DONE.!!
Airtel prepaid mobile — Charging for services never asked for
Regarding: Airtel Prepaid Mobile No : [protected]1. I became a subscriber in end of February 2010. This connection I had taken largely for use on Twitter.
2. My first charge was around Rs 200. I did tweet several times, but otherwise kept the phone turned off most of the time. My last two charges were for Rs 200 (on[protected] and Rs[protected] and they finished rather quickly without my having done much tweeting.
3. On[protected], when I turned the phone on after a long time, I received an SMS informing to the effect that "some Friendship Chat service has been renewed @ Rs 30 per month and that my balance was Rs 264. I was shocked.
4. I had never asked for any services. When I contacted customer service, I found out that I was being charged for two or three services -- don't know for how long -- perhaps for nearly the entire duration that I have had the phone.
5. I called 198 (Airtel) and wanted to speak to some executive; twice after punching numbers as I had been instructed, to be connected to an executive, I got the message that I should check the number I had dialled and call again -- and both these calls were charged for!
6. On[protected], I was able to connect to an executive and complain about what had happened; he transferred me to some senior who had me repeat the whole thing. I also asked him to stop these unasked for services immediately and reverse all the charges they had deducted for the same, within twenty four hours.
7. The time limit I gave Airtel has passed and charges levied (for services not asked for) have not been reversed, nor any message received on action they proposed to take. That is why this step.

Airtel Prepaid — service not provided
I purchased a prepaid SIM no.[protected]mobile no.[protected]). At the time of purchase I had submitted all requisite documents including a copy of my driving licence. However, service on this mobile no. was suddenly stopped without any information/notice.This shows callousness on the part of airtel staff besides being deficiency in service. The service should be resumed or else my balance amount be refunded.
