[Resolved]  Airtel Prepaid — Ringtone charges deducted even when I had not Registered for the service

Sir, I have not applied for "Ring Tone" service, but despite the fact the Ring Tone service has been activated on my number ([protected]), and charges of Rs. 100 (approx) have been deducted without my knowledge.

I would request to get it stopped immediately and whoever has made this illegal practice from the Mobile Service Provider's (AIRTEL) side, that person may be punished and amount may be refunded to us immediately by the company.

Thanks.

Ringtone will be activating on my mobile ([protected]) without my permission. It’s a totally illegal and charged has deducted my account balance. For your information we have received a commercial call from Airtel and offer to some ringtone buy we have not interfere into same call (that call has complete and disconnect ) but it is a atomically activate. I did contact to customer care executive but contacted person Mr. kartik (emp code not disclosed) has misguide me and did not provided right information. He has provided reference no, (684269) and Received reference no, (CHTWC[protected]) from SMS are different.
Pls suggest, so that we can complain to right place and return my deducted account balance.

Thaks & regards
