[Resolved]  Airtel / Prepaid Customer — unauthorised deduction from balance amount

On 03-09-08 at 10.30 pm my mobile showed balance amount as Rs.366.On 04-09-08 at 09.00 am it mentioned my balance amount as Rs.91 whereas no calls were made by me during said period.Since then I could succeed only once in connecting my self with Customer care executive who in response asked me to dial again after one hour.I made lot of efforts but custome care gets me disconnected in more than 100 efforts and thus no body is available for informing exact reason of deductions.These service providers are thus making money and there is none to safegaurd customer intrest in this country.
My mobile no. is [protected] and area code is 0532 thus I reside at Allahabad (U.P. East)

I not only fully agreed but come across many customers of Airtel/reliance daily who are being cheated by these service providers in this way and even inspite these companies executives accept the illeagel/unauthorised intentional deductions of amount from customer balance but same is never refunded to customer.In fact all are involved in organised racket and none is intrested in safegaurding consumer intrest.All is mockery.

Airtel — Unauthorised deduction of balance amount

Sir,

I am an airtel customer for the last five years with unchaged sim card no[protected]. My entire family uses only Airtel.

On 15.10.2008, unauthorised service charges amounting to Rs.243/- had been deducted from my balance amount for alloting free SMS and animation downloads. I am not an internet user through the Airtel No given above and I have not subscribed for any such thingh. I am amazed to know how the amount can be deducted from my balance.

Please arrange to check the details and refund the unauthorised deduction of Rs.243/- Otherwise, inspite of the good services prodided by the Airtel, I along with 15 other family memebers will be forced switch over some other mobile service provider.

Awaiting you earliest response by retun mail and positive action for making the refund. Otherwise, good bye, once for all.

M.R.Sankaran
I am a subscriber of AirTel Prepaid for the last 6 months.However I have not activated AirTel Live WAP/GPRS or any other such internet facility.Still yesterday(as of November 2, 2008)I was charged for Rs.50/- for "downloading games from Airtel WAP sites".What if this continues for many days?I shall be left with no option but to change my service operator.
Hope AirTel is listening...or it will be my final goodbye...

Airtel Prepaid — Unauthorised deduction of amount from balance

Unsolicitated services being activated by Airtel on Mobile No. [protected] and amount is deducted from the balance without permission. Airtel is looting poor and helpless cunsumers. The act is akin to theft. The custromer care has been contacted several times but no relief. The day light robbery continues. The amount decuted is yet to be credited. Further, the ring tone provided without any request is so dirty that the same has cuased a lot of embarsement in the social circle.

Airtel — Unauthorised Amount Deduction from airtel prepaid account

Hi think, now a days airtel is the worst service provider in india....They cheat the customer a lot in any ways.
I just got an sms from airtel...saying that Airtel Radio has been renewed on my airtel mobile number and I have have been charged Rs 30.
That too when i did not put any request to activate the this service.
even when i call to 121, while transfering the call to customer care executive it says that dialed number does not exist. So I am not able to speak to customer care executive....
And why they are giving the customer care service, there is no use of customer care service if people are not ready to listen the customer complaints....

What to do.....i dont know...

Goverment has to take some action against these people......
They are cheating the people and making money.......

Airtel - prepaid — unauthorised deduction

My Mobile Number is [protected] in the name of Alka Vashisht.

I would like to deactive the services of Jumaani_wap_sub subscription with immediate effect.

I have been charged Rs.30/- per month for the last three months (i.e. from April, 2010) for this service while I never subscribed for the same. The latest charges have been deducted on 12th June, 2010. I have been trying to contact your various offices on 198, 121 and once requested through 121 for deactivation of this service in the month of April, 2010 and received the confirmation message also. However, the same has not been stopped till date. Today we contacted your Airtel local Office at D.S. Enterprises, Acharya Niketen, Mayur Vihar, Phase I, Delhi, but they showed their inability to resolve the issue rather the Head of the Office was busy in some other business discussing the samples of watches with some salesman. He refused to disclose his name.

I would request you to deactivate the above services immediately and refund the amount charged to my mobile in the last 3 months.
yes air tel became a fraud company now a days

Airtel live services are getting activated on their own and amount deducted from prepaid account. This is despite my calls to customer care three times since 25 Mar 2011. Every time there has been a promise of refund and deactivation of Airtel live services but the same thing happens the next day and some new service gets activated.

I have sent NOPROMO and LIVEDEACT SMS to 511on request from customercare but the same is still not taken into affect.
