[Resolved]  Airtel Telecommunications — Unnecessary activation of Services

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi,
I receive calls regarding some offers on my Airtel mobile such as Mobile TV, Caller tunes, etc.
I received a similar call last Friday from Airtel regarding the Airtel Mobile TV. I refused to have the subcription activated & informed that i have received a call earlier and i am not interested but the guys activated the offer on Saturday and i was charged Rs. 40/- for the same.
This is not the first time, i had similar experience earlier when Airtel activate stupid offers like Mobile TV, Friends Chat, active on Unwanted links, etc
When i call up the customer care, they just say that i had subscribed for the offer which i never do nor anybody else use my mobile to do such things as i always keep it locked with a security code.
I now think that Airtel has just found a new way of charging unwanted expense.
I would prefer to switch to any other number soon if this is not stopped immediately.

AIRTEL PRE-PAID SERVICES — FAULTY PREPAID SERVICES

Respected Sir
I am a Law Student in ILS Law College Pune. My No. is [protected]. I have a Airtel Mobile with prepaid services. Before 20-30 days i have recharged my prepaid account with Rs.265/- voucher. the dealer of that voucher gave guarantee/agreed that you will get total amount out of 265 to 265 amount. (top-up) but i faced so many difficulties i.e- In Stead Of 265, they have given me only Rs.235 amount. Later on i have gone to their office situated @ Tilak Road, Pune & told my Complaint to them but they gave me suggestion that come tomorrow, because their server was not charge due to low electricity so they their computer couldn't display my account. later on i approached them according to them. but they gave the same answer & told me that your account was in minus situation so they deduct from my account Rs.60/- out of 265 (recharge Voucher), How can i have minus account?, How can they Deduct from my mobile's account & my money? I have Prepaid Account. They have disconnect their Services or outgoing calls after ending the Prepaid balance, so they have no right to deduction. I have not purchased from them any extra service. After that they gave me suggestion that approach to their call center ( Consumer Care Executive). They have also refused me to tell me about same not given me satisfactory Answer. After 2-3 days again i approach to them & told them that Please give me your head office's fax no. & phone no. so i can send my complaint to them through fax but they refused to give me those details & also told me that they have not give to anyone these fax no.s & phone no.s of their head offices in Pune which is situated (Bharati Airtel Limited) @ PMT Bhavan, Swargate, Pune. Their Consumer Care Executives Also Refused to give me these details . I also told them I want to file a complaint in "Pune District Consumer Forum" in this regard, so i want these fax no.s.

I have another problem regarding "Unnecessary messages & calls through AirTel's Network." I am in very distress because of their these kinds of services. Their Consumer Care Executives also not avail whenever i want to call them for difficulties. I am Facing these kinds disturbances. Please give me relief from this. Please take cognizance of my Case. I will file Public Interest Litigation to challenge.

Airtel Telecommunications — fault in services

I took airtel prepaid connection on 15 Jan 2009 from mobile store(Bagadia Bhawan,C-Scheme,Jaipur), that time i submitted my ID proof as the connection was in my name, everything was going smoothly but few days back i received a verification call from airtel and they asked me my details when i answered them they said this number does not belongs to me. On 24th Aril 2010 my phone was deactivated by airtel without any prior information.After taking services of customer care they started their services.On 5th may they again send me a msg to deactivate my number and on 6th may my incoming and outgoing services were taken back by them.I have talked about the matter to staff of Airtel office in Ganpati Plaza and to the Distributer in mobile store, they are not responding to my problem and are not ready to solve my problem except suggesting me to change my number. Hence I need your interfernce in this matter and help me to find out where my ID is being used.
the telecommunication companies must be bound to keep a record of the numbers and addresses on which numbers are distributed and should have any clause for distributors so that they may not create such problems. government should take necessory action. this is the reason why crime rates are being increased and the matter should be taken seriously.
