Airtel Prepaid
Illegally deducting money for service being denied!

I have a prepaid card with airtel, phone no 9892860353, and on 25th August I recieved a promotional email promoting Night talk plan wherein if u sms for a confirmation of the plan one could talk from night to morning for 10 paise per minute at a deduction of Re1 every day. After replying back asking for the service via sms, I recieved an SMS confirming the application and assurance of an activation of the same within 48 hours.

I did not receive a confirmation after 48hrs for the the activation and so I call Airtel prepaid customer service. They said that I was not eligible for the plan and that the sms is a general reply not an assurance of the activation of the plan. After that, on the 7th of September 07, my money started getting deducted everyday. My balance kept getting less by 2 RS. I contacted the prepaid customer service center on the 20th September 07 and spoke to a customer service executive named Manish. The call was made between 11:15 am and 11:30am. Manish kept saying sorry for the inconvenience but refused to help. He said that it was a system error and that although this error was from their end they could not refund the money because it was night plan was activated and nothing could be done. I asked for his full name and he curtly replied saying that it was against company policy to give it! I asked to speak to a supervisor, he kept me on hold and returned back saying that the supervisor was not available and that I would need to call back in 2hrs if I wanted to speak to one. He sounded disinterested and rude!!!

Beware!
