BEWARE OF AIRTEL , THEY CHEAT
I had a very nasty experience with Airtel. I had got myself a windows mobile phone
DOPOD with push mail facility. Inorder to use this phone to the fullest extent I got myself an
Airtel connection with GPRS EDGE in Chennai. The sales execs were sweet i.e. till they signed me on.
I paid my deposit and activation fee and with great difficulty and very little help from Airtel got
my EDGE / GPRS working. I had signed on for the zero rental Rs 1 /100 kb plan.
I advice you all
strongly to never do that. This is a seious death trap. I got a bill for about 250 MB which was
shocking. Since I used the GPRS only for the mail and occassional browsing on the hand held.
My hand held windows mobile only allows 2 kb of mails and only rarely maybe on 3 occassions in the
month did I down load the full mail / attachments not exceeding 2 MB. I must have gotten a lakh of
emails or more to justify the bill.
Also the browsing I did on my hand held amounted only to about 30 -40 MB max. There was no way under
the sun that I could have ended up with 250 MB. Most of the occassion the edge network just hangs
without giving you the webpage but charging you for it. The zero rental Rs 1/100 kb plan is there
just to cheat.
When I refused to pay and saught explanations They simply refused to give any and started to
harrass the ladies in my house by making thugs shout obscenely. I am prepared to pay up but only the right
ful bill and I will not be intimidated.
Please forward this to as many people as possible
Airtel cheats beware. Take their services at your own risk.
