Airtel / Hello Tunes

Airtel Hello Tunes is very costly!
Complaint Rating:  93 % with 121 votes
I've been trying to download a hello tune, based on the information given in the website of Airtel, by calling a direct no. 678070692. I've tried it several times, it asks for options from the menu. If they've mentioned that this is a direct call no. Why is it so that they are charging people @6 INR per min and that too asking for questions and options from the main menu. Ideally a direct no. Shouldn't be asking so many questions and should directly start downloading the tunes. But this is not the case here and this according to me is fooling public. If they've mentioned in their site that this is the direct call no. then it shouldn't be asking for all the menu options, as listening to all the songs in the list is very costly (@6 Rs./min).

Thanks,
Manu.

Without my permission AirTel signed me up for Hello Tune service. They gave me a month free trail and without my knowledge deducted 30rs at the end of trail period. Despite of my repeated requests to deactivate Hello Tune service during the trail period, no action was taken. I was given different complaint numbers everytime and false promises of 24-48 hours.

Till date HelloTune service is active and they even block my calls to 121 if I call up more then 7 times in a day. I strongly suggest that companies like AirTel that steal money like this from customers should be heavily penalized.

Yes! I also agree for all the complaints. Customer service simply sucks. I have had very bad experience with Airtel customer service. I have lost my money for nothing with Airtel. I m very upset with the c.s. Behavior. They do not know how to talk with the customers. I simply asked the one question that what should i do for the deactivated my caller tune, but no one ans. me properly.

Beware!

First they lay hello tunes automatically and after they didn't tell
how to deactivate it. Who say them to activate hello tunes on our numbers. We forget to deactivate it and after 30 days they deduct money from our account.

Why there has always been problems,with downloading hellotune, using the codes reflected in the internet for selecting a specific song. There should be a proper, systematic way of handling complaints. If a small thing like downloading a hellotunes, would upset most of airtel customers, then i surely think its gonna affect the company's reputation. I believe i m not the only one with the same issue!

I don't know whats wrong with Air tel m using my connection from last 5 years the same number. Every time i faced hell lot of problems. Now u guys introduced new Ivr. First a fall its a bad idea, If v sneez, we caughs, if i take a long breath it says sorry in don't understand. After saying customer care, the ivr says "i do understand that u want to talk to our cust care executive, but lets try one more time" bldy vr not playing with ivr nor with the airtel, after going through all these paine, u want us to talk politely to the cust care people. V calling to solve our problems not to time pass. v genuine cust. The cust care guys they don't how to speak english out 100 hardly 10 people speaks. Even I am working with cust care and v deal with the foreigners. But...

I tried to register hellotunes thrice but it was not activated and i lost 90rs. Now every month without any hellotunes rs 30 is being deducted. Repeated calls to cust. care to deactivate the hellotunes which is not present have proved futile.

i am a pre-paid subscriber of Airtel. Few months ago one hello-tune was down loaded automatically on my phone and rs. 30 were deducted. i wasted my energy and time to talk to customer care exec (oh, what the heck). They didn't reverted it back, neither refunded the money. I had to spend few more rupees to cancel it by dialing some number.

BUT TEHY HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. I FEEL CHEATED BY THIS UNETHICAL PRACTICE OF THIS MEAN COMPANY. DON'T THEY HAVE ANY OTHER IDEA TO INCREASE THEIR PROFITS.

Airtel service is very poor these days and they are losing lot of customers. Customers are switching to Vodafone. Airtel is literally sucking money from prepaid customers and extra services they provide like hello tunes. The extras are very costly...

I even wrote to Airtel CEO, New Delhi. But nobody to bother. They will answer only when u file a law suit. If you have a genuine problem, please go ahead and file the case in consumer court. It is free and no need of a lawyer.

My number is 9890932648 I live in Amravati Maharashtra
Last Saturday I received an SMS stating "Thank you for choosing De De Thoda Pyar as your hello tune". Previously my hello tune was "Pratham Tula Vandito". I checked from another number whether my hello tune is changed. It actually changes. I never attemted to change my hello tune. It automatically changes. Before this I call a person whose hello tune was the same. But how can it automatically changes. I asked customer care executive. He agreed that I did not attempted to change the hello tune. And assured me that my hello tune will be changed in 24 hours. When I called on Monday. The CCE said since there used to be holiday on Saturday and Sunday the your request remains pending I will forward it. Then on Wednesday when I spoke to CCE he said somebody might have send SMS to change the hello tune. My 20 Rs was also deducted. I dont want this hello tune I want my hello tune back and also my Rs. 20 back. Airtel previously also played lots of jokes with me. Once in a call he was hearing me some hello tune songs. Then he asked me to press 1 to listen it again. I pressed 1 and suddenly the call disconnected. And I was charged some Rs. nearabout 15 to 30. Again once somebody gave me miss call. When I attempted to call back it says this number does not exist. Then after 2 misscall I suddently received the phone. He says there offer from Airtel My number is selected in a draw and I will be deducted Rs. 15 per month and my all outgoing calls will be Rs. 0.30 paise per minutes. It also proved a hoax.
