Airtel / Hello Tunes

Airtel Hello Tunes is very costly!
Complaint Rating:  93 % with 120 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.

i agree 2 sum of d fellow customers of dis brand as 2 wat dey say is airtel is costly towards hello tunes! Bt my problem lies wid d service number which they provide its just rubbish, when recently i opted to choose a particular hello tune the song wasn't to be heard and the amount was surely deducted always!! I jus hope that the authorities before publishing the number check whether song is being played or not and ITS MOSTLY THE YOUTH WHO USE THIS SERVICE AND THEREFORE AIRTEL SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW HARD ITS FOR THE STUDENTS TO OPT FOR THIS SERVICE. BUT STILL WE YOUTH OPT IY B'COS THE GEN-X WANTS TO STAND OUT FROM OTHERS! APART FROM THIS THE COMMUNICATIN PROVIDED BY AIRTEL IS JUS EXCELLENT TO ALL THE OTHER TELECOM BRANDS KEEP IT UP AIRTEL!!!!

For sure Airtel's Customer Care Service is pathetic.
Even if you will ask retailers about some scheme going on, they will instead ask you to check with the Customer Care as even they would choose to avoid calling such useless customer service!

My issue here is that I tried choosing a song from Airtel's database provided on its website. The instructions on the search page tells you to type SET CODE and to send it at 543211.
When you do that, you get a message saying that there is no song matching your request!!
If you call C.C. you'll get the response that there was technical problem from your side because you were supposed to type SET <CODE>.
Which has not been mentioned on that webpage!
So that means you are not supposed to rely on the contents of the webpage of World's No.1 service provider!
Fair enough to STEAL 3 rupees from 'n' number of people and fill pockets!

Before this incidence, even I trusted Airtel but not anymore...

See hello tunes charges for call 543211 is quit ok. But the chatge for song which is RS15 and Monthlly RS30 is quitlly on heigher side. You should provide the facility where customer can change the hello tune by using SMS code here what happen when we call to perticular number for hello tune then the computerised system will tell that

Hi,
I am a Airtel costumer trying to serch for my favourite hellotune through net but i think airtel only spends on advertisement and dosen't update or maintain a range of songs for hello tunes. I suggest you peoples should increase you database size for hellotunes so that we people would be satisfy.

Regards
Sumit
