Ok, yeah the world has moved on to Reliance and their ultra cool cheap CDMA services (with faulty billing if I may add). But I am unfortunately still stuck on Airtel Prepaid connection. And most of my purchases of the recharge coupons depend upon the short time based schemes when they offer full calling value on the bought recharge coupons. But last week they kind of tricked me into losing around 150 bucks worth of calling value!
All this month I had been getting this short message on the mobile that all the second recharges in the month of July will be giving full calling value, provided both the charges were of above 350 bucks! Well good enough. It so happened that I had to get my card recharged fro the second time in the month last week (30th July) and I was pretty happy that I will get the full calling value on my second recharge (both were of 1080 bucks). But well, it came out as a shocker as my card was only recharged by 850 bucks as against expected 1000 bucks. The dealer had no idea what the issue was, so I had to try the next best thing… the Airtel customer support. The phone number of which was inaccessible for full 24 hours that day! When i was finally able to connect through, I get this answer. The scheme was pulled back on the 27th so I was not eligible for the benefits.
Well, I never get messages which indeed matters to me in the end. Because Airtel decided to pull back the scheme by 3 days, I was fooled into believing that I will be able to get benefited from it.
Hmm… So it is just 180 bucks. But well the point is all about the inconsistencies! If they retract a scheme, they should as and well make sure everyone concerned should get to know about it!
