Airtel sucks. The life out of you.

I got a Madras Airtel pre-paid connection in December’08, I got a lifetime,’LIFETIME’, validity with it and my services were cut abruptly last evening. Reason Airtel gives:

1. You didn’t use the number for 3 continuous months.

My argument: Why the heck is it a lifetime validity? I am assuming I can’t ask a third person in Madras to use my number while I am in Jodhpur. 3 months, so why didn’t you disconnect the service in March? Why do you do it after I get a recharge for 500 bucks?

2. The number was inactive

My response: Yeah, so I assume I will use the number when I am in the city and not when I go trekking to Timbuktu or elsewhere. And my services were very much active until the day before yesterday and my call was cut. In the midst of a peaceful conversation. The call was cut. Services were cut.

What is the locus standi?
Somewhere deep down in small prints, they had a 1/2 print, which says if you dont use the number in 3 months, I will cut your services. Fine, but why now?

Yes. I am repeating myself. I have been asking Airtel for the logic for disconnecting services and yet there has not been one single response. Nodal officers & Appellate authorities are enjoying a holiday for elections while am stuck answering calls on my Jodhpur number when I don’t have to spend a rupee every minute on my frickin’ INCOMING CALLS. Damn you, Airtel. You unresponsive piece of sim. GAA!!
