I decided to move out of Airtel to foil a money extortion plan



I have been using my Airtel number for more than a year. For some time, as 4G Dongle and after that as a mobile connection.

Sometime back, they tricked me to add another child number which I was unable to remove it for a long time. I called them and tried to remove it but they never did.


As soon as I received this message I again messaged them on Twitter


But they sat on it for days together and didn't remove it.


When the bill came amount Rs.1773.53 was as one-time charges. The Twitter handle responded saying that it belonged to my old account. How dumb of them to say that.



The Nodal officer said that over email that on 9th
November 2018, but some people on 10th November that it's not consolidated so I can't neither I can't Port out. What a contradictory.



I decided to disconnect because next month the same people will use the above argument to extort Rs.1773. I didn't ask to port out I am sure that they will not release the bid. 

The Nodal officer was forcing me not to disconnect with the argument that it's not consolidated contrary to above. She wasn't willing to accept that I won't charged the same amount next month.


I can run away without bill but that will not hurt them. I felt asking for disconnection citing the same reason. I had asked the Nodal officer to highlight the same, which will never happen. I am writing this to send out the message that they never accepted their mistake, for which I had to pay an unscrupulous amount.
