Dont Fall For This New Cheap "Airtel" Scam by teewhydope(m): 12:51pm On Aug 24, 2016
received this god forsaken msg yesterday thinking airtel is finally making sense, later went to go and recharge 1k and to my amazement the 1k vanished tho i was given 6k bonus.

later called the customer care and what the dumb guy had to say about the new development was that the actual money was converted to the bonus unlike before where your 1k will still be intact and u will receive useless free airtel credit plus free 1gb data


finally dumping airtel for good undecided

like i wrote in the post, using *555# before gives free data + airtime so i thought theyve improved the offer

U abusing airtel...I av no issues wth dat, but why abuse a customer care associate who was doing his job....#informing u abt d change in plan. D guy gave u d right information, u ar abusing him, had it been he told u he had no information at d moment, u go stl abuse him. Pple just come to nl and start writing trash, #no offense....ehen, d cc guy does not kno anything, he is dis, he is dat. In a telecommunication company, they act based on official mail, even if as a cc associate, i kno a product or service is trending on social media, i must not communicate it to u unless i receive an official mail telling me to. its nt always d cc associates fault... he is just acting based on instructions, so as nt to end up been jobless at d long run. we al know airtel is always sugar coating their offers, u received an sms about change in service, u cld av easily called to kno if there was any T&C attached. all it would av cost u is, ur time and phone battery. Quit nagging please #no offense

Oga, what he said is the truth.. Since you cant write it here, is he a ghost to know how he acted dumb to you? Insulting the customer care is really uncalled for...

You wanna go there??
Okay...

insult
verb
1. speak to or treat with disrespect or scornful abuse.
noun
1. a disrespectful or scornfully abusive remark or act.
2. an event which causes damage to a tissue or organ.

Taking the first noun, I believe you now understand that calling him dumb is an insult.. If you dont understand by now, I leave you to your delusion....

You called him a dumb guy outrightly.

There's a difference between these sentences;

1. He is a deaf person.

2. I talked to him, he acted deaf.

So you're the one who needs the textbook, Brighter grammar in English Language. embarassed

I've loaded and lost 3GB twice in 8days just by patronizing Airtel ng, how can one load and activate 3GB, in four days it get exhausted just by running my emails, WhatsApp, some websites and nairaland, loaded another and same occurs?
Airtel is a fraudulent network provider with poor customer care service personnel. its unfortunate that Glo Ng is a very slow and unreliable network.
