Thanks very much. I dialed the *902# and the option 2. The prompt was to select the item from the list: Na ehn!, come see list. I kukuma de stroll one by one while returning to "0" main menu to do my counter onslaught. The Airtel promised to free them after 30 mins. I believe them. Note: Always watch what pops up immediately you end your call, it may not actually be the tariff account alert while the option will be an "OK" to be initiated. SOLUTION: Press escape and the tarriff thing will pop up. 1 Like 1 Share |

If this was a serious country, criminal charges would have been brought against the management of this company but too bad its Nigeria. |

mutvy: they will eventually start again, watch it, I tried it and they waited for sometime and it became worse, the best solution is to stop recharging completely, get another sim and gradually phase them out, I used to think that mtn are thieves until I started using airtel and found that airtel are worse than armed robbers, YOU will just wake and you will see that "you have been subscribed" to whatever they chose. And the worst is that they have only automated machines as customer care |

Buy credit u can use immediately that minute and leave it empty.. Then try and have another sim from either glo or mtn with enough credit to call in case of emergency at time. That's how I operate mine. On mtn I have enough credit seating duck until I need it, but Airtel, if I want to subscribe 1month internet, I buy 1k and subscribe immediately, and my account is empty. They can't deduct nothing afterwards. |

When I got tired of the incessant deductions, I had to migrate to talkmore because they can't deduct the useless vas from my talkmore account while I leave my main account empty |

nerd51:The customer care code is 121. If you want to speak to the agent, just follow the 1-2-3-9 pattern and it will place you on a call with one of their agents. |

I have suffered much in the hands of Airtel that I'm even contemplating a change to another service provider that would have the courtesy of asking me first if I'm interested in any VAS before my money is deducted by force!!! |
