AIRTEL has began the cat and mouse game in kerala circle for a while. They are fooling customers by disconnecting calls while you try to cannect agent in 198. when you choose option to speak to agent they will revert the call to a feeded message which asks you to call 121 for balance enquiry and call drops. While you try from another number and complaint about this that they are totally unaware about it. This happens while you lodge a complaint in 198. Then for the next time you wont be connected so that you dont complaint about the network. So they can make an image no complaint to customers.
Good Idea !!
But its Shame on you !!!!!
