Airtel is injecting ads in their calls, When I call I get a 15sec ad.

Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

Try calling +91 92666 34551 he is triple play agent and when I called him I got this ad. This is only number I can give but they are doing it mostly on numbers of there providers.

Typical airtel. You gotta send an email to Nodal dept, threatening to port if the ads aren't disabled. I did and I no longer get any ads. You can find the relevant details for your circle here : Airtel.IN

They have done this in the past when your data pack is about to expire. The support rep said it would stop once the data pack expired - which it did, but was very annoying till then.
