After checking my AT&T cell phone bill online in October 2009 I noticed an unusual "Non-Communication" charge on my bill from a company I have never heard of named AirG. I am on a family plan and usually just contribute a lump sum towards the bill each month. However I happened to check during this month and noticed a charge of $9.98 from AirG.

I have no idea who this company is. I looked through past records and noticed that I have been receiving charges from this company since February 2009 with charges adding up to about $10 each month.

Excuse me for not being more diligent and checking my portion of the cell phone bill each month however, I have been with AT&T for 6 years and never thought that I would have to check to make sure unauthorized charges were added to my bill!

I never ever signed up for any service asking to be charged from AirG. I have no idea what AirG is.

I called the customer service number listed on the bill. Spoke with a lady who was not helpful. She said she could not explain how the charges were added but that I "probably" signed up for a service authorizing the charge. I explained to her that I would never add additional subscription charges. I asked for a refund and she explained that she couldn't. I asked for her manager and the manager happened to be unavailable. After much frustration I asked to be removed from the subscription service. The customer service representative said I was removed.

However I checked my bill again in December, and the charges are still there! I called AT&T and asked that they remove me from this AirG service. The customer service representative said they canceled my subscription however said they could not credit me all the money that was unauthorized on my bill since February which has added up to approximately $90!

AirG is not an honest company. It somehow adds charges to bills and lies when it says it will remove them. I never allow anyone else to touch my phone so I know that this service was not authorized by anyone.

If you see any charges from them, make sure to address it with your home company immediately.

I called AirG on Saturday December 26th to explain my problem again because I am still receiving charges from this company.

I spoke with Lloyd who explained to me that he saw that I called on September 29th to cancel services. However I explained I am still received charges for October and November. Unfortunately something was wrong with their phones and I was not able to hear them to continue our conversation (I called from 2 different cell phones with two different services...AirG agreed it was their connection that caused a faulty reception). I agreed to call back on Monday December 28th.

I called back to speak with Lloyd again on Monday December 28th.. He was in a meeting and told me to call back in an hour. I called back in an hour and was transferred to Edgar. Edgar informed me that he was the highest supervisor at the time and that he could not see past 45 days and told me that I must have re-subscribed to the services. He also informed me that I could not receive a re-imbursement. Edgar proceeded to hang up on me while I was talking.

Note: Why would I re-subscribe to a company I am trying to seek a re-imbursement from.

When I called back he was surprisingly unavailable. I was informed that his supervisors were unavailable.

This company is dishonest, scammers and are a fraud. More action will be taken.

Dear Mycah, Thank you for your feedback, Mycah.   Firstly, we are really disappointed that you
are dissatisfied and want to help you resolve this ASAP. Our services are initiated and transacted on the mobile
internet, and are purely an opt-in service. That means the only way a customer
is billed is if they click through our terms and conditions for the service
which are clearly and conspicuously displayed before our customers access our
service.  To help you resolve this issue I would recommend the
following: . It is very important to discuss these charges with
other family members or friends who may have access to the same phone.   Increasingly, we find that customer billing
inquiries stem from the person paying the bill not being aware of the usage
generated by a friend or family member with access to the same phone.  2. Please try contacting us again with more than just
your mobile number. Some times the billing for our services is done by the
mobile phone companies, which means we don't ever see the customers phone
number. So simply calling in with a phone number is difficult to track and
refund. Any information you can provide such as a username, or profile account
can greatly expedite our investigation. 3. Finally, please contact us directly at support@airg.com and we will verify if your
phone has been unsubscribed from the service and we can investigate if and why
you are still seeing charges. Thank you once again for your feedback, Mycah. We are
sorry to hear you have had a bad experience, we will work to resolve this for
you.
