Resolved Airtel — don't trust airtel!

I have just bought a new prepaid Airtel chip (No. 99031-7607X). I wanted to know the GPRS settings. First of all navigating through the IVR of Airtel is painful because you have to wait till the voice stops parroting. Then, if by chance you enter a number (option) twice, you get disconnected. When you do choose, for example, English Language, you don't get an option to connect to Customer Care. Only after I learned that you must dial the secret number "9" at the secret point in the IVR do you get connected to Customer Care.

The Customer Care really don't care about the customer. Perfect parrot in practiced English dictions, a little off-beat question confuses them thoroughly. They put you on hold and ask their supervisor. In my case, I was told to dial 7070 for technical assistance. I asked whether the number was toll-free and "yes" came the reply.

I called 7070. They had no idea regarding GPRS settings (AND THEY CALL THEMSELVES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE?) and asked weird and vague questions and finally said they had no idea regarding my question. Ah well! I always knew they were dumb. After hanging up, I was shocked to see my balance depleted for Rs 26.xx for a less than 10 min call.

Moral of the story: Don't trust Airtel. Don't buy Airtel. If you can't afford Hutch, go without a phone. Hire a messenger to send your messages. Above all, don't call customer care and waste your time. Buy some other card. Even an out-of-state on roam SIM.

I placed a request to cancel my broadband connection on 06/10 /2011 and airtel rep informed me it will take the 7 days to terminate my service and also i will be billed until it is not terminated. I called then after 7 days it was still active and after speaking with their supervisor a new request was made to cancel the service as on 06/21/2011 and supervisor informed me no more billing will happen since it was their delay. Finally the cancelled the service on 07/04/2011 and was sent a bill from 06/10/2011 till 07/04/2011. Called several times but they haven't yet resolved the issue and just keep on saying that is was a delay from their end and not my fault sill no resolution in my favour... It seems like they just need money for the service that was never provided

Billing discrepancy of [protected]
Dear Sir/Madam

It is very unfortunate that a reputed company like airtel needs to flinch money from it’s loyal customers to support it’s 3G services.
I have been a user of mobile internet for quiet some time now and my monthly data consumption averaged around 100 -150 MB. So when I was offered airtel 3G services with a monthly data of 250 MB I was only too willing to accept it and try the so called new facility by airtel. Inspite of facing Deterioration in connectivity immediately on switching to 3G in both Voice as well as data related aspect, I chose to remain loyal with airtel and understood that a new technology requires some time to adjust itself. But being monetarily penalized for the same is something I did not expect from a company like airtel. Today I regret my decision to stick with airtel and feel I should have switched long time back. Kindly note the following facts about my usage
1. Monthly usage: 100 -150 MB
2. Switched to Increased to 3G in April. Billing ok for first month. More than 500 MB usage in 10 days (Between 25th April to 5th May ) after a month of switching to 3G (Obviously the 3G accounting system in airtel is flawed and overcharging the customers)
3. Faced huge connectivity problem with voice as well as data in the 3G mode and complained several time to customer care regarding the same (I can’t understand how can I download when I am not connected)
4. Did not download any heavy file during 10 days of 3G connectivity (500 MB is equivalent to Movie, obviously I did not download anything that heavy. The 3G technology may have being devised in a way to over count the usage).
5. Informed of heavy usage on 5th May, understood the flaw in 3G system of airtel, immediately switched to older plan.
6. I have a credit limit of Rs 2000 Only, why was I informed of my over usage till the billing reached Rs 6000 ???. Obviously Airtel wants it’s loyal customer to pay for it’s flawed 3G system.
In summary Paying INR 5000 for 10 day internet connectivity is ridiculous and unfortunately that’s what airtel demands from me !!!
In consideration of the fact that I was not informed of my over usage immediately on exceeding my usage quota of 250 MB while on 3G or on exceeding my credit limit of Rs 2000, Which would have enabled me to stop the flawed 3G services on my mobile and switch to normal internet (an action taken by me immediately on being informed about my over usage on 6th May). I demand that the data usage charges on my current bill be reversed.

Dear, This is with regard to the automatic activation of news and other kind of subscriptions in my prepaid account. I never dial or message for news subscriptions but suddenly I get a message that "you have been activated with news subscription and a particular amount is deducted". This has happened many times even after deactivating the service from customer care. Customer care people are reluctant to take complaint for this issue and I have to undergo this type of situation many times. This is like purposely making a person take a subscription and taking money for that, even though the person has no intention to make any subscriptions. This may be a flaw and deduct money from Airtel users account (since many people are ignorant about the small charges and hence the company makes lot of money for free).

I advice all the airtel users to be alert and watchful from these kind of deductions. Its about ethics and following a healthy business processes to make profit.

I request airtel to stop these kinds of discrepancies and follow the genuine path of growth.

and at last if possible, please stop making automatic subscriptions to my prepaid account.

regards,
saurav

I applied for a Airtel Landline connection at my Pashan Residence on 31st July 2010 and subsequently received an SMS on 4th Aug stating that my Reference no was 8474516 and that they would get back to me in 48 hours to talk about my connection. Mr Akashdeep, the rep who met me, told me that I would also get the number of my choice. I had informed them that I stay in Pune only on weekends and would want the connection installed before the 16th, preferably by the 15th. I received no help from them with respect to my connection post that. I have called Akashdeep on his phone [protected], Nishant [protected] & the Territory head Airtel on [protected] but have received no definate answer. Now they dont even pick up phone calls and dont respond to messages. They have informed me on occasions that the system had crashed and they had to re-enter my form, for which I should have got another Reference no which I have not got. I have had to buy a TATA Photon+ connection because of this which has cost me another Rs. 3000. They are not even returning my money (Rs 250) which I paid them when I filled up the form.

I want them to reimburse me the 3k which I have spent because of non performance of their promise (I am sure that they have an SOP with respect to the maximum number of days to be taken for installation of a new connection). I want a full explaination in writing from Airtel and a written apology from all 3 (Akashdeep, Nishant & the Territory Head) explaining why they have not taken my calls and why they dint call back even after knowing that I have been calling them for so many days.

Airtel has the worst service ever

They don't activate number in time, and costumer care don't provide info about lost no. and they don't even provide access to my own account. I lost my number and they wouldn't provie it even if they know it. POLICY POLICY, what kind of policy do they follow to protect their profit ?

They are just a joker behind the phone.

Ready to hang up as soon as they can... I am unsatsfied with Airtel, now miving to AIRCEL...

I was prepaid user of airtel. I got a call from airtel regarding 75 rental plan scheme saying that my airtel to airtel charges will be 15 paisa, any other mobile 50 paisa and STD rates will be 1 rs and rental will be 75. But after activation these guys gave me totally different plan of 150 rental airtel to airtel 1 rs other mobile 2 rs and STD rates will be 2.4 rs.

But when i did call to dealer she said that we didn't gave any commitment u can do what ever u want. So finally i have decided to go to Consumer Court.

The Person who gave me this plan is Suhana Shekh her no is [protected] her office is near lower parel mumbai. These guys really suckssssssssssss.

Airtel had a promotional offer on Indian Independence Day (15th of August) to send a sari to loved ones at home. In-spite of various complaints of follow-up, they continuously just say that it has been sent and they are looking into it and nothing else. I think they duped us in subscribing to their services. Their call center employees are not able to provide any details either and just say that wait further. Their online complaint system is faulty and doesn't convey the proper message. Even on mails, the replies are vague. I never expected such issues from the company that claims to be #1 Indian telecom company.

I think airtel is most cheater mobile service company in the world. The Customer Care officers are also the same category. I made a complain for not connecting the gprs connection for last 7days, but they did not make any solution for this. I recharge 498.00 for gprs on17/06/07. So, all of those who are think to take the airtel gprs connection think once again. My base phone no ([protected]). This is my eight(8) complain.

I have taken a broadband connection of Airtel-India. Inspite of the payment of my bill my services have been barred and there is no support from the customer care. They behave very rudely and keep forwarding the phone from one person to other. Everytime I call they tell me that the service will be activated in one hr. more than 24hrs have past but still they keep giving the same response. From last 24hrs I've spoken to Mamata, Simi, Chadrashekhar, Charanjeet, Sreeram& Vaibhav but all they do is fwd the call from one person to other and give me diff complaints no. I requested to put me through the Team Leader but they refused and kept me on hold for 20 mins without anybody answering my call.

There should be a very strict action taken against all these guys and sew them.

I called him after three days and asked him about the status of the connection he said there was some problem with the port it will be done in a day or two. After 1o days i am called him 'n' number of times he is not attending my call. Is this is the way the company will treat the customers, before getting the connection itself service is like this if any problem after getting the connection whom to contact for any assistance. Dont say call 121 they will assist them. I don't believe that what ever info i am getting from 121 it is not matching with the sales persons. I don't know whom to believe. Very poor service from the representatives it is spoiling the companies name.

Just bought a pre-paid Airtel connection a couple of weeks back. 3 days back, i got an SMS which said that i had subscribed to their "Hello Tunes" service and would be charged 30 bucks a month. Interestingly, i never asked for any such service. As if this was not enough, another SMS was sent which said that they will charge me 15 bucks for having downloaded a callback tune!!! Surprise!!!

I thought I'll check their website. Well... I wrote to the email id mentioned and got an automated reply that they'll get back in 24 hours. It's been more than 7 days and haven't heard from them. The helpdesk number that they mention on their website (even now) is not even a valid number!!!

I decided to visit their service center and guess what, i found that i would have to wait for at least 2 hours because it was crowded with people shouting out their complaints.

I checked with some of the people i know and guess this is something that common with Airtel. In US this would have been enough to put their top management in a law suit... but i guess in India... everything goes...

All i can say is you better watch out before you plan to take an Airtel connection.

It is absolutely correct...

They are gangsters and gang-thieves only into the mask of mobile service provider...

And what the govt officers are doing i don't know yet!!!

Re: Bharti Airtel Limited

At the time of taking this no your executive told me that this plan having 1 Rs STD and I have to pay first 100 minutes @ 50 paisa at any no. either Hutch, Bsnl or Airtel and rental would we 199 Rs per month. But now when I got my bill which is only 12 days bill you charges Rs 282 as monthly rental and Rs 2 per minute STD. If this kind of services you are giving to your corporate customer then I think none of us would be satisfied with your services and one thing more your executive gave me this no which was used before due to this I got no of calls on daily basis. So it’s my humble request to resolve these issues ASAP.

It is pathetic to say the least. Airtel is harassing its customers for their fault. I am facing the same. I had submitted all documents at the time of porting. They took 1 month to port. Finally after that porting was successful. But 1 month after that they barred all outgoing calls. On probing further one guy told that there is a mistake in the form but we will not tell you what is the mistake. His name is Sharath. On insisting that until you dont tell me what is wrong in the application, I wont resubmit the documents, That ba****d told that I can go to corporate head office of Airtel located on Bannerghatta Road, Divyashree towers where I can see the scanned copy of the application. On reaching there I came to know that it was false information given by that ba****d. Here another ### spoke to me and convinced that he will get the outgoing activated by end of day (28th May 2011). I took his mobile number and name. His name is Sanath. Mobile number is [protected]. Evening I called him some 10+ times. I also sent him a message. No response from him. Highly unprofessional a**. Today (30th May 2011), the outgoing is still barred and when I called him from my office landline number, he picked the phone and told that he is looking into my application only and told will call back. Till now there is no sign of him calling.
