My below mail to airtel zonal officer explains all...
PS: Interestingly 'my post in complaints board' has been removed by some means so posting it again.
Hi Sir,
sub: Sexual abuse by a Airtel telecaller.
note: This mail is meant for the Chennai zonal officer because the telecaller spoke(abused) in tamil.
Here is the complaint i posted in a forum.
Please be patient in reading this and advise your telecallers be polite to customers, especially when they call NON CUSTOMERS by mistake.
They are wrongly advised to collect the money by any means i guess.
This wrong advise by some low level officers will spoil the entire organisation's reputation.
I too would like the Airtel to grow like a giant to have a balance with other competitors.. but now the arrogance showed by your telecaller gave me a bad image of Airtel.
Here is the complaint to you.
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/airtel-c27489.html
I got a call from a telecaller on 27/sep/2007
She was asking me about the payment of bill for some airtel number(which is not mine)
I told her that i don't know anything about that number.
She started scolding like hell. I used at most abusive language like
"You can earn money with going to man and pay bill"
"You can sell your baby to pay the bill"
etc
This is a horrible call i got.
I decided to RECORD THE CALL next time and report it to cyber crime police.
It is shame on Airtel to have such telecallers on board.Is this the way the collect money?
Oh my god i never will go for Airtel and allow my friends and family too to go with them.
I am sending this link to the nodal officer of airtel in Tamil Nadu(Chennai). Let us see what he do for solving it.

I believe you take this seriously and act on this. I could have come out of this problem simply by giving a complaint in the cyber crime and left it there. Why i am writing you is, i want this company to grow and serve people. That doesn't happen when you have telecallers who use sexually abusive languages to a non-customer too.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt response and sincere concern to solve this.
When asked about her number she said the following numbers "[protected]", "[protected]".
FYI: She again called today when we were not there and was threatening my old parents to give the home address. My parents wants me to go to police immediately.
When i am not even a customer of airtel. i don't know why they are behind me.
I would appreciate if this menace is put a full stop before it reaches the breakpoint.
Please give me your contact number and the convenient time to call to give more details on the incident.
Thanks,
Jagdish.
========================================================================
My genuine question to AirTel
Are you NOT recording the customer support calls?
When we said we will record this call. She is telling, "Go and complaint to anyone... i am least bothered"
What is giving them so much arrogance? the anonymity isn't did?

I had taken a prepaid connection of airtel 5 days back... recharged it with 888 and still it tells me my connection is in the grace period... moreover on customer service everyday they tell me that it will be activated in 24 hours... this has been happening for past 3 days.

Deducted money 100rs saying i downloaded some java game which i have not. I have a unlimited one year gprs connection. They don't explain what i downloaded.

i am working in m/s.chandra shekar & company(construction)
even i had horrible experience with customer care and collection department of airtel.
we have taken group connection from airtel. i got a bill for all the ten phones plus they have added one time charges of rs.450/- in the first bill. I complained the same to customer care but i did not get any clarification from the airtel. i paid the bill. and again now in the second bill they included rs.1609.00 as one time charges. I got astonished, I paid the bill after deducting the one time charges from it. but for the last 4 days i have been tortured by the collection department of airtel. they made several calls to all our nos. and harassed us to pay the balance. I said till i receive the details from Airtel i will not pay the "One Time Charges. to-day i.e., 25-08-2008 they simply disconnected my outgoing service. Nobody in the Air tel office knows the details for the one time charges. What I meant to say is Airtel is behaving like a monarch and pressurising the customers to pay the bill without asking for any details. otherwise they will disconnect our phones and put us into trouble. this is ridiculous. The Higher Management of Airtel should look into the matter and see that such type of mistakes should not repeat in future. Otherwise airtel will loose its credibility and lost its busines in the near future.
Hope that conccerned authorities will look into the matter and take approapriate steps to improve the service to the customers of Airtel.
Please Treat this as an URGENT message
I have been holding mobile No. [protected] a corporate number since 2000. Of late there is a severe tampering by Airtel Staff by deactivating my out-going services. Despite several reminders my line is never the same and it takes nearly 3 to 4 days after several calls to some known Airtel staffs the line will be restored and just after some days they would deactivate by mobile number exclusively. I am a heart patient during emergency if I cannot use my mobile phone how it can be handy.
Kindly take this message serious and advice your staffs in Chennai that they are paid to work more professionally and not fool around like an unorganised sector. Thanking you for your understanding in this matter. W Regards Manasseh Joseph

When i was given my sim card i was told airtel is putting a signal tower in my area (mhada colony, mulund east) as there is signal problem in my area. Even after 2 months after actvating my card signal problem excisted. Twice i made the complaint, Problem was not solved. Next i requested to cancell my card as i was paying more because of signal problem.I was told by your executive that he is giving me a zero rental plan where i dont have to pay any rent for the period of 6 months, by that time tower will be installed.but he cheated me by putting me in 150 plan with 50% discount.i request you to kindly look into my matter and return my payment which airtel has deducted from my creditcard account from the time of changing my plan .my previous complaint no is [protected]. I spoketo your executive she is not willing to listen.Plesse call me on my vodaphone no [protected]

I got my Airtel CUG number on 19th Dec, 2008. It got activated on 21st Dec and on 27th Dec all outgoing calls were blocked. Why? Because my address verification was not done as I was not at home when the verification person arrived. After that, I've made innumberable calls to the customer care in Pune to send the Verification person again. At first they told me to go to the nearest Airtel center to submit the documents which when I did go to turned very dissappointing. I was told they cant help me with this and only the customer care can. The customer tells me the other way round. Also I requested for a soft copy of my billed amount which was not sent. I must say, the carelessness with which the customer care has handled my account is astonishing. I never expected this of Airtel and after being a loyal customer for long I will actively dissuade my friends not to buy Airtel. My problem is still not resolved and my security money of 500 is still stuck with them. A highly incompetent workforce.

HI All,
I'm one of the golden customer since 6 years for Airtel and I would like to request you to inform i:e.
I would like to request you to cancel mobile no: +91 [protected].
This is for your information that Rs.420.00 charges against GPRS (Which we it was activated unnecessary; without intimating me).
Hence, I will be paying this balance amount of Rs.1500.00 and closing my account.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this,
Please call me for mobile no: [protected] or rajeevnbangalore@gmail.com.
Thanks and regards,
Rajeev N
I was using this no. [protected] some time back and later closed it.
Still I receive emails from airtel to make the pending bill payments. I did all closures before actually surrending the sim and number with Airtel Outlet.
Requesting the concerned people to look into the matter.
A similar thing is happening to my friend. He had two numbers, one is active and the other blocked because of amount due, which is fair. My friend is asking for time to settle the amount (it is less than 4k), and not refusing to pay. My friend has defaulted but not refusing to pay. Worst is Airtel can send a legal notice and settle it in a court of law. But the telecaller is calling the numbers that are contacted through the other active number. This information obviously is provided by Airtel but Airtel also sends a mail expressing concern in response to the complaint. Effective double-game by Airtel. My friend is about to contact cyber crime for harrassment and abusive language.
