This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I am a customer of airtel punjab from appx. last 2.5 years. In recent days i recharged my # [protected] with top up of 545 n according to airtel customer support buddies if i recharged my no with 545 top up then i got 1year validity for low call rate n i got 15000 national sms for free. So i recharged my no with this pack. But it doesn't work i got only low call rates n local sms for free but not national sms they charged me Rs 2 for national sms. Then i called up to there customer service they told me that we forward ur complaint and it will take 3-4days... but again after 4 days it doesn't work... n nw airtel people are not attending my call. What the hell is this... now i want to file a serious complaint against Airtel punjab for such a harassment...

Somebody, plz help me.

I am using airtel. I am not able to get customer care. I have tried all no.s 121, [protected] etc...
many times i mailed them my problem.. and many times i lodged my complaint from my landline phone.
But they are not replying to mails nor resolving the problem. One of the executives even told me that it can not be resolved. Can anybody tell me how to initiate legal action against them. I am serious about it. They are making fool of consumers.

My airtel mobile no. is [protected]. On 24th Feb this year, I lodged a complaint at airtel customer center in respect of debit of Rs.100/- from my prepaid account. I was assured by the executive that the complaint would be forwarded to the concerned and the complainant would get redressal of his complaint with in next 48 hours. Over three months have lapsed, but the redressal of my complaint is still awaited, despite a number of reminders.

Dear Concerned Person,

Myself is Amit Kapila working as Agency Manager in Bharti Axa Life Insurance Co. Ltd., Mohali. I bought new airtel (Postpaid) corporate connection ([protected]) through Bharti Axa on 10th of July, 2008. I submitted my two proofs. My Driving License copy as a ID Proof and as my address proof i have submitted in written on my Company's Letter Head as per instructions given by your corporate dealer in Chandigarh i.e. Strategic Marketing Co. Ltd., Sector - 17, Chandigarh. On my License, there was our old address and verification executive gone to our that old address as i already told them that the address i have given on my company's letter head that is our present & permanent address. On 13th of july, outgoing barred on my number, then i called up Customer Care Executive & Dealer (SMPL) for then they told me that i have to submit documents again. On 16th i have submitted my same two documents to executive of SMPL (Mr. Bhuvesh & Mr. Laxman) as per instructions by them. They told me that your number ([protected]) will in service again till 12PM (Midninght of 16th July). My number got service again on 17th of July. Now, after five days again i am facing same problem. My outgoing again barred on 22nd July. Kindly confirm from your dealer that why they are harassing me and making scene again and again.

I already have 3 more connections of Airtel at my home 2 postpaid & 1 Prepaid. But till date we never face any problem. But now, we are facing very much problem due to mistake of Airtel Dealer.

If this number ([protected]) will not get any service again then i will not pay any single peny or any outstanding payment against this number ([protected]) as i have already escalted this number ([protected]) in my corporate circle & Friend Circle.
You can better understand how much problem i am facing.

Kindly arrange to confirm from dealer or please activate outgoing call facility on this number ([protected]) at the earliest possible.

I shall be very thankful to you.

Regards
Amit Kapila

HI all
I am Airtel Punjab Customer my cell no is [protected]. i have one add on connection. Last year my addon connection was used by my friend in roaming in Maharashtra for period of march 2007 to apr 2007. When i recieved bill my friend raised doubt on billing amount and we asked cutomer care airtel to send detailed call sumary of bill. But they didn't sent it BUT in next month they added penalty. My services were blocked earlier befor compining to customer care because of exceeding of credit limit.
Now again i contacted to customer care at my own ... but result... by the aug 2007 i started calls from customer care regarding bill payment. I straight forward stated that untill i will not recieve Call Details i will not deposit my bill.
Now exactly after 1 year i am being threated by airtel to deposit bill or face Legal charges. Now i have to deposit 36000 Rs against bill of [protected]. in past i have paid bill more than 5000 in a month why i will not pay bill of [protected] Rs if evrything is OK.

Please tell me what i should do?

My airtel mobile is [protected](prepaid) . On 6 August 2008 Net on Phone activated on my mobile without my permission And deducted Rs 99 from account. On my request to senior offical Net on phone is Deactivated on 21 august but transfer of money into my account is still awaited. If anybody want to waste his time then only call Airtel customer care Because they will make fool of you for 10-15 days and then say that there is no solution to your problem. If airtel has 50 lakh customers then they are earning 50 crores by this method.

Dear sir/madam g

I am munish kumar from Punjab district Patiala and mobile number is [protected].
I have an honour to inform you that Employees of customer care (airtel) attached an unnecessary Service pack with number ([protected]) without telling me. I did a lot of comnplaints regarding This problem to customer Care for stop/off. But still I am helpless to off this unnecessary service

First of all, my complaint was on 15 march 2010 and second complaint was on 16 march 2010 By dialing special complaint number 198, but customer care gave me believe that my problem has been solved but it is very shameful for customer care because I noticed this unnecessary Service still going on . Third time I did complaint but no action has been taken by any employees Yesterday I came to know my 30 rupees has been till now and this process is continues going on.
Please help….please help me….please help me… I did not activate any scheme .

Because I am student and you can understand the student problems
Note: why customer care Tell a lie to Airtel Customers and harassment
In last I hope on you, my problem will be solved solved shortly

Regards
Munish kumar [protected] punjab district patiala

hi
myself ritika from sangrur, punjab. using airtel connection for more than a year and recharged it many times. today i got a call from an airtel no and the person claimed that the airtel number i am using is not mine bt his. how is it possible?
and plus he threatened me to block my number.
it is very ridiculous.
moreover some airtel's employee have, without my permission, subscribed to some stupid cricket news. previously my balance was above 450/- and now it has been reduced to around 150/- within a month bcz of this. from last one and half month they are sending these msgs . previously it was IPL news and now W-20. how to get rid of it?

Bharti Airtel, this type of mess spoils your reputation if you dont take any step to satisfy your customer. last night my friend's airtel balance redused to 0.07 paise from 700 Rs. she got seleral subscription messages which she never did. she registred a complaint at that moment but they cudlt take any proper step. thats terrible. I have no idea how to help her. because i m from a different state and i cant even interact with their customercare.
my email id is sp.hinx@yahoo.com.
