Airtel deceptive subscription of tune!

This is to beware you that don't go for airtel mobile service in at least Himachal Pradesh circle. Six months ago I subscribed a postpaid connection from airtel. Since then I'm receiving promotions calls from them. I requested number of times to Airtel customer care and they didn't reacted at all. I believe they do not understand a simple word 'NO'. More soever in November 2007 they subscribe the tune themselves and charged Rs 200/- Plus for that. SO JUST BEWARE OF AIRTEL.

They(Customer care executive)(all great idiots) will not do any thing. Always give you wrong way to stop, and wrong information to unsubscribe any services.. Sometimes without informing you they activated those services... Whatever you can try this... To unsubscribe, SMS UNSUB < Service code > to 54321 eg . UNSUB News to 54321.
or the following link can help you... I did and its working now...

Airtel irresponsible

Dear Airtel Mr Ashish Negi,

I have applied for Airtel Prepaid to postpaid switchover long before(3 months back). But when i confirmed after 15 days of application, they said that my application has been lost. Then i again filled fresh application form with all the proofs. After 15 more days they said that my sim has to be changed. Then i did that too. After this my no was active for 10 days. After that all my calls have been diverted to Airtel customer care. There they said that i have given MUMBAI address to my surprise(To a place where i have never been before). How stupid is it. Then once again i gave my proof. After all these struggle, i just couldn't activate my no. and i gave up and really was surprised how your service was and then took a new vodafone connection(which has been activated on the very same of filling the application after 2 hours only). After all these struggle i just managed to get incomming calls for yesterday after 8 pm only, which lasted for that night alone. Please take some necessary steps. I have all the documents, if i donot get any positive response from your side too, i have to meet you in consumer court. All these things happened in your REACH COMMUNICATIONS at ANNANAGAR Chennai.

From: Subramanyam Atreyasa

Auto Debit from my saving account at ICICI, SR Nagar, Hyderbad

I came across with what you call as the most rediculious accounts handling of Airtel. I have no ECS to AIRTEL for any of my bank acccounts. But every time these guys are auto debiting my saving accounts at ICICI for some other customer.

I found this problem when I was out of country for 4-5 months in the 3rd qtr of 2008. And when I visited India in the month of November 2008, I need to follow up with Raghavendra at White house, Begumpet Office to address my issues.

After few weeks they found that neither the bills belong to me nor the amount and by mistake they have debit 3-4 times my account for some other customer bills. After a long follow up AIRTEL has credited my accounts with all the debits.

I'm now again out of country, and I came across with same problem. I found an auto debit from my saving account at ICICI for AIRTELAP. This is purely THEFT CASE and HARRASING CASE against AIRTELAP. I will be waiting to hear in 24 hours from now, if not I will be directly lodging a case against AIRTEL and let them know what if harrasing a customer.

If any AIRTEL office see this messages pelase send me personal email and sort the problem out.

Thank you

Airtel problem in creating c. u. g in my airtel friends pack.

Sir,
My mobile no is :[protected]. Its an airtel friends pack and I had created a group of 5 members about 1years ago. Inorder 2 delete 2 members and join some other members we all decided to break the existing group after consulting the customer care. We got it brocken very easily. But, now the problem is that we are not able to create any new group further even after trying from last few days. All are maintaining the minimum balance of rs30 and none of this numbers are lifetime scheme. So, please take necessary measures to solve this problem.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Airtel deficiency of service, fraudulent advertising, unethical sales and unresponsive customer service

Hi all:

Airtel Broadband Service is a joke going on for too long.
I opted for their 2 Mbps connection and have never seen it deliver.
I have been getting between 7 Kbps and 30 Kbps - mostly the former download speed since the time I have been with their service, which is now about 6 months now. I have been complaining about this deficiency and only recently some local tech ppl were sent over and they confirmed verbally that the problem is not in the last mile or repeater but rather in their NOC which is in Delhi and I'm at Calcutta.

Even after this the service never improved. On top of that they out of the blue start sending inflated bills. The customer support is an eyewash to waste customer's time. None of the problems I ever reported were resolved till date. Their service goes offline at least 3 times in a week. No one knows of the SLA that is supposed to have been given the customer at the time of sign-up.

Airtel discourages customers from checking their online usage by making them again physically go to their customer support center after sign-up and again submit photo ID, and a written applkication to provide usage checking user/pass details. Of course this is so they can overbill you. This shouldn't be the case as they already have the photo ID etc with the broadband connection application - but they do this drama over again so ppl will not be bothered with this extra effort of re-registration again - which is what I had done and only after the inflated bills did I re-register again.

I have been regularly paying their bills but for the last 2 months which has hugely inflated billing. Even then I paid the normal bill amount except the inflated amount.

So to summarize:

#. Airtel converted me from my previous ISP, BSNL by fraudulently selling me the 2 Mbps connection (which actually doesn't come anywhere near that specification) and therefore CHEATED me.
#. Deficiency of Service to deliver 2 Mbps even after repeated complaints throughout the last 6 months.
#. Fraudulent overbilling
#. Actively by-passing customer right to know (internet usage stats) by systematically thwarting access to this info by means of duplicate, redundant and forced re-registration and that too by adamantly forcing ppl to visit physical customer support center and providing no means of doing so online. Clearly a malpractice and a violation of customer rights as per TRAI.

Everybody who feels this is also the case with the service of Airtel Broadband, plz reply here and I'm planning on a joint public interest litigation to the consumer court. Some companies think they can get away with anything - unless of course their bubble gets busted.

Thanks and cheers.
Gairik

I completely agree that the airtel customer service is pathetic.
They are sending me inflated bills for the past couple of months.
Airtel authorities never warn the customers for exceeding broadband usages so that they can generate a huge bill amount and harass the customers for clearing these dues.
I have been using airtel services for more than 3 and a half years now but now I don't wish to continue with the same.

Unauthorized Charges on Your Local Phone - Utility Bill?
How to Find Them, Eliminate Them & Get Your Money Back!
If your business still gets its phone service through the old "AT&T and Verizon, etc" local phone company (as opposed to one of the newer competitive phone providers) then you need to double check your phone bill each and every month for charges you did not authorize. You may not know it but the local phone company allows other companies to bill you through your local phone bill. And while the local phone company allows other businesses to bill you through your local phone bill, the local phone company does not verify that the charges being billed to you by the other company are valid. When these unauthorized charges fraudulently appear on your phone bill it's called "cramming". Unfortunately you as the business owner or manager are the only one that can spot the unauthorized charges and if you don't comb over your bill every month to spot these unauthorized charges - you'll pay for them.
Why does the local phone company allow other companies to pass charges onto your phone bill? "Third-party billing" is supposedly a great convenience in that you only have to pay one bill instead of separate bills for obvious authorized phone related charges like yellow-page advertising in the "real yellow pages", 411 information calls and long-distance calls from your chosen long distance carrier. Over the years though, some less-than-scrupulous companies have realized that most businesses rarely scrutinize their local-phone bills. To take advantage of this, these companies have come up with elaborate schemes to place
unauthorized charges on your phone bill that you'll end up paying for without even thinking. Unauthorized
charges you can end up paying for include charges for unwanted (and unused) email accounts, web sites,
directory information calls, directory advertising in obscure publications, voice mail accounts and other
services.
In theory, before these charges can be placed on your phone bill, the company that is originating the third-party billed charges is supposed to have a verification of the order like a voice recording. In reality though,
all the company needs to do to initiate the charge is submit your name and phone number to the billing
entity. The verifications are only required to be produced if a complaint is filed.
To prevent these charges from appearing on you business phone bill it's helpful to understand the four
parties that make unauthorized third party phone charges a costly reality. Party number one is any
employee who can answer your business phones. The unauthorized charge is rarely random and it usually
happens after one of your company employees gets a telemarketing call. Employees should be instructed to
document and report any overly aggressive telemarketing calls they receive. Party number two is the
telemarketing company that originates the unauthorized charges by trying to get your employee to accept
some service for which you'll be billed through your local phone bill. Party number three is the third-party
billing company that has billing agreements with your local phone company. The name of the third-party
billing is the one that is prominently displayed on your phone bill. After the third-party billing company's
name is the name of the company that is originating the unwanted charges. Party number four is your "former Ma Bell" local phone company that collects the unwanted charges (keeps a share for "Ma") and then passes the rest to the third-party billing company (who keeps a big share) and then passes the balance on to the company that initiated the unwanted charge.
Following are some of the top third-party billing names and unauthorized charge originators you'll find on
your phone bill. If you see these names on your phone bill you'll want to call the toll free number listed next to the charge to confirm it's a charge that's been properly authorized to be placed on your bill. Following are actual examples that we've recently found while auditing business phone bills.
We recommend customers should review any utility bills issued by deregulated utility companies. (In most instances today, consumers are paying higher charges to the deregulated gas and electric supply companies).
All Utility - Energy, gas, electric and water bills should be reviewed for proper reading and tariff.
If you suspect that you have been overcharged ask for detailed explanation and or file a complaint with your State Utility Commission.

I completely agree as same was the case with my connection and now even worse as after having requested a disconnection of service(by phone/e-mail/letter which Airtel Connect refused to take), they still continue billing me and making harassing calls at anytime of the day.

Airtel customer care - never cares for customer

I am an airtel kolkata customer. I had been roaming since last may 2007. I am not at all satisfied with the airtel customer care division. Whenever I am roaming there are some or the other problem with my connection. And every time I launch a complain with the customer care kolkata I am never satisfied.
I am listing the problems with the customer care division:

1. Standard reply of the personel - We have logged your problem. Thanks for calling the customer care. (No answer whether the problem will be solved or not) CARELESS ATTITUDE.

2. Again if you call related to the same problem - A fresh problem is logged. Ask for the previous logged problem (NO TRACE).

3. Any uncommon question you ask - call hold for 10 - 15 minutes - Standard reply - (OUR SERVER IS NOT WORKING - PLEASE CALL AFTER ONE HOUR) - after hour once again explain the whole problem and again the same answer.

4. Try to talk to any superior to the customer care executive - YOU ARE KEPT ON HOLD FOR UNLIMITED PERIOD. If luckily you get the rare opportunity to talk to them, again narrate the whole detail with every minute issues and answer (SIR THANKS, WE SHALL GET BACK TO YOU) and they never get back.

---IN A NUTSHELL - IT IS NOT CUSTOMER CARE. IT SHOULD BE CUSTOMER REPORTING DIVISION OR CUSTOMER TIME PASS OR CUSTOMER HARASSMENT DIVISION.

While the Network of Vodafone, BSNL, Reliance etc. are fairly available at our Office premises at - 43, Moti Sil Street, Kolkata – 700 013 (Behind : METRO Cinema, Near : Kolkata Municipal Corporation), we really do not understand the reason for your unwillingness or, inability to improve the Airtel Network, despite your several promises.

Airtel unwanted missed call alert service

Dear all,

I have an airtel prepaid connection and I am a person who talks to the point on mobile and I prefer not wasting my mobile balance for gossips etc.

This all started in march 2007, when I got a sms from airtel customer care:

"Rs 15 have been deducted from your account for your last VAS download. Thank you for using Airtel missed call alert service." Of course not willing to pay 15 Rs for missed call alert, I immediately called customer care. After much of "Please wait, maa'm, I will check", I got an answer from the customer service guy that the service was given because "I asked for it". Shocked by this invention, I told him that never in my life have I requested such service by call, sms or reply to call or reply to sms with airtel customer service and there is some error in airtel database. The person adamantly told me that "If our system says that you have asked for it, you have asked for it." I again told the person that I have never requested such service. But like a taped message, his reply was the same. "If our system says that you have asked for it, you have asked for it."

I requested the customer fellow that if he says that I asked for 'Missed call alert' service, he should produce me proofs and date and time, when and by which medium have I asked for missed call alert service. The person said that "Sorry Maa'm, We cannot disclose the information." After much of argument, The person told me that they would not refund the 15 rs deducted, and If I want that next month 15 Rs not deducted, I should sms mca cancel to 511 and confirm within 24 hours that the service is really canceled.

Helpless, but not willing to lose Rs 15 again next month, I sent the sms to 511. When called to ask whether the missed call alert service is canceled, I got a reply from customer care that "The service is still active, but it will surely be canceled within next 24 hours."

Next month when I saw Rs 15 deducted again, I immediately called customer care and informed about the matter. Again I got the reply about "sms mca cancel to 511, will be canceled in next 24 hours" etc etc. This time also I sent the sms. I also mailed to [protected]@airtelindia.com about this. Git an automated reply "your request will be processed within 24 hours." But no one from customer care reached me about complaint.

Now 7 months are over since I first called customer care. 15 X 7=105 Rs already deducted form my account. I resent the complaint mail 4 times. Every month I send sms about canceling missed call alert service, every time new customer care guy tells me that this time the service will surely be calceled, and next month I again see Rs 15 deducted from my account.

Is there any other way than sending sms about canceling a service and being restless because it is not canceled, or talking to any tina, mina or asif from airtel call center and their false promices?

Exactly same is my complaint with airtel, this is now going on with me since 8 months. Every time call center people tell to sms mca cancel to 511, every time I do that and get promices that it will be cancelled within 24 hours and every next month 15 rs are deducted again.

Dear Nodal officer,

I am Deependra Singh Bhadouria and My Mobile no. [protected].
I want to lunch a strong protest against very poor customer service from Airtel Mumbai.

I was using Motorola Z6 Rocker with imei [protected]. I validate my IMEI by sending an sms to 53232 and got following SMS in reply from 53232...
SUCCESS: THIS IMEI BELONGS TO :BRAND : Z6MANUFACTURER : MOTOROLASOURCE:MSAI,
OFFICIAL GSMA PARTNER IN INDIA.

Even though i having valid IMEI, The Airtel Sim card stop working on motorola Z6 from 30th nov Due to this I had lost my precious time and money.
From the beginning of this month I am keep getting massages about Invalid IMEI. So I spoke to Customer Service Executives more than 10 times in this regard. They informed me that " its a common massage and I should not worry about it Each and every time they replied the same thing.
Now what happened today I lost my time my money my handset...all of because very poor Customer Service. If they didn't have the proper information than they shouldn't have provided me wrong info regarding IMEI.
I ques at Customer Relationship Center at Naupada Thane, But they didn't help me about any thing.
After that I called 121 and spoke to CSA at around 14:20 PM [protected]...She spoke very rudely and didn't listen my complaint.
Right know I am feeling morally harassed by Airtel Customer Service. This is not the way to treat costumers...I am a customer of airtel since 2005.
I don't know how Airtel had put my IMEI on invalid IMEI nos' list. While each and every GSM Service providers are providing the GSM service on my mobile handset except AIRTEL.(After inserting various GSM Sims in my Handset)
I want to start Airtel services on my Mobile hand set(Z6 MOTOROLA [protected]) any how.
I am very very disappointed with Service of Airtel.

I have a very strong faith at Airtel's Grievance Department.
This is a very humble request to you to resolve my Complaint ASAP.

Regards
Deependra

I am faced with this Rs 15 deduction problem myself. I have the lowest end mobile phone, with no WAP support. Still they are deducdting Rs 15 citing some WAP service. I have already lost at least Rs 90/-
Call centre executives put it bluntly that they cannot deactivate it. Since I find many people facing this issue we should get together and make a representation to Airtel senior management.

After reading this comment you will not visit this website again

Dear friend this happen with me and with my friend also though i send cancellation sms=DMCA@ 250 my INR 15 rs got deducted i immediately call 121 executive also reply me same then i calm myself and again made call after 24 hour since 24 is require for system updation. I made complaint with all details like date /time when i got sms and when i send sms for cancellation date/time after this he assure me that he ( Airtel ) will send me my balance and yes i do get my balance in 48 hours with sms confirmation like (we are pleased to informed you that an amt of Rs 15 has been credited in your account.* my friend didn't got his balance back cause he fail to lodge complaint properly)

Friend no any company is fraud except ( unReliance ) since government have punish them lot of time for exploiting and cheating with both customer and government. I feel as per as private telecoms sector concern only BHARTI airtel is ideal since there name bharti airtel sound more close to bharat than company like VEDA PHONE / UN-RELIANCE but this time your problem is serious i will advice you to email your problem to NODAL OFFICER i read abt this in airtel Manuel since i have habit of reading all the detail abt the product explain your complaint like all details like cell information mobile number since when ur ballcne deducted how many time u made complaint since airtel server always store all the data so i am sure he will look in this concern and he wil resend your balance. According to airtel information book nodal officer is the last step and he is suppose to either resolve or reply your complaint within 48 hours
*Email address= nodalofficer.mumbai@airtel.in /contact no= [protected] *mumbai circal only.

Friend i have also face lot problem like u. I face money deduction for mobile office service which was inactive and i was not able to enjoy and cancel it. Everyday my balance use to deduct by 14.99 and everyday i use to make complaints and they resend my ballace with same tape ( sure from tomorrow your balance will not be deducted ) this continued for 9 days then i went to Airtel gallery they also fail to resolve my problem then i desperately started searching solution on this and then i came to know abt this NODAL OFFICER but i didn't find the email address or mobile number of nodal officer then i request his email and mobile number just by sms to 121 and i got i email the story with full details i don't know should i tell this or not but i think people should know both side since this is complaint Bord people only posting complaints. I request to resend my INR 30 Rs but Airtel ( nodal officer ) send me INR 128 Rs don't know how he calculate my loss i tell this to my friend he explain me why i got 120 insted of just 30 he said cause i was badly harrase by airtel system server due some fault he paid the loss which i had ( financially / psychologically )

Airtel duplicate sim is activated but balance and validity is not updated

I have taken a duplicate sim from airtel office in koramangala branch almost a month ago. Till now I am not able to use it. I have validity till april 2008 and a balance of 700+. After my repleted visit to there office for two weeks (Around 7 times) I am able to see signal ie, sim is active. However I am not able to see my balance and validity. When I press *123#, I see that balance is zero and validity is unknown (a symbol '- '). For this again visited number of times, I called them repeatedly. I raised complaint in custom care of airtel, but till now the problem is not resolved. The nearest airtel office is around 12km from my place, I have travel all the way from there. They say that it will resolved in 24hours.

Can I raise a complaint in consumer court through online?

Airtel sim activation status

i purchased a sim of Airtel around six months ago Of Mobile No. [protected] with all relevent documents and i chose lifetime validity.
After 8-10 days due to some technical fault my no. was diverted to other no.
i applied to block that sim by informing at Airtel Office Hoshangabad (M.P.), and i was given new sim with same mobile number with sim number [protected].
but till date this new sim is not activated.
I've submitted all relevent documents again but till now i've been given so many appologies (like server problem/will be done in 1-2 days) e.t.c.
Now i'm waiting for ur positive response or i'll be so disappointed by the services of Airtel.

hi
This is Manish Awasthi from New Delhi..recently i purchased a prepaid sim of Airtel No:[protected] and Sim No:[protected] 7..and as i know one can not take a sim(connection) without giving any documents.I have also given the same.I bought this sim on 29th Sept 2007 from Mobile Store Alaknanda New Delhi.It worked just for 10 days..

The problem is my sim is not working since a week and i have been told to re-deposit relevant documents twice..i deposited all the documents(add proof,voter ID,Photo) thrice..one in Mobile Store ASC New Delhi ,second in Airtel Office in G Block kalkaji and third in Airtel office in Nehru Place...but the result is same ..stil my connection is not working and there is no use of talking to innocent customer executives as they don't know why my documents are not reaching there.Still my mobile shows limited service..and i m not able to do outgoing calls and neither i am ablel to receive incomming calls.

At last i thought i should get in touch with you..lets see what type of help you people provide..otherwise i will go the government authorities as it is important to know where my documents are going?who is going to take reponsiblity if they are use in any illegal work/purposes.

thanks and hope for early action

Airtel vas download charges despite reporting to customer care

I find that Airtel is deducting Rs.14.99 intermittantly for VAS download. I have no interest in changing ring tones and I don't use their services. I reported to customer care and also sent deactivating message over the number given. But the charge continues.

I have just recharged my mother in laws mobile while overseas; and wanted to have some talktime available while she is in transit. Funny. I dislike Airtel for this. Hope they have a better explanation of what this is and why are they ripping off the customers while in roaming. This doesn't help.

Airtel closing the connection

Myself Rajesh k Sharma, R/O 1170-F, Sector 7B Chandigarh has been a subscriber of mobile phone having cell no. [protected]. I do not want to continue with the mobile connection, so you are requested to stop the mobile connection and services to my mobile.
You are further requested to adjust the payment/bill against the security deposit of Rs. 250/- deposited at the time of taking connection.

I may be informed through retur mail regarding the return of the sim card and the payment/refund of money after adjusting the bill against security.

It is made clear that after 31-10-2007 I do not require the mobile connection. So you are requested to do the needful at the earliest and inform accordingly.

Yours sincerely

Later it is known that an executive enquired about genuiness of my residential address and certified that no such person is staying at the given address. The reason is that the person came with different House No. (i.e. 5-12/239/1 insted of 5-12/239/3)which is not furnished by me. The same ws brought to the notice of the Customer Care with the ref.No.[protected], [protected], [protected] etc., but the same was not rectified and surprisingly my out going services were barred wef 30.10.2007 and I've been asked to submit blank cheques though my employer has cetified my genuiness.
It is not known why ur activating new connection without veryfying genuiness and completing all formalities and barraing the calls at a later time.
Why a customer needs to roam around the Airtem Offices? Is't a Free Service?
Pl. rectify the above imdly and take action agnst the concerned for the inconvenience caused to me duly informing the same to me.
further, see that no such inconvenience caused to the any of valuable customers.
A REPLY INTO THE MATTER IS SOLICITED IMMEDIATELY.
