Airtel bought new sim card which is not working!

I bought a new SIM card from a shop at Pune station. I filled up the necessary form immediately. On the next day I submitted my photo as well. It appears the shop keeper has not sent the photo to Airtel Office, and hence I received sms / calls from Airtel. I went again to the shop and he assured me that the photo has been sent to Airtel. But today to my surprise, I find that the service has been withdrawn! The message "Call [protected]" for customer care : On trying this number through a landline, the response says that the number itself is not registered! Now what do I do?! Shoot down the shop keeper who sold me the SIM card? Does Airtel have any control on such third rate callous vendors? Or is it that Airtel office itself has misplaced the application or photograph? Why do they sell SIM cards thru such outlets? Secondly, is there an after-sales service available? Customer care?

By the way my cell number is [protected]. I am sure Airtel can do something about such SIM card vendors. Or else something must be done about Airtel itself!

Airtel fraudulent charges from bank account

I was alerted by the Transaction Review folks at my bank on 02/08/07 that AirTel was processing three separate charges using my Debit Card number. Each charge was for $208.33 for a grand total of $624.99. One such charge has already cleared my bank pending their FRAUD investigation. I have phoned and Emailed the Company repeatedly with NO HELP, NO ANSWER or a response of any kind. I am not a victim of the "bank deposit check" scam currently operating in Hawaii where I reside. This is the fraudulent use of my Debit Card which had to be cancelled. This is really frustrating because I am on a fixed income and now must cover these amounts, $624.99 until my Bank can proceed.

I am also a victim of a fraudulent transaction from Bharti Airtel. My credit card company is still in the process of disputing the $200 charge. I consider myself fortunate that my wife saw this suspicious charge 3 days after it posted and was able to request a dispute and cancel the card.

Airtel migrating from prepaid to postpaid plan: glitches

We (my friend and me) got calls from one Himanshu Rana from Unique Marketing services ( Shop No.9, Rajnath Apartments, Near Shri Ram Mandir, 90 Feet Road, Bhayander East, Mumbai) to convert our prepaid plan to "VERTICAL 99"- a postpaid one. As the scheme was looking attractive, we purchased SIM (Worth Rs. 599/- each).

We filled up the forms and gave all the necessary documents asked by him om 02.02.07. He told that by Monday (05.02.07), we will get verification calls and after that our new SIM cards will get activated.

But, till date no verification call has come. When my friend and me contacted on the no. [protected] given by him, we got repeated reply that Himanshu is not available on the no. And when I told that I am registering a complaint on Airtel website, he said me that it will be of no avail, as he himself looks after these complaints.

Everyone, beware!

Airtel - gprs connectivity problem!

I purchased a new airtel connection postpaid in nov 06 particularly for gprs mobile internet. From day one till date (06 feb 07), I am unable to connect to gprs as normally as my colleagues do. I don't know if it is a problem with sim or network. I had filed 5 complaints against the same in airtel 121, but no response. I had visited airtel outlet number of...

Airtel gprs not getting deactivated

I am really fed up with Airtel services, it very irritating ...

I had requested for my GPRS deactivation and for my refund for the unnecessary deduction from my account, but no action taken.

I had activated GPRS on 26th jan morning and tried to deactivate it that night itself, but was not deactivated. I tried with 56562 more than 10 times on the following days but still not deactivated.

Every day I receive the message “Your balance is deducted by Rs.12 for your VAS download.”
GPRS is not getting deactivate, it is not my fault. From so many days I am trying to deactivate it.

I have call up your customer care executive to find the status about the GPRS, sometime they say GPRS is active and sometime they say GPRS is deactivated. How automatically this activation happen?

And every day my balance is deducted by Rs.12

Costumer care executive doest not care you when you try to talk with them.

Hi,

I have similar problem but is Bigger issue

my GPRS plan was chaged without any notice and notification, i kept using it .. and after two day's my unbilled amount was 8600rs.

initally they accepted the fault Now they say it is okey..

What sould i Do..?

Here is lay of Airtel the conversation with airtel.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dear Sir,

I am User of Airtel number [protected], and I am facing sever problem will billing for last month.

I have been charged for uninformed bill plan change which was not requested.

I was using GPRS plan 349Rs/month plan regularly, and on 27th of Dec cecertainly I found and SMS stating my unbilled amount is 25XX rs which was around 150 rs Yesterday, i called customer care regrading that issue and customer care replied saying that must be an mistake in bill and wait till next bill generation.

later after one day I got SMS stating unbilled amount is 85XX Rs that time customer care told me about change in tariffs of GPRS on my account from 26th of Dec.

but i have never requested for deactivation of my previous plan but it still got deactivated and i got no sms stating deactivation.

further the tragedy does not stop here but i have been told by cust. care exec. that another plan of GPRS is active on my account (30Ps./50Kb)
which was never requested to be activated and I got No sms stating activation of the same.

now the scenario is that upon following (please refer following mail conversation ) rigorous correspondence with Customer care they assured me of waving off those charges and now they say that can not be done once bill is generated.

Please look into issue.

Feel free to Disturb me anytime.
[protected]

Looking forward to your urgent replay as my outgoing facilities are stopped science 10day's

A hope full Airtel customer

=================================================================================================================================

Dear Customer care exec.,

As my problem is still not solved and as AirTel assured me of solving problem once bill is generated (REF : " Further, we would like to inform you that the same will be rectified once the bill gets generated for your Airtel number [protected]. " ), today 9th is the bill generation date. I hope my problem will be solved and out going facility will be resumed as you find the problem in billing (charged for unrequested GPRS plan, PLEASE GO THRU MY COMPLAINT BELOW IN PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS ).

I seek a call from customer care in case if you are unable to understand my problem.

Looking forward to immediate call from you as mail box will be unavailable to me till Monday.

Dear Customer Care Executive,
AS I won this mobile number it is my call to decide which service to be
activated and deactivated on this number. NO one can simply activate any
plan at any point of time without my permission.

The Unbilled amount which was 2589.4 Rs Yesterday Became 8624.20 Rs Today
Without accessing Any GPRS service.

This surely indicate some fault in system.

All this fault because Airtel by mistake deactivated my running plan and
activated heavily casting plan without any information and permission,
this is not allowed as per consumer court guidelines, I request you to wave
off the charges which are charged to me without prior notification.

I will also request you to postpone the and interruption in the service
till the issue is resolved.

Looking Forward to positive replay from you.

Regrads,
Mahesh Kadam.

Airtel airtel kbc - cheats!

I have been trying to register as a contestant with kbc through my airtel mobile number since the january 29th episode when the lines had opened up for the same.

But since kbc is running two competitions simultaneously, ie, har seat hot seat and the question to register as a contestant on the show, every time I try to answer the question for registering, I get an automated response saying that the har seat hot seat lines are now closed and then I get charged for that call as well!

To better understand my complaint, one has to understand the show format. The har seat hot seat competition is only valid during each episode from 9 pm to 10 pm. After that, the question to register as a contestant flashes between advertisements after 10 pm till 8 pm the next day. So far I have been trying to register for episodes 26, 27, and 28 but every time I try to answer, the har seat hot seat automated reply comes on. The problem also lies in the fact that the number to be called in is the same for both competitions, ie 5646 followed by the correct entry, ie, either 1, 2, 3, or 4

I had complained at the nearest airtel outlet close to my home and I got an sms from the company stating the error was fixed but when I tried again, I kept getting the automated response from har seat hot seat and getting charged again!

I reside in the state of karnataka and I know that mine is not an isolated case as I have tried doing the same from a relative's cell phone and got the same response.

God bless you people who play KBC using Airtel Mobile. Yes, I was about to faint after getting my mobile bill. If anyone can guess what was my mobile bill for last month, I will send you to the KBC Hot Seat directly. It was not 1K, 2K, 3K, 4K, 5K, 6K hmm it was 7K. I will never ever play any games using my mobile. This is a lesson for me. For all of you Indian never ever play such games using your mobile phones. These are all gimmick and gimmick only.

In the Shortcut to KBC contest, Airtel KBC should stop resorting to cheap gimmicks to extend the minutes we talk (charged at "only" Rs. 6/min) when answering questions. There is an inordinate delay in reading out the options, as much as a 20-30 second pause (I even wondered if the line had got cut!), as well as getting an "invalid response" message with consequent repeating of the question with options. This is cheap and irresponsible behavior from the organizers and nothing but blatant cheating of the public! I advise subscribers to not get fooled by this gimmick and stop participating in this.

Airtel billing and network issue

This is in reference to the complaint raised by me for "No network coverage" in the basement in Sector 18, Gurgaon (behind Maruti Udyog).

The complaint number is : [protected].

The request was raised on 23-Nov-06 and the expected date for resolution was 27-Nov-06.

I wish to bring to your notice that the status of my request is still "OPEN" and I have not heard from anyone from Airtel side.

This is a known issue in this area and I am not able to understand why Airtel is so keen in loosing it's old customers for this very old issue which can be resolved by installing a booster (which all other service providers have already done).

I take this opportunity to raise this issue through your esteemed organization, so that Airtel does something to improve it's services and does not let few people to spoil the company's name.

Regards,
Himanshu Pandey

I would like to tell you about the highly DEPLORABLE and totally UNPROFESSIONAL attitude of the Airtel customer care executives. They have no sense of how to talk with customers – absolutely no etiquettes what so ever. They don't even know how to use the database in their computers, for God’s sake. My Airtel prepaid mobile no. is [protected]. Day before yesterday (March 9, 2008) I received the following message:

"Thanks for using the Airtel chat service"

Exactly the same thing has happened on my brother’s prepaid mobile connection number [protected]. After this on March 11, 2008 my balance was automatically deducted about 25 Rupees or so and showed the balance as negative now. Who the hell gave Airtel ANY permission to add ANY services or deduct ANY money from my account?

On several earlier occasions too, Airtel has committed such types of frauds so many times with me and my friends. One time it was an unauthorized charge of Rs. 24 and another time it was Rs. 99. They automatically activate any service on any number WITHOUT APPROVAL from the customer, and when these irate customers call them, the Airtel customer executives then have the nerve to start misbehaving on the phone. Give me a break. Classic case of – ULTAA CHOR KOTWAAL KO DAANTE, isn’t it?

So Mr. Airtel, please refund my 24 + 99 + 25 = 148 of FRAUDULENT BILLING, and do not activate any kind of useless services on my number in the future. If Airtel resorts to fleecing its unsuspecting customers like this ever again, then all of us friends and relatives here are going to form a group and jointly file a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against AIRTEL. We would also then feel compelled to take this issue to the news media and switch to foreign companies such as Vodafone, etc.

Re: Airtel

Dear Responsible & Airtel Mobile Staff,

I would like to put up my grieverance hereby for further action you feel essential to be taken in this concern. I bought a prepaid connection on 6/5/07 for Rs 250 in which as per the plan I was supposed to get talk time of Rs 250,instead I have got balance of Rs 125 at the time of loading the sim, I was told that the remaining balance of Rs 125 I would get within 72 hours, but after complaining for several times till date I have not received the remaining balance, lastly on 12/5/07 I was given a complaint which is [protected] please take action on very urgent basis or else I will discontinue Airtel service,as I am not satisfied with your customer care people since every now & then they say it would take 48 hours but nothing happens in due course of time, hoping that you would take a very prompt action in this connection & oblige.

My cheque of Rs 608/- for my monthly bill for my mobile no [protected] was received by the local franchisee unit of Airtel at Panjim Goa on 22nd February. The cheque was sent through courier services and proof of delivery was received from the service provider.However the concerned person receiving the cheque misplaced it and I had to face continuous reminders for 18 days from their Pune branch that the payment was not received. There were warnings of termination of services .All the explanation on my part was of no use to them.Ultimately I had to visit their Panaji office in person and issue them a fresh cheque. The earlier cheque has not been traced as yet.

I found the franchisee operation to be most unprofessional.

I have a post paid mobile connection of Airtel mobile services India through Account no. 107-[protected]. They have charged me for SMS while the connection I had was having free SMS pack. On talking to the customer service executive Ms. Kanchan I was told the company had withdrawn the SMS pack on 23rd Nov. Since no such notification of the company was received by customers I asked her to register my complaint and give me a complaint no. Which she refused. On being asked the number of her superior executives she refused to give the number. What is the way out for the customer?

First of all I want to say never take Airtel connection at least in Bangalore. I took Airtel Pre-Paid connection 15 days back, I submitted all required documents to that dealer only,then after one week I came to know that my documents are not with Airtel people that is why my Outgoing are barred.

Airtel the delhi office did not proceeded the documentation I have submitted!

I am a tourist in India and have resubmitted all needed documents, photocopy of the passport - with Indian visa, photos and whatever I was asked for, but now Airtel is asking me, via SMS, to "submit documents...", or else... I am now in Jaipur and cannot submit any documents in Delhi and guys here in Jaipur say there is nothing they can do. So, it seems that my phone will be disconnected because of the laziness or/and incompetence of the guys in Delhi office.

Airtels customer service department rely on computer generated reply system. It looks for words then generates a reply to your query based upon this software. I would suspect that only about 5% of your calls or SMS are actually read by a human interface. The company itself is debt ridden and having problems with competition from Hutch/Vodaphone, who offer a much better signal quality,especially in regard to GPRS. Airtel are living on borrowed time because most people realize that the service offered is total crap and that the equipment they use is out of date. Just look at the download speed on their GPRS service by pressing Ctrl Alt Delete and go into networking. It gives you the precise speed your connected at.Mine is usually 1.5kbps or .75 of 230 kbps. I can use it for emails and nothing else. Dump it and go to Reliance. Not for the phones but their data transfer card.It connects at 125kbps and costs around 1250 per month. I know it might seem costly but you save on time and blood pressure.Airtel or Airturd are rubbish. Dump them and vote with your mouse.I have lived on 3 continents and AIRTURD are the worst mobile company i ever come across. Absolutely crap.

I have Aitel Broadband and as a matter of fact Airtel's customer Service is too pathetic since they keep on hanging up on me. And, I have few billing disputes with Airtel's illegal charges and they didn't resolve it since November'2007 and then charged me more charges even when I was not using the services.

Please, NEVER EVER GO FOR AIRTEL SERVICES.

PATHETIC/POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE(AS THEY HANG UP ON YOU)/ILLEGAL CHARGES.

Airtel Friendz Services are becoming Worst and worst,

Whenever we makes a call in happy hrs, its really irritating to get connected with frndz,

Network will allways be down, Lot of conjestion in network, Very irritating, Am thinking to switch from Airtel to some other services, As i cant tolerate this any more.

Whenever there is need to call somebody very close to me, I have experienced very worst Network problems,

These conditions are not improving even after complaiting to lot many Customer care executives.
Some times even messages are also not going, its really frustating to have network like Airtel with your cell,

Frndz, I will sujjest, Just Switch your services.

Airtel don't ever call customer care in 121!

I am an airtel mobile prepaid user. My sincere advise to all airtel users is that "dont ever call customer care in 121 believing your complaints would be attended promptly". Airtel has this facility to discourage its customers when they approach with a complaint. According to trai regulations, whenever a customer contacts a mobile operator's customer care, he should be provided with a docket number and the next time you make a follow up call you have to mention this number and the mobile operator should be able to trace the complaint history and know the current status of the complaint. But this procedure is not at all followed by airtel. But some operators like former bpl mobile did this. Whenever you make a complaint, they record it and send you an sms with your query number, so that it would be easy for making a follow up. But airtel customer care executives try to avoid you by asking you lot of questions regarding your complaint and each time you make a call to know your complaint status, a different executive will be attending your call and you will have to explain everything right from the beginning. No matter how many times you contact 121, the same type of situation you will face. If you insist on getting you connected with some higher official, they have a fake button which will make a ring tone noise making you believe that your call is being directed to some higher official of the company but nothing will happen even if you hold the line for five or ten minutes. So the best thing is send an email regarding your complaint to the nodal officer and the ceo/coo of the respective circle. The email addresses can be found out in the following links.

Http://www.Airtelworld.com/nodalofficer. Htm

Http://www.Airtelworld.com/authority. Htm

Always prefer for a written response so that you can have a record of the correspondence for future action! You will probably receive a reply in about 2 or 3 days. Even then if your complaint is not redressed properly do not hesitate to send a legal notice and register a case with the consumer addressable forum. And don't hesitate if the amount involved is as low as rs.50 or 100/-. It is our money and we pay for their services and they don’t provide us anything at free of cost!

Yes, even in my Airtel account there was a deduction towards roaming charges while I had not gone anywhere for the complete month/billing cycle.

On speaking to the customer care (name Pankaj) not only he was rude but also he was adamant that I must have gone somewhere / outside the city and the charges are legible.

Is it the way of caring the customer or harassing him?

Wherelse no Privelage is as yet provided. instead i start gettin Calls to make the payments before due date has arrived. At times ur collection executive demand for payment. even when Payments are made. ur Services are very good. nothing to demand more. But it was very bad experience when the service was stopped for just Rs 170. For the month Oct .

Hi all,
This is reference to my post paid mobile connection which I had in Bangalore ([protected])
The reason for disconnection was that I got transferred to Chennai.
I had given a request for surrender of connection which was promptly received by airtel guys on 07.10.2017!
When I asked them about refund of my advance amount of Rs 1500.00,no one knows nothing as of date (08.01.2017)...They just keep on asking details to details, but ultimately no result!

I have been faxing them, email them, calling the airtel customer and till date I should have spent Rs 500.00 to get a refund of Rs 1500.00.

My advice to customers:

Don't get fooled by big commitments that Airtel gives!These are just plain gimmicks! If you already have a airtel connection, god save you!

Respected Sir,

This is in continuation of my complaint which has been remained unreplied. I bought a SIM card from CULLULAR SHOPPE, Shyam Kunj Building, 19, Arabinda Sarani, Kolkata – 700 005, ( Phone No. [protected], [protected] ) after submitting proper documents on 14th May'2017. After 7 days the outgoing call was barred. My Mobile Phone No. is [protected]. The Airtel customer care informed me by SMS that the documents were not submitted by the dealer. After that I contacted the dealer on 27/05/2017. They told me that to whom I submitted the documents is in leave and the documents are lying with him. I was asked to submit my identity proof again otherwise my mobile connection will be disconnected after 10 days. They behaved with me very badly and in such a manner that the fault is mine. My mobile connection has already been disconnected from 28/05/2017 without giving me 10 days’ time. I am surprised to know that they are asking for documents again. Why should I suffer because of the ignorance of the authorized dealer of Airtel ?

Please do the needful and oblige. Your early reply shall be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards.

Airtel cug not activated & refund not done!

I've a Airtel Prepaid card of Friends scheme card with 2 of my other friends. I opted for CUG Benefits, but could not avail them. Due to this, the Calling rate within the group which should have been 10 Paise is instead 1/- (10 times higher). I complained about it... and even after 9 days of the complaining movie going on, and talking to all the people out there, including CCS, Floor Supervisors, TL and Asst. Managers, the issue is just not resolved.

They always keep on repeating the same old words..."Its under process... N It'll be resolved as soon as possible..." This "as soon as possible" has no specific time limit or so... They are all useless... My friends always say I'm very Optimistic... Now I've also started believing that... See the Height of my optimism...

Still I believe that... Hope someday my issue's resolved... I still hope...

Airtel false advertising & unjustified deduction

On this Sunday I got 1 message from Airtel from 678000 saying "Your Hello Tunes Subscription Pack for 30 days has been updated. Dial 678 to select the latest songs as your Hello Tunes."

As it was free of cost I dialed 678 to set a latest song as Hello Tune for my number. Immediately after that my account was debited with Rs. 65. I downloaded this Hello Tune only because it is free. I don't want if it is being charged. This is unfair to me and I want my money credited back to my account.

I called your customer care executives twice on 15 Jan & 16 Jan. They said you deactivate your hello tune by dialing "*106#" and your money will be credited back to your account within 24 hours. It has not been done till now.

Lastly when I called customer care executive today (Jaideep Nimbalkar) he told me that your money will not be credited back to your account. He also said that you are fooling around by saying that it was not mentioned in your message that downloading a latest song will cost you money. You will have to come to our office and bla bla bla.

Airtel informark solutions scam

Authorized Dealer of Airtel "InfoMark Solution Malad mumbai" have cheated me.

They call me claiming that they are calling from Airtel, offered a post-paid connection (currently i am using Airtel-Prepaid connection). I agreed, for the connection so they send their executive on 30th Dec 2006, to give me SIM card and collect the documents.

I paid him 600Rs. and he told me that SIM will b activated in 3 working days. When i contacted them after 6 days. They told me that, Airtel wants some other address proof as a document, and they will be sending same executive to collect document. For 10 days no one comes.. i some how manage to send my document to them. I submitted copy of leave n license agreement of my house. Now its more then 16 days and my SIM is still not activated... With lots of efforts i was only able find out that these agents are not from Airtel but from Infomark solution

When i try to contact them, they don't even answer my call.

I contacted customer care number 121, They told me that their is no record of any such application and asked to contact the Agent/dealer who gv the SIM card.

They never pickup my call...

Name of the Agent who call me for postpaid connection is "Pinky" - [protected]

Their team leader's Name is "Neha" - [protected]

Agent who collected my document n gv me card is "Pretam Shetty" - [protected]

Plz can anybody tell me Where should i go.. how can i get refund... i don't want Airtel postpaid connection now...From Where can i get my MONEY BACK

Should i report it as a scam in police... or should i go to consumer forum..

If this is the service Airtel providing now... what should i except from them people in future...

Airtel will loose many of its customers because of this "InfoMark solution"!

So guys beware of InfoMark Solution and Airtel

Airtel outgoing blocked

I am using this Airtel number [protected] since last three years. In November I received messages and calls from airtel customer care asking me to submit identity proof and address proof for verification. As I have recently shifted to Delhi, I did not have any documents. It took time for me to get the PAN and Rent Agreement made. Since then I am wondering where to submit these papers? The vendor from whom I bought the SIM told me the address which I could not access due to my busy work schedule and also due unawareness of the places and convince in Delhi. On December 7th, When I recharged my phone with one month's validity, I found that my outgoing is already barred (though they did not forget to update the accounts). On January 10th, I could manage to find one Airtel spot at Sarita Vihar, H-Block Market. There I dropped the papers in drop box as told by the fellow there and also got the phone recharged with one month's validity. The accounts were cleared with immediate effect. I received the message of recharging but my outgoing is not started till today. These fellows are so quick in receiving the money but then dont ask for the services because even their data base recognizes only the money and not the services!

Before Delhi, at Aligarh, I used Airtel number. There, whenever we faced any problem, we consulted with customer care executive, who could be accessed by dialing 123-9. But now, I don't know how to talk directly to the cc executive. If you dial 121 in Delhi, only computerized voices will eat your time and patience out!
