Airtel activation issue

Hi There,

This is Vineet Tripathi, own Airtel Karnataka Postpaid number [protected]. I lost my mobile along with sim card on 17th April 2008, so requested Airtel to bar calls and sms till I get a new sim card. On 25 Apr 2008, I was issued a new sim card and on the same day the sim was activated as per Airtel however I am unable to receive and make calls and SMS service is not working as well. I kept calling the customer care of Airtel for 7 continuous days innumerable times irrespective of me being in roaming and was told by different floor managers like poornima, Purna, Aravind, Azaharuddin, Sameer, Hemant the same old thing that there is some technical issue, mismatch of numbers due to which I was getting the automated message "SMS and CALL services are barred due to expired validity date' while trying to make calls and they have issued a high priority case to technical team to resolve the matter and I would get a call within couple of hours however as expected never received one.

Then when I called them again to know the status of the card, i got the status that Technical team tried reaching me on "[protected]" and the mobile was not working. One can understand the kind of sincerity that technical team tried reaching on the number which is problematic.

I have been calling to get the status and everytime i have been assured that my problem will be resolved in couple of hours by floor manager (Name mentioned above) and they will give me call back. None of the time i recieved any call from these people nor my problem have been resolved till this movement.

In addition to this, i have been advised to replace my sim card, which i have done couple of time and still do not see that problem is resolved.

This being my number from last 6 years, my work is being impacted and not able to work properly. Since last 6 years, I made sure that none of the time there is delay in the payment of the bill so that I continue reciveing good service from Airtel.

I am really disappointed to see the kind of service is being delivered to customer like me and the professionalism at Airetel side.

I would like to escalate the issue to highest authority to resolve this issue.

My alternate contact number is : [protected]

Regards,
Vineet Tripathi

Airtel about gprs monthly rental.

Dear sir,
I am using Airtel's GPRS services to connect internet since long and using their Rs. 249-/ monthly rental plan.
Some time back, I realised that they are not giving me full one month of service as told me by their customer care executive.
So I started keeping my account records.
In the month of April they deducted Rs. 249/- on 8th and
In the current month that is May, they deducted Rs.249/- on 2nd.It means that they are giving me just 25 days service against their promised 30 days.
The very same day I tried to contact their customer care but there is no one to interact, just a 121 sms service through which a customer can send their complain maximum in 130 words and i also sent mine.I also tried to contact their office through net and sent them my complain at "[protected]@airtel.in" .
I also tried to call their nodal officer Atif Rashid Umarrizvi
at his given number at their site, but it was allways in off mode.
So I also mailed him at " nodalofficer.[protected]@airtel.in", but till this time their is no response from them.
Kindly look into this matter and help me. The number through which I am using gprs service is "[protected]" .
Thanking you,
Yours,
Kumar Vijayant Singh,
Chapra, Bihar, Pin--841301.

Airtel landline blocked for 3 months

I am a subscriber of your landline and internet services since October 2007.
The landline and internet services had been disconnected on feb 25, 2008 after paying the outstanding payments.I contacted the customer service centre but they were not able to give me the exact reason as to why the landline had been disconnected.After a few weeks the internet connection had been reinstated but the landline is still not working.
My mother passed away on april 12, 2008 and that is the time when i needed the connection badly.Despite placing hundreds of complaints no action has been taken till date but i'm getting the bills regularly.I have never experienced such horrible service.
Please tell me whether you will take any immediate action in this regard or whether i have to look for other alternatives.
Regards
Jeena Jacob

I have filed in the form on 9th Jan 2007 for getting broadband connection. The executive was following every 1 hour till I fill in the form. I filled in the form once the executive told me that they can provide a connection and it is available. After filling the form, I have heard back from the executive, also I have to call him everyday. Now I get reluctant answers saying that it will take time. They have deposited the cheque for registration and hence giving the reluctant answers and sometimes no answers.

Moreover they stole my mobile phone worth thousands when they came to home for wiring. Is there feedback form available and I would like to lodge a police complaint because they took the sim card from the phone and yet to give it back. The executive name was Madhavan and his mobile number is [protected]. Its pain to know that it will take time for the connection, they say it may take months.

NOW IT IS 14TH SEPT 10.20PM AND I HAVE NOT RCD ANY CALL AS YET. I M SO MUCH DISGUSTED WITH THE BEHAVIOUR OF YOUR PEOPLE .

Its really sad to hear your situation. I thought Airtel was cheating and stealing money from our accounts using technology. But now from your case its shocking to hear that their employees have gone to the extent of even stealing things from their customer's places! Do register a police complaint and also send emails to the chairman and CEO of Airtel about their employee's behavior. Don't delay in filing a police complaint.

Airtel bill payment issue

II was having a postpaid connection of airtel (Airtel Number) [protected] from last 2-2.5 years and have been making a regular payment online through internet

I carried the number with me when I went abroad and made a payment of my transaction in Nov 2007 after which I did not made any payments as I did not receive any bills.

I changed the address and gave the contact number of my family for any issue/concern when suddenly I heard that a lady named “Simran” from airtel is calling them and harassing them continuously

I talked to the lady from USA couple of times and asked her to first open my online account so that I can make an early payment but she said it is closed and she cannot, then I asked her to send the copy of my bill at my email id for verification. Similarly I had a talk with the customer care representative While I was talking with the lady named "Simran" from airtel customer care service and was dealing with the issues through email with someone name 'Anil Kohli" from airtel(mail id [protected]@rediffmail.com) my parents panicky informed me that some lawyer has called up and had asked them to made a payment as some case has been filed against me at teeashazari court in delhi and there will be lot of issues if I don't make the payment. My parents hurriedly made a payment of [protected](Bill amount)+1300(lawyer fee))

Can somebody from airtel tell me as why these happened when I was trying to make a payment, I did not got the chance to verify the details before which my parents had to forcefully made a payment and why I had to pay the fee for the lawyer when I was not escaping from making a payment How can I make a payment if don't receive the bill I don't validate it.

This is sheer harassment since I am not in India and airtel guys were harassing my parents those who don't know actually what happened.

I want someone from airtel to reply or otherwise I will take the case to consumer court for mental harassment and forcefully issuing a case against me and taking the money

Airtel connection delayed by 2 weeks

I had applied for a Broadband connection (Application No.BA0091708) on 19.Apr.08 through one of your Sales Officers (Sameer Hipparagi - [protected]), but till today I have no update from your end.

Am extremely displeased with Airtel services and wish I had not approached you for a conenction. I was promised to have the connection up in 5 days but no word from your end, until the 7th Day I had to call Sameer and tell him not to process the application further as Airtel could not keep up their promised.

I have however given time for the connection installation by 29th EOD, but still no intimation from Sameer. Kindly look into the matter immediately and update me.

Airtel cancellation of mca facility

I possess a prepaid connection taken on my mother's name. I have been using it for the past two year. I had subscribed for hello tunes and picture messages. About three months ago I had unsubscribed for picture messages. Then about 25 days back i started getting the picture messages again.

I tired contacting 121 their customer care number but no response as it is automated and takes too much of time. I called a post paid customer care executive who was not helpful either and only told me to get back to 121. On the third inquiry with the post paid customer care executive i was given a number [protected] which no one was picking up. After searching on the internet. I got a toll free number 600 600 for problems related to recharge of prepaid an amount of six bucks was deducted from my prepaid account. I then searched for the email id which was [protected]@airtelindia.com.

I sent them a mail with my grievance and asked them to return my cash which was deducted from my prepaid amount as well return the other amount for prepaid messages as I had unsubscribed for the picture messages and without my assent they had started sending it again. The amount available on my card is over. But the irony is that i do not receive any picture messages and am having a negative balance -16.73 which keeps increasing by 1 daily.

So much for automated systems and so much for customer care. I guess if i recharge i will lose the entire amount only on the negative balance which I do not understand for what it is being deducted.

Beware people!

My internet bill increases daily by Rs.50 without using it.This is very strange and now my bill amount is more than Rs.4000/- I called airtel customer care to correct the bill, instead of correcting they are saying you are using it.Honestly, I stopped using it when I got unbilled alert saying your unbilled amount is around Rs.2000/-I have no option, but to complaint in TRAI.I had asked airtel to resolve it otherwise will lodge complaint in TRAI.If anybody can help me to resolve this, will be very much appreciated.-Sushilkumar([protected])

Hello, I am Satish Gurram, My complaint number logged with broadband customer care is [protected].
Airtel Broadband sales representatives are doing a fraud business, if the broadband plan is 1100 the sales person have collected 1600 from me and due to no feasibility for providing the connection to my home then I requested for refund of amount.

I got only 1100 refund then i called many times to customer care but no correct response.
My question is who is responsible for another 500. i have escalated and i have given the sales person name and number but no action and resolution for this.

please resolve my issue and instruct your sales persons to do these type of fraud things.

Sales person name and number is Dinesh-[protected]

HELLO! THIS IS TO BRING TO YOUR KIND NOTICE ABOUNT THE MISGUIDENCE FORM YOUR GALLARY PEOPLE AT VASAI WEST. I W’D LIKE TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THE WRONG CUSTOMER SERIVE PRACTICE FROM YOUR SIDE AOUBT THE CHANGE IN TARRIF PLAN. YOU DON’T HAVE A PROVISION IN YOUR SO CALLED BUSINESS TO INFORM THE CUSTOMER IN ADVANCE ABOUT THE CHANGE OR THE DISCONTINUATION OF ANY TARRIF PLAN. THE PLAN WHICH I WAS USING FROM YOU IS 72 PAISA PER MIN FOR CALLS IN INDIA. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN CHARGED RS. 1/MIN FROM 13 APRIL 2012. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY INFORMATION FROM U. YOU DIDN’T SEND ANY SMS OR EMAIL TO ME. YOUR SO CALLED CUSTOMER EXE. AT YOU VASAI WEST GALLARY ARGUED, THAT THE SMS WAS BEEN SENT TO ME WHICH I DID’T RECEIVE. HAVING ASKED, THEY (MR. FAIZ & THE EXE. SMITA FROM YOU MALAD OFFICE) SAID THAT IT (SMS) MIGHT HAD DROPPED IN THE AIR DUE TO THE NETWORK PROBLEM. THIS WAS A FAKE EXCUSE THEY PUT TO ME. HAVING ASKED ABOUT THE SMS RECORDS WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO SEND FROM YOUR COMPANY TO THE CUSTOMER ABOUT ANY INFORMATION SUCH AS CHANGE IN TARRIF PLAN, YOUR EXECUTIVES REFUSED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO ME. THIS WAS JUST ARROGANCE TOWARDS THE LOYAL CUSTOMER LIKE ME. ALSO, THEY WERE NOT SHOWING ANY RESPECT TO ME. I AND MY HUSBAND WERE DISCUSSING WITH YOUR PEOPLE FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS, BUT YOUR PEOPLE SHOWED UTMOST INGRATITUDE TOWARDS US. AS YOU DON’T HAVE ANY RECORDS AOUBT THE CUSTOMER’S SMS FROM THE COMPANY AND JUST MINTING OFF MONEY IN THE NAME OF TARRIF CHANGE WHICH I NEVER DID, I W’D SAY YOU ARE CHEATING THE CUSTOMER AND NOTHING ELSE! YOU SHOULD SUPPOSE TO INFORM THE CUSTOMR WHEN YOU START CUTTING OFF THE CUSTOMER’S MONEY UNDER THE NEW TARRIF PLAN WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF. I HAVE BEEN CHARGED RS.1 PER MIN FOR CALLS FROM 13 APRIL 2012. YOU FAILED TO TELL ME, THAT WE SHOULD RECHARGE WITH RS. 43 FOR 3 MTHS TO GET THE 72 PAISA PER MIN BENEFIT FOR A CALL(PLANT TILL 13 APR). AND THIS IS JUST A SHEER CHEATING. YOUR ABOVE MENTIONED EXECUTIVES HAVE NO MANNERS TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM, WHICH YOU PEOPLE CREATED. ON ONE SIDE YOUR PEOPLE ATTRIBUTE TO THE BAD NETWORK FOR NOT REACHING THE SMS FOR CHANGE IN TARRIF TO ME. OTHER SIDE YOUR CUST CARE PEOPLE PUT AN AGUMENTS THAT I HAVE BEEN CHARGED RS.1 PER CALL BECAUSE I HAD ACTIVATED ‘DO NOT DISTURB’ AND ‘JOB ALERT’ SERIVCE WHICH I DIDN’T NOT DO. I DID’NT ACTIVATED ANY SINGLE SERVICE ON YOUR NETWORK. THIS IS JUST A SHEER CHEATING. ON THE CONTRARY, YOU HAVE ACTIVATED THEM FROM YOU SIDE AND NOT ME! AND THE FUN PART IS THAT ONE OF YOR PERSON FROM CC MR. KAUSHALENDRA SING SAID THAT YOU HAVE NOT PROVISIONED IN YOU POLICIES TO INFORM THE CUSTOMER ABOUT THE CHARGING HIM/HER UNDER A NEW TARRIF PLAN. ALSO, YOU HAVE NO POLICY TO INFORM ABOUT STOPPING ANY SERVICE. IS THIS THE WAY U DO THE BUSINESS? YOU KEEP BAMBARDING THE PROMOTIONS OF UR PRODUCTS TO US BUT NOT INFORMING THE CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE CHANGE IN SERVICES TOWARDS HIM OR HER. YOUR PEOPLR ARE SHOWING SO MANY DESCREPANCIES IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE COMPANY POLICIES, PRODUCT SERVICES AND THE CUSTOMER INFORMATIONS. ARE YOU AWARAE OF THAT? I THINK U PEOPLE GONNA MAD! IS THERE ANY GOOD SERIVICE REMAINED AT YOUR DISPOSAL? IS THIS THE CONDITION U CREATE TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE ON A LEGAR TRACK? YOU SUGGEST?

Airtel two sim of same numbers

Hi all,
I got airtel connection on 12th jun 2007

The validity of my old number is still running and it will xpire in 2009 jun.

What the hell is going on in airtel..

Somebody should do something.

Airtel limited service caption denial of access

0n 25th JUNE 2006 I fell unconscious on account of pulmonary thrombo embolism and was being carried to hyderabad in ambulance. On Maharashtra boundry my mobile stopped working and became dead. It became difficult to contact my relatives in Hyderbad. The phone did not start for one week until implant was deployed in my chest. I would be dead if my relatives on their own rushed to the gate of Apollo Hospital when my friends phoned up on thir own to my relatives. Now any time the phone says limited service only emrgency calls. Which calls are emergency calls in my case does Bharati know ?

Airtel data card not working

Dear sir,
I purchased airtel data card from chandigarh, sector 35, chandigarh, that is, pcmca card. My post paid no is [protected]. The total price of data card was rs3570. 00. But, i feel cheated as its almost one month since i purchased this card but it has not worked. Initially, i was sent to r. T sector 32, chandigarh. These people replaced the card & gave old card in return. But each time, its showing sim not inserted, sim becomes inactivated. I have already purchased sim card thrice. Morever, airtel staff at sector 35, chandigarh are totally unprofessional & indifferent. I am fed up with this airtel data card, it has caused lot of agony & loss to me. My address is:
Naresh jandial
H. No 3249 / 2, sector 35 - d,
Chandigarh.
My alternative mob no is [protected].
Looking forward for your intervention.
Thanks & regards,

The Customer Service of Airtel Post Paid Card is very poor. The Signals are very low and most of the time the phone is not reachable. The 24 hours customer service is also not to the mark as one has to wait for a minimum of 25 minutes to speak to a Customer Service Executive once you get through the connection. After the long wait, you got to have the patience of listening to all the product advertisements which may not pertain to your query and when you get through the queue after the long wait, the line gets disconnected.

The bills are also not dispatched on time and many a times are dispatched just before the due date, but the line disconnection is not delayed.

If the Customer Service needs to be given more attention and taken on a top priority as Satisfaction to Customers should be our MOTTO.

Airtel deduction of amount using shortcuts of airtel live

On 22nd April I had received a short cut through an SMS.
When I selected to see what it actually is, it closed and soon i received another SMS mentioning "Thank you for using Airtel Service" and when i checked my balance, Rs. 50 has been deducted from my account.

When I asked Customer executive they said that I have logged into the airtel live service and downloaded a game.
One of the customer executive argued about this that i have logged into airtel live which I didn't.

If they don't add the deducted amount into my account they will loose a good customer soon who used the service more than an year.

Airtel mobile billing issue

Hi

This is to inform you that Airtel has tested my patience to the core. The last 4 months were my worst experience with Airtel. I have never seen a customer is neglected in this way. The only person I found helpful to me was Venkatesh who claims to be the most senior person there. His work helped me only for 45 days. After that I was like fish out of water.

First of all I would request Airtel to have good systems, because whenever I call I get a good and unarguable response saying that the system is under up gradation or there is some issue with system. I don’t know what the network engineers are doing there.

Now, my issue is being dragged from last 4 months. My outgoing is stopped at least 3 times a week, I have to call you and the same gets activated within 2 hours. Mine is a business phone and I cannot afford to be with out this for long time.

I was promised many call backs but received only 2 out of 20. Rather off late even Venkatesh was not able to keep his promise as he promised yesterday that my out going and incoming will start within 24 hours. But it has not happened until I have posted this complaint.

Moreover I have to ask my son to solve this issue for me. Since I cannot call Airtel form my land line and pay for the calls which are scheduled to be toll free from a mobile. If I would have called form my land line I would have paid more than what I’m struggling for. He with his busy schedule has to call you and talk about this issue.

With the pain, torture, and harassment which I have got in boon from Airtel I should get waiver of my complete current bill.

If not from my point of view, see this matter in your point of view.

Regards
S.K.Jhaver

Airtel pathetic airtel customer service

Inspite of telling to the supervisor that the payment would be made on 19-april-08, my outgoing calls were barred while i was on roaming, i missed out all my important calls becuase even the incoming calls were barred because i was on roaming...i want a callback from Airtel with explanation for the same..ASAP...Inspite of making 25-30 calls to customer service did not resolve my issue, my calls were disconnected, agent put my call on mute and did not speak anything, i was yelling but no one was listening to me, if this is the kind of service Airtel provides i would rather like to change my Service Provider...False Commitment, Non-Trustworty, Pathethic Customer Service, Unmannered Customer Reps, Long Hold time, Calls Disconnect, Hanging up the phone on customers...Shame on you, I want the matter to be escalated and want a callback from Seniour Authority.

This people hardly cares for the customer, i hv never ever got a chance to speak to them but now when i had issue, it was nightmare to tackle with them...it is one of the pathetic customer service i have ever seen i my life...

Airtel un necessary bills

We are software developer comapny as known NGBM Solutions Limited. We had taken airtel connections as single and multiple connections. Multiple connections have 10 telephone no. and one broadband connection with one a/c no. This connections were taken in Noida office but we have shifted to Model Basti, Karol Bagh in Delhi at 8/08/2007 . In Model Basti, Airtel Broadband facility was not available so we taked to MTNL Connection and application submitted to Sector 18 in Noida for canceal Airtel Connection, Its reason was shifting to other place. We got receiving of Application copy. We are sure that these no. will canceal and any bill not be generate in this month by Airtel. Due bills amount from 08/07/2007 to 07/08/2007 deposited by us. After two months we got a call from Airtel about next month due amount of bills. Bill amount was generate from 08/08/2007 to 07/09/2007. We have sifted to Delhi at 08/08/2007 so this bill was additional burdon for us. At least, we deposited this bill amount of Rs 3577 after geting confirmation that next bill will not be generate from Airtel.But we have cheated by airtel customer executive and next bill has generated from 08/09/2007 to 07/10/2007 by Airtel. More times called by Airtel Customer Care for deposit this bills and every time We have given reason to not deposited this extra bill and its again all documents have submitted to airtel office as Application receiving copy of canceallation connection, Receipts of Istrument deposit. After passed 6 monts we are geting phone calls from Airtel for case submit in Delhi Court. We are in more mindly tenstion. Please give advise about this problem

Hi,

I had an Airtel post pais corporate plan and i was looking for another post paid connection in the same corporate plan. I went to the Airtel Gallery and found out that if I take an Add on card on my previous number, the calling will be free between those two numbers but now when I have actually taken the other number, the company is charing me 10 paise per minute. They charged me 500 rs for the second sim promising that calls will be free between both the number whereas its not the case.
Customer service has always been pathetic, mostly their systems are down woth technical issues and they have a very bad Customer Service agents, they lack in training.

My mobile No is [protected]. I was told that by recharging with Rs. 33 my call rates will be reduced to 50 Paise min. But even after charging with Rs. 33 I am being charged @ Re 1 min for Airtel to Airtel. Now I cant even charge with Rs 95 for a month. Either the company is cheating or the dealer doesnt know the details.
