[Resolved]  Airtel — Odd Billing Cycle

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

This is an odd issue which even Airtel folks are unable to explain to me. The Airtel bill arrives promptly on 26th of every month, and sometimes I miss paying the bill because it was difficult for me to keep track of these bills, and as other household bills arrive at the beginning of the month. Hence, I requested Airtel to send the bill on 5th of every month, for which every one from top to bottom at Airtel are referring to a mysterious "policy" or that the bill is "pre-determined". As a customer, I simply do not understand why their system lacks this flexibility to accommodate this request. Are they really fit to be a national player in broadband if they cannot address small issues like these. There used to be a time where customer was the king. Now the way Airtel responds it appears as if they want to quit this industry ASAP.

I am showing the transcript of my communications with them down below. This is just to show the great lengths I have gone to try to get a job done, and the apathy of the existing Airtel setup.

Hi,



I do not understand what policy is being referred to here?



Is the customer supposed to cancel the services again with Airtel, and get
airtel services again to get a convenient billing cycle?



Thanks and regards,

Hi,



So far everyone related to Airtel is expressing regrets but not providing
concrete reasons as to why this cannot be done. Please advise.



I intend to take Airtel to consumer court on this one if flimsy reasons are
provided again.



Thanks and regards,
