Airtel post-paid — Extra Charges

Without my permission Airtel FM service has been activated on my number, for which I am paying a rental of Rs.30.00 from last 4 months. While calling for this complain diffrent answers are given by different executives. Out of my total bill 40% are the charges which are charged for different services.

Airtel Postpaid Mobile — bill related and cutomer care

Customer care sevices hv become extremely poor in the past few months. Despite several attempts one is not able to speak to customer care and if you do get thru they are not able to help at all. I requested to the customer care executive to deactivate my IR around 21 st July and sent an sms also to 121 to this effect but it is still active and when I sms to deactivate it I receive a message saying this service is not available on Prepaid mobiles currently. My connection has always been postpaid. Suddenly I get to know it may be registered as a prepaid. Signal is so weak that I am not able to use it properly and I had to use other service providers' services. Bill plan activated is 444 with 444 minutes of local and std mobile calls free but bill says only 75 minutes of local mobile calls free. Will somebody take notice and will somebody take care and help the consumers?

Thanks

Bharti Airtel — No rectification of extra charges levied

I am Susmita Chakraborty. I was holding a bharti Airtel connection with number [protected] for the period of August 2006 - March 2008. I was holding the 1100 advance rental plan. When I renewed the plan on January 2008, they charged me with the advance rent of 1100 for that month. The next month they came up with an extra 1200/- added in the bill. When repeatedly enquired they claimed that the money is charged as the bill of January 2007(one year back !!!) as they had updated the system after one year and they discovered thta I had not paid the sum one year back.

This is really rediculous as I always pay the bill on time. And it sounds illogical also that they did not charge me for any usage on the very same month, but after 1 year !!!

I had asked for a adjustment of the amount, but it was not done. So, I did not pay for the extra sum and left the connection after paying the usage of that month.

Now they are telling me that they are taking legal action against me for not paying the bill of 1200/- ...but I think I need to take some action against them for all this harassment.

Airtel Postpaid Mobile — Airtel Bloating mobile bills.. customer care sucks

Complaint #18808828.

I have been having problems with airtel mobile voice quality, i can't hear the person at the other end when i make a call & i hear only distortion noice but not the voice at the other end and the same happens when the other person calls me.. this was happening for last 3 months and once in a while i use to get through.. and all the other times though the call was completed i had to keep shouting hello heloo.. & hang up in vein.. irrespective of the place, city i was, as i spend my weekends in chennai as my wife has delivered a baby recently.. & you know how important it is to stay connected at these times.. in the beginning i assumed it was my phone problem i switched 3 new phones same problem 2 nokia & 1 samsung it didnt help later i got a new sim, that didnt solve the problem too, thats when i guessed its problem from airtel.. and on october 15th i raised this complaint #18808828
No resolution has been provided till date, its been more than 2 weeks, though the turn around time was 2days, only a compensation of 300rs discount by the manager sarla, was done that too it would reflect in my next month's bill it seems.. hopefully, i hav no clue of whats happening at the airtel end.. however the calls get charged for which i havent made use of.. & every incoming call.. i end up calling them back.. from my landline.. which is again airtel.. thus i'm in soup were.. i'm getting no resolution from airtel.. & simply paying for wat i havent used.. no wonder bharti ceo's all over media talking about the huge quarterly profits he has made.. this is how ter buisness model works.. jus milk the customers who fall in airtel loop.. somebody save indian consumers.. who are taken fr ride even by big players like airtel

Airtel — excess service charges charged

i have a prepaid lifetime connection of airtel from many years. today i went to airtal showroom at sahara mall mg road gurgaon, the office was closed and there was nobody there. airtel has installed a automated billing machine there, i deposited rs. 200/ to get top up in my phone, and i recieved only rs. 103/ talk time . WHY . I then called at customer care at 8.30pm [ although it is very very difficult to get an executive on 121]AND MOREOVER AS OTHERS SAY CUSTOMER CARE IS A BIG WASTE OF TIME] i had similar experiense .
I talked ot one officer named MR. ASHVANI [ NOT GOT SATISFIED ] HE TRANSFERED ME TO MR PIYUESH. who had no manners, doesnt know how to deal with customer, his RUDE behaviour as if i was asking him for money from his pocket . any ways he angin transfered my call to his senior MR. SACHIN, you know what both of them told me that had i recharged for rs. 198/, i would have got talktime for rs 180 / or something like tha . and since i paid rs.200/ i got rs.103 / -----what is this policy -- he told me tha this is immetrial weather you are lifetime or a regular customer.
sir being a lifetime connection clint why should one pay rs.97 / as service charge and tax.
THERE IS NO BOBY TO LISTEN TO CUSTOMER IN AIR TEL .--------AND THIS PRACTICE OF MINTING MONEY IS ABSURD.

Airtel Postpaid Mobile — Airtel blocked numbers and customer care officers created fraud

Dear Sir,
From around the mid of Nov 2008, my wife and I realized we were not able to make calls to each other. We thought it was a normal network issue, but on 8th of Dec 08, I raised the complaint with Airtel Customer Care facility on phone. We hold a plan where in we are given 600 minutes of mobile to mobile local calls free. Out of this, we use the major chunk between the two o[censored]s.
After 8th of Dec, I had make hundreds of calls to Customer Care with no reply from them, even they did not call me back whenever they promised. They created new complaint every time I called them, deleitng the old complaint to reduce the life of the complaint. Meanwhile, the calls problem continued, with occasional success during late night and early morning hours.
I can share the e-mails exchanged between them and me which can prove that the blocking was a deliberate fraud and not a technical problem.
They unblocked one side in late Decemebr even till Sunday 11th of Jan, my wife is not able to make calls during important hours of the day. I am not using the number since Monday 12th Jan 2009.

Please help.
Thanks,
Hrishikesh Deshpande
