We are holding AIRTEL connection since the beginning of the AIRTEL service. But as it was declared in our country, that we can take portability from our existing connection to other Service provider. Therefore, we applied with IDEA to get our AIRTEL connection to be portable with IDEA in the Month of January 2011. But now, it is almost 5 months is going to be over, our portable with IDEA is still not activated, because AIRTEL service provider is refusing the approval every time by saying that we have a contract with AIRTEL, hence, we cannot do the portability to any other service provider. As per our knowledge there is no contract has been signed by us with AIRTEL at the time of taking connection with them. And also they are reasoning that the Unique Code is mismatch, so they cannot approve for the portability. This is to request you, that kindly give instruction to AIRTEL, that please allow us to get the portability from AIRTEL to IDEA. And please tell them to don't delay unnecessarily, as they have no rights to stop us to get the portability to other service provider. I came to know that if I complained this problem to consumer forum, then I will get the solution immediately, because consumer forum will answer us immediately. If you want to contact please call on my Landline no. 43251001/2

Hi,

This is to state that I got Airtel Landline Number[protected]. My name is Prateek Khandelwal. It is a long story, but I will try to summarize it. I have got this connection for so long now. I have made a request to shift this line as I shifted my house from Janakpuri to Uttamnagar. I was told that the "Box is Full" and the line could not be transferred and there were innumerable calls came for the same thing, even 6 times a day. I said what is the best option then because I wanted to retain the number and broadband service. They said, we will freeze your rental and no bill will come to you and at any time we find the box is free or if we have more request, we will fix the problem. I humbly agreed and thanked them for the same. This whole incident happened in the Month of Jan 2011.

Of note, I made a request at Jan 8, 2011 approximately for shifting and this all took time till Feb 2011 and I cleared all my dues till that time.

Now, I have changed that house in Uttamnagar just in three months due to some personal issues and shifted back to Janakpuri, so I contacted Airtel people again, so that I may get my connection back. Now, the sufferings start for me with Airtel. I have been told to deposit a bill of Rs 680/- at first as Bill for Jan 2011 (Which I never used, I told them thousand times this is not my bill and I am not supposed to pay it, but the executives were so rude and bad in their language that I can't even explain you, though I got one number of your executive [protected]), but ultimately I had to deposit that money only to get my connection back.

Then, I called customer care to put a new shifting request as I have cleared all my dues and here they come up new amount to pay of Rs 251/-. I again enquired this is not supposed to be paid and the same answer with that same tone from your people. I decided to raise that issue to concerned department, so I got opportunity to talk to so many executives at Bharti AIrtel, Okhala office, named Sakshi, Sapna, etc. I also got a chance to speak to Mr. Deepak who is their so-called senior and he assured me that the reversal will be made and then he never called back or came on phone again. I can say I at least called all these people regularly morning, afternoon, evening, just to know the status and they never took my concern to any level, nor answered me about any detail.

Well, finally I decided to pay Rs 251/- as I already lost so much of peace of mind plus other problems from office because of it and called the customer care department and they took the shifting request.

Now, the guy came from Airtel after 3-4 days and fix the cables, but did not put the splitter means neither the phone works, nor the internet and said the engineer will come and fix this. Now, it has been 5 days already and no engineer even called or showed up at my house. I made a complaint and reference number 46545136 was given to me with assurance that the person will come, but as usual he didn't. Yesterday, I again made a complaint and number is 46620220 and the deadline for this is tomorrow around noon time.

Adding a final nail to coffin, a SMS came to me stating that I am supposed to deposit Rs 98/- as amount outstanding on my bill.

Now, I know it is a pretty long mail, but it's all sufferings I got. I have a few questions for you, I would be highly obliged if you can answer these to me please and mind it this is for all of you guys to whom I am sending this mail.

1. WHY DO I NEED TO PAY THAT RS 680/- WHEN I DID NOT USE THE INTERNET FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME?
2. WHY THE PERSON WHO TOLD ME THAT THE ACCOUNT WILL BE FREEZED BUT THERE WILL BE CHARGES FOR IT, I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT ANY CHARGES WHATSOEVER?
3. WHY DID NOT THEY PROVIDE ME ANY BILL OF ANY SORT OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED DUES TILL DATE?
4. IS THE KIND OF SERVICE ONE SHOULD EXPECT FROM A PROMINENT BROADBAND SERVICE PROVIDER IN DELHI, COUNTRY'S CAPITAL?
5. WHY ANY OF THE EXECUTIVES NEVER TOOK THE CONCERN TO THE CONCERNED DEPARTMENT AND WHY THE PICTURE WAS NOT CLEARED AT THE VERY FIRST MOMENT, WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED?

Now, please tell me if you are wise person, then why would you go into so much hassles just to get your old connection back when you know you can get a new connection in less than Rs 1000/-. Now, I have paid around Rs 1000/- to you people, still Rs 300/- to be paid as shifting charge and Rs 98/- which just have come for no reason out of nowhere. Please put your donation banks out on every street, religious places, etc, because there I think people won't mind paying. This is a real crime and I would like to take this issue to everywhere I can.

Now, after going through this mammooth mail (I still don't trust you people would go through this whole) I would like to see some actions from your side, otherwise I would like to withdraw all services from Airtel in future, be it Mobile, DTH or broadband.

Also, You can read this whole mail on the blog site of "Jago Grahak Jago"

Dear Sir/Madam
I refer to the prepaid number which my Family had for more than 11 years. telephone number 0-[protected]- and this being a easy to remember number has been taken away from us without any notification and has been disconnected by airtel . I have visited airtel customer relationship centre. made numerous phone calls and they said they have no idea why this number has been stopped. and now recently I have been told by the local relationship centre that this has been in the market for any new customer may be because this number should be the one which should be given to someone with VIP personality.
This is ridiculous and customer has no right to do anything and the mobile companies like AIRTEL are doing what they want to do whenever they want to do and customer has got no right to know or do anything.

I am really sad and disappointed with this.

Hi I am nikhil using airtel no [protected] using prepaid service from last 5 years.

Due to airtel poor customer care services and unwanted dedutions I was porting to other operator , i.e.From airtel to vodafone and I had already paid the porting charges.

On[protected] I got a call from Airtel customer care that will provide me a plan i.e. 1 paise/6 sec Airtel-Airel & 1 paise/2 sec others plan, free of charge without any Deductuion for 6 months and 50rs talktime, to activate above plan I was asked to cancel my porting by sending an sms Which I did and i was told my new service will be activated within 24 hours.

My current plan was per sec deduction which is 1 paise/sec for all local and std calls .
On[protected] I received 50 rs balance but my prepaid plan was changed to some thing else i.e. 60paise /min for local calls, so now if I talk for 10 sec it charges me 60 paise previously for which I was charged .10 paise. On[protected] I had called customer care and registered my complaint Complaint no : [protected] & the person told me it will be solved & the difference balance will be credited in my account on[protected] till 11 a.m. but still I am facing the same problem after that I complainted thrice but still facing the same problem.

I mailed the complaint to nodal officer but from there i didnt received any respone .I am really disappointed due to such problems created by airtel and not full filling the Commitment made by Airtel. I hope I will be heard here and my problem will be solved as soon as possible,

regards,
Nikhil Jirapure.
