Aircel Ref No:1-[protected]
I am Aircel post paid customer (Mobile No [protected]) for more than 5 years. All these years I am regular in paying my bill. Credit limit for my number is
Rs 4500. My last month bill was Rs 1165, which I paid before the due date. I went to karnataka on 25th December and came back to Chennai on 30th December. When I was in Bijapur, karnataka my phone got connected with Tata docomo 3G network and I used near 1.7 GB data in 3G network.
In my account 3G bundle is already activated. Every month I pay extra for that. Once I cross my limit I get a warning message from aircel and after that my connection become slower.
On 28th December, I went to Bangalore and noticed that my phone was unable to connect with any network. I am a Chief doctor of Chettinad Medical college, I got shocked because I routinely receive hospital and patient calls since I am in essential service.
Some how I manged my calls with maximum difficulties. I thought it's some roaming network issue and it will be solved once I reach chennai also I was not able call customer care from my number.
30 th December I reached Chennai I got connected with the network but when I made out going calls I got a message that my outgoing calls are barred.
Immediately on the same day I called Aircel customer care after explaining the issue the customer service executive told me a shocking news that I need to pay Rs 19000 than only my connection will be activated.
I got mentally wounded by that reply since I am a good customer. I asked him to connect me to higher authorities then he connected me to Mr.Ponraj after explaining everything to him, he made me wait for one hour and finally told me that I used data in 2G that's why I got such a bill. First of all I was not aware of this issue second I used only 3G network, I told him that and also agreed that I am ready to pay whatever is my credit limit and asked him to activate my account immediately, he asked me to wait till 5th Jan ie 8 days with out using my number, then only he can sort out this issue.
I was waiting with all difficulties and with great displeasure till that time, and called on 5th again to Aircel customer care. This time Ms.Fathima attended my call, she didn't give connection to Mr.ponraj, After explaining everything she finally asked me to wait till 8th Jan to solve my issue. When I contacted 8th Jan, today she told that she can't do anything in this issue and asked me to mail to [protected]@aircel.co.in
Because of this I am being insulted mentally by Aircel people as well my work and patient care also affected a lot. I don't even have ISD facility in my mobile for this extraordinary charge.
My questions are
1.In my account already 3G pack is active and I used only 3G why they are blamming me that I used 2G?
2.Why I didn't get any warning message regarding my quota?
3.If I crossed my limit why they didn't disconnect my connection when I crossed my credit limit?
4.Why they are not very transparent about the roaming charges?
5.When there is a credit limit if at all any mistake done by the customer you can charge that but how you expect a customer to pay this enormous amount?
6.When I was in Bijapur, Karnataka I bought 600MB roaming 3G data in my Airtel mobile number which was only Rs 102
that means, for 1800 MB data the normal charge is Rs 306 but for that why they are charging me Rs 19, 000 plus.
The place where I am staying is SIPCOT siruseri, L and T Eden park, here Aircel network is not at all availble so, when I reach my home I get all my calls in only in call Transferred Airtel number.
Since I am working in Chettinad Medical college, they are preferred network and our closed user group network that's why I am using their connection without any complaints.
Sometimes when the electricity goes down in our institution their connection will not work. At least one to two days in a month we don't get Aircel network in our hospital. Had so much difficulties earlier, I was tolerating but this is a very big issue.
I don't have any other go other than approaching this issue legally and want to make a severe complaint in consumer forum as well as in Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.
Now they totally disconnected my incoming also. For the past 23 days I am suffering a lot.
We regret the inconvenience caused. Kindly share the following details in order to look into your issue::
