Hi,

I'm sanjana subbaiah. I stay in bengaluru. I'm using airtel 3g pre-paid with mobile number [protected]. For the last 3 months, i'm receiving calls from unknown numbers requesting to speak to mr. Vishal with mobile number [protected]. They all are dialing [protected] number and it is getting redirected to my number [protected]. I get more than 6 calls per day due to this cross connection issue. I have raised a complaint with the airtel customer care but they were unable to help me out on this issue.

Please look into this complaint.

    With respect to the complaint raised on july 24th

    A irtel — airtel dth connection - requested refund - not got - no one contacted


    Divyanair1 on jul 24, 2017
    Phone/mobile number: [protected]

    I had taken a new dth connection online on 3th june this year
    I waited for so many days. No one called me for installation. Then again i called multiple times to their customer care. No on e helped. Finally i raised a request for cancellation. Then someone called and said they will install, i said them to proceed with cancellation as it was already 9 days after i bought it and no one came for installation.

    They accepted it and promised me that they will give a refund in 7 working days. It has been 23 days now, i have been calling them 3 to 4 times on a daily basis to get my money back. No luck.
    Such pathetic service they have.

        Hi
        I airtel sell their broadband connection by providing wrong information that speed i got is minimum 8 mbps but after that i got 1 mbps speed. When i contact customer care they said we are working on that and soon you will get updated speed. They are upgradwe technology in my area last week they inform me that technology upgraded and when i ask for update my speed they said it is not possible because your maximum speed is 2mbps.

              I purchase a new sim of airtel in rs. 450 because they were giving 84 gb of free 4g net and free calling for 3 months. Instead only 2gb of 3g net and 1 month of free calling was given. I had also registered a complaint to them before but no action has been taken. Any clear call center no. Or customer care number where i can talk to someone regarding same is also unavailable on internet and no response on toll free no.

                    I am issuing stop payment to the cheque issued for new broad band connection under 999 plan, the reason is your people here are totally misguiding us as i am eligible for 40 mbps speed and uninterrupted service. But after your representative visited me to get the documents and cheque now they say after verifying there is defect in the box and it will take some time for rectification and only after that that the connection will made through and apart from that the feasibility in my area is only up to 16 mbps. I am really surprised and upset tp hear from your people the beginning itself is not good and how can i expect an uninterrupted broadband from your side since i am a customer of bsnl for the last 30 years and there is no problem with except the speed and i intend to switch over to you only for the speed and your people bungled at start itself as reducing my speed eligibility from 40 to 16 mbps and that too only after sometime. So i am really upset with your promises and hence i am not switching over to you

                        I had sent the following msg on 01.08.2017 at 3.49 pm. No response till 03.08.17- 9.15am
                        Why this late? Is 01.08.2017 and 02.08.2017 are declared as holidays for airtel? Clarify and further action atleast now itself.

                        My message on 01.08.2017 3.49 pm for your reference:-

                        I think, another (Trial to) cheat by airtel. (Thanjavur office) during purchase when paid rs. 450.00, they told that, they will give 84 gb data for 84 days from the date of activation.84 gb data is not yet activated, even after nearly a week of. Activation of sim.
                        Necessary action now itself, before 6.00 pm on 01.08.2017 pl. No mobile call. Contact by email only for future ref.

                          Hi,
                          I want to disconnect my Airtel broadband service please disconnect it as soon as possible. I took airtel broadband connection along with my roommates 6 months before, now everyone has vacated so I felt unnecessary of having WiFi connection for single person. Right now I'm using airtel 349 prepaid plan and satisfy with that service.
                          So please disconnect my broadband service.

                              Hi, i had applied and collected an additional sim from airtel, kengeri main road outlet. This was an additional sim. I had given an alternative number, upon insistence from the airtel personnel at the outlet. I had indicated my reluctance in giving an alternate number.

                              However was shocked to realise that there was a call from airtel to the alternate number indicating that it was an address verification call. Asking vague questions.

                              Airtel should be calling my number for the address verification, and not the alternate number.

                                Dear sir/madam
                                This is to bring into your notice that i jitendra kumar singh have ported my mobile no. [protected] from idea to airtel and that time your executive came to me for payment & document collection and taken from me all the kyc documents and rs300 as activation and rs250 as security deposit. And told me that this will refelect in my postpaid bill of next month. Now when i had enquired about all that i came to know that the person taken money from me fraudly by cheating and no such payments has been made by that executive. After knowing everything i several times called that person for the money receipts but that person neither receiving my calla nor responding properly. As i myself an advocate of high court cuttack if i dont get any resolution i will file a case in consumer court positively.
                                In such manner i may be bound to file a case of fraud against your company so please look into the matter and do the resolution as soon as possible.

                                Thanks & regards

                                        Terrible terrible service, it's been over a year since we have been complaining. We pay a hefty monthly bill for internet which most often does not work, additionally the mobile internet bill goes up because of the flaky broadband - so double the bill for shorty service. This time they've gone a mile ahead, switched our landline number with someone else's overnight; not really making a proactive effort to fix it now - did i mention field staff is rude as well!?

                                        Ps - the entire neighbourhood is facing similar concerns
