I have changed to prepaid to postpaid in April under MyPlan Family, I am using an HTC One M8 device in which I was able to use 4G when I was using prepaid. At first, they said it might be a SIM fault, Please change the SIM and report back to us. I changed the SIM on 17th April and the problem was not yet resolved. Then they gave some instructions on troubleshooting my device and they said they will do the same on their end. I changed all related Mobile Settings/Internet Settings as instructed by them. I have even tried using the same SIM in other devices and there was no avail as it was not working. I used another Airtel SIM in my device and 4G works up to the mark.
I have raised 9 complaints regarding the same, The first one(SR No.[protected] was dated on 15th April 2017 and the latest one(SR No.[protected] was dated on 4th May 2017. Whenever I call them they will acknowledge the complaint and the relevant team will call you within 48 hours of time. The relevant team never calls and sends a message stating, (We tried calling you to update on the Network complaint against your airtel mobile, but we were unable to reach you. We will call back again.). As far as I can remember, My device was up and working at that time. Every time I complain, I mention that I am able to use Data Services. I am getting H+/H and the speed is less than 1Mbps. They ask if I am facing this issue in a single location or every location. I say I face this issue wherever I go and they acknowledge it. Now after two days, The team who handles my request changed the Status and in the details column and they close it by stating it as a Non-Network Issue/ Mismatch resolved. They don't even call the customer to check if the issue has been resolved or not. If by chance they call the customer, Sir, It was a technical issue from our side. We have fixed it. Please switch off your device, remove your SIM and wait for 20 minutes before inserting it back again. They do this and close the complaint just to avoid facing the customer again.
Every time I call the customer care executive or Nodal Authority, They say we have escalated your complaint. You have to wait for maximum 48 hours before it gets fixed and I will call back to check on it. They just say that so we can get off their backs. When I ask them, I have already waited for 500 hours and still my issue is not resolved, They reply with Sir, It is a network issue it will take some time. I will be following this on my end and make sure I get back to you. When I ask the Customer Care(121/198) to connect me to the Network team, They say we cannot do it, sir, as it is not in our hands. I will raise and request and the network team will definitely contact you within 48 hours of time. When I do ask them What is they don't contact me within the stipulated time? Their answer is so vague, We will make sure they contact you sir and if they don't contact you please call us again. Now when I call the customer care again, They say you have to wait for 48 hours again to receive a call, sir. This is their so called professionalism towards the customer. Give them a time and tell them to wait so they won't bother us again. Tactic to avoid the customer and loot him by declining the services subscribed by the customer.
