Sir, Your representatives from me have collected Rs. 400/- telling existing CUG customers are being given an opportunity of one more CUG for 6 monthly rental free and 75/- rent after 6moths. Believed on this I have paid RS 400/- but surprisingly your office demanding me to pay rent more than 280/- in two months after connection with other charges i.e more than 350/-. Sir, I submit that this issue is a serious concern from such a group of big organisation. Hence, I request you to kindly resolve the case and also I request you to deduct the amount I am due from my deposit of 400/- and seize the mobile no[protected] from now onwards and pay me balance amount. Sir, I request you to take care of such type of cheaters from your staff and they should be thrown away from your organisation.to safe gaurd the organisation. Regards, Bhima Shankar

i, TAPAN KUMAR DUTTA regular user of Airtel 4G connection (no. [protected]) was approached by one Airtel agent (ARB GLOBAL VENTURES, P-162 CIT SCHEME, KOL-54) to help me increase speed & stop frequent interruptions of my connection. In turn he convinced me to go for a new SIM & promised to give me trouble-free new connection. hence i agreed & applied for new connection 14.01.15. He informed that it will be activated in next 48hrs. He also told me to send mail to Airtel for disconnection of my existing no. [protected] which i did. after that i received call from Airtel service & wanted to know why i am disconnecting. i explained about my problem & informed above mentioned actions by Airtel agent. The service man told me not to disconnect existing connection & instructed me over phone how to reset my connection to get problems solved. i followed & found problems are eliminated. hence i wanted to follow his advises. he confirmed me that my connection ([protected]) will not be disconnected & my new request for connection (i got sms that new connection no [protected]) will be de-activated. once that is done, i started getting repeated calls from Airtel representatives (always thru phones whom i cannot trace). all the calls are for re-conneting of [protected]. i refused to do that. then i sent mails to Airtel '[protected]@in.airtel.com' & explained my entire problem. also requested to help me out. my only request is i have 1 dongol. i want to keep 1 connection i.e [protected]. i am still getting phones for reconnection of [protected]. i dont know who can help me. MY REQUEST TO AIRTEL IS PLEASE REFRAIN YOUR AGENTS FROM MISGUIDING GENUINE CUSTOMERS LIKE ME. LET US GET CORRECT ADVISE FROM THEM. I AM HAPPY WITH MY EXISTING CONNECTION [protected]. PLEASE KEEP IT. PLEASE DISCONNECT [protected], IF BY CHANCE CONNECTED. I SHALL NOT PAY FOR 2 CONNECTIONS AGAINST SINGLE DONGOL. REGARDS TAPAN KUMAR DUTTA ([protected])

Hello All, Please see the chain email below. I am using Airtel Broadband and Landline connection and every 3 months I face similar kind of issue of no internet either during 5~6 hours or complete blackouts. The following emails have been sent since I had no internet and telephone services for complete 5 days. And everytime such things happen it takes months to recognize and to get the bills waived off for no service. However, this time its a completely different story I have asked them some questions which they are not acknowledging and answering despite the fact I have sent out the emails in english and hindi. I am collating all the data at the moment i.e. all the email exchanges happened in past 3 years wherein Airtel has promised time and again for the non occurrence of issue but it keeps on repeating every 3~4 months. Need your help in getting my answers.

Got a call from Nodal Office who assured me that he will ensure that all the updates will be provided its been 16 days now no update has been provided by the Nodal officer 3) 25th and 26th Dec 2014 - Same status no internet no landline same response from the customer care 4) 26th Dec 2014 - During night time I called up customer care who confirmed that everything is up and running. 5) 27th Dec 2014 - Engineer visit premises and corrected the issue 6) 11-Jan-2015 - Internet went down at 03:36 AM and came back at around 01:00 PM total 10 hrs blackout. Here are a couple of question I hope you will be able to answer within next 48 hours and NO CALLS WRITTEN RESPONSES ONLY - 1) Why the customer care was giving a standard response? 2) It took 5 days to rectify the issue with my landline and internet down why? 3) Why their is never a notification on such issues through SMS or email however, in case of billings we start receiving the notifications prior to 3 days of due date? 4) I was supposed to send out 10, 000 emailers during christmas to the leads which I have with me and was not able to do so leading to potential loss of business in the month of January? Who is going to compensate for that? 5) Why Nodal officer did not provided with the updates? 6) Why the charges have been raised for no services I have lost on potential revenue because of the blackout you must also bear the brunt for the same? 7) Why I havent received any response till date on my last email? You have 48 hours to respond and a plan to compensate me in lieu of the potential clients which I have lost. I have had enough and cannot accept any such thing in future. Just in case I dont receive a suitable response I will take the next course of action. Wish you all the luck in responding to my email and queries. Thank You R.

Dear Team. I am Lakshminarayana Yuvraj, I am writing this to inform that I have a very very poor and pathetic service from airtel as well as your customer care representatives, Here is my short and unfair story. I am using the above number since 2012 September that is [protected], with individual plan, then on January 13th 2015 I decided to change to corporate plan, I work for Infosys since September 2013 and now I thought just to change apart from this my wife also use airtel prepaid and I wanted to opt for corporate plan, I submitted all the documents on 13th at airtel office in Infosys, some one came to verify at my office around 4pm on14 th which was all fine and the network collapsed on 15 the Thursday, I called airtel and they asked me to confirm my present address and it is. 17/1 Anjaneya temple street cubbonpet Bangalore- 56002. Later on Friday my friend called and informed some one called to verify my address and shred the number who called he had very strong kannada accent, which I am sure he was fit for nothing but absolute crap and dumb. The above address is my in-law's address where I am living at the moment, and later a lady called me from [protected] and trust me she has a very strong accent and spoke to me in HITLERS tone, which I understood that was her cheap standard but felt pit how Airtel like a company hire people like that? She informed that they were not able to find my place, and asked me to stay in home and will send some one I informed that I was at a work and I will not be able to make it during day time and she disconnected, if I was airtel I would slap that lady and kick her out of the company, that is not customer service and that is absolute bull . Now the actual problem started my wife line did not got connected when I called airtel they informed that it will take seven working days? Every one gives me different dates as they wish. On Friday 16 th night Round 11:40 pm I got TXT to say that my outgoing will be disconnected that was crook, well I called support people on Saturday early morning at 5am and the guy informed me to ignore the sms and will have some one call me, no one called I called again at 8 am and spoke to Noor she gave some ref no and informed that she will have some manager will call me within 4 hours and again no one called, this morning Sunday I try to call my line and was gone Please explain who is responsible for this???? I called again with no hopes to your support group and spoke to bunches of dumb people give me all false promise for call back and no one is ready to take action against to resolve the issue. At last I called with full frustration and spoke with advisor to put it through manager and spoke to some one from North Indian, he informed that he will take care and again same 4 hours false promise, Basically my fone is cut, I can immediately switch over but it's Sunday again and I am travelling from Mysore to Bangalore and busy with my audit work, please tell me who should I come and slap for first, weather, how, how much, will u as a company the whole will compensate my time, values frustration, High BP, I can't request any more, all I want some one to slap on my behalf to all of them who involved in not getting my issue resolved and have some genuine persons call me and get things sorted, I will definitely not leave it here, will also have my solicitor involved. If possible I wish to have this sent to topest level escalation. Sent from my iPad

This is the second time I am writing this and 5th time I am going to explain all over together. It has been now 6 days that I have recharged my blackberry with 401 INR but I am still without the Internet services. I have got a message that Airtel will get back to me in 2 days but I have not heard anything. I had to explain this thrice over the phone at Airtel no 7070 where I got to speak with manager name Megha who cold transfer me to another department. Now I have no doubt that you guys don't communicate with each other. What a pathetic customer service has delivered by Airtel . And I am failed to understand that what in this world will take to start the bloody internet service on my blackberry handset. I have sent several messages as well to 121 to get the services activated but again no response. On the top of my blackberry headset I still see a message that 'Activation is required'. This is ridicules, totally disgraceful. I will take it further now if I don't hear anything by day end tomorrow. [protected] Vineet Kashyap

Hello, My mob. no is [protected], I recently submitted application to convert prepaid to postpaid on 6th-Jan. By 13th-Jan I did successful verification of address and card should have been up and running with postpaid service thereafter, but instead of that Airtel blocked my prepaid and postpaid service altogether. In-fact i am not able to receive any signal on my cellphone. I did couple of restarts sim inserts/removals but nothing helped. After talking to ARC I came to know that this is a technical issue ! on Airtel side, seriously ?. and on top of that I got response from ARC that since system is down the technical issue can not be resolved. Nothing could be pathetic than this, a major service provider in India cries for system-down. I know its a lame excuse to hide inefficiency of system but almost week of blocked service totally puts big question mark on customer-care service and technical reliability of Airtel network. One thing I am thinking of doing is port my number to better service provider. If Airtel feels like its worth to retain customer who has been on same network for past 6 years, do respond immediately. Thanks.
