Day before yesterday, while I was travelling back from Hyderabad to Chennai, I lost my mobile and the person who found it shutdown the device as soon as he got it and hopefully is making use of the instrument. I lodged a complaint with Chennai Police department online along with IMEI numbers and last night I have gone around to find Airtel Relationship Centers and I had bad experiences from the beginning itself.

The first Center was not opened at all and I came to understand that the center is observed regularly closed for couple of days from now. I was bit happy to see one of the centers in Porur open, but in continuation of my bad experience, they did not have SIMs in stock so that I can readily apply for the duplicate one. Not having SIMs is a PATHETIC situation and the center head should be ashamed of not keeping track of the stock on hand.

I was very happy to see the third center in Gandhi Nagar open and the SIMs were also available. I submitted all the required documents and filled up the application form requesting a duplicate SIM. The center’s staff were very cooperative, handed me the SIM and conveyed that the SIM will be activated in 4 hours. The process got completed by 8:00 PM yesterday and till now I do not have the SIM activated. I visited the ARC three times and
they simply say that there is some problem with Airtel servers and hence the duplicate SIM cards are not getting activated. The executives in ARC conveys that they have done their part and it is only that Airtel has to take care of rest activity to see that the SIMs are activated.

I had a bad feeling that ARC’s shutters were pulled down when there were more people coming to the center to inquire as when their issues would be addressed. I see ARC as one money collection center, rather than a service center by Airtel. People do not come to have fun at your ARCs. People who are coming to ARCs are really concerned and if ARC executives shunning them off – they will look for other alternatives.

I am not sure as how long it would take Airtel (or) its ARCs to take care of things and activate the lost SIMs. I am expecting very important calls from US and I am now confused if I should continue to look at Airtel SIM’s activation.

I am Challa Venkata Satyanarayana and I am taking help of my fried to draft this text and share my concerns with other members. As of now, I do not have any alternate Mobile number.

Dear sir, I have Airtel prepaid connection and i recharge my connection with 3G plan (1 [protected]@ 251) on my number [protected] on dated 27/10/2014, but i can't access my 3G net i access only 2G but i paid for 3G plan .I also complaint to your custmer care many times but there is no solution even i register complaint for regarding this but my complaint confirmation reference number also not given by your side .Your executive told that i get an message after some time but i can't get any message regarding complaint number .There is no solution at all .Please resolve my problem as soon as possible.

Respected sir, I have submitted a complaint on my Airtel mobile number with reference no. 58478893 dated on 14 oct 2014 and reference no. 58548494 dated on 20 oct 2014. these complaint were regarding poor 2g GPRS services on 2g network in my home network on given address of : Trilok puri, GMS Road opposite Dron puri, Dehradun Uttarakhand. Since 15 days, my problem is still not solved. I have again made a 3rd complaint on 27 october 2014, but still my problem is not solved. I am a postpaid user and subcribed to 2g plan thus i am not able to get 3g signals according to you impartial rules which restrict a postpaid user to latch on 3g signals while it is allowed to prepaid user. This is also a problem of concern why this kind of discrimination is done with postpaid users only? Rules should be same for both postpaid and prepaid users. If your engineers are not able to solve slow 2g gprs problem on 2g signals in my area then kindly provide me 2g gprs on 3g signals which is running quite well in my area which i have checked on my brother 2g prepaid plan. kindly provide me either good 2g gprs speed on present 2g signal or allow us to latch on airtel 3g signals with capped speed as per your tarrif speeds. Thank you. Sanjay Negi

My Airtel Digital TV customer id is: [protected]. I booked a customer an additional HD settop box on 24th Oct'14 through Airtel the phone (12150) from my Airtel mobile. They told me that the cost is Rs.1815 and I get one month free subscription on by box (and subsequently Rs.250 per month). On 25th Oct'14 - they came and installed the box and the line man collected Rs.1815 and went away. I got a call subsequently from your customer care to confirm the amount and plan. I was told that I'll get one month free service on it. On 23rd Oct'14 - the balance in my account was Rs.320+ However today (28th Oct'14) I find that my airtel connection is disabled b'coz of 'no balance' in my account. I was SHOCKED to find out that you have deducted Rs.310 additional for "BOX NRC" from my account without any intimation or reason. I called up your customer care and registered complaints[protected]Name: Sujith) and 40814645. The executive told me that they'll listen to the recorded conversation of me booking the settop box and refund the money. Some one from finance called me back and said that he cannot refund the money at all. He told me that I was given wrong information - clearly Airtel's mistake. I argued with him on the fault on Airtel's part - but he was RUDE and kept saying that nothing can be done. After a while he just bluntly CUT THE CALL. Airtel has not only wrongfully took my money without any notification, they are also refusing to correct their mistake by providing me a refund and also they are behaving in a very rude manner with the customer. This is clearly a case of deficient service and fraud.

This is furtherance to my following mails chain to Airtel regarding bill discrepancy. There has not been any solution to the issue however my outgoing calls are barred which is causing additional inconvenience, harassment, and loses to me. Kindly look into the issue, Sharada Prasad [protected] ///////////////////////////////////// From: sharada prasad ([protected]@hotmail.com) Sent: 06 October 2014 16:30PM To: appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com (appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com); appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com (appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com) Dear Mr. Ronit, Thank you for the mail. However, I respectfully disagree with the following resolution regarding the bill discrepancy in my 07-AUG-2014 bill. I again reiterate that I can not pay any data usage charges on this number because this number is used only for mobile calls. Lastly, I am feeling harassed because of the mails and alerts from airtel, moreover my number porting request has been rejected all these all against the law of India. Please let me know my legitimate mobile call usage charges I will pay it happily. I can not pay any thing which is illegitimate.

I did not request any other services yet I have got this shocking bill, Further I have made several calls to Airtel regarding this but all in vain, as this number is for calls I do not use it for internet because I have a WiFi connection (7GB for Rs. 650 in a month) with me. So I can not pay for any data usage on airtel number because I have never requested for that. Kindly look into the bill and correct it, regards, sharada prasad ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////...⇄ From: sharada prasad ([protected]@hotmail.com) Sent: 16 August 2014 10:23AM To: [protected]@in.airtel.com ([protected]@in.airtel.com) Cc: [protected]@in.airtel.com ([protected]@in.airtel.com) Hi, My plan is for Rs. 249/m and my monthly bill averages between Rs 400 to Rs. 700 per month.
