To, The Manager Bharti Airtel Ltd. Subject: Complaint regarding the wrong bill. My self Pradeep Kumar. I have a airtel broadband connection since 5 to 6 years and my airtel broadband no. is[protected]. Despite of 6 months follow-up and 100's of calls they had done nothing that time. I have all the reference nos. which I have done with airtel regarding the wrong bill. From the month of July 2013 they added the 199/- rs. extra on my bill every month without any information or confirmation. I have been registered so many complaints regarding this issue till today but there is no disciplinary action has been taken regarding this issue. Every month they adjust the 199/- rs in my bill but they did not remove this amount from my bill permanently, they did not tell me the cause of this issue. I have requested them to disconnect my connection but they ignoring my request continuously. You are requested to look into this matter. I have been harassed lot by the airtel customer care. Please do the needful. ASAP. Thanks & Regards Pradeep Kumar [protected] (contact me on this no. first) [protected]@yahoo.com

I have been using an airtel prepaid number for the last 4 years. It was recently that I had recently migrated to Airtel Postpaid in the hope of having a stronger relation with airtel. The conversion from prepaid to post paid took more than 10 Days and to worsen things the sales executive (Mr. Karthik S. from airtel showroom in 41, Thambiah street extension, West mambalam, chennai 600033) has activated a corporate plan (NEW 249 PPS) instead of the individual plan with airtel My plan. I wish to change to individual plan My plan ID: MYOP[protected] and opt out of this wrongly activated corporate plan My plan ID: MYOP[protected] The Rs 399 Plan with 12 myPacks free myPacks added 12 out of 12 information 100 Minutes Local Mobile X 5 = 500 Minutes 65 Minutes STD Mobile X 3 = 195 Minutes 200 Local/National SMS X 1 = 200 Local/National 135 MB 3G Internet X 3 = 405 MB It is indeed very poor service from a telecom giant such as airtel. To add to my misery, the customer care executives have no idea as to what is to be done. Awaiting action Shriram N

This is to inform that Airtel inspite of many complaints does'nt improve their internet services. I dnt know about other areas but in mumbra Airtel sucks, its pathetic you can say.. So I will request you to kindly look into this matter as I don't have time to reach the airtel gallery coz in mumbra there is no airtel gallery. And 1 more thing if you call their customer care number you will never get any solutions.. I think airtel should improve their after sales service. I think they are not well educated as you will never get good replies from them.. Please look into this otherwise i will have to change my number. Airtel sucks. My number is [protected]..

Airtel DTH Customer Id :[protected] I recharged my account at 8AM, after it got suspended today. Recharge was successful and I have sent HR requests several times, services dint resume. I waited for 1 hour and called 12150 at 8.55AM. They asked me to wait for 20 mins. But no use. When I called 12150 again at 9.20AM. The lady who spoke in Telugu was just asking me to wait and was telling that nothing can be done from their side. When asked to solve the issue immediately, all the answer she had was wait, she was sooo impatient and reckless while talking and was telling to her collegues while still I was on call "ee maha thalli wait cheyadanta". That was a rude behaviour and then she transferred to some technical department, then that person in technical dept said this issue ia not concerned to them so she transferred the call to some department. Then the 3rd person said that the call is transferred to prepaid number recharge and not regarding digital tv. He inturn asked me to call to 12150. What the hell I dialed 12150 and was talking to them. Dont know how people refuse to help the customers when their actual job is to help them. And the knowledge of the customer care executives is pathetic. Then I understood it was all done purposefully to waste customers time and energy. I request you to hear the call recordings and take strict action against the person for her rude behaviour and transferring calls to wrong departments. Then for the 3rd time I called up 12150 at 10AM then I received the same answer wait for 20 mins. Its been already 2 hours now!! My account is showing the recharged amount from 8.50AM and also received the balance amount by sending sms to 54325. I also called up for the 4th time but servies are not resumed. I request you to take serious action against the person who received my call at 9.20AM. And its been 3 hours now but services are not resuned even though the balance in our account is updated immediately.

Dear Airtel Customer Care. Here by this email I do like to put a complain to my services and experience I am facing in last few weeks. Today I have talked with one of your supervisor who was reluctant to have any support of services and blaming me as a customer that you give me records and we do not have any records showing at our side. So he was trying to prove me wrong and tell me that I can give you only this X discount or so for the thing which I have not have to spend anything. Its like you gave me 600 discount and asking me to pay 1500 Rs for your crap system. I can not take it. As a customer I am not suppose to keep records when I am telling you that I have spoke to your team on this particular date, you are saying you do not have records, so you can not do anything. what a shame...coz now I have this recording so that proves your people are wrong and I will take this way further. Now, the discussion what I was talking to have this last 2 months's bill adjustment, I would not pay this bill unless you solve this and give me full compensation as I have all proof that you guys are just making life hard for your customer. Kindly find attached my voice recording for that particular date for which I have spend time and again I as a customer have to explain all situation all the time. ONLY THING WHICH YOU NEED TO HEAR IS DURATION OF CALL BETWEEN 10.05 to 10.15 from complete 11 minutes call so that can give you clarity. (Attachment sent to Customercare) I would seek your response on this in next 48 Hours. Awaiting for your response!

I am an airtel prepaid customer since last 10 years (no. [protected]). On Saturday 23rd Nov 2013 I submitted my documents once again after i recd an auto call to submit my documents. I submitted my documents at Airtel Gallery in Sandhu Garden Chembur, Munbail. I have the acknowlegement receipt for the same. I was informed by airtel that my mobile connection will continue and as the document request was ful filled.
However today on Nov 30th 2013 I again recd an auto call to submit my documents.

Please stop harrassing loyal customers who have been with you for 10 years even though they are on Prepaid. Last year i had similar issues and my calls were blocked and i had complaint on this site. This year again if no action is taken and if my connection has any issues I will make sure i port my number to other service provider.

If you want to retain a 10 yr long customer please make your processes efficient enough..

An un-fortunate customer of airtel..

Respected Sir/Madam, I lost my mobilephone in srikakulam bearing the number [protected] today evening.Kindly treat this matter seriously and block the above specified number. My details Name M S Srinivasa rao email [protected]@gmail.com Contact no.[protected]

I tried to reach 'Manage Services' at Airtel's website several times this evening. This is the response I received: "Server Error Access Manager WebSEAL could not complete your request due to an unexpected error. Diagnostic Information Method: POST URL: /prepaidaccount/PSC_Web/RechargeL5DViewAction.action Error Code: 0x38cf04d3 Error Text: DPWWA1235E Could not read the response status line sent by a third-party server. Possible causes: non-spec HTTP headers, connection timeout, no data returned. This is not a problem with the WebSEAL server. Solution Provide your System Administrator with the above information to assist in troubleshooting the problem." What's wrong with this company? This is not the first time this has happened. I had occurred several times in the past.

Hi, Recently i moved from Airtel to Idea. Since 30 days i am receiving calls from Airtel Promotional call on daily basis asking me for postpaid connection. I clearly told them that i do not want any postpaid connection from Airtel and still they are not leaving me. They are calling on daily basis and torturing like anything. I escalated this issue to Airtel and i got a reference number "BAL|Qrc129111317111023122335|" stating that i wont be receiving promotional call any more. But still they are calling me and i don't know why. Again i mailed them and they are asking to register DND where as DND was activated 28 Nov 2013 on my number. I really don't know what to do. Please help me out from this situation. Thanks Saravanan B

I have bought a 3G Dongle Airtel no. [protected] on nov. I have not been able to use this Dongle as it never connects to the internet, whenever it connects the connection is very brief speed is very very slow and then it disconnects. Some time a dialogue box appears which say that the connection can not be used until we register on approved network though we have registered on the airtel network long ago with the help of your technical team. We have registered this complaint probably more than 10 times. But this issue has not been resolved. I have not been able to use the dongle for the purpose it was purchased. I have been cheated and not provided the services which were promised.

I have put a request to change my mobile [protected] from postpaid to prepaid, in the terms of that person will deliver new sim to my home ( 23 rd oct).It was well recorded in airtel customer care( Executive was laxmi).

My Airtel sim[[protected]] is inactive since 17 days, I thought there may be some network problem. I don't know why my sim card is terminated. today I went to Airtel Franchise office, Chakradarpur and they checked and told me that my sim is closed by the company and they even don't called to custemer care as I requested to do them so. I am shocked about their carelessness and still uncertain about Airtel service. kindly do the needful .Thanks Bikash

To Airtel India, I am writing this after so much frustration and discomfort caused the Airtel customer care. Around four months back, I had made an enquiry for MyPlan postpaid and on the same day I got call from Airtel customer care (I find the service very good) and customer care explains the plan and I said I don’t want, not interested. But from the next day to today daily (sometimes twice or thrice if I am lucky) I am getting calls from Airtel customer care, sometime I politely says no (if I am in good mood), sometime I shouted on them and sometime I told them don’t call me. I tried all things to stop like: 1. DND activate 2. Complaint in TRAI against you (but you guys call me daily from some other number that my bad luck ) 3. Service Request in Airtel.in and other places No luck still today I got two calls from them. Now I got the problem, there is a lady in Airtel Hyderabad name “Deepa Saxena” head of Hyderabad and secunderabad, (don’t know the post) but there team members are says that she is pushing us to call all numbers daily even if they say no and she is pushing them hard to ge the new postpaid customers. I don’t know the validity of this story but this is harassment to your customers. Please stop your SCAM or I will keep continuing this complaint to different forums and palces. Regards, -Kapil Kumawat

These people will tell you will get good speed but the speed is so bad that you that you cant open speedtest.net even. I made a mistake by taking this airtel 4g, instead i could have taken some other 3g networks like Photon, reliance and BSNL.These airtel people will tell the speed will be good at the time of taking but it wont be there and they will charge also so much. Whatever we pay we dont get the service like that.
