Dear Sir,

This is to inform you that i had sent the porting request for mobile number [protected](Currently VODAFONE) on 05/08/2013 for changed network to Airtel Cellular but it was not proceed yet now. When i talked to customer care of vodafone about the same & asked him about the issue then he replied that your documents was yet not received to airtel office but i have already submitted the documents at that time in the store where i bought the sim.
As per discussion, They suggested me that you will have to submit documents again. After that, I have submitted my documents at 10/08/2013 again.
My porting code is VZ236185 which i was received through message at 04/08/2013.
My vodafone number is [protected] which was issued from DHANRAJ CHAKOLE. This is for your reference.
Now, Clear the same issue at the earliest & take immediate action,

Awaiting your reply.

Airtel!! Why do I have to complain on 100 websites before getting some kind of response or solution from you guys? Your customer service is pathetic beyond belief and your IVR system is a big joke. All I'm trying to do is upgrade my connection from 2 MBPS to may be 8 MBPS or 16 MBPS. I've been trying hard since one week to get an answer for my query. Your customer service department tells me that someone from the "migration" team will call me to discuss this but that never happens. What should I do to get an answer? Do I have to complain here every time to get an answer from you guys? What a joke!!

Airtel Fixed Line Connection No.41734324

We had asked for our Fixed Line No:41734324 to be discontinued from Broadband, and for it to be used
as an ordinary fixed line number without broadband. Further, we had chosen the Plan with a Monthly
Charge of Rs.2350. However, we have received a bill with a Monthly Charge of Rs.817.07. Plus we
have been charged a Late Fee of Rs.100, when the last bill was paid in time on 25th May wheras the
due date was 28th May..

Inspite of repeated requests no correction has been made, and no corrected revised bill received.

Hi,

I have been using the Airtel Broadband connection (#[protected] since January 2011. My

plan was 1200 /- (8 Mbps) and my billing cycle was 11th to 10th of next month.
On 12-May-2013, I shifted from Koramangala to Bannerghatta road and contacted the apartment

agent (Shibu) for transferring my existing connection. He suggested, Sir, do NOT transfer

your connection, because it may take a week time, instead please take a new connection and

cancel the existing one [may be for his own benefit, his target for that month would be

achieved]. So I paid 500/- for new connection (out of which 250/- is refundable according

to Shibu) and got my new connection[protected] activated on 14-May. Also I had

contacted the Customer Care and raised request for cancellation and got the request id. Few

days later, and as expected, got a call from retention department and I patiently explained

them the scenario and they said ok, it will be taken care of. (By the way, for bill cycle

11-Apr-2013 to 11-May-2013, I received the bill for my old number, which I paid immediately

to speed up the process)

And the story begins now !
In June I got a bill of 1348/- (period: 11-May-2013 to 11-Jun-2013) for my old number and

another bill of 1223/- (period: 14-May-2013 to 11-Jun-2013) for my new number. I paid the

bill of 1223/- as this is the new connection that I am using now. Contacted the customer

care (agent)...
Me: I raised a cancellation request last month for my old connection and have not used it

since 11-May-2013, as I got a new connection to work with. How come its not yet processed

and still I am getting bill?
Agent: Do you have the cancellation request?
Me: Yes, here it is <request_no>
and Voila...
Agent: This is NOT a valid request id. It starts with 4 and our current running number

starts with 3.
I was like WHAT !!!!
Me: Can you change the first number and check.
He did that (with several permutations and combinations, but no result)
Agent: Sir, you have to raise another request.
And a NEW request was raised.

July-2013,
I got another bill of 2015/- for my old connection and 1405/- for my new connection. Being

the active connection I paid 1405/-, again contacted the Customer Care, explained them the

overall story, this time I was quite pissed off. Agent replied, ok sir, we shall take care

of this.
Now, last week I got a call from so called Collection Dept about the payment of 2015. I

told them I can not pay for two bills. The (new) one I am supposed to pay is already up to

date and for other (old) one, the request was raised 2 and half months back and this is not

my fault. They said OK and they will speak to Backend team to rectify the issue.
Yesterday I got the LAST REMINDER email from Airtel, which says about court/forum and legal

proceedings, blah blah blah, if you do not pay your current outstanding !!!

Perplexed....Shocked !!

I heard lot of complaints on this (almost all the forums have similar complaints

registered), that as long as you are using their service, they are OK (only thing is Airtel

will keep on increasing your tariff at the eleventh hour). But the moment you cancel your

connection, Airtel will try to extort as much as money as they can. Its like (loot lo, last

minute mein). People, out of fear pay the amount to get rid of this and Airtel takes the

undue advantage of looting their customers by sending threatning emails. I have forwarded

my complain to my current and previous company HR and other friends in my Network so as to

not to entertain Airtel any more. And today I have raised another cancellation request for

my 3 months old new connection[protected].

Thanks to Artel...

Now, I tell you what will happen? A spam mail like below will be sent by Airtel:
This is to inform you that your concern listed on 13 Aug 2013 has been noted and our team

is working on a resolution. At the outset, we apologize for the inconvenience faced by you.

We will get in touch with you for further details of your concern as the need arises.

For any queries you may have you can also get in touch with us at

www.airtel.in/airtelpresence

And I shall keep getting calls from Customer Service..

Hello Sir/Madam,

I have an 3G data card and I am moving to other location so I wanted to disconnect/deactivate it. I have been trying to deactivated it from past 3 days.

I called your customer care numbers lots of times. I sent emails, I went to the customer care center twice. But no one has taken the deactivation request.

I have paid my last month's bill and outstanding amount till 12th Aug. But still no one has disconnected my connection. Every time your customer care executives are saying we don't have access and disconnecting the call.

I had sent an email yesterday and it says we will response in 24 hrs but no one has responded yet.

I am not sure whom to contact now as I have tried through all the channels. Deactivation is getting delayed without any of my faults and then extra money will be charged to me.

Could you please please please help me with this. I am really tired of calling airtel customer care number.

My Airtel Number is : [protected]

Thank You,
Harsha

MY PHONE NO. IS [protected]. MY PLAN IS RS 149 MONTHLY.

I WENT TO HYD FOR VACATION IN THE MONTH OF MAY AND THERE I WENT TO LB STADIUM AIRTEL OFFICE TO PAY MY BILL ON 27TH MAY 2013 WHICH WAS RS 485.

THE AIRTEL CUSTOMER EXECUTIVE TOLD ME TO DEACTIVATE THE PHONE AS I WAS NOT GOING TO USE GOA PHONE IN ANDHRA FOR 2 MONTHS.

I AGREED AND ASKED HIM TO DEACTIVATE. HE DID SOMETHING ON COMPUTER AND TOLD ME THAT MY SIM IS DEACTIVATED. I REMOVED THE SIM FROM MY MOBILE AND DID NOT USE IT UNTIL AUGUST 2013 WHEN I RETURNED TO GOA.

TO MY UTTER SHOCK I WAS BILLED FOR RS 1342 FOR THE MONTHS OF JUNE AND JULY.

ADDING SALT TO INJURY I WAS BILLED RS 250 ODD AGAINST MY PLAN OF RS 149 FOR THE MONTHS MY PHONE IS DEACTIVATED.

NOW AIRTEL IS SAYING THAT I HAVE NOT DEACTIVATED MY PHONE. SO CLEARLY THERE IS NEGLIGENCE AT THE LB STATDIUM HYDERABAD AIRTEL OFFICE EXECUTIVES. I HAVE BEEN IGNORANT OF ALL THIS. AND AIRTEL DID NOT EVEN CARE TO SEND A MESSAGE TO MY ALTERNATE CONTACT NO. BECAUSE MY SIM WAS TOTALLY INACTIVE.

EVEN AFTER REPEATED CALLS TO AIRTEL CUSTOMER EXECUTIVES I AM BEING CHARGED HEAVILY FOR THESE PHONE CALLS BUT JUSTICE IS NOT BEING DONE.

I AM READY TO PAY RS 485 BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE USED THE PHONE THAT TIME,

BUT WHEN I DID NOT USE THE PHONE I AM NOT READY TO PAY THE AMOUNT. THERE IS NO CALL LOG OR ANYTHING IN THE BILL AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXECUTIVES ARE TOO ARROGANT TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM.

I ALSO SUGGEST INNOCENT PEOPLE OF INDIA NOT TO USE AIRTEL POSTPAID SERVICE.

airtel Number: [protected]

My complaint is I am recieving inflated value of Airtel bill for last three months. This is also to mention that aforesaid airtel number is being suspended 3 times without any request from my side. I am deeply in shock by activities of Bharti Airtel. They are doing a big harm to their reputation. I am fed up of calling customer care executives for waiver of extra charges being levied on my number.


Therefore i am now porting all my airtel numbers i.e. 3 airtel numbers to Idea cellular. If this is to Continue then there will be atime when all from will port out of it and opt for next telecommunication service provider.

If anyone can guide me how to procedd for TRAI complaint on the above issue, Kindly refer to my email id - kaushik.[protected]@yahoo.com

Hi,
I ported from vodafone to Airtel last week. First airtel people messed with my request and my number was deactivated for 1 week. After that when they finally successfully ported the number, only outgoing call and 3g is working. I am not able to receive any incoming call. incoming/ougoing SMS also not working. If you call on my number ([protected]) it says “you seemed to have dialed an invalid number”.
Customer care of Airtel is another headache. First they put your call on hold and never come back. yesterday after trying 3-4 calls i could register a complaint. Today when i called to get the status of that complaint they told me your complaint is regarding 2G services and not related to incoming calls.This is sad and unacceptable.

Can someone please help.

To load airtel money i have transferred the money through my SBBJ bank account netbanking[protected] and the amount 1015/-, 1015/- was deducted from my SBBJ account and at the end of the transaction the transaction was failure. Transaction ref.no[protected]. But the amount was not credited back to my bank account .The Transaction details were date 8 Aug 2013 TO TRANSFER-INB BHARTI

Hi,
My number is [protected]. I have beeen a delighted customer of airtel where I am using all the services from airtel. but being such a loyal and delighted customer for a long time, I am put down by airtel mobile services where I am facing lot of issues. I thought of moving from airtel using number postability 6 months back but I was retained I was promised that I will be getting 30% discount on my bills which was not reflected in my bills so I stopped payment. When I contacted customer care through mobile and email I was requested for the contact number who provided the offer which is not possible for any customer to save it which happened 6 months back and now my service has been disconnected and no one bothers to hear that. This is the worst and very poor customer service offered by Airtel which I never expected frm them. Now, I am just thinking to stop usage of all services and go other best service provider in the market.

i have purchased airtel 4g connection for my desktop after the home demo they say my 4g connection will be activated within 3 days 5 days ago the guy who gave me connection tell me his name is deep and his cell number is [protected] its 5 days has passed and still my connection not activated

i activated std plan of RS 99 on 5th Aug .on 8 th i talked with costomer care and they said its technical problem.
And from here problem starts. if its technical problem they can send immediate sms.this much technology i think they must have.
Then they said check if pack is activated or not and let them convey.So why should i?if technical problem is detected means they can know if it is activated or not?but when i asked so they start asking and arguing to me.and funny thing is i[censored] want to ask or any query we have to pay our money.
customer care is charging.if they cannt provide service its ok i just want my money back with compansation
i need help.
