i am customer of airtel DTH no..[protected] and had working plan of approximately 240 rupees per month for last two years..now on 8th nov. they had converted my plan to 275 rupees on plea that they had added ECO SPORTS channel for which i had never requested as per my record...they are unneccessary withdrawing money from my account without having requested for the same...kindly help in this regard and get my money refunded...also they have deleted few channels from my original list at time of instalment of AIRTEL DTH connection like times now without ant information..kindly help in this regard too as these agencies are looting poor people without any mistake..kindly help.

I have purchased 3G wireless internet standard plan of Rs 450 on 11 th August '12. As per the plan my billing should have been(Not explained) one month but billing was done on 24 th Aug'12 thus reducing the @G benefits to 1G and charging at exorbitant rate for the rest of the uses which under signed had used within 2 G plan. Instead of paying Rs 450 plus taxes , i had to pay Rs 1200/- thus loosing due to adroitness on part of airtel.

I was charged an amount of Rupee 20 & Rupee 105 without any reason. Nor was I provided with any Text Message or call from the operator. When I called up the customer care regarding the Issue I was made to wait for 15 minutes and then I was forced with wrong information making it as a Statement When i told the operator to behave he misbehaved and disconnected the call. This has happened numerous times. I was not refunded or even provided with any SMS regarding my talk with the Customer care.

My Number Is [protected] & the call was made at 1:48Am on 14th November 2012 From the same number to 198 on Airtel's Network.

But the recharge amount Rs.98 was deducted two times from my account. For which I receive two messages from 121 that the deducted amount will be refund with in 4 days. But the amount is not refund till today. Contacting to airtel customer care they refuse.

i am getting a message of Charging Rs 5/- per day since 27/10/2012 . i am having mobile number having airtel connection cell no :[protected] and also My customer AIRTEL dish tv ID is[protected]. My request is not using that , hence by default i am used this through my mobile option or dish tv , pl disconnect it and do not charge . Pl confirm through by sending E mail - [protected]@drreddys.com

theres no reply to the mail sent below on 10.11.2012 to nodal officer, Customer Care and Mr Mittal.

This reflects how efficient the whole organisation is.

Hi! Airtel,

I have taken two new post paid connection whose number are : [protected], [protected] on 01.11.2012 from Airtel RelationShip Center, Ashram Road, Ahmedabad by depositing the below documents:
1) Photograph
2) Notarised rent agreement copy
3) PAN Card

The number was activated within 3 days of taking the connection.

Below are the problems which I have faced over last 4 days in terms of the quality of service provided by Airtel post which I have put a request to close down both the numbers and also it is requested that
The amount taken towards two new post paid connections be refunded back to me and I should not be charged for the period for which the two numbers have been active and used as it has only been 5-6 days
Since these numbers have been used and im forced to return back the two new connection due to your inefficient staff and service

• I received a message from Airtel on 09.11.2012 stating that my services would be barred as the address verification has failed as they could not find the address saved by them in the Airtel system

To my horror i found out that they have uploaded wrong address in Airtel system , I have attached the document submitted by me at ARC,Ahmedabad as address proof its clearly mentioned that my address is
C 201, Vraj Vihar 7 , Near 100 Ft Road, Prahlad Nagar, Ahmedabad but they have uploaded it as Jyoti Kalash Society,Near prernatirth Building, Jodhpur , Ahmedabad

It is bound to happen that they would be unable to trace my address , now its totally an error made by Airtel team.

After calling up customer care and talking to them for over 2 hrs I was said to again submit the documents at ARC, Ahmedabad

I fail to understand that if its your ARC , why cant you get the correct documents from them and rectify it in your system rather than asking me to go over there again and again.

No body was of any help after wasting 4 hrs yesterday on phone with support, henceforth I put a request for you to take back the connections


• After the above episode yesterday evening at 5:30 PM I got a call from one Ms Manisha pretending to be calling from Airtel Mumbai from [protected] and again wasting 1 Hr of mine trying to convince me to
Go to the ARC and submit the documents.

This was so unprofessional on behalf of Airtel to pretend to be calling from Mumbai support team and fooling the customer and trying to cover up the goo[censored]p and trying to retain the customer by getting in
Fraudulent activities.

• When I had applied for this new connection , I had clearly marked in the form for the GPRS services to be activated on both the numbers

I called up customer care on 8.11.2012 to check on the same as it was not activated, I was said that system are not functional. I asked them to take a complaint but that was not done

I again called up care on 9.11.2012 to check on the GPRS service , I was said that the systems are not working . I requested the supervisor to take down my number and take a complaint
As for last two days I have been trying to get in touch with care for the resolution of the problem but there was no resolution from his end

I fail to understand that your care actually is of no help. And I have to keep calling for three days to find out if your systems are working and if some supervisor is willing to work towards
Providing solution. The services were not active till yesterday evening.

After I asked them to close the connection and made them understand for 2 hrs, the GPRS was activated in 2 mins time.

• Rs 500/- towards each connection taken at your ARC , Ashram Road does not even reflect in your internal system. I donot understand why the same was taken as I have been using Post paid
Connection for almost 11 years now but have never paid anything for a new connection. Also if I have paid theres no record in your system.


Over last 4 days which I have been interacting with Airtel , I took the connection believing to get the best service but it’s a shock that your staff in Gujrat is real incapable of maintaining the standards
Service which is expected out of Airtel. Due to the inefficient service in the intial days of this connection I request you to close this connection and refund 1000/- against the two new connections and
Also not charge me for the 4-5 days for which the connection has been used, it’s a real harrowing experience which was not expected from Airtel. All in all it looks totally unprofessionally managed
business

Im attaching all the documents for your references.

Thx

I did a top-up of Rs 200 in my prepaid airtel number([protected]). But I received only Rs 175 as talktime.
It was clearly mentioned in the airtel.com website(https://pay.airtel.com/online-payments/prepaid-mobile-recharge.jsp) that Rs 200 has 200 talktime.

recharge amount (र) talktime (र) processing fee (र) service tax (र) validity (days)
Rs. 200 200.00 0 0.00 0
Rs. 333 333.00 0 0.00 0
Rs. 444 444.00 0 0.00 0
Rs. 500 500.00 0 0.00 0
Rs. 1000 1000.00 0 0.00 0

When i called the customer-care, they gave a funny reason that I am not eligible for the full talktime offer. Even that customer executive instantly activated a diwali pack after talking to him and deducted more Rs 25 from my account. In what sense is this legal ?

sir,
i am mayur kumbhrajwale.i have bought airtel sim to gwalior from airtel office. i have submitted 3 times my document but my sim is not active. it is deactivate since 4 month. my no. is [protected]. this no. presently given other person . sir pls check .where is my document which i submitted 3 times in airtel office.
I am really very irritated and unsatisfied with the service and customer care of airtel. I have submitted my documents 3 times. still they blocked my sim. Whenever, I call at customer care, they just tell that they have not recieved documents. I had submitted my deriving license and photo at airtel office. I think these documents are more than sufficient for address and identity verification. Still they blocked sim without intimation. airtel does not understand the criticality of matter and category of customer. Even customer care people don't know anything accept teling sorry for any fault. Even make false promisses and cut the calls in between without listening to the problem. i seems my document have miss used by airtel.
sir pls check my document in airtel office..and either pls activated my sim. or my document have return me. pls help me..my email id is m.[protected]@gmail.com.

Hi,

I had very bad experience with Airtel Prepaid Mobile Service(Mobile Number: +91 [protected]), each time when I recharge for Internet Data via Online, usage of Internet is charging from my main balance instead recharged Internet Data. This kind of inconvenience is repeatedly happening from past six months. And they are delaying to resolve the issue. Every time I need to call CSR executive to refund my amount mean while I am facing lack of amount to make a single call. After series of argument, discussion and wordings this kind of problem is repeating without customer concern.

This is my First post and before I write down all the detail I want to inform all the fellow members that DON'T buy AIRTEL DTH. It is a cheater company.
I am still struggling with them to activate my DTH connection since last 4 days.
I bought Airtel DTH on 6th Nov via airtel website. After following up with customer care the installation happened on 8th Nov on top of that the two guys who came for installation asked me for bribe as well.
The guys told me that the account will be activated and I will be able to view channels within 4 hrs however even after 4 days they are not able to activate it.
Everytime I call the customer care I get response stating that I will receive a call back, that so far never happened except for 2 times when I got in touch with a Senior Assistant. In every call I was told that the amount I paid is not reflecting due to some technical problem.
The thing is they are keep promising that it will be done within 4-5 hours every time I call CC.
It is a nightmare having this connection. So I would advise any one to don't even consider this cheater company for your DTH connection.

Dear Sir,

I would like to inform you about the pathetic service by Airtel and one of it's relationship center in Bangalore..
I had submitted application for re-activation of my postpaid connection on 4th of November 2012. The Airtel outlet person (Mr. Yogesh) promised that it would be activated within 24 hours and collected the required documents along with Rs 500. Till date the connection hasn't been activated.
I have contacted the relationship center person four times till now, every time he promises to get the connection activated within 24 to 48 hrs and gives lame excuses for not getting the job done.
I have written the issue to the nodal officer as well, even they haven't sorted out the issue.
I am fed up of their tardy and un-professional service, I kindly request you to look into this asap.

Please find further details below:

I booked an Airtel Digital TV connection on 04th Nov 2012. Inspite of promising to install the connection within 24 hrs, it has not been done. Even after repeated calls to the customer care they failed to install the connection. Request you to kindly register a complaint on my behalf.
