As per my complaint dated 10 November 2012. I have been waiting for my amount to be refunded but it seems similar to the "waiting on-line " for the response from the customer service, except for the " Common Response " posted on my complaint by Bharati Airtel. I have neither subscribed for any 3G Data Plan nor wish to subscribe in the near future. Bharati Airtel has taken advantage of my balance that was Rs500+ and i fear they might automatically bill me.

I also want to know that whether the consumer has a right to claim damage/charges for the Professional Loss (Network Failure/No Service leading to zero communication with my patients) and Mental Harassment caused for the same.

Please look into the matter and suggest me further action that can be initiated and also any help from the Forum for further action.

I was using my number [protected] more than 4.5years in Airtel, In the month of June'12 I ported my number into Tata Docomo but I was not satisfied with the network connectivity of Tata Docomo, After using it for 90 days I ported my number back to Airtel and it was activated on 19th of Oct'12 since then till 14th Nov'12 Airtel disconnected my number 4 times just for the address verification rejection.Now they are demanding to me to make the approx amount showing on my outstanding to get the same number and that they are not even confirming that I will get the same number again because of which I am loosing all my important contacts as I have only one number as my contact.I also submitted my Rental Agreement & Current bill two time at airtel relationship centers but after that also no response from them. I can take a new connection available in the market why will I make the payment if Airtel is not activating the number without any future problem.

Hi Sir,

I am salini my airtel postpaid no is :[protected],I activated 2g internet pack sep month,but one day itself the bill ammount went 7000 ,next day i asked customer care but they didn't give proper details,they not even alert me when my dynamic credit limit crosses1000 ruppee .At the end of the month my outstanding bill for internet usage shows 7000 for one day usage.next month they closed my connection without prior information.But Even after they closed my connection i paid my bill Rs.1000 that month.Airtel guy called me and i asked the details why for one day internet usage went so high ,she didn't give the proper details.after that she called all those my friends in recent call list and spoke with unwanted words about me and she scolded me lot with bad words.she used words like fraud,cheater.......

I have raised a complaint to Airtel Broadband Services Complaint No:[protected] dated 14-11-12. The complaint was regarding the DSL connection which is not working since 11th Nov 2012.
I have called around 7 times in 8 days regarding this issue. But every time i call i get a different reason regarding why service is not available.
Customer support is taking my complaint for granted and not at all resolving issue. Every day after i raise concern i get a call from back hand team that your issue will be resolved by EOD. I am not able to understand which EOD they are talking about. Airtel broadband is the worst service provider that i have used so far. They don't care about customer satisfaction. Really this low standard and cheap tactic of making fool of customer is not expected of a brand like Airtel. I will never like to opt for this service in future.
Please help me resolve this issue asap.

My Sister received a fake call on 19-Nocv- 2012 ( 1:30 pm afternoon) from airtel that she has win lottery of Rs. 25 Lakh. in a draw. ans they ask her to call on the number [protected].
When she call on that number they confirm her that they are from airtel and ask her for further processing.

She call me up to check and when i check the number it is pakistani number.

Please check on this fake call.

I came back from shopping after 5 hours and disconnected my data card and it showed the usage is 2 GB. Nobody at home. The only application left open is outlook.
I do not download anything using this data card as it is does not have unlimited usage option. I purely took this for travel purpose to check my emails periodically. I have another beautiful internet connection at home with speed of 20Mbps.

I called the customer service and raised a question. They routed me to different departments (not a cold transfer had to call back every time). Customer service routed to billing dept, billing to technical, technical again to billing, billing again to technical dept. Nobody was willing to assist. Technical team said they will check and call back in hour and it is more than 20 days and I dint get anything on this. I don't know if in Airtel language 1 hour = ??

Called again after a week. Story repeated. Somebody even told me that it is a technical issue and will fix it in 2 days. Said "- Madam, The next usage message from airtel will show the actual usage". Waiting since 2 weeks, nothing has changed. I usually do not look at these messages as I am a limited user when it comes to datacard. But, I am curiously checking this message everyday to see if Airtel ever looked into my issue.

I was told that I have to wait until bill is generated to know why there was a usage. So, Is airtel expecting me to stop using their datacard for a month or so. Airtel is not technically equipped to tell what was the usage all about.

I am afraid to use this card as I do not know how the usage is calculated and if it ever goes wrong, Airtel does not have an answer until bill is generated. Not sure, if they will have an answer even after bill is generated.

BTW, in between, I sent an email to Airtel. Nobody ever got back.

Another story - Address verification. It's been over 3 months and the residence address verification is not done. They once deactivated the services and when I called back, they said address verification for your home address is not done. Well, I fixed an appointment, postponed all my plans and waited, nobody turned up. I called back two more times and fixed appointment. Same story. Address verification still not done.

Can I ever trust airtel datacard again. This is the pathetic and I definitely do not recommend Airtel broadband to any of my colleagues. This is a corporate connection.

i am using airtel connection from 8 years. now for 6 month have too much problem in network and when incoming call is comming the voice is not hearing clearly i have complaint so many time and change the sim two time but problem is not solve they told me problem is in your mobile i have change 3 set of mobile is Nokia, Samsung, apple but i face same problem and this handest company says to me problem in air tel sim, now i am using idea network they have no problem take action against on airtel they are making fool and missbehave with coustmors

I AM DOWNLOADING AN APPLICATION ( PANORAMA 360) WHICH IS OF 8 MB AND I HAVE ACTIVATED MY DATA CARD FROM LAST MONTH IN WHICH 25 MB FREE DOWNLOAD LEFT IN MY DATA CARD.WHEN I DOWNLOADED THE APPLICATION. FROM MY MAIN BALANCE THEY CHARGE Rs.256 . FOR WHAT THIS I DONT KNOW SO PLEASE TAKE AN ACTION ON THAT...

I bought an AIRTEL 3G DATA CARD for 999/-

My house is in Ananadnagar. The datacard does not work there. On repeated complaints, they came checked and confirmed that it does not work.

I used to work on the terrace to respond to my clients!

They said it will take 3 months to correct the issue as they have to put a tower there and they have regular complaints in that area.

I told them that please take back my data card and reimburse my money. (999). They refused. I took a stand that I too will not pay the bill as I was not given the promised 3G service. I got repeated calls from Airtel legal threatening me to pay up or face consequences!!!!

Is this how a leading player should display its leadership?

All I am asking is to take back the datacard which does not work and write off the bill as it does not work inside the house. I cant always go to terrace to work..

The bill for the month of September of my Airtel post-paid number [protected] was given as Rs 3800. The data usage was mentioned to be over 1Gb. The bill does not state the details. of browsing According to the bill, most of the gprs has been used in the wee hours of morning, with heavy download When I complained about this at the Airtel customer-care and the Apallete authority, I did not receive any satisfactory response. I was not provided with the details of downloads, and even after so many complaints and calls, I did not receive any reply. My phone was disconnected without any warning. Kindly look into the matter. I would not pay any extra amount for my connection. I need to get the details for the usage. If Airtel provides me the details o[censored]sage then i will not hesitate in making Payment.

Expecting a positve reply from Airtel.

Reference:

1. Airtel Complaint# 25975659

On 03/Nov/2012, I called Airtel support helpline, requesting a package change. I requested to change my package to the following:

1. South Economy Sports (with Tamil and Telugu as optional regional
language packs) @ Rs 250 per month
2. HD Value pack @ Rs 81 per month

Despite Airtel support person confirming the new packages and confirming the monthly charges, the requested change apparently did not take effect at all. Due to this, Airtel continued to charge me more every day as per my earlier plan. Hence my account reached low balance sooner than it was supposed to and the service got suspended on Monday 12/Nov/2012. I made a call again to Airtel support line on Monday 12/Nov and realized that my package was never changed. I requested them to change my packed effective 03/Nov, the day I initially requested the change and credit the difference amount that was wrongfully charged to my account.

But to this day it did not happen, despite me calling Airtel support several times since. Due to Airtel's inability to solve my issue in a reasonable time frame and resume my TV service, I have decided not to use Airtel DTH service anymore and requested them to terminate my account and refund the amount that was overcharged. Its third day since I sent them email request for which I have not received any response.

I did not see any willingness from Airtel's part to fix the issue caused by their negligence. If I again top-up now they will happily take it and perhaps change my package, but I do not see any intention in them to credit back the amount they overcharged.

I do hope other consumers reading this will make smart choice when selecting a DTH provider.

I have purchased Airtel 3G data card for Rs.1000 through a Airtel authorized Dealer on 12th of November and the postpaid number for the same is [protected].I also completed my address verification on 15 th of November but still my data card is not get activated,i have contacted Airtel customer care service many times and registered complaints also but there is no proper response till date.i need to file a complaint against airtel to a consumer court please help me in this matter.

Sir/Madam,

I am a customer of airtel with prepaid connection no. [protected] from Ahmedebad but now I want to move to other service provider. For this I applied for portability on 1.10.2012 (Unique Porting ID AG945512) and I had submitted all my documents of the new service provider. And I was told that it will be ported within 7 days of time. Meanwhile I received a call from airtel company and I told them the reasons and informed them not to call me again on this matter. I waited for 10 days but no action had been taken.
I applied for portability again on 19.10.2012 (Unique Porting ID AG178896) and STILL NOT DONE.
I wonder why the hell do the customer care people call every time I apply for portability, IF THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND THE BASIC THINGS. I REQUEST THE HIGHER AUTHORITIRES OF AIRTEL TO TRAIN THEM TO LISTEN TO THE REQUIREMENT OF THE COSTOMERS AND TAKE NECESSARY ACTIONS ACCORDINGLY. This is really fooling the customer.
I APPLIED FOR PORTABILITY THE THIRD TIME ON 04.11.2011 (UNIQUE PORTING ID AG286883)
Are they testing the level of patience of the customers…….

Requesting you to look into my matter and resolve the problem at the earliest


Thank you

Hello,

I have taken a micro SIM[protected] 8 H3) on 12th of Nov from Air-tel Store, Pothuri Complex, MG Road, Vijayawada-1 by submitting all the relevant documents. I was asked to wait for 8 working hours to get the SIM activated. I called up the customer care to know the status of the activation after 8 woring hrs they asked me wait till 16th of Nov i.e. for 4days to get the SIM activated. I waited till 17th Nov i.e. today and called up again to know the status but they said that their systems are getting upgraded & they cannot tell the status. I called up 4 to 5 times for the same query and every time they say that their systems are getting upgraded and moreover the customercare support persons speaks very rude without giving the proper information. I was still speaking on the call customercare person(Priyanka) has disconnected my call.

When I was asked to wait for 8hrs by airtel store people, why the customer care person are making delay in activating the SIM.

Please help me in the above issue.
