I had lost my mobile on[protected], and i called the customer care on[protected] and barred my number. The same day i went to Airtel relationship centre (27 Mahadevpura Post White Field Main Road Bangalore 560048 Opp Bimal Maruti Auto Agency 560048Bangalore) to get a duplicate sim. For my connection i had given my office address as communication address as it was a CUG corporate connection, my residential address as present address and my native address as permanent address. I carried with me my driving license (showing permanent address) my pancard showing DOB, photo and company ID card showing my company address. Despite of carryning all the necessary documents the representatives there did not give me a duplicate sim and repeatedly asked for a letter from HR. The connection is in my name and for what reason do they need a letter from HR? I tried to put in my concern but they were not even bothered with that and even said in my face that they dont care what i say and they wont give the duplicate sim. This is a very disheartning experiance and i was so angry that i even wanted to cancel the connection. The people in this relationship centre are so arrogant, narrow minded and unprofessional and they do not have any value for the customers. And taking into consideration that i received the duplicate sim from another centre with the same documents, i think these people are purposefully harrassing the customers, expeting customers to be at their mercy and running the store at their own will. Please take action on this or else in future people like me would ofcourse think beyond airtel.

I had applied for a broadband connection of airtel.Their executives informed me that there is one customer in my area who is discoonecting his connection.Later it will get transferred to my name.All his arrears were charged on my bill.I had raised a cancellation request on this land line:[protected].I was promised that with one week's time the connections will get disconnected.They did not disconnect and now they are asking me to pay 2500.

Hi sir/mam

My name is vijay

I have applied for Multiple(3) connection for my home and my Customer Id is [protected]. I have one HD and rest two are SD connections. I have got Economy Pack free with them. I'm facing major problem with blocked channels. All my News and Kids section channels are blocked only in my primary connection(Which is HD one). When I ask for the reason in customer care, they tell me that these channels are not subscribed by you and not in your pack whereas the same channels are coming in my second and third connection. Once they know this situation then they start the channels on my primary connections but after passing few minutes, again those channels get blocked.

I have called so many times in customer care and they are unable to solve my problem and just keep on putting me on hold for hours.

Another issue is with picture quality which is lower then a VCD quality. Blocks and scattered pixels on all channels which even admitted by the engineer who come for installation and one who come after to solve the problem. but both of them have same wordings that, this is the maximum quality which Airtel provides. The picture quality really sucks

Please give me the solution of my problems

I have terminated my Airtel mobile connection on 12th July 2011 after making all outstanding payments. However, on 29the Aug, Airtel sent me a mail asking me to make payment. Even after repeatedly asking for explanation and status of closure, theey have not responded withe any such detail. I have discontinued my connection since I moved to US on 12the July and has been here ever since.

Airlel has started calling my sister and father in India and use intimidatory and abusive language and threatened them that they will move the court on this issue.

We have raised this issue with the Bharti Airtel Ombudsperson however, we did not recieve any help.

Please find attached email correspondences

I request you to kindly help in this issue.

Thanks!

I have a few complaints against Airtel

1) Since yesterday morning a certain amount is being deducted from my balance for no reason. Yesterday it was Rs.0.21 and today I get a pop up message on my phone saying Call Cost: Rs.0.57, Balance: xxxx..Last Call Duration: 00.00.00. What is the meaning of this? I haven't made any calls but still they are deducting money from my account.

2) When I added the STD PACK for Rs. 39/- on Jun 02 2012, it never mentioned the validity of the pack in the confirmation SMS that I received and I assumed it was valid for 1 year. However in the past few days a very high amount is being deducted from my account for STD calls. So Airtel is trying to make more money by keeping customers in the dark about validity of their packs.

3) I had registered for DND many years ago but I still keep getting SMS and unsolicited calls which has become a big nuisance.

Dear Sir,
Sub: Complaint - your raising Bills - My Land Line[protected] which is under safe custody since 20th May 2012.

Above said phone is under safe custody with you since 20th May 2012. I am holding receipt issued by your frechise office at Saibin complex Lalbaugh Mangalore for the safe custody charges for 3 months , paid by cash . I am holding this receipt at my home in Mangalore . In fact I asked for safe custody facility for 6 months but your Frenchise office refused the same & told it is available only for 3 months. I even pointedout then provision available in the printed application form . It is, your said office told me there is no necessary to terminate ECS instruction , under which you are debiting monthly bills to my SB account with corporation bank Pandeshwar Mangalore 575001 branch . Now to my utter surprise you are still raising bills even for the period after May 20th 2012.
You should have billed for the month of April 2012 as your Frenchise office at Mangalore have collected propotionate charges from me for May 2012.

Now you are hereby requested to cancell the bill raised by you and inform me at my email Id registered with you.
Yours faithfully,

A.D.Kamath

I have taken a new AIRTEL connection 5 months back. At the time of installation, AIRTEL person also installed a wi-fi modem and charged 1500/= for this.
After 1 month, the wi-fi modem stopped working and when i made a complaint they installed a very old model of wi-fi modem. I was totally disagree with this because i have made the payment for a new latest model wi-fi modem. I raised my voice and asked them to either replace the modem with the new model or reimburse the amount of modem in the bill.

I made complaints many times. After getting frustrated and fed up, I said to airtel customer care that i will not make any payment untill and unless my query gets resolved but still there is no effect.
Moreover, now AIRTEL again n again disconnect my connection due to which i face a lot of problems in my business. Now, i am looking forward the way to consumer court to get the full claim of my loss and teach the lesson to AIRTEL.

Dear sir,

Wrongly deducted charges for java game which is not supported my handset.

Bymistake i pressed add in my application airtel deducted Rs. 99/- after that game was not downloaded, again i registered complaint but it was closed without contacted to me.

Airtel has to give option to cutomer re confirm while purchase any things sometime it will not require to us.

Please re open my complaint or wave off the charges.

I would like to inform the head of the DTH operations of airtel to kindly look into the problem i am facing regarding the unavailability of some of the channels included in my package.Due to satellite migration and realignment of dish I was deprived of viewing some channels for a long time. In spite of several correspondence to the customer care center they falsely assured every time that your complaint will be rectified within five days or 24 hrs.I started correspondence with care center with effect from 13.6.2012 to 5.7.2012.Lastly i was informed that an engineer will visit to attend to my problem from Tinsukia district,Assam.But till date no such step has been taken by the customer care center.
I would kindly request you to compensate the amount i was charged for the unavailable channels of my package.If no further action is taken then i would surely remove this DTH service after the expiry of my validity.

Hi,

I had taken an airtel IPTV connection, and am trying continuously to disconnect this service as its crappy, I have so far placed multiple requests to disconnect, but some how it gets reactivated again and i am being changed 250 INR from Oct 2011, the date of my first request placed to disconnect.

My several calls are recorded, but no action is taken ever, i placed emails to their nodal office as well but still no action..

Other users of this site please note, Airtel has gone to dogs, they were good service providers before now they have just lost it. they dont thake their equipment back after you disconnect as well. I still have the Airtel Dish and STB with me which i had used before Airtel IPTV.

Please help take action on this.

This is in reference to Airtel Number [protected], for which all the bills have been cleared. But repeatedly calls are being made stating that there is an outstanding amount of Rs. 1696.00 on this number.

This started when one of our employees left the organization in March, this number was allotted to her and the bills were paid by the company. We made a request for surrender of connection in March and were told that there is an outstanding amount and without clearing that, the services cant be stopped.
After the generation of next bill, services were stopped and Airtel people started chasing us for Rs. 4147.20. Out of this Rs. 4147.20, Bill for Feb - March was Rs. 2451, which was paid after the bill generation. Still we were being bothered for Rs. 1696.00.
We checked our internal records and past bills and found that this bill dates back to the usage for the period of 8.10.11. to 7.11.11 and the same was paid on 30th November 2011 (Cheque no. 399645, Bank of Maharashtra, Issued on 22nd Nov 2011).
We sent a mail to Airtel stating that this payment has not been updated in their records. We have sent them the bills for last one year alongwith Bank of Maharashtra statement showing the payment details.
But Airtel people and the settlement party seems to be a bunch of fools, thrice we have mailed these details to them, still a court notice has been sent to us.
This is not enough, they sent a person for collection of payment, who was rude and pathetic. And apart from this we are constantly getting calls and those who call up are lacking mannerism and understanding.

One snapshot showing the bills on the rightmost column, cheque number and cheque clearing date has been attached with this complaint.
Kindly look into this matter.

Airtel demanding charges for Safe Custody which is unfair. Request all IT professionals to have a knowledge of the same and change the service provider by keeping the same number. They even are charging to talk to Customer care. Their Cust Care Centres are pathetic. They treat you as though you have come to ask money from them. Lose all the time there.

I would like to question as to why they charge money for safe custody? What is that they are offering to the customer by doing so.


My idea for all the customers fed up with the Safe custody charges is to change to another service provider who gives safe custody free of charge and after coming back decide which service provider you want to go for to use the mobile services.

For Now, some one needs to teach airtel a lesson for them to come on ground level.
