Dear Airtel,

I hope you remember me and would be able to recall our discussions a year back on the poor services by Airtel!

Just to site another example, I hd lodged a complaint with your call center on 13th March 2012 at 22:59, ticket #: [protected], which was to be attended on the 14th March 2012 by 10:30m.

I called again as a follow up to this complaint and I was informed by yoru agent Vijay Bhargava that your engineer Rakesh had attended the complaint on the 14th March 2012 at 09:16am and he had met my wife......just to inform you, my wife is a working women and leaves the house by 8:00am every morning and I leave fo work around 09:30am or so.....Rakesh had closed the ticket on his own and your call center agent refused to pass the call to the supervisor as I wanted to escalate the matter!

Needless to say, I strongly believe that Airtel services are absolutely useless and good for nothing! If this is the treatment metted to an ex-employee (I havd worked with Airtel for 4 years approx). then, don;t know what would be happening to all those innocent people who have been duped by your sales team to sign up for the services and pay a good amount each month to Airtel.

Letr me knwo what you would like to say in defending this incident, I would be waiting to hear the story.

Sumeet Sud

IMMEDIATE Relocate the Remote switch operation operated by Bharti AirTel located on the ground floor at 1/2 siddi vinayagar street,cutting muthuranga salai.T.Nagar chennai-600017.I have sent many letters & had discussions with company operations heads chennai, only with an assurance that it will be relocated soon.as I own a flat on the first floor it has become difficult for me to get a tenant as the switch boards generates heat radiation...

My Airtel broad band connection Number is 43360894. I have not subscribed for PC secure services as we are using Norton 360.
Every time it is renewed and an SMS is sent with an instruction that if you want to unsubscribe log in to http://app.airtel.in/pcsecure/ac-----
When I log on, there is no option for unsubscribing. On the other hand I am sked to choose this or that etc.
This is unfair. Unless it is a part of the package I don't want this service.
I don't need this service at a cost of Rs.85/- per month as we are paying for Norton Antivirus 360.
Hence it is submitted that I don not want this service with additional cost.

Hi,

I want to lodge a complaint on consumer forum regarding charges deducted from my Airtel prepaid account. My mobile number is [protected]. I was charged 5 Rs everyday for a service "BIG FAT FREE STORE_5", which was never subscribed by me. I was never informed about this deduction or the activation of this service. I was not even aware that what this service was all about.

Later on, when I noticed that my balance was quite low, I sent an SMS stating "LAST" to airtel customer care number 121. And, I came to know about the last 5 deductions of 5 Rs per day. I called up 121 and spoke with a Customer care representative, and to my utter dissatisfaction, he was only ready to refund a sum of 10 Rs which I didn't accept. I even spoke with their team leader, however she kept on imposing it on me saying that it was me who activated this service using their WAP. It is a service for loosing weight and I am already a healthy person. I felt very disgusted and cheated.

I am an educated person and I am using Internet since a long time now. So, I am aware what I am doing on my phone or PC. I explained this to her but all she could offer me was 10 Rs. only. The sum of 5 Rs daily was being deducted from a long time and now these cheats are offering me 10 rupees refund. I am really sad that a company like Airtel can do this and in such a competitive world where goodwill is a bog word.

Sir, I demand a full refund of all the and an assurance cum apology that no such activation of any service will ever happen without my consent.

Hoping for a strict action and a positive response.

Thanks and Regards,

Manish Sharma

Customer ID - [protected]

I had received a cheque of 1000 Rupees from Bharti Telemedia Limited(Cheque No. 005960 A/c No [protected]) from HDFC Bank because Airtel was not able to provide me a connection.
However the name on the cheque is misspelled as Kusal Takkar. (Instead of Kaushal Thakkar)

I had a word with Mr. Amar Chamelya in the escalation department on 23/02/2012. He had promised that a resolution to this issue would be reached in the next ten days. I had sent this as an email to [protected]@in.airtel.com as a proof. However no updates have been received since then.

Kindly send me the cheque with correct name ASAP.

Thank You

Dear Sir,

I was an employee of Bharati Airtel Services LTD May 2008 to Aug 2009
with employee code B0054329.
Worked as senior officer in Airtel DTH Cochin Kerala.
I have resigned on Aug 2009 & as per HR manager asked (Mr.Felix was at
that time) I have send the Form 19 & 10C to withdraw my Provident fund
amount but I have lost the courier details.
Till now I did not recieaved any confirmation regarding this & I could
not able to track since my salary info is not with me.
So I kindly requesting you to advice me what I have to do to get the
issue solved.
At least just provide my salary information with the employee id just
mentioned above.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Sir,
I draw your kind attention to the following facts:

That I am your customer since 2005 you can verify from your records. I opted Plan 699 at that time in which No Free Calls were allowed.
even speed was very low 128 only.

That I was kept under same plan even you were offering Plan 649 with Rs100/- Free Calls with speed 256.

That when I came to know about this after one & half year of your launching of Plan 649 with free calls at double the speed through your service engineer who was regularly attending my complaints of very low speed. He questioned me why I have kept Plan699 at 128 when better Plan649 with 256 speed & 100/- free calls is available. Please verify from your records that on my complaint to this regard I was told that I should have been in regular touch& opted the new Plan as it was not companies responsibility to Inform about it to Existing Customers.

That the customer's opted Plans are never changed without their consents so the mistake was on my part that I did not opt New Plan 649 at 256speed & Free Calls of Rs.100/- per month. So I was left with No option to remain a sufferer for the past Two years as mistake was indicated on my Part by Airtel.

That now without getting my consents I have been shifted to Plan749 and got a bill for Feb Month as per new Plan. I wish to know why I have been transferred to a new Plan when my existing Plan for the last few years is Rs.649/- monthly rental & Rs.100/- free calls to any Net work.

That I have been charged for the calls also during this period & enhanced bill have been raised for which I have made payments in time as per my Plan649 in Protest so that my services are not got effected.

That I wish to know is it not a Bureaucratic action on part of Airtel. How company can force a Existing Customer to a new Plan without getting consents of the Subscriber. Take in consideration both the cases & take your decision as per Consumer Laws as your action is totally Illegal & Unwanted.

That I wish to remain in my existing Plan649 please amend my previous bill accordingly & don't put me under Mental Harassment by your unwanted action.

I humbly request you to kindly take an appropriate action to avoid unwanted litigation otherwise I shall be compelled to handover the case to my Mom Mrs.Veena Sharma (Advocate) to seek Justice from Consumer Court & TARI as per existing law.

Looking forward for a healthy customary relationship between Service Provider & the Subscriber.

My all telephonic complaints have been turned down by your relevant officers in this regard.

Any loss due to interrupter services till the case is solved will be to your account.

Thanks & Regards.

Dear Sir,


After implementation of new billing system all bills are inflated and you will be forced you to pay those.
Today, I got a call from the Airtel office( Achutha M S – Airtel Karnantaka) to settle my account by Paying Rs. 3000 ( Actual Amount) in place of Rs. 7500.( According to them) and agreed that they had problems with billing systems. Also, he agreed to reconnect my broad band Service with in next 48 Hrs. but now they are forcing me to make the remaining payment and till that time my broad band service will not be reconnected .

Hi,

Channel 529(Abn news) has been removed from Airtel DTH services from past 20 days . When i checked with customer care, they are not sure why this has removed and also not sure when it will back. Please let me know the reason why it has been removed and from when it will available.

Awaiting for reply.

Sir, I am writing to you in fear. Given that in our country, many people with political influence run service agencies, they can physicall harm us for raising a complaint. So please help and tell us how to get our service without facing any problems.

I am writing to you on a complaint I had made on 10.03.2012 to the Airtel customer care for which no action has been taken till now. The worst part is that a fraudulent activity has been done by Airtel which not only demeans your company but also make a fool o[censored]s as a customer.
The person requesting this service in a 66 years old lady and her 82 year old husband, whose source of passing time is praying and watching the TV. I had to suffer the indignity in the hands o[censored]nscrupulous Airtel staff and agents, all because I decided to go with Airtel rather than a more honest service provider.
We had ordered for Airtel HD TV on 7.03.2012. The receipt number is 51272. We paid the money in advance but did not get any response. After a lot of contacting different numbers, the service people came on 10.03.2012. This was to be an additional connection to what we already had in my son’s room.
They however did not bring the entire equipment, and the receiver and power cord were missing from the box. They said that they will bring the receiver the next day and wanted us to sign the forms stating that all work in done and we are satisfied with their work. But this was not right as all work was not done. So when we refused to sign the document, they took back the set top box, promising to return the next day with all equipment.
On the very same day we called 12150, the customer care, and a women on the other side refused to file our complain stating that we don’t have the name and number of the serviceman. How can this be a reason for not recording complaints? We are not complaining against a person, we are stating that we did not get the product we ordered.
However she (Ms. Archana or such) refused and put us the line to Devaraj who called himself the manager of the customer care. He promised that the complaints (mentioned below) would be taken care of and solved the very next day. The complaints were
1. The service was ordered on 7.3.2012 but not active even on 10.3.2012
2. The set top box did not have a seal, it looked like it was used earlier
3. Not all the items mentioned on the cover were in the box
4. We lost service as the old set top box was removed and when replaced, it did not work
The solutions he provided were
1. Service will start on 11.03.2012 morning
2. New sealed piece would be given. Devaraj would himself register this in our name and check if it is an unused piece
3. All items will be provided
4. As a compensation for the loss of service, the validity of the service will be extended by 2 days
He promised to call in the evening after talking to the technical team. But he didn’t.
The next day 11.03.2012 went in wait. We made many calls to the customer care, and every time all the service agents refused to take the complaint and give a complaint number stating that it is already in process. Then why the hesitation to give a number.
The following day, 12.03.2012 unfolded the fraud of Airtel. An honest official told us that in the official records it is mentioned that the set top box is already provided, and activated and working since 10.03.2012. This is an utter lie.
How can I either get my money back or the service provided, in such a way that the providers will not spoil it in a fe months.

I am Airtel customer for more than 7 years. We recently shifted our house within Erode city. Though the place is within the city limits, the network reach is worst. There are many Airtel users in that street (4 connections in our family itself). The person on the other side could not hear what we speak. The tower point is as low as one and rarely two points out of 4.

If the same scenario continues, we may have to switch to other network.

I am bearing Airtel prepaid connection – [protected], on which issues of balance getting deducted by activating useless services automatically. Couple of days back Rs 45-50/- were deducted,

Such kind of incidences are occurring quite frequently now a days, this is really frustrating of every time calling the call center & getting the services deactivated, I guess this is being done intentionally to generate the revenues by this way or the other.

Could you please look into this to get this resolved

I have been using Airtel prepaid service from 2007. When I took the card it was friends card.
My validity was supposed to expire on 6th March 2012. So I asked the customer care which is the voucher for extending the validity and my friends plan should be as it is.
So the customer care suggested me to make recharge of Rs 110/- so that my previous plans would be as it is. I have recharged the of Rs 110/- some where on 28th or 29th feb or on 1st or 2nd march, I do not remember the exact date. Also last year in month of April I have made recharge of rs 26/- (call charges 1rs fro 1st call and 40paise later on, friends plan as it is.)

But from 6th march I have been charged 1 Rs for every call I made also in Happy hours (10:00pm to 06:00Am and 3:00pm to 5:00pm) I was charged 1Rs.
Please tell me how my plan got expired even after extending the validity?

I have been using your services from 2007 and you are not providing me any good service. How can I believe that your company belives in customer satisfaction.
You are just trying to fool me and other customer.
I will have to thing to cancel all my service(including DTH, Prepaid and postpaid mobile connections, data card) with Airtel. Even I would recommend my friends and relatives not to take any services of Airtel.

Even the your customer care support do not have manners to talk to customers. They are saying I have not made any recharge in the month of Feb and march nor do I have made any call to other Airtel number for which I have been charged 1Rs instead of 10p. What a bull and lie statement you are making to me.
If you do not want to provide any kind of good services to your new as well as old customers just tell them clearly soory we cannot provide you any service instead of telling such statement and lying to customers.

Activation of VAS without requesting
I have a pre-paid mobile ([protected]) connection provided by Airtel. The service provider has activated Airtel Gyan Pack service on my mobile connection and debited Rs.14/- till date even when I did not ask for its activation. It is unfair by the service to activate any service without consumer asking for it. Please arrange to DEACTIVATE it immediately & REFILL the deducted amount at the earliest.

I am getting unknown calls from these 2 numbers- [protected], [protected]. When i receive calls from these numbers nobody speaks. I get call from these numbers no. of times in a day.When i try to call back i found these numbers switchoff. Please file a complaint against these numbers so that i dnt get further calls.



Thanks & regards
