Airtel Prepaid — Blocking of SIM/Mobile No.

Sir,

I purchased a prepaid no from Airtel on 19 dec 2007. For Identity verification, I submitted required document along with the filled form. After few days, my outgoing call facility has been blocked.

I talked to customer care. They told me that I need to submit my documents once again. And, I submitted it to Airtel Office at vikas marg in the hand of Airtel executive. She verified all the document and form, and she gave me receipt. After two days, incoming and outgoing from my no started.

After two days, again my no has blocked. This time my sim/Mobile No. has been blocked completely. When I talked to customer care executive, he did not clarify the reason to blocking my no. They only said their used to lines, "Submit your document for Identity proof".

I got completely fed up from the services provided by the airtel. The customer care executive do not giving the proper response or reason of the problem.

Please suggest.
Thanks

Airtel Lifetime Prepaid — Short Recharge

Hi All,

The airtel connection has continously beeing downgraded. IS there anyone who can help on this? My card has been automatically blocked and when contacted customer care the executive replies contact ur nearest airtel office.

This is some kind of joke or what. DONT THE AIRTEL PEOPLE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO EXCEPT HARRASSING.

The service of airtel is so pathetic and downgraded.

I have been using this number [protected] for past 2 months nad the airtel executives states its not registered under my name.

This is a big fooling around with customers.

I NEED CLARIFICATION ON WHY MY CARD WAS BEING BLOCKED AFTER 2 MONTHS.

This is the third time I am facing this issue. Earlier also i had mailed airtel but with no response.

Please stop harrassing people and provide better service.

Looking forward for your reply. Do the needful immediately.

Thanks,

sir,

My sim is blocked.On my asking to Airtel Customer care they says that I have to take a new sim, because the sim can't reopen.

It is very sad to inform u that in todays world - technology reaches to its peak but the service providers are in the same stage or on the same footing like a beginner, who can't trace out the problem-It is the duty of the Airtel Service provider to find out the solution like this (how to open the blocked sim) instead of making an EXCUSE, Because the Airtel is a very big Company.

Sir,
I have an airtel prepaid sim card with number [protected].I had got it lifetime registered with Rs.999.
But now it shows that my registration has failed.Kindly reactivate it.
Dear Sir,

My airtel sim card registration was failed on 11/10/2009...It was prepaid no([protected]) of mumbai circle which I had taken two years back from one of the shop in goregaon. But when I had visited airtel gallery on 12/10/2009 I came to knew that this number is running in some one else name ( Sandeep). So they told me it cant be re acitvated. Its not my fault if your dealer has done some thing wrong because while takin sim card I had given my documents. & even this number is mapped with all my institutes & Bank..& I am the owner of sim card.

So its my humble request to you please activate my number. & I was stunned when a guy in airtel gallery told me It wil take 2500 Rs to activate your number. So Plz u take any action else I have to do some thing & surely I wil show you the hell by suing Bharti Airtel.

So plz activate my Airtel No- [protected]

my name is kamlesh k. yadav and my no. is [protected]. on[protected] my sim card is showing " SIM CARD REGISTRATION FAILED" but the problem is that when this msg was showing on my mobile after some time the same no i.e. [protected] is calling my friend...how is it possible????
i want all the information abt this
Purchased a card on the 5th of march 2010 from the airtel dealer in frazer town bangalore . On the 18th of march without any prior warning my card gets recycled. I loose all the talk time in it the customer care says that it was because the card was registered in someone else's name and that i need to speak to the dealer. So i go to the dealer and he says that he had followed up with the address verification team and that there was no problem. He suggest i take a new card. It was then that i remembered that when i was applying for this card another customer had the very same issue and was quarreling with the executives there. So i decided to do some research and on google "Airtel SIM registration failed" brings up 11800 results, so if airtel were to be barring 10, 000 helpless customers each with 100rs balance they make a cool additional 10, 00, 000 rs profits.That should help the march quarter results. it'll help fund the zain take over as welll...
my cell no is [protected] why u cut my no. it will show sim card reistration failed clear me immediately

Airtel Prepaid — SIM Card Failure

On 18.04.11 (Monday), at 11.06 am, I paid Rs.205.00 through the authorised Agent to recharge my Airtel Moble (Prepaid) No. [protected]. Recharge was successful but the Mobile phone screen displayed 'SIM Card Registration failed'.

(TXID 99153767, DEMO No.[protected].)

I approached their Gallery at MG Road, Kandivli to reactivate. I was told that since I was not using the phone for more than 3 months and not recharged for Min. Rs. 200.00 during last 6 months,the connection is deactivated. But the No. is not recycled and the No. is transferred to Postpaid Mode. I furnished all required documents for reactivation in Post paid Mode and also paid Rs. 300.00 as deposit. They promised to do the needful by same day evening 6 pm. Nothing was done till next Monday, 25.04.11. They returned the deposit paid by me and advised me to approach the Authorised Agent to get back the money (Rs.205.00) paid by me for recharge on 18.04.11. They also showed me on the Computer screen that my account shows a credit balance of Rs. 205.00 on my No. [protected].

The Authorised Agent expressed their inability to help me out and told me to approach the Company's Gallery only for the purpose.

I have no idea, who is right and who is wrong, but definitly I feel the Gallery could only have done that since I was correctly advised by the Authorised Agent in the beginning itself.

While in the process, I have lost Money is one factor but I have two questions to the Company.
i. If the SIM Card Registration was suspended, how it accepted the Recharge.?
ii.Since my account is showing the balamce as Rs. 205.00 recharged by me on
18.04.11, how come the reactivation either in Post paid or Pre paid could not
be done in 8 days time ?

My Request : I should get my money back without any further delay or alternati
vely, my Mobile No. [protected] should be re-activated in Pre paid
mode only (NOT post paid). Thanks
I stand by my complaint
Hello,
I Rahul R have been using this number for the past four and a half years and i just got to know that my sim card has been disconnected due to "NON USAGE" and the number has been recycled.I have validity on the prepaid sim card till September 24th 2011 and even if the connection was being disconnected i think the customer should have been intimated at least in the first place rather than doing it without even letting him know.Moreover now coming to the usage part..I agree that there has not been much outgoing from my mobile phone however if I'm right and this does exist in your records there has been incoming usage on the telephone till 24th of may,So i really have no idea from where the 120 days of non usage thing came into.I tried contacting your customer care and to be frank...the words rude and unhelpful aren't the right adjectives to be used for the way they spoke to a customer.All ihave been hearing from your customer care executives is that the number has been recycled..I mean how can you go ahead and do that with out even informing the customer and the worst reason i heard the first time i called regarding this issue was that the documents were not proper..however that statement was retracted by your agent when i told him i had the photocopies of the document that i had submitted back in september 2010 and then he came back to say the same thing that the number has been recycled.I hope you do look into my case and help me out with what has to be done rather than once again give the same reply that the number has been recycled due to non usage.

regards,

    Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

    I had received a phone call from PACE Cellulars in Mira Road East regarding sale of Post Paid Airtel Sim Card. To which I agreed as I was looking for additional sim card for Blackberry usage. Mr.Rakesh Chake had come to my house and collected Rs.300/- which they said is adjustable amount in the billing cycle, my documents such as Passport Copies, Pan Card, Voter ID Card xerox copy was submitted along with application form with photo attached and counter signed. I was told, I would be getting sim card in one day if the payment is made in cash. Therefore cash payment was done and I have received Order Form cum Receipt number : PC4821 dated 12th Dec, 2011.
    I have constantly approached them, I had also received an sms from [protected] and they gave me few options of numbers, after that they also allotted me the mobile number [protected] and said they will dispatch the activated card in 48hours, again when not received I approached PACE Cellulars and I spoke to Ms.Neha & Supriya, and they said maybe that number has been allocated to someone else, they will revert with fresh number. Today is 31st Dec and till date there is no sim card received. Today I tried contacting PACE Cellulars on their office number 32422705, but there is no response. I request you to kindly look into it on priority, this has given me mental torture since last 19 days and there is nothing concrete happening

      Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

      This Complaint is against Airtel DTH. After a lot of research, I decided to go for Airtel DTH. Even though I read and heard a lot of bad things about Airtel DTH 's service I decided to take the risk because of Movies Now HD channel which was not available in Tatasky.
      To be on the safer side, I asked the sales team representative (outsourced by Airtel to Vertex group, Mumbai) to send me the email confirmation and
      that's when they started spilling the bean. They had initially agreed for life time HD channels free but I asked for an email confirmation the representative (By name Preethi of vertex) said she just checked with her manager and that offer doesn't exist anymore and she was not aware of it. Same story repeats with respect to the installation date.
      After getting to see their real color I decided to back off from Airtel.

      Unfortunately I changed my decision and thought of going back to Airtel because of the channel package which was attractive. The representative (By name Mandar) promised to get the installation done by 30th December Noon. I booked 2 connections (1 HD and the other one SD) on 29th afternoon by paying 3800 Rupees and luckily this time I recorded the conversation where the promises were made. I was given a number 12148, to contact for further installation related queries.

      Today since the time when it was well past the deadline accepted by airtel themselves, I have been trying to speak to several of the airtel customer care representatives at 12148 and have been witnessing shocking responses one after the other.

      One says they never do it before 48 hours, I asked why did they promise? they hang up the phone!
      Second one says, Installation team will follow it up it and there is nothing that they can do about it!
      Third says speak to the person (Mandar of vertex group) with whom you booked, where in there is no way I can contact that person now as they dont have incoming.
      Fourth one (by name Kedar) when we insisted that we want to speak to his manager, hangs up the phone on our face.
      By the time we made fifth and sixth calls, I guess Airtel had black listed me and simply used to hang up the moment we say the name (We here is me and my wife)

      Can some body help me get my money out of Airtel! That would help, Please!

      I totally agree with you. Vortex Group on behalf of Airtel DTH doing fraud with customers and giving false promises.
      I totally agree with you. I have never been shocked like this with such a pathetic service and response for consumer queries. I think vertex group will soon destroy customers faith on Airtel services. I suggest you directly buy DTV products from Airtel website and never fall in Vertex groups false promises and offers "worth nothing".
      I am another victim of Airtel.
      I am also going through the same situation.
      I have been using Airtel DTH and now thought o[censored]pgrading to HD STB.
      I paid 1999 and i have been promised by Santosh stating that the installation would be done in 48 hours.
      1 week passed, no one even cared to call me up. When I call back they make all false promises.
      I was totally upset and asked them to cancel the connection and refund back my amount.
      They didnt even care to ask me a reason why I would like to cancel. They straight away accepted to cancel the connection.
      However till now my money is not refunded.
      I have been asked to sent an e-mail to their manager - sameer.[protected]@vertexgroup.co.in and till now i did not get any response from them.
      The worst part is these guys dont even give you a complaint number when you raise an issue.

      Finally I could log a complaint from Airtel website from which I got a complaint number but sadly no response on that complaint as well. They said they would get back to me in 2 working days but it is all seem to be fake.

      I lost Rs.1999/-...
      I did online payment for Airtel DTH on 9th October, 2012 & was assured by Shaheen that shall get the dish fixed on 10th October, 2012.
      While making the payment it was clearly informed to Shaheen that the connection needs to be done after 7:00pm & on 10th October, 2012. Now i get calls from Mr. Ankur (HF, Greater Noida) that the connection cannot be done after 7:00 pm.
      As per information from Mr. Ankur, you people have lied & it is not possible to complete the connection after 6:00 pm as the day end at 6:00 pm & the engineers are not available.
      Kindly repay my payment as your dealer is unable to keep your words & as per him you are liar.

          I purchased a prepaid connection from Airtel office in Nandidurg road on 19th Dec2011. While buying I was told this prepaid connection will all over India. Later I travelled to Hyderabad & was shocked to findout there was no connectivity. Upon several calls and visits to Airtel area customer relationship office i was told there was no way they could resolve the problem since i had purchased the sim in Bangalore. I even made a complaint with regional nodal & they gave me a complaint number and promised to resolve it within 48 hours. Its more than a week and to this day no one from Airtel has even bothered to call me let alone resolve my problem.

              I activated airtel's 3G service and make recharge of Rs.1250 on 15th december 2011 and its validity is till 14th january 2012.But from 23rd december 2011 ,i am not getting 3G speed.I am getting 2G speed on my handset.i have made complaint in this regard on 23rd december. but they have not taken action and i am still getting only 2G speed.between 26th to 29th airtel's internet was totally unavailable.service resumed on 29th but then also i am getting 2G speed .
              when i try to call airtel customer care there is no response .
              please help me. airtel should either refund my balance or extend validity.
              I have connectivity problem to my home town karnataka.I first face this problem in april then i made complaint and got solved after 7 days and after that i m facing this problem every alternate week.
              I m again facing this problem
              SINCE LAST 6 TO 7 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN FACING THE PROBLEM IN NETWORK CONNECTION IN ALMOST EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY,,,,EVEN IN MY HOME THERE IS NO PROPER NETWORK CONNECTION OF AIRTEL POSTPAID CONNECTION...........LOTS & LOTS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE COMPANY....BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL STILL.
              i had registered a complaint to customer care regarding connectivity problem, and i got a message that the problem will be bresolved by 14 sept, but it has not yet resolved. the complaint was that i am unable to call on a landline no [protected] (state-goa), it is giving a error message that this no doesnot exist. meanwhile a called to customer care and to my surprise the representative told me that in your airtel internal system the complaint resolving officer had stated that the complanit is resolved but not closed and the my landline doestnot exist in this regard i would like to suggest the concerned officer that if this no doestnot exist than how airtel company took charges from me calling that no since last one year and for his/her kind information this is my landline residence no in goa.

              similar problem i faced before couple of months and it took 20 days.
              I AM USING AIRTEL ,AIRTEL NO.[protected] USING AIRTEL INTERNET EVERYMONTH RECHARE 98 INTERNET PACK NOT A GOOD SPEED, CONNETIVITY IS VERY POOR, REQUEST FAILED,TIME OUT ,AUTOMATIC DISCONNECT DOWNLOADING IS VERY SLOW LONG VIDEO IS NOT DOWNLOAD ERROR TIME OUT OR REQUEST FAILED ,MANY SITES ARE NOT OPEN I AM USING ALL TIMES AIRTEL MY PREVIOUS NO.

              I agree with u.. The same problem is with me... i have also tried calling Customer care but landup with no proper solution.. AIRTEL Communication Team should take a note that there are many customers who have just paid atlesat Rs.10, 00, 000+++ For your Damn 3G service and what we all receive is N for Nothing..
              Rather Extend our Due dates of our 3G Services our need a Refund... coz that money what we gave u is of for what use..?? .. If your Network has billion of issues than y u promote that Fake TV ads o[censored]r 3G service.. plz stop ur 3G service i[censored] cant Run it properly... coz ur loosing ur customers...

                  I am again giving complaint to - HARYANA Airtel !
                  Mobile number- [protected]

                  In Aug 2010 , I complaint which was sorted out but - from last 1 week its again irritating me because of only -
                  - I am living in delhi and willing to activate my haryana number due to only because this number is most of in my family
                  - Daily without any reason - Airtel deducting money and no sms alert, no caller tunes and no any call from airtel regarding this issue.

                  I am very very surprised that- Bharti Airtel is not a small company but the staff is doing very small and stupid things with their customers ?
                  How they maintain all these things ?? really dont know - because I am feeling irritate with this issue second time.

                  I already have Idea Delhi , Reliance Delhi number and BSNL haryana at my home.
                  - I really did not face any problem from last 5 years with these mobile service providers, but with this Airtell bharti - they are really really embarrassing me a lot.

                  If its will not short out with in this week then - I will stop all airtel services and will change it to other service provider.

                        Airtel Mobile — Unwanted subscription service

                        I have been charged Rs. 15/- after every 10 days saying that "You have been renewed for model_wap_pack subscription service from Airtel".

                        I have been charged Rs. 50/- for almost thrice since last month for this idiotic service"You have been renewed for model_wap_pack subscription service from Airtel".

                        It is almost taking 90% of whatever i am having in my prepaid connection and leaving it with a balance of almost 00 rs every time (When i had 9 rs it charged Rs 5 and when i had 65 balance it charged Rs 50)

                        I never expected such a bad service fro AIRTEL

                        Please stop these unwanted charges immediately as I do not know how this service is added to my mobile no. [protected]

                        Airtel — UnWanted Subscription Charges

                        Hello,

                        I a Citizen of India, AIRTEL screws people like blood suckers.
                        They charge the customers for subscription like CNEWS, Images for which the customers have not subscribed.

                        This happened with me before a month ago, i was been charged Rs.1 per day for CNEWS, which i have not subscribed for, as i called Customer Care they said that i have been subscribed for CNEWS, later they deposited Rs.2 in my account & unsubscribed me from the service.
                        If would have subscribed they would not deposit a single penny in my account as they already know that i have not subscribed for the service, hence they deposited Rs.2.

                        Later i recharged for Rs.60, which i was not aware that this was an Booster pack for sending SMS. I called customer care & said that i was unaware about the Booster pack & they said that as i have recharged for Rs.60, its my fault.
                        But, the most interesting thing was if i send SMS they charged Rs.1 per SMS, then i called Customer care & enquired for the same,but this time they said a very good excuse that i have not recharged at all, but i had the recharge number after that they did not answer any of my call, when i call them they put me on long hold and my cost rises to Rs.6 to 10 per call & i left them.
                        My mobile Number is: [protected], STOP screwing the happiness of Customers......

                        AirTel — unwanted subscription charged

                        After repeated request made by me to Airtel customer care for not to charge for subscription o[censored]nwanted services again i have been charged Rs 10 and Rs 5 for hello tunes today . i got message from AX5432126 for service activation, After repeated requested Airtel is subscribing me unwanted services which i do'nt want so please help me to get rid of this problem.

                              Let me first mention my fault: I have applied to port out from Airtel and move to Idea Cellular.

                              Immediately on the next day afternoon after submitting porting application, a lady calls me who says she's from Airtel (caller's landline number is[protected]. She asks me if I wanted to port out of Airtel, after hearing my affirmative answer she asks what documents did I submit to the new operator. To this I reacted by saying I've submitted requisite documents as per guidelines of MNP.

                              She keeps pressing me to tell her what papers I've submitted to RNO (recipient network operator). Then I politely tell her that look, I've told you that I fulfilled the official formalities as per norms of MNP and it is done at Idea Cellular store in my locality.

                              Now begins the epic abuse story. She talks to someone nearby, a male voice is heard, they both laugh for a moment, then she gets back to me and in a mocking tone she says and I'm quoting (translating it) ~ "Where did you get Idea? There's no such thing called Idea in Kolkata!"

                              I was greatly taken aback at this kind of behavior, her voice was so terribly mocking me! I couldn't also understand how Bharti Airtel is underestimating Aditya Birla Group! Then I said, "what do you mean? I've wanted to port to Aditya Birla Group's Idea Cellular and you say there's nothing like that in Kolkata?" Again, she talks to the male person nearby, they laugh again.

                              Again she gets back to me and this time she says "where did you submit the documents?"; to this I again said that I've already told her I did it at a Idea store. She reverts back to her mockery again, she says "oh please tell me clearly you didn't submit documents at a roadside shop, did you?"

                              Just imagine the level of disrespect and abuse that was being thrown at me! All this long I was feeling highly tempted to shout back but since at the other end was a lady and true Indians never dishonor a lady, I didn't show any kind of disrespect towards her. But Airtel made me feel highly victimized, for no fault of mine. I just wanted to port out, that's my fault?

                              NOW, I am reading serious allegations against DNO (donor network operators) all around the web, I am afraid that Airtl is already motivated to reject MNP requests and my porting will also be definitely rejected, specially after this kind of a call. This lady hung up by saying "OK" in a tone which sounded like "you're going to pay for this"...

                              I am registing this complaint here and I'll post follow-up of next happenings. It seems that giant corporates are in a major killing spree, they're badly attacking customers - all due to this MNP and government is either careless or ignoring the major problem around the MNP thing. I see customers are highly suffering.

                                Higher Officers of Airtel,

                                Please be informed that, for more than 96 hours, I’m not able to use my airtel sim card (mobile number: [protected]) since it has been de-activated for no reason, inspite of the fact that I’m having a positive balance of Rs. 232 and validity is upto 2037.

                                IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED WITHIN TODAY AND IF I’M STILL NOT ABLE TO USE MY AIRTEL SIM CARD TOMORROW, I WILL BE TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST AIRTEL FOR DEACTIVATING MY SIM CARD AND NOT PROVIDING ME THE PROMISED SERVICES, INSPITE OF THE FACT THAT MY AIRTEL PREPAID BALANCE IS POSITIVE AND VALIDITY IS 2037.

                                Don’t think that this is a joke. I will definitely move to court of law if Airtel fails to re-activate my sim card and my services within today.

                                Please find my alternate contact numbers (if you are not able to reach me on one of these numbers, you can reach me on the other number):

                                My Office number:[protected] AM – 5 PM)

                                Importance: High


                                Airtel Officers,

                                I’m an airtel Karnataka mobile pre-paid customer (+91-[protected]).

                                For the last couple of days, I found that my airtel sim card is not able to receive any signal from any of the airtel towers in Bangalore.

                                I set my phone to do a “manual search” of the available networks and tried to select airtel from the list of available networks.

                                But, then, I was getting an error telling that “No network access”.

                                I initially suspected that it could be my handset problem and inserted my airtel sim card in other handsets and I’m facing the same problem in all the handsets.

                                Because of this, I’m not able to place or receive any calls (both voice & data calls).

                                I’m having a positive balance of INR 230 and my validity is till Nov-2037.

                                So, I called up the airtel customer care (from a different phone) and reported this issue to them.

                                But, airtel customer care executives denied to register any complaint on this regard.

                                That is why, I’m writing to you, higher officers of Airtel.

                                Please look into this issue with high priority and take necessary action for restoring my airtel simcard status back to original state so that I can avail airtel voice & data services, again.

                                Thanks,

                                Prakash Udayakumar.

                                    Address: Raipur, Chhattisgarh

                                    Hello Sir/Madam,

                                    Myself, Dipen Majumder (Mobile: [protected]) and I have been using Airtel telecom & broadband since 2008. I always found Airtel Broadband service is better than any other known Internet service providers in India in terms of Quality, Accuracy and excellent Customer Service. But suddenly all of my perceptions about Airtel services turned out to be an absolute disaster.

                                    During May-June 2011, I was out of my city (Raipur, Chhattisgarh) with the family. So, my telephone + broadband bills (Turbo 1299 BB Plan. Telephone no:[protected] / Account no:[protected] of Rs. 7600 (around) for two months remained unpaid & my services were barred. Fair enough !!

                                    I came back home in July, 2011 and after few days I got a call on my cell from a person Mr. RISHI MALIYA (Mobile no: [protected]) from Airtel Office (Raipur). He informed me about the dues and booked an appointment with me to collect the payment. On 15 July 2011 (Friday) he visited my home and I gave him Rs.7500 (in cash) along with a written application for closing the connection (as I was having another Airtel connection). He gave me a signed(by himself) payment collection receipt (serial no:355034) and took my application (for account closure) with him & promised me that he would personally submit the same and my connection (telephone + broadband) will be closed.

                                    After two months I got a new telephone bill of Rs. 3870 mailed to my address. I called 121 & enquired the whole thing. What I got to know was very shocking!!

                                    1) On 15th July 2011, only Rs. 3500 was credited to my Airtel A/C instead of Rs. 7500 (collected from me by Mr. Rishi Maliya)
                                    2) My connection could not be closed as no such ‘A/C closure request’ was received by Airtel at any point of time.

                                    I informed the whole matter to the customer care executive (15th Sep 2011) and asked for his help. He enquired the name & contact no. of the payment collector and also suggested me to mail the whole matter along with the Collection Receipt’s scanned picture to [protected]@airtel.in and [protected]@in.airtel.com. He also booked one complaint (ID:4083738 ) against the issue & also raised a request (ID:4085404) for Account Closure as well. I wrote & email the whole issue with the receipt (scanned ) copy to Airtel on the same day.

                                    Up to this point, I had no problem with Airtel as I understood that the company did not cheat me but one of their employees/hired agent did.

                                    Airtel CCE promised me that –

                                    1) They will look after the whole issue very seriously and come with an appropriate solution within 3 - 4 days.
                                    2) If they find my issue is genuine, they will adjust the bill and take appropriate actions.

                                    Days passed no email, no calls from Airtel. I contacted 121 again and told the whole ‘Mahabharat’ with the previous complaint id(s). The whole process was repeated. New Complaint (ID: 4804266) issued > 2nd Email was sent.

                                    This time the post-complaint scenario was better than before. I got calls from Local Airtel office > told the whole matter again > Gave them the Name and Mobile No. of Mr. Rishi Maliya (as they asked fot that ).

                                    Dramatically Mr. Rishi Maliya called me on the same day and continuously asking for my help as his jobs was under stake. He requested me not to pick up any calls from Airtel or told them that “I am not Dipen Majumder” .. blah..blah.. I strictly denied his request & all suggestions. I had recorded the whole conversation with him on my cell phone.

                                    I was happy and hopeful as I thought some actions were being finally taken on this issue. But for my surprise there was no further call/news I can remember I had received from the company.

                                    Days passed > No further bills > No news from Airtel

                                    I called 121 again on 21st Oct 2011 to know the final status of my issues. One of the Customer Care Executives told me that my connection has been cancelled recently and all the related issues were resolved. (Reference no: 4804266).

                                    I was relaxed !! But not for many days ….

                                    On 21st December 2011 I got a call on my mobile from a Govt. Advocate Manoj Mishra (Mobile no: [protected]) from Delhi Tis Hazari Court He told me that he was calling regarding a case file registered (under Section 420 IPC) against me on Delhi Tis Hazari Court for not paying the outstanding telephone bill of Rs.3441 for the Airtel No:[protected] / Account no: 14051010 and now this case was going to be presented infront of the Justice on the same day at 11.30 AM.

                                    See the height of harassment!!

                                    I told him the whole thing. He then suggested me to make a payment of Rs. 3441 first by visiting the nearest Airtel office/collection center and then provide him the Bill Receipt No. before 11.30 AM and only after that he can process the matter in my favour by sending me an ‘NOC’ first and then he will send a letter to the Company (Bharti )asking them to enquire the whole matter and release a refund to me within just 3 - 4 days.

                                    Immediately after that I called 121 and told the whole matter. The CCE suggested me to do the same as the advocate told me to do and also assured me that this issue will be resolved within 28th December 2011.

                                    Finally I made another Payment of Rs. 3440 (Receipt no:[protected] ) by visiting Airtel office and sms the payment details to Advocate Manoj Mishra.

                                    Atlast I turned out to be a real stupid. Because -

                                    1) An Airtel agent came to my home and collect Rs. 7500 from me but deposit Rs.3500 to Airtel
                                    2) After contacting 121 for more than 10 times I got confirmation on account cancellation and got to know that all issues were solved (ID: 4804266)
                                    3) After 2 months some Govt. Advocate from Delhi called me to inform that Airtel had filed a case (under Section 420 IPC ) against me
                                    4) I had to make another payment of RS.3440 for absolutely no offence.


                                    The latest news on this issue is that I have not received any updates / news from Airtel or any Refunds from anybody. I contacted them today (28 Dec 2011) and Customer Care Executive told me that I need to visit the Airtel office with the Receipts and tell them the whole issue again (I did it two times earlier).

                                    Ridiculous!!! Disgusting!!!!

                                    Sorry for this long post but I have no other way left to express my stupidity for subscribing to Airtel services. I still hope someone behind this forum can really help me out.

                                    I have attached a scanned image containing two payment receipts
                                    Feb 9, 2020
                                    Complaint marked as Resolved 
                                    I am marking this complaint as ‘resolved’ in the year 2020 (after nine years). The local Airtel office contacted me, settled the dues, and suspended that employee.

                                    Dear Customer care,

                                    I have asked for a plan 256 kbps unlimited. The bill has been genrated for the same.

                                    It has been brought to my light that i have been offered 512 kbps for upto 5gb and then 128 kbps speed thereafter.

                                    This being said, this is a clear case of cheating me. I have been calling up your customer service help line. and i was assured that the same will be looked into- that i will be revised back to the original plan of 256 kbps.

                                    The customer service agent i spoke to yesterday agreed to the fact that the error was from airtels end and not from my end.

                                    He has confirmed the same by reference to my trailing mail.

                                    This is extremely unprofessional on part of Airtel.

                                    As per Manas- i am quoting the interaction id -1093412.

                                    please do the needful and make sure that i get the plan for which the bill has been generated.

                                    Cheers

                                    Airtel Telecommunication — bill payment

                                    I am bringing an issue to you. I paid Rs. 700 to S.Singh(Airtel Executive)
                                    against the bill of my land line no [protected] on 19 April 2011. The executive
                                    was sent by Airtel itself. My receipt number is 5942032. I have been complaining
                                    to Airtel customer care for past 15 days, but it seems that they are not
                                    bothered about it. Today outgoing service of land line also got disconnected
                                    .The complaint number is 45650226. I request you to kindly consider my complaint
                                    and look into the matter.

                                    Thanks

                                    Sir,
                                    Thanks for your response to this issue, but I am not getting any positive response from customer care, in fact I am getting calls to pay the outstanding amount. The same complaint was forwarded to the nodal officer with a scanned copy of bill receipt. Kindly mention the the time period your require for the solution.



                                    Thanks

                                    Airtel Broadband — Cheating & Harrasment

                                    Hope you can read and justify why I should not file a lawsuit

                                    There were several instances where I caught them cheating with customers. I had Airtel Broadband for over an year time involving two different connections. A/C numbers 16013469 and [protected].

                                    The connection was taken somewhere about October or November 2010 with A/C number 16013469. The plan was Unlimited 4MBs 10GB for Rs 899+tax. Since day one I started to have an issue with the connection. The connection that was provided to me was Unlimited 512 KBPS 10GB for Rs 899+tax. So I went to your customer service and inspite of taking an complaint for not providing me the correct service they placed a request on my name for plan change without my concern. This took about 20 days for them to rectify the issue. I still had to pay for that month which I did. I had paid additional 500 RS for the Binatone Modem. Trust me this is the worst modem I have seen in my life. The LAN port started to stall and final stopped responding after a month. Requested for a new modem. The engineer came and installed a used modem and told me that there is no stock and will not be able to supply the new modem for 2 days. Two days turned in to 20 still the modem did not arrive. The modem was also having the same problem so I decided to by my own modem.

                                    I just let it go as the service was smooth with no issues till March 2011 until the Servers were put on so called upgrade. After that even though my modem was switched off the the data transfer was shown in my daily usuage. However I have clearly shown the incorrect calculation of the usage and my speed was reduced. I logged a call with the Customer service and the great customer service executive took the complaint as a billing issue. Don’t understand a simple thing if my plan is unlimited usage with the same amount why would I log a billing complaint? My next step was to go to Appellate Officers and Nodal Officers and had proved my point to Alcatel as well who was handling the complaint that time and the service was restored. I had to repeat the same for over 6 times in 6 months. It also so happened that I was out of station for 10 days and received a message that I had exceeded 80% of the usage I was shocked to add to it I didn’t had a wireless connection that time. The electricity connection was disconnected by BESCOM as I was not able pay on time being out of station. I tried to log a complaint with the customer service the person did not want to log a complaint as well so had to request for a disconnection. After 2 days the connection was barred without any communication so I walked up to Airtel Office there no one was bothered to handle a customer who came with a complaint or disconnection all of them were busy and willing to attend only the customers who were looking for a new connection. I was furious with this behavior and asked them for their manager. I was later attended by a senior member but not a manager. I explained him the situation and he called Ms Sowmya ([protected]) supposed to be customer care lead and she assured that the connection will go under retention and will not be disconnected. So I returned home. After 2 days the connection was completely terminated.

                                    Since then I spoke to with Venkat ( [protected]), Sunil ([protected]), Sowmya ([protected]), Ashutosh ([protected]) all assured me that the connection will be re-established within 30 mins which actually never happened. After 5 days someone called me and informed that I have re submit my documents to get the connection re-established as the connection was disconnected. They were not willing to understand that the connection was discontinued on their own will without taking to me. Later one of the technician visited my premise and to install a new connection. There I was given a completely a new connection with a landline connection without any handset with account number [protected]. I was told that the connection will be monitored to check if there was any problem. But soon within 10 days the speed was again slashed. I requested for the activity logs from Airtel which I was denied. In the 1st month only I stopped the payment. This happened in the month of November 2011 and as usual the collection team started calling. I keep telling them why I have discontinued the payment and all I get to hear is “Ok sir I will check with my manager and get back to you”.

                                    And One fine day after returning to office I found that the wire was cut from outside and the wire remaining inside my house was pulled so hard that my mode fell on the floor and broke. I still did not react. The calls disappeared for about 3 months and suddenly one of the executive visited my premise and started with a loud voice that I have to pay the money and we don’t care if you had a problem the connection is in your name and you have to pay the money or else we know how to extract the money. I immediately called the police station seeing this he called his manager and handed over the phone to me. I spoke to a person named Akram and he seems to the manager of the collection team. He wanted to know what was the problems that I had faced with the service and I told him in details and he concluded that I will never ever get a call or message asking to make any payment for this connection at all.

                                    But now I am getting the below message.

                                    Dear Customer, This is Reg Del no. 4204198 for which o/s of Rs. 7459 is overdue since 4mths. Kdly Mk pymt imdtly to avoid legal Proceeding For payment pickup, please do get in touch with our representative. Mr. Ashok on [protected]. (Believe me this is not a typo or a short hand I tried in this message. This is the exact wording of the message I have received).

                                    I called the number and wanted to enquire who was Mr Ashok. He informed that the he is from the legal team of Airtel. I asked him is he aware of the details of the case the reply was typical Airtel I need not have to know the details of the call this is not my Job I don’t get paid for this. I will check and get back to you.

                                    Customer inconvenience

                                    1. Incorrect information supplied while changing the plan.
                                    2. Money taken but service not provided.
                                    3. Connection disconnected without confirmation.
                                    4. Connection disconnected under retention.
                                    5. Information denied.
                                    6. Connection completely changed without customers concern.
                                    7. Harassment through recovery agents and collection calls.

                                    There is nothing much of customer service you can expect from Airtel.
