Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

Issue:
1) Billing is not as per the bill plan
2) Not received any discounts as per the bill plan: 600mins free call.
3) Actual billing was not reflected on previous connection.

I have requested the change of plan from AES 249 to SUPER SAVER 199 CUG corp plan on 2nd May 2011 on to my connection [protected].

As per that request I received a mail form Mr. Gopinath Ganesh, Customer Care [protected]@in.airtel.com with attached rate plan of SUPER SAVER 199 CUG and to clear the unbilled amount to process the request.

Rate plan:
CUG 0.00
A-A (per min) 0.20
A-M (per min) 0.30
A-L (per min) 0.50
SMS
Local 0.2
National 0.5
International 5.0
Freebies
Local (A-M) 600
CUG free

I have cleared the unbilled amount of 1077 Receipt: OC 12152068 on 4th May and again sent a mail to [protected]@in.airtel.com to change the plan with immediate effect and spoke customer care over the phone on the same time and confirmed that they received the payment.

Again I spoke to customer care on 6th May to confirm whether plan got changed and they confirmed it.

After bill plan change, I received the first bill dated 4th June 2011 amount of 2304. When I verified the bill, billing was not as per the SUPER SAVER 199 CUG corp. Charged flat 50ps for airtel, other mobile and landline and not given 600 mins discount. Immediately I spoke to customer care and explained the issue and then they registered the service request. Day after somebody come to back to me from Airel for saying all call charges are valid, then I demanded to speak to manager, she is connected to Ms Pavithra. Floor Manager. She has identified the issue and manually calculated the bill as per the bill paln. Bill supposed to be Rs.1300. She said can not give Rs.1000 discount and has only Rs. 500 limit. She advised if I want escalate it to Nodel officer to reworking of bill. As per that I spoke to Nodel officer Mr. Vinay and registered the complaint. He promised me that rework will be done until that connection will not be disconnected and make the payment after rework is done.
I did not get the response and meantime 2nd july I got one more bill unfortunately that bill also same problem. Again I called to customer care and explained the issue and then they came to know they converted to wrong plan and from 7th July they again changed the bill plan without noticing me. Whenever I spoke they will be telling me that all charges are valid and when I asked why did the bill plane changed twice then only they registered the compliant.

From last 5 months I was behind of customer care executive and nodel officer to resolve this issue. (Pavithra, Vinay, Ahmmed Anu and many people).They just promised me and did not resolve it. From day one I told will not make any payment until this is been resolved and all nodel officers agreed for that. This issue is there from last five months and still not resolved.

Whenever I registered the complaint they closed complaint without noticing. Like that I have registered around 12-15 complains, this issue is dragged to 5 months and they did not reworked the bill they simply pass Rs500, Rs150 waiver like that and they close it even though I did not asked.

Recently Ms, Anu('arc.[protected]@in.airtel.com') from collection team had called me for payment and after all these she said no one from Airtel promised for SUPER SAVER 199 CUG corp plan because that time plan was does not exist and all call charges are valid.
She requested to send the all the related documents related bill plan change and she also promised that if I sent those documents, she will give the complete waiver and I sent the details to her mail ID arc.[protected]@in.airtel.com and thereafter no reply.

Because of Airel made mistake I suffered, many times my connection disconnected and I have been using this connection since five years.

On 16th November again got a call from Mr. Vinay[protected] saying from Legal department of Bharti airtel ltd. Again explained the issue and informed him that will not make any payment and finally came to final settlement of to pay Rs 3000. As per that made the payment of Rs.3000.

Still now it is not resolved and keeps getting the call from airtel for payment. I am getting frustrated with these calls. Hence I am registering the Compliant here.


Thanks

      Hello Sir/Ma'am
      My name is javed ahmad. I am using AIRTEL PREPAID MOBILE NO. For last 2 years. Last month i recharged with Rs.25 and Rs. 30. For balance but they changed my call rates also without any prior information even CCA of Airtel blaming me that they have informed me by sms. But i haven't received any sms regarding call rates changes.
      I called many times to customer care they are not entertaining me farely. Even 2day they disconnect my call without my satisfaction.

      Now i am facing many problem due to increase in call rates without any information.
      Now problem is that I can not change my number and airtel is not solving my problem even they are talking with me very rudely.
      So please solve out my problem.
      Thanks

        Address: Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka

        I was under the 499 unlimited broadband plan that used to give me good speed during 25 out of thirty days of my billing cycle. My monthly bill regularly used to be around Rs 550/- Of late, Airtel started mentioning that I have utilised my full capacity of high speed internet within a day of the billing cycle. I realized that they had actually discontinued the 499 unlimited plan and wanted existing customers to voluntarily get out and change to other plans. Such a ploy was an attempt to frustrate consumers to upgrade.
        In mid November 2011, I fell for this and upgraded to 899 unlimited 10GB mega plan (at the Saibeen complex outlet, MG road, Mangalore). I was told the change would be effected only during the next billing cycle i.e. from 26th November, 2011 and could not be done mid-cycle. I accepted. I was surprised when I received an SMS on around 28th Nov, 2011, asking me to pay Rs 2324.31. As usual, when the bills are fudged, Airtel does not send a printed bill!!-Only an SMS. I complained to [protected]@airtel.in (complaint no:8733550) regarding non receipt of printed bill. This was promised by e-mail to be sorted out by 6.30PM on 20th Dec, 2011. I received no bill but at around 7 PM on 20th dec, 2011, I received an SMS from Airtel saying that the complaint has been resolved (with no bill yet sent!!) and asked me to reply whether I am satisfied by a YES/NO reply SMS. The "No" reply failed to reach its destination...
        As regards the error in the billing, my enquiries through the sales representative gave me the information that the Company had inserted a LIMITED 599 plan as an interim between the shift over from 499 unlimited to 899 unlimited. Hence the inflated bill. This was done unilaterally without my instructions. Which consumer in his senses would request for a limited plan between two unlimited plans?? The complaint on the erroneous bill[protected] was to be resolved by 21st Dec, 2011. 6.30PM. This is yet unresolved. There has been no verbal communication from any Airtel representative during this period.
        It is clear that Airtel is indulging in unfair trade practices. I plan to approach the consumer forum in case they do not accept their mistake and continue to send me the earlier inflated bill as pending from my side.

        Airtel often lure new customers with promises high speed, better service etc. But beware of the trap you are getting into. The new Airtel broadband scheme has been designed to suck consumers dry by over billing them. My company took a corporate connection from Airtel, a scheme that offered us new handsets, better connectivity at average price of 11,000. For 8 months there was consistency in our billing, it range from 11 to 14K. And then suddenly we are hit by bill of 30K, an over billing of 100%.
        So we go the regular route try contact the customer service etc but we get no response except one - "There is no Error in the billing". You request for a meeting and get none.

        But to top it all the Airtel executive abuse. Yes you head me right... THEY ABUSE. While speaking to the sales executive who sold us this connection, our office manager was verbally abused by Mr. Gautam Sachdeva - Sr. Sales executive from Delhi. A series of humiliating statements, He even went to the extent of saying that small companies, who cannot afford Airtel should not take these services.

        Over billing customers is something Airtel does all the time! So if you are getting an offer that seems to be too good to be true. Beware!

        Express yourself - Airtel Employee take this very seriously even if they are misbehaving with their customers.

            but I am getting frustrated with your grievances department (they are disconnecting my calls, not replying to my mails, etc), so I thought may be you can help me.

            I have ordered a new connection on 11th Dec (Money paid on the same day through credit card, IVR). However, they have not yet installed a new digital TV. I called you many times but they are disconnected the call after I inform them about my query (called on [protected]). I have spent around Rs.300 in calling them. It was a very humiliating and bad experience with them. I request you to please install it today or return my money ASAP.

            Airtel DTH — Paid but not installed

            Dear Mr.Ajai Puri,

            I paid for DTH service 26/08/10. Since that i am doing repeated follow up with CC and engineers etc. But still no body came to install it. For this i took many hour off from my office since i paid. Because i am calling yours guy, my staff also now came to know and it is giving them negative impression for Airtel.

            I am escalating this after trying all the alternatives. I hope a company like Airtel must have some SLA else how come Airtel be rated as best DTH service provided.

            Dear Sir,
            I am a very old customer of Airtel Digital TV. My Name is Mohit Kumar Sharma and my customer ID ia [protected]. Customer of Airtel Digital TV is uneducated and irresponsible. Last night on 11th June, 2011 i called them to upgrade my channels. Before theat i confirm about all channels including HD channels. Company told me in ultra pack you will get all channels including HD Channels Ten Sports HD, Movies Now HD and Discovery HD. But After one hour i realsied company has cheated me. They disconnect my Punjabi Pack and told me it is not covered in Ultra Pack. They Also tell me to see HD channels you have to take extra Packs to subscribe them. Now company is saing they heave done it by mistaken and not ready to refund my cash and to fullfill their promise to start all the channels.

            I suggest Portability must be started in Satelite Service Providers also.

            Please Justiy My Case.

              Respected Sir/Madam,

              This is in reference to my Mobile No. [protected], I would like to bring to your notice that I had taken a scheme of Rs. 65/- Recharge by which
              charges are - airtel to airtel: 30 paise per min. and airtel to other mobile 50 paise per minute. But from last 4/5 days airtel is cutting 60 paise per minute for airtel to other mobile calling charges without any reason. I have not changed the scheme. If charges are increased then airtel has to inform me before cutting extra charges. But there is no any prior information to me.
              So I request kindly contiune my scheme as per previous rate i.e 50 paise per minute for other mobile calling charges.
              Your co-operation is highly appreciated
              Thanks

                Beware of Airtel Broadband- billing me for 6 months, without providing service

                Dear Sir,

                I have made numerous calls to the Airtel customer care (called more than 30 times, have more than 11 customer complaint numbers) over the last 7 months. But Airtel has not bothered to take any action. Every time the expected resolution date, they just mark the complaint as resolved (even if no action has been taken). Their computer systems are even more pathetic, they keep having upgrades done every 3


                I applied for a new Airtel broadband connection in the first week of June
                2011. The person at the call center advised that he'll be sending his
                personnel to verify if the connection is feasible. After determining that
                it is feasible, one of the person came and collected the initial one month
                rental of Rs 999/- after giving me a filled up application copy. He said
                that on paying the initial one month rent, there will not be any additional
                installation charges. He told that the engineer will come and give the
                connection.

                My application number:
                1173211
                Fixed Land line number:
                [protected]
                Account Number:
                16591889

                One week went by and I didn't hear anything. Whenever I called up Airtel
                Customer care, I was assured that that my case was pending and someone will
                be coming soon to look at it, to install the broadband !! Then suddenly,
                while enquiring about the status of my connection, the person at the call
                center told me that the engineer had come and he had seen that the capacity
                in your area has exceeded and hence he returned without giving any
                connection. This was probably the second point when Airtel decided to
                misuse the money collected from me of Rs 999/-.

                After this day, I have made 30+ calls in 6months, to the customer care, have asked to make escalations (to a Ms. Jasmine), also recently escalated to her boss (Mr. Shiva), spoken to numerous people, been given so many complaint numbers. The last few complaint numbers are-
                1509908 - raised 3rd August - supposed to be resolved by 13th Aug
                2682184 - raised on 21st Aug (supposed to be resolved by 29th Aug) - was escalated to Ms. Jasmine in customer support - but no avail
                5895866 - raised on 18th Oct, supposed to be resolved by 27th Oct
                8135792 - raised on 17th Nov, started receiving calls - saying that Landline is not working on 1st Dec- even though my complaint was about not getting my refund, and instead i m being billed even though connection has never been provided !!
                Also, raised to nodal officer on 17th Nov - complaint reference number - 7416310; but still remains unresolved.
                8209564 - raised on 2nd Dec, supposed to be resolved by 10 Dec - was escalated even to Ms. Jasmine and her supervisor Mr. Shiva- but no resolution. Automatically, on 10 Dec, I got the same frustrating SMS - that your complaint has been resolved.. are you satisfied with the response.


                Each time, I am tired of hearing - "Yes maam, it will surely be resolved
                within 10 days.." "You will definitely be getting a check this time"..
                "Last time, they had not updated the record correctly, this time I have
                updated it, so this time aa soon as possible, you will be receiving your
                refund."..." There were 3 applications showing up in your name in the
                system, I have corrected it, so you will definitely be receiving the refund
                this time, I am Jasmine speaking..and I am at the next level"....

                All these words have totally frustrated... And to add to my frustration -
                for the last 4 months, I have also been getting bills worth Rs 3000/- The
                first month, my bill showed Rs999/- and now I am also getting SMS advising
                me that my bill has not yet been paid.

                Please advise, whether my first step should be to raise a police complaint, or whether i can directly proceed to consumer court ?

                Thanks,
                A

                    My mobile connection number is [protected]. It was in company's name till October 2011 and I got it transferred to my personal name. I had provided all the documents to airtel. They called me at 3.00 PM for address verification when I was at office. I informed them to come after 5.45 PM as I would be at home at that time. Airtel has gone ahead and barred my outgoing calls becos of lack of address verification.

                    I lodged a complaint on help desk (No:[protected] on December 14 and they mentioned that it would be resolved by December 20. They also took the instruction that the concerned person should visit after 5.45 PM. Till now no one has come and my outbound calls continue to be barred. Today the help desk mentions that one of their person came home on December 16 at 2PM. He had no answer when I mentioned the instruction is to visit at 5.45 PM

                    Its very disappointing to keep calling help desk and they keep giving different versions. I hope someone looks into this issue of horrendous service by airtel.

                      Address: Delhi

                      Our Airterl Bill No.[protected] dated 26-Nov-11 shows following charges;

                      1) Monthly charges = 1299.00
                      2) Call and vas charges = 734.69
                      3) dsl usages charges = 1140.00

                      Gross charges = 3173.69
                      Less total discount = -519.69
                      Net charges = 2654.00
                      4) Taxes = 273.00

                      Total current charges = 2927.36

                      My plan is 'Max 30GB' for which the bill should be maximum Rs. 1299.00 + voice call exceeding Rs. 2000.00 + taxes.

                      We have not requested any additional DSL uses. Why this "dsl usage charges" Rs. 1140.00 are being charged in bill.

                        Hi,

                        I would like to bring to your notice as to how quickly is customer data getting leaked from Airtel database / teams.
                        I had picked up an Airtel prepaid SIM card on 17 Dec 11 filling up the Enrollment form from Airtel Office located at Koramangala, Bangalore.
                        The SIM got activated and I received an SMS from Airtel on 19 Dec 1:04:52 PM that the my mobile number has been activated.
                        At 4:38 PM on the same day, I started receiving calls from Telemarketers promoting their products. The caller ids are [protected] & +[protected] (The number of digits in the caller id is12 & 14 digits, not sure why :-( )

                        Please note that within few hours of activation of my newly acquired SIM from Airtel, I have started receiving promotional calls.

                        This shows the speed of data leakage from Airtel !!!

                            Ticket Reference number:
                            9035996

                            It has been more than a week that we raised complaint of both telephone and broadband not working and still noone from airtel has even cared to visit.

                            And the joke from airtel is they simply closed the ticket with NO RESOLUTION and Noone coming to my premise.
                            I would like to know when no technician has visited the place how did the ticket got closed with any XYZ reason?

                            First time they simply mentioned - internal wiring problem ( which is not true). This is standard trick played by Airtel technicians. 3-4 months back, one of them said same thing. When I raised ticket again, another technician from Airtel came and said internal wiring is fine and he mentioned that most of technician say this to avoid doing work.

                            Then on 16th dec friday, I escalated and spoke to floor manger over call. she re-opened the ticket and mentioned there is some problem with DP and committed to solve it by monday 19th dec

                            on 20th dec, when i again called up, i was again told ticket is closed because resolution is done. Irony is that my BB and phone are still not working
                            Noone even cared to come or call up to check whether phone /bb is working or not.

                            I think airtel is doing a joke and not a running business and simply fooling customer.
                            Noone visits from airtel and they simply close the ticket.

                            I am seriously thinking to file complaint in consumer forum because this delay has caused lot of inconvinience to me and airtel kept on telling me lies and they are still charging me for services

                            Mr Sunil Mittal- Can you please focus and improve services for your indian customers and not fool them by closing complaint calls without even providing a resoltion and that too after so called escalations in your company.

                            I WOULD SAY AIRTEL SERVICES IS REALLY BECOMING PATHETIC.

                            AIRTEL- ARE YOU LISTENING??

                              Dear Concern officer,

                              Request your intervention on appended issue.

                              I'm been cheated by Airtel Telemedia. Firstly i'm been sourced the plan which i never opted for later billed on that. I'm chasing the airtel people sinc3e the first day of the sourcing of the corporate plan for Royal Bank of Scotland. I've opted for Rs. 110 Plan however activation was done for Rs. 99 plan.

                              Please refer the appended mail for the conversation with airtel & suggest.

                              Regards,
                              Yogender Kumar

                              Dear Team,

                              I spoke to your one of the executives today "Sam" he Quotes that airtel people
                              tried to contact me on 6th Dec'11 & also informed me that I'd to take approval
                              from RBS coordinator to change the plan.

                              My only question is, Why do you guys need approval for the change in plan,
                              whereas I'd only opted for RBS 110 plan.

                              Request you to please look into this matter & resolve the same as earliest.

                              Also, if required please share the Fax number on which I can FAX the copy of
                              form containing plan details.

                              Moreover, plan which was activated on my number is not the plan sourced to me.

                              Please refer the attached mail for further information.


                              Thanks & Regards,

                              Dear Bhavna/Nodal officer,

                              This is in reference to a unethical sourcing of a Postpaid plan.

                              I'm Yogender Kumar, working with RBS Group, we've recieved a mail from our
                              procurement team which depict new plans launch by Bharti Airtel & Vodafone with
                              comparison between them, i'd opted for Airtel.

                              I called up airtel customer care for new connection & arraged a call back from
                              concerned team.

                              I'd received a call from Mayank ([protected]) said to be a sales head in
                              Gurgaon, he arranged a guy to source new connections & collect documents. We
                              were contacted by a guy name - Manish work for Balaji Traders(Faridabad).

                              I signed up for RBS 110 plan details given as following :
                              CUG - Free
                              A2A - 20p/m
                              Others + landline - 30p/m
                              STD - 50p/m flat on all network
                              Freebies :
                              300 local & STD minutes
                              300 local & STD Msgs

                              All these aforementioned details were mentioned on my enrollment form (copy
                              available with me) & SIGNED up by that guy Manish.

                              Now, when my connection got activated, i was surprised to check that monthly
                              rental paln of Rs.99 regular plan been activated on my number. i called up
                              Airtel care, i've been informed that there's no such plan exist.

                              Later i spoke to that sales head mayank, he said there 're new plan launched
                              for RBS which are yet to be updated on system and said he'd raised a service
                              request for the conversion for which i'll get confirmation sms.

                              Now its more than 3 weeks nothing such has happen, i'm regularly in touch with
                              mayank he kept on telling me that it will be done.

                              I request your intervention on this preceding issue to get it resolve as
                              earliest.

                              If required i can fax you the copy of the form & mail from our procurement team.

                                I hope there is someone reading this mail who can understand a customer's state of mind being having to mail back and forth every second day to have this billed amount corrected for my cell number [protected].

                                I had a very shocking experience with Bharti Airtel recently, regarding their 3G plans on cell phones. I frankly feel like scammed and the whole process totally fraud.

                                Hi Sir/Madam,

                                I was using an Airtel no. since 5 years. Nowadays, the service is becoming worse from Airtel. All the unnecessary activations like Game_Subscription are being done without customer knowledge.

                                I have been trying to port my number from Airtel to Vodafone/Tata Docomo since 3 months, but not able to do so. This is my 3rd attempt to port my number but unsuccessful.

                                Below are the details :

                                Sat, 3, Dec 1901 : Your Unique Porting ID is AX961771 and the expiry date is 18/12/2011.

                                  Airtel is fraud, cheating customers giving wrong information about plans. You guys are cheaters! How long you can fool customers? I was not informed that its 20KBPS unlimited 3G data plan, and after completing my bandwidth its bloody 20KBPS in which even a single pic will not load. Even my mobile with GPRS connection loads at 150 to 200 KB/s . It took me 30 mins to load this page. Don't buy Airtel. They're fraud.

                                  The story goes like this:

                                  Artel representative started annoying me with phone calls regarding offers. I attended the call once and he asked for my address for explaining the offer and he said I don't have to buy.

                                  He came home and explained all false information about the plan and forced me to buy the 3G Dongle and said he came on my request.

                                  1. He explained that its an unlimited plan at 7.1 MBPS.
                                  2. For 675 plan I get 3.15 GB free and another 2000 rupees worth o[censored]sage free at 2 paise per 100KB ( 200 rupeesworrth o[censored]sage is misleading and cheating)
                                  3. He offered me the dongle for Rs.999 which he said is worth Rs.2500 . At last I thought its a good deal and took it.
                                  4. After few days I happen to call Airtel customer care regarding the speed issue and to get a clear idea about the plan.
                                  Here, on the first call
                                  The representative told me that I can use 3.15 GB free usage plus 9.5GB (based on 2 paise per 100kb) and a total of 12GB.
                                  And the call got dropped in between and I happened to call again, this time they told a different story. 2000 rupees usage is including 3.15GB, which means a total of 9.5 GB

                                  This keeps of changing every time I call any representative. At last the call was transferred to Manager. She assured me again that its total usage of 12GB. (ref no of the complaint:[protected]

                                  And in the other time, when I called, an airtel representative started abusing me asking why am I calling them. He started abusing me badly and said an explanation that he was frustrated with lots of customers. HELL why do i have to worry about other customers, I paid money and I need to get some service.

                                  Airtel — Incorrect information and cheating

                                  If anyone has opted for a 500Rs top up pack in you airtel landline be prepared to get surprised. Without mentioning any validity, this has been expired in 3 months. Now we need to have the SMS to prove to them that they have not mentioned anything about validity in their SMS. If anyone has by anychance a copy of such an SMS, please help me in proving them wrong.
