Dear Sir/Madam,

With reference to the above telephone landline we had sent mails to Airtel since 12th July, 2011 for change in plan or if not disconnection of the present conncection. But we did not get any response. We have continously mailed them since
then and also called the customer care office but unfortunately we have not received any response. We had clearly informed Airtel that we are in the process of down sizing and will not require the present service whose charges were
on high side and we had minimum usage.

Infact to save overheads we have shifted from the earlier premises to the below mentioned premise. We had clearly indicated to Airtel that if they will not give us a solution they better stop the service as it would be better for us to continue with other service providers. But till date we have not got any response. Whenever we have been sending mails we are just getting response that someone will contact us and solve the problem.

Even though we have asked them to disconnect the landline they have kept the service working which we feel that Airtel is doing on purpose.

We request if someone could please look into the matter as Airtel is a big company and they will try to force things on us.
If required we will forward you the mails sent. We are now no longer interested in continuing with Airtel and want to solve the matter once and for all but provided somebody contacts us.

Hi
sir/madam

Airtel is such a big telecommuncation brand in india & has a maximum number of subscriber all over india,but thet are not taking an action over the one rupee extra on the charge of coupon.Customer is already paying so much of the tax on the coupon & beside that one rupee extra is being taken from the customer without any reason.This is going on openly in most part of the city --hyderabad.I have informed this many times to the nodal officer but no action is being taken from their side to stop this.please take an action against them

Respected Sir/Madam:

I, Ranjit Chandrasekharan, was using Airtel Broadband Connection (Landline No:[protected] for quite some time now. A few months back, I requested for cancellation and after a lot of effort I got the customer care executive to take down my request and process the cancellation request. Whereupon I cleared all the dues and was awaiting for the executive to come and collect the equipment from home. However, nobody came and I till now haven't got a confirmation letter from Airtel. Instead, I got an sms in my register mobile no: [protected] stating that I need to pay Rs. 178.00 towards bill for last month. I would like to lodge a formal complaint towards lack of confirmation for Airtel regarding my cancellation and I am afraid I will have to suffer the same fate as one of my friends who got a shocking legal notice threat after six or seven months of requesting for cancellation. I don't want to end up in the same pit as him and for the same reason, I would request you to guide me in getting my confirmation.

Thanks,
Ranjit

Respected Sir,

I, Ranjit Chandrasekharan, was using Airtel Broadband connection for a long time. Recently a few months, I send in a request to get it disconnected and it was promptly acknowledged whereupon I paid the outstanding amount too. After a month, I get a message in my mobile no: [protected] stating I have to pay Rs. 178. Till now, I have not got any confirmation regarding cancellation and even after repeated requests for the executive to come and collect the equipment, it has fallen upon deaf ears. I would like to make a formal complaint regarding the same and would like to request Airtel Broadband authorities to do the needful by confirming my cancellation. I have had a friend who had to settle the dues because he made the mistake of not getting the confirmation for his cancellation even though he had requested the cancellation almost five to six months back.

My Airtel Landline no: for the above-mentioned broadband connection is[protected].

Here are my contact details:

Hi All,

I have purchased new Airtel Postpaid connection [protected] on 27th Oct, Till date connection is not activated. Every time when i am making confirmation from shop owner, I am getting the only response that, verification executive will come first then only this number will activate. Till date no one has came.

After 15 days i came to know that my verification is negative, but no one has came to my house for verification. I am confident about that because i am staying with my parents and they never go outside. And this is my owned house. I have submitted electricity bil;l & driving license as my proof.

Please check details of connection mentioned below:

Dear Sir,
Re: Airtel cell phone number:[protected] in the name of Goldina Ghosh.

I took one airtel connection and got the Sim having the number[protected] nearly a month back from your Deoghar (Jasidih) outlet. I submitted all the requisite documents and there was no problem with the service. After 3 weeks Airtel withdrew its service without intimating us anything and the sim blocked without showing any reason.
It becomes very much difficult for me to make communication within the campus (for our research / project work) of this institution- Birla Institute of Technology, Deoghar, Jasidih.
I shall be highly obliged if you kindly see the matter and lift the blockage from the sim so that connection is resumed early.
In this connection I am to tell you the following facts that I have a Calcutta based airtel connection since 2005 – the number is[protected].
As I have to remain at Birla Inst. Of Technology, Deoghar, Jasidih. Jharkhand for the next 2 years for my PhD work and local communication is very much needed for the purpose so I took the local Airtel connection having the number:[protected] to minimize the expense of Roaming on my Calcutta Airtel number[protected]. As I am already your previous customer there should not be any problem of getting my identity.

My West Bengal Address My Temporary Address at Birla Institute of Technology
Permanent Address181 / 33 G.T Road. BIT Campus, Deoghar, Jasidih. Jharkhand

Hope you will realize the matter and help for resumption of service of the number[protected]
At an early date
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully]

Dear Sir/Maa'm,

This is to inform you that the calls were debarred to/from my AIRTEL prepaid no. suddenly without prior intimation. On calling up 121, I found out that they required documents to be submitted for verification. However let me inform you that last year an airtel employee had come to my residence and had collected the photo copies of the documents for verification. So it is a management error on the part of AIRTEL because it seems those documents were either not submitted or were misplaced by them.

Also this happened at a time when I needed my cell the most. I was in the middle of a family crisis, as my dad was admitted to the ICCU. I could not manage to get my documents as I was away from home. So thanks to AIRTEL I was disconnected for 2 whole weeks during this phase.

To top it all, the airtel employee I spoke with to ask if anything could be done to help me through this crisis, he banged the phone down saying "do whatever you want to, we can do nothing to help you."

I am Using AIRTEL for 6 months..I have put booster for SMS and still they charged me..!! I complained regarding this.they said they will Reimburse but they did not do anything. !! other than making my message free..! I did not mind about 30 rupees....!! because of work load

and next I use top up(rate cutter) 10 paise to airtel to airtel and 50 paise to airtel to other services

and they cost me 60 paise instead of 50 paise...they are doing this without any intimation ...to customers as well us to the shops(recharge shops)

I am not fighting for my 10 paise...they are stealing like this to everyone and People for busy to be bothered about this .,,,.

this is total daylight robbery...
Please do something regarding this....
I hope I get some answers soon..!!!

Dear Sir,
As even though all the needed information is submitted to the office. again again they were asking for some other details for the continuation of the number. then of sudden deactivated my mobile sim numbered [protected]
So, Please let my number be activated as soon as possible bcoz i have given this number for my bank transaction and Pancard as wel
Thanking you

Respected sir/ Madam,

Please provide me the call details of the last 3 months and the address of the above given 2 telephone numbers - in case you need any FIR no i have it with me - i have lodged the FIR for the same at Mukundwadi Police Station. Kindly do the needful....

I would like to lodge a complaint against the company Airtel for Harassment and repeated bill generation after being asked to sever the connection ( Land line : [protected] / Broadband) . The Situation as is:

I had asked the airtel customer care people to get my connection shifted to my new address around July 15th. After 2 weeks of not getting any response from them , i called back and was told that the connection cannot be shifted as the new area did not have distribution lines. I asked the customer care representative at that time to please cut the connection and refund the RS 1500/- Deposit taken in the beginning. After that i kept getting calls for bills being pending. I have called the customer care repeatedly and asked them to please cut the connection. Today is the 22nd of november and they still have not done the needful. Instead they are generating bill after bill when their equipment is lying dismantled at my house.

I have contacted and complained the concerned guys infinite times. Each time I get to hear that it will be done today but unfortunately its not done as yet. I do not understand why my connection has not been cut as yet. I am sure that my paltry Rs 1500/- a month cannot be so important that they are trying these tactics. It is not as if they will bankrupt if they cancel my connection

I would really like this to be resolved as quickly as possible. In case this does not work. Please suggest the next of action.

Regards
Ritu Sharma

SIR I HAVE RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON MY MOB NO . [protected] (PRE-PAID) FROM AIRTEL AD-54321 ON 21 NOV 11 AT 18:43 STATING THAT U HAVE CHARGED RS.30 FOR USING GET 4 MOVIE FOR 30 DAYS WITH OUT MY KNOWLEDGE AND REQUEST FOR THE SAME.

WHILE CHECKING MY OFFER SERVICE IN AIRTEL I FOUND IF RCHGE WITH RS.91 U WILL GET RS.91 TALK TIME AFTER 48 HOURS AND 91 LOCAL AIRTEL MINUTES IMMDETIALY. AFTER RCHGE I GOT ONLY RS.91 TALKTIME FOR NIGTH AIRTEL MINUTE ONLY WHICH IS AGAINST THE OFFER IN WHICH I HAD LOST MY MONEY. ON ENQUIRY FROM CUSTOMER CARE NO STATISFACTORY REPLY HAS BEEN GIVEN BY THEM

ON CALLING 111 THERE HAS BEEN A OFFER ON RCHGE 34 U WILL BE GETTING 150 LOCAL AIRTEL MINUTES IN WHICH I RECEIVE ONLY 130 LOCAL AIRTEL MINUTES ONLY.


AN EARLY ACTION IS EXPECTED AGAINST THESE TYPE OF WRONG MESSAGES AND DEDUCTION OF MONEY WITHOUT INDIVIDUAL KNOWLEDGE

Dear Sir,

I would like correct an error by me in my previous complaint........My number was incorrectly entered the correct number is entered at.....

1. My name is Nishant Pawar from Rowriah Jorhat Assam.

2. I have purchased a 3G Airtel prepaid Sim my number is [protected].

3. I have made an initial recharge of rs.450 which will give me a data limit initially of 1.2 GB and I was told by the vendor that after 48 hours an additional 3.8 GB data will be added making it a total of 5 gb of data usage for my first recharge.

4. I have also made an initial recharge of Rs. 111 for the purpose of 111 min of talk time.

5. I am facing the undermentioned problems with Airtel service.


(a) I have not been given an additional 3.8 GB of data for the initial recharge of Rs 450. It has been One week now.

(b) I initially used the sim in my 3G Micromax dongle and was able to browse the internet with 3g speeds. However, on the second day when I entered the sim in my Nokia X2-01 Mobile phone which is a 2G handset. Automatically approximately 50 Rupees got deducted from my voice account and 2G GPRS plan was activated automatically without my consent.

(c) Subsequently on entering the sim card in My 3G Micromax dongle, I am unable to browse with 3G speeds. I get a miserable 12 Kbps download speed even though the system shows HSPA/UMTS 3G signal available.

(d) I have called up on your help line 121, 198, 12134, 12118. No one is ready to help me and they keep telling me to contact the other number. The customer care executives are extremely rude. They have no knowledge about the system involved and cut the call even as the customer is speaking to them with a snide remark 'Airtel mein call karne ke liye dhanyawad'.

(e) I did manage to get a request reference number C3GDC[protected] for low internet speed two days back but the problem was not solved.

(f) Because lack of any advise from your customer care. I reached a conclusion that possibly my number has got a 2G GPRS plan enabled hence there is a reduction of speed. Hence, I opted of cancellation of my 2G GPRS on 12118 IVR and got a request reference number CMOUD[protected].

6. Sir I have been made to run from pillar to post for getting 3G speeds on my 3G prepaid connection. However there has still been no assistance from your end. Because of this delay I have also lost a substantial amount of money as I use the internet for Trading purposes.

7. It is requested that

(a) My 3G connection speed be restored at the earliest so that i can use it in my 3G dongle.

(b) The additional data of 3.8 GB data due to me be alloted at the earliest.

(c) The amount of approximately 50 Rupees which was wrongfully deducted by you for activation 2G GPRS on my number without my consent be refunded as soon as possible.

8. I have already been harassed by your customer care executives.
(Note: There is no Signal problem or dongle problem as my neighbour's 3G Airtel sim card is working fine in my dongle and giving 3G speeds).

9. Awaiting a favourable response.

Regards,

Nishant Pawar

I had requested for activating DND sevices on our airtel number [protected], by sending sms "START DND" to 1909 on 20th Apr 2010. And immediately I had got an sms from Airtel customer care (121) as follows "Your reference number for Registering on NDNC is S[protected]. All promotional communication to your Airtel mobile should stop within 45 days from now". This message is still there preserved in my inbox. It's now over one and half year now, whereas it should have been activated after one and half month itself.

It is now over one and half year now, but still I am continuously receiving unwanted commercial calls and sms, which is really very unpleasant when I am in an important meeting, roaming or may be at some personal work. Even at mid nights I have been receiving such calls and sms.

If have also complained the same so many times to Airtel customer care but of no use. I have written mails as well to NDNC authorities, but again of no use. Finally I had to be here and lets see, if anything works out or not.

I have checked this number on the NDNC website and still this number [protected] is not registered with them.

Need to why such lapses, in such a technically advanced country???

Dear Friends,

Being a Pre Paid Customer of Airtel from 11 years, i am facing the problems of disconnection and that to without information. 2 months back had received sms saying please submit the documents once again for verification purpose, they disconnected my outing and that time had submit the documents saying ok there might be some process. Now, again they have disconnected my outing without information and the 121 people say they had called me and nodal officer of airtel says as per TRAI it will take time of 3 working days. kindly tell me is there is a solution for this.
I am thinking being a customer of airtel from 11 years, i am facing this problem then how about a new customer.

Please stop this nonsense and update the systems with online services.
