    My name is Rakesh Vij & I am using Airtel Land line no.[protected] at my garment showroom in Dr Mukherjee Nagar which is connected with Credit/Debit card swipe machine. Since 7th Sep'11 above mentioned land line is dead for which first complaint was registered at your customer care no. 44444198 on 8th Sep'11 morning. I was not given any complaint no. but was informed that phone will be operational by evening same day but nothing happened & phone was not repaired.

    After that, on 9th Sep'11 morning, when I inquired about the complaint booked on 8th Sept'11, I was shocked to hear that no complaint has been booked for above mentioned landline on previous day & fresh complaint was lodged. This time I had to request repeatedly & forcefully for getting complain no. 3793652. Since then I am trying almost daily for repair of land line but all the complaints requested on 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 20th, 21st, 23rd & 24th Sept has fallen to deaf ears & my phone line is dead from 7th Sep'11 till date. Above all, I have been charged Rs 10 to 25 for each call I made to Airtel customer care.
    As informed you earlier that this landline is connected to Card Swipe Machine, I am loosing the sale of Rs 25,000 daily since customer in unable to use their Credit/Debit card.

    Inspite of repeated follow-ups at Airtel customer care, their nodel office & appeallate office in Delhi, no action has been taken for repairing of landline & compensation occured towards sale loss of more than 5 lakhs.

      Dear Sir,

      I want to mention that due to false assurance and information by Airtel DTH call center, I faced a lot of hardship initially, which made me lose one work day due to false promise of installation the next day if I book immediately online.

      However, I must say, I received the Airtel DTH product today and was installed as well and working properly, thank God !! However, the persons who came to install were never aware about the next day installation as they had received the order yesterday evening. So false committment created a lot o[censored]nnecessary stress and tension.

      If really any Airtel personnel is reading this, I would request them that they need to ensure that customers are not being unnecessarily taken for a ride by call center at the time of purchase/enquiry. We do appreciate true facts.

      Rest assured, the picture quality and after-service locally was good. And I hope it remains the same all throughout its usage. I thank the support team who called up after numerous complaints and mails and ensured my order was processed duly in their actual stipulated time.

      Rgds,

      Anil

        Hello,

        I am Navin Kumar Bhairi, My cellphone number is[protected]. I raised a complaint against poor signal problem due to which I am loosing my business and work every day from last months time.

        I raised a complaint on this on 15th of this month and they told me that they will resolve it on 26th-October exactly before 11.29 am (this part is really funny). However they didnt resolve this problem and they didnt even communicated this to me.

        After I have escalated this call to a person named (Shravanthi), She told she will resolve it by 48 working days. I called exactly 24 hrs after and They were telling me that they will resolve it after 5 days.

        One important thing I have to mention here is 'I WAS CALLING ALL THIS TIME'. they didn't even communicate with me of all these things.

        Now I will have to see how will they resolve my problem. I loose money due to business related calls. I will have to go all the way out of this street to make a call. Not sure what I will have to do when it is raining.

        Regards

        Hi,

        I had been a genuine costumer to them from last 8 years.my earlier number in maharashtra was [protected].

        It looks like I will have to change my SP.

        We will see how it goes.

        Regards

        Hello Rakesh,

        Thank you for this email. This is what I always worried. Each time I raise a complaint Airtel re initiates from there( That day). I said, I raised a complaint 15th, 26th, 27th and 29th...now you took this last date and you will say from this day the complaint started.

        Today is 1st, I would like to say I suffered from last one and half month with this problem. I am facing it still.
        Nobody called me till now about the update.

        I am not happy with your (Airtel resolution team) who has to at least update me.

        I would like to see till this Monday. Because you wont be happy about what I do and what I write here.
        Because I already had lost so much money just because of this.

        Thanks & Regards
        Navin K[protected]
        Hello Rakesh,

        I would like to tell you that, 'THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED' and I wont call you to your number(121) anymore because I know how it works. I am not happy with the Airtel customer service how ever they really really talk good. Which is useless to me.

        I want to reconfirm you that the problem is not at all resolved. I don't on what basis you confirmed it.

        Regards
        Navin K[protected]You cannot reach me when I am at home because of poor airtel signal and their service)
        Hello Rakesh,

        Did you ever try to help me resolve this issue. This is how Airtel works is it? today is 10th of October...so it does mean its almost a month from the day I complained about it.

        I didn't call to your 121 because I know how it works. In what way will you repay my business.

        This forum wont work as well then. I realized. Nothing works here in India except the corruption.

        Cheers

            I am using airtel's number since august 2007 and prior to that also i was using airtel's number but last month i.e. may 2008, I have noticed some charges on my bill which were totally unauthorized.These charges are for downloading something from the website using wap services on the phone.I called up airtel customer's service several times to remove these charges so they waived off 0nly rs.101 and i am being charged rs.400 in total since december 2007.Even i do not have necessary settings on my phone to access internet then why i am being charged.I am paying these charges since december 2007 without using these services.i want all these charges to removed from my bill or to be adjusted on my next bill.I never expected that airtel will deceive it's customers like this.This is a SCAM.Please look in to this matter.
            I am using AIRTEL for the past 4 years.

            Yesterday, afternoon when I checked the balance, it was > 100, but when I rechecked it at night, it was only 3.25ps.
            I called Customer Care Executive, they were trying to prove that I have visited some paid sites. But I haven't done so. I am sure that I haven't opened any such sites. GPRS is enabled in my phone. I have checked my Yahoo mail, nothing more.

            Is this the service AIRTEL is providing, I called the cutomer care Team Leader, his name is MARTIN, He was trying to prove that I am lying.

            To check whether I have done any mistake, I have checked the browser history, It shows only Yahoo mail.

            I don't know, is it the problem of Software, or AIRTEL itself, is trying to fool the customers.

            Is this the way AIRTL is making money. But if I didn't get money back, this will not be the way I will be taking action against you. I want to know whether there is LAW in this country.

            All other service providers are atleast ready to solve it, but here u all r putting the fault over the customer.

            This is not the first problem I am facing from AIRTEL.

            Are you trying to cheat the customers. Or you don't want any more customers in AIRTEL.

            You have introduced new facility of Bill Payment. Did u introduce that so that u can cheat more money from customers. How can we believe and pay our bills.

            If this mail is being read by any customers. I humbly request to cut there AIRTEL connection and pass this message to all over ur friends.

            DON"T USE AIRTEL.

            Dear service provider,
            I an a subscriber using airtel no.[protected] in Gwalior. I was using the net on phone service and went to a page where for any download charges had to be paid but i clicked the back button and went to some other page.

Please look into it and get my money refunded

            Airtel — Billing - Unauthorized charges

            I had availed missed call services a few months ago. I was getting such alerts in the beginning but after a while it stopped. I sms to discontinue this service so i am not charged for the services i am not getting. however, i was kept charging. This month, i again sent sms to discontinue this service and got the sms that it will be discontinued. However, i got an sms a few days back that the service is renewed for this month and i will be charged for this service. I donot understand what is happening. The amount is small (Rs 15 per month) so i never bothered but now i feel cheated as despite of sending sms i am being charged for a service that i have not been getting.

In the evening of 5th march 2009 at about 7-00 PM i recharged my said connection with full value coupan worth Rs. 333/- . that day i subscribed for daily subscription of internet and sent the message at 52505. then i started using the internet. that day i used internet for 2 hours approximately. but to my surprise, in the morning of 6-3-09 i noticed that all of my balance had vansihed. after that i have been contineously compalining at the coustmor care of airtel but to no effect. all the time they say that they had taken a note of my problem and i would be responded within 24 hours. but it is much regretted to point out that i am yet to receive any response from your company. SO SAD

            my no is [protected],, airtel has deducted 99 rs for some downloading, which actually i didin't done, i can't able to reach customer care also.., its too bad
            Hi, this is with regard to unauthorized deduction from my account. When asked about the same to customer care, they say I am using SMS service and so it has been charged accoridingly which I am not doing. From Rs. 125 the balance has come to Rs. 55 in one week where the mobile is used for incoming calls and emergency calls.

            Why this is happening without our consent.
            Please reimburse my balance back for the same.

            Airtel Mobile — unauthorized charges

            sir, i have Airtel mobile prepaid.no is [protected].Often i find Rs5 is deducted for love service etc.which i never opted for and iam not of that age .My objection to the airtel by way of reply to the same number yeilded no result.Such unauthorised charges irks. The service provider it seems have no responsibility to answer and solve the problem.It is unfair on the part of such big organisation to evade answerand resort to such cheap means to collect charges.Secondly,I paid Rs250 in 2008 for life time validity and the validity period was given Jan2021,but recently the validity period shows as Jan2011,why this change.Whom they are trying to fool?I shall be glad and will appreciate an answer from the authorities.

            AirTel — unauthorized charges

            many times unwanted services are activated automatically and charges thereof are deducted even if i have not subscribed to such services. this may be happening with thousands of customers of airtel prepaid . this should be stopped by the company.

            AirTel — Unauthorized activation of charged services

            Dear Sir,

            My father hold a Airtel Pre-paid connection ([protected]). This is the third time in past few months that airtel has activated charged Value added services on the number. If you call and complaint them then they give you fake information that the service was activated from your side on this date by dialling this no. They do close the service but do not revert back the money.
            This time they have activated some 'Ayurvedic Tips' services. I got to know about it only after receiving the re-subscription msg from them at 3:30 in the night. The last time I had clearly indicated to them that no services be activated on this no. My father is an old man and is not aware of any messages coming on his phone.
            Its cheap trick on Airtel's part to extract money from people who are not so learned about technology. Repeated warnings by customers also doesn't refrain Airtel from stopping their alleged behaviour but they try and put blame on us.

            Thanks,
            Amit

            Airtel is deducting Rs. 30/- since last 2 months for its Airtel Radio Service which I never activated. My mobile no. is [protected]. I am trying to contact the customer care but I was never able to reach them. This is really frustrating. Please help.
            Hi,

            I had recieved messages stating my banalnce has been dedeucted for hello tunes. Earlier also, my balance was deducted due to some service activation.
            I did not subscribe to the above services, and despite the same, the customer representatives mentioned that it has been activated becuase i had called them up to activate these.

            This has been happening very frequently and i do not know what i should do. I tried calling the customer care multiple time, but they do not refund the charges.

            Kindly assist.

            Dear Sirs/Madam,
            This is regarding Internet bill raised, without taking my consent or request for any kind of related services, which had been complained 4 times with 4 different complaint numbers (Req. No.41992031, Dt.10.02.2012 / Req.no.[protected], Dt.27.02.2012 / Req.no.42564265, Dt.12.03.2012, req.no.42657106, Dt.17.03.2012), but till date the concern is laying unresolved from AIRTEL and the employees are always asking me for payment and telling, if not paid soon then the mobile services will be discontinued . Let me know what to do now. Internet bill is approx Rs6000.00 for 2 months unwantedly and forcefully raised to me, which never been requested from my end to provide in my cell phone.
            Waiting for a quick resolution,

            Yours truely

            Dear Sir,

            Airtel has activated radio services on my mobile and deducted Rs 30/- even though I never subscribed for it. Can you please re-imburse the amount and stop this service. There have been countless occasions where I was a victim of Airtel wherein I was auto-subscribed to its services. I hope my request will be promptly actioned through this forum.

            My mobile number is [protected].
            Dear Sir,

            Airtel has again deducted Rs 30/- for Airtel Radio. Please reimburse this amount as I never subscribed for Airtel Radio .. I am really concerned as this is happening every month and I am out of patience complaining against this harassment. My mobile number is [protected] .

            As a first step please reimburse the deducted amount and please unsubscribe me permanently from Airtel Radio so that I dont face further deductions.

            Sir

            Extra charges of Rs 799 had been added in my latest monthly bill. When I had contacted the customer care and told them about the issue,instead of solving my problem they told me that that I had asked them for this additional scheme.I am the single user of this PC and i know that i hadn't opted for any extra GBsof data. On 30/07/2012 one sms came to me in which they said "THANK YOU FOR CALLING US. THE REFERENCE NO FOR YOUR AIRTEL FIXEDLINE [protected]_DSL IS 19506134,REGISTERED ON 30/07/2012 22:01."

            I had not called for any service and they are texting me Thank you for calling us. I even dont have any landline telephone. Things become intolerable when one has to pay double the money for no reason.
            It is my kind request that I want waiver from these extra unauthorized charges on my bill. I dont find it appropriate to pay for something which i had never asked for and which i had not even used. I want a quick action on my complaint.

            Thank you

            i got this message. But i am not choosing any EASY SEARCH. this simply a forgery. i want to back my money, and stop this service. and also i need a reasonble reply.
            Dear Concern

            i am having a prepaid connection from airtel and [protected] and same recharged on 28th may 2015 for 3G data plan amount RS 255. Today when i checked the same data balance nil and i am not used any major downloading or uploading. Also speed is also poor than 2G.

            same was happed earlier also but this time i need to mark a complain.
            I work in a MNC. I went to airtel retail store located at Kharadi in front of radission blu to purchase a corporate sim. I knew that the corporate sim is free of cost. I asked regarding the plan and after that the sales person told me that the charge for the CORPORATE SIM is 250/-. I felt some foul play as my friends have also told me that this store overcharges customers.

            I went to another airtel store located at Viman nagar. There I got the sim free of cost as corporate sim&#039;s are usually free.

            so you can see how cheat people can be.

            I hope my complaint will have some impact and strict action would be taken against Kharadi Store.

            Regards

                  Hello Sir/Madam,


                  This is to inform you all that currently using Airtel Prepaid SIM from last 7 years & it worked fine. Froam last month 27th Aug' 2011 daily 5 rs. deducting from my mobile & when I called up customer no. 121 they said 1 full track service is activated, but I asked them how it got activated they said it's activated by me.

                  I am worried nothing I did in my mobile & how it got activated.

                  Then I asked them to disable that service, they said now onwards it's disabled.

                  But after that also daily Rs. 5 is deducting from my account.

                  From last 25th Aug' 2011 to till date Daily i receive 1 sms saying that "You have been renewed for full track subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs. 5"


                  Now a days before I recharge I have to think n no. of times whether recharge or not.


                  Really need to take strict action against Airtel.

                  I got daily sms for proof.


                  Any help from consumer forums really appreciated


                  Thanks & Regards

                      Hi Airtel Team,

                      I am using a Airtel Prepaid connection for past 5 years. The number is [protected].

                      Suddenly my SIM become inactive from 28th september 2011, without any prior communication.

                      When I checked up with your customer care, i got the reply as i need to provide some evidence for photo and address proof to enable back my connection.When i asked about the lack of prior information, the call is disconnected from customer care.

                      I have given this number for all records and hence activate this number.

                      I regret to say that the response and actions from Airtel in this regard is not satisfactory and inefficient.

                      Regards

                      Hi Rakesh,

                      My number got activated today after submitting my document proofs.

                      But there is a deduction of approx .15rs from my account without any valid reason.

                      After calling customer care i understood that it has been deducted for some Airtel live which i never availed for.

                      That too it is deduced for those inactivated days also.

                      I am charged even for calling customer care.

                      I am very sorry to say that there is complete lack of transparency between Airtel and the customers, by which, it is clear that Airtel is making fool of there customers.

                      I don't know how to escalate this now, so seeking your help.

                      Regards

                        This email is regarding the issue pertaining to incorrect bills received for the past two months, and delayed response from customer care for the clarifications raised!

                        The bill amount received for the period July-Aug is 2020.64 and the one for Aug-Sep is 1749.92

                        As per the 999 plan that we have taken, the bill cap is 300 since the call charges for the past two months fell between 300 & 2000. Having said that, the total amount including rent and call charges should only be around 1300 and nothing more than that!

                        We have been trying to get the bill corrected since the time we received the same and the amount is being waived little by little after each debate that we have with the customer care personal. We get charged for each customer care call also which goes for at least 20minutes.

                        Now, Aug-Sep month’s bill has been corrected to Rs 1227 (reduction of more than 500) and the same has been paid today. We would not be paying the previous month’s (Jul-Aug) bill amount until it is corrected and sent back to us. The explanation that we get from customer care regarding the July-Aug bill is that it was charged on pro-rata basis but that cannot be the case since we changed the bill plan well before the start of the bill cycle. The rent charged has to be 999 plus the appropriate call charges. Instead, they have charged based on 1099 plan for half month and 999 plan for remaining half because of which the bill is at least 500rs more than what it should be. How can they migrate the plan in mid month when one customer care representative told that they can’t change the plan mid month? The mistake is from your side because you forgot to migrate the plan during start of billing cycle. So, why should I pay 500rs extra for your mistake?

                        In addition to the above problems, the broadband and landline connections have been disconnected today. We request you to reactivate the same. Please understand that this is not a mistake from our side. It is purely a delay from Airtel’s end in sending the corrected bill!

                        Kindly respond to this email!

                          AirTel — Product Not installed

                          Dear All,
                          I wanted to install Airtel DTH at my home. For that, I contacted to Vriti Infocom and Vriti's Executive Mr. Sharad Dixit suggested me to do online payment of amt 1650 and he told me that same day my DTH ll be installed.
                          I paid this amount throgh my credit card and done the online payment on 4th March 2010.
                          After doing the payment, I was contacting with Mr. Shard Dixit to install it at my home but I was not getting any response.
                          Till 10th March no body was able to give me the response, even I gave a request for installation in customer care also.
                          So it was my 1st bad exp with Airtel that How airtel ppl commit and how they respnse?

                          After that on 12th March, Airtel Eng. Mr. Sanjay Rana come to my home to install DTH.
                          They checked my TV and found that there was no audio/video system in my TV. Then Mr. Sanjay Rana told me that he ll install it but by using RFB cable, but 200 rs will be charged.
                          I asked to give a reciept for 200 Rs the Sanjay Rana told me that its not the company product but then keep in their pocket and its personal.
                          After this I denied to do any installation at my Home and then I found that How Airtel Engrs sale non Airtel product after wearing the airtel dresses. It was my 2nd bad exp that How airtel executives can demand extra money for installation AND can sell non airtel products?
                          After that I decided for cancelled my order.
                          I called to customer care and registered a complaint about all these ppls and give a request for cancelling my order and also for refund my money.
                          compaint numers are 215831,2163692.
                          On every complaint, It was told to me that with in 4 working days my money will be refund.
                          But Till now there is nither installation of DTH nor I have got my money back.
                          One month have completed and so many complaints I have done and every time I get reply mail from them that with in 4-5 working days, They will provide the resolution.

                          If you have any query please call me @ [protected]

                            I was planning to change my number for a while now and was not sure of the MNP procedure, and when I finally found out what I had to do, I sent a porting request. The next day I get a call from Airtel saying that I have an offer for 180 days with 1p/2sec Airtel to Airtel 2p/3sec A-others and 100 sms daily free. All I had to do was to send an SMS sayin CNCL to 222 within 24 hrs. My sim validity was until jan 27th and the Airtel representative told me to do a sim validity recharge and then send this sms. When I called up customer care they asked me to recharge for rs. 94 and I would get 1 year validity. I tried doing that and it wasn't going through. I give a call again and they respond by saying that there are no validity recharges anymore!! I give a call the next day. And someone asks me to recharge for 54 and send the sms. And i do so(all this within a span of 24 hrs). And i do not get the benefit even after 72 hrs(which is how long they said would take). So i give them a call( and meanwhile I had recharged for rs. 18 for 300 local sms), and tell them the issue which they said would be resolved within 4 days. And my call rates became 1p/2sec for 2 days. They give me a call to check if everything was fine and not knowing the sms benefit(since i recharged for rs. 18 and still had sms ' left) told them, "yes".- the biggest mistake apart from believing that Airtel was professional and gave good service. I start getting charged re 1 for each message and when I tried calling Airtel again, they put me on hold for a long time and heard out my problem and said they would transfer me to a supervisor. The line got cut after holding for over 5 min and if i try calling again, It does not go through. it says that I have to dial *121*2# fro balance and validity, etc. And the call gets cut instantly. This has been happening over 25 times at least. So to avoid losing any more money, I recharge for 18 again and check my special balance it says 0 left. and I am still being charged for smses and I have lost rs. 18 in the process. This AWFUL experience with Airtel has made my mind so lucid about the fact that I should never trust airtel and will keep away from them here on. I am facing terrible problems with my broadband connection as well, and am going to change that as well. I have advised many people to go for Airtel for their excellent support, service and professionalism; I will STRONGLY recommend anyone to stay away from airtel and their patheic services and day light robbery from now on. I don't even think there is any point in writing to Airtel as the replies they give a clear indication that they do not really need to keep their customers happy and give no regard to their grievances.

                              Dear Sir,

                              I received a call from[protected] informing me that in a lucky draw by AIRTEL I have been selected for a prize of Rs.10 lakhs. The caller asked me to check my sim number and inform them. Thereafter they would give me the prize cheque details of SBI bank.

                              Please let me know if it is a information call from Airtel or is a fake call.

                              If it is a fake call please take appropriate action and let me know the outcome.

                              Thanks

                                Worst service from Airtel.My Airtel Number is [protected]. I have received a call from airtel that I have not paid the 3-months bill which is of 6800 . I told them I am travelling and once I reach Hyderabad I will give them the receipt for which I have paid. That idiotic lady has told fine and now all my family, friends, colleagues have received the call stating that I have not paid the bill and my number is not active(my num is active) and “I have given their number as my reference and she will black list the respective numbers (of my friends, family and colleagues) Legal action will be taken againt them” . I have called that lady to know whats going on and she was very rude to me and was scolding me in a very odd language. I am the customer of Airtel from 3-4years and now I am treating in this way. Can you people let me know whats happening and want the clear explanation and all the people has to get an apology call from that Idiotic lady who has called.
                                Ask that lady to stop calling which has to be done on priority basis.
                                I will take this issue very seriously and once I reach Hyderabad you will receive a legal notice from my end.
                                Everyone is receiving the call from [protected].

                                No Regards

                                  It is brought to everyone's notice that airtel is not responding to customer requests as is evident from the following case of mine.

                                  1. I requested by submitting a written application at Sector 12 , Faridabad Airtel office for closure of my account no.1626226 vide SR 2821362 on 24.8.2011.

                                  2. Account not closed and a full bill for a period of 11 Aug 11 to 10 Sep 11 was sent.

                                  3. I repeatedly telephoned for closure of my account as requested but in vain. Only they provided a customer interaction number of that particular date.

                                  4. Today on 28.9.11 again, I submitted my request at Sector 12 , Faridabad Airtel office for closure of my account no.1626226 mentioning the above facts, vide SR 4803704.

                                  There are similar problems experienced by some of my friends/relative whether broadband service or mobile service or billing.

                                  Recently they have started giving bill amount with paise without rounding off 50 paise or more to the next rupee and less than 50 paise to the lower rupee. Strange, while it is clearly mentioned by them at page 2 of bill under Consumer Information:
                                  If the fractional amount in your total bill is more or less than 50 paise it will be rounded off to the nearest rupee.

                                  About 2-3 months back it was not so...Anybody taking action for their fraudulent procedures/inactions/billing and consumer harassment.

                                  I had 3 connections from Airtel registered under a Corporate Name. Due to the company getting dissolved, I placed a request for closure of services in December 2012 as I had opted for 2 new numbers, again from Airtel. The new numbers got installed immediately and I called the Customer Care of Airtel requesting them to close the earlier 3 connections and asked them to collect whatever amount was due on those numbers. They informed me that the retention team would call me for this and I informed the retention team too that due to the company getting dissolved, I want the 3 numbers to be deactivated. The representative informed me about the outstanding on all the 3 numbers and asked me to pay it to their collection agent. I made payments against all the 3 numbers ensuring that I paid 1 rupee extra on each bill so that there is no disparity in future. I was informed that the closure letter would be sent to me, subsequently. No closure letter arrived.

                                  In January, 2013, I got a call from their collection department informing me that an amount of Rs. 341/- each was pending on 2 numbers. I informed the person that I had already paid whatever was due and had requested them to disconnect the services. The agent requested me to pay this due amount and he would adjust it against my new numbers, which I did.

                                  Now, since April, 2013, I have been receiving calls from Airtel&#039;s collection department asking me to pay dues against those 3 numbers and each caller gives me a different amount and they are not only rude but abusive, too. None of them is ready to understand the problem and all they have to say is that since you do not have a closure letter from our side, you will have to pay-up. An executive also visited my office and checked the receipts of the payments I had made in December, 2012 and informed me that they are fine. But the calls have not stopped. The frequency has increased, so has the rudeness of the callers.

                                  I do not want to put my numbers on a public forum, but if required I have all the receipts to show.

                                      i ve already lost more than 250 bucks just for nothing, all credit goes to airtel VOV service.
                                      now i m planning to follow mr. kaushal and will go for MNP.
                                      but if this continues with other customers also, i guess mr. mittal will definitely loose some market share.
                                      please deactivate vov service from my airtel number, my number is [protected]
                                      facing the same issue..deactivate vov service from my airtel as well..[protected]. Don't know how this got activated?

                                        Well on my successful port in to airtel from my earlier mobile service provider I had thought that airtel would give better services but without any reason I am unble to contact the customer care even though I can make calls & receive them .
                                        I had to change my plan from all calls @60p.min to loc calls @ 35p/min , so I checked in their website which had mentioned that recharge of 37 would give the benefits for 60 days but my retailer tells me off that it would be for 30 days.

                                        I appeal to airtel to please enable my customer care calling facility and notify me the correct validity period for the recharge made for 37.

                                        Dear Rakesh,

                                        Please do something about it immediately as the problem still persists and if you just confirm me the actual validity of 37 recharge in Kol that could be fine too.


                                        Regards,

                                        Neelkantho Bose
