I, Nihmathulla Arakkal have been an Airtel mobile customer with mobile No: [protected] since 2004. I have been using the same connection in international roaming since 17.05.2007. I am currently working in Dubai Maritime City,UAE. And I use this number for my business dealings, mobile banking and other personal things.

Since yesterday(6th Oct 2011) morning my mobile is displaying 'SIM CARD REGISTRATION FAILED' . My connection was cancelled suddenly without any previous notice from Airtel eventhough I am an international roaming customer.

When I contacted the customer care yesterday through my brother in Kerala, they informed me that my connection is already recycled it is not even available as a duplicate sim and it will be be made available for a new customer. But I want to know how my sim card got recycled within 1 day, even though I am a loayal Airtel customer since 2004.

I would like to make a complaint against Bharati Airtel regarding the above matter. My mobile banking and many of my business transactions are dependant on this Mobile number. I would like to get my sim card back as soon as possible even if it is a duplicate simcard.


Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I am Amit Shinde and my complaint is with regards to Airtel bill not received at my end.

From past 3 months I am not receiving my Airtel bill due to which I am unable to pay my bill on time. When I called the customer care to ask the reason why my bill not been delivered they are giving me the answer that I had sent the courier person back stating I dont want the bill.

Mine very simple question to them is if I had denied to take the bill then am I mad or fool to pay the bill by taking the bill amount from customer care person.

Bill is denied when a person dont want to pay the bill whereas I am a regular customer from past 7 years and paying my bill ontime but i can understand why from past 3 months i am facing this problem that i am not receiving bill ontime and getting a stupid answer that courier person states that i denied from taking the bill.

I just want the Airtel customer person to look into the matter careful and sort it out, that why courier guy is telling such a lie. Today also not a single courier guy came to my house for airtel bill but still i am getting an answer that I have denied from accepting i dont understand on which stupid address this courier guy is going and why the problem has just started from past 3 months.

As the address is still the same and I havent changed or shifted from my recent residence. This is really disgusting and disappointing on my part to see after being customer for so many years I am getting such bad service. Do Airtel now wants me to shift to some other service and so they have started giving me this bad service.

dear airtel,
i have been using airtel mobile connection # [protected] since 12 yrs....till now i did not face any problems with airtel...but last week i.e on 29-9-11..i just logged in to airtel live from my mobile, but did not download any games and rs99 was deducted from my account...i contacted customer care and they said my amount will be credited in 4 hrs but till now it has not been credited.. i contacted number of times but my call is being disconnected....airtel is cheating people...

I have lodged complaint nearly 50 times regarding failure of 3G activation for my number [protected]. It seems no one in airtel customer care has knowledge to solve my problem.. All of them keep telling the same answers every time. 3days back i contacted email customer care they told they have raised a service request reg the issue and they told customer care people will contact u within 24 hrs like that.. But till now no update on the service request [protected].
I wasted lot of my time in arguing with u people... Airtel 3g service is a big let down......

Hi,

I am very unhappy with the kind of service I am getting for a being an airtel customer for over 7 years with my other number. As a customer if I don’t get proper response from nodal office I should go to the appellate office, but I as a customer is mistreated at the appellate office who am I suppose to escalate this.

I had called the appellate office twice and reached the same person named Shanty Bindal, who on Friday informed me that he cannot help me as his system was under up gradation so I requested him to call me back , which he didn’t do, neither did he transfer me to other officer, instead asked me to call after 4 hrs, so I told him to ask the person named Aman Kapoor to call back as he was the one who had promised me that he will call back and inform me the status of my request no matter what happens, but didn’t call back. So overall I was left with no answer and was just hoping to get a call back. Didn’t happen and its Tuesday today that I called the appellate office again and reached the same person Shanty Bindal who still states that his system was under up gradation and I should call him back after 4 hrs, because he can’t do anything. He denied even passing me to someone superior to him. Though knowing very well that I have been calling several times now there is no ownership shown to resolve the issue, instead the attitude says that the customer will stop calling in sometime if we don’t do anything to help.

If this is what everyone at airtel thinks then I think I need to move to another service provider who could value its customers.

Though I have been with airtel for over 7 yrs the kind of service I am getting is not at all appreciated, and I have very disappointed with this.

I don’t think I had asked for more as a customer but you guys have seriously been a disgrace.

I want someone to reply to this mail and also let me know what am I suppose to do next in order to get an answer. Else the only option with me is to change the provider.

Thanks for all the inconvenience caused..!

Dear Sir / Madam,




I have been using Airtel Services since last seven years.

My Phone No. is[protected].

But since jul’09 months I am very much frustrated by your service.



After seeing my bill for june –july , I asked to CCE why my plan have changed for telephone line.

I requested to revert back my telephone plan to existing plan. But this was not materialised so I asked for cancellation of my connection.



Then I got a call from retention team by Mr. Sonu Tomar.

He gave me welcome back offer – old plan for my telephone line,

A New Plan for my broadband with a new ph. no. (as it is combo plan) & 20% discount on broadband rent for next six month alonhwith a waiver of Rs. 400 for my June-july bill.



Then I got a call from Mr. Vinay to know wether I am agree with welcome back offer.

I was agree with that offer so on the basis of that offer I continued with Airtel.



But I got disappointed by sseing my next bill (july- Aug.)

This time again I got a call from retention team by Mr. Om.



On the basis of welcome back offer commited by Mr. Om again I agreed to continue with Airtel.

I made payment of Rs. 600 as per my conversation with Mr. Om but nothing was updated in your system as I was getting continous call for balance ( While I have got waiver)



Then I approached to nodal & appellate, But nothing worked out. Instead 50% concession on rental also discontinued.



With reference to our conversation with Ms. Manjeet Kaur on 11.11.10, we got assurance that this concession will be activated on our no.

and she told us to submit Handicapped certificate to airtel office. We visited to airtel office but representative denied to accept the same.



Again i approch to nodal, first they told that show ealier bills as aprrof that u were getting this concession, when I produced my older bills then they said in our system there is no such components.

Inspite of continuous followup , I haven't got any reponse. Plz help me in getting proper resolution.

Dear sir/madam
illigal deduction from my balance rs 1/ daily.in the name of value added service.without asking by us for the service.we neaver asked for any kind of services from the company. they register our number themselves for the services as illigaly deduct the money without bringing the matter in to our notes.please a attention to our complait and do the needful to take action against the company.

I have obtained prepaid SIM from airtel hoping to avail 3G services on my black berry 9300 Airtel prepaid - No.[protected]. After having sufficient plan money > Rs.399 – when the process is completed and remittance amount is mentioned, reply SMS says new prepaid customers “we are unable to process you request. If you are a new prepaid customer please try again after 24 hours”. This amounts to say that their existing system is not fully operational or setting is being done now. After having completed process and not getting the services desired for three days – again today I am told to wait up to 48 hours.

I think it is a clear case of systems not functioning whether hardware or software or technical people are unable to handle new accounts. After five hours speaking to several agents and three nodal officers today, I could see ‘3G’ for some time on my Mobile and off and again on; once ‘GPRS’ was also seen. At the time of writing this mail I see on ‘edge’ appearing.

Airtel should not entertain request for 3G services and ask the customer to follow the process of registration, until their systems are in order and if it is going to be 48 hours later, then should ask customers to start the process of registration only after 48hours and just not give excuse as “we are unable to process you request. If you are a new prepaid customer please try again after 24 hours”. I have lost about Rs.100 speaking to Airtel customer care for no avail.

Please inform me whom should I contact in your esteemed Authority for redressal of my grievance.

Respected Sir,

I had already mailed this mail to Airtel at [protected]@in.airtel.com on 01.10.2011 at 10:02 pm and also to the Chairman and and as well as Legal Adviser/TRAI. I also received a acknowledgement message on my Mobile number [protected] through 121 that "Thank you for writing to Airtel. We acknowlege the receipt of you email. We shall revert to you within 24 hours. And after laps of time I am mailing you the same complaint as no communication has been made through Airtel till date.

I am the subscriber of Mobile Service from last 9 years and using 8 mobiles from Airtel only. On 01.10.2011at around 1:15 pm i got a same message by AD-Service on my CUG's mobile numbers which are activated in the Bill Plan RA 13 CUG 25 (North) which is a corporatate connection of Railtel, Ministry of Railways, New Delhi that "Your bill plan will be revised w.e.f. 1-Oct-11. New rates: Monthly Rental Rs. 140, local @30 p. STD @60, National Roaming @ 60 Unlimited GPRS @ Rs 50 @ Zonal CUG free.

As it was a very shocking message that without my request how my plan got changed. As the CUG numbers were activated in COIP "Company Owned by Individual Paid". And at time of activation only my Railway id proof was taken by the airtel representative and my numbers got activated without any written/verbal agreement that in near furture the plan will get changed and as well as no information was also provided that the plan will automatically changed without taking my consent.

As the the Bill Plan RA 13 CUG 25 (North) is the Zero Rental Plan and all of sudden I have to pay Rs. 140/- rental per month on each mobile which finally comes to the monthly expense of Rs. 1120/- is not a small ammount.

It is a clear cut cheating of the company, and such types of frauds can't expected by the reputed Company like Airtel. I want to tell you that Railways is not bearing any expenses on my usages and only I am paying monthly rentals from my pocket for my usages. As it is matter of my own concern I will definately file a suit in Consumer Court for such type of act against the company. And I will not pay rent for my mobile connections as my plan was activated in zero rental and I will also not discontinue my all the mobile services untill any legal decision will come. What ever tie up Airtel had made with Railways or Railways had made with Airtel, I am not aware of that, my connection was activated in Zero Rental let it remain activated in same plan and not in revised one which is of with Monthly Rental of Rs.140/-.

I therefore request you to kindly look into the matter at the earliest. An early action is highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards.

Hello Folks,

Need all of your expertise here...

I have an Airtel Bangalore connection and I normally send several National(STD) messages everyday to my friend staying in Jharkhand who is having a Reliance connection in Bihar/Jharkhand circle. I used to have my Nokia messaging system activated in my Nokia E72 cell phone and my bills used to be a bit high due to the data transfers for emails. So last month I deactivated that service to reduce my bill amount. From then on my national messages to the above mentioned Reliance number stopped getting delivered.
I complained about it to the Customer Service for which they kept telling me that it’s not Airtel’s problem and told me to check with the other Service provider.
A few points to note here:
• My friend is able to Receive and Send both Local and National SMSes from/to all others including Airtel numbers, but unable to receive my messages. I am able to receive SMSes from that Reliance number.
• I am able to Receive and Send both Local and National SMSes from/to all. I even receive National SMSes from the above Reliance number but message sent back to that Reliance number is not received at the other end, even though my cell doesn’t show as undelivered and can find the sent messages in my Sent Items.

Now to my surprise, after last month’s billing cycle was over my messages to that Reliance number have started getting received at the other end.
My Question:
1. Is it possible that Airtel DELIBERATELY stops messages to a particular number (where the frequency of messages is very high) for sometime atleast, so that they can force us to increase the calls to that number thereby increasing their call revenues ???
Reason for my Question:
I really feel this because Airtel’s Customer Service people kept telling me that there were no issues on Airtel’s end and then suddenly National messages started getting delivered to that Reliance number after my billing cycle was over.

Hi,
This is regarding my postpaid mobile connection [protected] provided by airtel. I have been using this number for the past 6 years. Recently I got an update that there is an offer for 3G usage in Airtel which is called 3G Double Dhamaka plan. I was in a normal Rs. 98 GPRS plan where I was getting 2Gb free in a month. I thought of giving a try to the 3G stuff and changed my plan to Rs. 100 for 200MB. The highest speed offerred by Airtel is 21.1 Mbps as advertised by them. I am not asking for that speed any how and just need something near to 5-10% of the top speed. Right now I am getting a speed of around 300 Kbps which is not acceptable at all. I raised a complaint with Airtel customer care and they said I will get a call within 4 hours, I waited till 4 days but still notcall. I called Airtel customer care again and they said they are escalating the issue and not able to give me a reason whether why I didn't get a call or whether why the issue is not resolved.

I just wanted to make awareness to all the Airtel 3G users, you are not getting the speed for which your paying and what they advertise. I will update this in facebook and also please inform this to all your friends who are using 3G. Airtel is cheating all their customers and people are not aware of it at all.
