It is very shameful on the part of AIRTEL TO PROVIDE POOR SERVICES AND HAVE NO VALUE FOR THE CUSTOMERS.

Till date the set top box is not replaced although when the complaint was given it was in the warranty period. Inspite of putting up the complaints on their customer care they refuse and say that they havew not recieved any complaints , The most liars executives are sitting and are not at all concerned about the customer.

I got a call today ie on 18th Aug 2011 from the no:[protected]asking for the reason for the complaint which I had put on the net. Everything was briefed and was told he will let me know after confirming the facts.

In the afternnoon I get a SMS stating that the complaint is resolved and now the is no complaint from our side pending.

It is very pthatic and ridiculous that without solving the issue these stupids have closed the topic from their side.

My STB is non functional and in my account I have Rs 91.00 balance. They are nor even refunding the amount.

Please it is a kind request to all other customers DO NOT EVER GO FOR AIRTEL DTH CABLE THEY ARE CHEATS . EVEN IF YOU GET A FREE CONNECTION DO NOT INSTALL.

Their srvices and the quality is poorer than any other and the customer care people are very rude and do not even have any proper knowledge .
I agree with Anita. Even I am facing the same problem with my Airtel HD STB which I got last year in November with our Samsung LED TV. We are facing problems since last 3-4 months and have logged complaints with Airtel customer care many times. Most of the customer care people do not know much and most of the times there are issues with the call quality in terms of audibility (Ironically I have an Airtel connection for my phone). After many complaints, one person visited us and told us they are getting many complaints regarding the HD STB and the only solution is to replace the STB with another one. The one which he brought in his second visit seemed to be old one and we refused to get it replaced. When we contacted Delhi customer care executive, he told that is the only solution and he will try to arrange for a newer box but that never happened. He also told since Airtel is not the manufacturer, they can not fix it themselves.We are fed up with this and just paying money for the cable but not able to enjoy it since we have signal issues always. One of my friend also had similar problem when their HD box started giving problems after 2-3 months of purchase. I initially thought very good of Airtel in terms of quality, and customer service and am using Airtel's services for phone, internet and cable but now I am thinking of changing my service provider.

    My name is Jeyanth Kumar([protected]), I bought airtel digital tv last year. and the set top box PROVIDED BY AIRTEL is not working properly. The audio is not working in HDMI while it works in AV out.. now when i called customer care support they said they would charge Rs.100 for visit and Rs.250 to rectify the problem. will airtel charge for a visit to a NEW customer. when i applied for airtel he visited more than 3 times during installation. and how dare airtel charge a customer for silly things. the damn set top box is provide by airtel, which is probably under standard manufactured in china. Airtel offers worst after sales service.. Am sure ill go for tata sky+ within next few months..

        Dear Sir/Madam,

        I owe a Airtel Cell phone connection number: [protected] since 2004. From the past 5 days suddenly I started receiving Comedy Jokes sms on my number. For initially first 2 days I didn’t realize because everytime at the end sms there was a statement saying “For comedy zone Dial 50101”. This note interpreted that it a just a information sms and if I want to continue this service so I should Dial 50101 and subscribe for this service. But however, it was not the case. Finally today I called Customer care service, even though nowadays there is a charge of 50 paisa per 3 minutes I insisted on talking to customer service representative and resolve the issue. My first call gone waste as there was no voice from other end so there was a direct deduction of 50 paisa. My second call passed through and my call attended by their executive’ JANVI’. She was a real freak, didn’t have any manners to speak with client. As if customers are her SLAVES. She was not ready to understand the issue and insisting on saying that I have requested for activation of this service. It was a icing on a cake when I came to know that apart for this value added service there is another service of Nightlife which is activated since June 20, 2011. Everyday there is a deduction of re.1 for each services (Rs.2 on daily basis). Overall my total deductions are from Nightlife pack Rs 57 (June 20, 2011 – Till date (August 18, 2011) and Comedy Jokes Rs. 8 (August 11, 2011 – August 18, 2011) = 57+8 = Rs. 65/-. After the deduction of Rs. 65/- she (Janvi) is replying that they revert only rs. 6 i.e.., of past 72 hours only. So I insisted to speak with her senior ‘Ankita’ and she replied the same and she was not ready to understand the problem. I am really upset with the quality of service provided to me by the company.

        Please take necessary action and make me return my sum. Please realize such customer executives who make fun of customers.

        Thanks in advance

          Dear Sir/Madam,,


          I subscribed for airtel broad band connection on 26/07/2011 , The application form no is SEF No. CH 1221188. I paid an amount of 1000/- towards getting connection on the same date. The cheque also got cleared. The connection was not given even after 5weeks .so I spoke to customer care daily ( Archana, Navin, Dhanjaya ) and also Manager ( Rajiv ) they told problem will be solved with in 2days. I have been hearing this two days for 4 weeks.



          A guy ( Yuvaraj [protected] ) came at our door took the documents ( PAN card photo copy and Ration Card Copy ) on[protected] and took Rs.1000/- Cheque. He assured to get connection by 4-7 working days. I contacted him for more than 50 times finally pickup the call and said contact customer care only. Not the Sales Team.



          I have been keep calling Customer care for more than 3 to 5 times day, Some people will pickup the call and simply put me hold and hung up. Some people wont even say the anything simply disconnect the call, Even superviosor spoke to me and put me on hold to check the records and even he hung up ( Rajiv Chennai).. no courtesy to call back also WORSET , AIRTEL CUSTOMER CARE TEAM. these guyz fit for nothing.



          I had lodged compliant with the customer service to look in to the matter. However, i regret to say that the customer service was absolutely of no use





          Kindly do the need full or please kindly guide me how to take action against them for not providing proper support.

            Hi i am using airtel for the last 6 years. my number is [protected]. i am being charged 1Re. daily for the past months for junk JOKES from 54542. I tried to contact the customer care and also tried the UNSUB sms but nothing worked out. I losing my money daily.
            AIRTEL INDIA SCAM - Airtel cheating customers. Charging them with junk services without their consent. 1 Re. per junk SMS for each of airtel customers a day will earn them millions each day. even worse is the customers who are scammed cannot contact the customer service for any reason. Think its hightime to fight against these CORPORATE CORRUPTION too.

              My mobile of AIRTEL SIM does not allow any Incoming call, if it is not in use for 2 to 3 hours i.e. if there is no outgoing activities like o/g call or sms etc for 2-3 hrs, the caller receive a false msg that the mobile is in switched off condition even though my mobile is in switched on condition.This is happening even after inserting the SIM in different makes of mobile set.First I contacted customer care and they lodged a complaint vide ref COGCI[protected] date July18, 2011.On July 20, it was intimated that the problem had been resolved, however the problem was persisting.Then I made communications with Bharati AIRTEL Nodal officer through e-mails, phone calls etc till July27. Since there was no improvement hence I communicated Appellate Officer of Bharati AIRTEL and he confirmed that the problem would be resolved by August17.However, till today the problem is persisiting and no communication has been received from him.Now I am feeling helpless since I donot know to whom should I contact when Appellate Officer also failed to address the problem.As per TRAI website I could not find any contact to communicate, in case Appellate Officer also declined to solve the problem.Kindly guide.

                Dear Sir/Madam,
                This is w.r.t our Corporate Connection which was taken on 14.06.11. The number allotted to us was[protected]. THe connection was taken through Mr. Kapil Nankani MObile NO. [protected]. Mr. Nankani was handed over Rs. 4000 in cash for the Instrument Charges and he
                mentioned on the CEF No. 2768404 where payment details are mentioned as Rs. 4000 with CEF.


                However once I have received the bill then to my astonishment i have seen that rs. 4000 has been levied as other
                charges. For the same we have tried to contact Mr. Kapil Nankani, however he has constantly avoided taking our call and has not reverted. We had earlier also made a complaint at your Noida Sector 59 address, however our query was not resolved. We have again made another complaint for which reference no given was 2392772. The CEF clearly mentions that Rs. 4000 has been paid alongwith the CEF.


                He has earlier also tried to mislead us by selling multiple individual connections in the name of our director Mrs. Sweta Priyadershi. connections sold earlier were 4116767, 4116969. The same was done seemingly because he looks after Individual connection and not corporate connection.

                What is really bad is his behavious in not picking up the calls and misleading us constantly.


                Request you to kindly investigate the same and take strong action against the individual concerned. If no action is taken then
                we shall be forced to file an FIR. awaiting your quick revert,

                  Hello Sir,

                  I am currently using Airtel Network and recently they offered for me Airtel to Airtel 10 paise and other networks 30 paise. On August 15, 2011 I have recharged for Rs. 50 and my plan changed without any prior information from Airtel and I have charged for 30 paise for all networks. I contacted customer service regarding the same and one of the Agent escalated to supervisor named Mr. Ganesh and not resolved my issue and provided Nodal office number and I spoke with one of the officer and never replied proper resolution and not taking care about the issue. And also they said you will get full talk time for Rs. 50 but still not yet received the same and the complaint number is CBNRA[protected]. I never received any prior notice regarding the plan changes. I kindly request you to contact the Airtel networks and resolve my problem to save my monies.

                  I hope you will do the best to get my same existing plan.

                  Thanking you,

                  Airtel — unwanted plans

                  Dear sir,

                  My father (62 years) uses a AIRTEL GSM*** [protected]*** service, as usual as like many others he just know how to lifta call nothing more than that.

                  but Unfortunately his mobile is getting deducted with some charge everyday by the service provider, when i made a call to the customer care, i have come to know that the news packs are activated on the mobile,

                  This is not the first time such things happen, but when ever we make a call to customer care, they say the plan is activated when their promotional calls were lifted by us, but this is highly irritating thing, when we want ot activate the Donot disturb service, they say it gets activated in 45 days.

                  i request You to make some crucial action on TRAI on providing the services only when a user sends a message or he/she goes and recharges for that particular pack
                  Hi Rakesh,
                  It's even worse to inform you that I have been charged Rs.1 for all calls. Also, I did not receive any callback from you guys. I need this issue to be resolved ASAP in order for me to go ahead and approach other sources to resolve this issue. If this is not resolved soon, it may leads to sue you guys from Consumer Court. Hope you do not give such bulls...ts. Kindly resolve it ASAP.

                  Regards,
                  Saravanan P
                  Hi Rakesh,

                  I still not received any reply from your end. If you not fixed my issue on or before Monday. I surely file a complaint in Cunsumer Court.

                  I am not able to contact your Customer Service also. Fix the same.

                  Regards,

                  Saravanan P.

                    I recently came across an incidence of phone abuse/harassment concerning Airtel employee/vendor and want to share the experience concerning breach of code of conduct by there employee/vendor.I lived in bangalore from start of 2009 to mid 2010 and used Airtel postpaid number [protected] (Paid 500 as security) but as my work required I had shifted back to delhi,I remember making my final bill payment but can't confirm if I had settled the account for this mobile number.

                    After 13 month,I get a call from [protected] and found a lady , Jenny, who claims to be an Airtel banerghatta office employee,on the other end and she apprised me that I have 2100INR balance for above mentioned Mobile Number and need to pay this amount immediately .I asked for the breakup or details for the charges and she denied stating that they can't produce bill or breakup chanrges for any bill older than 6 months therefore I can not verify the charges as well as I tried calling customer care and found that there are no details for this number in system.After first call,I gave Jenny my emailId requesting her to send details that I need to make payment on Airtel behalf ,so that I can verify she is making correct claims,which she also agreed to

                    .But everything changed when I received call while going to my office yesterday,She called and in strong words asked me to make payment and when i asked if she had sent the mail on airtel behalf she started abusing me stating that If I didn't make the payment by EOD yesterday, she will pick the number from my caller list (number I called and people who called me) and will send a message that I am a cheat and have defaulted on my payment.When I asked to handover the call to her superior she greeted me with further abuse and at one point compare me with people who left their wife after one year etc and abuse continued with such taunts.I asked her following question but didn't get any direction/answer for them

                    1) Why airtel hadn't contacted me in last 13 months even once if any payment was pending? I have nmot changed my email-id which was registered for above number.
                    2)What will happen to my security amount ?
                    3) If I made the payment how I will get the final closure on this so I don't have to come cross such incidence again.

                    I can't believe that Airtel can stoop to such low and they have breached their own code of conduct ,mentioned on their own website and want to remind that in case if the lady take any action as mentioned by her, this is a clear case of breach of confidentiality and image tarnishing by Airtel.

                    I have been using airtel services for more than 7 years and have not faced such a terryfying incident before though i know i might not have settled my account before leaving bangalore in hurry
                    but I am not the only culprit as company failed to contact me via e-mail/phone in last 13 months.

                    I am ready to pay all my dues but need details and proper closure and Only one request "STOP Harassing".

                    Hope to get a quick response from your side or provide me with contact details of a person who can guide me.

                    Thanks,
                    Hariom Sharma

                          Hi Team,

                          This is to bring to your notice that attached bill is still showing an amount of INR 1537 as due for last month. I had also called up on the customer care but seems like they were least bothered to fix my concern.

                          To give you an overview, my Airtel IPTV connection was not working for the entire month of June for which I have 11 different ticket numbers (mentioned below).

                          436922 - On May 30th

                          [protected] June 18th
                          [protected] June 20th

                          [protected] June 30th

                          Finally issue was fixed on July 05th. During entire month of June, I was harashed by numerous phone calls stating again and again that my issue will be fixed (since I also work in a call center and sleep during day time),attending those calls was no less than a night mare for me.

                          I also got a confirmation call after July 05th from Airtel executive to check if my connection was working fine and since I somehow knew that next thing coming my way is the monthly bill, I did asked that exective to ensure that I am not charged for the duration my connection was not working & he assured me the same.

                          Now, from last 10 days I am getting call from Airtel on daily basis asking why I have not deposited the amount and everytime I have to tell them the complete story. This is again no less than harrsment as they don't even look at the history of customer before calling and all they are concerned about is damn bill. Is that how AIRTEL takes care of their customers??

                          Atlast, today (August 17th) I decided to walk upto Airtel store in hope of a solution, irony of my life... system was not working there. Lady executive over there noted my concern and all details (including above mentioned ticket numbers) and ensure me that she will call back in next 1 hour and that never happened. Since, I am in need... I again went to the Airtel Store (almost after 3 Hours) and by that time Lady executive had already left. Another Person Anil Verma assured me a call back tomorrow, lets see what happens next........

                          Meanwhile, I just thought I should write to all airtel departements in hope that someone will read this email and will help me.

                          Regards,

                          Mayank Aggarwal

                          Thanks for acknowledging my concern, however just wanted to inform you that... I have still not received any update from the Airtel Store (Sahara Mall, Gurgaon) I visited yesterday. I called Anil twice and did send him an SMS... still no update.

                          Please help me get the waiver for period my connection was not working & meanwhile if you can get my connection started again as it has stopped working from last two days (seems like disconnected). Due to unavailability of Broadband, I am unable to check my official emails which are in turn hampering my work.

                          Rakesh - Is anyone really looking into my billing concern? As mentioned in my complaint above, I walked up to Airtel Store assuming that they will have some extra privileges but seems like their situation is even worse than a call center executive. Till Date I have not received any concrete answer from them.

                          Secondly, a new harassment has started from Airtel... I am getting calls from unknown numbers and they are asking if we can come to collect bill. A person by name Sharaft called me this morning (# [protected]) and asked me if he can come to collect the bill and was rude, I again got a call around 3.30 PM from number [protected] and same story.

                          If this is how Airtel wants to treat their customer, than I think the only Option I am left with is to file a harassment & incorrect billing case in consumer court against Airtel Service.

                          This is my worst experience with Airtel till date.

                          Rakesh - I don't think that anyone is really working to get my issue fixed because my connection has been disconnected from last 4 days. Is that what satisfaction means in your dictionary. I am sorry for my language but now I am really frustrated.

                          Resolved??? By whom? I did received a call from airtel today and was told that adjustments will be done within next 90 days period. So until I get to know the revised amount I need to pay... This concern will remain unresolved for me. Lady who called me did not gave any surety and herself was very confused. Is that what you term as resolved???

                          Hello Airtel Team,

                          Here I come again after 8 months with the same issue.

                          My IPTV (land line number[protected] has stopped working again. To bring to your notice, I raised a ticket[protected] on 18th Feb 2012 and finally a engineer (Rakesh) visited my place yesterday on 22nd Feb. I was told that a new connection has been allotted to someone else and line port where my connection was patched has been given to him now, due to which my connection has stopped working. I wonder how a company can do this, is that how you treat your old customers (I have this IPTV connection for almost 1.5 years now)?

                          Anyhow, I was assured that my connection will be fixed from the back end. No one bothered to provide an update and finally I decided to call Rakesh who visited my place & I was told that connection cannot be fixed and you get the IPTV connection closed permanently. I was shocked to hear the response from his side.

                          I then decided to call customer care to report this issue (spoken to Priyanka) and no wonder I got to hear a different story. My Ticket 11854036 was closed with a status that there is a problem with the electrical line. What kind of crap is this? Rakesh, who did not even bother to visit inside my house made conclusion on his own that there is a electrical fault? What the hell electrical fault has to do with the Airtel IPTV connection when my TV, Modem, Setup BOX are functional and well attached to the electric board. Since that ticket was closed, I am not allotted a new ticket number 12070196.

                          Airtel Team, pleaseeeeeee... I have seen this in past and DO NOT wish to go through this all again. I had faced a similar issue about 8 months back, my IPTV was not working for more than a month and I was charged for the entire duration my connection was down (now thats a smart way to earn money, provide connection which does not work and than continue charging to the customer).

                          I want some responsible person to look into my issue and get it fixed at the earliest.

                          Mayank Aggarwal

                            I have a broadband connection. Earlier my plan was Impatience plan with 4Mbps and 50 GB download limit FUP. Then I requested it to be upgraded to Turbo 150 GB download limit FUP and they said they did that. That was 2 months back.

                            Today I got a mail from Airtel saying my 25 GB quota is over and for the rest of the billing cycle my speed will go down to 256kbps.

                            Are these freaking retards kidding me? My plan is 150 GB not 25 GB. I asked them to UPGRADE to 150 GB and those bloody DOWNGRADED it to 25 GB.

                            I have been trying to call the customer care for past 1 hour. Each time it takes 5 minutes to get through to one of those so called customer care executives and then they put me on hold while they pull up some data and it gets disconnected every time. Can you believe them? Each time they put me on hold - bam - I lose connection. Airtel is starting to suck donkey balls.

                            Does anyone know how's other broadband services in Bangalore? How is this Tikona broadband? They used to call me up daily and I chose Airtel over them but now I see I might have made the wrong choice.

                              Hi Sir, I am using Airtel from almost 7 years and of late I am facing a lot of problems with their service. In fact they have been very very irresponsible in treating their loyal customers in a very bad way....
                              Today I recharged my monthly GPRS pack of Rs. 98 and to my surprise i noticed that i got only 1 GB of data usage!!! All this time I used to get 2GB... 50% reduction... or to say 50% Hike in tari[censored] and without any intimation??? I am very upset and seriously thinking of porting to other operator...
                              When they know that this kind of schemes affect their loyal customers I strongly feel that they are obligated to at least send an SMS saying that from next recharge you will get 50% reduced data usage... but no when I spoke to their customer executive he, after hearing my grievances, transferred my call to the area supervisor and he started all over again asking my problem and then said he can't go nothing... and it was changed some two days ago... strange...
                              During this neck to neck competition between the operators, Airtel is the only provider who does not care about the customers. We have always come to learn that competition between services benefits the consumers... but alas not with Airtel. Tata Docomo is giving 4GB for 98, Aircel Unlimited for 98 and Airtel 1GB is too bad.

                                false promotion offer given by customer care
                                this was the time i called up customer care for upgrading DTH annual subscription, i was informed by customer care, that you recharge for 325 rupee and you get 350 rupee after 48 hours to your account, he even confirmed that you can do this multiple transaction and each transaction will have 25 bonus rupee reflected in your account. just that i have to recharge every time with 325 rupee. done!
                                i asked him to reconfirm on the same, fair, he placed me on HOLD for a minute and double confirm about above offer. it took 45 mins that evening for me to do 7 * 325 transaction to reach 2100 rupee. latter once all set, i called up customer care, now its shocking they rejected to provide me the offer which they said from there mouth, how shameful. airtel is rumbling bumbling there client they give about there valuable time.

                                nodal was one more pathetic experience, the person who came on support from nodal sounded more like DON and came over phone to say conclusion that we can't do anything PERIOD.

                                its sad that such brand value company are making profits by servicing bad to worst of support, i would be please to leave airtel and jump to other service provider who has meaning and give little importance to there customers. i would insist others to also avoid airtel , its no good dht company compared to tatasky or reliance dth.

                                also DON"T EXPECT NODAL TO HEAR YOUR VOICE, THEY ARE NO GOOD COMPARING AIRTEL CUSTOMER CARE.

                                WHAT A SHAME !!! WHAT A SHAME...
                                MR. Naveen you called up 3 times to me and said we are looking into the matter, we agreed upon the deadline till 15th aug, wondering what made airtel to say you solved my issue. IT SOOO DIRTY TRICK SIR. Also isn't it awful, that u need so many weeks to resolve small small tiny matter ?

                                NODEL IS AWFUL, even corporate team are among the one. All same team i guess.

                                I HAD IT ENU[censored]

                                I Would suggest everyone to AVOID AIRTEL DTH connection, These people are luring by pathetic customer support and even continued to show there lame support. They have no sense what they are dealing on and offering fake discounts offer's to consumer which they reject after accepting the payment.. Lets unite and avoid airtel, they are really no good compare to others.

                                airtel got back saying we are giving u 175 rupess on note of gesture.
                                this is funny, they give promotion offers and reject the same offer in no time and when escalate they come back with a favor... SIR I DON"T NEED YOUR SYMPATHY.
                                FIX YOUR support SYSTEM FIRST, and then do a favor and don't the MARK issues AS RESOLVED until its fixed...

                                  Airtel — Ridiculous customer care service!

                                  I had a outstanding bill of 1783 from jan08, and i dint make payment as i had issues with the call charges applied in the bill and also i had spoken with airtel customer care regarding changing my mob no. to prepaid no., i dint get any proper responce from customer care which forced me to stop making payment.
                                  I received a call from airtel(mr alok) and he after listening to my complaint, setteled the billing amount to 1000 and asked me to pay the same day, so that airtel can issue a noc and get my No. changed to prepaid, i made the payment on same day and updated mr alok and also updated him the receipt no:[protected], he assured me that in a day or two i will get a noc and then i can aproach any airtel outlet and get my no converted, but i dint receive any update till yet
                                  i have also tried aproaching customer care, but they say we dont have any update and i wil;l have to make the balance payment to get my no activated and changed.
                                  please HELP
                                  I am having hell lot of problems with customer care and also with airtel providers as such... They are a pain in the neck... I did not opt for any hello tune service, but i had two times deducted with the amount. And also the sms fecility is bad... Even for a local sms.. They charge rupees two.. This has happned number of times... When i try to contact the customer care guys... They listen to everything and later disconnect the call.. And when i exceed three times to reach and talk to them... All i get to know is ".. To know ur balance, press *123*8#".. What a ridiculout service it is. I want my money to be credited in my accouint and also know why u people do such things... Also tell me about the sms thing... If i am not getting my answer, i have to take action against you guys, i have to complaint to the customer complaint cell... I am very serious on this matter. Talk to me and resolve this matter asap.

                                    I raised a disconnection request on on[protected] and confirmation of the same
                                    has been received on[protected]. And it is informed that within 7 days it will be disconnected. I wrote the second mail(reminder) for disconnection on[protected]. I wrote the third mail(reminder) for disconnection on[protected], and everytime they are sending "We regret the inconvenience caused to you" mail. I called up customer care multiple times; but no effect. Airtel is cheating its customer, because I have to pay the rental, till it finally got disconnected.

                                    Below is the mail thread:

                                    It is nearing a month after the disconnection request, I called up multiple times the customer care and this is the 4th reminder mail I am sending to you.

                                    Everytime you are writing "regret for the inconvenience" mail but not taking any action. I doubt the service of airtel.

                                    Dear Sir/Madam,


                                    I have requested for cancellation on[protected] and confirmation of the same
                                    has been
                                    received on[protected]. I wrote the second mail for disconnection on
                                    [protected]. But the disconnection has not been done yet and both
                                    incomming and outgoing calls are active, as well as the BB connection. As you
                                    said that your team is working on the same;

                                    I am curious and afraid that your team is so unproductive that they are taking
                                    14 days for a 1 day work?

                                    Please take the request on urgent basis and stop the service with immediate
                                    effect.

                                      Hopeless customer services and response to customer.
                                      I am an airtel Digital TV user and my customer id is [protected].
                                      there was problem in signal to setup box. I have registered the complain to customer care. then they told me that their representative will come tomorrow. tomorrow when nobody came i again called then they told me again for tomorrow. After 2 days, one of them had come and he said he cant rectify the problem. i asked for the senior fellow if he could do that. then he gave me the number which was going switch off. Such an fellow he was that he doesnt know how to go to the signal settings in TV.
                                      Horrible experience.
                                      Dont buy this.

                                        Hi Team,

                                        Please note that my Mobile Postpaid amount of Rs.1189.26 is totally
                                        unacceptable for the Month July-Aug. My Mob no is [protected].

                                        I have taken 299 postpaid plan in which I was told that I will be given
                                        750 minutes (local+national) + 100 sms/day.

                                        But in the current bill deductions in total call charges is only Rs
                                        373.7 and also I have been charged SMS service too.

                                        I dont know who will be able to help me out as I am unable to pay such
                                        huge amount for Mobile bill. I think Airtel has started putting
                                        unwanted charges in mobile services which could lead to losing trust
                                        of Public.

                                        Hope you understand this issue and revert asap with an adjusted bill.
