Dear sir,

I am Silo Joseph ,my number is [protected] and i am an airtel customer for the last four years.
I still remember that in beginning days of my subscription with airtel for about for two years i had no issue with your service and thats the period when i suggested my company ( Centenial Sugical Sutures Ltd ,Mumbai ) your profile when they were looking for a corporate connection and now all over india we have almost 250 airtel cug plan
In kerala there are 16 airtel plans for our company.Out of which almost all the connection is having issues with your signals and its a serious for us.We all as you know are in to marketing and we cant afford to loose any of our customer because of a silly reason like my mobile was not reachable
I personally feel that something terribly has gone wrong with your technical department.I have reported my problem two years ago and registered my first complaint on 02/10/2009 and reference number is 28641471, the last complaint was registered on 02/07/2010 with reference number 32979941 and i am afraid that nobody has taken it up to fix the problem .
I request you to take action immediately to rectify the problem or we will be forced to recommend our company to change all India CUG plan to another service provider.
Hope that you will act upon the issue as early as possible .

Thanking you
your's faithfully.

Sir,
My Complient is that Airtel has a short range in my town. The tower is situated inside my town itself its just 700meters away from my house,but until now i am not recieving a single point signal from it when ever it detect for a network it shows the signal is currently provided from another tower which is 4-7 km away from our area .Sir i just want to know why the customer care neglect the complaint from our area ,even they have an running tower in our area itself. I and my area pepole had complaint it to Airtel customer care many times regarding this but they take it in a cool manner even not responding to us when they can resolve this problem

Thanks and regard`s

Airtel Prepaid Connection — Charged for services not activated

Network problem is tremendeous

requird action from govt. body

I called up the Airtel Broadband customer care to get a new connection. The Execuitve did asked me all the details and said that you will recieve a call with in 48 hrs. After 48 hrs I did again called customer care and asked what happened, he said it is in progress and you will be again contacted till tommorow evening. but now its almost a week and there is no iformation from there side.
This is the customer service I am getting from Airtel, I donot know whom to contact and what is the excalation level.

One Mr.maalikarjun, sr.officer, sales from Bharti airtel services ltd., madiwala, bangalore advertised and approached me that in my are airtel is providing broadband connection.He assured that broad band connection will be provided within 10days. On his assurance i have applied for broadband connection (Appl.no.BA 223401) on 4th march 2009 along with cheque fro Rs.1000/= and other necessary documents.When enquired after one week he started some excuses for not giving the connection as promised. On verification it was found that the cheque has bbe already produced to the bank and cleared on 6th march itself. When i want enqquire why still the connection has not been provided, he started avoiding the calls. Today, when cotacted the Bharti airtel office at Koramangala, bangalore (phone:[protected], I was shocked to learn that my application was rejected on technical ground that it is not feasable in our area. If so why did the sr. officer sales lied? Why my cheque was presented and encashed within 2 days of my submitting the application? It appears that the firm is cheating the people like this and collecting the money. Further, it seems that a refund order will be sent afetr 2 weekssince I contacted them. Is ther no way to punish this type of fraud?

Hi,

I have been trying to get in touch with the Airtel BB customer care in order to enquire about broadband. After making several calls at 4444121, all that I have got are assurances and request ids. A rep called up and told me that he would get back in touch after checking the feasibilty of the connection in my area. That was 4 days ago and I am still waiting for the call. Today, I called up again and was asked to wait for some more time!!

My request ids are : 32385939 and 22410606

Please let me know if I can expect anybody to call me up regarding this as I intend to get my connection done asap.

Hi,

I have been trying to get in touch with the Airtel BB customer care in order to enquire about broadband. After making several calls at 4444121, all that I have got are assurances. A rep called up and told me that he would get back in touch after checking the feasibilty of the connection in my area. That was 20 days ago and I am still waiting for the call. If i don't get ur call wid in 2 days i'm going to complaint against u to ur HOD and in customer cell...

I registered for a broadband connection in Korattur area - 4th Street on 15th May 2010.
The contact person was Premnath from Airtel - Ph [protected].
He took 2000 Rs from me, and registered for a connection app no : CH989321.
He told me it will take 2 days for the connection. I had waited for almost 3 weeks and I did not get a proper response nor any work was done for my connection.
Later I contacted Airtel broadband customer care on 1st June and lodged a complaint - complaint number 3335618 to process my refund. They told me it will take 15 working days for the refund to be processed.
After that they never contacted me regarding status. Today (10th June), I call them up and they say that they cannot provide me with a connection, and repeated the same information, when I asked them about status of refund, they told me that they can take a new request and get it processed. Second complaint number 33696716. Im not sure now when I will get my money back.

Hi,
I requested for a new connection with Airtel broadband. I gave my request form one and half months ago. The representatives from Airtel tells that connection limit is reached in my area. I'm residing in the below address
No 27, Ganapathypuram first main road, Pallikaranai, Chennai 600100. Mobile : [protected].
Also there are three people in my street itself waiting for the connection from Airtel.
Please let me know whether there is any procedure that needs to be followed to get the connection in this case. I'm not satisfied with any other service providers and I'm eagerly waiting for airtel connection in my house.
Also let me know if there is any escalation procedure available with Airtel to escalate the request to higher management.

When can i expect the resolution????

I have already mentioned my address in the complaint

My address:- G-901/902, Palm Court, Link Road, Malad West, Mumbai-400064

My contact no. +91-[protected]


Thanks,

I only have plenty of complaint numbers from the customer care (4 of which are noted below and others i don't remember) but no service :_

9716273
1819640
1919610
2115630 (today's complain no.)

The account number has already opened in your system under Sumit Maheshwari, account number being [protected]. I guess the customer care executive and the engineers both are sleeping. Sorry to say but your services are highly pathetic.

hello Airtel complaint cell,

I am from chennai K K Nagar, i too had the same problem of waiting 4 days after raising the request for new connection. Basically, i ahve used airtel and was out of station for some time hence disconnected the same, however the line from the airtel box into my home is still available and hanging inside my home. I raised request for airtel connection, none turned up for feasibility check. First of all, if you are giving connection to the same person why do your call centre people dont think there is no necessity on feasibility check? none turned up. I called up justdial to enquire on airtel usb modem and finally the call came from one of the sales guy of your's for bb conneciton. he came, he took all necessary details, committed as if he will provide it at the end of the day since there was no requirement for feasibility check. I gave 500 rs for installation charges and i am still waiting for the installation to happen. Why do you become so insane to keep customer waiting for your connection? u were the best in customer service. however, you have turned topsy turvy and giving false commitments and slipping delivery / installation time for the customer. Is this all about airtel customer service? The sales guy name is Augustin from one of your vendor around chennai ashok nagar.

If you cant deliver, dont commit; If you commit, dont fail to deliver..

I want aritel bb connection at the earliest, i had waited enough.

AirTel — unnecessary messages and activation of schemes not asked for

i have been receiving some messages telling me about some unneccessary schemes, without me subscribing to them the operator has put them on, on my number. i have encountered such problems more than once and to this effect i want to file a consumer complaint against the company as the people at their outlet are lousy and do not lend a helping hand at any point.
i want that the issue be considered with serious thought or else i shall move on to filing an public interest litigation against the company

One of the biggest blunders of my life is changing from BSNL to Airtel.
Based on the healthy talk around about Airtel offering a better customer service. I decided to go for Airtel one month back. I took a sim ( new connection ) from Airtel outlets and activated it after provide all the required documents.
Today, the incoming and outgoing are blocked due to documentation problems. I resubmitted my documents thrice, no use at all. Finally my sim shows even shows an sim-registration error.

Pathetic service from Airtel help line also, no one wants to answer the questions. They keep talking the same bull s***, sir documentation has rejected nothing can be done its according to TRAI. I don’t know where ‘TRAI’ is coming from, when I submit my documents more than 3 times at Airtel customer care.

Shame on Airtel for offering such a pathetic service. Guys.. if you keep doing this I am sure you will have to close your company someday.

My sincere recommendations from people who want to switch ‘PLEASE don’t shift at all’, at-least to ‘AIRTEL’. My number was [protected]. My email id is [protected]@gmail.com

Good Morning to all of you,
Again, I received the same message of Video Talkies dated 30/07/2011 at 09.17a.m. i.e. Your weekly subscription to video talkies will be renewed in 3 days and you will be charged Rs. 15 for 7 days. If you wish to stop "Video Talkies" click here---- http://tk.vuclip.com/api/airtel_talkies?reqtype=UNSUB


Again secondly on 02/08/2011 at 11.18 a.m., I received the same message i.e. "Your weekly subscription to Video Talkies will be renewed in 3 days and
you will be charged Rs. 15 for 7 days". And Rs.15 has been deducted.

The mail which I received from you side was " We would like to inform you that your concern related to the deactivation of the Full Video service has been registered. Your Service Request number is [protected], in any future communication about this concern. Our team will contact you on or before[protected] with an update on the same." Till today, I didn't receive any call regarding this service. If it's possible for your technical team to deactivate the service, then its OK, otherwise, i think I'll change the Airtel No. & go for some other no. b'coz its not possible for me to sit in a cyber-cafe after 3 alternate day & mailing you for this.
2times, they have credicted the amount, again 2day, 15 rs has been deducted.

You always send ur auto generated mail which is of no use nor ur executive call us.

Airtel — scheme not activated

I have received continous messages from airtel on 22nd 23rd 24th September regarding a offer of 33rs recharge where I will get 27 Rs instantly and rs 38 within 48 hours and 100 minutes airtel to airtel free and when I have a recharge of rs 33 I only get rs 27 at that time and I waited fot the talktime and I registered a complaint no CBNRA[protected] ON 27th September and till now no action has been taken on my complaint. I had called up the customer care and they said that sir you are speaking lie and no such message has been sent to you .and when I try to contact them again they disconnect my phone in between. Airtel has a bad customer service and Its network is also losing its quality. But airtel should not forget customer is the king and I am now thinking of mnp
My phone no [protected]

Hi,

Even my dad got a call yesterday but my dad was brainwashed by that fellow, n unconciously my father gave his account no. Later when he disconnected the call he realised, he launched an FIR just to be on safe side.
Call was from pakistan, as its 0092 and it is a code of pakistan and the guy name is Sameer (bhai) - Agent and Sanjay Singhania (Sr.Supervisor).
I guess this is a Pakistani Gang who z running this Scam, as they dont have any else and these pakistanis are not capable of doing anything, so they have found a new way of there livelihood.

Thanks & Regards

Airtel Postpaid — False Billing charges

Hi Sir,

have been facing a serious problem with my Airtel post paid connection billing. Every month they are charging me Rs 120/- reg registering a Wap service called GamesClub.in

For the past four months i have been receiving SMS from Airtel 54321 saying -
"Thanks for subscribing GamesClub.in.You've been charged Rs.30. Enjoy http://gclub.in"

and

"You have been renewed for GamesClub subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs 30. "

I am receiving 4 such sms every month. so totally, they were adding extra Rs 120/- in my bill every month.
This comes in SMS-Others category of my detailed bill.

Every month i will be calling Airtel Customer Care and registering complaints against this issue and they did apologized me in the beginning and assured me that this will be repeated and told me that this amount will be adjusted in the next month bill.

For one month they did like that, but later whenever i call them and say about this, they will say like - "We will raise waiver for this madam !!"

I do not know what actions they have taken, none of the things have changed..It continues till this month.
So i stopped calling them and this month i have directly gone to the Airtel Showroom at Annanagar,Chennai and explained them the issue.

I demand an explanation for the happenings and immediete discontinuation of the specific service from my mobile.
The showroom manager assures me, the service will be immedietly and will be sending an e-mail to the orresponding team to adjust the amt in my next bill.And he asked me to pay the remaining amount in my due.(I was charged Rs 240/- extra for tat sms)I did pay the remaining before my due date but till now am getting calls from airtel customer care asking me to pay the remaining due Rs 240/- (tat sms charges).

Even after explaining the problem, they are not accepting their faults and threatening me to pay the remaining amt. An executive (girl) called in the morning and i told her i was instructed by the Airtel office guy not to pay the Rs 240/- and he would have sent an e-mail to the corresponding team and i ask her to search for it. Also i did tell her i will be going to that same office and get it cleared. She kept the phone then.

But in another one hour i got a call from same number and a different executive called me and he asked me to pay the bill in a rude manner. He was not listening to my problem and when i asked him to cross check the complaints/queries raised on behalf of my number, he replied in a very rude manner saying its not my job and u need to go and get if you want.

In my life time, i have never seen or heard of this kinda worst Customer Service anywhere.
They are not finding any values in thier customer and not listening to their problems.

I request the respective officials to take some rigoruous actions against this forgery. And please let me know where i can register a legal complaint against this service provider, if required.

Kindly accept this as my complaint and do neccessary actions so that they wont keep cheating other customers.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for your action.

I was contacted by Airtel Customer Care service on 2 days before and they assured me to adjust the amount that was wrongly charged towards my account.

I was given a Reference Number - F[protected] as a proof for my interaction with them.

Hope the assurance will come true in my next bill..

- Ramya
