Hello,

I've been using Airtel digital tv for 6 months now. Since last Friday (15/07/2011) am getting Error code 6 in all the channels. When i called up the customer care i was informed that my account is in safe custody. I have not placed any safe custody request in the past.

Till yesterday (18/07/2011) i had a balance of Rs. 40.37 in my Airtel Digital TV account. The customer care executive asked me to recharge to a minimum of Rs. 100 to resolve this Error Code 6 issue. I recharged it to Rs. 100 and now my airtel digital tv account balance is Rs. 140.37, even now the issue is not resolved.

When i called up the customer care today, they informed me that they have escalated this issue to their senior officials and also told that I will receive a call within 30 minutes. I've not got any complaint number for this issue also. I've written to [protected]@airtel.in, [protected]@in.airtel.com and [protected]@in.airtel.com on top of calling the customer care regarding a solution for my issue. Would appreciate if you can resolve this issue immediately. Thanks.

Regards,
Pravin

    I looked up about this prolem on google and found that it's been happening to many people.
    Please help me, get rid of this issue. It's very irritating to get these calls, and since i'm currently on International Roaming...these calls cause great inconvinience.

    Thanks.

    Very Very annoying.. just googled to see who's number it is.. same problem here im on international roaming & can't afford to receive such calls.

    Also it feels as if somebody from home (india) calling for some Emergency...

    Airtel should take some ownership & avoid calling atleast people on international roaming. Airtel customer care can contact me on +[protected]US) to discuss further.

    Now that its happening to so many people please STOP THIS!!

    while posting this i got another call... please please stop this non-sense ASAP..
    I am receiving a call constantly from this number:[protected] on Airtel Network.I don't know what Airtel thinks may they have free time but as a professional i don't.Airtel plss stop messing around and be professional.
    hey,

    i am too facing the same problems, have been recieving calls frequently from 40385950
    & 41027600 etc, when shared with a friend he too mentioned about such calls with similar nos.

    when we are bussy with someting we get a call and its really anoying when its a blank call.

    hope its not a sort of a virus & our personal information is not passed on when we attend the call

    requesting the concerned people to resolve the issue at the earliest as the issue is only with airtel nos.
    Hello Sir/Madam,

    Daily we myself and my parents get around 4-5 Spam calls. One of the call i get from [protected]. Please do needful to resolve it. Our airtel numbers are
    [protected], [protected] and [protected]

        This is ridiculous. I feel, the people working in this show room assumes that the customers are beggars, as if we are begging for some thing. No proper bill provided for the scheme airtel money. and also the recharge amount is not getting credited to my airtel mobile account. moreover they are not accessible at all. I dont know is this service only up to advertisement, actually the process still in-progress. pls dont waste your money in investing this.
        Hi Team, Thanks for the responce, the service has improved
        I just want to bring it to your notice about the treatment i received from your Airtel Relationship Center - Chennai Chromepet Branch.

        I have requested for a Prepaid to Postpaid conversion of my mobile. And add another additional CUG# . Request was given a month before but i m yet to get any response. I walked in to the relationship center multiple times but the response was the same " It would take another week to process" .

        I m seriously not sure what is their process and why does it take such a long time to activate numbers. I tried with different sources and found that it doesnt take that much time and the people in the relationship center was not sure of the process and hesitated to help on request.

        When i went again Chromepet branch said that my prepaid number is a tamilnadu SIM and that cannot be converted to Postpaid. But when i checked with the customer care they said its a Chennai number and they were right.
        Again i walked in to relationship center and the person incharge admitted his mistake and said there was a system mistake and he could process my activation in a couple of days.

        I waited for a week and again walked in to the relationship center, i was again frustrated with the response from their Manager who is incharge and holds the highest escalations. He is so rude not sure how well this relationship center sustained but i want to bring it to your notice. They have collected 330Rs for a connection and i have paid 660Rs for two connections.

        Prepaid to postpaid connection is not processed but my other number got activated. But its not complete as it gets deactivated once in every week. People at your relationship center does nt give any response rather they are asking me to request for a new connection and pay another 330Rs for a connection. I need to know why i need to pay everytime for a mistake from relationship center. Does it mean that customer pays for employees mistake? ?

        I have planned to switch my connection to another provider and also would nt recommend Airtel any more as i have frustrated more than anyone just because not your product is bad. Its all about your relationship center and the way they treat their customers.

        Hope they take actions on the respected people and keep your service with respect to your competitors.

            This is Sunil from Bangalore. I applied for MNP from Idea to Airtel in May 2011. Mobile number is [protected].

            I submitted all the required documents like MNP form, address proof, photo and airtel enrollment form to the executive Sanath in Bannerghatta Road Airtel office. First time the porting request got rejected and I inquired about the same with Sanath. He asked me to wait for another 15 days so that current UPC code will be expired. After 15 days I applied for MNP by generating new UPC code. This time Sanath told me not to submit any document as I had submitted all the documents first time itself. He just sent a message with my UPC code, mobile number, Name and SIM number for porting. This time porting was successful and my idea number got ported to airtel.


            After few days my outgoing calls were barred without even informing me through SMS or call. I called customer care and they asked me to submit address proof again. I submitted address proof in Indiranagar airtel office on[protected] [Ack No : W52113] . I waited for another 3 days as informed by airtel offfice. But it was of no use. Again I called customer care after 3 days and they told me that my MNP form itself is not submitted. I really dont know what happened to the MNP form which I submitted to airtel office when I requested for MNP and also I dont know how airtel back office proceeded further to port a number without having valid MNP form! I had no other choice and I submitted MNP form, enrollment form, address proof and photo in Bannerghatta airtel office on[protected] [Ack no : P5424 , APEF no : 1735374].


            My incoming calls were also barred on[protected] without even informing me through SMS or call. Also I had submitted documnet two days before itself [[protected]]. I gave a complaint to customer care on 31st May to check the status of my application. they asked me to wait for another 3 days to process that complaint. Nobody called me back or updated me regarding this in that 3 days. I called customer care after 3 days and they told me that the form which I submitted on[protected] is not yet received by them!


            I spoke to one of the manager in customer care from Indiranagar airtel office [ref no [protected]] regarding all these delays. He promised me to solve my problem within Monday, 6th June. He also took my alternate contact number. He told me that the problem will be solved even if I dont submit the forms again. He also told me that its not necessary to submit again but it will be better if I can submit the forms again. So i submitted all the forms [MNP form, enrollment form, address proof and photo] again for 4th time in Indiranagar office on[protected] [Ack no : T88873. APEF no : 2954853].


            It was also of no use. I called customer care on Monday evening, 6th June. They took one more complaint and asked me to wait for 3 days! Already I am waiting from almost a month!! complaint number is [protected]. I gave complaint to a lady called Bhavani. She was just listening to all the stories and she was not able to answer my questions properly. She told me that they have lot of customers facing problems and she cant give assurance to solve my problem as early as possible. I dont think this is a right attitude from a Supervisor of customer care.


            My outgoing and incoming calls were barred. Its been almost a month. I am really fed up with following up all these things. Nobody has called me from airtel with any updates even after making so many complaints in custiomer care and even after submitting all the documents 4 times.


            My outgoing and the incoming calls were barred for a month after this. I have sent the detailed mail to the airtel care head but there also i see the delay in handeling the customer.

            After that my calls were activate after verification of the documents which been provided.


            Now today again with out my notification, the connections been barred and I have sufferred a major inconviniece.

            I tried calling customer care again today for three times (latest manjunath) and same reason is been given from them stating there are mismatch in the documents and they are refusing to activate the connection.


            1. IS THIS THE WAY TO DEAL WITH THE CUSTOMER ?
            2. I have provided the document four times. Every time, its been rejected , but there is no answer from any one which document is not matching ( till now this is unknown to me ).
            3. There is no proper co operation from the customer care. Every time they are asking us to wait and giving reason that , there are multiple department and they are not responsible for this. Internal department should be handelled with in the airtel and this headahe they should not give on Customer.
            4. Who will fill the loss occured now for me in these period ?
            5., Why there is no transperancy in the customer care
            6. Whey there is no prior notification to the customer either by call or by sms thay there is a mismatch in the document ?
            7. Whey there is no responisibiliry taken from the senior officials of the customer centre even after sending the mails with the ack no and all the details provided.



            I hope there is some justice here for the inconvinience caused for me and I demand immediate action againest this..


            Seeing forward for your resoponse,..
            The above problem is not yet resolved. I did not get any calls or SMS from airtel.
            I went to airtel center and submitted the document again. This is 5th time!! I still have no hope on airtel canter that they will process my application properly and update me with correct information.
            They have hell lot of departments and worst thing is that these departments do not have co ordination to get the information on customer's application.
            No one is giving proper information when I ask about the status of previously submitted documents. They will just ask the customers to submit the documents again. Its happening with most of the customers.
            Fed up of being airtel customer.
            The number has been disconnected by Airtel because of negligence/ worst service. I had to for new connection because of all these mess up. I have all the reasons for blaming airtel service. Its worst ever I had experienced and I hope not to experience the same that too without any mistake from my side. If at all airtel needs any more details to investigate this contact me on [protected].

            I find no use in complaining at Airtel centers or at Airtel customer care.They take least responsibility in resolving the queries/ complaints from customers. They lack co-ordination among their departments and we have to fetch all the information from other departments and give updates to them when we call customer care.

            Even after complaining from last 2 months they have disconnected my number last week saying that I did not submit the documents in lasttwo months. But I have Ack number for all 4 submissions that I had done so far in Airtel centers. I dont know where these documents have gone.

            Airtel service is worst. Disconnecting a number is not silly and it causes hell lot of inconvenience to the users.
            Actually I was waiting to hear back from you. I have already mailed the same thing with my alternative contact number [protected] to airtel customer care. They replied saying that they were unable to contact me on this number since I did not receive their call. They also mentioned the time and date when they made the call to my alternate number. But I found no missed calls or any kind of notification in my call logs for that day from any unknown numbers! I have replied for that mail and no response from Airtel so far. It shows the lack of interest in resolving the issues/complaints reported by customers.

            Also you could have checked my previous comment to get my alternate number.

            Contact me on the above number to get more details on my complaint. Do not just update the request as solved without doing proper investigation on it.

            One who has commented above saying that they did not get my alternate contact number should have checked the previous comments before writing it.

              Airtel Sim Card No.9944086647 — Lost the Sim Card

              Sir/Madam,
              This is to bring to your kind attention that I had lost my Airtel Sim Card, No.[protected] by misplacing it somewhere in my home. Wherever it may be, I thought it would be safe, because it should be inside my home only. I was with a hope that if I found it, I could use it as an additional phone . Then and there I used to make a call to this number and used to hear the answer 'this number is switched off'. But today when I tried I shocked to hear someone answering me back! I am aware that if for some period, if I don't recharge my number can get cancelled. But I want to make a complaint registered so that it will be a proof, 'I am no more the owner of the number - [protected]', since I had put up my photo, address and other details along with my signature in the application form. I hereby request you that my complaint be registered please.
              Thanking you
              Dr.M.Kannan.
              I am Mrs. Baruna Victor, a residient of D-212, Prashant Vihar, Rohini, Sector 14, Delhi-110085.

              I have lost my Airtel Sim Card on March 2, 2011 (12 pm noon). I have made a complaint to Airtel to block my sim number: [protected] with immediate effect. I do not know if the number has been blocked or not by Airtel but I state that I will NOT BE held responsible for any misuse of the above sim number by anyone as it is has been lost since March 2, 2011 (12 noon).

              Once again I request Airtel to block the above number if it has not been blocked till now.

              Thanks and regards.

                Greetings!

                I am using Airtel no. [protected] from west Bengal circle. I have been charging unknowingly RS. 5/- automatically for two three days from airtel application club. I called the customer care service and they are receiving properly and guiding. Half of the talk they cut the call and I tried many time. Pls do the needful to deactivate this service. I am losing money everyday unnecessarily.

                Thanking you!

                Yours sincerely

                Thanks for your reply but already three days passed, till now they are cutting the balance, in the mean time I got some balance credited in my account but since they are cutting continually those credited amount Rs. 18/- again deducted by the application club. now my balance is RS.1.67 paise...

                I fear to recharge/topup now. what can do? Shall I continue using Airtel or choose other network by MNP... Money is not the matter, but the headache, anger and tension is the problem.

                Kindly solve it soon... pls.

                    Address: Gurgaon, Haryana

                    I’m Atul Gupta, resident of C-371B Sushant Lok Phase – 1 , Gurgaon, Haryana. I bought a new airtel sim with lifetime validity yesterday from a shopkeeper at Vyapar Kendra in Sushant Lok Phase – 1. His shop number is GF – 78.
                    He charged me Rs. 100 for a Rs. 25 sim and another Rs. 100 for a Rs. 100 recharge. I asked for a bill for this, but he refused to give it. Similar is the case with most of the shopkeepers in the same market. They are practicing black marketing of mobile sim cards. When I told that shopkeeper that I will lodge a complaint against him, he replied that go wherever you want to go. Such is the condition for customers.

                    Kindly, look into the matter as these kind of things are creating lot of troubles to the customers and left us with no other option.

                      Aitel giving us the services of IP TV, Borad band service and Land line (under one single bill). We have paid their last bill as demanded by the Air tel and my e-Receipt no.[protected] dated 10/07/2011depostied on 10/07/2011 at 12.42 p.m. throug Manoj Communication-Rohini for the Bill period 05/06/11 to 04/07/11 (Rs.1550/-) and previous 05/05/11 to 04/06/11 (Rs.1367/-). But even after the above payment they continuesly called on our land line and we get the recorded statement which state that the bill is pending for the above period. I called up their customer help desks on 14th July,2011 and he confirmed that they received all the payment and nothing is pending and asked me to ignore the recorded land line calls. But, today again we got a call from their land line number 91 [protected] and they again said that amount is still pending. I herewith request to investigate the case and an immediate appology from their concerned officer. Otherwise I have not option but to approach the appropriate foroum.

                      Looking forward for your intervention and resolution on the above.

                        I ordered airtel dth for my home by paying Rs.2440 as subscription fee through Airtel IVR system. Transaction ID for the purchase is 16101172. I made the payment through IVR on 16-Jul-2011 - Saturday and the customer representative committed saying that the installation will be done on the same day or the next day 17-Jul-2011 - Sunday before i made the payment through IVR. Once i made the payment, their total attitude towards the customer has changed in really a bad way. Airtel Technician didnt turn up that day (Saturaday). When i called Airtel Sales department on Sunday, they made me wait for half an hour in phone that too not connecting back again. I had to hang up the phone since no one turned up. This happened all the three times when i called the customer service. Finally frustrated when i called the fourth time, i told the representative to cancel the order since i am not getting proper response and all false commitment are given only to get the money from the customer. They are seeing customer as only money making machine and they are not ready to provide quality service for the money they get. Finally the representative told since it is sunday they cant send the technician as everyone are on holiday. Agreed. But he also told that they will come Monday by 9 AM. It is 12 PM today when i am writing this , I have already called Airtel Sales Department 2 times, everytime they get the Customer Name and Transaction id and they will tell the Technician will call in another 15 minutes but only to wait becoming a fool. I am totally annoyed the way the representative speaks with some attitude as if he will provide the service only if he feels like doing it and treating the customer like stray dog. What kind of attitude is this??? Unbelievable!!! Telecom giant like Airtel allowing its representative to treat customers like this.

                        I have already developed disrepute towards Airtel before i have started using it . I will be happy if they will cancel my order. I even tried doing it and asked information for it from the representative and i didnt get any proper response. This attitude of the representative is totally condemned and Airtel should take immediate actions on its representative from such action. I can remember one such representative name - Rajesh. I am writing this spending my time just to educate people and let know the concerned person that
                        'Be diligent towards Customer Needs'.

                        Hope this will draw from positive response with a belief that Customers are always valued!


                        Thanks,
                        Suriya
                        Thanks Rakesh for your prompt reply. But i dont have any issues now because i have switched to another DTH provider who gave the connection within 2 hours of booking. That too they charged money only after finished their work.

                        I hope you will convey to your reprensentative to be more diligent towards the customer.

                            Yes, You are right.

                            I have also experience the same thing . I also do not know any body and get missed calls ISD from unknown number.

                            Also, the mobile rings for one or two time only. When I take my mobile from my pocket to attend but in that short span time ringing stops and we have got a missed call.

                            We really need to raise this issue and bring to public notice so that action can be taken.

                            I request other users to share their experience on the same and help to rectify this problem

                                I had purchased "Airtel Digital TV with HD" online from Airtel website on 8th Jul'11.
                                Customer ID given to me is [protected].
                                More than One week is gone by and No setup box is delivered yet. No technician has turned up for installation. There is absolutly no action from Airtel.

                                Every time I call your customer care, I get a different answer. See the responses below::-

                                "You 'll SURELY get your connection on 12th Jul 2011 before 9 a.m."
                                (((Nobody turned up)))

                                "Please don't do anything except to have patience. We are forwarding you complaint to concerned department through mail."
                                (((My mail id is not kept in loop. I am not even sure if any such mail was shot))))

                                "You 'll SURELY get your connection on 15th Jul 2011 before 9 a.m. Please take technicians mobile-number to further co-ordinate."
                                (((On dialling given number, it says - "Idea service to this number has been Revoked". ))))

                                "Your booking was done on 13th July 2011"
                                (((Better Check the date of online transaction))))

                                "The number you have called i.e. Airtel digital TV Customer Care does not handle such complaints. Please contact us through mail."
                                (((If so, then why this is not been said each time we call Airtel digital TV Customer Care. Sometimes you give information, other times you dont)))))
                                Every time i called up Customer care executive gives a new time of installation but nothing happens.


                                I had great expectations from Airtel but i am sorry to say that if my grievance is not handled on priority, then I will have to move to consumer court.

                                I look forward to a speedy action on my complaint.

                                Ranga ji,

                                On 18th July 2011, I got a call from Airtel saying they won't be able to give me dth and will refund my money.

                                I want to know, when will I get my money back as there is no communication after that call????

                                Rangaji,

                                I have sent the details as required to [protected]@in.airtel.com

                                Please expedite the refund of payment.
                                If any other information required then please call me directly on [protected]

                                15 days are gone. And what we have in hand?? -- All You Trashable Responses and No Action.

                                WHERE IS MY MONEY?? Ranga ji, Do u have any definite answer?

                                If not, then please change your payment system to "cash/chq ON DELIVERY". So that poor customers like me dont get so frustrated!!!

                                So much of my time, resources and energy is getting wasted in this un-ending follow up. And what I get back are some "non sense auto generated junk replies"...

                                Mr. RAKESH RANGA,
                                YOU BETTER REPLY ONLY WITH THE "DATE" ON WHICH I WILL GET MY MONEY BACK.
                                and pls dont delay it on want of some more information from my side as I have already given you enough.

                                    I have a Prepaid mobile connectin of AIRTEL (RAJASTHAN CIRCLE) bearing number [protected]. On 13.07.2011, I had surfed internet only for 12 seconds. As per log of my phone the data sent in last session was 5837 Bytes and Data received in last session was 15607 Bytes, Total 21444 Bytes means 20.94 KB (21444/1024) for which it should be charged Rs.0.60 @ 30 paise for every 20 KB. I got surprise when a reply message received that you had been Charges more than Rs.48.00. Usually it has been charging @ 30 paise per 20 KB. I checked my balance and found that more than Rs.48/- was reduced from my account. In past too, i have charged very high side.

                                    Should the Biggest telecom player like AIRTEL use such practices which result in loss to their customer?

                                      Hi to all,
                                      My customer ID is :[protected]. I want to file a case on Airtel DTH .I have purchased Airtel DTH through internet-banking on airtel official website (www.airtel.in) on 8th july 2011. The company offer was (Payment 1590 Rs with 3 months free subscription with 250 Rs cashback). Therefore i made payment of Rs 1590. After payment the offer is (Payment 1640 Rs with 2 months subscription with 200 cashback). The company forcely deducts 50 Rs from 250 cashback and also reduces one month for free subscription.Please resolve my problme
                                      Hi,

                                      Not only Airtel DTH TV says that they can change prices as and when they want without notifying the consumer, they also change the list of channels available in a package. Recently they removed Star Cricket, Star Sports, ESPN from the Economy package and introduced a new package called Economy Sports.

                                      This was all stealthily done! without notifying the subscriber. Feeling a strong disgust for their such looting practices. How may i file this complaint in a consumer court?

                                      Dont buy Airtel DTH. Their terms and conditions are deceiving and designed to loot you. I havent had experiences with other DTH providers. but this makes a strong case for consumer court.
