I am Ravikiran. I have applied for a new broadband connection on[protected].I have paid almost Rs 1500 for the same. My application number is 261680. I was promised that the connection would be given by[protected].
But to my dismay, I have not got my connection till today. I am supposed to get the connection with in seven days as per the rules of Airtel.
I have contacted the concerned persons repeatedly and I have always got vague reply's or no answer from their side. I am really fed up with their service and these people not even bothered to at least inform me via phone/in person when I will get the connection.

Please let me how I should proceed against these irresponsible service providers.
My Number:[protected]

Never go for Airtel broadband connection....
They are worst service providers......

We have taken corporate Toll free number from them and experiencing worst service from them.....
They have taken huge capital investment from us and monthly we pay 7500 rs as monthly rental to them. Just think about amount we have been paying to them .....
On top of it they disconnected our connection without any intimation with out any reason...and after repeated reminders for past 6 days....they have not activated our number...

I am living in Ahmedabad city, and at my home there is no network at all of Airtel. I have invested Rs 2500 in 3G USB modem and I am not able to connect to network at all. Simultaneously I have purchased a Prepaid SIM and I am not able to make/recieve call on this number due to no network coverage. There is full network coverage of other mobile operators. I have complaint saveral time to Airtel customer care and sent mail 3 time and there was no response from their side except acknowlwdgment mail. I am suffereing from this problem since one month and I am fed up with the support of airtel for thier such a poor service. After complaining through all possible mode, I even couldn't get a single response from their side. I have also complaint to nodal officer but there is no response from that side.

Subject: Airtel Inaction, Ineptness & Irresponsible Behaviour!!!: Service Complaint 1141040

Please find appended below mail I have sent across to airtel aurthority for you to have idea about my problem:
Hi,

I had lodged a request for a change of address to my broadband connection on 5th July 2011. The person told me that the connection would get transferred in 3 working days and later on 9th July someone calls me up and says since the Airtel system was down it will take 20 days to do this transfer rather than the regular period of 3 days for the transfer. When I asked for a date for transfer he had given me a date of 20-22th July, 2011. Also he told me I will not be charged for the period that there is no connection in my house, but will only be charged for the regular 3 days it takes to transfer the connection.

Finally I received a call from someone from Airtel to tell me that the complaint will be acted upon and to give a convenient time. I had told them to come on Monday, 25th July at 10:00 a.m. to my place for the installation. There was no one from your end to act upon the complaint. I gave a call again to the customer care and the person said that the guy will come post 2pm the next day but then however as expected they smartly come to my place at 10am when I am extremely busy with my work for installation. The guy's unruly behaviour with me and my neighbour is not tolerable-- He was supposed to do the wiring from our terrace but forced to use our neighbours and upon their refusal he threatens me that "If i die the entire blame will come upon me (which is me in this case)" Is that the behaviour I should be expecting from Airtel team?

I was told by the guy that someone called Lalit Mishra would come for your activation the next day which was 27th July but that never happened as well the guy gave me wrong coordinates for Lalit..I kept following up with customer care thereafter from 28th July and was given a time frame of 48hrs and it would get activated, the last assurance for the same being on 2nd August 10 am and I assume another set of 48 hours are over and still not been activated.

I again called up your customer care and the guy there is now saying that it will take further 20 days for Airtel to act upon this complaint as in her records it has been registered on 22nd July. And now when I told the guy to transfer the call to her senior, she put me on a hold of 20 mins!!! And then puts me on the call again for 15mins and finally says that the person is not available and gives me contact number of Mr. Abhishek Parmar where he has not been responding ! I cannot keep taking leaves from office just so you can come & install at your leisure, whim & fancy!

And another thing is you keep raising bills when I havent been using your services for almost a month. You have another thing coming, if you think I will pay for services not rendered!!!

You have been utterly irresponsible and inept if you expect me to wait for further 22 days making the period of wait 48 days!!!! I would rather take broadband services from another Service Provider than wait for 48 days!!! It is not as if you are the only one around to provide IP services that you can give such answers to your loyal customers!

I have been using Airtel services for the past 5+ years now. And I expected better services from you!

If you are really going to take 22 more days, I would rather you close this complaint & let me know, so that I can forget this episode & approach Vodafone or Reliance or any Tom, Dick & Harry rather than you who takes 40 days to act on a service request!!!

I would expect some response from you on the same or else I would be forced to pull the matters up to the consumer court.

Look forward to your response.

Kind Regards,
Nisha Jaspal Singh

My number [protected] has been deactivated by airtel.
Airtel should stop harrassing customers by inventing new techniques.
As this number is a premium number I suspect Airtel wish to make few bucks by deactivating and reselling such numbers to new customers.
This number is Lifetime and I am regularly recharging this number.
Last recharge was around 8 days before deactivation.
Now I am told to resubmit the documents to get it activated.
Today on 03/08/2011 I have resubmitted my documents at your outlet.
Following is my alternative number :[protected]
Rather than receiving ready made system generated replies to this email, I expect my number to get reactivated ASAP.

Dear Sir,
My Mob. no. [protected] (Airtel Pre-Paid) the company has activated Hellotune automatically and VAS too, many time I call to customer care to stop the service.... they assure also to deactivate it.....but nothing happen....many time I SMS also for stop the VAS but...company still started cheating... two day back they activated the hello tune without any information... I am suffering from such activity from last 1 year, customer care talk are also chargeable... so we can not call more time to deactivate such nonsence things.
Pls help me......

Thanks & Regards,

Complaint date 3.08.2011 Time 4:25 p.m.
Dear Sir,
I had taken an airtel prepaid mobile connection no. [protected] in my name i.e. Sujit Chowdhury at Raigarh on 11.05.2011 and submitted necessary documents as required. Later on my services got barred twice due to non-verification of address in next two month period. On investigation I found that the connection is released in the name of one Chait Ram. I was surprised and charged the Airtel prepaid dealer how the ownership is changed and asked him to get it rectified. They agreed but again I found on 27.07.2011 that the services to my mobile are blocked. Matter was reported to the concerned dealer and also to the Airtel Sales Officer Mr. Nitin Choubey (mobile no. [protected]) on the same day. They assured that within 2 - 3 days it will be restored. But after a week today i.e. 3.08.2011 the services remain blocked even after regular follow up daily. Please help.

Thanks.

Sujit Chowdhury

Dear sir,

Through this, I Manish Kumar want to draw your attention towards poor service of Airtel. I have taken brodband plan[protected] of 'net' before 4 months of Rs.899 per month. But that plan was not activating properly. So i was decided to cut out the connection. On 21st may,2011, I have filed request to cut the phone & the request no is[protected],1483660,37991941,38050139.But no action was taken place by you. We have again & again filed the request but there is no impact on Airtel. From last 20 days, call from Airtel is coming 3-4 times a days, which creates very disturbance.If the process will continue like this then, I will complaint to police.

Another case is happened with mobile ([protected])also. We have taken the plan 299 in which 12000 second are free, 200 sms is also free. But Airtel itself do not give theabove mentioned plan.Inspite of above plan, it activates another plan, many a times, I filed the request & request no is 35050139 but no action was taken place. I will do the payment only after adjustment will done & actually the plan which i have applied for be activated.


Thanks

Customer ID: [protected]. I have purchased Airtel Digital TV package including "Digital TV recorder + 1year South Megapack + Rs 250 Cashback + free installation" online. The payment made in a single transaction using my creditcard. Now the package validity is showing is for 2 months only. In 'my account' of the Airtel website, the payment is not reflecting as I made it. It is showing many transactions of small amounts. I had spoke to customer service at least 15 times and I did not got a proper answer. Once it was informed by their executive that, the validity extended and I will get a call for confirmation in the same day. But Never got the call and problem not resolved. Another time it was told that the validity now showing, is for the free viewing time and I have to recharge only after 14 months. But I had asked for a confirmation by e-mail, I never got it. I need only 12 month validity and Rs 250 cash back.

Yesterday and today Rs 4 (each day Rs2 ) deducted from my pre paid Account towards SMS and call making charges. for your info i have not contracted anybody and also not sent sms but the above amount deducted from my account .

Kindly check my account and rectify the error immediatly and reverse the amount deducted.
