Hi, my mobile no. is [protected] from chhattisgarh airtel. my problem is everyday some amount i.e. Rs 0.30 ,Rs.10 or Rs.30 is deducted from my balance without permission for some or other activation such as cricket alert,gprs etc

Sir,
I am feeling very sorry to inform that the service from airtel customer care Jharkhand is pathetic. People does not know how to talk. I was using airtel service at Karnataka for 5 long year. now i am staying at Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand. I was willing to continue the service but for any assistance from customer care i feel to throw my phone. Recently i gave a call from my ex number [protected] to Jharkhand customer care for assistance regarding GPRS service, the person i was got connected to is Mr. Ajay and Mr. Suresh. If really the phone conversation was recorded then my request is to check it and take a good decission to make an effort to improve the service. please keep some good criteria to select people for the service. Otherwise airtel will never become a good service in this part of the India. As a Indian it was my responsibility to inform about this, therefore i have done that, now its up to you to take necessary steps regarding this. Unless you try nobody can help. I dont know whether any one from higher authority check any of these 25568 mails/ complaint posted on internet.
Jai Hind

I have taken a Black Berry Plan- 399 on Airtel Prepaid. The plan states Unlimited BBM and Unlimited Data.
When ever I on the data service even after the plan being active my balance get reduced on its own. I went to the Airtel galary they asked me to switch to 2g on my handset so I did as mention still my balance get cut for nothing. I called the customer care and they had no clue of it. The customer care rep asked me to speak to Black Berry Customer care. When i spoke to the Black berry Customer care with is 7070 they say its a billing issue so please speak to billing department. No one is resolving my issue. I am totally fed up with airtel. All the customer service rep just keep tossing me around with out any discussion.

Airtel DTH Cust Id : [protected]

I Have applied for Airtel DTH relocation service as i wa moving from Mumbai to Bangalore.

10th April 2011 : Called the Airtel DTH customer support in Mumbai and requested them to Uninstall my DTH and Install it in my New address at Bnagalore. requested to do the uninstallation before 15th as my Movers will move the good on 15th. ( Sevice request ID : 6803059 ). 18th April was fixed as the reinstallation date in bangalore.

11th - 13th : No calls from Airtel DTH on uninstallation so, i called them and asked for appointment to un install the Dish, the customer service agent assured that it will be done before 15th, so that i can carry the dish with me to Banaglore and get it re installed in Bangalore.

15th April 2011 : No uodates from Airtel, I got the dish un installed with t he help of the packers & Movers as i have ship the Dish to bangalore

18th April 2011 : Called the Airtel DTH customer support in banaglore and asked for confirmation on re installation time. The support executive mentioned that i have to log a seperate service request for this and she can send some one the next day to get it re installed. I agreed and the new SR created ( SR Number : 7088793). appointment was fixed for 20th evening 4-5 PM.

20th April 2011 : No one showed up at my residence to re install the dish , so i had to wait at the home cancelling all my plans of going out for dinner, another sad day becaues of Airtel's ir responsible behaviour.
Called the Airtel DTH support again and mentioned that no body called or visited my house to do the re installation. The suport lady escalated my called to the Escalation Department ( The worst bunch of the DTH team ). A guys identified him self as the supervisor has put meon hold for more than 20 mins and confirmed that the re installation will be done the next day ( 21st between 9 - 10 am).

21st April 2011 : Waited at home till 10:30 am and no body showed up for re installtion, called Airtel DTH support team and a support executive has apologies sever time for the in convenience caused and assured that the service engineer will call me in 10 mins. No calls till evening !!!! called the support again and got escalted to the escalation department, here comes the best escalation manager of airtel DTH, she asked me to be on hold and not to disconnect and vanished for 40 min, i was on hold for 40 Mins...yes 40 Mins, i guess that will be the higest of the hold time in any call center. i called the customer support from my mobile and asked the support guy on what should i do with the call on Hold, showld i continue, he as usual apologized and asked me to disconnect that call and mention that he will take care of the issue. He said that appointment for the reinstallation was schedule for 24th 4:30 pm. One more schedule, and lot of apologies......

24th April 2011 : No calls or SMS from the service engineer to come and re install, so i called the support again and asked for the details, an arogant support guy said i have to wait till 4:30 and the engineer will show up ( miraculously ) i asked to put me through any senior guy so that i can talk and get assurance...on hold for sometime and got disconnected...fantastic....waited at home till 4:30 pm nobody showed up and i have called the support team again, a very polite gentleman from teh support aplogised several time for thein convenience caused and promised he wil take personal care and get this resolved and promised that there will be call from the service team within 2 hours. 6:30 pm - No calls , so a s usual i have called support and same story of appointment for anothe rdat etc.... as usual i asked for escalation and as usual i was on hold and the call gets disconnected for no reason...

So what shoud i do now........ This as caused me lot of stress and time and i'm pushed to the space where i started feeling that Airtel DTH is being run by bunch of incompetent peaople who acnnot even get a dish re installed for their customer.

Common issue with Airtel support :

Even afterpressing 1 for call in English, we land up with some Hindhi speaking lady / men.

You ask them to cmmunicate in English, with no excuse, the call will get disconnected abruptly.

Luckily you get through support guys, 50 % of them dont know what is happening with the case.

After explaining them the history, simply aplogy and they ask us to understand the issue ( How logical !!! ) and promise on the issue tp be solved next working day

Finally the ultimate Comedy,the ESCALATION department, who puts you on hold for more than 40 mins and still wont respond to you.

Top of all , I guess the engineers ( the guy who installs the dish ) in Airtel are in more demand then any Rocket scientist, because you can never have them in your home completing their Job...

Is AIRTEL DTH interested to solve my issue and take the relationship forward ????

Is there any high priority email adress that i can write my complaints to ???

Sir,
I am a customer of Airtel using Post Paid Mobile No. [protected] since 2006. Earlier I have making Bill payments mostly through Cash at Rantime Electronic, Shop No. 5, Bapu Dham, San Martin Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi-21 or through Cheque dropped at Airtel Drop Box located at Nayar Communication, Nanakpura, South Motibagh Market, New Delhi-21. Since last year the facility of cash payment at Rantime Electronic was withdrawn by Airtel. Since then I have been making payments through cheques through drop box /ipay machines located at Nayar Communication, Nanakpura, South Motibagh, New Delhi. However, this year Cheques dropped through Drop Box and latest paid through i-pay machine have not reached its destination. I wrote to Airtel but was of no use. I am thinking of converting it to Pre-paid or switch over to anfother Company. Is it possible.

I am using Airtel HD DTH and customer number is [protected]

New HD channels and Tamil channels are not able to add. I first registered the request on 16th March and got the feed back from customer care that my dish direction needs to be changed.

Till now the direction was not changed and I am not able to add the HD(discovery HD and movies now HD) and few Tamil channels ( Captain TV etc)

I registered the request more than 20 times and getting erratic feed back from customer care.

No one came to my house to change the dish direction.

It is very poor response from Airtel DTH customer care, most of the time i am getting blank calls from customer care.

No reply to the mail

I am in no choice to go for other DTH

I have booked Airtel Dish TV connection on 21.04.2011 by paying Rs.3590/- at Hyderabad with Receipt No 26008 for installation at Nellore. The connection was booked after Ms Mumtaz of their Call Centre advised to pay at Hyderabad. Installation was promised next day itself, but till date it has not been done. I contacted their call centre many times and they listen to everything and disconnect the call. Ms Mumtaz never comes on line, even when...

I have been charged unwanted packages from Airtel, which i have never subscribed, every now and then airtel charges for some or the other things and deduct the balance from my postpaid account. This practice from airtel is been done from 6 to 8 months, we cannot keep an account of single paisa what we recharge. it is their responsibility to safe guard our money.
I need airtel to please look in to this matter at an earliest. If not then there is a service called as mobile portability, which needs to be acting for lot of airtel customers

contact me on [protected]@wasanc.com

Hello,
I never seen such cheating from airtel. Yesterday (23rd Apr 2011) on 8.37pm when I was on online using my mobile network (moblie No:[protected]), suddenly airtel radio service activated massage appears and Rs.20/- is deducated from my account.
Suddenly I surprice that I cannot enter or contact any services how it activate. I tried to contact to customer care using numbers 121 & 198 but they never receive the call. Later I contact (contact number 635) using my demo service sim via (M:[protected]) to airtel representative they said that you yourself activated the service. (answered ticket nos: 75820650, 75821097, 75821246,75822057,[protected] ” How worst saying like this?"
I say if you have to make money please leave your wife, mother & siters to prostitution give to customers to enjoy and earn money. Don't do like this.
Really If I activated this service myself come and [censored] my wife & sisters.
Your representatvie make me cheating more than three times like this activating tirupati live service, astrology pack & now airtel radio pack.

We are not having any connection with the said person but airtel is misusing my personal call details and metally doing torcher of my family and friends.
This is a mal practice and against all law using any personal details of my mobile no without my permission
Action required on very urgent basis and i claim Rs 10 Lacs from airtel for this misconduct and indiscipline of airtel employees

Booked one Airtel HD DTH from Msr Shri Krishna Electronics, Chandigarh Road Nawanshahr, an exclusive LG showroom on 9th April 2011 promised to install on 10/4.
Installed an airtel HD set top box with a Dish tv antenna on 11/4 and got the payment. I found the stb and remote scratched and when i asked the company owner he made a lot of lies to convince us. Not convinced as the stb was not regitered in my wife Dr Seema gupta's name even after 10 days, i enquired from the Airtel customer care and was surprised to know that the set top box was already registered with the company on 5/10/2010. when i told about the same to the shopkeeper and requested him to install a new stb as well as airtel antenna, he changed the antenna but refused to change the stb and instead kept the old box with him. He misbehaved, abused and threatened me and also didnot return the money paid by me. Know i have an airtel antenna installed at my home without the set top box for the full payment of Rs 2500. He has not only cheated me but also the LG company by dealing in airtel DTH despite being an exclusive showroom of LG. I have also been forced to change my decision of buying the LG products in future just due to misbehave and cheating of this dealer of LG thereby causing the LG company also the loss.
