To the Senior Manager/Director of Airtel Service Provider

Dear Sir/Madam,

With regards to the Airtel Customer Service contact no# 121 from any airtel mobile is applicable to all your airtel using customers. But unfortunately, I am one of the airtel prepaid subscriber from past one month i am unable to connect to your airtel customercare number. This is very disappointing for one of your subscribers. Since airtel being a good customer service provider this has become a major drawback in your service. So I would like to register a complaint for this and request to take strict action against this for not providing proper service to customer. Even after visiting your airtel branches in different areas of Bangalore, no proper response given. So please check and revert with feedback for the same at the earliest.

Dear Sir,
I am Jitendra Singh From Orissa using the airtel mobile Number [protected] since last 4years and I want to port out my airtel no. but whenever i am sending sms (PORT [protected] TO 1900) for generating UPC ( unique porting code ) they are not providing me the UPC code & everytime Re1.00 is deducted from my main balance ,In this way i lost all of my balance up to Rs100.00. for this messages. After that many...

hi,
i am a user of airtel internet connection. my connection was debarred from airtel for 2 months and they are asking me to pay for that two months,which they didn't provided me services. i did complain them many times for that but they always had the same answer,"maim, that is your mistake."
my airtel account number is 15644335. they are not having any kind of my complaining data and they have wrong data related to my internet.they are misleading me to provide informations.

Dear's

I am holder of DTH connection with customer ID [protected], I had purchased this Airtel DTH connection in Dec' 2008 for which I had tried to get it activated and had run every piller to post, The package come with three month free subscribtion which I was not able to utilize as customer care service engineer could not able to help me to get the connection activated. I had even Launched a complaint and service engineer did visit at my residence but could not able to start the service. I have the activation voucher and the Customer relationship form to supoort.
I did approched Airtel to get DTH re- activated in July'10, I have 15
e-mails and Phone calls to nodel officer to support my complaint..
Still after three years I am still trying to get the connection re-activated for which I have been informed by the customer care that Customer ID [protected] has expired and I have to purchase a new DTH connection along with the BOX. this is impossible to digest, if I have the BOX and the Dish we only need to activate the SIM card for the re-activation. I have visited even your Dealer for which I got the same response.

why do I need to Purchase a new connection i.e. Dish & the setup Box which I already have with me. Your records still have my customer ID and I can't it understand why it cannot be re-activated.

I just want to make a point if I would have provided better service earlier I would have not reached this position.

Hope to get your response,

Regards

Hi Airtel customer care,
1) I got an SMS from AD-54321 saying "Thanks for downloading java game, and you are charged 30/-", and then onwards I'm getting SMS also with cricket updates.
What I wonder is, I never sent any sms or link to activate this service. THese sms are charged also.

Please deactivate this at the earliest.

2) I got one more SMS saying "Thanks for downloading hangama gclub.., and you are charged 99/-". I do know what this is and why this has got activated for me. Also there was nothing related got downloaded to my mobile either.

Please resolve this problem.

Thanks

Airtel is deducting Rs.2 daily in the name of Picture MMS alerts. They are sending very offensive pictures daily to my inbox. When we contacted customer care they are saying we have subscribed for this service which we haven't. Thrice we gave request to stop this and still they are deducting the Rs 2. Please stop this asap.

Hello All!

Airtel Sucks!

I am a totally frustrated customer of Airtel [Mobile Service Provider Company].
This is the second time I am lodging complaints against Airtel just after 3 weeks when I lodged the first complaint against Airtel.
Instead of rectifying their Unfair Trade practices, Airtel [India] keep on continuing their UNFAIR/CHEATING/FRAUDULENT/HARRASSING trade practices toward its customers.

1. Airtel keep on sending me 20-30 SMS everyday for the boring Cricket World Cup thus disturbing me all the time & wasting my time to delete all those trash SMS and keep on charging me for it everyday and this they are doing without prior information or permission from me [user] to do so, a clear violation o[censored]ser's privacy & choice of service.

2. On 12 March 2011, my Airtel balance of Rs.96 suddenly disappeared and I contacted the Airtel Customer Care but they cannot explain how the amount was deducted from my balance without any reason and without any prior information.

3. On 13 March 2011, I recharged with Rs.100 and contacted the Airtel Customer Care to allow me use the 3GB internet offer for Rs.60, yes, they deducted the amount instantly but I could not use the offer, than, a few minutes later I could connect to internet for about 5 minutes then to my surprise again my balance gone down to zero! How, they deducted the amount & why, no reason, no information :(

I contacted the Airtel Customer Care but no corrective steps are taken up and no explanations given and at the same time they keep on stealing whatever balance I have on the mobile. So, it is now clearly confirmed that Airtel is run by a bunch of thieves who steal/cheat user's hard earned money with false offers or abusive trade practices.

From these above three incidents, by now, it is beyond my tolerance about the nonsense Airtel keep on doing to me [user].
Having lodging these complaint to the concerned internet forums, I have no other choice but stop using Airtel mobile services from now onwards.

Sincerely Yours,
Mr.naorem Gajendra Singh

I am using Airtel connection from last 1.5 year, and it was really good services from Aitel. My family and all my friend circle are also using Airtel. But last 3 months i have marked one thing that my balance is countiousnly deducting in the name such scheme (package) which i dont wanted such as Hello tune, Cricket pack, Airtel Radio, news update etc. whenever i contected to executive regarding this i was not satisfied with them. and finally they cut the phone. whenever i rechage, there is minus bal showing in my accout. i am very scared about this.

This is not only my problem like this, all my relative and frieds circle are aslo suffering from this type o[censored]seless scheme and account deductiion matters.

So finally i have decided to discountinue Airtel connection by portability and would join with Vodafone services. and i will convey this also to my friend circle and relative to discontinue Airtel by portability and join with Vodafone service.

Dear Appellate Officer,
Bharti Airtel Limited,

Get latest games at http://gclub.in/.ea" my concern is who asked to download, (If i have downloaded where is that loaded content) why airtel is looting the customer this way i tried immediately customer care after receiving this mail but not able to reach them then why there is 24/7 customer care is it only for the name sake. The customer care response was unsatisfactory when I contacted them today. . I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE WAY YOU GUYS HAVE STARTED FOOLING YOUR CUSTOMERS U GUYS SHOULD PULL UP YOUR SOCKS, THERE R WAY TOO MANY SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO ARE VYING FOR OUR ATTENTION. AND IF YOU CONTINUE WITH YOUR UNSATISFACTORY SERVICE VERY SOON YOU WILL LOSE A CHUNK OF YOUR CUSTOMERS. i don't want your satisfactory reply i need my balance
Kindly take measure to repay the amount IMMEDIATELY

Subject: Looting the customers

Hi

I am a consumer of Airtel prepaid mobile service (mobile no. [protected]).
Airtel is deducting balance of my mobile without my knowledge. I complained
about this on customer care services and refund of my money (complaint code
CMOUC[protected] ) .they insisted me of action but still I do not got my money
.And even still with out calling I¿m deducted 30ps every 2min even now.

And i also recharged for Rs.34 on 27th Jan 2011 for Mobileoffice usage but the
balance is not credited and also if I use the internet the amount is directly
deducted from my main balance

Why is Airtel looting customers without their knowledge? Hoping for action.

- I recently got an Airtel no. and when wanted to divert my calls to a landline no. i got a message "not allowed".
- Upon calling the Customer Care no. I was informed I can only divert my calls to mobile phone numbers. -- However, they are providing false informationon their website to attract customers. On their website they have published that the calls can be diverted to mobile numbers and as well as landline numbers but in relaity they do not provide call diverts to landline numbers.

Here is the link to their website stating diverts possible to landline numbers:

Ost October 2010, my subscription for the Airtel Digital TV [protected] expired and due to poor service/ poor picture quality, i decided not to renew the subscription. From that onwards, I am getting 4 phone calls + 4 SMS pleading for renewal and I have categorically mentioned about my disinterest in the Airtel DTH. During Feb 2011, I lodged a complaint in this forum for closing the account and after that the nuisance from Airtel increased as one poor fellow pleaded that set up box needs to be taken back and wanted my appointment. Since then ask me to wait in the home and do not turn up and the fun was going on. For the last one month, the number of calls increased and absolutely disgusted with the behaviour of a corporate company who is not taking back the set up box and creating nuisance to a customer. Now I am consulting my lawyer about the next steps as they made me wait in the home for the last three weeks and did not turn up for set up box recovery. Does it take more than 5 months to take the set up box back? Originally, when I moved to Airtel the local cable wala was far more gentle than Airtel.

R/Sir/Madam,
I am the consumer of AIRTEL company of prepaid mobile number [protected].On 10 th of Feb 2011 I used the Aitel Servises to check my HDFC BANK BALANCE through N-gpay for 4 minutes,after that I had not got any balance service massage.Around 10 am when I started dailling a call then I found that I had no balance,my Rs 292 has deducted.Then I called the coustmer care and they provide me request refrence no CBDCC[protected] with maximum time limit till 14 th 2011.When I called on 14 th Feb,then coustmer care told me that system is not working,I again called but I got the same exuse every time.Then on 18 th Feb 2011 I again called and coustmer care provided me request no CBDOV[protected].I again called for the resolution and provided with refrence no CBDAL[protected] on 28 th 2011.In between my coustmer care services are barred.During this all time I have not got any call from AIRTEL company.
Then I applied for mobile portbility on 4 th March 2011,and got 1st call from AIRTEL company and told to solve the problem very soon but still I have not got any call.
