Hi,
On 22nd of Jan, I went to one airtel store (teynampet, Chennai) to get new postpaid connection for my vodafone number.
I submitted all required document and paid Rs 350/-
I have following concerns:
1) Till now, I didn't get airtel connection. For last two days, I am trying to get some update. Several times I called them, but they are not at all giving me any update.. It seems, noone knows, what is happening. They are keep on giving me each others number to get the update, but no-one is replying properly.
I want to know, is there anything missing from my side, let me know. I am really got frustrated.
2) I paid 350/- but now I got confusion, why did they took 350/- instead of 19/- which is the porting charge.
Do the rest 331/- is for new postpaid connection?
In my office, airtel is providing the postpaid connection without any activation or any other charge.
For the same connection, I paid 331/-.
Can you please guide me what is this charge? Is it refundable?
Can you please help me to understand what is happening or how much time will it take. They said, it takes 7 days, but still I am waiting.....

Complaint marked as Resolved
I also faced (and still facing) similar experience with Airtel. They rejected my MNP request for 'Legal Reasons'. I have mentioned my experience in the following post of mine:
http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/airtel-c518021.html
By the way, just try to google with these key words: airtel mnp rejected
The entire first and second pages (20 results flat) are entirely filled with Airtel's MNP rejection cases.
This tells you why and how Airtel showed an impressive result of least customers moving out in the first release of MNP statistics, thereby showing a flamboyant face to other people/customers/media.
BSNL which is the most transparent service provider in the market topped the list with maximum customer churn-out because they were not as 'brainy' as others (to deny or delay port-out requests) and probably would have agreed to all port-out requests (without harassing the customer) that they received.
Going by the statistics, people/customers/media think that the majority of Airtel customers are so happy and hence do not wish to leave Airtel.
Great management technique by Airtel...
