Dear Sirs,

I have a DSL connection from AirTel. Since JAN 9th my connection was not working properly. I have called more than 10 times to the customer care about the probelm and finnaly i get it fixed the line. But they have billed the rental for the days the connection was not working. I try to explain to then to get a discount, but they are not friendly to talk with customers. Also I tried to close my account, but they are not taken it. They keep said that tehy will try to do their best service. Finally on FEB 8th i'm able to get them to close the connection and now they are charging for the 10 days on pro data basis.

I strongly request all, please be careful with airtel.

If you want to cancel the connection, please get the Service request # handy to avoind hidden charges, Their customer care employee's are trained to entertain the cunstomers to keep the connection.

Please do not accept if you have final decision.

Thanks

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.....

I received an SMS from Airtel (AD-54321) on 8/2/2011 saying that I have renewed for subnobad subscription service and I have been charged Rs.15/-.I called up the helpline and informed them I never used this service and thus have never even renewed it. I asked to cancel the service and return the deducted balance.They informed the service activation has been done by me itself which actually I have never done and also the deducted amount cannot be returned.Request you to please help me.
My request reference number is CBDAL[protected].

Hi Sir,

This mail is regarding the continuous issue's i am facing with Airtel Services. On 28th Jan 2011 i received a call from Airtel that there was tremendous rise in my calling facility and they told me that your unbilled amount is Rs 9000 plus. They asked me that is there any reason for such call's. I simply told them that i am not using this calling facility since past more than 1 yr. After that i logged a complaint regarding the same on Airtel and its reference id was[protected] and i talked to Mr. Bharat Rathore on same. Mr. Bharat Rathore told me that once my next month bill will be generated(Due- 23 Feb-2011) this problem will be resolved and i don't have to take worry regarding the same. This was fine until i am getting services from Airtel, on 2nd Feb2011 my DSL and calling services was made inactive from Airtel Side.

After that i again called on Airtel that my services are not working and the representative(Reference Id[protected] told me that there was unbilled amount of more than Rs 9000 therefore we made this service inactive from there end. I told him that this fault is not from my end there was some issue from Airtel side and after some discussion and continuous call(Reference ID[protected] my service were again made active on 3rd Feb2011.

Now today i again received a call from Airtel that my unbilled amount is more than Rs.9000 that is why my services are going to be inactive, then again i called to customer care and raised my concerns but in-spite of helping me that they are laughing on my concerns at their desk and the girl to whom i called she laughed(which was not professional at all) and told me that she cant handle this and is going to forward my call to senior representative. In past 3 calls for which i have mentioned the reference id, they gave me two numbers[protected] and[protected] and told me to call at this number they are going to help me out.

I called on this number and it get received after calling it for more than 5 times. There i talked to Mr. Prashant and told him my concerns. He told me that from my side there were two calls on premium number 1752 and he told me that once i will pay all unbilled amount he will deactivate this number. I told him that i haven't used my land line since past more than 1 yr and i don't know how i have these much unbilled amount and i am not going to pay a single penny o[censored]nbilled amount which i haven't used. He asked me to again call customer care as he cant help me more than that.

I again called Customer care and told them the same, that i called on those two numbers and they are not able to help me out and asked me to call at customer care. everyone is throwing ball in each other court. Customer care asking to call on those two numbers, there they are asking me to call on Customer care

So after this pathetic experience with Airtel i am dropping you this email and mentioning all the reference id so that it might help to sort out my issue. My services are made inactive because of the unbilled amount i haven't used and the experience with the Customer care was also very bad, the way they dealt with my issue.

Reference Id -

[protected]Bharat Rathore)
[protected]
[protected]
[protected]Miss Harsha)
[protected]Miss Shweta Rai)

The only amount i used to pay is Rs.881 - DSL Usage only(799 unlimited plan + service tax). Please look into this issue so that i can get services uninterruptedly.

Hoping to get my issue resolved as soon as possible

Thanks

I have two post paid CUG connections with Airtel. (CUG plans but I pay the bills myself).I have been facing network issues for more than 6 months now. I have regularly month on month called the customer care(121 & 198) for the same for which I have been getting answers like it will be handled in 2 days or a week. Once I was even told that a person had been to my office area for survey and it was found that there was network issue for the whole area and so Airtel is planning to resolve the issue by putting up some booster on the tower. Which I think has not been done till date.I face network issues not only in offiece area but also at my residence.
So at last I got fed up (similarly many others in my company) with Airtel and decided to quit. We have got a corporate deal now from Vodafone as well.After the MNP was launched I decided to switch over to Vodafone.I completed the formalities with them and also got the portal ID. But later I was informed that my request was rejected by Airtel.When I contacted 198 for the reason I was informed that I was holding a CUG number so I cannot go for MNP.This means that Airtel will not provide any network to the numbers in the areas mentioned above. If the customer is complaining he will be given false assurances. And when we decide to take help from the MNP facility we are not relived by AIRTEL under false claims. I enquired many other SP like Idea, Vodafone, Aircel and it is only AIRTEL that is claiming that CUG numbers cannot be ported.I would really like to know why Airtel is trying to harass customers without providing any better service.
Really i would suggest anyone who is working in Chennai MWC area and stay at Tambaram are avoid using Airtel..it is the worst service in the area...
Can anyone also let me know who is the ombudsman for Telecom Service issues?

i made compliant before 1year abt tower problem in my area..But from ur side not give any solution...ur network is unfit .. then how can u say it's 1st.......

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am using Airtel Mobile Phone Services for the last 5-6 Years. During the past 3 Years, I am not getting the signal in my work place. I have made number of complaints to Airtel thru'customer care centre but no result.

Recently ( on 25th Jan 2011), I have opted for MNP (Mobile Number Portability) and wanted to switch over to Vodafone service provider. Immediately, there were number of calls from Airtel - promising me that my problem will be solved soon. But, I sticked to my decision to switch over and made it clear.

In spite of that, they have rejected my request for MNP stating some CUG plane and heririchal obligations. So many time I talked with Vodafone and Airtel customer care to know exact status of my request but they all are confusing me and bleming to each other. I am mentally upset and I feel that I am being harrased by this Service Provider.

Request you to help me in this.
Thanks / Regards,
