Hello.

This post is another step to ensure that consumers are not deprived of what they are promised and hence in persuasion of "consumerism" as our Economic ideology.

A copy of the same will therefore be sent to government authorities and concerned associations.

This is not a complaint as a complaint by nature is an issue addressed with the intention to resolve. However, since I've switched to vodafone now, I don't intend to get these resolved for myself. Nevertheless, am writing this mail pro bono publico with the sole intention to bring it to your notice the quality of service that customers are being provided with and harassment that they have to undergo to get their issues resolved.

Accordingly, the set of issues in light of circumstantial facts are being reiterated below:

1. Poor Network Quality

I reside in an apartment in Thaverekere main road, bangalore and while I was in the lift, I lost access to network and my phone was always on "search mode".
Also inside my office premises, the network strength used to be very poor and hence call quality was below reasonable and acceptable standards. I had complained of this at various occasions to the customer care executive both over phone and in person at Relationship centre, Koramangala but in vein.

2. Short Messaging System (SMS)

On an average basis, I send around 60 texts a day to local as well as National inter network/intra network numbers. On more than 30 times a day, SMS sending failed, thus out of the 60 texts that I sent, I had to re send 30-35 texts twice or thrice. For each of these texts, my phone returned a response that said, "Sending failed, network out of order". This certainly indicates a flaw in packet radio connectivity and on repeated complaints, the company refuses to respond to it and resolve the same.

3. Value Added Services and Tele-Marketing

I had opted for DND (Do Not Disturb) registration in my application form despite which, in gross neglect of that choice, I continued to receive about 5-6 promotional offers through text messages and phone calls each day. I had to register myself yet again on the DND list via the government portal of India.
As for the VAS, subsequent to my registration on DND, though I did not receive any promotional text messages or calls, some "promotional and Value added packs" were activated on my number and in pursuance thereof, a certain amount of balance got deducted from my prepaid account. I had to file several complaints and request customer care executives to credit the deducted balance to my account and to de activate such value added packs. Though the latter part was resolved in as much as my value added services were de activated, the company failed to credit that balance to my account.

4. Customer care

While it is mandatory vide the TRAI rules and DoT directions to provide to the customer/subscriber with the option of instant 24*7 customer care connectivity option, the company has defaulted in doing so because as a subscriber/customer I could not connect to the customer care three out of the five times I called the helpline number. It should not be disputed that poor connectivity to the help line number tentamounts to failure on part of the company to comply with the aforementioned rules. In addition, I was charged for calls to 121 that were not even attended by a customer care representative.
Also, at occasions on which I spoke to the customer care representative/executive, they seemed to be incompetent, less informed and failed to resolve petty issues (not listed herein) that I had. They did not even know of recharge denominations and seemed to have a standard response of "Your issue is escalated..it should be resolved soon".

5. Activation of BlackBerry Internet Services (BIS)

This was the major highlight of all issues that I experienced with Airtel. On 17th of November, 2010 when my number was activated, I tried to activate BIS immediately thereafter. However, I was told by the operator representative that I can not activate the same before the elapse of 24 hours post activation of a new number. Subsequent to a patient wait, when after 32 hours of my activation, I tried activating BIS, I got a text message response that said, "New customers please wait for 24 hours". To my disappointment, I had to wait for another 24 hours for activation but despite the wait, the operator still refused to activate my services. Thereafter, to resolve the issue, I spoke to a representative at the Relationship centre, Koramangala and was told that, "it will take 5 days for activation of BIS on new numbers". This was quite clearly different from what the company website stated. Since I was in urgent need of BIS to access my official mails while being out of office, I had opted for Airtel BIS on the sole basis of the information provided by the website: that on new numbers BIS will be active only after 24 hours. Nowhere otherwise is it provided that BIS cannot be activated before 5 days. This highlights the discrepancy within the company's internal domain and is unacceptable.
However, after I had the privilege of BIS, I continued to use it for two months when on the due date of rental for the fourth month, the service was deactivated due to insufficient funds in my prepaid account. In order to re-activate the service, I recharged my account the next day to ensure that I have more than required balance fund for BIS. To my utter shock and disappointment, Airtel failed to activate the same despite the required balance.
Thus, there was an issue that warranted immediate attention by the service provider. However, to bring it to the notice of service provider, I had to call the customer care number (7070 - BBerry customer care) to which I could not connect. I tried calling the standard customer care line on 121, but they did not have any "idea of BlackBerry services". When after several trials, I connected to BlackBerry customer care from my phone, a representative told me that the issue was "escalated to the pre paid department" and will take time. On asking how much time should it take to resolve the issue, I was told 24 hours, though the representative made it clear that he could not "commit anything"! Yet again, I was left with no other option but to visit the relationship centre at Koramangala, where I was told the same thing. I waited for two days thereafter before switching to another operator.


The above issues clearly makes it evident that Quality of Service is poor. It is one thing to have issues with the service provider, but to not have a solution to it is an escalation thereof.

I hope that by this mail, voices of large number of subscribers would be heard and the company takes initiative to cure the disease that would soon lead to its downfall because in Indian Economy where consumerism is the ideology, brand loyalty would not negate poor service for long.

    Now Whom should i say about this.I have said hundreds of time for my closing of sim [protected], but no attention is given. As airtel is running on our money, if i wish i can ask everyperson in our society to close thier airtel sims but no i am giving last chance. Though i am Ex.M.L.A , but i don,t wish to make violence.

    If you want to contact me my current number is [protected]
    I called up customer regarding deduction in my balance they told me its bcoz of the NOP(net on phone) service activated on my phone.I told them I haven't activated the service as my customer care service was not working from the last 10 days.I had opted for night package and that service was not activated instead of that my nop service was activated. I told the agent on the customer care to deactivate the service he took my request (as he said on the phone). But the next two days the service was activated without my notice and then i received a message which states that I am being charged for the service. I called up customer care again and mention to them the incident they told me that the service will be deactivated within 6 hours and I'll get my refund back within 48 hrs. I haven't got my refund yet and whenever I call customer care they just say "sorry. We cant refund your money back" and keep down the phone. And then you will come to know that your customer care service is blocked for calling number of times to customer care.

    Airtel Mobile — Poor service and no attention to complaints

    I own an Airtel connection 9xxxx85158 since last many months. This connection was taken with a SI to debit my credit card. IN MArch I was contacted for non payment of bill which I informed the caller of the connection being on SI.

    Next month I noticed my bill carry a late fee and was surprised at a SI payment which Airtel has to execute being charged on late fee. Given that they had a Standing Instruction to charge my card I realised they have been wrongfully charging my card for last fees since 2008.

    This continued till this month and Airtel has charged more than Rs.600 in late fees and have not addressed any complaint made by me starting in April for which I do not have the number but many others in MAy and june after which I started recording my complaint nos.
    [protected] dated 25/6,[protected] dated 11/7,[protected] dated 31/7 and[protected] dated 31/7 and[protected] dated 18/8. Instead of resolving the compain they have closed all complaints given by me and barred outgoing calls on the number.

    This is highhandedness by the company, wrongfully charging me more than due to them, Not resolving complaints and causing inconvinience by Barring outgoing calls. I am seekinh damages and compensation from the company for mental trauma and incovenience with poor service and wrongful chrging me excess amounts. I needs guidance omn how to approcah consumer counrt for redressal.

          AirTel — unnecessary cutting of balance

          this is ravi facing unnecessary deduction from my mobile balance. since march 16, I have been receiving the message "Thanks for using Bolly subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs.10" , "Thanks for using cricket subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs. 10" as such , almost daily reducing my balance. I also called to the number 121 to put forward my complaints. the reply came from them positively that they would unsubscribe whatever the thing may be. Had been happy for a day. then again I started receiving the same messages. I also dialled *321*451# and asked to unsubscribe. I got a reply conveying that the package would be unsubscribed . But it wasnt.

          Again I received a message yesterday saying,"Thanks for downloading musicfrom Airtel . You have been charged Rs.30" and another Rs.10 for cricket subscription.especially I receive the messages only between 4 - 5 at morn.It makes me nervous at the very morn. this is really unfair.

          I surely assure that I have never ever asked for any such subscriptions. But the thing is getting out of control. I have nearly lost Rs.90 from my balance without any reason neither it proves to be of any use to me. Also the help lines are barred since two days.

          I want an immediate action from the other side for you are losing my trust. Or else i have no other go . I will have to discard my name from your customers list. Hope i would receive a good reply.

          my mobile no is [protected]

          do reply before i lose any more from my balance . that would leave you on a safer place.

                Dear Whomsoever it may concern

                Your Sr Sales Officer (Akash Chauhan, Interface office, Malad (W), Mumbai; Ph:[protected] had filled my Subscriber Enrollment Form (No. 261040) and committed that the Airtel Broadband connection will be activated by 25th Jan evening. He has even collected 1800 Ruppes cash which he has acknoledged on top of the form with signature.

                Whe we followed up with him in the afternoon today, he informed us that as per his records our connection is already activated !!! This is appalling !!! Now, his mobile is switched off and we have nowhere to go. Your customer care will only respond by 29th Jan afternoon which is not acceptable to me. Please return my money by 12 noon tomorrow. Else, i will be forced to take legal action against Airtel since I have all the written documentation with me to prove. And I have already consulted my elder brother who is a lawyer.

                Please do not ignore this e-mail as a threat. It is a genuine customer complaint and I would expect Airtel to jump to this.

                In any case, you've lost 2 customers today.

                Regards

                Saurabh Sengupta

                AirTel — Broadband connection installation

                It's been 8 working days now that my broadband connection is not in place. The sales executive has been telling me "I would be done tomorrow" since the day I applied. The Airtel Customer Care tells me toda that "I would be done tomorrow evening" and the Sales Manager says "Tomorrow Morning". A day of mine got wasted because of the sales executive, he told me to wait for 10 mins and then did not turn up that day, neither did he take any of my calls. It's a frustrating experience. There time lines are 5 working days but not it's the 8th. No point talking to anyone in the organization.

                    Dear sir,
                    I am using two airtel nos. [protected] and [protected] which are having call drop problem for more than six months. I am not able to take up call comfortably from my office as well as home. in this regard a complaint was lodged on 11.08.2010, Airtel agrees that there is a problem but are not able to resolve it till date. when I applied for MNP I was flooded with calls assuring me that this issue will be resolved in one days time( which is is either impossible or else they have not cared about my complaint lodged in Aug).
                    Now the issue is that Airtel have objected to my MNP on the pretext that I have signed a contract with them (which is not true).
                    Is that the right behavior that one is not provided proper service and is not allowed to change service provider.

                    If they keep on harassing me I will take legal way claiming all the damages due to deficiency in services.
                    I am surprised why this company is not clear and transparent

                    Complaint marked as Resolved 
                    ON MNP they are cheating and trying to retain customers by wrong ways
                    This is regarding MNP wherein I had put request to port out my number from Airtel to Vodafone. This request was rejected by Airtel saying I can not switch because of "contractual obligation". Airtel says that since I am with an IT company and have corporate number I can not switch. This is totally unfair that just because I am working for an IT company I cannot avail MNP facility.

                    Most of the employees from IT companies have postpaid corporate plans so if this rule applies, MNP is keeping away many subscribers/users away from MNP and its benefits.

                    I am sure these operators are finding excuses to retain their customers and troubling them by such excuses.

                    Request to kindly take strict action against such operators.
                    Yes Airtel is the number 1 fraud company which rejects the MNP request from the customer saying contractual obligation. I have got the same message from them
                    My name is Shajid K.P., an existing Airtel customer (mobile No. [protected]- prepaid) and applied for the MNP to change the service to Vodafone and I received a message from the vodafone that the my current operator ie Airtel has rejected my request due to subsisting contractual obligation. I immediately called the Airtel customer care regarding this issue and they held my call for a long period of time saying that they are connecting to the senior customer care and cut the line. I tried four times today morning (01/02/11) and finally one of the persons in the customer care said that the address given by me when I took the connection and the current address which now I am residing is different thats why they rejected. It sounds very clearly that they are just giving excuses for the rejection and they want to hang up on the customer which they do not want to lose. I was just for a change liked to change the service from Airtel and now I have decided I will never be a customer for Airtel because of their fraudulents. This is for sure in any way I will change my service from Airtel. Please guide me where I have to complain regarding this issue.
                    Airtel is finding out flimsy reasons to prevent its customers from porting out. I had applied for porting to BSNL from airtel and today i got a message telling that my porting got rejected by service provider due to 'legal reasons'. ([protected]- airtel kerala)
                    I contacted the customer care in th morning, they said they will transfer te call to concerned department, there nobody picked up te phone. I kept on calling, and one guy told me that the problem is with the documents I submitted, and its the duty of BSNL to resolve the issue. I contacted the Sub Divisional engineer of BSNL in my area, she checked the details and told me that, Its no one but Airtel who rejected my request due to "contractual obligation". I called airtel customer care once again, he tried to repeat the same lie, but I told him not to lie and to tell me the details of "contractual obligation", he couldnt answer me and transferred my call to his senior, she also went speechless and then she gave me the number of Airtel nodal officer. I told her about the issue and I found out the reason why they rejected it.
                    Few days after getting my porting ID, one guy frm airtel had called me and given me some offers and asked me whether I will continue with airtel if I am satisfied with those offers, They took it as a "YES" and that is the contractual obligation!!
                    I again called th airtel customer care and asked them to cancel all my offers so that i can port out. Now they have changed my "YES" to "NO" and I can port out!!
                    So I need to submit a new porting request with BSNL.
                    Airtel is trying to cheat its customers who wish to port out using such cheap techniques.
                    So, dear people, when ever someone calls you from airtel( Or any service provider) to tell about offers and asking YES/NO answers, please tell them that you wont remain in airtel, what ever offer they make! Even if you say a half yes to continue with airtel, they will take it as a "contractual obligation" and will reject your porting request.
                    I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY CONCERN TO BE RESOLVED. NONE FROM AIRTEL IS CONTACTING ME REGARDING " MY CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS" WHICH THEY CLAIM i HAVE WITH THEM BUT i AM SURE i DON'T HAVE ANY

                    i HAVE NO WAY OUT BUT SEEKING LEGAL HELP

                    SORRY TO SAY THAT THIS IS A REGULAR REPLY - NONE AT AIRTEL BOTHERS ABOUT ANY COMPLAINT

                    SHAMEFUL
                    Dear friends,

                    Airtel is a worst company...

                    Their costumers are trying to escape from them.
                    So they are playing a drama to stop customers from porting out.
                    MNP requests are rejecting with false reasons.
                    We have to complaint it to TRAI against this.
                    i agree that airtel is worst company

                      Dear Sir/Madam,

                      Today date - 15th Jan 2011, I have charged 60INR for data services. I didnt make any request for this, or even I didnt get any confirmation from them that should I activate or want to use this service.

                      This is really frustrating and after talking to AIRTEL CUSTEMER care they simply said they cant refund it and I had to use this service.

                      It is really embaressing. I suggest no body to use AIRTEL's service, We should be thankful to MNP now.. guys change your AIRTEL number. I am really irritated now. I am not sure if any thing can be done for this.

                        Conversation:
                        He said that i didn't paid the bill on my landline no : 40062481

                        I was little surprised to hear that as they called me after 1 yr (recd call on Dec 9th2010)

                        I said i already paid the bill and he didn't agreed for that and he said if i don't respond quickly the case will be submitted to the judge for final hearing. Also he referred someone she is a lawyer - I contacted her and i said that i haven't recd any kind of legal notice and also i mentioned that i paid the bill. She is shouting and said that i need pay other wise she cant help me. She has given me 1 hr time to do so.

                        ---- I didn't know what to do as i know i already paid the bill but due to my neglegence i left it some where as its already a yr i dont have any clue regarding the bill receipt.

                        Today 25th Jan 2011 again i recd a call and he said the same again

                        i M Sure i have cleared the dues one of the airtel person came to my place and he has collected the dues but they are saying that it was not updated and i need to pay.

The local guy Mr Shambu of dwarka comes out with some excuse or the other every time and blames airtel for it. I need my phone duly repaired back as i hv paid for it and if airtel does not want to give is back then i must get the compensation or refund for it.

                              Dear sir,
                              I am a airtel user since for past 5 years. Recently I have sifted to Kamothe - Sector 35 area .(owned a flat).
                              Unfortunately airtel network coverage is very low which is causing frequent call drops.
                              I have tested other operator (Vodafone, Docomo, uninor etc) network coverage, which is full and consistent.

                              Is there any way you guys can resolve my problem.
                              The only other alternative witch is left for me is to adopt MNP and migrate to Vodafone or DOCOMO.

                              Please let me know what it can be done from your side?

                              Regards,

                                AirTel — unwanted call from unknown no.

                                Dear sir,
                                kindly tell me the detail name and add. of the user of no-[protected] ,this person disturbing me and my family.plz do me favour.
                                i am recieving fake calls from last 1 month from an unknown number.i am getting very much disturbed because of this.i want to block this num.

                                my number - [protected](airtel)

                                number from which i am getting calls - [protected]
                                I have the same problem before. I always had callers that were irritating me. I found an article which helped me. You can check it out if you like. http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=2554140
                                i fully agree with the complaint. I am suffering a lot from this type of harrassment. there are calls made to my number from unknown numbers which are not included in my contact list. they simply call and ask that, why did u give missed call? i am amazed. i have checked my outgoing calls. No number was ever dialled from which they are asking me questions. I am in Goa and calls are made from eastern part o[censored]P and Punjab as per the MNC codes. Mostly they are Bharati Airtel or Airtel numbers. My mobile service provider company says that we are helpless. Police say they are helpless. Are all mobile companies hopeless? Is there any possibility that a network or computer problem related to mobile telephony generates such unwanted calls from an unknown person to another unknown person? If yes, then why shouldnt mobile companies take decision to rectify it? I am fade up and advise all people to stop receiving calls from all unknown numbers. mobile companies are greedy. they cant stand this loss. or last option remains...sue mobile companies or stop using cell phones. we were anyway living without them...more happily...
                                I'm receiving fake calls from past 4-5 days from no. [protected] and my no. Is [protected]
                                Unknown calls to my mobile. The call number is "Unknown". Can't show the number while redialling. Why the calls come to my mobile?

                                Hi,

                                I had taken the Airtel number around January. After few days I am receiving a call from unknown number '[protected]', at oddly hours, 4-5AM IST specially. When i call back, no body pickups. Only one time they pickup the phone, but when i ask who is speaking nobody replies, and cut the phone.
                                I put the user in blocked list, and had a track of records in my log from March onwards.

                                To get to the problem, i call the person from another number and asked to not to call on this number, but he didnt reply and cut the phone. But still he continuously calling at odd hours. But when i call back from my number same problem. It getting irritating now. I am thinking of changing my number because of this, as i didn't know how to tackle this problem. Need help?

                                Thanks,
                                Tarun

                                  SirMadam,

                                  My no. is [protected], On 23 jan 2011, i had Rs= 25.72 on my account,but during evening when i checked my account balance,it was Rs= 15.72.Unnecessary Rs= 10 is reduced from my account. At 7:16 pm,i got a sms from AD-54321 in which it was written that i had been renewed for Supermodels_ Wap_Shortformats subscription service from airtel.So without any subscription from my side this service is activated on my number by airtel and Rs= 10 is reduced from my account.I am in roaming so i am not able to contact with customer care,so i want you to check this matter at your level and return me my unnecessary reduced balance i.e., Rs= 10 and Unsubscribe this service.

                                  thank you

                                  Airtel — Unnecessary reduction of balance from my account

                                  This is to inform you that I am a prepaid subscriber of Airtel.
                                  My No. is [protected]
                                  I had got my mobile recharged with Rs 555 from Mukesh Communication(78B, Paddmapukur Road, Kolkata-700020) on 14th of January, 2009 around 6 or 6.30 pm.When I gave the amount to him he had carefully checked all the notes(currency).I had even got the full amount(Rs 555) creditted to my account. But Yesterday[protected] I received the call from (mukesh communication) saying that the Rs 500 note was fake.Within few minutes after the talk it was found that the amount had been debitted from my account.After which I talked to the vendor(mukesh communication) but he is not cooperating with me.I had talked to airtel customer care about this matter to which they are saying that they(airtel) cant do anything about this, its the matter between vendor and the customer.It was even told to me that the vendor has the right to roll back the amount once crediited.When I had a talk with consumer court about this whole matter and roll back system.They had given me the information that the rights of vendor to roll back the amount is totally inappropriate and they had no information about this sysem.So, they had asked me to write a letter to the airtel nodal officer about the whole matter.He said that I am at fault and nothing can be done in this regard by him.
                                  I am having the cash memo with my mobile number written on it.I am enclosing this document with this mail

                                  Airtel — unnecessary balance reduction

                                  Hello si/mam,
                                  I would like to inform you that i am using airtel mobile service.
                                  I am used to use GPRS service on my mobile handset([protected]).On 23/10/2010 i had started a service names "MOBILE OFFICE" in which i have to pay 5 rupee and i can use 50Mb data .Though i have started this service,company charged 50.56 rupee from my account.
                                  I had contacted airtel care for this problem,but i did not get any solution.They had told me that they will call me in 4 hours but they didnt call even after one week.
                                  So i request you to understand and solve my problem.
                                  Yours faithfully
                                  JUGAL PARMAR

                                  AirTel — unnecessary reduction of balance

                                  this my number [protected], im a customer of airtel mobile prepaid connection, there is unnecessary reduction of balance of rs. 3 everyday from my account without any usage, where as it finally ends up with rs. 0.00 balance in my account, with which i am not able to make a call or even a msg, which is very inconvenient to the customer, i want you to take an immediate action about this issue and get my problem solved.
                                  same is happening with me!! but when I sent a message "LAST" to 121 it said that "No transactions found." .. I recharged my account with Rs.50 but after 3-4 days my balance was Rs.-5 .. UNNECESSARILY !! When I called Costumer Care it said that your account balance is currently low so please recharge your airtel prepaid immediately to enjoy continued services and the call disconnected.. when i complained on consumercourt.in Airtel Presence said that your no. could not be connected and hence they are saying the same thing they said above.. Also, I posted on their facebook page but NO REPLY IS COMING FROM THEIR SIDE..! I posted it 5 times on their wall BUT NO REPLY!! My airtel prepaid no. is [protected]..

                                    Dear Mr. Dakshina Murthy G R,
                                    The mail I had received from you informing me that appropriate action will be taken on 08/11/2010.
                                    Now it is more than two months after you had promised & nothing has happened & still my SMS's are bouncing , thanks to your largesse in sending the junk messages which is pissing me off every day.
                                    Not even single soul in your company has bothered to solve the customer complaint which shows the sad state of affairs and apathy towards customers.
                                    I think number portability is the only solution.
                                    If who ever is responsible who has the guts to solve the problem may reply to this mail, other wise they will be only filling my mail box space with auto / standard / use less replies which does not make any difference to the customers.

                                    organization



                                    It is ridiculous to know from your own employees (even at different Airtel
                                    offices in Bangalore) that NDNC is the issue which they will be not be able to
                                    help & they them selves s are the victims of junk messages & are not able to
                                    stop.

                                    If the customers are flooded with junk messages, even after customers request
                                    if telecom operator is not able to stop the same then I think I have to take up
                                    the issue with different level may be with consumer forum, management or TRAI.




                                    I want action towards this mail & not auto reply.

                                    Dear Sir,
                                    I am having prepaid connection under mobile number[protected]
                                    I had registered my number for NDNC ON 22.05.2010. The reference number is
                                    W[protected]
                                    Even after registering for NDNC I am continue to get promotional communication,
                                    which I had not opted for.
                                    Even after contacting your reltion ship centre in 6th Block Rajaji Nagar,
                                    Bangalore nothing has changed.
                                    Request you to please look into the matter & do the needful.
                                    Also at this juncture I would like to brring to your kind attention that
                                    service in 6th Block Rajaji nagar relation ship centre is very poor.
                                    To respond to customer they take hell a lot of time & I confirm that it is not
                                    a stray incident, especially in the pre paid counter people have to wait
                                    for long .
                                    Some time the reasons cited will be silly, like to talk to custermer care in
                                    hot line they say phone battery is down or they will not feel the persons
                                    presence in the conunter.( in one instance I waited for more than 30 minutes to
                                    get an audience)
                                    At least as a custermer we have a right to be heard in the first place, man
                                    management comes first & problem solving next.
                                    Hope this complaint will not go unanswared.
                                    With Warm Regards

                                      For a 1 min 30 sec call I am being charged for 1hr 30mins in my Dec'10-Jan'11 bill (Bill No.[protected].
                                      Call charges are Rs12/min. Two calls were made on the same day.
                                      One at 8:39:18am and another at 8:40:32am to 5664474 on the 1st of Jan 2011.
                                      The 1st call was charged Rs1080 for 1hr 30 mins.
                                      The 2nd call was charged Rs36 for 2 mins 37 sec.
                                      Thought the difference in time between both the calls is 1min 12sec.
                                      Excess charges are been charged to me.
                                      It is also not possible to have both the calls simultaneously on without call conference.
                                      For which I was not charged any call charges.
                                      I have made complaints for the same which was registered with reference nos.35288500 on 14 Jan 2011 and 35323364 on 17 Jan 2011.
                                      The bill was generated on 12 Jan 2011.
                                      I was given a rebate of Rs36 only.
                                      I am not happy with the way the situation was handled.
                                      Please reimburse the excess charge along with the tax charged.

                                      Airtel — excess charges on 1 minute call

                                      i am charged 1 rupees for call time of 59 seconds but as it ends on 1.00 minutes or say 60 seconds my pre paid is debited by 2 rupees. i think international norms of 1 minutes=60 seconds are not adheard by bharti airtel and their own laws are made by them as their customer care executives say that i[censored] count from zero 59 seconds make 1 minutes. this reason is beyond imagination for a literate person.i think crores of rupees are made by the said company by robbing 1 rupee for 1 second from their crores of silent customers who have not either complained or did not observed this technical roberry by bharti airtel.
                                      Dear Sir.
                                      I have a PCO/STD at shop. I recharge it with minimum Rs.2500/- but I have seen that call charge for local is more than Rs.1/- and STD charges also is more than Rs.1/-. Public demand is Local/STD charges must be Rs.1/-. I want to convert my telephone no. into Rs.1/- plan for both. If any scheme is in operation kindly convert my no. Rs. 1/ plan. My number is [protected]
