We had applied for 2(Two) landline connection and one broadband connection from Airtel, Ernakulam, Kerala on 17th December. We were assured by their reps.Mr. Vinu([protected]) & Mr. Deepu([protected]) that the same will be installed within 2 days. We also received some SMS from Airtel telling us that the same will be installed in 3 working days. Our cheque for Rs. 500/- against the landline application has also been encashed on 21st December. Since 27th December we have written two emails to [protected]@airtel.in. We have received replies that our rep. will contact within 24 hrs., but no calls. Then we wrote an email each to Nodal officer, kerala on 6th January and Apetlate Authority, Kerala on 19th January & 29th january. From both places we received acknowledgement email assuring that we will receive a response within 3 days but we are still waiting for the same.

Please help us know the status of our application or suggest us where should we now approach. On the website of Aitel we are getting no suggestion as to further course of action.

Dear Madam/Sir,

I am using samsung GT-I5801 with my airtel no. [protected].In the begining days when i used my airtel number with this handset i got call summary details with call rate information at the end of the call.Also I was able to check my balance and validity.But now i am not able to check my balance and validity.Also i am not getting any message at the end of the call which will give information about the call rate.Please let me know what needs to be done for this problem.When i contacted the customer care they are not guiding properly.Also nowadays you people are charging for calls which we are making to talk with customer care exceutive,I am losing all my money in making call to customer care.Because after selecting the option to talk with customer care exceutive,its taking 5 mins to get connect with customer care executive.You are unneccessarily wasting our golden time with the cost of our money.

Please solve this problem ASAP.

Thanks,

Illegal deduction of balance
Date: 16/2/11 From: [protected]

Dear Sir/Mam

This is to inform you that Airtel is deducting balance from my prepaid account for its unused Airtel Live Service namely ‘DID YOU KNOW FACTS’.

1. On Dec’10 and Jan’11 I received messages from Airtel saying that I have been charged RS.10 for activating ‘DID YOU KNOW FACTS’ service from Airtel Live, which I have never used.

2. From my prepaid account a total sum of Rs.50 was deducted in said period. I complained on 121 about this. The customer care executive admitted that this was done from their part and refunded the whole amount. After that the service was discontinued from my number without refunded the deducted amount.

3. Again on 11/2/11 I received similar message and Rs.10 were deducted from my prepaid account.


Is this the way that Airtel is supposed to deliver its services without intimating custmer.

I am feeling hopeless, kindly assist me gaining proper services and amount deducted from my account may be refunded at the earliest with deactivation of the service.

Also explain if Airtel cant take care of its customers, should I move to another service provider.

With regards
RAMESH KUMAR

Hi,

I purchased your DTH on 13th January my account id is
[protected] by Shantanu | Sales Adviser`, E-mail:shantanu.[protected]@vriti-interactive.com Number is [protected] from your outsource Outbound Vriti Infocomm. And Mr. shantanu guide me that you got extra benefits of iTV,6 Games, Star sports, Espn and Star cricket also in Rs 1590 with other sports channels Ten cricket, Ten sport and Ten action. I confirmed 3 time with Shantanu and he said me yes you got these benefits and this call is recored in system so am not committing you wrong if you purchase right now and I purchased you DTH. But after Installation I am not getting these benefits and I called to your Vriti executive Shantanu he didn’t pick my phone and when I called to Ms. Bharti today in morning number [protected] mail id is 'bharti.[protected]@vriti-interactive.com'she said me kindly call on Customer care once number is [protected]. When I call on this Number [protected] Ms. Ekta picked my phone and I told her my problem but she said to me this offer is not available on your package we can’t help you if Mr. shantanu commit any wrong communication then sorry for it.
Then I asked her raise complaint for my concern she said me I am not able to raise complaint because we can’t help you if someone commit wrong communication. Then I ask her to transfer my call to her senior and she said me I will transfer you call kindly hold line and she put my call on hold and disconnect my call. Kindly confirm why my call was disconnected by her. Then again I called to Ms. Bharti for telling her my this problem she said me I will arrange call back by Shantanu for you confirmation. But no call received yet.

And Vriti Ms. Ruby Number is [protected] will charge twice for my this package 1590 rs and they said my it will return within 2 or 3 days but I am afraid after this commitments and behavior.


Very frankly to say my first experience with Airtel is very very Poor and bad. Airtel is a big name in industry so I believe my problem will resolve very soon. Kindly resolve my this problem and arrange call back. Unless I have no other option to go Consumer court.

Hi

My name is hari. Mobile - [protected] , UPC Code - AT616841. AIRTEL has repeatedly rejected my MNP to VODAFONE for the third time. I am a prepaid customer i do not have any dues. AIRTEL replies me back that i have accepted an offer of 30 paise A2A and 40 paise A2O. I have never received any call from AIRTEL and i wonder how could they lie so. When i again requested for a port out they rejected with out any reason. Wats happening is AIRTEL fearing to loose its customers. This is hilarious and bull from AIRTEL's part. Please log this complaint as a serious issue on AIRTEL. I dont want their useless services and i don wish to ba a part of AIRTEL. Please help me to Port Out. I would never turn back to AIRTEL again. There are o proper replies from the Nodel officers as well as Customer support. Please help

Regards,
Hari

The above number is been used by me for more than 5 years in your network. I had a problem in your billing and due to that LPC has been charged in Aug 10.

I made complaint for the same and same has been waived in Sep 10 and i have made Rs.190 as a payment on 20-Sep-10 and requested for Disconnection in your Pondy Airtel Office which is not Actioned. Again when i went and enquired they replied we have forwarded & requested to speak to Customer Care Executive from the Hotline in the Airtel Relationship Centre. I spoke to your executive and request has been taken and Retention Executive from Airtel called up for retention and i request to De-activate the number same is been done on 8th Nov 10.

When i called the number [protected] it said "Number is Doesnot Exists". So i confirmed myself that the number is been De-activated but to my surprise i have been receiving the bill from Dec 10. When i enquired about the issue in Airtel Showroom Pondy they said number is been Re-activated on 30-No-10 with the customer request in Nile Communication.

Regarding the Re-activation without customer request letter how can Nile Communication can re-activate the number and also without collecting the O/s for the Mobile number [protected].

Kindly De-activate my number immediately and take neccessary action on the Nile Communication for their Improper Service.

The outstanding amount is only the Rental amount has been charged. Kindly waive the same or debit from the Airtel Showroom who re-activated the line.

Some Higher Officer said, the proof not received then only we have disconnected and cancelled the service. No way to activate the same sim.

But I have a balance amount Rs.100/-approx. on my mobile account. That amount also not refunded.
