    This is regarding Airtel digital tv that today i called the customer care Airtel digital tv and requested for deactivation of my top up(English movies and English entertainment channels)and i requested for activation o[censored]tv world movies.After this I found 9xm was not coming.I called them back and told them about this problem.He said don't worry madam sometimes it occurs by mistake,I will add it again and you will also get star gold and Sahara filmy with this and no extra payment,along with your same base package.I agreed and told him to add that.After this I came to know that Bindas channel is also not coming.I called them again,now this person is telling me that with my first call they have upgraded my package with just 10 rupees extra,but this new package does not have Bindas music and Utv action(which i was getting right from the day i took this connection).Now i told them to reset my earlier account,but she straight away said 'madam this is not possible'.we can upgrade your package to 160 rupees per month which will give you these channels,but we cannot revert back,we will have to listen to your earlier call for details,but you can only upgrade your package and nothing else can be done now.My complaint is this,plus when a customer care is telling about any upgradation or a plan why didn't he tell me about the channels which I will not be getting even after paying 10 rupees extra.Just saying that 'sorry madam,he should have told you about the channels which you will not be receiving,but now we cannot revert back to your earlier package' it does not solve my problem.I cannot pay every time for a customer care person's mistake.You can see that they want me to upgrade from 127 rupees to 138 then to 160 rupees without telling me the details.This is just not bearable.

    AirTel — Airtel attitude

    As against a requested detail Bill Airtel sends a Legal Notice. How do you think we should handle a organisation that lacks integrity

      I am an existing customer with Airtel digital TV and am completely irritated with the absurd customer service from service agent.

      Customer ID – [protected]
      Complaint Register –[protected]Time:09:10AM)
      Service Request Number - 4444331
      My bitter and horrible experience with the service agent of your company at Chennai compel me to write following lines.

      Due to non functioning of my STB ( set top box), After consulting with dealer we have logged a complaint on 13.11.2010 inspite of repeated complaint there after the service Engineer failed turned to my resident for fixing issue. He was not able to provide a proper resolution. He was tried using another customers STB to fix this issue for which he removed the smart card from the my STB and shifted to the other one, after which he forgot to it replace back. For 13.11.2010 he carrying my smart card without returning it. When I tried to call him up he is not picking my call.

      Note: He has saved all those number from where I call him up and not picking only those call.

      I tried contacting the service engineer with a different number he picked up and told me he will fix the issue before 6PM in the evening of 15.11.2010. I am afraid that he is miss using my smart card or lost it. I request your help in resolving this issue ASAP.

      The Service Engineer contact number is - [protected]

      I would like to hear it from you with in next 24 hrs for my resolution or else please advice is it better to cancel my connection. I am afraid no one is miss-using my smart card.

      With Regards

          i have a request to you that please deactivate/unsubscribe all the additional services like "airtel friendz chat", "comic world" ...etc from my connection.
          my mobile number is [protected].

          i have been charged Rs. 20 &Rs. 05 for airtel friends chat and comic world without any reason...
          one more problem is that when i try to contact to customer support officer, either the service reply that "call on toll free no.*121# and get total information about connection" which is worthless or the customer support officers dont give a satisfactory answer to me

          so please try to contact me as soon as possible since i m not able to contact u b'coz of your service...
          and if possible please return my unnecessary charged money back...!!!

          Airtel Service Provider — Scheme changed without notification - 9766134364

          Hello Airtel,

          This is a official complain regarding Airtel service provided to me,

          I have issued a Sim card of your organization - (Airtel service providers) in 2005 till date i have been using it,The scheme under which i had taken this card was Friends so my call rates were subside for all the freinds users and my messaging was 10 paise airtel to airtel and 25 paise to other service providers, But since 11 Jan 2011 my scheme have been changed without informing me or giving me prior notification on SMS or call. My SMS rates were hiked to 1 Rs per SMS which is unacceptable, When i tried calling customer care no 198 (Which is chargeable) to know the appropriate reason why my scheme was change i got following responses at following days & intervals,

          1) Date 11 Feb 2011 Time 7.02 PM - Reference NO: CBNRA[protected] -- Name of
          Operator Satish. My complain was taken and i was provided the resolution date 15 Feb 2011.

          2) Date 14 Feb 2011 Time 1.40 PM Name of Operator Vijay -- Just gave a call to know the status of my complain -- I got the answer that the "You will be soon get call by one our Executive office and your Issue will be resolved soon- Thank u for contacting airtel "

          3 ) Date 15 Feb 2011 Time 1.40 PM Name of Operator Vibhor -
          a) I got the answer that your validity was over so the scheme was changed but i told
          him that my validity was till 7 july 2023 as i renewed it on jan 2010
          b) He told me I never had Friends card as the system is not showing him like that
          but he matter of fact i am a prominent customer of airtel from 5 years using this
          friends scheme on this no .
          Later the call was transferred to his supervisor Name: Shilpa whom i spoke to -- At that time she gave me the answer that the you had made a recharge of Rs 64 on 8th feb 2011 so the scheme was changed but the fact is that there was no recharge done from my side the last recharge was done on 17th Jan 2011 of RS 150 as i getting full talk time on it. Shilpa couldn't give me any appropriate reason on this issue so the call was disconnected saying that she cant help me anymore on this issue.

          4) Date 16 Feb 2011 Time 4.50 PM i tried calling again to costumer care but it seems that they have blocked my No and it gives me message that please dail *121# to know your Account Balance & Validity ,Offers and start and stop services.

          Till date I haven't got any satisfactory reason why my scheme was changed and why my service was interrupted i have been charged Rs 1 per SMS instead of 10 paisa

          As of now i am fedup giving complain to Airtel costumer care every time i call i use to get different reason i request you to please look into the matter as soon as possible as i am getting mentally harassed.

          Kind Regards,

Since last few week I m facing lot of Inhouse network problem with Airtel, and I had log a call with Customer Care for the same but still nothing is resolved(call getting disconnected). My last communication with airtel customer care was suggest by them that this is only the maximum what they can do.

            I m paying them not for this type of service, and one should have full right to enjoy full coverage.

              Hi,

              This is Vamshi Krishna, using your broadband connection from the past 1 Year.

              In the beginning i had few issues with the policies of your company but at last i have over come all these issues. Now there is a strange and serious problem.

              I got my Bill in the month of October, saying that from the month of november the billing type is changed from hard copy to soft copy. Which i never requested for and will never request for.

              So i called up call center and they have registered a request saying that i will recieve a hard copy only and no soft copies will be sent.

              After 15 days, i have recieved an e-bill from ebill.airtel.in for the month of November. So i again gave a compliant in call center and i got a hard copy for that month.

              Today, i.e, 27/12/2010, i have a recieved a e-bill saying that it;s my current month bill and i have to pay the bill.

              Checked and found that the bill i got is a e-bill for last billing month for which i paid the bill on 15/12/2010 only.

              My Questions are,

              1) When i never shifted from hard copy to soft copy, why am i getting e-bills for every month?

              2) What happened to previous compliants registered and who has confirmed with me and closed them?

              3) When i get a call from Outbound agents, Why do they disconnect the line before me completing my sentence?

              4) When will aritel stop e-bills to me and send hard copies only?

              Last and most important question...
              5) Airtel's internet service is Flawless but why is their billing so poor?

              Please clarify the above questions. I am expecting a quick reply.

              Regards,
              Vamshi Krishna A

                I took airtel prepaid sim no [protected] by filling form with color photo and id from department of science and technology (Govt of India) institute where i am a research student. I used it for 2-3 weeks then suddenly it was blocked and i had no signal. Upon calling airtel, I got to know that there was some problem with my form. at that time i had 350 rs balance in account.

                I went to malleswaram airtel customer centre and refilled the form again, I was told that i will loose all my account but retain my number an it will be done in 2-3 days.

                they took by boss's number as local contact for verification and also secondary proof.

                as activation was not done even in 8 days, i went back and the airtel CC managers at malleswaram centre told me that they see no reason for not activating and they will enquire and sent a mail to concerned authority.

                nothing happened in next one month and I went back again to fill the form.

                this thing continues but i still do not have by airtel sim activated.
                repeted mails get no answer from airtel.
                If airtel does this to even one in hundred of their 25 crore sims sold so far they have duped as much as 750 crore from innocent citizens like me.

                is it the reason airtel makes max profit out of all telecom companies?

                      Airtel reseller "SAHA TELECOM" is a fraud.

                      Sumit the owner of SAHA TELECOM is also not a rite person. Their only intention is to take connections. They also charged me 700 rupees extra for giving connection immediately.

                      After using the number for 15 days they stopped my number. after repeated calls and visits they asked me to sign a form and submit after a week. after 2 days when I went to submit the form, they had already given the number to someone else and sumit the owner said that I have not taken any connection from them of any sort.

                      They not only duped my 1000 rupees but also they issue the same number to someone else.

                      This is not the first complaint against sumit airtel jessore road dum dum saha infocom

                        Airtel has now started (or atleast i have realized it only now) to provide value added service such as cricket updates, bollywood updatec, etc.. without the customer's express approval and deducting the mobey from the pre paid card amounts. This is definitely not legal and this is to warn the public that Airtel is resorting to such cheap methods to make money from public. this happened on my son's mobile, upon ralising this, check with my parents and they were also being deducted for sms's that was irrelevant for them and had not subscribed for. So my plea to Airtel is :: PLEASE STOP THIS CON JOB !!

                          I am Arpitkumar, just converted my pre-paid account to Postpaid....
                          While taking the connection they will say NO EXTRA CHARGES.
                          After Taking connection they will Charge for every stupid things.
                          for me when i call Customer care and compain them as i was not able to do the confference call (as part of my daily routine), thay guy ask me to activate that server and you have to pay 50 Rs P.m. I was shocked.
                          Actully while taking the connection, they should update all this activation charges......... They have very good pamphlet why dont they add this in it.
                          instade of getting some rough word from customer.

                          Please do not go for the post paid connection. else ask about all the minor minor services they provide and charge for it.

                              Dear Sir,

                              I am prepaid user of Airtel(my no: [protected]). I am recieving the Advertisement Messages and Calls and keep disturbing me the all the time,. Recently I got a advertisement MSG from Airtel itself message meant for: If I reply back to 53030 I may get some recharge(top-up) amount (there is no note TC apply) when I replied back to 53030. It automatically dedecuted Rs 3 from a/c. And got another SMS with general question, If I would answer the question. I would get prize. I even replied back to this SMS. Again Rs 3 deducted from my a/c. These are really cheap tricks which always cheating the customers. To my wonder, AIRTEL is encouraging the these kind of marketing to get some adv amount. I would really apprecaite if you take any action of this kind of cheaters or Please advice me How can i fight this kind of fraud advertisements to save so many customers's money like me.

                              Thanks in Advance

                                Sir,

                                I am not sure whether action will be taken on this kind of service/fraud by Airtel.
                                My Airtel DTH cust id:[protected].

                                I have taken Dth connection for 7 months free package South Value Plus with Telugu regional pack.
                                But it was activated with Tamil regional Package.

                                I called customer care to de-activate tamil regional pack and activate telugu regional pack under South Value plus. But the cutomer executive has changed the whole package to South Super value.

                                I raised a complaint to revert to original package on Dec 12th 2010. The resolution time is 48 hours.

                                Immediately after one or two days, my connection was suspended. I have called the customer care daily but nothing happened. I had a big fight with their supervisors and escalated to grievence dept.

                                It got resolved on 21st dec. But reduced the number of free months to only 5 months.

                                I got shocked with the fraud they are doing.

                                I raised a complaint on 24th to correct the issue with months. Again they suspended my connection.
                                When asked about the status of complaint they told it is resolved.

                                As a customer, i lost trust in Airtel totally, I want to get my money back.

                                My details are :
                                cust name: Praveen

                                Airtel — AIRTEL FAKE SERVICES & COUSTEMER CARE

                                On 14th July, I got a service msg. That by sending SMS YES to 5517048, I will get 450rs worth SMS bal. Its a offer we are having in our place. So I sent SMS, and 48Rs deducted from my Bal. Then I got service reply that the service will be activated in 24Hrs. but it didn’t. When I spoke to customer care, they are holding my call for long time, or they are taking complaints and saying to wait for 48Hrs. Obviously we forget about that after that time. The same is happening with me. From past 10 days neither I can have 450Rs sms or my 48 Rs talk time.

                                And the customer care is BINDAS in their own way.

                                Today a new problem raised, I have a power plus card which charge 1RP for std. But 1.50 is deducting for no reason. Though I have validity and all, its happening. Again they are giving complaint no.s.

                                Till now I have 4 complaint nos, . but no actions against them

                                Its my experience that AIRTEL customer care fit for nothing, even I depend on net for my GPRS settings 3monthsback.That is the service of AIRTEL.

                                  Dear Sir ,
                                  I had recharged my card for an amount of rupees 50 on 26/12/2010 and also activated a mobile internet pack for rupees 13. After the activation (Message from number 9001 said" Dear customer,Your GPRS service has been activated. Now enjoy unlimited Internet browsing.") I had started browsing a few sites. I now have received a message deducting my cash balance to rupees 13.86. I was confused and after much search I found a number'543210' to which i sent a message. I did not recieve any answer as to my query. I have not downloaded anything and am not understanding the service provided by Airtel mobile internet pack. Please attend to this problem as soon as possible. I expected a much better service from Airtel and expect to recieve an answer.


                                  my phone number is:[protected]

I have already cash paid my due bill dated 11/12/2010 Acc. ID 16043011. Slip no for the same is 209842. payment has been made in presence of your sales executive Mr. Govind Agrawat. (contact no. [protected]). You can verify the above stated facts and proceed accordingly. But it shall be my humble request that please do no, I repeat, DO NOT, send me any mail or executive at my address. You had troubled me enough by your irresponsible behavior and totally unprofessional attitude. please consider this as our last communication. If any further communication is made or you have contacted me without prior notice and without my perfectly accepted permission, then the further communication will be based on the law grounds. thank you.

                                      I sent this mail many times but the airtel company keep sending me bills for that broadband connection. Before this i had paid my whole bill when i used that connection
                                      Sir am not in a mood to give any money for that connection. So please help me out

                                        I got a message from 54321 saying "Thanks for using FS-Airtel Music Portal subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Re.1", but I never opted for any kind of subscription from Airtel for the past 10 days

                                        Please kindly cancel my Fs-Airtel Music Portal subscription at the earliest. Thank you.

                                        Kind regards,
                                        Srini
