I am Ashok Kumar Somani. my mobile number is [protected]. On Nov 16, 2010 Masti pack was activated on my no. without my permision and a certain amount started deducting from my account. The service was automatically decatived on 7.12.2010.

How a company like airtel could be so irresponsible that in order to increase its revenues it uses all the wrong practices.

It is fine in short run but in long run it will lose its loyal customer.

If any one in airtel is listening...Could you please explain me reason for the same???

    Dear Sir / Mam,

    My self Vishalakshi.S. I was using the broadband connection. The number is [protected].

    The last amount which i paid to airtel was 2 thousand and change. When this amount was outstanding, one person had called from airtel, and they asked for the outstanding amount. Then i explained the problem. "I did not pay because i wanted to disconnect the connection as the signal was very low at our place and i was not getting connection. I informed them to disconnect the same. “
    Then they said they will send their representative to my place to collect the cheque. So I paid the full amount and I told that person also that I am not using this connection any more.
    After two months I have not received any calls or bills from airtel, so I thought the connection was disconnected. Now from last two months I am getting calls from customer care to pay the amount of 3 thousand and change. Now they are telling that I have to give a cancellation letter.
    Why they have not told me when they called me for the outstanding amount? Why the person not told me who came to collect the cheque?
    When I have not used the connection from last four months why should I pay this amount?
    Why I have not received any calls from airtel for the first one to two months when I have not used? Why now they are telling that amount is due?
    Airtel can check in their network that whether I have really used this connection or not? Why don’t they check and tell the same? The amount is due to the monthly rental which they charges every month.
    If they do like this how a normal person can go for airtel connection? When a person not used the connection, why he has to pay the amount unnecessarily?
    If I pay this amount now, After coming to know that I have not used the connection will they refund my amount?
    Last two weeks back one more person came to our home to collect the amount, and then also I told the same issues. Why he has not told anything?
    Is this is the way how airtel treats their customers. If I use this connection and if I have not paid, then I accept myself that after using the connection I have not paid the amount........

    Regards,

    Vishala.

        I am an Airtel Customer.

        My number is [protected].

        My complain is against the Airtel which sends Adult sms written below.

        How can Airtel send such vulgar sms which I am writing again for your knowledge

        "

        There are some other sms also like this.

        This is second sms like this;sent to me on 2nd December 2010

        "
        These are only two sms which i have written.

        Airtel can not send such vulgar & Adult sms to me as per the laws of India.

        So send me apology letter for this in writing to my home & also mention in that letter in future you will not send such sms along with the sorry for already sent sms.

        Work immediately to this & send sorry letter as soon as possible

          Mobile no: [protected]. I have recharged my account with Rs. 49 (SMS Pack) with transaction ID: [protected] at 14:09 hours on 8th December 2010 but I was not given the benefit. This has happened previously several times and it keeps happening inpite of their state of art technology (Big Joke). When I call up the call centre, an agent my name Raju picks up and without any action transfers the call to his superior blindly. I was placed on hold for more than 30 minutes ( and I was getting charged for the call) without any resolution and transfer. Finally I had to hang up in frustration. THIS IS THE PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM AIRTEL ON NUMBER ON OCCASSIONS. REQUEST REFERENCE: CBNRA[protected]

            I have been using airtel prepaid number since January 2010 my number is [protected]. I have been facing problem in outgoing calls whenever i call it never get connects. I have lodged my complaint at 121 customer care number because airtel's complaint helpline number 198 is absolutely useless whenever i called no executive came to receive the call,then i called at chargeable number 121 but they were just unable to resolve my problem.
            I request u to rectify my outgoing calls problem as soon as possible and take strict actions against airtel prepaid services.

              I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING CALLS AND SMES FROM AIRTEK DTH FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MORE THAN 10 CUSTOMER CARE EXECUTIVES. I EVEN REQUESTED A LOT OF PEOPLE IN AIRTEL OUTLETS TO STOP THE CALLS AND SMSES. I TOLD THEM THAT I AM NOT A SUBSCRIBER OF AIRTEL DTH BUT THE CALLS AND SMSES HAVE NOT STOPPED. EVEN AS I TYPE THIS COMPLAINT, I AM GETTING A CALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE.
              THE CALLS AND SMSES HAVE CAUSED A LOT OF MENTAL HARASSMENT TO ME. I GET CALLS AND SMSES AT ODD HOURS. I GET CALLS FROM DIFFERENT NUMBERS SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY. I AM ON ROAMING. A LOT OF MY MONEY HAS BEEN WASTED ANSWERING SUCH CALLS FROM AIRTEL.
              I WANT TO TAKE SOME LEGAL ACTION IF POSSIBLE.

                  I believe that Airtel has lost interest in their DTH business segment, and don't care about user's problems.
                  They're terribly slow in adding new channels. TATA and Big have already added channels like FX, FX Crime, BBC Entertainment, Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science etc and their viewers are enjoying it for months.
                  My only problem is that I have two airtel dth connection, and would have to shell out some Rs. 2000 extra for new connection which I am trying to avoid. But I think I'll have to do it, given the apathy of Airtel towards its consumers.

                  FYI: I already mailed Airtel many times about the issue and always got the same textbook answer that "we're in the process of adding new channels". This answer sucks... give us some dates/deadlines.

                      I wish to express my acute dissatisfaction with the Airtel services. They have arbitrarily and without my consent discontinued posting me printed-out bills for my phone number.

                      I have repeatedly (both through phone calls to customer care representatives and via sms) clarified clearly and repeatedly that I need the hard copy of the bill. Despite phoning up the Airtel complaint number and repeatedly informing them about non-receipt of the fixed-line Bill, and the fact that I would not like to avail of the ebill option, I have still not received my bill.
                      The last phone call I made was on 2nd December, and I was assured (Service Request Number[protected] that I would definitely receive my bill before 2.30 on 7 December 2010.

                      I still have not and I can only construe this as deliberate on the part of Airtel. I have also explained that I need the bill for my records and I do not have an access to a printer, and therefore I would not like to avail of the ebill option.

                      Further, I wish to point out that though they claim that complaint numbers are toll-free, when I called up through my Airtel mobile to complain about my landline - which was completely dead - money was deducted from my mobile phone for making that call. When I called again to complain about this, I was told that the toll-free number only works from a landline. It is unethical to proclaim that your toll-line is free, and then be selective about landline or mobile numbers, especially when it is an Airtel number. A customer only calls a 'toll-free' number in an emergency, and if the landline number is not working there is no option but to call from a mobile number.

                      Iam a regular customer of Airtel Mobile. I used to get regular bills and I pay with out any default.
                      This time I have not yet received the bill for the month of December 2010.
                      I went to your office at Palarivattom and paid the amount.
                      I want the bill for the same urgently for my office use.
                      May I kindly request you to send the bill urgently.

                        I would like to get this 2 gb internet activated on my airtel sim as as possible.
                        else will have to take some stringent steps.

                        Hi,

                        I also have complaint regarding the same.
                        I have been using airtel since 2 years and in last 2 days my balance is getting deducted unnecessarily even after a 2 GB monthly package!!

                        As written here i will try once by contacting them on mail.

                        I spoke to customer executive. today is 6th jan they say they will solve it by 10th jan.

                        4 days to solve a problem of customer. I wish it was faster.

                          Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

                          i have taken up advance 6 payment plan which states that if you pay 5months rent in advance, you will get 1 month rent as free. My plan was 799 unlimited and paid Rs. 3995 and i got service effective from 25-Dec-2009 to 25-Jun-2010. After june, my plan was auto-renewed and i have been charged Rs. 3995 for next month. I told him that i am not interested in this plan and i am willing to normal payment mode of Rs. 799 per month. They have not reverted back. Atlast, i was pushed to disconnect the service on 23-Sep-2010 and line got disconnected. Now the problem is they have charges Rs. 3995+taxes+fine for 6 months advance payment and three month charges also (jul-sep). But already they have charged me for above period plus Rs. 2,016.56 for those three months. Totally it came with Rs. 6677 and they have raised a case in Delhi high court for claim of Rs.56000 and magistrate called and threatened me to pay bill and i paid in vain. Why did they have charged that 2016 amount as already i have been covered under 6 months rental plan. Also, as its 6 months rental plan, i have used only 3 months and i have 3 more months remaining. I need justice. please help me. I lost my hard earned money and i need it back badly!

                            Dear Sir/ Madam,

                            I had ordered Airtel HD DTH on 22nd Nov. by making a payment of Rs.2,955/- through IVR using my ICICI Credit card. , Transaction ID: 11977623.

                            Later I requested for cancellation due to my financial reasons, and requesting refund for the same.

                            So far 4 - 5 times I spoke to customer service people, but not proper update given to me.
                            The customer service is asking for all the details everytime I call them, and almost all the times they are disconnecting the call after holding long time.

                            One person raised a complaint for refund and gave me the complaint id as[protected].
                            But later when I checked, it was not complaint id, but order id.

                            I would like to have the money refunded, please help me.

                            Thanks in advance. Appreciate your help.

                                This is to notify the concerned people that few days back on 27/11/2010 I got a call from the Airtel Koromangala Branch to convert the prepaid connection to post paid.They sent a person to me to collect all the related documents and 300rs for the postpaid connection.Till date They have not converted to Postpaid and when I try calling them over the numbers they are not entertaining my Queries.The only answer to all question is taht we will soon call u back.....god knows how soon.

                                The sales person named"Kotresh" collected all teh documents and promised to deliver within 2 days.I want to register a compalin against him for false promise and cheationg the client.

                                Please look into the matter and get it resolved soon.I want a solution either convert the connection or refund my money back.

                                Thanks and regards

                                Hi,


                                I(Ashish Tripathi) took an airtel corporate connection([protected]) which was activated
                                on 4th of Feb.
                                The outgoing call was barred on 10th of Feb for which i call airtel's
                                so called customer CARE center.
                                Some how i managed to speak to a CSR and i got the shock of my life
                                when i heard that there was 6000rs outstanding on my name. When i told
                                them that this no was hardly 1 week old and its credit limit was just
                                500 rs he told that this outstanding amount was for my old No.s
                                ([protected], [protected]). I was surprised as i had never used these
                                no's.
                                On enquiring more about it i got to know that these no's were
                                activated on my name when i was working for hcl comnet. This was
                                another surprise because i have never worked for hcl comnet and i can
                                prove that in court.
                                When i told all these things to a shift manager, ( plz read
                                carefully... ) he advised me to go to gurgaon center of airtel and
                                prove that i never worked for hcl comnet( wow what an advise! can you
                                prove that you have never worked for microsoft hah...) moreover i live
                                in noida i dont have enough time to go to gurgaon and prove.
                                Now i have few querries for you and if possible for everyone in bharti telecom.
                                1) How were 2 no's activated on my name without proper
                                verification(since i have never worked for hcl comnet)
                                2)If it was activated how come i never recieved any bill for those no's.
                                3)If there was any outstanding amount against why wasnt i informed
                                about it. there should have been some sort of communication from
                                airtel's side.
                                4) How come the outstanding amount was transferred into my current
                                no's account without any prior notice or without my information or
                                consent.
                                5)I believe since you guys can activate any no on anyone's name so it
                                being a national security hazzard i would love to go to MEDIA(both
                                print and tele), TRAI and Consumer forum in the interest of national
                                security.
                                6)I feel i am lucky because if these no's would have been used by
                                terrorists or millitants for communication or terror activities i
                                would have been behind the bars by now and on this point i would like
                                to know who would have been held responsible for the mishap.
                                7) Last but not the least Is your customer care center worth it.
                                because i have had horrendous times with your call center. Have you
                                tried to call the customer care center and escalate any issue? try it
                                you will get the shock of your life.
                                If you want to escalate any issue then the first thing that the CSR
                                would do is that he would disconnect the call. And the stupid reasons
                                for not escalating would be that the CSR would not know who his
                                TL, MANAGER or supervisor is.
                                somehow if you manage to convince the CSR escalate then you will have
                                to wait on hold for unknown period of time and if you are patient
                                enough then your call will be either transferred to some other dept
                                which has nothing to do with your case OR if you have asked to speak
                                to a manager then it would be transferred to shift manager. I know its
                                an escalation desk but people there are not earning there salaries.
                                It was really very painfull experince for me to speak to your Call center.
                                Right now the no does not exist they barred my no.I have also file a police
                                complaint regarding this issue.

                                Can you do something in this case.

                                I am forced to give this advise: please change the name of your call
                                center as customer care center rather it should be CUSTOMER HARASSMENT
                                CENTER.

                                Bill clarification issue;

                                I had logged this complaint[protected] on 25th august 2008 and without resolving they have closed the complaint. Also not solving this requested problem since 10 days. This type of service is not satisfied and we are using your services more than 2 years.

                                Each time when I call to customer care they are opening different request number and they have given the following request numbers:
                                10981990
                                11082388
                                11232774
                                11275806

                                I am surprising why they give different request numbers each time and finallly they say given the clarifications and closed the request.

                                Take some action and give us the clarifications urgently.

                                I never felt like this situation in entire 2 years but since 10 days am very much harrased with the customer care for not giving proper reason and not taking care of my complaint.

                                AIRTEL ( Post Paid Service) — Mental Harrasment( Withdrwal of services)

                                Dear Sir,


                                I have subscribed post paid servises of AirTEl for last three years( Ph no. [protected]). On 21 May Airtel suddenly stopped my outgoing calls with a sms that i had requested for address change. The fact is that i made no written or verbal request for address change, Even though i made visit to the Chakarta Road, Dehradun( Kanoght Place Office) of Airtel and submitted verified documents to the above mention office and was given an assurance that they will resume outgoing services of my phone by 48 hrs.
                                Since then, I made innumerable request to Airtel for resumption of services but got no satisfactory answer fron any one of the customar care executive, After a fortnight of mental harasment, i irequested AirTel customer care to either resume the service or send me fresh invoice of monthly bill of the date till they provided me the services me i.e. 21 May 2009. So i can formmally delink from Airtel
                                Airtel does not respond to my request till date and sends the monthly charges to me very month on my email address.
                                The above mentioned affair has given me tremendous mental trauma and has been consuming my mental energy.
                                My i seek your help in resolving the issue.

                                hello, this is my complaint for airtel broadband landline services. i applied for address change for my broadband connection on feb 11, 2010.i shifted to my new address in scheme no 114, i applied for transfer again and again but got no reply. Then one day i applied for cancellation and again applied for new number. But when i applied for new number airtel people told me that they will transfer the old number first. In between i submitted rs 1000 for registration of new number. I have the slip of the same, the serial number for which is 2385547. But i got my old connection transfered on 12th march 2010.

                                So my number got transfered after one month. Now i got the bill.My only request to airtel people is, plz give me waiver for the one month that is of 12th feb to 12th march period. And they already have my rs 1000 submitted with them. explain this to the executive whoever calls. Every time they say ok we will not call again and your amount would be waived off. BUt next time again i get a call,its mental harassment using airtel broadband.

                                Plz resolve this problem, i want airtel to waive off my rent for one month and adjust the registration amount in bill.

                                Now outgoing calls on my number is barred due to non-payment of bill. I paid my bill now but ionly thing i want from airtel to return back my registration of rs 1000 and waive off the rent amount of one month.plz resolve my problem.my number is 4068935 and [protected].

                                Ahmedabad.

                                First of all I would like you to tell this I have experienced worst services from AIRTEL. I had not used fixedline for more than a month. Still I paid an amount INR 1891, after paying 4000 INR regarding my 6 months plan.

                                When I got a call from a call centre, I have been told that an amount of 1000 INR has been wavered and I am require to pay 1891 INR from 2891 INR and then it would be disconnected. So I paid 1891 INR online and AIRTEL dint disconnect the number and generate one more bill and therefore I called a customer care and requested for disconnection. On february 14, again I got a call and the guy told me that I still need to pay 1208 INR. After long discussion, he asked me to pay around 400 INR as final settlement.

                                And again, one more idiotic mail from AIRTEL side today saying I need to pay 785 INR.

                                PS: I completely understand that it is my fault to go for a service of such a worst company having no standards at all.
                                And yes, AIRTEL MAIL EVEN FAILED TO CLEAR FRAUD DETECTION CHECK FROM MSN!!! (image)

                                  Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

                                  Sir/Madam

                                  1) I bought a Airtel Digital TV with Recorder on June 11th 2010 with one month free subscription. Paid Rs 5000 for the recorder. My Customer ID is [protected]

                                  2) On July 9th 2010 I paid Rs 3030/- for South Mega pack one year subscription. My subscription expires on July 11th 2011 only

                                  3) Eventhough I paid one year subscription in advance I am getting the following message in every 12 to 17 minutes. "My account balance is negative please recharge and if already recharged please ignore" . I can't watch a single program without this message. Sometimes the message appears again if I change the channel.

                                  4. I called the Airtel Dth Customer service (12150) many many times in the last six months to resolve the issue. I got few reference numbers [protected], 10644080...Most of the time the customer service person is not giving reference numbers They are saying just LIVE THIS message. This kind of message being displayed everyday reflects very poorly on the companies image, it becomes a cause of embarrassment if viewing TV with the guests and also is a major irritant.

                                  5. Now a days customer service is disconnecting my phone after couple of minutes. After paying 8030Rs in advance I am getting this poor service from a public service company.

                                  6. Please look into the matter at the earliest. An early action and reply is awaited

                                  Thanks

                                    The support provided by Airtel is frustrating. They claim as one of the best mobile service providers in India but unfortunately the service has deteriorated to worst in past few months/years.

                                    Coming to the point in my case, I am one of the unfortunate Airtel subscribers for Mumbai region. I am in roaming in Delhi and once you are in roaming Airtel disables your messaging facility. I had few urgent messages to sent and tried to call multiple numbers to fix the problem/restriction which is a big hassle. I called 121 and then the customer care representative couldn't help me as I was told to call in Maharashtra region for the same. I dialed in another number for Maharshtra number, then going through all the options (press 1..2..9 blah blab blah) the call got disconnected when it was about to reach customer care after 10 minutes. Then next time my luck was with me and somehow got hold of the customer care representative after 8 mins. Let me make it clear that i was in roaming was being charged under roaming call for all this. But the guy again asked me to call on another number for Mumbai. Then whole process started again.

                                    I already spent around Rs 30-40 without any outcome. I gave up and decided not to call anymore as seems Airtel is using all this process bar to maximize its profits or what..still not able to figure out.

                                    I know the golden days for Mobile service providers have gone but still companies like Airtel will degrade its service to such a low level was unexpected.

                                    Thanks for NOT so quick response.
                                    Fortunately i got a call from customer care today but the issue remain unresolved as whatever settings were recommended those were already in place.

                                    Is there any estimated time of fix I can rely upon.

                                    Thanks,

                                        Address: Maharashtra

                                        I have been in possession of the Airtel number [protected] for more than 3.5 years now.
                                        Recently I have been out of Maharashtra state for 4-5 months and have not been making calls using this number. This airtel number had been recharged by me with a validity till end of December 2010. When in November i switched on this number I was getting incoming messages. Yet when I landed in Mumbai yesterday 5th December 2010, I haven't been able to use this number nor been able to contact the customer care.
                                        today on contacting the local relationship centre I was informed that the number has been deleted.

                                        My questions:
                                        1) When i had recharged my number with a validity till late December 2010 HOW can Airtel delete the number.
                                        2) the customer relationship assistant says that i have to recharge or make a call once every month. i want to ask that why should I be subjected to these restrictions.

                                        Solution I expect from Airtel:
                                        I expect to get my number back at the earliest.

                                        Even i have the same problem, they have deleted my number [protected] for non usage of more then 3 monts, while i did not use in only for 84 days. I am using my number for more then 5 years and having validity till 2012. How can Airtel can do that to every body. I have my mobile number to every document, banking details, Resume details. It is affecting me.

                                        What Airtel is doing in order to reslove this problem. I have seen Airtel has done to many customers. I request to Airtel company to look into this issue and reslove it ASAP.

                                        Thanks,

                                        Thanks Rakesh, this is the first time i got a decent reply from the Airtel.
                                        Please look into this matter as i am afrid if this number [protected] is launched by Airtel again in market then somebody can buy this number, this will be my huge loss. I request you to please show me a way to get my number back either by reassiging it to me or if this is not possible then i want to buy this number again if it is launch by Airtel.

                                        Thanks,
