      Cust ID - [protected] (Bangalore) - very very bad service - never expected this from Airtel
      I too having a Airtel DTH connection. I took it through the offer Rs.999/-. I selected south super value pack where they offered 112. I was happy that it had all the malayalam channels and one top up which i can select from the list. This list had Tamil, Kannada and Telugu. I was using it for around four months and one day i was not able to see few malayalam channels. I called up the Customer care and they said the channels which i am referring is part of malayalam top up. I could not understand and went and looked at the web site there it had 107 channels only instead of 112. I got what they did - they just removed few malayalam channels and created a new top up and says i have to pay for it. I told them that this is not what they offered me when i took this connection and how can u change it. But customer care guys were smart and says it is only having 107 channels. I got to escalate this issue to Airtel but i got it fixed twice but it goes back to the old situation again after a month. At this point i am not using it... don t waist your time with this CC guys. and all south indians go for Sun Direct where all the major channels are free... please find attached brochure where they offered me 112 channels including malayalam. Dont take airtel dth - they will change the plan or remove any channel with out any notification on your cost.

      Hi,
      I bought the airtel digital TV on 14th Jan. Soon two persons from airtel visited my place and installed the DTH equipment and asked me to activate my account after 24 hrs. of installation. And i did the same on 15th Jan but the IVRS said the activation voucher i am using is invalid (i am 100% sure of entering correct PIN no.). So i raised a service request to the customer care service on that day itself. The customer care executive said that they'll look into the issue and resolve the issue as soon as possible and set 20th Jan as deadline to resolve the issue, he also promised that the services will not be blocked as the service request has been raised. He also took the Serial no. and PIN no. from me for reference. I believed the same and was in hope the services will not be affected. But on 18th Jan the services were blocked quoting negative balance. I tried calling customer care center many times but it returned no solution to the issue. Even now the service request is open and has not been solved. Clearly Airtel doesn't know the meaning of the word "deadline". From a customer point of view its is very simple, airtel company has received a sum of Rs 2500/- from my side and yet i am unable to get the services that i was promised. Airtel has failed completely to deliver what it had promised. Also they have no meaning for the word customer satisfaction, so i suggest my peers not to go for Airtel Digital TV as it gives u the "worst" services(worse than u can ever imagine). Tata Sky is the best in the market.
      Friend, if you want any action, mention your Customer ID number.
      Hi,

      I have a airtel digital tv at my home, I want to add "ESPN PLUS" top up to my account. Which can be done only through customer care executive. But after calling in servise center the call is not transfering to customer care executive. I have tried many time in last three days but the result is same.

      This is a Shame full for such a big "AIRTEL" network in India.

      My name is Rahul Sharma but I am registering this complain on behalf of my father.
      We have Airtel DTH set top box at my home and its not working from 20/11/2009.
      My father has registered five complaints (Customer ID No: [protected] ) for this problem:

      complaint nos 1575391,1571934,1589265,1607486,1610623
      but there's no response from the company, they haven't send any service engg and now whenever my father try to call on toll free no. of their customer care, guess what ... most of the time they don't even pick the phone or they just cut the line.
      (And this a/c has been recharged with 500/- on 3rd Dec 2009)

      Airtel has the worst service and their service centers are filled with lazy people who dont even try to listen to customer complaints.

      I need solution of this problem asap.

      I am really having bad timings with Airtel Digital TV, I had problem with my settop box, and had reaised complaint. The customer care suggested that it will be taken care withing 24 hours. Since then its 15 days now every day I am calling to customer care and they have same answer that our engineer will visit me in a day but still it didnt got solved.

      I am a part of gujarat region and custome care guy given me head of gujarat technical service number :[protected] but that number no one replies ( Not a surprise for me )...

      I am so angry that want to throw out the set to box .. . and suggest every one to NEVER BUY AIRTEL DIGITAL TV
      I completely empathise with you...I had a similar issue...We haven’t been receiving any reception from Airtel DG TV since 20th March, 2010. Today is the 4th day of the issue persisting. Inspite of repeated calls to Airtel's customer support team we have not been honored with a single technical support visit. In my last call to Airtel last night, Airtel's senior customer support representative has assured me that Airtel cannot promise anything least a technical support rep at the earliest nor that I will receive the reception again today from Airtel which has been very heart warming. It has reinstated the effectiveness of Airtel DG's service. I would agree with your suggestion to all of NOT subscribing to AIRTEL DIGITAL...
      My name is Pragyan Behera but I am registering this complain on behalf of my father.
      We have airtel DTH setbox and its remote has stopped functioning.After registering a complain in the toll free number they registered a complain and provided a local contact number on 5/6/10.The remote was replaced on 6/6/10 but after 2 days all the keys stopped working again.The remote worth Rs 150 stopped working after 2 days and then again we registerd a complain on 8/6/10.They local number and the toll free number customer service has dissappointed alot.They had misguided us and now dnt let us speak to the technician also.As per the complain it was said that the problem will be solved on 9/6/10 before 12:05pm at the afternoon.Its is so digusting that after calling for more than 20 times they are not able to communicate properly and are giving us false timing.The service is horrible and more than that they cheat.A new remote stopped functioning within 2 days.The a/c has been recharged with Rs 600.It is horrible and too poor.
      Airtel has the worst service and their service centers are filled with lazy people who dont even try to listen to customer complaints.

      I am using Airtel Digital TV. All the channels except ‘100’ are showing error code 2 with the message “the card is invalid”. My account balance is 1000+. From past 4 days i was calling the customer care those people are asking me to repeat the same steps ...remove...wipe the card ...insert and restart again . I told them that in previous calls they made me to do the same thing. No way they made repeat the same steps. After 3 calls they registered a complaint. They said the engineer will be there in 24 hrs. Since 3 days the same statement is repeating. When i ask them to connect to their supervisor their tone becomes harsh. Ridiculous service.

        Hi,

        I hold a valid Airtel number - [protected] since May 2010 in Noida on my behalf only. Lately I have found that on account of "Hello tunes" or other fraud services, Airtel is deducting money from my prepaid balance. Most astonishingly the deduction comes automatically without even asking me whether I want it or not. They always keep sending unwanted messages which I don't even check at all. In one of such messages it is written that "Rs 30 have been deducted from your account on activation of hello tunes" which I never subscribed at all. In the recent incident I recharged my mobile on 3rd Dec, 2010 with Rs 50/= top-up (i.e., a prepaid balance of Rs 42) and despite not making even a single call or any other usage of phone, my balance today is zero on 13th December. I had several messages in my INBOX, in which one of the messages read as above "Rs 30 + Rs 10" have been deducted for "hello tunes" which I never subscribed at all. This is complete fraud service run by AIRTEL and I'm very sure that many innocent users are being charged falsely in a similar way. To top this situation, the most disgusting of all this service is the fact that I can't even talk to the "Customer care"in this case because it says that have insufficient balance to talk to the customer care. Imagine a situation when I had trusted of my balance and I needed to make an urgent call to customer care for some help,I would be left with no choice but to suffer at Airtel's cheating service.

        Please address this issue at the earliest and I wish that a govt. law should enforce strict measures against these service providers for doing any unauthorized deduction from the account of a user. Hope to get the justice at the earliest.

        Thanks & Regards,

        Airtel Connection — deduction of money from my account

        On 7th March I received a message on my mobile that VAS package is activated on my mobile and Rs 99/- has been deducted from my account. But I did not subscribed for that.

Now, when I try to talk to customer care executive everytime they disconnect my call. I sent so many e-mails at [protected]@airtelindia.com but everytime I get recorded messaage taht within 72 hrs we will rectify it but nothing happens till now.

        Airtel Prepaid with Airtel Live — Deduction of money without download

        Quite often, I get Airtel service messages though I do not subsribe for those. Sometimes I click on the gmae related messages to retrieve and to my horror, money gets deducted from my prepaid account with an SMS saying "thanks for downloading java games and you have been deducted Rs. 50-/- " (at times Rs. 99). The worst part is that I have not downloaded anything at all and a call to customer care never helps.

        Don't know how to resolve this.
        These buggers steal, give our numbers to other advertisers and send loads of junk messages. !

        Dear and Respected Sir/Madam,

        I am a septugenarian having one Airtel lifetime connection that I continue to utilize as and when required.

        I gather that every month an amount of Rs.30/-(Thirty only) is being deducted from my account.I fail to understand why this amount is being deducted as because I have never ventured to avail any kind of facilities that calls for charges other than talktime.

        Kindly help me get rid of this unnecessary deduction.

        Thanking you,

        Yours faithfully,

        Dear Sir,

        This is to inform you that I have a prepaid mobile connection from Airtel No. [protected]. Lately from 26th August 2009 I am having a problem with the balance on my account. My account is debited continuously on account of downloading songs and Subscribing to Hello Tunes without my knowledge or consent. I have never ever subscribed to Hello Tunes or downloaded any song on my number but these are getting activated on my number continuously. The sequence of events is as follows:

        1. On 26th August 09 Bal on my mobile was Rs 114.79. At around 09.15 pm I received two sms stating that my acct has been debited Rs 15/- and Rs 30/- on for subscription to Hello Tunes and downloading song which I had never subscribed for. This brought my balance down to Rs 69.79. I spoke to Mr. Rahul at your Customer Service Dept at around 09.30 pm and he informed that this was happening due to technical error at your end; He also agreed to refund the debited amount back. The transaction Id for this was [protected]. He also deactivated the services of hello tunes after I tols him that this was activated without my consent or knowledge and I do not require these services.

        2. On 27th August 09 my account was again debited for Rs 62/- for subscription to Hello tunes and downloading songs again without my knowledge and consent. This brought my balance down to Rs 7.79. I spoke to Mr. Ankit at your customer service dept at approx 11.00 am and he refunded back Rs 47/- online. Ref Id for this is [protected]. The balance was 54.79 now. I received a call from your airtel assuring that the balance amount of Rs 60/- will also be refunded approx around 12.35 am. Ankit confirmed he is deactivating the services of hello tunes from his end and I would not face any problems later.

        3. Again on 27th August 09 my account got further debited for Rs 25/- at around approx 2.45 pm for subscription to Hello tunes and downloading songs again without my knowledge and consent bringing my balance down to 29.79. I spoke to Ms Bhavna at your customer service dept from your GK II Outlet and she refunded back Rs 30/- approx around 3.45 pm. bringing the balance upto 59.79.

        4. Again at around 4.30 pm on 27th August 09 there was a further deduction of Rs 45/- for subscription to Hello tunes and downloading songs again without my knowledge and consent bringing my balance down to 14.79. I spoke to Mr Vinod at Customer Service Dept at around 6.50 pm the ref id for this is[protected].He also promised that he is deactivating the services of hello tunes.

        5. In the morning of 28th Aug 09 I spoke to Mr. Akshan at customer service at around 10.15 am regarding deductions due to Hello Tune Preview Manager. He transferred the call to Mr. Tauseef who once again confirmed that Rs 60/- will be refunded on 28th August 09 and ref id for this is [protected]. He also agreed to refund Rs 45/- online. I told him there is no point since it will again get debited within 20 - 30 minutes automatically for this hello tune service and downloading songs again without my knowledge and consent. He assured it would not happen since he is deactivating the services. He also confirmed refunds will be done on 28th August 09 and ref id for this is [protected].

        6. On 28th August refund of Rs 60/- was done by Airtel and I received a call at 01.20 pm for the same. I spoke to Mr. Rajesh Chauhan at your Customer Service at around 8.30 pm and got a refund of Rs 40/- . Ref Id for the same is [protected].



        7. On 29th August 09 there was deductions once again on my account due to activation of News Pack once again without my knowledge or consent. I spoke to Mr. Mumtaz and Mr. Naren regarding this at around 9.45 am. They registered me once again for DO NOT DISTURB SERVICE although I had previously registered for it. I spoke to Mr. Sameer who is a Floor Incharge at your Customer Service and he refunded back the amount debited. The ref id for this is[protected]. This refunded brought my account balance to the correct amount.

        8. But unfortunately again on the morning of 06th Sept 09 I found money deducted from account for subscribing to Pre Listen options once again without my knowledge and consent. I spoke to Mr. Shahbaz regarding this. The complaint id for this is[protected]. Again in the afternoon at around 2.00 pm there were further deductions and that is when I decided to visit your Gurgaon Sahara Mall Customer Service to sort this inspite of being very busy. I visited your Office at Sahara Mall and by then I found out there had been further continuous deductions on my acct when I checked my balance bringing my acct balance to Rs 9.79. In fact my balance got deducted while I was in your office in front of your personnel and I showed it to them. They could not give me any satisfactory solution to why this was happening automatically. I met Mr. Mohnish there and he refunded back Rs 100/- on my account saying that Airtel Live is getting activated in my acct. he also confirmed that he is deactivating the Services which were active and also showed me message regarding
        that. There were no further deductions on 06th Aug 09 or 7th August Morning and Afternoon. I MUST POINT OUT HERE THAT THROUGHOUT THIS DURATION THE MOBILE WAS CONSTANTLY WITH ME AND SWITCHED OFF IN THE NIGHT OF 06TH AUG AND 07TH AUG. Again on 08th Aug morning I get a sms saying that Rs 15/- has been further deducted for downloading some song which I am not aware of without my knowledge and consent. I spoke to Mr Mohnish who had given me his mobile number [protected] and works at your Sahara Mall Outlet. He told me to contact Customer Service to speak regarding this. I called Customer Service at 10.10 am on 08th September 09 and spoke to Mr. Abhijit who confirmed that Airtel Live Services were still active on my acct inspite of Mr. Mohnish deactivating them on 06th Sep. And I had not subscribed for any AIRTEL ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND NEITHER DO I WISH TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THESE. Mr. Abhijit confirmed that this is happening due to technical fault at your end and agreed to refund the money that had got debited. The ref id for this is 08119275. I also spoke to Mr. Mohnish once again regarding this who insisted that this was happening due to my fault.

        I am requesting you to kindly look into this matter and solve this once and for all because I am sick and tired of calling your Customer Service every second day regarding this and not getting any permanent solution about this. There is no point you refunding me the money and it again getting debited automatically. Hence I request you to kindly investigate my case with your Technical Department and give me a solution to this. I have been unable to contact your Technical Department inspite of trying numerous times. If you are unable to offer me a solution to this then I will be left with no other option but to cancel and discontinue my all other AIRTEL connections eg. Other mobile, landlines and Broadband.

        I hope you will look into this matter and offer me a solution.

        Since July 2009 I have found that some amount is deducted regularly from my prepaid balance. My mobile no. is [protected]. On complaining to 121 I get the reply that some service is started on my mobile . I have never requested for any service any time. This has happened 4 times in last four months. The Airtel supervisor from cusomer service manages to refund the deducted money but the problem of deduction continued . Kindly do the needful so that the unnecessary deduction stops for ever.

        AirTel — Unauthorized deduction of Money

        Hi,

        Wanted to repost some serious Matter regarding the Unauthorized deduction of money from my Prepaid account. The deduction which does not even get recorded in their Bill


        This is a Problem I have been facing for the last 3 Months.

        I had switched from postpaid to prepaid connection 3 months (October 2nd) back and had availed Rs. 399 Plan Blackberry with unlimited Internet. The switching itself was a Very Painful incident which had to be sorted out with the intervention of the Nodal Officer, however this issue is not pertaining to it.

        Few Days after this transition was done from Postpaid to Prepaid, mysteriously 30ps every half hour, Started getting deducted from my account. I called the Call center and as usual they were useless, then I mailed the Nodal officer, they replied stating I had used airtel live, I replied stating that I never subscribed for airtel live and moreover I pay Rs. 399 every month for BB internet.

        They acknowledged their mistake and credited back some Rs. 23 (I am not sure if I received that also), and promised that I will not be charged henceforth and also asked me to deactivate by sending SMS to 121. I did that and also got a reply that it’s been successfully deactivated.

        However the problem persisted and I started losing cash again (Post deactivating) and this time even faster (till today close to Rs. 500), I mailed the Nodal officer and have not got any reply for the last 2 weeks. However I am continuing to lose cash even now, and it has already put me in a lot of inconvenience.

        Finally i had mailed the Applet officer and i got a reply that nothing is getting deducted and also they said that nothing is there in the Bill, That made me even more suspicious, So i asked them to send me the bill and then came a reply that i need to pat Rs. 50 for every month's Bill. i got furious, Why should i pay money to Airtel to point out their mistake, Finally after a lot of fighting they agreed to credit Rs.150 to get the 3 months Bill.

        I got the Bill and then made my own analysis and Guess what i found, Airtel has deducted Rs. 568 till Dec 31st.

        I mailed this workings to the Applet officer and they have NOT BOTHERED TO GET BACK TO ME.

        I am left without any option but to take the legal recourse!!

        Could you Help.

        P.S - I am also attaching the file containing the workings.

        AirTel — Unauthorized money deduction

        I never download anything from the stupid airtel website or use any sms services, then why am i charged rs20 and rs15 today and last month? I just get messages about weekly sub, tadkalive and java game download and the balance is gone. I don't even visit the airtel website.This is unbearable now, either you people correct this, that is stop deducting money unnecessarily or else i'll see to it that none my friends or relatives uses airtel ever again. My number is [protected].

        Airtel — Unauthorized Money Deductions

        Airtel did not ask to give me World Cup updates and start deducting money from my account and very bad customer service, because they call 25 times a day to their advertisements, but they take money to listen to their customer's problems. Very dis satisfied with the service.

        Airtel Prepaid — unauthorized deduction of money

        Airtel has a tendency to deduct the money without asking consumer whether he asked for service or not. I am KS Shukla mobile No. [protected] Recharged my account with Rs. 444/- , by seeing the money in my account this airtel started its business and deducted RS. 15 for blog amitabh as it has done earlier also. Kindly ask them to return my money deducted for the services I never opted for, Thanks
        My mobile No. is [protected]. This has taken place with regard to me also. On 11 May 11, airtel deducted Rs. 15/- towards Amitabh blog whereas I did not opt for the same. When I took this matter with airtel, incompetent people sitting in call centres raised their hands. They told me that I should talk to nodal officer and money will be charged towards this. For Rs. 15/-, at least Rs. 10/- will be charges while talking to him. What a rationale ?
        My mobile No is [protected].Even after number of compliant to customer care.I have been charged 10 rupees for unwanted services like romance pack etc.On 18.4.2011 i was charged 10 rupee for romance pack, Again On 28.4.2011 i was charged and On 8.5.2011 I had conversation with nathan (customer care representative) regarding this.Again on 18.5.2011 i have charged Rs 10 for tis service.I never subcribed any pack even once so if these continues i like to withdraw from airtel and chosse any other operator.

        Airtel — UNAUTHORIZED DEDUCTION OF MONEY BY AIRTEL

        Sir,
        I have been repeatedly charged rs30/Month for "hello tunes" service and "airtel friendz

        chat" for the past one month(about 3 times in my mobile number [protected] and many times in

        my father's mobile number [protected]).The service gets automatically activated without our

        consent.Some of the ways include :

        1)an automated call from airtel advertising about hello tunes.Even if we cut the call the

        service gets activated and rs30 is charged.
        2)an sms from airtel informing us of airtel friendz chat activation and that we have been

        charged for the service.

        This is an outrageous behaviour and I demand that my money be refunded and further

        compensation paid for the frustation and agitation caused by this.

        They should be punished heavily for harassment.
        Is there a way to collectively lodge a complaint against such companies??

        Airtel — unauthorized money deduction

        Airtel activated 2 services on my mobile, without my concern, when I ask them they said that it was activated from automated tele call . I haven't activated any service and they are deducting money from my balance and charging me for service which I have not activated and used.

              There is a financial fraud group called gclub.in. Whenever you browse in your mobile, or play games you may see a advertisement scroll text saying for Rs.99 games gclub. Dont even try to click it ! If you click, you will be subscribed automatically with X amount and they will send you an sms saying Rs.99 deducted for downloading the games. Thats not at all. Without doing anything, you will again receive sms saying you have downloaded some stupid games and again charged Rs.99.

              Airtel seems to be supporting this Fraud. I expect 30-40 crore rupees of money is being looted by Airtel and Gclub.

              I am planning to sue them. Be aware of this guys. This is in the name of TadkaLive Service.

              My name is Aravind, I am using a postpaid connection with Airtel TN-Chennai region, One or twice in a month i m getting a message from TadkaLive. I dont know how is he or why is he sending message to me. I have never downloaded any games or played any games.

              I called Airtel customer care for the details after receiving the message. He mentioned I have not activated any service with the name TadkaLive, So i will not be charged.

              This is ridiculous! I was shocked on seeing my postpaid bill. That they have charged me 40 rp (+ 10% tax + 3% on the tax amount). And this has happened for 2-3 months continually. Airtel along with TadkaLive is Making Fraud. They are looting my money, without any usage. I m definitely would sue them, Make them pay for it in court.

              Details of my postpaid Bill Fraud: (Under the heading SMS - Others)

              SMS - Others:
              29/Nov/2010 04:05:17 Text Serv_TadkaLive 1 20.00

              I have just mailed you. Again the ghost has returned. Same issue again. Kindly reply.
              yes, this is true with me also. i have not downloaded any games and i have been charged 99/- from airtel stating that i have downloaded tadka live games. this is a big fraud between airtel and tadkalive.if this continues there will be no customers remain for airtel.need to take action against this.

                  WE ARE GREETED EVERYWHERE WUTH HUGE NEWSPAPER ADS AND HOARDINGS AND WHEN WE CALL THE AIR TEL NUMBER WE ARE GREETED WITH A NICE MELODY TOO.

                  BUT THERE ENDS THE MATTER AND THE NIGHTMARE FOR THE CONSUMER BEGINS.

                  WE HAVE A 2 MBPS BROADBAND CONNECTION, HOWEVER THE NET CONNECTION IS SLOWER THAN A SNAIL.

                  WHEN WE CALL 121 WE ARE TOLD TO CALL 198 AND WHEN WE CALL 198 WE ARE TOLD TO CALL 121. THIS IS PERHAPS THE DIRTIEST TRICK THAT ANYONE CAN PLAY ON A CUSTOMER.

                  I AM CERTAIN THAT MY COMPLAINT WILL NOT BE ATTENDED TO IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS
                  OR EVEN MONTHS BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BILLING AIRTEL IS THE FIRST TO MAKE REMINDER
                  CALLS !!!

                  CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO TAKE THIS MATTER UP WITH THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES ?

                  CAN ANYONE FORWARD THIS COMPALINT OF MINE TO SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE IN AIRTEL ?

                        Pathetic Service by Airtel Digital TV

                        Recently I shifted to Mira Road (Happy Home heights – Poonam Garden), I called the Airtel executive (Pravin -[protected]) from Kaushik Enterprise (Andheri) and gave him 1590 Rs in one condition i.e. the connection will be done on the same day within 3 hrs. Pravin called his office and talked to Kavita [protected] ….Kavita assured me it will be done today in any condition.

                        As soon as Pravin left my place both pravin & kavita were not picking my calls, I called them 34 times yesterday. The Reason I was very irritated that Kavita/Pravin were not picking my Calls……….. I am aware Airtel takes 24hrs to provide the connection but my deal was done with a prior commitment of 3 hrs, Either the false commitment should not have been made or the connection should have been done. Atleast Kavita should have told me that it cannot be done today – Not picking the call is not right…Also they told me I would be given 18meters of wire , however today morning when a Airtel engineer called me & told me that I would be given only 15 meters as I come under Tier 1…whom should I believe Kavita or the engineer ???

                        Not answering to customers after taking the money is not good; this is one of my worst experiences with Airtlel Digital.
                        Making wrong commitments is not good service, indirectly these executives are spoiling the company’s brand name
                        Which information is correct, 18meter wire or 15meter?

                          Dear Sir,
                          I, NEMANI SATYA SRINIVAS, Mobile No.[protected] purchased at SANGEETHA -Amalapuram one month back and submitted my id proof, ad proof & Photograph. In the 1st week of December, my incoming and outgoing calls have been stopped and advised by the Airtel Customer Care to submit the proof docs again.
                          On 5th December, 2010, I have submitted the documents at Sangeetha Mobile Office, Amalapuram again as the Airtel Office people have rejected to take the proof documents since the Sangeetha People are purchasing the SIMs from your Airtel Office, Himayatnagar, Hyderabad.
                          Afterwards, I am regularly following up with your customer care people to activate my mobile by wasting my money, time etc., but in vain.
                          I hope you do not harass the customer and will do the needful immediately as I am suffering a lot by facing the communication problem.

                          Regards,

                          N.S.SRINIVAS.

                            respected sir,

                            I hv a complaint about Airtel services. I had changed my card many times. because each time they deduced some amount (unnecessarily) from my main balance. and if you called a customer care, then they keep telling dat "madam u must have activated some sevices dats y its happening" . and if you agreed(even if its not yur mistake ) and if you ask them to deactivate they will never do so.finally we need to quit all mater by throwing the Sim card in dustbin. it happened with my frnds also.

                            AirTel — Un necessary charges deducted

                            Dear Team,

                            The customer care is not giving any satisfactory answer's. I am fad up with the charges. I have not activated any new service and same has been accepted from your call center and they have return back 20 rs in my account but still daily they are deducting 20 rs.

                            I want a quick solution for it. As i am unable to visit your customer care center many times. I am physically chellenged person. Working in MNC.

                            Please solve my issue. Rgds

I tryied so many times to talk with customer care executive but their service is so poor that i am not able to talk with them. On the whole i want my money back.

                                I opted for an Airtel Broadband connection and so i contacted the Airtel Marketing personal for connection. I paid him the amount as required by the plan for which i opted but somehow it couldn't get installed at my place and so i decided to cancel the registration and wanted my money to be refunded. But till date the money has not been refunded. I lodged a complain to the customer care executive and he told me that my cancellation request was submitted on[protected] and that my money will be refunded within 15 days from than. But now its almost a month and money has not been refunded.
                                I am very upset with their service and i just want to know how long will it take for my money to come to me.

                                I got Airtel postpaid connection before 1 week, this offer is received from our reception [Keane Inc] since there is an outstanding issue with simcard i dint use the simcard for a day.

                                To be frank i dint get hold of the simcard from the seller so probably i planned to get back my deposit amount so please help out to get back my deposit.

                                Please help me to resolve this.

                                I had booked airtel digital tv via telephone and had later made the full payment through credit card.Later on I found out that in my building we are not allowed to install any dth dish.When I contacted airtel they told me that as the digital tv was not installed I wouldd get the full money back.I provided them with various information about my connection then I was informed via phone and email that my money would be credited to my account in 7 days.2 weeks passed nothing happened.So I again complained and I had to go through the whole procedure again.Again on sunday 26/11/10 I was informed that my money would be credited in 1 week,but till date nothing has happened.So last night i mailed them that I am going to the consumer court regarding the same,but got no response.Their customer care executives just kept on saying that they are forwarding my complaint.I am tired of this drama,so I contacted my lawyer who told me to put up my complaint over here.He told me if they dont reply in 1 day I should go ahead with suing airtel.I a surprised to see such careless attitude of airtel.I warn every1 never book airtel digital tv I am also considering cancelling my airtel broadband after all this is over.

                                It is booked in the name of Mayur Selani. Customer id-[protected]. Alternate contact no-[protected]
                                You should go ahead with suing them only then they will learn
                                well, that's bad for AirTel, i've always have expreicned good customer service from AirTel, but such type of incidents is real bad for such high reputed companies.

                                Let us know when Airtel gave you money back.

                                i had recharged my assam's prepaid sim with rs100 on 23rd of june wen i was in sikkim but i didn't get any talktime....though i received the message that my account had been recharged...
                                our airtel complaint no. 1875866/application no. 263224

                                We have applied for airtel broadband on 7th july 2011 to one of the airtel executive and paid Rs. 500/- on the same day. He told that some new server upgradation is going on, so you will be getting the connection on 11/7/2011 and out going calls will be activated from 15/07/2011. On 11th we called that executive Mr. Shivakumar regarding this and we were informed that still the process is going on, please wait for 2 days. Again after 2 days we called him, he told still it will take 2 more days and he will come and do the installation after 2 days. We waited then made a call again to him, he said some its over, our engineer will come today evening by 4 to 5 pm and do the installation. He didnt come. Next day we called and enquired about this, he said I am outside the office, after reaching I will check with the engineer and will give you a call. We waited. But no call. Then we called on the same day evening by 4 pm, he told he is on the way, he will be there by 6 pm. He didnt come. We called Mr. Shivakumar but he didnt pick his phone. Next day again we called, for 2 to 3 days he didnt attend our call. Then I think he forgot our number, so he attended the call on the fourth day by mistake. Then we asked him, why you are fooling us like this, he said no, defenitely tomorrow you will be getting it. Till 22nd this game was goi ng. Then we called airtel customer care and checked with the application no., and came to know that our application was rejected due to the reason that there is no feasibility in our area to connect airtel broadband (Mathikere, Bangalore) on 16/07/2011 and your amount will be refunded by way of cheque by courier within 10 working days from the date of rejection.
                                We waited upto 26/07/2011, we have not received the cheque. Then next day we called customer care and again gave all the details, they said the same details, and cheque will be sent to you.

                                After that on 28th July 2011, we called Mr. Shivakumar and asked about our application status. He said tomorrow the engineer will be coming and installing. We got frustrated with the airtel services and shouted him that yoiu are lying us, already we got the information from the customer care that it was rejected. Then he said no I have reapplied again for that connection with my own money, you can give me back after receiving your cheque from our company. Again we waited, but no use.

                                Then we called the customer care and spoken with Mr. Manjunath, manager, he said the same answer after half an hour discussing the big story as detailed above and with 8 to 10 working days you will be getting the cheque and disconnected the phone in the middle of the conversation. We waited till 16th August 2011, no response from the airtel, no cheque. 16th evening we called the customer care and gave the complaint no, they told please call after 2 hours as the server is down, we cant download your application. Then today i.e. 17th august we called one Ms. swetha attended the call and told that they could not trace the details of our application, we got angry and asked her to connect to the manager, but she said line is busy I will ask him to call you back, but we refused that and asked to connect her manager, but he connected to another executive Shiva, he again said that you will be getting a phone call from our manager within 2 hrs, i.e. now the time is 10.15 before 12.15 and if you didnt receive any call you can call to the direct no. [protected] to make a complaint. But we havent received any call from teh manager or even from the customer care. We called to the given no. to make a complaint buit no body was there to attend the call. We are verymuch disappointed with the airtel.

                                Is there any possibilty to get our refund amount back at any cost or it is waste of money, time and energy.

                                After making so many calls from mobile to airtel boradband customer care landline[protected], and wasting so much money only we are making the compliant.

                                Please help us.

                                our complaint no. 1875866/application no. 263224
                                When money is to be refunded it takes ages and can't part easily especially if it is others money. Been speaking to Airtel for a refund of Rs 955 for last 4 months. Each time they tell cheque sent by courier and addressee not found. Can't understand why only the Airtel courier does not get the addressee but every other snail mail gets delivered correctly without fail
                                With referrence to the above email we have sent our contact numbers on 25th August Month. This is once again I am forwarding the contact numbers :[protected] /9611/940976.
                                nothing has been done 10 days over- We have already given our contact details. still no response.

                                our complaint no. 1875866/application no. 263224
                                I booked for airtel broadband connection in June 2011 and paid Rs.999. Without checking the possibility for broadband connection, the team got the amount. Then, the unit said that in the particular area, the connection could not been made and hence it was cancelled


                                I have received the cheque for the refund of amount Rs.999 for cancellation of broadband just 10 days back (During the 1st week of October), in which the name is printed as R. Govindanayagi instead of P. Govindanayagi. I made again a complaint immediately to solve the problem and resend the cheque for amount Rs. 999 with correct name. I have not received any response from the airtel still now.
                                I have port out of Airtel number [protected] to Vodafone. As per their bill after port out indicates refund of Rs.268. As per Airtel it will take 60 days.

                                I fail to under stand that if my bill is pending after port out, it has to be paid immediately while refund they say 60 days. Please explain.
                                Hi,

                                I got my Airtel HD TV connection disconnected on 15th Nov and I am yet to receive any update on my Refund. Everytime I call Airtel at 12150, they escalate my call and nothing happens after that. 'its been almost a month but no go.

                                on 24th of Jan 13, we had requested for Landline + broadband connection with Airtel and filled the form & gave 2 cheques for Rs. 2600/- & 3500/-. But after 3 days we got a call from Airtel, saying no feasibility, hence no connection can be given they said and we lost the form in the process of shifting the office. But for our surprise the cheque bearing number 431692 issued in favor of Bharti Airtel Ltd for rs. 2600/- got cleared from our account on 14.02.13. When we approached customer care for refund they said without form refund cannot be done. Now our concern is without being able to provide services, how can a company like Airtel can withdraw amount and how can they say without form they cannot refund? Pls take a complaint and get us the refund at the earliest with nominal interest charged.
                                THIS REFUND PENDING FOR 6 MONTHS

                                  Got a call from [protected] that my mobile number has been selected/won a cash pize for a for an amount of 10.5 Lacs and person was speaking in Hindi and congratulated 3-4 times and asked what's the account number the money can be transferred.

                                  These guys are in a way tarnishng the Image of Airtel by using there name. Hope Airtel makes right move to stop these spurious calls or may be track and ban calls originating from these numbers.

                                    Sir,
                                    I have two prepaid mobiles bearing no [protected] and [protected] since @ 10 years back. I have submitted all necessary documents for both the numbers as required for verification by Airetl services on 4th Dec 2010 at my nearest airtel outlet M/s S S Telesolutions Pvt Limited Khamla Square Khamla Nagpur 25.
                                    I was relieved with tension that no calls for further verification shall be received but in fact I am receiving the calls to submit the documents again and again since last two days. I have personally visited again to my nearest airtel outlet and received a reply that we shall resend your documents again!
                                    Please see that I am not given a ring to submit the documents again when I have promptly submitted the same.
                                    Thanks for your services till to date.
                                    Yours

                                      they have deducted the amount but balance not credited.
                                      I got a message even regd the transaction successful from Airtel.
                                      Even after talking to customer support team, they are not returning the amount yet.
                                      Request for your help to get my amount back and stop this fraud.

                                      Thanks,
                                      Rambabu K
