Airtel Prepaid Mobile Connection — SUBSCRIPTION OF CALLER TUNE WITHOUT SUBSCRIBING IT

RESPECTED SIR,

I'M HAVING A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH " AIRTEL" IN KOLKATA. MY CELL PHONE NO:[protected] IS IN OPERATION FROM LAST 4 YEARS WITH LIFETIME VALIDITY.

SIR, WHEN EVER MY BALANCE IS MORE THAN RS 30-35/- , THE COMAPNY AUTOMATICALLY SUBSCRIBE MY NUMBER FOR CALLER TUNE AND DEDUCT MY BALANCE. WHEN I CALL THE CUSTOMER CARE AND ASK THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE, THEY SIMPLY BLAME US ( THE SUBSCRIBER) FOR MAKING THE MISTAKE FROM OUR SIDE.....

SIR, WE ARE EDUCATED PEOPLE AND KNOW HOW TO OPERATE A CELL PHONE..... SO HOW CAN THESE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXECUTIVES BLAMES US.....

AND THIS PROBLEM IS NOT HAPPENS FOR 1st TIME, I HV BEEN SUFFERING THIS PROB VERY OFTEN, WHICH FORCES ME TO LODGE A COMPLAIN IN CONSUMER FORUM...

CALLER TUNE IS AN ADD-ON SERVICE AND ANY CELL PHONE HOLDER IS NOT FORCED TO SUBSCRIBE THIS SERVICE..... LIKE ME, MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD BEEN SUFFERING FROM THIS FORCEFULL SUBSCRIPTION AND LOSING THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY WITHOUT THEIR FAULTS.

BEING A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY.....SIR, I EXPECT A SOONER AND STRONG ACTIONS WOULD BE TAKEN FROM THE FORUM TO STOP THIS KIND OF CONSPIRACY & HARRESSMENTS BEING MADE BY CELL PHONE SERVICE PROVIDERS.

Airtel Prepaid Services — Unwanted sms and charging for it.

I am getting regular cricket updates from Airtel prepaid sms services which i never asked for. They are cutting Rs.7per week. I tried to stop. But they don't receive the message deliberately. They send sms from 1210 and the next second when you reply they are not available. All my colleagues in the department also have this problem. This is going on for months. This is cheating in broad day light.
Dr.M.Balamurugan.

Yes it is 100% true. I am also getting regular cricket updates from Airtel prepaid sms services which i never asked for. They are cutting Rs.1 per day. I tried to stop. But they don't receive the message deliberately. They send sms from 1210 and the next second when you reply they are not available. I called costumer care but I didn't get any positive response.

Second problem that I have is one day I found my balance Rs 30 less than it should be and I called costumer care. I talked to Mr Jagmohan, Miss Priyanka (Mohali Chandigar Costumer Care). and I got negative response from both. Mr. Jagmohan was not ready to talk politely. He was talking very rudely.

What I found was I have visited some link related to "webactress" but I haven't visited that link and my cell phone was Nokia 1210 which is not GPRS compatible.


Seriously I am not happy with Airtel service. I am getting disturbed by these irritating sms alerts..

Hello Airtel Customer Service Team, Do you have any answer for this.. write to me on my email thakur.cool.him [at] gmail [dot] com.. hoping for reply soon..

I want to deactivate my services forever is there any way to do this... because I know If in any case my one service get deactivated you will cheat for another and this process will not stop as I am getting problems.

I am also experiencing the same issue, of outgoing calls being barred. In fact, my father who also has a pre-paid connections is getting the same issue. Me and my father have been having the Airtel pre-paid connection for years now! Please note that we have got connection only on submitting all the documents. Why is the verification call coming after such a long time. Something is definitely not right.

Even I am experiencing the same problem. I have been using Airtel for past 5 years after submitting all the documents. I am getting a message that "Sakal dvara jaari kiye gaye Nirdeshanusar aapke Dastavej poore nahi hai?" hence outgoing calls are blocked.

I tried to call customre care and the lady told me to resubmit the documents.

What the hell is this? Why is the verification call coming after such a long time. Something is definitely not right.

i gave address proof but still my outgoing barred is not cleared

Airtel Chennai — False Deduction

Sir,

My AIRTEL Mobile number is [protected] and I am using lifetime incoming free prepaid card.

On 25th Sep’08 at midnight 3.18am I received a SMS from 64611015 AIRTEL number that “Thanks for downloading animation from AIRTEL live WAP service and you have been charged Rs.15/-. This is absolutely ridicules and unacceptable.

This is an example but every time when recharge with top up the amount has been swallowed with some reasons even some time without reasons.

If this is been continuing, I will not go to consumer court but I will change to some other network.

false balance deduction

Complaint Rating:
sir,
iam paluri narayana murthy,
my phone number is [protected]
andhra pradesh
visakhapatnam.
I have not requested for any subscription of any service of funclub. but unnecessarily my Rs10/= per day are deducted from 26th dec till date.Also a message is given to me daily in this meanwhile that "Thanks for subscribing for funclub service. you have been credited Rs.10/=. Enjoy http://m.igfun.com."

unnecessarily my balance is deducted every day and i am facing very inconvenience.

Please do the needful to remedy this problem as soon as possible.

sir/madam

My name is vikas & my mobile no [protected]. there is deduction of 27.21 rs from my mobile on 3rd march 2009 . On talking to custmer care they tell you make a ISD call, but i didn't make any such call.
Please solve my problem.

thanks

my contact no. is [protected] there is deduction from my balance inspite of asking ur customer care to stop job alert services please solve my problem

Hi, The chennai airtel service is very bad, today also they deduct Rs.30/- from my account due to talkies, but i"nt any service. what the next step to stop and recovry it.


my no:[protected]

My airtel number is +[protected] and has been purchased from Siliguri. From the past couple of days there was a Rs 5 (daily) deduction for some VAS called Hungama Videos on Demand and a Rs 1(daily) deduction for job alerts.

I have not activated any such VAS's on my number and was totally unaware about it until 12th June, 2011 when I spoke to a customer care executive about the deduction and she told me it was for some video download and was activated since 21st May , 2011.

I tried explaining her that no such request for activation was made from my end and I have not even utilized the service even once. She told me that all she can do is deactivate, but couldn't reimburse my money back.

I asked her to connect to her senior colleague and upon such a request the call was put on hold for 20 minutes and I was unable to speak to the senior person. After that I tried calling back again and found that I am unable to speak to the customer care executive. I have been polite enough to present my case again and again but there has been complete negligence on their part.

I am writing this mail to you with a hope that some action will be taken from your end and you will ensure that the false deduction is reimbursed back to my account since the amount slowly has increased to approximately Rs. 144 ( 5* 24 + 1*24)

After doing all this , i have waited for two days and still they continue to deduct my balance . Cant even connect to the customer care.

Waiting in anticipation and look forward to some quick action

Nice talking to you Anuarpith. As we stated over the phone, recharge request was
rejected by the Airtel and money transferred back to your ez wallet account. You
can re deem it for any mobile number of your choice.

For rest of the viewers, we glad to say that Mr. Anuarpith is the happy customer o[censored]s

On August 24, 2011 at 08:59 AM, my Delhi mobile no. [protected] was charged through Ezrecharge for talktime of Rs. 1.00 against MRP Rs. 111.00 vide Transaction ID No.[protected]. Further on the same day at 08:27 AM again on recharge of MRP Rs. 200 the same phone was charged by Rs. 1.00 only vide transaction ID no.[protected]. Thus in these two tranctions total Rs.311 has been deducted from my account against the charge of Rs.2 transfered to my mobile. I feels to be cheated and want my additional deducted amount refunded.

Airtel — unwanted services activated and balance deducted

Dear Airtel,
Although i take this oppurtunity to complaint against you, i cannot stop myself from stating how much i like your service. Its just that, there are some silly problems which needs to be taken care of.
From 22/12/2010 to 1/1/2011 i was out of station. During that time, many services got activated on my card without my knowledge. I came to know about them only after i got messages like my balance have been deducted for using so and so services or when i send message LAST to 121. Its very sad to say that although i contacted your customercare several times, i got negative responses or no responses or simply the operator cut the line. I was assured that i would be refunded for all the amounts deducted, but nothing happened further.
I request you to please look into this matter and refund for all the services that got activated on my card for the above said dates.
I am a customer of Airtel for last 5 years, eventhough i have changed sim 3-4 times owing to my transfer to different locations, i have always chose Airtel above all.
I expect that you will strengthen my faith on your company, by doing the needfull. I have never regretted using Airetl card and in future also hope the same continues.

Hi Airtel,
I could not reply to you as i didn't have access to the net for so long. You have told, you will get in touch with me, but nothing like that has happened yet. How can you wait to hear from me when you have urself told that you will get in touch with me. The issue has not been solved yet. Please look into the matter at the earliest and do the needfull. I regret not writing to your email id, this is just to speed up the process.

One more thing ...i forgot to write my number which is having the problem...yet you people assured me of solving the problem without asking my number. I don't understand if the matter was taken seriously or not.
Anyways, the number is [protected].
I expect a positive response.

Thank god, mobile nubmer portability has started ..Now i think i should switch the Airtel card, that is a better option than waiting for your response.

SIR,
I, Kishan Singh Dev Singh Rajput, applied for above connection at my residence and paid Rs.1590/- through my wife Mrs. Godawari Kishan Singh Rajput (UTI)- Axis Bank cheque no. 191791 dt. 5/3/2011. The cheque cleared on 8/3/2011. I am sorry to inform you that despite many time conversation with your local and Delhi based representative, on phone, sms and E-mail, the job has not been done till date.
Please, give necessary instructions to connect the Dish TV connection immediately or refund the amount.

Thanks.

Airtel — automatic activation of world news

MY FATHER IS USING AIRTEL LIFETIME PREPAID CARD. BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT WORLD NEWS PACK IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED ON THE CARD AND THERE IS A DAILY DEDUCTION OF 1 RUPEE. AND EVEN IF I DEACTIVATE THIS PACK, IT GETS ACTIVATED THE NEXT DAY.
MY FATHER EVEN VISITED AIRTEL GALLERY. THEY DEACTIVATED IT BUT AFTER 1 DAY THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. PLEASE TELL ME A SOLUTION

further to my previous complaint made on july 31, 09.
i just reinserted my sim and found that more money disappeared.
disgusted i rang up customer care and a vaishali answered the phone.explained everything in detail and told her about the email as well.
she said some alert like cricket or news, etc is on which she will disconnect and return rs.20 to me.
i told her i had not subscribed to anything so how is my money being cut.she said it is showing here.i told her i got a call from airtel for some free download which i refused and that day onwards money started reducing.
i told her how can you reimburse only rs.20 when more than rs 100 has been cut.she disconnected the phone.LOL
people beware as money is being cut for value added services not subscribed for.
she asked me to reinsert the sim and she reimbursed only rs.20, since i was already in a deficit of rs15.89 i have only rs.4.11 left as balance.

Dear sir,

Hi,

My name is Dhananjay. I am from Baroda (Gujarat). A bizarre thing happened with me last time i went to Bombay. When i was i Bombay i called my father & friends, but every time it happened that if i call them & the other person don't receive my call or cut the call, my balance got cut without talking to them. Thats awful. I didn't complaint as I didn't have time. But how Airtel can do such a thing. I don't know whats d problem is but still...

Hi,

I agree to this point as I too faced this problem, without intimating I get few stupid services, which i never demanded. Some schemes automatically activated. I call to Airtel guys, they show that you have updated & its showing here & all, & don't listen, hang up the call & all. They talk as if he/she (the call attender) is paying me for the balance. See the Vodafone guys. they talk in a such a beautiful & polished manner, I mean if you are angry they will talk in such a way that you will be totally relaxed. but in airtel they talk in such a manner that u will get angry even more den you are, or even if you are not angry they will make you angry by there 'desi' way of speaking. huh...do something ' BHARTI'...

Airtel lifetime prepiad card — Automatic activation of scheme

On 23rd sep 2009 my Rs.10/- was deducted from my balance and when call to customer care for enquiriy about this they said that i had activated the matrimony service scheme but it is wrong , this is not happened for the first time many times it has been done and for this every time i used to call customer care number but only once i had got the proper response from yours and only once my money was refunded to me. Your customer care executive service is very worst they never give proper solution and used to argue and now a days they disconnect our call in middle of the talk .Now i am really feedup o[censored]r service if you want you can check my complents in your record . I want my money to be refunded .I want a quick reply on this matter.

AirTel — Call details request

Sir,
i m using airtel company's prepaid card with no. [protected]. and i want to know my incoming & outgoing details for this month (October 2009)
plz send my detail's to my e mail id......

this is regarding my airtel prepaid number [protected]. without letting me know the reason airtel has discontinued my services. later i was informed that it was because of some missing documents at the time of submission of my documents for the conversion of my number from postpaid to prepaid on 7th jan, 2010.
i have submitted all my documents again and still no one had given me any date as to when my phone will get started again. if no action is taken against them, i will be forced to go to the media to highlight the companies carelessness and its false commitments.
since 5 days my number is off and i dont know till when this will continue.

this is regarding my airtel prepaid number [protected]. without letting me know airtel often charges me for a service called "Portfolio Manager" which once they have activated without my consent. Each time they impose a charge I called them back and they apologizes for it and reverse the balance. Same time they confirm that its a mistake from their side and now they are discontinuing the service.
But the story does not end here and its goes on same as usual. Now I got fade up by calling them each and every time and keeping track of every penny.
If anyone kindly help me on this, I will be greatly obliged.

Hi,

I am an Ex-Airtel employee and using Airtel postpaid mobile connection and DTH service.

Working with Airtel I know that Airtel have a good products, sales team and Customer service.

1st time I had experience a very bad experience with Airtel when I apply for Airtel Broadband. It is because of the sales team who have given false commitment to the customer. After I have submitted all docs and given money the sales executive told me that within two days got the connection. But after two days no response from their side I checked with the sales person he have given me another person number and then he gave me a very unnecessary reason that some technical problem is there in my area (which is not at all related to a new connection) and he gave me his area manager number - he gave me some other excuse and told to wait for 2 more days. Once after two days again call them they all giving me different - different reasons. So after continuous follow up they told me there is no port available in my area. So I asked for refund my money back.

My question is in Service Industry is it right to give false commitment to customer to meet their sales target ?

I haven't expect this kind of experience or service from Airtel.

The problem still persist, again this happened and this is the 3rd time.

I am AnilRaj.R, I am totally fade up with your Airtel connection, which is I am facing for almost one week. For my last complaint from 13th Oct to 15th Oct, after a long fight I got solution on 15th Oct. And again I am facing the same problem from today (18th Oct 2010) 6.00pm, the problem is I am not able to do an outgoing call from my number [protected]. For this I called your customer care officers (useless fellows), who don’t know how to talk with a customer, I talk with Mr. Simran, Mr. Ankur etc. Mr. Ankur don’t know how to talk with a customer, I told him to transfer the call to his senior for this he only told me that thank u for calling customer care and disconnected the call. And also the same is done by Mr. Simran.
Your customer care wing, your technical wing and other wings are not able to solve customer problem. So I am requesting u to please take your connection back and compensate me because at the time of last complaint, my loss in business is Rs.146000.00, visiting card cost for 1000 nos which I printed the same number is Rs 3000.00 and for calling to your customer care from other phone it is around Rs.600. So total is Rs.149600.00. so please do the need full as soon as possible.


Previous Complaint.


I am AnilRaj and I am using the most wrest connection in India (AIRTEL Prepaid) my number is [protected] which I am using for last one year. On 13th Oct 2010, 6.30pm my number is barred by Airtel, regarding this I called to Airtel customer care and from them I understand that my number is barred due to verification of documents, regarding the documents they never called me and they didn’t send me a message, when I told them that I didn’t get any call or message from your side regarding this at that time a senior supervisor Mr. vinod told me that they called me and informed me the same before last 2 week and from 27th Aug 2010 to 5th Oct 2010 I was out of India with my phone then how they called me I don’t know. And then Mr. Vinod told me that your number will activate before 14th Oct 2010 morning which is not happened, then I again called them in morning and a another supervisor Mr. Sachin who told me that within 2 hours your problem will rectify and then I submit my documents at your Airtel Office at NIT Faridabad by 3pm then I called from there to Mr. Sachin, then again he asked for 1 hour and I waited at your office till 8.30 Pm and then Mr. Sachin told to the staffs in your FBD office to issue a duplicate SIM for me and he told me that your number will activate within 2 hours. And till now my outgoing calls are barred.
I feel that the experts in your office are not able to rectify the problem. I feel that now a day in India the worst connection is AIRTEL, no customer support, inefficient technical staffs, irresponsible customer care officers and irresponsible top level officers because I called there more than 20 times and till now not any responsible person called me. Finally I gave them time till 10am of 15th Oct 2010. Let us see what is going to happen.

BHARATI AIRTEL — Deactivation of card without notice

I had been using a card ([protected]) since the last 3-4 years. The last recharge done on this card was in the month of Feb 2011 and this was a life time validity card. To my surprise this card was deacivated in the month of April without my consent. As I have worked in that industry for a period of 4 years I know that they cannot issue any card pre 90 days of deactivation.

Request you kindly help me in getting this card to me as I have given this number to many of my clients.

Hello,
Account #: [protected]
On September 15th I have given a request for relocation from my old address to new address in Ambattur. My complaint numbers are 4092542, 4091585, 4111247. Ever Since I have raised a request I have lost my peace of mind. I have never seen such an inefficient company in my life. There could be small setbacks but as an entity Airtel should rectify, but the way things are Airtel service is hopeless. After more than Thirty days of speaking to all your customer care people, I have huge list of names, I could not get my service back.
Tell me how many days does it take Airtel to shift DTH dish from one location to another location after having paid all dues and charges and placing a request?
I am waiting for more than 30 days now. I am spending atleast two hours chasing you people to get this done. I wonder why Airtel has got such pathetic customer service. I was mislead stating Airtel has got the best of services, it is no more. I have had the worst of experiences with Airtel I regret having taken your service. I will not recommend your service to anyone in my friends circle. I have already started campaign against Airtel in the blogs.
What would you do if your Engineer makes you come to the location and makes you wait at the location where the dish antenna have to be removed and then turns his phone off and never gets back to you. It is really frustrating, if he was not in a position to attend me, he could have asked me to come on some other day. This is sadistic approach, already you have taken 20 days to respond to my request over and above you make me run pillar to post to avail your service. I can give you the number of the person who has done this to me. His name is Subramanian and his number is [protected]. I am only writing all this with a hope to see if there is atleast one sole who does justice to his work in Airtel. From top to bottom I guess all Airtel officials are worst than government employees.
I have spoken to one Jaya from your customer care, she gave me all false hopes that she will get it sorted with in a day but she has done nothing. Then I spoke to Prakash his phone number is [protected], I recommend he should be sacked immediately, this bloke told me he will see to it it is done within 24 hours if it is not done I can contact Rajath Jain. I told him he is giving me this promise just like what Jaya or Mary did because he very knows that I cannot get him back on line. But he promised to get back to me, this happened on 23/10/10, I have recorded everything I am going to take on everyone of them by filing a suit in consumer court. This morning when I called him this lady Jaya answered the call. If she was a responsible person she would have told me that Prakash is not available but she told me there is nobody by name Prakash and this is not Airtel Office. I checked the number once again and called back but she alerted herself and did not answer my call. I called from a different number she was caught she said she is Jaya and Prakash is on leave. I asked why was she doing this cowardly act. She apologized and again gave me false promises that she will check it up. I tell you, Airtel has employed a bunch o[censored]seless people. They have no accountability because the complaint of the customer does not reach the top officials. I wonder if there is anyone responsible in Airtel. I am not going to leave this, I want my service back or my money back. Airtel cannot loot the customers like this. If it has plans to loot me, I will leave no stone unturned to see that I get justice.
