Help is appreciated.

Hello,

I had taken Airtel prepaid Connection almost an year ago, somewhere around Sep'09.
My mobile No is - [protected]

The initial tariff plan was
STD call :- 1.50 Rs / min to all GSMs
Local Call :- 50 paise / min to all GSMs

Within 2 weeks of activation I got my plan changed to the following due to my excessive STD call usage
STD and Local Calls to Airtel Only :- 50 paise / min
STD and Local Calls to other GSMs :- 60 paise / min

Things were going smoothly until yesterday (30/10/2010) when I found that my STD call
was charged @ 1.50 Rs / min. To resolve this I called up the customer care today, it was
of not much help.

The point which I am trying to make out is "My tariff plan was changed and that too without my consent".
I have not lost any big amount but I am unhappy because of this unethical and corrupt practice and I am feeling cheated.

So, I request you to look into this issue and resolve it asap.

Thanks and Regards,
Kumar Saket

I m Mayur Patel i m using Airtel Prepaid connection no. [protected] located in gujarat( Vadodara ), Airtel activated caller tune and NationalNews Pack service in my phone without my knowledge. From around Rs.50/- his balance. I complained to Airtel customer service at 121 and 198. They deactivated caller tune and Nationalnews pack but were unable to explain to me how it got activated in the first place. After 5 Min this service got activated again and the Balance reduced. I called Airtel again to complain and they again couldnt explain to me how it got activated. They kept saying that we would have click some link and activated..when we dont even know that how does it click on this link. The customer support staff was extremely rude and said he doesnt know the answers to my questions and disconnected the phone. when i call again to customer care and then after no one can answer me. after some days same problem again on my connection they activated caller tune again. the money is not important but attitude of company and call center executive is i don't like and i want to wiver my all this money who claim company and deduct my Rs.75 /- around. i request to company call me and explain me all this things and wiver my money ..

SO REPLY ME BY PHONE OR EMAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I AM WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY.

To whom so ever it may concern

I got the Airtel Dish installed on 27th Oct morning. 27th evening onwards i am not able to view the TV. I made a complaint on 28th morning ref # 4273551. I was told some one will visit by 12 noon. I took half a day leave and stayed at home. Till 12 no one turned up. I called the call centre again. They said the person will come and attend by 3.30 PM.
i waited till 3.30 extended by leave from half day to full day. No one turned up at around 5 i called they said by 5.45 some body will attend.

I waited till 6.30 PM No one turned up and i got a SMS from DTH that the issue is resolved. If not resolved call a mobile number. I called that number and informed them that without resolving my issue the call is closed. They asked me to contact one local # for my area i called that # it was switched off, then again called call centre they gave another # which was wrong. Then they said by 29th somebody will attend the call. On 29th morning again called

to reconfirm the technician arrival time, then this time i got a different call reference # 4286993 & 4283767. They said some one will attend on 30th Nov, so i went to office, by around 3.30 PM one person called me and asked for address etc. He wanted to come at 5.30 PM. As no one was available at that time asked him to come on 30th morning. i got an SMS in the evening telling the issue is resolved. Again i called the call centre they said some one will come FROM AIRTEL.

come to attend the complaint and on the way. Many people were calling me for asking the address and other details, everytime they are asking what is the problem etc. No one attended the call. At the time of writing the mail ie 30th Nov 22 Hrs. Now I REGRET TO TELL THAT I MADE A MISTAKE IN TAKING DTH I HAVE BEEN AIRTEL CUSTOMER AND I WAS ALWAYS GETTING GOOD SERVICE FROM AIRTEL FOR BROADBAND AND MOBILE. BASED ON THE PAST EXPERIENCE I WENT AHEAD WITH AIRTEL JUST FOR SERVICE SUPPORT WHEN SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS WERE AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET. NOW I AM NOT AT ALL INTERESTED IN THE AIRTEL CONNECTION, YOU MAY REFUND THE FULL 999 AMOUNT AND TAKE AWAY THE ITEMS SUPPLIED BY YOU.

WITHOUT ATTENDING THE COMPLAINT HOW YOUR TEAM IS CLOSING THE CALL AS RESOLVED.
Thanks & Regards

HI,

It is been about 2 months , I am sending mails to Airtel to keep my connection in safe custody as I have traveled out of india for some time. Before i left india i called on customer care and ask them to do so , but after 15 days when i received bill there was no billing like that. Complete amount was billed in to the bill , where as custody charges were half of that.

I sent many mails but no good response, every time they are asking me to to pay the bill which I am not suppose to pay with out settlement, but they dnt want to understand the case , just sending already formatted mails are not going to help me.

and on top of that every month they are adding late fee charges as well, I can keep calling on ISD to follow up on the issue. and I dnt want to keep any bill on my name as well, but it seems airtel is least interested in taking correct amount, they think they can charge any thing to customer and customer is bounded to pay all this ???

I have a postpaid connection from Airtel. My address proofs and details were verified by the company and they took quite some time to activate my postpaid number. Actually I was using the same number since 3 years now, but got it converted from prepaid to postpaid now. Without any prior intimation they cut my service, when asked for a reason from customer care, I was informed that due to non compliance my number was blocked. I was asked to submit all my proofs once again to reactivate my account. In spite of my busy schedule, I found some time off my office to visit Airtel office (Had to struggle even to locate one) and enquired for activation. They had no clue as to why my number was deactivated. The agent (or executive) whoever contacted me for converting it to postpaid came into picture here and from then on the only response i could get was "by tomorrow it will be activated". Overall in the three years, Airtel's service was pretty much disappointing. Couldn't change my number because of professional reasons. Need number portability soon in India.

I have been getting a sms which reads:

You have been renewed for WeeklySub subscrition service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs.20. Play Games at Re. 1 http://203.115.112.5/GCLite

And I have no idea when I did subscribe to such service. And when I try to stop the service through airtel's *121*5# (Stop a service), I see that I have no services I subscribed to. How do I fix this?

Thanks in Advance..
