I am using an Airtel Pre-Paid number [protected] since Sept 2010 and have been facing a major network problem. I have made several complaints to the call centre and have also visited the Airtel Store at Malad West but in vain. People complaint of being unable to reach me and also when there are other Airtel Subscribers with me, I have noticed that it is always easy to make a call from their phone but with my phone it takes a few retries atleast. Moreover there is a lot of voice break and call drops as well. Please resolve this issue at the earliest or I will be forced to either disconnect the number ot migrate to another operator the day MNP is introduced.

The number is registered in the name of Rishab Maskara (my cousin). This is because the Airtel Store people refused to give me a sim card on my name since i am from another state. I do no understand why there was a section in the form for non-local INDIANS.

    I have a prepaid phone from Airtel. Last month on sept 6 I received a text message that your phone documents are not apprpriate, contact your nearby Airtel office and deposit the papers for the verification of address and photo ID. Within 48 hrs on 8Sept.2010 I submitted the copy of passport and Photograph along with airtel profarma mentioning complete details at Ascent Enterprises , Vijay khand , Gomti nagar , Lucknow ( ref. 1193130), which is a authorized Customer relationship Center, for this submission I have the receiving from Airtel. After few days the message was continously coming up. I again went to Ascent Enterprises and remind them that this message is still coming up. And today on 12.10.2010 from evening my outgoing services have been stopped stating that your papers are not complete. Futher message was there that if I agree to deposit the papers again within 48 hrs the services can be started within 1 hr. There was no other option except to agree with this condition. Before that I contacted [protected], which gave me another number [protected] to explain the problem . That gave me another number [protected] but of no use.
    This inefficient services of Airtel is really painful and if the paper deposited almost 30-35 days before could not be confirmed and abruptly hampering the service is diabeling a customer from his right of communication and can be seriously viewed.

      This complaint is about IVR service of airtel prepaid mobile.
      I am user of airtel mobile service from past 1 year my no is. 90040044** (privative) since when i had purchase the sim card till date i get airtel promotion calls from IVR. since we are aware the no. so we disconnect the calls but in airtel the IVR promo. nos change in some period of time so we don't aware of new nos. so we pick the call but IVR is played i disconnect the call without pressing any other key still that service gets activated and balance get deduct from my prepaid a/c so all time we need to call to the Cust. care and they stop the service and gives reversal. But some time they dont accept that service get activated from the not so perfect IVR System and we don't get balance back.

      My suggestion is that if a mobile service provider use Some nos. to promote their products so customer haves a rights no know the current IVR no. because we unaware the call which are coming and after disconnect the call still services get activated.
      and about DND Services in todays marketing days we need to get updates from other marketing sites but if we activate the DND all things stop.

      Only we need latest IVR Nos. when the changed or new Nos. added so we are beware before pick the calls of you not so perfect IVR System.

        Address: Bikaner, Rajasthan

        Dear Sir,
        I am an Airtel customer for more than 7yrs.This month on 4th of october I paid my bill for 800/- Rs. at Speedway communication, Rani Bazar,Bikaner.The name of receiving person was Mr.Punam Kalla and the said entry can be checked at the above reffered office, duly stamped and signed by the said person on my bill.But it was not credited to my account till dated 12/10/2010.I got repeatedly msgs n calls from your company.Atlast I went to the said office and contacted Mr.Punam Kalla regarding the matter.But he was least interested to look after the matter and replied in a very arrogant and rude manner and told me that "WHAT HAPPENED I[censored]R BILL IS NOT CREDITED". The said event of payment made by me on dated 4/10/2010 can be verified at ur above centre at Bikaner as well as on my bill.Kindly take an immediate action against the person who thinks he owns AIRTEL COMPANY. Such kind of misbehaviour doesn't suits company reputation.

        Regards
        Gyan Chand Soni

            Airtel has a collection box in a building on Hosur Road where I drop my cheques. The collections happen daily but my cheques are not presented in time. it takes anywhere between 15-20 days. As the payments are not received I am harassed by dozens of phone calls following up for my payment with cheque details etc. I have mobile, landline and broadband connection and this is getting frustating. Earlier I used online, but Airtel has suspended services for that particular bank.
            I raised several complaints, but they keep me on hold to find details and call gets disconnected after some time. I have to start all over again. I believe in making prompt payments, but it is Airtel own processes to blame, but instead of fixing their processes, they trouble you with following up. The complaints were closed without actual redressal and this is very serious. I need an answer from airtel.

              Hello,

              It is with deep disgust and anguish I am reporting my complaint against AIRTEL BROADBAND SERVICES.

              I switched over from BSNL Broadband to Airtel Broadband, though I thought big about the services of Airtel and now I tasted the bitter experience in a very short period with frequent line faults and mainly closing of my complaints without resolving them. My Airtel number is[protected]

              I have been given 7 different complaint numbers starting from Sept 23rd,2010 till today Oct 12th,2010 and all my complaints were closed without providing any actual resolution.

              [protected] Internet did not work later resolved
              [protected] Internet did not work and router found to be damaged
              [protected]rd complaint damaged router replaced
              [protected] Replaced router did not work so another router needs to be replaced which was never replaced the next day 1.30pm as per the superviser Harish.M
              [protected] New complaint created since the customer care person apologized that someone closed the previous complaint without giving resolution.

              When I called the technician at he said that no router is available in stock and wireless router will be replaced when stock arises as wireless router is used by very few customers and use your BSNL router for time being. The most best answer was from Mr.Harish who told me to wait till the wireless router arrives since they have closed the previous complaint stating my issue has been resolved. He assured me that the next day the issue should be resolved by 1.30pm if not you can complain to nodal officer directly.

              [protected] One more complaint number created today, the October 12th 2010 after so much toil
              I am sure that this will also be closed without any resolution.

              I am still without internet and still nobody has bothered to attend my problem.I even wrote to the Nodal officer and appellate officer on Oct 8th 2010, however a response was given to me from the appellate officer on Oct 11th 2010 that I am satisfied with their resolution.

              I would say "Airtel is only fit to give promises and not fulfull it"

              Just tell me what if some body gives false statements to you and tries to steal money from your pocket. Would anyone like to continue the service.I think I make some sense here.

              But in reality no resolution was provided to me and they keep closing my complaints simply without resolving them. It is nothing but conscious deceit to fool the customer without providing any remedial measure.

              "Providing Solution" doesnt mean to call someone and close the record with giving the actual solution. This is an act of fradulency. I guess you must understand the RESOLUTION HAS TO BE PROVIDED AND THE CUSTOMER HAS TO CONFIRM IT. I think AIRTEL has got its own standards to provide customer service.

              I hope AIRTEL BROADBAND TEAM would be very proud for their worst ever service provided to me without giving any actual resolution for my broadband problem for weeks and simply closing my complaints number without any sort of a confirmation from my end for the reasons which is best to known to them.

              I have all valid proofs that to establish that there were lapse on your side to address my concern and service deficiency being a prompt payer of my bills.

              As a final measure I would lodge this complaint against the AIRTEL BROADBAND SERVICES for their worst service provided which has lead to my loss and given me such mental agony ever.

                Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

                I, Mohammed Ahmed Hussain, Cell Phone # [protected], Service Provider-AIRTEL, has lost my SIM Card on 10th of October, 2010 hence I called Customer Care to block my SIM card and they did and on 11th of October, 2010 I took new SIM card (HL-4) at 16:00 Hrs. from Airtel Office, Begumpet, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. The SIM got activated after 3 hrs i.e. around 19:00 Hrs. And I got my Balance which I was having when I lost the SIM, but till now I'm unable to make any outgoing calls and also not able to send any text Message. I called Customer Care 7 times till now and everyone of the told that the outgoing service will be activated within 1 hour. Its been 22 Hrs but still I'm unable to make any out going call.
                I spoke to the Documents office of Airtel and they said we are having all the documents of yours and the out going service will be activated with in 15 mins. Then even after 2 hrs I was not able to make any call. Hence I called customer service again and spoke to the supervisor and he said Sir definitely the service will be activated in 1 hours but still I'm unable to make any call. And this is really frustrating.
                I want the problem to rectified very soon and want that serious action should be taken against the Customer Service of Airtel for not providing the satisfactory answers to my question and for this inconvenience.

                  Dear Sir,

                  My customer ID is [protected]. My monthly subscription is Rs. 200. In the month of January I got an offer if I recharge for Rs. 310 a bonus of Rs. 15 will be allowed. as such my I recharged for Rs. 310 on 8.1.3 and the balance was Rs. 325. But I was frequently receiving message that your balance is low before completion of a month even. I, therefore, recharged Rs. 200 on 10th February. Today, i.e. on 18th February I received message that the validity of your Airtel TV will expire within one week. It will be astonishing that the monthly charge will count only for 15 days. Please sort it out the problem of balance soon.

                    Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

                    I took an Airtel broadband connection of "Money Back offer". I am suppose to get money back of 100rs discount after 3rd month(i.e. 4th month bill). Now Airtel executive says that I have not taken money back offer. When Airtel executive came for selling connection, he sold by saying its money back offer only. He has given me a bill of 350rs and charged 1000rs by saying we will adjust it. we will deduct it back after 3rd month bill(100rs discount). And now they are denying its not money back its different.
                    We as a customer, we obeyed Airtel executive and we are been guided by him. He said all the customers of Airtel pays amount in this way only(350rs). You also have to pay 1000rs and we will give bill of 350rs. All of sudden they have changed the status of our connection now. Not only that for selling connection he had not let us fill the application form itself. he said sir you can sign is the mentioned place we will fill the form. why do you keep these kind of executive(s) who make customer fool for an amount of 1000rs?. Can some one help me out of this issue.

                    My out standing bill amount is 891 rs and the due date is Oct 16, 10. it is supposed to be 891-100 = 791rs.

                    BSNL charges are transparent. They charge only for what they provide. Services is also good. BSNL is the best.

                      Hi ,

                      i Hope atleast this message will reach Airtel Top Management.

                      i booked a Aitrtel HD connection for Rs2955 through credit card on IVR on Sep 29. i got a message from airtel on the next day stating my customer ID as [protected] and the next line of the message stats that your account balance is Rs1300. i was shocked and called up the customer care, you will not believe i had called the Customer care for more than 20 times in one hour, nobody answered my query instead the put my call on hold and cut the call.

                      After taht they called me up and said our executives will call you shortly on Oct 2 and today is Oct 12 till now nobody called me.

                      i had also sent a mail to DTH.[protected]@airtel.in on 6th Oct and they said they will revert back with 5 days ... as usual no one called up. when i call the customer care a recorded voice is coming up asking to send a msg to 54325. when i tried reaching Nodal Care at[protected] the number is always busy.

                      I don know what to do now. Some one Please advice me how to proceed. the best part is i still don know what was the problem with my Account.

                      i trusted Airtel for 4 long years as i used their Mobile Service and now all my trust were broken.

                          Address: Tamil Nadu

                          I recharged my prepaid card on 02 Oct 10 for Rs.100 for which there was a talktime of about Rs.85/- (I don't remember the figure exactly). I was taken by shock to note that my amount had reduced to Rs.20/- despite the fact that I had made hardly 4 to 5 calls for only few minutes over a period of 5 days. When I contacted the customer care center, one fellow said that some message service pertaining to actor Vijay was found activated and therefore the reduction in tariff was effected. He said that everything was sorted out at the other end and there wouldn't be any problem in the future. But I found that was getting a standard indication in my mobile 'unable to access server' and 'DNS service not available', which I'm not aware of the terminology even now. The first fellow's name was Balaji.

                          I was again taken aback to find that the deduction was continuing and nearing to Rs.10/-. I contacted the Customer care once more and started narrating the same problem to some other fellow, the reply which was not convincing. I asked him to connect me to his senior officer and he connected me to one Mr.Mariya Doss. He told me that an internet connection was found activated in my mobile and hence the charges were deducted at 30 paise per usage. He instructed me to make some changes in my mobile which I did at his behest. Even then the problem wouldn't solve.I thought I'll speak with somebody and exhaust the amount as anyway the money would be looted my airtel. I nullified the amount after speaking to one of my known acquaintances. I requested for the number of Mariadoss, which he gave as [protected] as I cannot be repeating the same episode to everybody. The best point is that I never browse over internet in my mobile. And in-spite-of that I double checked everything is inactive as far as internet operations are concerned. Even then I would get the same messages like ' DNS Service not available' and 'Unable to access server'. How could it be when I'm not using any internet service and everything has been supposedly deactivated at their end? Alas! Mariadoss wouldn't lift his mobile even after making scores of calls. Is it the way Airtel operates? Shame on Airtel.

                          I later went to Airtel customer care center near Trichy bus stand only to find that nobody knows the technicality of the subject and I had to speak over the hotline from there to the same fools, who pose themselves as customer care representatives over phone. Wah Airtel ! Now a lady by name Pushpa comes in and asks me about the problem and I go wild. How many times I have to explain the problem to several people? She was sportive enough to hear all my tempered words and finally guarantees that everything is OK now and I can rest assured go ahead with my recharge. I asked her what happens if again my amount gets deducted automatically. She said that she is pretty sure that the problem has been resolved and she would give me a credit if the problem persisted. Taking her words for granted, I purchased a Rs.10/- card and gave a try. The devil is back. Within 2 hrs of charging, I found that the amount has reduced to Rs. 4.20 out of talktime of Rs.6/-. Pl.note that I haven't made any external calls by then. Again everytime I find the message 'unable to access server', I find 30 paise being deducted from my account.

                          Again I give a try to the mobile number [protected] supposedly belonging to some Cynthia, who is the nodal officer in Airtel. This number was given by Pushpa after my repeated questioning. I tried to check out the status of the cast iron guarantee given my 'Pushpa the great' . And now comes another female 'Vinitha' asking me to explain the same history once more. I shout at her and say that she better rings me up at the earliest.I ask her about Pushpa and she says she sits somewhere else at some other place. Howzzatt? Vinitha apologizes and says she will get back to me immediately after settling the problem and there is no mention about 'Cynthia'. I wait for her call and as usual typical of shameless bunch of Airtel group, she never rings me up. I thought I'll try from my side. Alas! I find the same music ringing but people to no avail. Shame on you Airtel, living like a parasite on others money without providing any service. My money out of the balance Rs. 4.20 is rapidly decreasing. What do I do Mr. Sunil Mittal? Should I say shame on you too because of the inefficiency of your staff?

                          Is there any reprieve at all from Airtel?

                          Do you hear me Mr. Sunil Mittal?

                          Murthy.

                          Airtel — money deducted without usage

                          i got airtel sim and i got GPRS conection, from 1 of february 2008 i asked to deactivate my GPRS and airtel people did it but the problem is the rental is getting deducted every day (Rs.15 per day). i complained to customer care regarding this for around 6 times but nothing happened. on 7th they refunded me but from next day again started deducting. i again complained on 10th but i was promised to stop and nothing was done.whenever i call them, they promise me as if they will solve my problem in a moment but next day same story.

                          AirTel — Charges without usage

                          I got a message from number:582433 at my mobile number; [protected] that my monthly subscription for yahoo! zone is due on 17. March, 2008 and I will be charged rs. 30 for the same. I never activated this service on my mobile and connection. Few months back I was charged rs. 99 for WAp service by giving wrong information to me by Mr. Inderjeet, who called me from airtel service centre. I requested your GPRS cell to deactivate yahoo zone scheme as I have no subscription to it. If Airtel charges rs. 30 on 17 march 2008, then i would be left with no option except to go to court in this regard.

                          i m fed up of this bluddy airtel. i donot know why donot they fix the bugs in thier software or is it made that way.
                          i have decided to throw the airtel card and go for other card.

                          when i have only TWO to THREE rupees then i can't even connect to any phone (LANDLINE, MOBILE). when i recharge my account then i m able to connect.

                          now i suggest my friends and my relatives not to go for airtel. try for some other card.

                          I really ashamed to say that airtel has doing such a service to the public. I never subscribed for hello tunes, but the last 2 months i have been noticing reduction of 30 rs. per month from my prepaid amount. Please take action against these people. I request public not to go for this service - airtel.

                          wrote mail to airtel and also to nodal officer and appellate officer mumbai but no reply so far. recd an acknowledgement with unique reference no. i dont think airtel is bothered.
                          i recharged a sim in pune on 14/7/09 for rs 100 and got talktime of rs.88 from which -13 rs. so balance was 75.11.I switched off the phone .On 25/7 09 i switched it on to make a call and to my horror it showed a balance of rs2.11.
                          In the evening ichecked again it showed a balance of -3.11.Subsequently i removed the sim and have not inserted it back again However i was told that amounts still keep getting reduced inspite of no sim in phone.
                          I think airtel are cheats and do not respond to complaints.
                          boss i too hav complaints ...i kept my sim [protected] out of service for 2 months they deducted 30 rs by saying bollywod fusion service has been activated on airtel wap u are charged rs 15.after ist time i made a complaint but again they deducted it.also i was in roaming hence halpless...

I never asked any service from airtel. After that i sent STOP message to 121 still money kept on reducing then i went to nearest gallery they told me that they will do something and i will be refund me the amount but still I am getting sms......... I don`t know what to do should i go to police or go to different service provider.
                          I subscribed rs.35/= voucher to make airtel to airtel std calls 50 paise per minute. Even after passing of 48 hours the serice has not been activated, though the message after every call flashes that you have made this call at 50 paise per minute, but the charged deducted are 75 paise per minute.

                          since last more than a month i am not able to get cumtomer care assistance on my mobile?

                          I have an airtel prepaid connection with me, which I took almost 4 years back, the number is[protected]. Since the account is active till May 10, 2010, I went to a shop in Mallesh Palya near my house and recharged it . Till yesterday, my account balance was almost Rs.178 . But today all of a sudden its shown as zero. I went to the same shop and asked the person who recharged and he told me that Airtel creates a duplicate account for its customers, whenever we recharge and its a fraud undertaken by Airtel.

                          Since you are the Airtel officer, I need my 178 rupees to be transferred back to my present account which expires only in 2010 . I want my money back, since I have not used it . Whether you are doing this fraud or whether the shop person is doing it .. I have lost my money and Airtel is not ready to credit it .

                          Airtel Mobile Prepaid — AIRTEL charging money for unknown reasons

                          I'm using AIRTEL (Bangalore, Karnataka). These guys are charging things unnecessarily. I don't even know the reason why they are charging. I had recharged for a Full TT of Rs.333. After two days, I got a message from AIRTEL stating that "[B]Thanks for downloading 1170 iCoins from Airtel. You have been charged [U]Rs. 199[/U]. Enjoy Models Club http://203.115.112.5/SM/[/B]". I din't open any thing from my mobile, I got a BB connection of my own in my home. Airtel is Such a Cheat.

                          I called to the customer care and asked regarding this. They told that I opened up some link and thats why the money got deducted. I din't open any damn links. I even don't have got the browser settings on my mobile for browsing internet. The same problem happened a month back but the money deducted was like around 3 or 6 Rs & so i din't took it seriously. I left that problem without complaining. But this time they have gone too far.

                          Customer care told that they have registered the complaint and gave the ref.[protected] and told that they will call within 20th of this month & if the problem is on their side they will refund the amount. How will they accept that the problem is on their side. They keep on saying that I have clicked the link and thats why it got deducted.

                          AIRTEL Sucks
                          My Number is [protected]. I Forgot to mention that. Please take this complaint strictly. If the money is not refunded, I'm going to throw this AIRTEL sim out.
                          My AirTel No. is [protected] I am having a prepaid connecction. I just got a message that I have been charged Rs. 10/- for using Auto subscription from Airtel whcih I did not. It seems there is something wrong in the system of AirTel and for which the customers have to pay. I afraid in future I may have to face similar problem as faced with the above customer.

                          Will AirTel look into the matter and credit the above amount to my account?

                          Hello,

                          I have Airtel connection([protected]). Paise 30 is being deducted every 10 or so minutes. Reasons unknown. My balance is declining every 10 minutes. HEY, What is happening? Same thing with my wife's number ([protected]). A message appear stealthily to announce deduction of Paise 10 every 10 minutes. This is broad day light robbery and amounts to Consumer Cheating. Tell us how to stop this. your consumer Cell HQ, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore is totally non responsive and useless.

                          So much rubbish happens on airtel and so often. We get so many promo messages. We do not want them. They are intruding our privacy. They disturb by giving false alarms, while driving or concentrating on some work. Our money and time is being wasted. We are fed up.

                          Also tell us how to migrate to some other other more efficient network provider without changing the number, and get out of Airtel Trap.

                          Hey, Bharathi, Mittal are you listening or just making money, by cheating gullible public.

First of all, their customer care complaint number are not working properly. Whenever, I tries to connect and talk to customer care executive, it disconnets in an unruly manner and about Rs. 65/- has been deducted from my prepaid account by showing activation of value added services and downloading some tunes from airtel, whereas, I have not activated any kind of services in my mobile and not downloaded anything yet. This is not customery and moderate behaviour as airtel services are showing. Now, i got fedup with this and planning to switchover to another services provider with MNP.

                          Airtel GSM Prepaid Customer — Airtel automatic activation and charges deduction

                          Hi, I Vijendra Agarwal, Mobile no : [protected].

                          Today, I received one sms that hungama game downloaded to my mobile and 10 rs deducted for it from my account. I didn't send the request for downloading the game + internet is not activated on my mobile. I am not sure how the game is downloaded. Moreover on my mobile I checked there is no such game downloaded. When I called customer care to get the details and revert the charges, the customer care person is not ready to listen my query and hangup the phone on me.

                          Airtel — Regarding the usage of Mobile Internet service from Airtel for prepaid Number

                          Hi,
                          I have been using the Airtel prepaid service from September 2009 and been facing several problems, none of my problems were resolved till today, on 24th June at 03:07 I recharged a full talk time of 345 and my total balance was 479.29(the 0.29 approximated figure). On 25th June at 09:02:55 AM my internet service was activated and at 11:02:57 my balance was 0.18. I was charged unnecessarily, were I have not downloaded anything.
                          When I called the customer service centre at 11:02 I was not provided with proper solution. Later when I spoke to the handler he provided me with the below information:
                          The usage of internet from 09.04(the time mentioned is according to the mobile)
                          At 9:04 the total usage was 22.99
                          At 9:37 the total usage was 23.41
                          At 10.08 50MB got over. (Information was provided by Saravanan)
                          He said after 10.08 the balance of 50MB using got over and I have continued the service, but no popup were received regarding this and did not receive any notification on the mobile.
                          At 10:54 the total usage was 25.66 MB
                          At 10:29 the total usage was 5.19 MB
                          At 10:54 the total usage was 3.02 MB
                          He said they have charged INR of 15.00 for per MB. Two weeks back when I used the same facility I was charged only INR of 01.20 for checking of mail were my mobile was not activated for internet.
                          The service provider said will be giving me a call back after 2 hours to update me on the information but did not receive any call at 03:25, I called them back to check on the status when I spoke with Saravanan the supervisor of the customer service, told him about the query which was raised on morning he said will be contacting me back after 4 hours. Told him after several complains too the problem is not resolved and no necessary action was taken. I requested him that I need an explanation on the cost charged for per MB and what was reason for charging me INR 15.00 for per MB were nothing was downloaded and on the cost why they charged INR 01.20 previously on the same usage. Requested that I need the money to be refunded he said will not able to update on the refund as he wants to confirm things with his manager.
                          Till now I have not received any response.
                          Will this going to help AIRTEL to sustain its customer like me or going to be big ? for the customers like me.

                          Airtel — Airtel phones to other card users

                          Hello,

                          This is regarding 1 & 1/2 year back one of the X-company XYZ colleague called me couple of times on my IDEA card.

                          Now I dont know where that colleague is. Now Airtel legal department used to call me & ask about that colleague details (current phone no., address) in a undisciplined manner & with some bad language.

                          I dont understand these mobile phone companies can call anyone (other card user) for any kind of services in an undisciplined way.

                          I want Airtel should get chrged for this activity & punished as well. So that they should not do such things in future.

                          Regards,
                          Atul Patil

                          Air Tel Prepaid — Without making a call call charges are get from my account

                          This is like a fraud whit out making a call the call charges get from my account directly like your last call cost is 0.30 it will happned 5 to 10 times a day , I was complaint about this issue 3 to 4 times their customer support people not responding properly.

                          Airtel Prepaid — Charging me double amount

                          Sir, I had a balance of 380 messages on date 21.9.2011. Airtel charged me double amount of each sms I did.
                          Means they deducted 2 message balance, for only 1 message (less than 160 characters). my kind request to accept my complaint.
                          Each time AIRTEL charges me many amounts in one and other way.
                          Sometimes they automatically start Caller tune service, sometimes they deduct my balance directly. (Rs. 40 was once cut from my balance). Than I have to always call customer care and they also dont follow up for first time. I have to call them many times.
                          I too get same messages for unwanted News subscription. Especially under this AZ Service, AD-54321 for ITW News -1 subscription service. These AIRTEL people are day light robbers. Presently, it is for news subcription they are deducting my amount. Earlier it was for some GHATI - or shall I call it GOO - HATI -Third class ka bhi third class song "Amba Pikato" which was so irritating and then for JOKES not requested.

                          With some or the other resaon they make us "Bakras". As such strong action should be taken against this company or its staff who is trying to steal commission to increase their salary.

                          Airtel — Beep Sounds - SMS in Between Calls!!!

                          Sir,
                          Now Aitel has started to Drop SMS in Between Calls!!! This is a Clear Breach of Privacy!!! I hear Beep Sounds When I am Talking on the Mobile Because Airtel has Begun to Drop Marketing SMS right in between - Very Disturbing and Indecent on Airtel's part. Are Your Listening - Airtel?
                          I am not sure about other service providers but Airtel keeps deducting money from the prepaid user's account and i am sure it is done on purpose to increase sales. I recharged my phone with 1000 Rs. but 100 rs. are deducted within 2 days even though i hardly use my phone. To crosscheck I started monitoring my calls and amount left in my account, to my surprise amount is deducted within 2 to 3 hrs. for not even using my phone.

                          Pathetic service by Airtel people, Can somebody recommend me another service provider. Now we can easily shift to another service provider without changing the phone number.
                          I have the same issue with Airtel. In fact there was one incident 6 months ago where the customer care not only told me that my phone had a virus that frequently downloaded data emptying my internet (he must've been psychic) but also did some math and told that 30GB of data had been downloaded in 10 minutes. I still wonder how my iPhone locked on to Airtel's 4G network when my iPhone's Cellular was switched off and 3G also switched off and 4G is not even available in my city (Trichy). Funny thing was that my iPhone's statistics showed a 10 MB (note this is MB compared to the GB which customer care told) which was definitely because I downloaded a 5MB A.R. Rahman song from the internet (which was the primary reason I activated the 2G 3 day ₹17 internet pack). I lost over ₹400 that day. After that I never recharged more than 100 to my mobile.

                          Yesterday, I recharged ₹50 on my phone because the ₹200 which I recharged via Airtel Money had suddenly disappeared. Today morning I made a call to a friend and spoke for 13 seconds. It showed me a balance of ₹39. I checked the 3G balance and it showed me around 300 MB. I turned on the 3G and made a google search. Within 10 seconds the 3G stopped working and google stopped loading. I checked my main balance and it showed 0. My 3G balance also showed zero. I have switched my iPhone from 4 to 5 two months ago so I suppose the possible explanation is that the virus is applicable to all iPhones. Airtel needs to make a complaint and sue Apple for have installed viruses into every iPhone!!

                            Hi,

                            I shifted 3 months back to rented house in marathahalli (bangalore). Where I found one airtel fixed line cable, which is previous tenant line. As I am existing airtel broadband user, i had the devices with me. so I connected my device with that line. I could able to call any one. But I have never used that line for my usage. Now I want new airtel broadband connection, so I am Appling for the connection last one month, but they are saying “you are in non coverage area”. I told to Airtel clearly that I have one unused line inside my home. You can provide that connection to me. But there are not ready to do that. Even I told them that If I used that line for my personal usage you wont charge me, but they are saying “Yes, sir. We won’t charge you”. I asked them how long that line will be like that as unused. They said six months, after six months if he is not paying the bill that connection will be cancel. So next three months if I am making any calls from that line no one is going to ask me. They will ask the old tenant. I have some points from this scenario
                            1- It is loss for Airtel, as the old tenant is not using so he won’t pay any money. I am ready to pay monthly rental for broadband, but Airtel is not ready to take that.
                            2- Such a phone links needs to be disconnected as soon as detected as not used lines. Otherwise some one can use it for any unwanted activities including terrorism.

                            Regards,
                            Nagarajan. K

                              Hi,
                              I have paid online Rs.999/- for a Airtel DTH connection on 7th Oct'10 on below link .
                              http://offers.connectindia.in/checkout.htm. (Vriti Infocomm).

                              After that I got an order no & conformation mail from Vriti Infocomm.

                              Even though 3days have gone no one has come or contacted me to install it.
                              Whenever I am calling to Airtel DTH customer care[protected] & [protected]), they are just giving fake assurance to install it in next 24hr.

                                Dear Service Provider,

                                I am working with a PSU and wanted a new airtel connection in our company CUG. The concerned distributor, Jimmy, was called in. He promised me a speacial number which he said costed rs 1500. Under some discount scheme he offered the same at rs 1000. He took my documents and Rs 1000 and gave me a sim card instantly, saying it would be activated the next day.

                                Then he started avoiding my calls saying he is in a meeting or out of town. after 10 days he started demanding more money for the same number saying that its a high value number and it costs Rs 6000. And again started avoiding.

                                Out of frustration, I spoke to Airtel relationship mgr, Mr Divyarth bhatt who intervened and asked him to sort out the matter. Despite that mr Jimmy has been delaying my activation. Today Its been more than three weeks after submitting all the required documents, but he has not come and met even once to clarify the issue and find a solution. I have been calling Jimmy several times to meet and discuss bt he gives excuses and avoids a meeting too !

                                Questions to Airtel :

                                What should a customer do when he doesnt receive response from the distributor ?
                                What should a customer do when he feels that he has been duped of his money ?
                                What should a customer do when after the entire transaction, the dealer starts demanding exhorbitant money for the same number ?
                                What should a customer do when he has a sim which hyas not been activated fro 3 weeks ?

                                Its highly disappointing !

                                Dear Rakesh,

                                Thank you for the prompt response.
                                I didnt revert back because after presurizing the local distributor he agreed to provide a number.

                                The matter has been resolved but I still have not received the receipt for the Rs 1000 deposit paid to him.

                                I have been requesting him for the same which he has been delaying since long, almost 42 days now since I've paid the money!

                                Rgds,

                                  I owned an airtel phone connection from July to September 2010.
                                  I finally had to disconnect it because despite repeated complaints airtel never ever got me a working network
                                  my phone was never ever reachable and I had multiple complaints from friends and colleagues.
                                  Airtel never ever replied back to me nor were they ever able to repair my connection.
                                  Hi, i am Rajesh Mokashi my mobile no. is [protected]. i don't know what the reason for outgoing call was off. I tryed to your customer care but your number is busy & not responding. Please do the needful. & tryed to start the outgoing call .

                                    Hi, Today I got a call on my mobile from an unknown number - [protected], today morning at 09:25 AM, which I couldn't picked up. I called back at same number around 10:04 AM to check the caller. Nobody picked up the call although the bell was ringing and then I disconnected the call after few seconds.
                                    Now I got a message from 543211on my mobile at 13:25:30 hours/ 11 Oct 2010 stating - Thank you for subscribing to hello tunes service. You have been charged Rs.30 for 30 days. and then a second message stating - you have been charged Rs.15. Your hello tune has been changed to kash koi lad.
                                    What the hell is this ? I don't want to subscribe for any hello tunes or any such service and didn't even tried its subscription. Is it an example of fradulant customer service or a money making gimmick by Airtel. I am expecting this information to reach at management level and want somebody to look into the matter & the needful to withdraw this hello tune service & reverse the charges levied for the same.

                                    Thanks

                                      R/Sir,

                                      Airtel Billing Complaint[protected]
                                      Same problem repeated as last month billing. Top Up added, few additional amount added like music tone etc without any information. This has been discussed during last month billing also as a result billing amount paid on a later date after due date and Airtel disconnected th phone line. Again, after making the payment reconnected with additional Rs 200/-.
                                      The same problem repeated again this month billing also. So, payment due is Rs 834/-.
                                      This payment could be made after all corrections mentioned.

                                      But now looking at the Billing and Connection issues, I would like to discontinue the connection from nex month.

Line man is asking interesting questions about where phone is installed, as if I can transfer land line to a place which is not known to Airtel. Also he does not know where is Arora Colony and Road no 3 Banjara Hills in Hyderabad.

                                        I would have limited options if coplaint is not attended by Sept 11 as I use internet also also and my work will be badly effected if I am not able to work on Sept 11 and 12 from.

                                        Airtel landline No.[protected] is not working since[protected]. This is a frequent phenomena since the last few months. The usage bill is also in the higher side. So I would like to disconnect my landline connection immediately.

                                        Airtel — TORCHERING

                                        Airtel guy's are big fraud. What happened was i was having airtel pospaid connection but i lost my mobile almost a year back & called customer to block my sim but they didn't do so. After a year they called & told that you have to pay the bill of 12K and a lot of discussion & fighting, i had to pay.

                                        They started calling from my call log & telling them that i have not paid the bill.
                                        This was regarding my reputation. so, i had to pay but Airtel is just ruthless & they do not have any right to calling from my call log.

                                        Pls help advise to screw Airtel coz they called from my call log & telling i have not paid the bill. This is not correct.
                                        Regarding Airtel is very true
