Sir
My Name is Usha and i'm using Airtel GSM Network from past 5 years i'm frustrated with Airtel Network from past 5 months because Airtel has worst Network in My Area. The Airtel Base Transceiver Station is Located 2 Kms away from My Home and the congestion formed by this network is too horrible. Other GSM operators like Aircel, BSNL and TATA DOCOMO are having Excellent Network Coverage at my Home. If Airtel dosen't improves it's network, then i will switch to another GSM Network
Thanking you

Recieved a legal notice from Airtel for non payment of dues for usage of Datacard. As the mentioned company has not been able to provide the services which has been in my first mail to Airtel on 10th Feb.2010. and subsequently repeated in my correspondence to them . I have not been able to use the data card since Feb. 2010. The Company has expressed their network problem in all their mails. It is really shocking to recieve a legal notice from Airtel for not providing services which were supposed to be provided by them.The squence of correspondence is attached below :

Dear Ramesh Sadhoo:

According to your previous interaction, you have expressed concern regarding the network coverage for your Airtel Data card number [protected].

We regret for the delay in replying your mail and the inconvenience caused to you in this regard.

We had tried contacting you on phone to explain the details as per your concern, however were unable to touch base with you.

We would like to assure you that we at Airtel use stringent measurement and control applications to ensure that you receive error-free services. We are continuously working towards upgrading our network to ensure that the coverage is as extensive as possible.

However, despite our best efforts there are times when it becomes very difficult to define the exact range of the coverage. We regret to inform you that we would be unable to improve immediately on the indoor coverage in your
area.

As per the Service Request number 30950107, we would like to inform you that our network team has been working on improving the services throughout the city.

The installation of such cell sites would help to improve the radio wave frequency for both indoor and outdoor coverage. The benefits of the same will be perceptible in approximately, 1 to 2 months. We request your co-operation
till such time.

Hence, we request you to clear your outstanding amount of Rs.1966.65/- before 13/05/2010 to enjoy uninterrupted services.

For further assistance, mail us at [protected]@airtelindia.com.

We thank you and value your association with Airtel.

Dear Mr. Rahul



Request number 30950107:



After waiting upto 25thFeb. it is very unfortunate that nobody has bothered to
rectify the problem of my Data Card. It is pity to state that a company like
Airtel is not able to address to my problem. As stated earlier as I am unable
to use my data card I will not be making payments for this month. Through this
mail I would like you to either rectify the problem or replace the Data Card by
this month end.

Thanks.

Dear Sir



I have been using the above said data card for the last two years. I am facing
problem of logging off after every 3-4 minutes for the last two weeks. The
complaint of the same was logged vide complaint number 30753851 on 2nd Feb.-10.
Subsequently I was forwarded to your technical team and who in turn after
understanding the problem guided me to visit any of the Airtel showrooms to the
status of the datacard. Today I visited your Community Center New Friends
Colony showroom. I was surprised to learn that the employees in the showroom
expressed there inability to check the data card as they did not have any
system to check the same.

As I am a frequent traveler I have been handicapped for not able to access my
mails while on tour. Moreover why should I pay to Airtel for services for not
providing the agreed services. Please revert on the next course of action for
rectifying the problem at the earliest . Oterwise I will be forced to change my
service provider.



Thanks.

They are not disconnecting my number and simply sending me bill.Here are my complaint numbers

False Sales Committments are becoming a Practise ,Especially in big Giant Telecom companieslike Airtel wherein the Agency promises Ex TAT whereas the Sales representative has his own fundas on TAT's.In our worst customer service and Sales malpractise experience the DSA owner promised the PRI Line to be delivered by Saturday evening i.e. 21st Aug'10.The Sales employee of Airtel and the agency people jointly plan and fool around ith customers thereby leading Business losses to ventures like ours.
Basis the committments received the Business proposals were presented to the client for which the said PR line was procurred.The Sale representative named Mr Suresh Airtel Employee - Mobile number - [protected]) and the Agency owner named (Mr. Prasad yadav from vashi - Mobile no - [protected]) delivered a very cheap example of extending TAT's by puting blames on each others shoulers till 5:00 pm monday post whcih they stopped attending their mobile phones stating an excuse of being n a meet till 6.30 pm as logic says that post 6.30pm all expectations are made open for the next day.The said PRI was to be procurred for our said Organisation ( S2S IT Solutions Pvt Ltd) for which the application was signed on 19th Aug'10 with an Assurance.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have applied for BroadBand with Cable TV connection on 13th Aug at SaharaMall in Greate India Place in Noida after they confirmed that they will able to provide connection for Sec-49 Noida.
The next day the person came to my home & taken full payment and after verification of all documents and not handed over a single receipt. Now I am running after them since then to hear that they do not have the box in front of my house. I have written & called them several times and every time they say they are coming, but no body came so far. I don't understand why these people collect full payments, coming to my home and seeing the actual condition on the ground and now saying that they don't have a box in front of my house. Horrible service from Airtel Telemedia. I would not recomment any one to apply if you don't have a box infront of your house.

i have been getting these friend locator requests from this number---[protected] for quite a no.of times till now. i even tried to reply by saying 'NO' but the user still tries to send me these friend locator msgs continuosly. i would like to knw on whose name is the number registered

This is to giving you complaint that I Pankaj Sharma had purchased ur airtel DTH connection on Tuesday 17/08/10 from Vaid Electronics Faridabad and your engineer had install this to my home on the next day 18/08/10 the complaints are below-

1) Your engineer had not given any information or guidance about this new dth connection even I told him to pls explain about the features & how to use it.

2) Secondly he doesn’t tell me that I have to recharge it or my Dealer will recharge it and it will take 45 minutes to get installed.

3) Dealer (Vaid Electronics) had recharged it on Thursday & he told me that I don’t need to call in customer care and it will start within 45 minutes.

4) After that in night I speak with Mr. Sandeep your customer care executive & tell him the problem after that he told me that I need to call in customer care & activate my package detail which also not anyone told me or guide after that he giving me promise that it will start in next 24 hours.

5) on the very next day 21/08/10 when it’s not done I again call in your customer care & Mr. Deepak ( executive ) told me that for this process I need order no for customer care he had given me order no – 49027293 means sandeep makes me FOOL earlier.

6) yesterday when it’s still not done I again & again call in your customer care and speak with Mr. Manish your Supervisor & he told me the same story that this problem has been from ur end means customer care or AIRTEL DTH whatever .

Again I got one more promise that my connection will start in 24 hours & finally got complaint no - 3630164

7) Today morning I had called again your help line no- [protected] that time he told me it will start in 10 minutes.

8) finally very disappointed I called again in ur customer care & got same story of 24 hours after that I speak with Mr. Amender ( Sr. Supervisor ) & got same stupid story that sir give me 1 day I will mail it to my senior & definitely it will start as soon as possible & I will revert you.


What my question is this is Reputed AIRTEL DTH or anything Froad Company if I buy connection on 17/08/10 today is 23/08/10 & what answer is it will start by 27/08/10.

Means I need to wait for 10 days to watch TV or your Great Company (AIRTEL DTH) actual installation.

I think I had made a very big mistake in my life to buy AIRTEL DTH connection rather than I know if I buy something else means DISH TV, TATA SKY etc…………………I would not get problem like this in my life.


I know nothing will happen nobody will solve this matter.
But i[censored] are a good prestige in market than solve this matter.

It’s not SERVICE that you people just sold your product & slept out after that.

Sir,
I have taken an AirTel Post Paid number in December 2009 with mobile number [protected].The Billing Period of my number falls from 20-Jul-2010 to 19-Aug-2010.
I have activated the 99 Rs SMS offer plan earlier but deactivated it on 21st of July.
They have charged me Rs 99 for using that offer for one day , but the offer being stated in the bill is from 20-Jul-2010 to 19-Aug-2010.
I have been charged for both the free SMS plan and for each SMS which i have sent.
To clarify the same, i have called the CSR.The CSR says that it comes with flat rental so this money cannot be deducted.But when i look in through the advertisements, IVRS or in the web portal there was nothing mentioned specifically that Rs99 SMS plan is a flat plan.request your action on the same.
Thanks and regards,
Sumeeth Reddy.

This is regarding the extremely poor service, and inconvenience I have been experiencing due to incompetency of the Airtel Digital TV department.

I had made an initial request to Airtel customer care for shifting my Airtel connection (customer ID [protected]) from one town in Ghaziabad to another city (Nehru Nagar) in Ghaziabad itself (area change Approx 14 Km) on 5th Aug 2010.

The un-installation was done on the 7th August as scheduled. I took the equipment to the new address and was told that the re-installation would be completed on 8th Aug (Sunday) before 11 A.M.

Nobody came and I neither did I receive any phone call from anyone.

I again lodged a complaint on the same day (Date – 8th August 2010) and was given the service request reference no. – 3510811

The following SMS was received the NEXT day – “Dear Customer, your Service request reference no. is 3510811 for "Engineer Related" has been resolved. If the issue is unresolved please call [protected]"

Since no one came, I called up the mentioned number – [protected]. No one answered at that time and after some time the phone came up as switched off. (Note: I tried this number off and on, it still comes up un-answered as of yet)

I again complained on the same lines and got the service request reference no. 3519246 for "Delay In Resolution (Domino)", which was again resolved magically the next day, without anyone contacting me!

I kept on making the complaints, and I do not know how the complaints kept on resolving automatically without anyone calling up or fixing appointments.

After again complaining on 15th August 2010, I got a call from an engineer and he said he would be at my new premises by 5:30 P.M.

I was not at my place at that time, and so had to rush back in order to get the installation complete. I called him back at 5:15 PM to confirm his visit but he said that he would not be coming now as his office is closed.

Since I am working and not available in the week days (I live on rent), I requested him a lot to complete it on the same day (Sunday), but to no avail.

I was very frustrated and the engineer also seemed very rude and un-cooperative.

I have been making complaints off and on for the past two weeks. The people at the support end are always giving me FALSE PROMISES and pathetic apologies, and they seem very surprised when they see all the complaints in the call history.

I have talked to managers and floor supervisors but no one is able to help.

The complaint numbers WRT the calls I made to airtel all these 3 weeks are – 3510811, 3519246, 3534799, 3537343, 3556170, 3611204 and so on.

As a matter of fact, even the Airtel Broadband suffers from the same poor management; it took 2 full weeks to shift my telephone/internet connection.

As a last ditch effort I called up one of the engineers in NOIDA, and he said that no one would come to do this shifting as AIRTEL does not pay the people (contracted staff) who make the new connections, they do not get the Rs 300 Airtel charges as shifting amount.

Now, after so many calls and because of the accumulating FRUSTRATION from such POOR, PATHETIC & 3rd rate service, I am contemplating to leave AIRTEL DTH behind.

My advice to anyone reading this and looking for guidance about the AIRTEL Digital T.V. Service provider is that AIRTEL is built up on POOR MANAGEMENT and relies too much on the end staff to get its work done, who are irresponsible, hired contractors, and in some cases even hand in glove with local Cable operators, who want to maintain their monopoly.

Except for one corner in my house there is no network signal @ my home...

Appellate Officer Bangalore confimed there is a network problem @ my house. Airtel doesnt have the budget for hosting the big network tower in Rustam Bagh.. However, when i insisted on putting an small booster in my building or home Airtel is running out of stock for the last 3 months. I fail to understand such a multi million dollar company cannot buy boosters ??? I have been following with Airtel with

4 Emails to Appellate Officer
2 Emails to Nodal Officer
3 Phones to Appellate Officer
2 Phones to Nodal Officer
5 Phone calls to Customer Care

I am totally frustrated and looking for some help from Airtel and General Public...

Thanks
Aresh

Hi,

This is the 3rd time Airtel has forced me to write an email stating my woes. I have 2 complaints against which neither any action has been taken so far nor any communication has been sent to me regarding this.

1st issue:
I had raised a Service Request with Airtel[protected] for poor quality of network in my house & Airtel Customer Service was supposed to get back to me by 07-Jan-2010. Airtel technician had come to my place to check the signal strength & had confirmed that the signal was weak & they would install new tower to boost the signal strength. I regret saying that no action has been taken so far. It's been more than 3 months now & we are still facing the poor quality signal at our place. We had called the Nodal office thrice but yet no concrete response from them too. Please can you ask someone to look into this ASAP as I'm frustrated with using Airtel now because of no action taken on my Service Request & I'm sorry to say that if this continues Airtel will lose on their customer.

2nd issue:
I had raised another request for registering for NDNC. The request number was W[protected]. As stated in the sms, all promotional communication would stop within 45 days from the date I received the sms (21st Dec 2009). I have still not stopped getting junk sms on my cell.

I'm totally fed up and frustrated of no communication from your side and no action too on your part. If these 2 issues are not resolved at the earliest then I will take this up with TRAI.
Please see the below chain of emails where I have explained in detail my plight.

Regards,

I have not heard anythhing from Airtel as of now. Is this the way you treat your customers. I am forced to believe that Airtel customer relations is just a farce and no action can ever be taken.
Looking forward for a reply at the earliest.

Regards,

Hi,

I just received a bill from Airtel where there was a letter stating about the improvement in network quality & also that 175 new towers are added in Bangalore. As I was going thru it, I realized that I had raised a Service Request with Airtel[protected] for poor quality of network in my house & Airtel Customer Service was supposed to get back to me by 07-Jan-2010. It's been almost more than a month now & I regret saying that no one has come back to me with a concrete solution & neither the network in my house has been improved & I continue to face the problem of poor network coverage. Please can you ask someone to look into this asap as I'm frustrated with using Airtel now because of no action taken on my Service Request & I'm sorry to say that if this continues Airtel will lose on their customer.

Another instance of Airtel's poor customer service. Also, I had raised another request for registering for NDNC. The request number was W[protected]. As stated in the sms, all promotional communication would stop within 45 days from the date I received the sms (21st Dec 2009). I have still not stopped getting junk sms on my cell.

Hope these 2 things are taken up at the earliest & I see some communication/progress made on them asap.

Sir,
I am currently located in KSA(Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia) I recieve atleast 2 calls from my family/friends from India/Kerala in a day. I have noticed that when ever a call is originated from Airtel mobile provider It is always a local number on my phone (ie. a number in Saudi Arabia even though the call is from INDIA). I thought it was just a fluke incident. Then I learned about VOIP calls that are carried out with the help of internet rather than through satellite. If that is the case Airtel is making a heck of lot of money from all of out going international calls. They are cheating the India government and cheating the customers as all o[censored]s know the voip calls are much cheaper, cheaper than 1 rs/ min to GCC countries and they charge like 9 rs/min. I have also noticed a lag time while talking of about 2 seconds which only happens in VOIP calls when internet speed is low. This is a very serious issue and huge revenue drain for our government. Can anybody alert TRAI about this.

I might be wrong but can any body come up with a genuine answer or explanation. It would be greatly appreciated
