DEFICIENCY IN THEIR SERVICE AFTER GETTING ORDER FROM SHYAM VIHAR CHS LTD AND FULL PAYMENT OF RS.57536=00.
AFTER PAYMENT WE ARE NOT GETTING BROAD BAND CONNECTION EVEN WORKING TROUBLE FREE FOR LAST 2 MONTHS.
AFTER GETTING PAYMENT IN FULL, THEY ARE NOT GIVING SERVICES AS PER OUR PO DATED 12TH APRIL 2010, REF. AIRTEL/SVCHSL/290310

BEING SUCH BIG COMPANY, THEY ARE IGNORING OUR COMPLAINT AND WE ARE FACING HARDSHIP, TROUBLE FROM THE AIRTEL COMPANY AND THEIR MANAGERIAL STAFF.
COMPLAINT FROM CHAIRMAN OF SHYAMVIHAR CHS LTD. MR. P. HINDUJA

Yes.. its fact...worst service provider in DTH..

i am also getting same type of response. I talked with Riaz and Naina on Airtel customer care. They put me on hold for 30 min and said your packaged is refreshed. But till the time no solution. It is more than one and half month to fight with Airtel DTH customer care but no response and solution. This is the ever worst expience which i faced. I will never recomened to anyone to purchase/buy Airtel DTH. Eventhough it should be very shameful to company that there customer care co-ordinatore(Riaz) hezitate to share the customercare mail id. I can get it from any where because world is open. I was surprise that they donot want to share the cutomer care mail id. Eventhough it is more than 2 weeks to send same complaint to customer care mail id but no response. Really it is very pathatic situation that i am not able to see channels eventhough i paid full package amount in advance. my airtel customer ID is [protected].

Airtel DTH customer care worst, they are the and lousey fellows...

My customer ID is - [protected], I have connection issue from last 4days and tried to call several times to Ccare no response, [protected] number never works and 12150 always take minimum 8-9 minuets to connect to CC person.

Even we send sms to "HELP" 54325, no one call us.

Its 5th day I don`t have connectivity, wast of money rental.
Every evening when I return home I start callin Airtel CC and loosing patience then I will show the temper on family members. Because of airtel, my family members are getting effected.

I wanna meet the owner of Airtel and KICK HIS for haveing sucha lousy team and employees...

Hahahaha - "Kick his indeed".

What I have found deplorable is the complete lack of process-flow knowledge in the people manning AirTel's INDIAN call center (yes highlight INDIAN because domestic call centers SUCK big time - why do u think they are outsourcing menial jobs in droves to INDIA? Wholesale cheap labor - 1 CC exec in any Civilized country gets paid, has resource spent on training, and given amenities that are to 4-5 CC execs in countries like India - So u can do the Math n figure out why INDIAN domestic call centers like AirTel are so Pathetic)

* The IVR wait time to connecting to an Exec takes inordinately long. Why? NEVER believe the "Technical reasons" excuses the floor manager will give u - they just have 5 people paid 5 people's salaries but doing 10 peoples' workload - means delays, dropped calls, and hapless service for you & me)

* The Main menu asks u to choose menu language as English. Now obviously if I select to be guided in English, not the IVR but also through to human contact - is common sense right? Not so at AirTel. Here I encounter a local South Indian guy ( I'm in Bangalore presently) trying - would u believe it - to express himself in HINDI. Now I'm from Delhi and I speak fluent Hindi. Even then - A disastrous attempt later, I ask to be transfered to an English speaking chap. He mumbles out the fact that he indeed is The Man.
Again - I ended up yelling like a Primary school teacher trying to make a retarded toddler understand the reason why they have interfaced. Shockingly inadequate - he couldn't figure what the hell was going on - though I broke down sentences, used the simplest words I know, and repeated and summarized my complaint a dozen times.
WHY? Obviously - INDIAN call centers spend a fraction of the funds allocated to them to HIRE and TRAIN competent resources. Do they care about the nightmare Customers have to live through? Nope. They just wanna show how much money they saved per "Cost Center".

* Asked to be transfered to someone who can speak "Better" English - I find myself asked to hold - Soft skills training @ AirTel seems an unknown concept - The background spells bedlam - I can hear some Supervisor bellowing like a bloody Buffalo at his frightened, disoriented, untrained herd of Lambs - SERIOUSLY, no kidding. Then I was told I am on hold and they were "sorry for OUR inconvenience" (the chap who writes their process script deserves an Award, really). Then there was complete silence. I assumed that meant 'Hold'. After 2 minutes I realised I was hung up on.

* Did I surrender? No Way. Called right back, meandered through the brain-numbing IVR drone and the AirTel ditty blaring like a truck horn through my earpiece. Punched in my Cust ID # again (They always ask u to repeat it at least 5 times on the actual call - baffles me as to why I need to punch the darn thing on the IVR at all)
Anyway - Through to Mr South India trying out his Hindi for the first time ever. Fail. Transfer to English speaker? Miraculous Transformation of Mr South Yindia Trying To Yell Yem Yen Yo Vaayee my poor little Complaint to linguistic butchery. This time I FIRMLY asked to not be put on hold - and transfered to a Manager who can Speak English. "Oh But Saar Yaayi Yaam Sbeeging Yin Yeenglees No Saar". I was very tempted to reveal to this chap the process that might mean I'm his biological father - But my upbringing saved his Bacon.

* Whew!! Finally I hear a different voice. Made to repeat the whole she-bang - AGAIN - Customer ID#, complaint #, the entire query in full Technicolor splendor. Again, put on hold. 10 minutes of silence interspersed with the truck-horn blaring intermittently as if playing musical chairs.

* Again another voice (the previous one assured me he knew exactly what I was about and was "going to check my details") - this time not so noisy a background. Again - Rewind, repeat. Customer ID #. Complaint #. Name. Phone number. Address. Brand o[censored]nderwear worn today.
And then my Query - my brain felt like it was crumbling piece by piece inside my head.

* NOW the real FUN starts - I'm told my original complaint was registered on May 20th. Not so. I had called in to this Living Nightmare of a call center on May 18th. I am a very meticulous man, my little black book clearly noted the date, time and other tid-bits of my original query.
Then I realized why the chap was trying SO HARD to prove me wrong - Obviously my work was Not done. They have TRTs (Turn Around Time - taken to close a query) norms to adhere to (that's what the Franchise will tell you - because they want to "Provide a Global Service Experience to our Customers".

So, to save his and that of his Manager, I was convinced that my issue was Not yet fixed cuz it was still within the 48 hour resolution TRT cycle.

* I gave up the argument - I just wanted my to be sorted out, Dear God, please. Again - the famous 9 minutes of Fames a.k.a "Please Hold while we check ur "details"". AGAIN - transfered to Another voice now!! Rewind. Repeat. Name. Number. Why was I calling (even I was seriously questioning that of me by that stage). And Lo And Behold - My complaint number, has a "Resolved" status. Meaning I just stepped out of clinical Coma after 42 years.

* Exasperated that STILL the guy didn't know what my query was about, I asked him to read aloud to me the Case Notes on my reference number, off his Computer screen. Astonished - there was nothing noted down in my case history apart from my name, my phone number, and of course - the color o[censored]nderwear I was wearing on May 18th, when my original query was reported to these guys.

* I asked the exec to stop stammering & blabbering, and asked how or why was my Issue deemed "Resolved". He says, I had CALLED BACK the same day, and informed THEM that I no longer needed assistance. Was I called back as they promise in their Service level Agreements? Nope. Was my problem resolved? Yes. YES??? "Yes Saar you "has" been "confirm" same "date" by "himself". Yes Saar."

* Simple question - Am I an ? A leech on the domestic call center culture? A complete imbecile with short-term memory failure? Or am I so jobless that I decided to spend the last 2 hours asking these Blithering Incompetent to FIX a problem that never was? Take your pick. I choose the shotgun and a pack of slugs.

* Okay. I vented out a bit out of sheer dismay. To avenge that, our man here without warning puts me on that "Hold" again to be bundled to the desk of the next Blithering Incompetent on the team. So this must be how a pending Government case file must feel like. My Two Solid Hours on this exercise being the variable that would stretch to Two Decades of Hollow Promise.

* Now THIS gent here gives me the "Mobile" number of a Local Area Engineer who would come down and fix my issue. May I have an Office fixed line number please? Saarry Saar. Er..an email ID perhaps...? Saarry Saar. Okay, what's the chap's name? You call up and find out no Saar, he will tell you.
Of course he will. Sorry - or should I say Saarry - Saar, my bad. And what if this fellow doesn't answer his cell phone, as is his wont? Guess what : "Saar" please note down ur NEW Complaint Number. If this man does Not answer the call - I should call AirTel back. Again. From scratch.


* My AirTel set-top box remote had conked out - by th way, that was my original issue. After that, I spent the next 2 days trying to reach this Local Engineer, who doesn't even have a local office to be found at.
Couldn't get through - of course.

* AGAIN, Called AirTel Domestic Call Canter. Went thru the entire Drill of all drills. 2 blokes who think they can converse in Hindi, 2 more with similar misconceptions about their English - about 40 minutes on hold altogether with the AirTel theme Truck-Horn blaring my eardrums to ruin, repeat and re-repeat my query.

Finally - to a calm & collected voice on the line. Why has my problem not been addressed. Sir, why are you kidding me on a Monday night. Says here the Local Engineer himself logged in and Closed my case as Resolved, a day ago. Bemused - I asked him to guess then why would I be calling him again now. Answer : Oh but Sir it says it has been fixed!! So now I'm a liar too. Did Customer Care follow up with a call back to ensure my query had been handled? Nope. Though that was their word & promise to begin with, not my demand because I know only too well that was a myth in Indian Domestic call centers.

* Okay. Bottom line - I'm STILL unable to watch my News and cricket games. And all this while Corrupt politicians under the Facade of an equally defunct, woefully incompetent structure in place as AirTel, were making off with millions of my Tax money. And I couldn't even watch that Obituary being read out on Times Now news hour.

* Dear Mr AirTel Operative - this nameless, faceless Service Engineer who doesnt answer his cell phone but very promptly reports my Complaint as resolved - So can YOU or someone in YOUR team PLEASE contact him, give him a clear TAT, ensure my work is done - and ENQUIRE about my level of satisfaction, BEFORE the Funeral of my repeat complaint? Answer - Sorry Sir, we don't do that. Company rules. Department protocol. Scandinavian Policy. Can you read me what exactly in that "Policy"? Sir - in a place where Hindi and English are unknown foreign dialects - do u reckon we will really TRANSFER your call to our offices in - NORWAY - ? NO WAY.

* So - Im asked to "note down" another cell phone number, for another (seemingly de-localized) Local Engineer. They cannot check with that Saviour of Airtel consumers.Not policy, nor rules permits.


Then WHAT am I still supposed to do?? What if again even this chap's nowhere to be traced? Please Call 12150 from your Airtel number and we would be happy to ASSIST you. Wow. I never thought of that..!! Such brilliance - and yet so simple! I feel bad I even asked.

OKAY - SO - my duty as a consumer is to play I-Spy with Local Engineers and Touts who didn't give a flying [censored] for me. Endlessly.

And what - MR IRE-TELL / AIRTEL Executive, do YOU get paid for? Customer Torture - and for those who survive till the Grand Finale, to push them onto an unknown imaginary Authority - which meant my Future with AirTel hung on the whim of this Untraceable Expert to even answer my calls or not.

Anything REMOTELY resembling Customer CARE here? Kid me not. Will they make sure that I - customer of theirs and NOT of their touts and pimps - will have a sure-shot resolution? Naah, [censored] off.
Will anybody even type in details of each call as reference to the status of the query-complaint? No, damn Not. Will someone ever call me back to verify if my desperate plea was finally answered? Only on paper. On Toilet Paper that AirTel Domestic Call Centers will wipe your off their faces with and mail it along with your Broadband & DTH Bills.for the month.

They are therefore - EVENTUALLY just accountable to reveal an obscure mobile number and call it 'CUSTOMER CARE'. And award each other Best Employee Of The Month and Most Customer Focus Team of the Quarter in Gift Coupons at Lifestyle or Marks&Spencers.

So what IS their [censored]ING JOB that they get paid for - AND charge You and ME a pretty penny to actually endure & survive?
The day I have lost the will to Live or watch Television in full HD again - I'll try and pen down THAT rich, unique, enthralling experience vis-a-vis The AIRTEL DOMESTIC CUSTOMER care CENTER.

BBMP — Pasting of pamphlets on trees

Dear Sir/Madam,

Sub: Pasting of pamphlets on trees.

It is very disappointing to notice that few advertisement agencies of a reputed telecom company have resorted to very disgusting/cheap method of advertisement. This is disturbing the Bangalore environment. It is noticed that BBMP have resorted to very efficient method (Beautiful paintings of the rich culture of KARNATAKA on the walls of government buildings to prevent pasting of posters across the so called Garden City (Namma Bengaluru).
The advertisement companies have started to nail the pamphlets on the trees. This is something very annoying. When there are visitors (foreigners) to the city who sees, it is very shameful to us and also to the telecom company. The company though is spending crores on advertisement through TV, sport agencies, Paper retail outlets etc., but the method of nailing pamphlets on tress is something which should be stopped immediately. As it is the city is losing large amount of trees in the name of development, Imagine the numbers of trees that are being felled to prepare paper that is being used to manufacture these pamphlets. Though the telecom company mentions in there website to prevent paper bills and opt for message notification, they should see this method of advertisement is a natural waste. BBMP and Forest department considers felling tree is illegal and one has to procure permission to cut a tree, in that case how can one use tree for their personal use (use them as display boards) by nailing pamphlets on trees. Going forward we would see trees in the city being covered with papers, advertisement, cinema posters etc.
Few snaps of the pamphlets are attached in this mail. I hope concerned authorities will stop this disgusting act. Please help to save trees and prevent the beauty of our city.

The telecom company is none other than AIRTEL

I totally agree. These telecom companies shopuld be more socillay responsible towards the society.

Called up BBMP Control Room and Registered the complaint for the above issue.
BBMP Complaint Number: 35843
Dated: 12/8/2010

As per the Customer Support Executive, within 24hrs this issue will be Addressed.

The dealer and the customer care executive not support my queries still now, Dealer ask for Rs.250 for remote and Rs.100. for petrol but the executive ask for only Rs.150, It is also a difference between company and dealer, So please solve this problem, I am very frusted from Airtel digitel service.

But after one month same problem faced again, I make a call to Sonepat service center of Digital tv, Then again they Charged Rs 100/- , It happens Many times With in 4 month, Every Time they Charged Rs 100/- for resolving the problem
When I asked to Solve the problem Permanently they replied to Change the set up box with another old & repaired set up box against Rs 500/- + Rs/- 100/- srevice charge,
I make complaint Many Times on customer Care Against the complaint No. 5153225 date 24 jan.2011,

Airtel Digital — remote not working so not able to use the remote

plz kindly do the same

Airtel DTH — No proper customer service

Airtel is the most horrible DTH service. Customer care is horrible. these are the issues:
1. I changed my location and my new location is around 500 mts from my old building. I tried the customer care several times but it was not reachable. Looks like they are more busy then the Prime minister of India.
2. After attempts over 2-3 days, I got through one . He started speaking in a weird humorous way cracking jokes on my query.
3. He took my request and sent me and sms with an id and told that engineer will come next day 10 am. However to my surprise, I got another sms in an hour or so from Airtel with the same id and said that Complain has been Resolved !.
4. I waited till next day 10 am at home leaving office work pending only to find that the engineer did not turn up. The phone number provided in the SMS was invalid.
5. I called up Airtel CC again, he again scheduled a new slot at 11 am. Again the engineer did not turn up.

Such is the pathetic service of Airtel DTH. You can visit the link below to read more reviews about Airtel DTH that are flooded with bad words:

Requesting all readers of this article to please stop opting for Airtel DTH.

AIRTEL DTH HD — no engineering support

given below is a copy of email i wrote to airteldth
i am an airtel dth customer for past 15 months
CUSTOMER ID: [protected]
on 11 aug 11 my tv started showing an error code SM2
i contacted your customer care and they said it was an installation error and asked me to keep the settop box on for another half an hour and problem will be resolved
the tv services started after half an hour to disappear again and SM 2 error code was shown
this process repested 6-7 times till i was told that since i had a HDDTH reciever i need to shift to a new satellite link to keep tv services
i lodged a fresh complaint on 17/18 aug 11
engineer reported on 18 aug 11 ( name mohammed, mobile no [protected]) and said he could not rectify the problem and left with the assurance that he will send somebody, however noone came to visit
again a fresh complaint was lodged and engineer reported on 20 aug 11, he opened the dish and as there was no electricity at that point of time, promised to return in an hour ( gave his moble no, [protected], name muzamil ) but he never returned on 20 aug. on 21 aug i gave a call to him and he promised to visit but did not. on 22 aug i gave him a call but said he could not attend to it.
on 22 aug around 1100 h i called up customer care and they gave me a slot of 1600h on 22 aug 11for engineer visit, and also registered a complaint against engineering support. however she asked me the details of the engineer who visited me and asked me to call again. again called customer support on 22 aug 11 at 1115 h approx and this time again they said complaint was registered.
nobody reported yet again to rectify the problem. at 1700h i called up a customer care executive who said that no such complaint was registered and asked me to register a fresh complaint. when i asked him to put a senior on line he DISCONNECTED the phone ( i believe customercare are no supposed to do that)
i called up yet again at around 1715h and asked for a supervisor to speak to me, after a long discussion and wait of ten mins or more i could speak to someone who claimed he was the senior on floor. he confirmed that my previous complaints have not been registered. lodged a fresh complaint for engineer visit and gave me an appointment of 24 aug 11 at 1700h. however he said he could not do anything for the visit scheduled on 22aug11 1600h to materialize and when asked if i could be reimbursed damges for non availability of tv services and the talktime spent on conversing with your customercare, he balatantly refused and told me it was my fault only that i did not register the complaint correctly.

THE AIRTEL DTH SERVICES ARE PATHETIC, ESPECIALLY IN PUNE

My Airtel Digital TV ID number is [protected]. I want to register my new number [protected], my old number was [protected]. When ever I recharged my account I never get a message from the Airtel Digital TV or even when my Airtel digital TV account is almost to be over. So, I request to always send a message to my number whenever my account is recharged or getting over.

Name – Rajesh Kumar
Customer Id – [protected],

No channels are displayed since last many days and no action is taken even after repeated complaints. Now when we call to complain the customer care executive is disconnecting the calls, after repeated reminders till date no body come, however, I have called many time to airtel customer care executive & try to talking with senior person they are not transferring call to them & disconnecting the phone to saying that the senior persons are busy. I want to know to whom they working, only for customer then why they are not ready to talk customer on their problem.
Now I am totally fed-up with Airtel's horrible service & now decided if my problem is not resolve by today, will closed airtel connection.

I hope now at least this issue with be resolved.

I just got a call from somebody in Airtel, asking if they could come and collect my landline instrument, even though I had submitted it on 31/7/2010 !!! ??? I am now asked to pay 400-odd Rupees even though I have not been using the landline for the last 4 months at least!!! And this, inspite of the fact that I had received the following email on 14th Aug from Nodal.Southabts:-

I look forward to a resolution of this issue asap, as it is causing me
enormous mental anguish and pain.

Thanking you,

This is the same way that they do decide to treat. The billing department has been worse i thought but the collection department without the bill details want the payment and do decide to hang up without any sense. This is the worse tele caller i have ever dealt with and she has the guts to hang up when speaking.

I am never going to Airtel for this pathetic service.

Need Airtel broadband services


I have exact same issue as the gentlemen above stated regarding the feasibility in our area Sector-15 Rohini, Delhi 110085. its been almost like 3 years i am trying to get Airtel BB but its still not feasible ? 15-20 yards from my home is feasible... its rubbish..
