AirTel — sim not functional

I purchased the air tel sim from the airtel service provider from the agent at hisar cantt , which was working well till 22oct 10. the outgoing and incoming facilities to the sim were debarred since the date mentioned above. On contacting the service agent, he told that the services will resume after depositing the photos and identification proof. these documaents handed over to the agent on 29 sept10. Is this is my fault or the agent's . Above that inspite of reptted reminders the sim is still not functional. I believe the agent is non responsive to rectify the problem which is not in your company's interest .Such agents are spoiling the customer relations with your company. Therefore it is requested that this agent who is located in the shopping complex of hisar cantt should be blacklisted and his license be ceased with imediate effect. I would also like to inform u that he is insisting the customers to purchase sim of other cmpanieis than airtel. my sim no is [protected]. and the agent /service provider is located in Hisar cantt.

    This is really a very tragic situation now a days in India that almost every telecom company had an excessive billing complaint against them. But mine is a different case I have a proof as in most other cases consumers are being cheated as every thing rest with the operator they will give you details that your usage is this much and you got to believe them because you have no other source and in fact this must be a matter of debate as this things purely lies in the hands of operator and I think court will also take it as a proof. I have found and even started implementing switching to prepaid is a better option. My airtel postpaid no [protected] I have used almost for a year or so. I was billed around 2000+ every month as I was using some data application which was really costing me high. I was using 1 GB data plan MO @599 or so. Company has then launched two plans one of 2GB @99 only and one is unlimited @400+. Now my first argument is that when a consumer is using less data as in my case of 1 GB at higher price and company has introduced low rate plan which offers 2GB @ just 99 by default consumer using same service at higher price must be switched to a lower plan or You have to contact a consumer and inform them about low rate plan I don't think there is not even a fool that can't understand which is a better choice for him or her. But company did nothing in this case only sent me one message that too informing me about unlimited plan @400+ which shows how greedy attitude company management has towards consumer and I was simply asked to send a message for switching to new plan. As I was not aware that I have a low rate plan of just 99 in which I get 2GB download and which is sufficient for me I could easily opted for it as it would have saved me 400+ rupees still I though to switch to option shown to me as it is still saving my few bucks. I sent them message for activation of same. I was on roaming at that time and No telecom operator is offering local customer care service to roaming customers. When I returned to my home circle I contacted to customer care then one executive by accident gave me information on Rs.99 plan I said this would be an excellent offer for me I told him to switch my plan to this new one and also informed him that I have sent sms from roaming location for activation o[censored]nlimited plan which as per airtel policy once activated you will be charged for a complete month even if you terminate it next day I told him to confirm same and I was replied no system is not showing your unlimited plan made active in your account then I said ok you activate my Rs.99 plan when I received the bill I don't have a word to explain company has charged me 1 GB plan with extra usage and then charged my Rs.400 for new unlimited plan in same month Now in any case it will make you hyper tense when you see such an illegal thing being made legal and with authenticity I was very hyper tense I contacted nodal officer and told him over phone he was still saying that no it's company policy I said how can you charge twice for offering same services then he realized that company will be in trouble if they do so then he waved off my unlimited plan rental and I paid bill without making much a dispute. As I was feeling excessive billing problem I have decided to cancel my no and I went to airtel office at deep chamber crossing in manjalpur and said to them I want to cancel connection. They told me to wait for 4-5 days as my billing cycle was about to get there. So I liked their advice and waited for 4-5 days and went on to cancel connection on that day their system was not working all over gujarat they said you come after 1-2 days I said no my billing date is starting from today I want to close it now you take my written request they said you do one thing send e-mail on 121 your connection will be closed from same day I did that I got reply by sms that your connection is cancelled from today but Your no will remain active as rent free for 7 more days. Now I didn't want to use that no I switched off mobile when I went to their office for making a payment of my last bill which is around 750 or so I was told to make a payment of 1300+ as they said you have an unbilled usage on your phone I said what rubbish you are talking I have cancelled my no on first day of my new billing cycle how I have an outstanding unbilled usage they told me you have sent sms from your mobile. I was really engry and contacted customer care from their office no and said You have confirmed my last billed amount is 750 and now your people asking me to pay double he also replied you have some unbilled usage now that was surprising and irritating me company has openly cheated me on paper for billing me twice for one service and now they claimed that I have made usage after disconnection. I told them I am not going to pay for your illegal claim If you want me to pay last bill amount I am ready they said you have to pay total due amount in your account to terminate your connection. As I have to go out for a month to attain my duty I said If you are not willing to except my payment then it is ok when you want to collect the last bill amount collect it from my residence. After that I went on to my duty place when I returned I got one letter from airtel asking me to pay 1000+ amount which is still higher I don't want to respond to such illegal claim I didn't approach any one. Now today I got a mobile call on my other no. one lady who identified her self as Neha Malhotra was talking with me in very indisciplined manner I told her everything that I was charged for not using services She told me to pay 1000+ amount and then told me to pay you have 1600 debit in your account we are processing for a legal case and she used the word "you are making fraud" mobile no from where that call has come was [protected] I am suffering from high blood pressure I was very angry when a lady is using such indisciplined word to an officer of ONGC so I have decide to raise this issue and teach them a lesson for their illegal demands. Please show me way how I can proceed. I don't have time or don't want to waste money for this.

          Hi Mr. Sunil,
          I'd like to appraise your goodself that I am carrying your esteemed company's connection for past 7 to 8yrs.I wasvery happy with the services being rendered to me.But in vain,from the last 8mths.Ihave received the worst of services from your company's end. I have been lodging complaints since last 8mths. in regarding to replacement of my cordless phone which is not working since then. Each time I give a call for registering a complaint I am assured from the service department within the next 24hrs. the complaint would be resolved.
          You would be surprised to know Mr.Sunil that without visiting my house the complaint is resolved and there is no solution to the complaint.Now I am left with no other alternate than to proceed to the consumer court with the kind of mental harrasment Iam going through. Before knocking the door of the consumer court I hope of hearing of some positive response from your end.(I NEED ONLY A CORDLESS SET NOT A LANDLINE SET)
          Thanking you,
          Yours Truly,

            My Mobile No. is [protected].On 6th of July 2010 Airtel Comedy Pack was activated on my mobile without my permission and Rs.30 was deducted as well.Next day early morning I went to the Race Course branch of Airtel and I called the customer care from their phone.The guy sitting on the phone agreed to credit my Rs. 30 back in my account.After 2 days of not receiving I went again and another caller took the phone sayin ur complaint was not registered so I am registering now and you will get.After another 4 days when I did not receive and I call a girl named Sudha(customer care) took my information and told me that within 4 hours I would receive my balance.Its more than one week now and I still did not receive.This is a case of pure theft by Airtel.They deduct my balance without my knowledge and then they dont return it back.

            I would request the authorities especially the Telecom Authority to know the various ways these so called service providers cheat people of their hard earned money.I hope Justice will be delivered

            My Mobile No. is [protected].On 26th of March[protected].30pm) Airtel VIDEOTALKIES_30 pack was activated on my mobile without my permission(Automatically)and Rs.30 was deducted as well & my cell is not compatible for that.On same day I called up Airtel complaint no.198, & the lady Executive Apurva took my complaint & Gave me the complaint no. : ROVAD[protected] & agreed to credit my Rs. 30 back in my account within 24 Hrs.On next day I again called up on the same no. for verification & another new guy sitting there told me that no such complaint is there for your mobile no. then once again he raised another complaint for the same reason & gave me complaint no. : CBDOV[protected], & again told me that you will get your refund within 48 Hrs.
            Then on 28th March at 11.40pm in the night i tried to call on Airtel complaint no.198 but my no. was get deactivated for the same Airtel complaint no. So i called from my friends mobile no. on Airtel complaint no. & spoke with executive told him both the complaint no.'s he told that both are wrong & he will transfer my call to senior person.
            While transferring the call i don't know how it gets dropped so i again called on Airtel complaint no. from my friends mobile no.& spoke with another executive told him both the complaint no.'s he told that he will transfer my call to senior person & again call get dropped after 1min & since then i didn't get any revert from them.
            so today (29th March 2012) I again called on Airtel complaint no. from my friends mobile no. Asked customer care executive for refund told him all scenarios & complaint no.'s he told that he will transfer the call senior person & transfer too but the no. was continuously ringing approximately till 10 min & then call gets dropped.
            Again I tried to do the same but this time the Airtel complaint no. 198 was get deactivated on my friend's mobile no. too.
            It is really very horrible experience with such well named & well credited company like Airtel.I still did not receive my wrongly deducted balance.
            This is a case of pure theft by Airtel.They deduct my balance without my knowledge and then they dont return it back.
            I would request the authorities especially the Telecom Authority to know the various ways these so called service providers cheat people of their hard earned money.I hope Justice will be delivered ???

                  Dear Sir/Mam

                  I am working with a reputed bank as manager and using Airtel since long but now as my bank has tie up with Vodafone so i had to change my number and i requested Airtel to convert my postpaid connection to Prepaid.

                  I want to put into your knowledge that i had to visit the Airtel outlet (Rohini-Sec 7) 5 time for the same but still not done because of system failure and irresponsible behaviour of the staff. There was no chair to sit and no staff to listen you. At last i decided to quit my Airtel number.

                  I also want to highlight that one of their staff named Kisore was very irresponsible - he moved out from the outlet when i enterd. i also dropped a written complaint against him in the complaint box.

                  Prier to this episode there was a good image of Airtel and its network and services in my mind but now i will never ever use Airtel and not will advise anyone to go for Airtel. They are not able to manage their customers now as they also started to charge 50 paise on every 3rd minute when we call to customer care which we are bound to pay.

                  Please take some strick action to correct all these so that other customer does not face the same problem.

                  Regards

                  Airtel Prepaid — Irresponsible Staff

                  It's bad experience with Irresponsible staff of Airtel. I had brought prepaid connection ([protected]) and in between I had lost SIM, hence I brought a duplicate SIM with the same number and the outlet lady asked me to pay Rs50 instead of Rs25 and they did not gave me invoice for the same. However even I was in emergency so even did not bothered. Now on other next day SIM card registration was failed for the same I wanted to register complaint but customer care representatives are same as there other departments so they are least bother about customers issues so they used place my call on hold and disconnect my call finally I went ahead a next step and called Nodal officer where the lady said my line is disconnected due to zero usage in last 3months but when I asked check my call details and recharge details finally she agreed there was an usage but due to insufficient access she asked me contact the Appellate authorities rather I would say this department is illogical, arrogant and rejection team. As when explained my issue to Appellate agent Mr. Sreelaxmi he said replied with the same but finally after 2 days he called up and said I can get the same number for which again I need to visit outlet and submit all my documents again but when I asked him about my previous talk time and activation of GPRS package amount he clearly said he can't refund that. Really I don't understand why can't they refund my balance for which I have paid.. Totally airtel do not care for there customers.

                    I opted for a roaming booster pack and paid Rs.42/- for the roaming booster. I also have a regular booster face value Rs74/- by which my calls to Airtel mobiles should be charged Rs.0.20 and other moile and land line at Rs.0.50. But when ever I call any number Paise 55 is being debited to my account. I want to know why.

                      Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

                      Hi,

                      I was approached by an Airtel representative (Rohan) to check if I was interested to get myself an Airtel Broadband connection. I asked him to come down to my residence to discuss further. He promptly cam down & briefed me about the various broadband packages that Airtel provides & I zeroed down on a package as per my needs. He then filled in the registration form on my behalf & I signed the same. He handed me the customer copy & also collected some id proofs as part of the documentation process. I was then asked to pay Rs.2000/- (Thousand rupees as the initial rental & activation charges and another thousand as a one time modem procurement fee) which I paid in cash. I was told that the technician would visit my place in two days to install the modem and activate my broadband connection. However, I waited for about 15 days but didn't hear from anybody. I then called Airtel Customer Support and was told that they have logged a complaint and provided me a ticket number (Compliant No[protected]. I was asked to scan the customer copy that I had and email the same to the representative's id (siddarameshwar.[protected]@airtel.in) which I did. I was told that the refund department would get back to me within two days. Again, I received no call. Then after frequent follow-ups I was finally told that they had no sales representative by name Rohan & that the registration book that he was carrying could have been stolen & that I will not receive any refund for the money that I paid. I never expected Airtel to behave in such a manner. When I have submitted all the proofs related to the payment that I made, I expected them to empathize the situation I was in and refund the money that I paid. I am a true Airtel customer having their mobile connection for over 7 years now and this is the worst ever service I have had with them.

                      I need help in getting my refund and charges for all the trauma that I have undergone with their behavior.

                      Thanks & Regards,

                      I still am awaiting for resolution inspite of providing the requested information... This is the most pathetic level of service that I have seen till date.
                      Dear Sir/Madam

                      I stay in Bangalore and I have a grievance. I don’t know weather to address this as a grievance or abuse by the Airtel personnel. I have been using Airtel cell phone connection for past 8 years and have not faced any major problems keeping that and the reputation in mind I decided to go for Airtel broadband connection. I kept on getting calls from Airtel personnel to have the same activated. Mr. Rakshit ([protected]) came to my house checked for the feasibility and informed me that it could not be done as no ports were available. I accepted that and decided to go for Reliance, however the next day another personnel called me and informed me that it was possible and a person called Mr. Veera[protected] came to my house and checked everything once again and confirmed it was definitely possible and collected the necessary documents and on month’s advance (Rs.899) and left assuring me that within 4 working days it would be done. On the 4th day on calling Mr. Veera up he informed that the technical person would come only in the afternoon and by 6:00 Hrs the internet would be up and running. It was informed to Mr. Veera that the only convenient time for me during the day would be before 12:00 noon. Mr. Veera promised me that the next day it would be done. I waited till noon next day and then called up Mr. Veera; getting no response I got the number for Mr.Mithun ([protected]) who was supposed to be the manager. Mr. Mithun confirmed to me that he would check with Mr. Veera and get back to me by 16:00Hrs. Again that never happened. So the next day again I called up Mr. Veera who assured that it would be done in next few days since there was some problem with the line. I also called up Mr. Mithun to cross the check the same (this is where my frustration reaches the peak) and on doing so Mr. Mithun says the connection would not be possible and he had forgotten to inform me the day before and hands over the phone to Mr. Venkatesh who was apparently his manager. I have never in my life come across such an arrogant and dumb (apologies for being blunt) client service manager. Mr. Venkatesh informed the same thing and informed me the money would be refunded. After going through all this Mr. Venkatesh bluntly informed me that the money can be refunded only via Cheque and it would take a minimum of 15 working days. I informed Mr. Venkatesh that I had paid by cash and want the money in cash and I would definitely not want to wait for 15 days before I get the money. Mr. Venkatesh came out with the most interesting comment and stated and I quoted “900 bucks is not a big amount and will be paid back”. I don’t know how Airtel pays their employees but in my firm I work for every rupee and YES 900 BUCKS IS A BIG AMOUNT FOR ME.

                      This incident is very annoying and disturbing as a reputed firm like Airtel is cheating their customers. I work in a firm which uses Airtel support for internet and handsets. I will make sure that this incident is circulated in my firm as well as all of our allies unless my issue is sorted out at the earliest. The behavior of all above mentioned employees is unbelievable and unacceptable. I had informed them I would be escalating this matter to the highest possible authority I their company but it never mattered to them. They are a shame to Airtel. I expected them to empathize the situation I was in and refund the money that I paid. I am a true Airtel customer having their mobile connection for over 8 years now and this is the worst ever service I have had with them.

                      I would wait for a positive response from your end at the earliest.

                      I am Vijay Kumar Saridena, took Airtel Hotspot Post paid advance rental connection [[protected]] and paid Rs 4, 950/-. The plan which i took was 68 GB per month, Rs 699/- per month.
                      But the plan which got activated on 18th September 2017 was 13 GB per month [ 4G[protected]M adv) ]. Please find the attached documents for more Information.

                      I had complained [on 11th October Reference no. 80200295] several times to Fathima, Imran Pasha but unfortunately right plan is not activated till now. This incident is very annoying and disturbing as a reputed firm like Airtel is cheating their customers. I am a true Airtel customer having their mobile connection since 2007 and this is the worst ever service I have had with them. I never faced such worst issue with Airtel and customer support is really bad and horrible. I had informed them I would be escalating this matter to the highest possible authority In their company but it never mattered to them.

                      I sincerely request your team to activate the right plan asap on high priority and I would like to know the compensation details for activating the wrong plan and continued for 3 months with 13 GB per month.

                      I would wait for a positive response from your end at the earliest.

                      Thanks & Regards

                        I have been receiving unwanted services like football updates, astrology, friendschat etc from 54321 which deducts Rs. 10 everytime from my prepaid balance. I have never registered to these services. After I request for deactivation , it again subscribes to these services after few days and deducts Rs. 10 from my balance. I request you to please urgently look into this issue.

                        Airtel Internet Connection — Unsolicited Subscription and balance deduction

                        It is very sad to noticed that there has been subscription to some videos, music without any of my knowledge while accessing internet. The thing is i dont even access this Airtel Live product so far
                        As soon as i access INTERNET(1 month Rs98subscripted) even thought its not Company related site, activation of subscription messages will inbox me and then goes the normal deduction everyday from last two week and till now.

                        And the extreme part is all the helpline could not take me to the support executive to inform and resolve these issue although i have change my prefered language calling like 123 to English but remain same as local while calling 121,198.

                        I would not even mind if my internet connection is totally block but atleast please stop unsolicited subscription to me and unauthorise balance deduction.

                        Thank you-Shatsang([protected])

                        i have lost Rs. 200 with this unknown reasne on deduction.

                        AirTel — Unwanted subscription of service

                        Sir,
                        This is to inform you that I am a user of Airtel with phone number [protected]. Property alert service was automatically subscribed on my number without any prior information to me at the rate of Rs 30 per month. Everyday these people are deducting balance from my number without any reason.
                        I am fed up of airtel's pathetic consumer service.
                        If this service is not stopped on my number I would definitely take appropriate actions against Airtel.
                        Please be quick in your response.
                        Thank you

                        UNDER MY PHONE NO [protected],WHEN I CHECKED THE BALANCE,IT WAS ZERO.IT SEEMS THE SERVICE PROVIDER AIRTEL IS GOING UNDER TYPE OF DIFFICULTIES THEREFORE DEDUCTING PETTY AMOUNT FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS IS NOT UNDERSTANDABLE..
                        DESPITE THE FACT THAT NEITHER I RANG THEM NOR I DID ANY TYPE OF MESSAGE FOR ANY VAS. THEREFORE MY ACCOUNT SHOULD BE CREDITED TO THE RESPECTIVE AMOUNT SO DEDUCTED AT THE EARLIEST ELSE I WILL BE FORCED TO USE THE PORTABILITY METHOD TO GET FOUR(4 MOBLE NOS) OF MY AND MY FAMILY MOBILE NOS SWITCH OVER.

                          sir/ma'm,
                          i'm an airtel customer for post paid for the past three years, i've paid my bills in time, until recently when i've shifted my home to jubilee hills, i'm unable to find a proper place to pay my bills, i've asked several collection executives to collect the money, they do so for one month and the next they move to other companies and again i've to call the customer centre to send me another executive. this takes a min. of two onths and again it goes into record that i'm defaulting. everytime some call centre people call me when i'm extremely busy and they keep wasting our time, asking for the confirmation of our billing address and so on all non-sense stuff...
                          so i made a request to the customer care to arrange for the collection executive, instead they've disconeected my connection and now they warn and the customer executive whom i spoke threatens that i better pay the amount or the connection be removed.

                          i'm shocked the way the airtel is working, besides i tried to browse the airtel's website and had tried to get in access with the centres nearby to my place, the website is not working properly( select your region in Reach airtel of Post paid)...

                          i only hope that they may rectify this problem and not pose me hurdles in my busy life.

                              Dear Mr. Manoj,

                              Sorry Story is going on...i called the all the numbers given by you. Explained my story, some are ready to hear the story and some are without hearing the case forwarding to someone. I don't understood what is this?

                              I called Mr. Saji R Nair. First he told me to call the call centre .second he given a number and told me that he is not the concern person .you can call the office and inform the case.

                              I called to that number (office) several times .No one is responds to that calls.

                              Again you gave me another number of Airtel Representative .I talked to him .he patiently heard my case and he also give another number ...I tired to call that number.
                              No response ...actually it ringing......

                              I tired to call your call centre ......IVR system will tell you to press this and that .After long time of holding and hearing your ads, it will cut the line without transferring the call to call agents (concerned person)

                              To get this service today I made more than 30 calls to your colleagues and to call centre .Still there is nothing happen...........

                              List of numbers I called for this purpose

                              12150..............Call centre
                              [protected]...............Someone told me that its airtel office number

                                Following is the test of my complaint sent to AIRTEL people.

                                Dear Sir / Madam

                                I have booked a digital TV connection using your IVR service on 13.07.2010 at around 11.00 AM and have made a payment of Rs 1590/- by IVR using my credit card at that time itself.
                                Booking was done by one Mr Chris, in sales section who gave me transaction ID 9772226 and promised that within 72 hrs connection will be provided. Toady is the seventh day and there is no communication from your side.

                                Unfortunately your 24 x 7 toll free lines or customer care is very ill equipped to help me out. I have made numerous calls to customer care and it seems they are all parroting only one thing " we have forwarded your request to installation department and some one will call you in next 15 minutes or half an hr" but no response till now from your side even at this time when I am writing this complain.
                                If you are intersee to know name of some of those Call center executives, Shabanam, Nilesh, etc.

                                This is highly unprofessional attitude of AIRTEL, which is giving false claim of providing a connection and not making available any information to though you have my telephone number with you.

                                Kindly ensure that this connection is provided in next 24 hrs or make arrangement to refund my money immediately.

                                My details

                                We have also booked an airtel dth connection and have not received any intimation till now. It is more than 5 days now since we booked the dth. When the customer care is contacted, they delibrately cut the call or ask us to hold the line for a second which goes on for more than 10 minutes. After that, they cut the call. Is this how a pan-indian telecom company serves its customers? A very pathetic, horrible and highly unprofessional attitude of the airtel customer care people is visible here.

                                    I have Airtel DTH connection. It's showing NO SINGNAL since 18 July 2010. I was able to lodge complaint after 1 Hr continuously calling on CC no . Atlast at 14:05 I have got complaint No:3332789 and representative promised me it will be attended before 18:00 O'clock same day. But it was not attended, on next day when I have called to local Lucknow Service centre with reference to complaint number they have denied and told me They havn't received this complaint alloted. Local Lucknow centre has also given me Complaint No. B4 for the same but even after 10 number of reminder calls its not been attended.

                                    I am not able to understand How they are managing the services.

                                      Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

                                      My wife, Dhanya Shyam took an Airtel Broadband connection last year in Bangalore. Phone Number[protected], AC no[protected]. We got a first month bill of close to 30,000 and realized that though we had asked for an unlimited connection, we had been registered for a connection with a 4GB limit. When we looked through the overall bill we also realized that the charges were exorbitant and called the centre and told them so. We had been billed for lots o[censored]sage during times when werent even present at home. We duly raised this with Airtel and we had multiple back and forth again and again regarding the same.

                                      I personally spoke to a few people from the call centre and after much talking they came back and told us that we had to pay around 3000 for the bill and settle it once and for all. I said ok for the same and they promised to send me a revised bill, nothing came to us. We got a notice from Airtel telling us that they will institute proceeding against us to recover the money. I again called up and told them of the conversation and they again promised to come back with the revised amount.

                                      We didnt hear from them after that till date, I got a call today supposedly from Delhi High court and seems that legal proceedings have been started. I am not sure how Airtel can do something like this to paying customers. We have Airtel Digital TV and a few connections in Chennai, I have an airtel cell and a DTH connection in Hyd, I had Broadband too, before i moved to a place where there is no airtel BB coverage. My wife has an Airtel phone and had this BB connection. We are long time users of airtel and its sad that you guys are resorting to arm twisting even after we agreed to pay the revised amount.

                                      Can you please take swift action to prevent a fallout against this. The lawyer we were supposed to contact isnt helpful and keeps hanging up on me, the Case number is apparently 3033 and was filed by Sadhana Kaushik who is Airtel's legal counsel. I would expect a speedy response and resolution from Airtel. If my wife is harassed further, I will fight this tooth and nail and though u might seem to win this case, u will lose a very loyal customer and lakhs of rupees in future business.

                                      Its not just Airtel, the whole bunch of them are exploiting customers, I am a victim of excess billing by Reliance BroadBand. Made several complaints, got several complaint nos, got several calls from Reliance Mumbai. After a month of arguments etc had to cough up the money as my connection was cut. No hope of fairplay.

                                      What happened finally ??? i keep getttin same calls.
                                      Dear Airtel Service provider, & Airtel users...

                                      The same with me had taken a broad band connection in the year 2009.it was fine untill we relocated to very next cross hardly 300 meters & later i requested for shifting the land line & conection & also i got confirmation from airtel team it willbe taken care.but once when the executives came for shifting the line they went back without any information & after a week some officer from airtel came in stating that we would not be able to reconnect you since there is no DP box nearby where i have relocated & they informed me to surrender the instruments & everything with the person they will be sending later & i agreed tooo for that.after 2days i got a call from one person saying he had come to collect the instrument where i was not at home & i could not give the instruments back after that till date there was no call or mails from any of the airtel people & all this happened in the month of september 2010...suddenly in the month of Dec 2011 i am getting a call at 11:30Hrs that there is a final hereing at Delhi Highcourt at 12:00hrs & within half an hour i need to attand the court else the case will be proceeded & will be penalized a really huge amount...
                                      1) Is it really possible for any one to reach Delhi from bangalore in 30 mins
                                      2) If there is any case or hering there should be some kind of intimation or notice from court or from Airtel people.

                                      Is this is the right way for such a huge indias NO-1 service provider can do with any common people do.

                                      This complaint might be common for Airtel but it makes life misserable for individual common man...
                                      my account number is 16330415 and phone no [protected]. In the month of September in 2011 i filed a request to shift my connection. customer care promised that they will deactivate the connection and i do not have to pay any shifting charge..later i have been asked for shifting charge even the connection was not shifted and i regularly received the bill.. after talking to customer care may be around 100 times they told they cant shift the connection to my new place. again someday someone will call from customer care and will say its possible and some other day someone will call and say its not possible..meanwhile i was getting all the bill. finally after so much fighting they told they will cancel my connection and no bill will be generated..even after that i was receiving bill and they also had my address wrong in their database where i still have the copy of the form while taking connection which has correct address. Today 21st april 2012 i received a call from some jatin from delhi and he asked to speak with sadhana ...i spoke with her and she told me that i have a case from airtel and i have to pay 23, 000. then she said i can make the payment immediatley and nothing will happen or else i need to come delhi in half an hour as the court has issued a notice and i missed three hearing......i never ever got anything from them..no call..no response..nothing...i several times asked the customer care to give me a final figure and to cancell the connection..i even received an email from them saying the service is cancelled and i dont have to pay..but some 400 rupees...i was not using the connection and its been a year ..why should i pay even a silly amount for the service i have not used and when they tol dit was cancelled...i though made the payment today and asked customer care not to raise any further bill...when i was calling customer care with my phone number then its saying that phone number provided by you is incorrect...I would like to find this sadhana kaushik...and as well would like to meet up the managers...anyone facing problem like this please get in touch me at [protected]@yahoo.co.in as i belive airtel today is playing with customers. ..anyone facing such kind of situation please share here...

                                        Address: Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

                                        Honorable Sir(s)/Madam(s),

                                        I would like to file a major complaint against Bharti Airtel Limited for Extortion calls, Harassment, Mental Trauma and Breech of Privacy.

                                        My Name - Hirdesh Mordani
                                        My Airtel Number (N/A anymore) - [protected]

                                        I have been a committed and devoted customer of Airtel Mobile & Broadband Services for the last 5-6 years until this year a couple of months ago.

                                        In January 2010, I switched my mobile phone from a Nokia to a BlackBerry and opted for the Rs.1099 BlackBerry Plan with Airtel. I used it for almost a month to only realize I never actually used the Internet browsing and was only using the BlackBerry Messenger and Email (Which came also in a Rs.299 Plan).

                                        However, by the end of the month I called Airtel Postpaid Customer Support and asked the staff who I was speaking to about what other BlackBerry plans they had. Firstly, I think it is very disappointing that Airtel places their fresher trainees in the Postpaid department who hardly understand any English nor can they communicate and solve any issues regarding their services.

                                        Anyway, I still decided to co-operate with the trainee. Although I was aware of the regular plans that Airtel had for BlackBerry, i.e:- Rs.1099 (Full Browsing, Emails, Chats, Etc) and Rs.299 (Only Chats and Emails, No Browsing), I still wanted to verify this incase there were any new offers, etc. The staff also mentioned about only these 2 plans to me and nothing else.

                                        I chose the Rs.299 plan and confirmed that with the staff more than once, after which he said, No problem sir, your plan will be activated within 4 hours or less. My plan indeed did get activated right after I received a text message from Airtel saying BlackBerry Prosumer Plan activated or something else, I really wish I remembered, Although I'm definitely sure it didn't include what plan it was, whether Rs.299 or what.

                                        Anyhow, I seemed to be enjoying my new BlackBerry plan and it's email solutions until 10 days later, I mistakenly clicked on a Facebook link on my email. Surprisingly, Facebook opened in the internet browser of the BlackBerry and I was shocked.

                                        I called Airtel Customer Support to clarify why was I able to access Internet Browsing on my Rs.299 BlackBerry plan, to which they told me I was on a Rs. 243 BlackBerry Plan where everything I do, Internet Browsing, Email, Chats, BlackBerry Messenger, is all chargeable by the KiloByte. I was astounded. I immediately checked my outstanding balance only to find out that in those 10 days, I had an outstanding bill of Rs. 4817.

                                        After which, my life has become living hell due to Bharti Airtel Limited. I have had hundreds of calls from them asking for the payment. I co-operated with each and every call of theirs, because it's not something I'm trying to run away from. It's a mistake caused by a foolish Airtel employee. I have explained by case from scratch to a different Airtel staff whenever they called atleast 15-20 times after which I gave up and refused to repeat my case.

                                        Although I never stopped answering their calls. Each and everytime someone would hear my case out, they'd say "Sir, kuch settlement kar lete hai" which I found very unethical of such a huge organisation such as Airtel. Everytime they'd say, "Okay sir, If we waiver your BlackBerry charges, can you at least pay your outstanding for Phone Calls and Text Messages ?" to which I have always agreed and asked them where would they like me to pay the bill (Which they told me themselves was of Rs.625 without BlackBerry Charges). They would always say they'd get back to me on that and then after a few days someone else would call and the case would go back to square 1 where I'd still have to pay Rs.4817.

                                        After a couple of weeks, Airtel did the most cheap, unethical, unprofessional, childish thing anyone could ever do. They started calling my family members, my relatives, my friends, my juniors, my seniors, anyone's number they could possibly get from my personal calls made from my airtel number and started calling them and harassing them and talking to them rudely and asking them to tell Hirdesh (me) to pay his bills.

                                        There was then this one day, I got yet another call from an Airtel staff. My god, I was baffled at the way she spoke to me.

                                        Me: "Hello ?!"
                                        Airtel Staff: "Good Evening, Main Airtel Se Baat Kar Rahi Hoon."
                                        Me: "Yes ?"
                                        Airtel Staff: "Sir, Aapka Rs.4817 ka Bill pending hai, kabhi bhar rahe ho ?"
                                        Me: "Kabhi Nahi." (Ofcourse after all that I've been through with Airtel, I'm not going to repeat my case yet again)
                                        Airtel Staff: "Kya Kabhi Nahi, Sab Photkat (Free) Mein Chahiye Kya ?"
                                        Airtel Staff: "Aukad Nahi Hai Kya ? Chup Chaap Apna Bill Bhar Do."
                                        Me: "What do you mean ? Is this the way to speak to a customer ?"
                                        Airtel Staff: "Bhenchod Teri Maa Kaa, Maderchod.........................." And 'SHE' hung up

                                        Wow. After this, I will go to jail if I have to, but over my dead body am I going to pay this very Airtel Bill. Infact I should be compensated for such rowdy behavior. Bharti Airtel, one of the biggest leading mobile services, behaves this way. All I required was some sort of proof that I had indeed consumed that Rs.4817 and I would have paid it. I'm not running away from my bills. I just don't want to pay for something that I haven't used.

                                        I have also received a letter saying I have to be present at some "Lok Nyayalaya" Court on the 24th of July, 11:00 AM for not paying my bill of Rs.4817.

                                        We the public must be really stupid to tolerate such behavior. It has to stop.

                                        Your Honor, I sincerely hope I get justice in this case.

                                        Thanks & Regards,

                                        Hirdesh Mordani
