Airtel Prepaid Complaints - Forgery Through Subscription Packs - chennai.

Hi all,

Airtel in chennai is cheating people by deducting money without consumer's knowledge by subscribing them to the paid value added services. Even though i have not enabled any service pack and all, they are
deducting money.

I have been charged for a few subscription packs regularly without my knowledge - eg: Animation Pack - Rs.15, McPack - Rs.15 two times. so totally Rs. 45 in one month.

I have not enabled any cricket pack and all, but one day i have received one message, which tells, your cricket pack validity is closed by today and please recharge your cricket pack today, like that i have received.

If Airtel is reading this, please refund the money or I will have to report this matter to the consumer court.

Regards
Sankar

Airtel Prepaid — Forgery Through Subscription Packs

Hi

Airtel in Maharashtra is cheating people by deducting money without consumer's knowledge by subscribing them to the paid value added services.

I have been charged for a few subscription packs regularly without my knowledge - eg: Sai Baba Pack - Rs.10, Airtel Talkies Pack - Rs.30

If Airtel is reading this, please refund the money or I will have to report this matter to the consumer court and to the police.

Regards

My prepaid balance is getting deducted for a services which I never activated.

When I called to airtel call center they debited back amount which has been deducted and told me that all services have been deactivate.

but after few days again I same thing happen.

After talking to nodal officer of airtel I got very poor response.

They are not ready to accept tihere mistake. They are saying that I have activated the services and thats why they are charging for that.

On one hand they are saying its not there fault and on other hand they debited back my balance.

I am planning to go in consumer court now.
plz kindly deactivate sai baba package from my phone number
and my number is [protected]

    Since the day I have taken the connection I have been facing the problem of frequent disconnection. I have mad numerous complaints to Airtel customer care which has resulted in work arounds to provide temporary solution but the problem has never been fully rectified. The maximum time after the providing a work around the connection has worked is a day.

    Even after repeated complaints for a complete solution no one has been able to resolve the problem. I want to file a complaint against Airtel to refund the money which I have paid for the services which I have not received.

      Dear Sir/ Madam,
      Please go through the mail which i had sent to you on 24th June 2008, after several complaints made to 121 and mail sent to Air tel121 through email, As of today nothing had been done to set right the Narasingapuram/ Ritchie street towers.

      I have contacts With HNI`s and VVIP`s. Every day i contact or they call me. As i am in conversation, the voice brakes as well as get disconnected. What would they think is i am avoiding them. A few of them miss understood me and stopped contacting me. Hence i am the loser.
      As this number i am holding from day one of my mobile, i am not in a position to deactivate it. If you are not taking this seriously. Then i shall forward this complaint to Consumer complaints forum and all forward copies to the Media.

      Dear Sir/Madam,
      I am an Air tel Customer since 2002. I was holding this number as prepaid initially and got it converted to Postpaid later.
      I have been facing signal problem at the Narasingapuram tower in particular since Oct 06. I have made several complaints to 121 & emails to [protected]@airtelindia.com on several occasions. The problem is not set right. The vendor insisted on internal antenna which is of no use as there is no improvements.
      In my name i have the following Air tel connection.
      [protected](postpaid), [protected] & [protected] (prepaid).[protected] Postpaid in my brother`s name.
      all the above phones do face the same problem.

      I have 2 Aircel, cell one and a Hutch connection too. I do not have any issues.

      Please send a technical person from Air tel. Not a vendor and get the problem sorted or else i will surrender all Air tel lines.
      With Regards,
      N.G.Harikumar.

      PS: This would be my final complaint.

        My name is Mrs. Babita Pathak and I am a subscriber of airtel internet data card connection. I have taken a connection from last March '10 for Rs. 999/ with unlimited surfing facilities. My connection No is [protected] . My complaint is 1. The bill haven't reached me till date i.e. 26th April when the last date of payment is 27th of each month. When asked I was told it has been delivered to my neighbour on 16th april. which is not so.None of my neighbours have recieved any bill for me. 2. The billing amount has exceeded then the mentioned amount at the time of connection. When enquired about it I was told that certain WAP services have been activated in my packages. Which to my knowledge have never subscribed to. I have requested to discontinue with WAP services immediately and I was told it will be stopped after 4 hrs. but I still see those messages coming to me. I would request the concerned authorities to please look into the matter and do the needful immediately so that my bill doesn't get effected next month. Also the bill should be deliverd to my given address from next month onwards.

              Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

              I write this in disgust. I felt like an when I had walked into the Bangalore - Indranagar relationship center next to Adidas showroom.
              My blackberry service was disconnected without prior notice while I was on roaming [April 17]. I did not call the customer care immediately as I had bitter experience on the incompetent and misleading advice and did not want to waste money while on these stupid suggestions while roaming.
              When I got back to Bangalore I had sent the message for activation PNP 8520 to 121 assuming that there might have been a clogged network and might have got disconnected due to some failure. But to my surprise a message returned stating that there already a request in progress and I will have to wait. So I did for a day.
              When nothing resolved I tried the blackberry helpline 7070. Where they told me these exact same words.. " You will have to make edge to capitals sir to get it working ". Now I know that edge has to be caps if the data service has to work, I had called her to find out why and she gives me back the same problem that I told her. I had to follow her useless steps of switching off my handset and removing the SIM and battery leave it for 3 mins and then putting all this back and restarting it. And for no reason I did this. It still dint work.
              I tried calling another person and he says to me that my BB service is active and I need to call the GPRS helpline who will then deactivate my GPRS and send me a new GPRS setting and within 4 working hours my service will be up and running. So I did call the GPRS helpline only to know that another clown was waiting there to read some steps out from a book in his mother tongue influenced English accent. And all the options and steps he was telling was for a phone other than blackberry. So I had to shake him up from his sleep and remind him my entire tragic story emphasising the fact that I own a Blackberry handset. Then he immediately had one response for me. "Please call 7070", wow ! Now I felt like an dumb person who cant communicate, I had clearly told him that the airtel bb helpline had directed me to him. So now he puts me on to his supervisor, who again has no clue. Again a dead end.
              My calls continue, I try all possible methods suggested by various incompetent AIRTEL service team. Finally I made it to the relationship center at Indranagar Bangalore on Friday April 23 2010.
              There is this dedicated person for Blackbery customers, If anyone is from Bangalore and been to this center you will notice this person who wears a french Beard well groomed person. Well nothing much said, please beware of this person! He is the most cunning and zero trustworthy person whom I have ever come across.
              I had patiently explained all my problem to him. He listened to me, made me comfortable, walked to one of the billing agent [Preeti], whispered something and told me that she would address my issue. I walked to her with all hopes. Hoping that she already knew my problems, I keep myself brief and told her that my BB service is deactive. She had a simple answer for me... " We have withdrawn the service for prepaid customers" that puzzled me cos I had spoken to atleast 20 customer service agents who never told me this. So I asked her who decided that and why was it not notified, for that she told me that she does not know and all that she knows it that the service has been withdrawn. I told her that I know another person who has a prepaid number and is not facing the issue, for that she said that for some numbers they have not withdrawn, now thats ridiculous. So I asked her why it has been withdrawn, she says there are technical issues. So I ask her to give me the data that justifies her comment, she immediately picks up the phone and dials some number and told me that she will put me with a person who can answer my question, now why do I have to do that. Anyways she did not dial a valid number that i could see, she pretended to talk to someone and just hung up by telling me that since my balance was not cut I should be happy cos there are customers whose balance was cut. Thats not a relevant answer.
              I would not blame her completely, the bearded man had instructed her to say so, but thats not how you treat a customer.
              I walked out and called the customer care again to find out whether they have any news of the withdrawal of the service from the prepaid customers. They did not know of any.
              I am using this Airtel connection for the Past 2 years, faced hardships like this before, incompetent call center agents, bad service etc but never had to feel like an like this. This has made me rethink about the Service provider.
              Well my calling continued and finally it stands at a state where one woman has taken my complaint and assured me that the issue will be resolved by April 27 2010. Which I dont believe.
              Whether or not the BB service is back and running on my phone, I have decided to exhaust the balance in my phone by the end of this month. I will starting my relationship with a better service provider who will offer me the same service.

              You ask me for my mobile number to resolve my issue. Please look back at how many complaints have been made and still the resolution is pending.

              Please do not pretend. And do not have an automated response machine for customer grievances.

              Airtel has let the users down. If you do not resolve, get ready for the downfall.

                I have got a data card connection from airtel of Rs/ 999. But my bill for the month of April has come for Rs/ 1450/. when I tried finding out it was told to me that certain WAP services have been activated. Then I immediately requested to deactivate those services from my package. I hope those charges will be not be included in my next month bill. Thanking you for your support and help.

                  I am having continuous problem with Set Top Box since last 6 months. The signal goes off suddenly and a red light beeps on the front side of Set Top Box. I have been making complaints each time this problem happens but the service engineer does not come. Also, I am told each time that there will a charge of Rs.100/= for each visit of engineer as the set top box is not covered under warranty now.
                  I have lost almost 10 days of viewing in last 6 months, which goes unaccounted but Airtel will charge me Rs.100 for a visit of engineer when there is a problem with the box. Why??? Why should a customer pay for an inferior Chinese make Set top box???

                  I made a complaint on toll free number 1215023, vide # 2525737 ( attended by Karan ) on Sunday morning (25th April 2010). I was told that engineer will come at 3pm. Later around 4pm I get a SMS on cell that the ‘Set Top Box’ problem has been resolved.

                  I fail to understand how and who has sent this SMS without the engineer coming and without the problem being resolved???
                  I filed a complaint again vide # 2529153 ( spoke Sandeep and then with Aadarsh) who said that the engineer will come at 9pm on 25th April 2010) but we waited till 10pm and no one came.
                  The whole Sunday I waited for the engineer to come and had to cancel 2 meeting, thereby resulting in financial loss for me. Who will pay for this?? The Set top box is still not working and as we all are working, no one will be at residence from 7am till 8pm.
                  Please let me know how this problem will be resolved?
                  Who will pay for the meetings I cancelled and waited the whole Sunday at home?
                  How will Airtel compensate for minimum 10 days of lost vewing of TV due to Set Top Box problem?

                  I feel there is a deliberate attempt to spoil the Set Top Box to either divert the connection illegally to some other viewer or to earn money by sending the engineer to visit.

                    Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

                    Here is the mail i have put to the Airtel nodal office today...

                    Dear Mr. Rao

                    It is sad that I have had to write this but right now I am prepared to write to Mr. Sunil Mittal too...

                    Our woes started when we decided to buy an LCD and a DTH connection to watch the IPL matches. When we bought an LG LCD on April 11, 2010 from E-Zone Chembur, we were presented with an offer of a free Airtel DTH connection. As I am writing to you today, the connection has not been installed yet. Its been 15 days and we have missed 15 days of matches.

                    The situation is not only dissatisfying but has resulted in an irreparable damage. The situation has been brought about by the apathy of your personnel Ganesh ([protected]) and Balvinder ([protected]).

                    We have hence decided to forgo the free connection and the Rs 440 we paid to buy the activation coupon. As a customer and a shareholder in the company the transaction has left us dissatisfied and angry.

                    List of events:

                    LG LF 70 LCD bought from E-Zone Chembur
                    The offer voucher (free Airtel DTH) was not available with E-Zone till April 15, 2010. On April 15, 2010 we were asked to buy activation coupon worth Rs 440. The commitment given was that by April 17, 2010 the installation will be done.
                    On April 17, 2010 the E-Zone Manager was in discussion with Ganesh from Airtel DTH (his telephone number is [protected]) for installation but Ganesh stopped receiving calls.
                    On sunday also Ganesh didnt take any call. On Monday I was able to speak to him and he told me that information passed to him was wrong hence the activation didn’t happen over the weekend and hence the installation can be done now i.e., April 19, 2010
                    I told him that we are a working couple and hence cannot get installation done on a weekday. I asked him for a solution like a late evening installation. Which he categorically refused.
                    It was decided that the installation will be done on Saturday April 24, 2010
                    The whole weak I kept calling him to confirm time but he kept telling me that he will call back and inform which he never did.
                    On April 21, 2010 I was to come back home early by 1630hrs and I called him if he could send engineers for installation but he again refused.
                    On Saturday April 24, 2010, Ganesh neither took any call nor replied to any SMS of mine. We then contacted Balvinder (telephone number [protected]) who said that our installation has been delayed because billing through E-Zone is central and hence it takes many days for the local office (Mumbai) to receive the details. So the installation will be done by Monday April 26, 2010
                    I again told him that we are a working couple and cannot get the installation done on a weekday so requested him for an installation on April 24… He said that on April 24 it is not possible but he will make sure it happens by April 25 (Sunday)
                    On Sunday he also stopped taking calls and sent an SMS that the request has been forwarded to the relevant department.

                    Although I am writing this - I am sure there will be no reply from Airtel to this complaint…

                    Cheers!

                    Airtel DTH sucks. I am from chennai. Have airtel mobile, broadband. I liked their service and trusted that the same would happen in Airtel DTH connection too. Even though i paid Rs 2640, 5 days back, still the installation didn't take place. Virti Infocom and Airtel jointly cheats customers. Airtel don't want to take responsibility for their dealers. Then who will take care ?

                      There was AL Cricket number in the mobile I bought. Once, I just tried what this is, it just started pouring SMS update of cricket status with money deducted for each SMS.

                      I used the method STOP to 121 followed by 1 as response to 1210 and this is only service active. Response message says that there are no service active on your airtel number. But I continue to receive the cricket nuisance SMS and the money keep getting deducted. Looks like the software that controls this is BUGGY. Please see and disable immediately.

                          Hi

                          I have mobile number [protected] of your company in my wife's name. On 3 march
                          2010 i went to your office at Bhadhaur House Market in Ludhiana along with my
                          wife to disconnect the number as we donot require it any more.

                          Your officer Ms Simmi suggested that we get nubmer converted to prepaid which
                          we accepted as incoming will be free on it till 2015 as Airtel has license for
                          it. She took ID proofs ,photogarphs and form from us to change the post paid
                          connection to pre-paid.

                          She took Rs.550/- from me as amount due on phone to stop post paid connection
                          and Rs.244/- as advance for prepaid recharge. She told me to come on Monday for
                          recharge.I also gave her my nuber for contact which she filled on form.

                          On tuesday(6 march 2010) i went to your office and she told me it is not
                          converted into prepaid and to come back in two days.

                          On 10/04/2010 i went to your office for same. Ms. Simmi told me i had deposit
                          Rs.50/- for sim and 200/- for security and activtion.
                          When i asked her what are charges for she said it is process.
                          I told her since i was not told about before i am not interested in same so she
                          should return money i had given as advance and documents i had given for
                          processing.She refused to do so saying it is company policy as money was used
                          by Airtel.When i told her that she had taken Rs244/- as advance for recharge
                          not as processing fee, she replied she never said so.
                          I am attaching the slip she gave me on which she has clearly written adv for
                          [protected].

                          On requesting for email id for filling complaint she asked me call helpline .
                          She refused to give e-mail id. Mr. Sunil Arora his collegue asked me in abusive
                          langauge to sit near door and call helpline. When i told him i will talk to Mr.
                          Gaurav (Branch manager )
                          and Mr. Bhalla(area supervisor for agencies ) of his vulgar language.
                          He said Mr. Gaurav is not in office and Mr. Bhalla is a dog who lives on there
                          throwways.

                          While i was talking on my cell phone Ms. Simmi came to me with a handset and
                          asked me to call from it, which i refused as i was trying 121 from cell.She
                          again asked me not to file written complain. On which i told her i think she
                          had used money i gave as advance herself and now is trying to fool me for
                          paying once again.

                          With in 5 minutes Mr. Lekhi(owner of showroom) came and started slapping me and
                          he asked two of his emloyees to hit me as i shouldnot file complaint against
                          them.

                          Then they called police and tried to frame me for using abusive langauge with
                          Ms. Simmi and breaking phone at her desk.

                          Police didnot file complain as they were informed by shopkeepers of the area
                          that though Ms. Simmi is maried but she has close relations with Mr. Shiv that
                          is why he physically assualted me though he was not even in office. Also she
                          has habbit of behaving badly as she is a charaterless person and is close to
                          Mr. Lekhi.They are creating derogatory environment in neighbourhood by there
                          acts.

                          When police asked her what i have said to her she replied ask her collegues as
                          she is not aware of anything.She is just afraid that her husband will be aware
                          of her job now.
                          Police made her appolozise to me later on.

                          Also it was found by Police that i have never made any calls from your
                          helpline. Mr. Sunil Arora removed the antena from top and said it was broken by
                          me to frame me.
                          Mr. Lekhi told police that i broke phone at Ms simmi's desk but Simmi told
                          police i had taken phone outside office and broke its anteena on road.

                          Later on Mr. Lehki gave me number of Ms Simi ([protected]) and said i can call
                          her for any service free of charge if i compromise in front of Police..

                          Is this how you train how to handle customers and enhance relations by
                          physically abusing them to stop from complaining and then offer number of our
                          female employees for services????

                          This sort of behavour is not expected by representatives of company of your
                          repute.

                          Request you to look into matter and i donot want number converted to prepaid
                          and since i have made full payment on 3/march/2010 i donot want to continue
                          with it .Pls refund advance payment for recharge that has been taken form me
                          along with documents.

                                I had made payment of Rs 699 for new connection on 16th April and I am yet to receive connection. Every time I call airtel, they make false promises to me that I will get the connection within an hour.

                                I have been talking to Santosh [protected] and kamlesh [protected], prem patnaik ([protected]) regional zonal manager, Vishnu ([protected]) and Naresh: [protected]
                                from airtel, but no one is meeting their commitment.

                                Airtel — Paid Money But No Connection

                                I am residing at adambakkam, i have planed to get new net connection for that i approached airtel agent Agarval Infocom, Parris, chennai. I paid him 2400 (14.10.09) on the same day with registration forms. He told me in your area board is free so no problem we will give you the connection in 2 - 3 days. But today (27.10.09) till now i dint get net connection. I asked the agent (Agarval) they told in your area there is no box available. So we canceled your application. And i asked for my cash back he told we wont give you the cash and signed documents. For this stupid agents AIRTEL as to take some immediate action on Agarval Infocom.
                                EVEN I FACED THE SAME PROBLEM THESE PEOPLE DONT SHOW THE SAME INTEREST TO GIVE CONNECTION LIKE COLLECTING THE MONEY...
                                MY SINCERE ADVICE TO ALL IS PLEASE DONT GIVE MONEY EARLIER UNLESS AND UNTIL THE CONCERNED PERSON IS WELL KNOWN TO U. BETTER PREFER SOME OTHER NETWORK.

                                        Hi Friends! if in case anyone of you are AIRTEL customer's and are planning to shift then do think 100 times before doing that as i had moved about 30 ft away from where i was residing and now they say that you need to pay 1299 Plan or else we will not be able to shift the plan.
                                        They say that the service will be provided from a Vendor. I said that i was already getting the service from them also initially as well. they said that it is the vendor who is suppose to give you service and you need to pay for the same. I said that i am not looking for a new plan i am only trying to shift whatever was mine and there should be no hassels for the same. Airtel says that either pay 1299 or else disconnect the line. when i asked to speak to the manager they said will do that and yesterday(22nd Apr 2010) i got a call from the Retention team and asking me why i need to disconnect the line? I explained the scenario to them and also informed them that i am shocked to hear what i am hearing right now. as i had not made any request to disconnect the line.......
                                        I was again informed that either disconnect or accept this plan of 1299 RS currently i am paying a rental of 649/-. I had written an email to Mr. Mittal on[protected] but no response......again on[protected] and then the response was not received too

                                        E-Mail on the[protected]

                                        Hi Sir,
                                        Strange to see such a carelessness nature from the CEO of the company. You are certainly leading by an example Sir. I had mailed you on the 13th April and till date not even a single call has been made to me not even from Kaniska who was suppose to arrange a conference call. Your staff is absolutely following your step and amazingly well too. Nevertheless I am waiting for another 2-3 days post which I will take my step and then please do not blame me if this email is found all over the web and then to www.core.nic.in and then directly with Ministry of Consumer Affairs. I really do not want to but the negligent attitude of the company is compelling me to do so.
                                        Thanks & Regards,
                                        Ex-follower of Airtel but not anymore………

                                        "Mr. Mittal,
                                        I wish the platform was different then what I have mentioned below but I am sorry it is not. I have a complaint for which I need resolution and I have mentioned it below in detail description:
                                        Airtel Landline:[protected]
                                        Issue: Shifting of the connection
                                        I shifted from old location to new one and I made a request to shift the landline connection which also has a broadband connection on the same on the 05Th April 2010.
                                        5th April 2010 – I was informed by the representative that the same would cost me INR 300/- and also the same will be done in 3 days. I said ok I am ok with that and please get the same done.
                                        8th April 2010 – No Communication
                                        9th April 2010 – No Communication. I called up to enquire about the same as I had asked my wife to stay back at home and not to go out keeping in mind that the team will come to get the same connected at my place. She was not able to leave the premises in the expectation of the same being done.
                                        10Th April 2010 – No Communication
                                        11th April 2010 – No Communication
                                        12Th April 2010 – No Communication
                                        13Th April 2010 – Kanishka called up from [protected] at 2:15 pm and informed that the connection would be shifted but that would be by the Vendor but I need to accept a different plan which is INR 1299/- to which I replied back saying that first of all I am not looking for a new plan I am only shifting in which I was informed that the charge for shifting is only INR 300/- nothing else. Kanishka told me “Sir, I have checked with the vendor and he is saying that and this can be only done that way no other way. Please let me know if I can disconnect from the current place or you will take this charge”
                                        I informed that this is not right as I am not asking for a new connection I am only shifting that too 30 feet away from where the connection is currently. And as I am interacting with Airtel to pay my Bills, request and complaints I am not concerned about the Vendor Airtel should do the needful to negotiate the same. She said that I will speak to them once and then get back to you.
                                        Kanishka again called from the same number at 3:45 pm and informed me that “Sir, I have talked to them and you have to pay 1299/- to get the connection or else connection is not possible” When I refused she said that I will conference the call from other line with the Vendor then you can talk to them directly”. I said ok but no call was received. At 4:03 pm she called me from the same line and then informed me that the vendor is not reachable will try and get the call conference once successful I said ok as nothing could have been done in this scenario.
                                        Now there are few things I would like to point out:
                                        1) SLA for shifting the connection is 3 days then mine has not happened in 8 Days.
                                        2) If there was a delay in shifting who is suppose to inform the customer as you may be able to understand that my Wife was there at home waiting for someone to drop by and get the shifting done.
                                        3) If I am shifting and I am being forced to pay an amount which is almost double the amount that I am paying that is INR 649/- who will look into that?
                                        I am really sorry but this is causing me a lot of inconvenience mentally as well as professionally as I had taken up the connection in order to work from Home when I am not in office which has completely failed for days. Please provide me a resolution to this issue as in case of failure I will be forced to take it up through consumer forum and Ministry of Consumer Affairs or also I may end up blogging about my experience with AIRTEL. Even though I have gone through enough hassles with AIRTEL it is one of my favorite brands but it may not be any further.
                                        I am looking for a positive response from your end.

                                        There are alot of such experience which i have with me in email which i have gone through with AIRTEL if need be i shall upload all of them one by one.
