BEWARE: Airtel Stealing Customers Pocket - very mean
[protected][protected][protected][protected]---

THEIR STEALING STRATEGY REVEALED:

1) Airtel activates hello tunes on their own without customer notice for Free (Free for 1st Month only)

2) The following month Airtel debits the customer Rs.30 for Hello Tunes without the customer permission

3) If the customer notice and call the customer care, they apologize for the inconvenience and refund the money. If customer unnoticed, WOW! they celebrate.

Because Airtel has 124.6 million mobile customers in India. So they steal Rs.30 x 124.6 million = Rs. 3,73,80,00,000 per month.

Stealing three hundred and seventy three crore rupees per month is not a big crime?

This is not the only issue.. they steal in many a ways like sending gimmick SMS and Automatic Voice Calls.. as SMS and Voice Calls are in English poor people who observe only few keywords like Free, Songs, Film Songs, etc are vulnerable to Airtel marketing attacks. Govt. must take severe actions against this and stop them from cheating people. Let them earn decently and loyally. Let Airtel do telecom business and not robbery.

I am very shame of having AIRTEL PUBLIC SHARES. I CANNOT ENJOY THE STOLEN MONEY FROM POOR PEOPLE. I will sell off all my Airtel shares immediately. If Airtel doesn't take immediate action and stop cheating poor people soon all TRUE HEATED PEOPLE will sell off their shares. I hope Airtel will know the consequence. Media is powerful and we consumers have solid evidents against Airtel cheats.

Let Airtel do its crimes outside INDIA.

I would like to bring to the notice that how Lethargic and irresponsible are the branded service providers. There are designed to only suck the blood of inocent people. The trailing mails would give brief account of efficiencies of AIRTEL DIGITAL TV.

Dear Sir,

I been customer of Airtel digital TV since Oct-09 opting for the offer price of Rs.1550/- with subscription validity of 6months & applicable pack is South super Value. I have been attracted towards on religious channel 'Subhavaartha' which was offered at that time, even after being an TATA Sky user for more than 2 years. Unfortunately, the channel was discontinued much earlier than the free subscription period. Apart from that it was experienced that the channels in the applicable pack were very frequently switched on/off. The following are issues are more painful than mentioned above.

Feedback:

1. None of the modes suggested by you are accessible. SMS No: 54325 from other than Airtel mobile is never accessible.
2. Only once I could contact[protected] when the executive has instructed me to try SMS mode and disconnected.
3. Ph.No:[protected]: After 15 min of waiting [an IVRS system] connected to IVRS system which got disconnected after 3 stages.

Finally resorted to this mode and would request you to restore/ADD subhavaartha (telugu) channel with my existing South super value. Kindly exclude if there are any other ADDON pack to my applicable pack.

With warm regards,

Kind Attn: Ms. Ruchi Chauhan,

Dear Madam,

Thankyou for your responce. Please be informed that your records are also wrong. I am still not getting SUBHAVARTHA channel. Apart from the said channel i am not getting Zee telugu also which i suppose is also a part of your Telugu Free top up. And I am able to view MAA channel which is quite a part of Telugu Free top up.

You are requested to kindly resolve my problem so as to validating your practices.

Regards,

I am the Customer of Airtel Last 5 years and I have the add-on numbers also, without disturbing Airtel cycle regularly paying all the bills.

A year back, I was having no from CUG Plan , after getting this number the problem was started within a month , i.e. unwanted services was activated from your side and same was informed to you through Customer Care through Emails, several request from my side to your Customer Care, no action was taken for 2 to 3 months. At that time, I am totally frustrated with your services, then I have decided not pay the dues.

After that Customer Care request me to pay the dues, at that time, I have requested them to stop the unnecessary services on my no and settle my account for onetime payment Rs . 500/- and the Customer Care Executive Ms Shruti & Ms Prachi agreed for the same and the same day Ms Shruti send a person Mr. Shankar to my residence and collected Rs 500/- in cash , ensuring me that services will be activated within an hour. After collecting Rs.500/- from me they deactivate the number also.


When I took the new Airtel no under RCUG Plan, due to non-payment of previous number, you have deactivated my new no..

Now let me know in your conditions, is there is any condition is non-payment of previous number which was not solve from your side, deactivate the new number. I also in a position to lodge the complaint in the Customer Court.

However, I would like to inform you that I am too much harassed from your side, kindly settle my issue and activate my new number ASAP.

Airtel Services dumped their unnecessary services on the customer, after requesting them to revalidate the services , they are not responding and charging the customer on higher rates.

I stopped the payment for higher rates, they stopped my services immediately. after reconsulting with the Customer Care, they are giving the false statement , they agree for one time payment and then not activating required number.

When under corporate group I requested for the new number, they are not ready to give the services , unnecessary harrasing for the balance payment of Rs. 49/-

Hi,

I have been constantly receiving junk messages from Airtel (from the number 54321) and being charged for what I am receiving though I have not subscribed to any of the services provided by this number.

I have made several calls to their contact center (which incidentally costs money now if you want to talk to who they call 'customer care executives'). The calls are invariable picked up by some absolutely clueless people who have no idea what to do. After much convincing they either tell me that I an not subscribed to any service or that they will unsubscribe me from the service and put back the deducted money into my account.

I have constantly been receiving Job Alerts (totally irrelevant to my job role and interest) and Jokes (most of which will want to make you cry).

I am not sure if this is some kind of ploy by Airtel to up their sales and fleece unwary subscribers or is it plain unprofessionalness on their part. Either ways I don't want to be party to this nonsense and am hoping someone will look into this and set things right.

Best regards,

Rajesh

I have a air tel broadband connection with account number 14566993 having tariff plan 599 rs. Now i came to know from some of my friends that there is one more plan of rs. 499 having double speed and double no of calls so i called your 121 services for change in my plan. Some of my other friends also did the same. There request was accepted and their plan was changed. But my request was rejected request no. 30753450 and first they accepted my request and said that it will be activated in 3 days but now they are not agreeing to it??? Why is it so??? Why is your company not stable on its commitment??? Please answer??

See the height of cheating people i got a mail from mr. Rakesh kumar that my issue will be solved by their team. After two or three days mr. Kuldeep called me up from the nodal office and assured me of changing my plan. Again after three days ms. Kushi calls me up and says that my plan cannot be changed because it is only for a certain lot of people.??? Hey i dont understand what does this mean??? Why cant i be this certain lot of people???

Is it like that if i am sellling a product assume a shampoo it costs 50 rs. For one citizen of india and the same shampoo costs 70 rs. To the other citizen. Isnt it cheating with the people??? How can the same product have diffenent costs in the same country, not even country the same state, not even the state the same city itself??? Its a big fraud with the citizens of india and the customers of airtel broadband.

Here the question is not only the same product one is getting the same product of inferior quality costly and the other is getting it cheaper it the height of cheating. How can we trust such a big company like airtel. Is its name a fraud. Does it not stick to its commitments and words. Does it show its back on such a small issue?? How can it run such a bigh company in a huge country like india??? People should quit it away from indian markets its a fraud, a cheater.

Many people have added the comments to my complain which i had done before just go through it and one will come to know that i am not the only one cheated by the company there are lots more... Shame on the company and its owners. You are there to satisfy the customer needs and you are there for the people by the people if the same thing continues for a longer period i can see the future of the company so think about it...

I am Rishav Raj([protected],[protected]) ;e-64 kamraj nagar(thrivanmiyur,chennai).I applied for airtel broadband connection on 14th feb 2010 via agent named sasi kumar([protected]) and muni.they assured that connection is available in our area and they will provide connection in two days , they made us fill the form(application number-984749) and took amount of 2100 rs(1000 installation+1000 security) and 100 bribe as extra charges.But after almost two months we didn't get the connection and our money.And moreover they don't pick our calls and even mislead us about our money.
So kindly take proper actions against this cheating being done to us.

Dear Sir
My mobile no. is [protected]. It was observed that without asking or by mistake the chatting services has been started and Rs 30/- per monthas been deducted from my mobile. Therefore I am requesting you to kindly stop all the services, SMS and any other facilities which require payments. Hope you will do needful immediately.
With kind regards

Dear friends,

I have an Airtel Broadband connection 42668209. Was shocked to find (after 3 months) that they have charged for PC Secure(An useless n unknown Antivirus software) and Online Desktop storage without any written or verbal confirmation whatsoever from my end.

This is sheer GREED and they don't have a clue of what's happening as they have stripped themselves fully (Incl their vests n brief to their outsourcing operators!) Absolutely no coordination between them.

When contacted, after so many different versions from diff people, they have waived the charges. The key Qs to the TRAI, Govt and the general public are as follows:

1.TRAI clearly states that a written confirmation has to be obtained from the customer regarding change of plan and same to be communicated to the customer vide email/sms. Neither of them happened in my case. CLEARLY VIOLATION OF THE LAWS OF LAND! Look how they care for the law! They simply break it!

2. I opened my mouth and they gave the waiver for DUMPING USELESS PRODUCTS WHICH I NEVER WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. How many millions of subscribers have been conveniently duped like this? ,esp. good natured rural folks. Can TRAI, after an audit, arrive at a figure of this humongous fraud???. What about other operators??

3.TRAI is supposed to make an audit of the billing system periodically. Are they hand-in-glove?? Otherwise how on earth can Airtel go ahead with scant regard of TRAI's laws?

Last but not the least. I have never had ANY billing issues with BSNL last two decades. Their response to service may be a lil' slow(Thanks to the Central Govt who are bent on killing them!) but they would ever and never do such a blatant violation.

NOW, WHO WILL BELL THE CAT?? I'm making all efforts with my disposal to see to it that this issue is raised in Parliament/other relevant forums like this, raising public awareness. It's not the Qs. of getting waiver for an individual for a couple of hundred rupees, but to expose the crores of rupees swindled from customers all over India since 1995!.

And without serving local customers, finding their feet-on-the-ground, obeying the rule of the land, they are flying for expansion in Africa and other countries! All Africans may not behave like we Indians, Mr.Mittal. I do care for your LIFE as you are no doubt a Telecom Czar.

Sincerely Yours,

Hi,
Entire mogappair east area of Airtel is having

1. poor in building signals
2. frequent call drop

For the past 5 years, this has been happening no airtel person seems to be responding.
If any airtel officials viewing this, please take necessary actions to improve the signal in our area.

I was trying to secure my phone bu activating SIM protection and now my SIM is locked because i didn't know my PUK no. Tell me how i can fix it without going to costumer care. my phone no. is [protected]

im using rs 98/2GB/month GPRS pack since 1/04/10, the downloading gprs speed is too slow in this service, im getting panic headche whenever im trying to download any file, its downloading speed is worst than a speed of 'bullscart' (BAILGAADI), its rarely touches 2kbps speed. I have lost my lots of data in vein, each time im start downloding any file i have to discard it after few minutes because its too slow speed causes panic headche on my top organ, please improve your service quality its not an iron age, thanku.

Total suspicious act is detected in two of my Airtel Prepaid telephones. I found without request Airtel started sending Cricket alerts one is my wife's mobile and another is my mothers mobile. i sent sms from both the mobile to unsubscribe the request was accepted and failed to act accordingly. they started deducting every day the charges ment for the same. If airtel want to fool their customers let them tell and fool the customers in advance. It is very pathetic a company with such a big in size to indulge in such a shameful act. from today onwards i ll stop using airtel services one land line, Broad band and 3 mobiles. I am switching to BSNL. I can tolerate in capabilities than integrity problems

I had booked a movie at 3:00 P.M. When the corresponding channel does not show the movie at 3 I try calling the customer care [protected] the call gets roouted to Airtel prepaid number. Finally I get some Pune or some Maharashtra number and then when I reach them after listening to all the nonsense the computerised version the operator asks me wait half aan hour more almost till 4 and then watch the movie. Does she mean that I subscribe for a movie at 3 and start watching from 4 and yet the money gets debited.

Sir I am using the Airtel Mobile for Several years. Call to the customer care are toll free until last days. But for Some days the calls beyond 3 minutes to the customer care executives are been chargeable, about 50ps beyond each pulse after 3 minutes. How they charge this? Call to the customer care will be free of tariff. Is it there duty to clarify our doubts? Why we pay charges to the customer Care?

When I called the customer care they said that, they must solve our problem within 3 minutes. if they cannot will they give the taken money form our account back.

Please take necessary actions to stop this.

Hello,

I have been holding Airtel postpaid mobile number: [protected]. I submitted all the documents to Airtel office almost a week ago. however, I when I called them to verify the same then they said that your documents are missing and you will have to come again to submit the same. I am a working professional and took 1 day leave from my office in order to submit my documents to Airtel office. How-come they are so irresponsible as they don't even care to take care of my documents. Also, I can't take one more day leave from my office.

I can't change the SIM card now because the advance fee has already been submitted. I will still manage to go there once again but I need a compensation to my one day salary for the leave, I took last time to submit my documents.

Honestly speaking, the attitude of Airtel staff towards me was pathetic. They are not even ready to listen to me. I have been struggling to contact them again and again but they don't even reply to me. I would suggest everyone here not to go for Airtel. They are horrible!!

Kind Regards,
Maninder
