There has been an ongoing problem with this number from past 1 year now. Earlier there were issues with the billing in the DSL Connection, we got that disconnected in the month of December.. and switched to the plan of 250 monthly rental with the DSL connection of limited access... however... the billing issues still continued.. Now we got this DSL connection completely disconnected and one of your customer care representative offered us a plan of Rs100 monthly bill... Unfortunately the issue still persists .. there are still troubles with the billing. even after making the payment of Rs. 265 It is showing up has a balance for this month and the bill for this month is showing up Rs 592.

This phone is only used for incoming calls... we have never made any outgoing calls from this number.. even after a commitment of Rs 100 monthly bill that was made by your rep.. i do not understand why there is a huge gap???

Paying Rs 592 for just incoming calls makes no sense to me.. i have other cell numbers from airtel and have never faced such a problem with them... but this number has actually become a pain for us.. We don't have enough time to mess up every month for the bill adjustment with your team and get the bill adjusted every time...

AN ONGOING TROUBLE FROM PAST 1 YEAR NOW!!!

Ref.no:[protected]
In Nov 2009 i wanted to disconnect my broadband connection due to my son's exam. But the customer care advised me about Rs. 250/- monthly plan & i switched over from ulimited to Rs. 250/- monthly plan.
But to my surprise bill dated 27/12/09 was Rs. 9602/-
All my previous bills were within Rs. 2, 000/-

After switching over to Rs. 250/- monthly plan we rarely used net and local line
i think some mistake in billing
i request you to go through it and correct it

Hi Varun,

They are all cheaters, they are not going to call you, this is for sure.They only give a standard reply here, but I think they are used to of such things.In all the complaints, they've given the same reply
But anyways,
this is nice way to scold them, atleast some people who are going to take the connection from AIRTEL, THEY WILL GET ALERT, The way I am ...ha ha I think i'll go for reliance now.
Thanks for the help

Hi,

This is pawan kumar. Earlier i was having Airtel Fixedline (account number[protected]Plan- 650UL). End of September 2010 i was leaving my flat. so i requested for disconnect my broadband connection. so executive said that my broadband connection will be disconnect in the in the first week of October 2010.
But at 08/10/2010 they again start my broadband service without informing me. now airtel asking me to pay the bill which i didn't use. I am not responsible for their mistakes.

I have to all the information which prove that i am wright. i paid my bill till first week of October 2010.


September Bill Details

From 08/08/2010 to 07/09/2010
Bill = 715.85
Bill Paid- 720 rs. (29/09/2010)


October Bill Details

From 08/09/2010 to 07/10/2010
Bill = 628.13
Bill Paid- 627 rs. (26/10/2010)

In October this bill they give me discount on RC 86.53 rs.
i think its discount on rent bcz my monthly rent is 649 so per day rent will be 649/30=21.63 rs.
so 4*21.63=86.53 rs.
So its prove that my airtel broadband service disconneted at 3rd oct 2010.

now after that they again start my service at 08/09/2010. Which is not wright. i left my old flat and i didnt use any kind of broadband & landline service. I got call from airtel customer care that i have to pay 622 rs. I told them i disconnected my account on 3rd October but they never listen to me. they threaded me for bill payment. i don't know what to do. please help me out from this situation,

now airtel asking me to pay 622 rs for november bill. so its show that how much greedy they are for money. 622 rs is small amount for me. it didn't mean that i cant pay 622 rs. if i use this service then i am ready to pay the amount. but i didn't use the service.

so from this information i want to show that how they looted their client.

Thanks & Regards

hi
THIS IS KANCHAN GUPTA. I AM FACING THE PROBLEM IN GPRS ACTIVATION. I HAVE COMPLAINTED SO MANY TIMES BUT THEY DIDN'T TAKE ANY STEP REGARDING THIS. I ALSO DON'T INTERECT WITH CUSTOMER CARE EXECUTIVE MY CONTACT NO IS [protected] PLZ RESOLVE MY PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
THANX

I have taken airtel dongel about a month and half and have taken a plan for 6 gb 950 rs unlimited and they have barred my services stating that my credit limit is only 800 rs and it has exceeded the limit and i tried to argue stating that my plan is 6 gb and it is still not completed and they stated that it will be activated and i have mentioned that i take online classes and need for the class and they confired me 4 hours time on 20th april 11 am and still today my services are not activated and this happens almost every week and for the class i have paid and i have missed my class and i am incurring the loss for about 30k and they asked me to call help line no and help line rep asks me to call 121 and when called 121 customer care they have asked me to go to relation ship center and have wasted approxmatily 8 hours of time for me also for which i was supposed to be spending for my study and i was not able to concentrate on my studeis and was busy calling them and was over the phone to settle the matter however my dongel didnt get activated.

Dear Mr. Mittal,

I am forced to escalate this issue to your level due to the service that I am receiving from Airtel. Just a month back using number portability I have switched from Vodafone due to poor network issue but please note that they have the best customer service. Since the day I have switched to airtel there has been some or other thing for which they call and say do this or your number would be blocked. I mean do they realise that by every-time rebuking me they are making me disgusted with airtel and determined to move back to vodafone which atleast gives proper service if there is any issue.

Now since last one week I was asked to submit the payment receipt of the last payment to Vodafone and no other method but going to the airtel centre was suggested otherwise as usual my service would be barred. I travel almost 20 days in a month and when am telling them give me some time I have already cleared the dues but will you the receipt in some time they kept calling me and messaging me everyday; by the way it was like a torture and making me feel like some thug because same harassment is made when it comes to crossing the limit of my bill which is some obnoxious limit without even seeing or asking me about my usage. Point here is now that after friends help who said scan and send it to airtel which after asking on 121 I did yesterday and below is the trail mail for same, now my connection is barred. With my concalls and client meetings which these days mostly happens on call I am forced to run here and there to solve the issue.

I am so disgusted by airtel now that am forced to take this up with consumer forum. It gives me no pleasure and utter wastage of time in doing this but am forced because there is no end to your obnoxious service. Why can't you train your call centre people in handling customer in better way rather than behaving like a trained parrot which speaks same set of line be it any problem.

People would have till date come to you for complains, I would rather also suggest you measure to improve the faulty service. A company which is into Service industry can not make mistake in the service itself, you may have the largest customer base but how do you feel when people look at airtel with disgusted look. And yes kindly do not mistake largest customer base with good company as you also know that people do not have much option due to the geographical limit of other operators.

Also I am taking this on Facebook now so that people know what happens to a customer when he/she switches through number portability.

Thanks & Warm Regards,
Pooja Jha

Whomsoever concerned,
Airtel Customer care

Refere to my communication below done with one of teh recomended senior person in your Pune office who does not even bother to acknwledge the grievance.

My major concerns: No response to any of my complaints registered as below at your ends;
Request # 193500 date 18/10/2010
Request # 22650 dated 22/10/2010
Request # 22650 dated 28/10/2010
Request #289950 dated 17/11/2010

After having registered my grievance for so many times and placed my application to disconnect my landline connection the disconnection request has been taken care of immediately and against that very foolishly teh bills are being sent to me.

I hope you will understand that you cannot bill a customer whose line id disconnected and will close teh siuue immediately.
Also dont forget to collect up your instrument from my house.

Application for disconnecting my broadban was given on 19 sep 2010 and to convert my connection to voiceline plan of rental 350 per month was given

To astonishment the billing statement recd was 900 and line was deactivated and even after paying bill the line has not been activated till date

To add to frustrations recd a bill statment showing outstanding of Rs 1155.60

And your cc team again and again want confirmation whether I have given application before

Please stop harrasing me and revert all the outstandings with immediate effect.
Also take up my request to have the connection disconnected and get away from the pack of irresponsible Airtel team immediately

Hope so that as a senior you will take note of same and revert back immediately and do not behave ignorant and foolish alike your junior team

PLEASE BE INFORMED MY LIABILITY FOR CURENT MONTH IS ZERO PAYMENT

If troubled more then I think pulling you up in Consumer Forum will be a correct way to get myself compensated for the poor services and the harassment since last two months

I had Rrecharged my airtel digital account for rs 1760 for 11 months payment to view NEW VALUE PACK For 12 months under your unique transaction id no 111039.now when isend message to 54325 no a/c balance is shown from my registered mobile.kindly tell me my balance also it is not displayed on my digital tv connection.Kindly Guide properly. my digital id is [protected].

The matter in the complaint is unfortunate and the reply diplomatic. Airtel is really going great guns in excelling for bad service. Since the customer in concern did not intend to leave / loose / surrender his SIM card and his number is deleted from the database, it seems that Airtel is selling information / numbers to outfits which address our nation's security.

This problem should either be addressed immediately, and the customer should be suitably compensated or Airtel should pull off its services from India.

There must be an inquiry regarding this matter.

How can a number deleted from database when that is in use.
Are they selling the number to others...
Are they miss using that number...
.
.
.
.
. we never know????????

Yes, I agree. In fact a CBI inquiry must take place. These people might be doing some dhandha with the information.

These stupid Airtel people have not yet rectified the problem. Susham you must now take these people to the court for lazy and unethical practices.
