I took a connection with a one year rental (rent rs 699 of one year) plan with airtel.
Everytime I had payed all the bills on time. When one year was about to complete, I asked Airtel customer care to dsconnect the service as I wanted to take other subscriber with lower call rates. But instead of disconnecting, Airtel changed my plan to Rs 300 rent per month with same high call rates.
Because of this I again called customer care and told that I will not pay the bill if the rental was not deducted and disconnect the connection but they did not disconnect it for next three months.

Now, I am getting abuse calls from a person called Deepak with number [protected]. Who uses false language and tells me that if I will not pay the bill then "wo mere poore khaandaan ko court main khasitega" etc.
I am still ready to pay the bill for call chrges but not the rental and late fee.

    I stay in a town called surathkal in Mangalore . I have applied for Airtel Broadband connection and they tell me that my house is out of reach of your services. Sad thing is that my home is about 100 mts from surathkal where Airtel is available. My house is in a residential area with about 50 to 60 houses and it bothers me that I can’t get your services in such a residential area. So rest a shore I will not stop calling u people until u get me the service or give me a better reason then one u have given about my house is few meters two far.

      I m a prepaid subscriber of airtel from mumbai region.I just wanted to complain that i am getting very less signal reception at my place even i stay at 6th floor and at 5th floor i am out of coverage area.So i am missing many important calls because of this .Other service providers like idea,vodafone,aircel,loop,tata are providing full network at my place and even on ground floor,so whats wrong with Airtel ? I am requesting airtel to build a cell phone tower near to our place as soon as possible,otherwise Airtel would be loosing 20 prepaid subscribers from my society.And also GPRS speed is wrost in mumbai region.I am providing my address and contact details below..Dont try to contact on given cell number because i have kept it switched off.

        AirTel — Misbehaviour of customer care executive

        Dear Sir/Madam,

        My Name is Sankar Kumar Das, owner of Airtel connection (Mob No: +91 [protected]) and a regular user of Mobile Office facility with airtel, similarly on 23rd August’09 I tried to activate the same however the service was not activated when contacting Airtel I was informed that this service was withdrawn and I have to recharge with INR 89/- to avail this service. As per their instructions I did the same however the same was not activated hence I have registered a complaint with customer care. Complaint No: 4905 and was told the same will be activated in 24 hrs which didn’t happen, then I called CC again and spoke to the Floor supervisor and again he registered a complaint (Complaint no: [protected]) however the service was not activated and I receive a call from Airtel (Calling No: +91 [protected]) Mr. Jayanth and he was rude and so un professional and claims that there was no recharge done on my number and I am being dishonest which hurt my self respect and he also claims to be the boss of the company and has no reporting manager also he clearly stated that i can in to consumer court and register a complaint when asked. Please help me getting justice as a consumer.

        Regards,
        Sankar Kumar Das

        Idea — EXECUTIVE AND DISTRIBUTION'S MISBEHAVIOUR

        Hi
        Good morning.
        This is Deepak S Jain from Raksha mobile shoppee.
        details:-
        dist name:- hithen associates
        dist code:- ECD00163
        ret name;- Raksha mobile shoppee
        ret code:- F0000830
        Mobile no [protected]
        new sim no:[protected]

        im a retailer of mysore of vijaynagar 2nd stage. and from yesterday 19th dec 2009 Saturday my v top up is not seems to be working.
        as far as im aware of,its blocked from my executive/distributor purposefully.
        so far I have made calls to [protected] ( manager) 20 times
        [protected] (nodal) 18 times
        [protected] [protected] Nagaraj(owner of hithen) 25 times
        however no one of the above mentioned no are receiving the call and the main purposely planned person to block my no is execituve sathish mobile no [protected].

        when ever I try recharging any no I’m getting an error as
        “ you are not authorized to use this system”

        so what I ve decided from my end is, fine however my demo is blocked by executive and distributor purposefully, so you also cancel the connection and refund the amt of Rs 4139/- balance of V Top remaining.
        so that I will end all the relations with Hithen Associates and if Idea People are interested in retaining me as Idea retailer, can issue a new demo, but NOT OF HITHEN ASSOCIATES as they provide very poor and pathetic service.

        thanks and regards

        Dear Sir/Mam,

        This request is with regard to no. [protected] (allotted in Hyderabad ).

        I request to close this no. on Nov 29th 2009. but could not responded by Airtel. After that I again asked one of theirr executive to disconnect the call and send the bill so that I can make payment. Bt when i call them back they are saying no records regarding complaints.

        Now She is trying to fetch the nos. from the bill and keep calling my friends/relatives and screaming on them which is not acceptable.

        The no. with which we are getting calls : [protected].

        Please do the needful as an earliest.

        Thanks

        airtel customer care employee — they don't know how to behave with customer

        Airtel — Poor Customer Care & Misbehaviour

        I have lost my datacard & I went to get a duplicate sim of the same no. ([protected]) but they didn't have any duplicate sim to issue & said that it MIGHT arrive by 7th or later. As i have lost the SIM I decided to get it deactivated so that no misuse is there on this account. I was carrying all prrof required for geeting it deactivated or replaced but they refused to help me. They asked me to call the customer care & get it deactivated. I had to call Airtel's customer care atleast THREE times to get their line. When I got to talk to her Ms. Jyoti Kanodia asked for some irrelevant information like "when did I get it last recharged & what amount?" I was shocked because mostly people won't remember such details as nobody expects that they would lose their phone or meet a theft. I was not able to recall such data & she said because the data provided is not correct my no. couldn't be deactivated. If there is any misuse in this case who is responsible for such a case. I had asked her to transfer the call to their higher ups but she refused on account that there is no one in office & nobody responded on the nodal officer's no.
        I just asked the Relationship Centre to help me out because such issues are very serious but they put a deaf ear to me. So I asked when I am providing all details & my pan card & DL in original & photocopy they refused to deactivate the sim & Mr. Akshay gupta who is an employee started to misbehave saying that I don't know how to behave & started shouting. Everybody in the relationship Centre including a lady & the cashier started arguing over a petty thing that they will behave like this & it is not their duty to behave properly. They refused to give the Relationship Centre's Supervisor's no. on account that he is a very important person & can't talk for such petty things.
        Not only this they were misbehaving with each & every customer coming to their Centre & arguing & saying we can't do this we can't talk to customer care & things like that.
        I have no clue why such stupid things are required by a company like AIRTEL to deactivate a SIM, when all documents relevant to my identification are being provided to them.

        airtel Friends — arrogant customer care executive

        On 5th june,2011 at 12:13 noon i`ve got msg from airtel,that airtel has deducted Rs 10/- for downloading Hungama Content Game,though i`ve not selected any of such stupid thing..so to resolve my problem i made a call to customer care..There was Mr.rajjak who did spoke with me properly.he didn`t even answered my question.thn i requested that i want to spoke with his senior and then Mr.Rajjak hang up the call,without transferring it to his senior..then i called again this time there was Miss Bhumika..she solved my 1 problem sayin i`l get the refund of wrong debitmade by airtel.then i asked her that i want to make a complaint against one of customer care executive but she did the same thing,even she didn`t allowed me to talk to their senior..i haven`t got any complaint id for my complaint.

          Hi,

          I recharged my prepaid number [protected] with Rs.200. I was not informed that the recharge will expire in 30 days. No extra/lower call rates were provided. The amount is credited to a "dedicated account" by Airtel without the customer's permission.

          I do not receive a automatic message of balance left after every call and I have to dial *123*4# to get my balance.

          Even the Airtel call center people did not inform me about the scheme where Airtel forfeits the amount after 30 days. I lost close to Rs. 150 because of this as I did not utilize the balance.

          I want to lodge a complaint on unreasonable forfeiture of customer balance by Airtel. Also the sales is being done without informing the customers.

          Regards
          CA.Vikas Dugar

              I am using airtel as my mobile connection service provider.. I am really fed up with the services.. But as its my bussiness no I am not willing to close my account.. Artel is cheating people as they are deducting the amount from pre paid accounts without any information.. They call it as AUTO SUBSCRIPTION.. Which the people are not aware about.. I called up the customer service for the enquiry ( WHICH IS ALSO CHARGABLE AS 50ps Per 3 minuits.. Very poor cust service said that they can not refund the amount back as i did not informed them within 24 hrs of subscribtion.. But i never got any notification for the same so I never thought of calling the cust service.. The advisors from the customer service are pathetic.

              Sir/Madam,
              I am Christopher and i am using Vodafone connection. I received a call from Airtel (Egmore Branch) stating that i got an offer ie if i pay 250 Rs i will get 150 free calls and so on. I accepeted that an paid Rs 250 on Feb 06, 2007, they told me that they will allot me a number the next day and in the evening it will get activated... but i kept on following Mr. Karthick from Egmore Airtel gave me the number after 2 days. then it was not activated again i called him for that he told me that server is down and so on. On the following monday he told that my number is activated, but it was a lie.. regarding this i have logged a complaint on airtel customer service and spoke to many people nearly spending about 150 Rs on my phone bill which is not necessary for me.. i told the higher official that i dont want my sim and want my money back and compensation, they agreed to do so, but till date no actions have been taken, if this carries on i may have to print this up in media. Now all i want is my 250 Rs back and my compensation of Rs 150 for the uncessary calls i have made to you people. pls make sure it is done as early as possible.

                  I first of all would like to thank you for taking quick actions as i'd posted a complaint some days before..
                  The very next day i received a call from the Airtel people but when we went there the people concerned said he will not be able to give us the connection as he need to install another DP to give connection u take your money back, when i said i dont need the money but want the connection as soon as possible as i m in need of it, the person said pay me 4000/- for the new DP or get the permission from the corporation..
                  When i said this is not the way to speak to your customer he said u should have not posted a complaint against us.. I said i'll go to consumer court the person over there responed in a harsh way saying "Lets See"
                  In hope of soon solution from you..

                    Hello ,

                    I have an existing complaint number logged for Airtel Signal problem. The complaint number is 30958791 . The complaint was logged on 16th Feb and it was told that the issue will be resolved by 24th Feb . I spoke to the customer care and they mentioned that the network team is still working on it and it will take close to 3 months to resolve this issue as there will be need to install some sort of a signal Booster . The signal is fine outside the apartment but there is no signal inside my apprtment . I reside in Whisper valley Rajeev gandi nagar Bachupally hydbad. Please help me out in this regard

                    Hi Biswnath,

                    I was the first who occupied the flat in Whisper Valley on 2nd October 2008, I have logged a complain in Airtel about the signal and that time they assured that it will be fixed in 3 months, i came to Canada on May 2009 but till that time airtel could not fix that problem,

                    I do not know what airtel people want to fix this problem of signal...

                    Thanks and Regards,
                    Murali

                      Also there is lot of other issues are pending about wrong info, perlal ringing, threaten by Ajay kumar jain,miss guide by Mr Stanly,threaten by Deepti,and some of the info is all ready sent to mail id of Sunil Mittel on your corporate mail id on" <[protected]@bharti.com>, "Sunil Mittal" on <sunil.[protected]@bharti.com>, Bharti Mittal on<bharti.[protected]@bharti.com>, President Mr Manoj kohali on <manoj.[protected]@bharti.com>, Karnataka CEO Rohit Malhotra on <rohit.[protected]@airtel.in>, appellate, nodel,care karnata, in All this prectice i spent Thousands of rupees on call charges from verious number,Dsl useges.And Lot of my Veluable time, after loosing all this i am treated as a worst customer in airtel. also i feel some manipulations is going on in Bharti,and most of the customer is sufferd the same
                      ex. when Bharti is launched hello tune in the first month it is cahrged whole month chrge for the period of 5 days and 10 days also as per billing cycle saying this is not charged on prorate basis even the product is launched just 10 days before the billing cycle,
                      About the perlal ringing your call center executive is confirm this products is life time with 49/- monthly rental and know this product is not removed and that also without information to customer.
                      some time customers awareness is effects to some people performance record and in this practice we are getting threat from various people from airtel and some time it is informed to you in writing, even after informing to you your people is not taken any action against the Bharti staff and due to that i have suffers of injury,Still getting threat from your team is not stopped
                      delaying to resolve issue is adding more cost and tence on both side

                      Dear Respected Whoem ever concerned,

                      Please kindly help me out.

                      I have submitted my ID proofs to the Airtel guy who came to my house few months back.
                      But now they are saying that ID proofs are not up to the standard of Indian Govt policy and hence my airtel connection has been disconnected(No services are provided).

                      Resubmitting ID proofs are not my problem, but if my ID proofs has been used by any anti social element.
                      Then what would be the conciquences. Who is responsible for that.

                      Please kindly do the needful thing.

                        Respected Sir,
                        I am a mobile reailer in Denkanikotta its near Hosur in Tamilnadu state my airtel distributer is really a waste distributer airtel is a very good company for its costumers and provides a good service but the present distributer in our area is not fit for his given work all the mobile retailers in our area is vexed on airtel, when ever our disributer is questioned on anything he blames company officers he take more than one week to transfer money in our easy recharge account and he takes much time in days to submit the new costumers fourms and proof.
                        I have one easy sim and from past one week i couldn recharge to any customers because our distributer has not transfered money in our easy recharge account and our distributer says that his MAT sim has problem K , i accept but he got a new MAT sim before five days but he never gives response to our complaints and retailers he concentrats on his other works.I buyed one more new easy sim befor two months but yet i dint get my MPIN . Many of our regular customers have shifted to other networks because they get their prepaid balance in time and their activation also takes place in time so we retailers request u to take steps immediately .

                              This is very unfortunate to inform you that Airtel customer care & engineers are very unprofessional. I have Airteldth (set top box) which I installed at Bhubaneswar last year. Last year November I re-installed it to Kolkata along with new form fill up (new address, phone no.) which was done by your engineers. I recharged my voucher on 21st of this month at 9.45 pm since my connection was discontinued due to zero balance. Then I noticed that a massage “ signal loss” & “ error code B001” were coming to my TV. I called to your customer care (complain No :2086205) , they said that engineer would be there by 10am on 22nd. Next day after waiting till 12.15 pm I called again, got response that visit had been extended till 1.30pm. At 7.30 again I called them due to no visit, I had been told from your customer care that Engineer sent them a report saying wrong mob no & address. I confirmed them my new address (Kolkata) & also remind them not to send complain details to my old address(Bhubaneswar). I got a new complain no[protected]. Mean while I got a call from Bhubaneswar Engineer to know my address. Again I called to customer care & told don’t send this new complain to Bhubaneswar since I got a call from Bhubaneswar against old complain No. They again verified my new contacts and assured me that on 23rd(today) by 10 am engineer will come without fail. Today whole day have gone, nobody have come yet. When I called in evening they said engineer report was wrong no & wrong address. I got so frustrated and ask the person to confirm the address & I got so irritated when I heard that last complain was lodged on Bhubaneswar address again. This is extremely unprofessional behavior which I ever heard or ever experienced before. Every person have their own time value. So please keep some professional guys , I don’t know your system, why can’t they delete or deactivate my old address or no !!!!! My new complain no is 2097771.
                              I am giving my connection details further with my correct mob no since I am not going to screw my time to customer care anymore rather will may think to change connection for better service.

                                Dear Sir/Madam,

                                I am highly disappointed by the way Airtel has treated me in the past. Here are the issues and I would appreciate if they are solved as soon as possible since it is creating a lot of problems to me.

                                1. Airtel has discontinued and disconnected my number [protected] in a week’s time whereas as per the rules at least a month waiting time is required.
                                2. Airtel had all my documents cause I had submitted to them when I had taken the card and I have two numbers in my name ([protected] and [protected]) and yet just for selling this premium number airtel has discontinued and disconnected my number in a week time and are now asking me to buy the same number from the airtel galary.

                                  Dear Airtel,

                                  I have received a message again today that "MCA service has been activated on my mobile and Rs15 got deducted from me.The same thing is happening from 3 months and every month i am calling customer care,then they resend my money back.I asked them to totally deactivate this service on my mobile,but that has not been done yet.What is problem the to deactivate it?Even now i have called customer care twice,both told me they were transferring my cal to some senior executive,but i waited for 3 min for the first time and no one attended.For the second time,after 1 min the call got disconnected.Are your senior executives sleeping in the day time???
                                  The second time i called the customer care,the guy told some jokes service was activated on my mobile...What the hell?
                                  When are you going to solve my problem???I dont want any MCA service or something on my mobile...

                                  3months before i have called nearly 10times for the GPRS settings,not even one has sent me those till date.If you are so useless,better put your company in some safe hands...Donot irritate customers this way...and stop behaving so cheap...

                                        This is really riddiculous that there is no Muslim religious channel in indian tv channel.20 to 30% of population of India belongs to muslim community.Is there any reason not view Peace TV on your Airtel DTH????

                                        I am user of Airtel Digital TV from more than a year, my customer id is [protected],

                                        from the day one i am Requesting for Peace TV, if the Local Cable Provider in our area can provide Peace TV means why can't a brand like Airtel, that too if the Channel which is Free to Air.

                                        Please do the needful and revert me on the same on my E-mail id

                                        Its Appreciable that we need "peace tv channel" in the Airtel Digital broadcast as we pay for it, even though it is free channel.
                                        Its my humble request for all of broadcast service providers to provide Peace TV as it is one of devotional channels as other Bakti channel, Astha TV, Shradda TV, GOD TV, Angel TV.

                                        Thanks regards,

                                        M.Bhaskar.

                                        Dear Customer Care,
                                        Its Suprising that Airtel has included all religious channel except for Islam.

                                        Pl include QTv and Peace Tv channels in ur packages.

                                        Regards

                                        Dear Sir/Madam,
                                        (Airtel Setup Box)
                                        I have been using set up box of Airtel and in our company also we have taken corporate connection of Airtel. But i m very surprised that why you people are unable to provide the PEACE CHANNEL. Have you any problem to provide this channel. Kindly let us know. If you will do this type of things then how we customer will use your set up box. We are waiting for few months for PEACE CHANNEL. If you will be unable to provide this channel then I will change this set top box within 1 to 2 months. Now you have to think that either you will provide this service or you want to loose the customer/user.

                                        With regards,
                                        Hina Kauser Kabir.
                                        The DTH providers will not provide Islamic Channels as most of them are infested with RSS and Sangh Parivar who thinks that by banning Islamic channels they can stop the spreading of truth. Dear Muslims, please boycott all DTH providers and let them know that we make a big chunk of their business. They will get to their senses when it hurts their pockets.
                                        India's only Muslim TV channel banned on DTH service

                                        Calicut (Sep 28, 2009) Peace TV, India's only Islamic Television channel reportedly being banned from broadcasting through DTH (Direct to Home) providers in the country. Website of Consumer Welfare Society, Delhi is swamped with complaints against the media ban. According to the response received from various DTH providers in the country, PEACE TV has been removed from their broad casting list. Cable Television Network Rule 6 (6) says a channel can't up link from or downlink into India unless it's registered with the I&B Ministry. But despite being not registered and not possessing a valid licence, the 24-hour Peace TV, popular in many Muslim pockets across India, has been operating for the last three years. Peace TV is promoted by The Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), Mumbai, a registered non -profit charitable trust which was established in 1991. The channel never had a history of airing explicit or violent content except religious talks or sessions based on comparative religious studies. The channel is guided by a medical doctor and Indian citizen, Dr. Zakir Naik, an internationally respected scholar.

                                        Naik, however, maintained that he didn't own Peace TV. "The owner is a Dubai-based company and it applied for registration months ago. But the ministry hasn't issued it a certificate yet, " he said, refusing to divulge the identity or the contacts of Peace TV's Dubai-based "owner". Naik's Interfaith Dialogue with prominent Hindu Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on the topic ‘The Concept of God in Hinduism and Islam in the light of Sacred Scriptures’ held at Palace Grounds, Bangalore, on 21st Jan. 2006, was highly appreciated by people of both the faiths.

                                        In the special list of the “Top 10 Spiritual Gurus of India” by Indian Express News Paper, Dr. Zakir Naik was ranked No. 3, after Baba Ramdev and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, being the only Muslim in the list. Dr. Zakir Naik appears regularly on many international T.V. Channels in more than 200 countries of the world.

                                        Some cable operators, who earlier showed Peace TV, have stopped beaming it. Hathway, one of the major cable operators which provides services in many parts of the Mumbai city, has pulled the plug on the channel.

                                        Hindutva fascism spread so much poison in our society by spreading hatred through media and by aligning with their favourable media czars like Rupert Murdoch. It seems to be the interests of sangh parivar groups are more behind the unofficial ban on the one and only Muslim religious TV channel in the country. On Sep 23, J Gopikrishnan of The Pioneer, a sangh favoured media, wrote an article demanding police action against DTH providers who downlink Islamic TV channles like Peace TV, ARY Q TV, TV Maldives, Saudi TV. Rupert Murdoch's Star News happily beams the stories about the evidence of existence of Ravana's air-craft repair centre in Sri Lanka, and mythology has gained more credence than science in our age, the era of the death of rationalism. Press freedom of multi-culturalism has to confront the media discourse of Hindutva at many levels. It is not absent mindedness of Atal Behari Vajpayee, who appointed three stalwarts of Hindutva as Ministers of Home, Education and Information and Broadcasting. While the Vajpayee coalition government does not have any success story, L. K. Advani, Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi and Sushma Swaraj actively, and aggressively, pursued the Hindutva agenda in these ministries.

                                        Advani's legacy at Information and Broadcasting made 'religion' as big business in India and the recent visual media explosion has seen a flurry of “religious” TV channels take to the air, broadcasting prayers, congregations, faith messages, feel-good speeches, question and answer sessions, astrological predictions, etc.

                                        The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting given permission to 454 channels for downlinking in India which includes 18 Christian evangelical channels. The evangelical TV channel of Pat Robertson, who publicly called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez also downlinked and broadcasted by India's DTH providers.

                                        There is also flourishing media institution which can be called evangelical Hinduism. Hindu TV evangelists include living gods like Swami Ramdev, Amma, Sathya Sai Baba, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and many others. They are the Pat Robertsons and Billy Grahams of modern Hinduism.

                                        In Nov 2008, the telecom regulatory authority of India (TRAI), in a recommendation to the Centre, has suggested that religious bodies should be barred from owning television stations or having any role in distributing them. News reports quote TRAI as saying that where permission has been given, they should be phased out slowly: “Such a rule would be in tune with the secular nature of our constitution.”

                                        In a nation where faith is such an integral part of even governmental functions, is what we watch any business of the State? Is it a needless intrusion in our lives? An outright ‘ban’ is not the way a democracy should work. If a particular TV channel is actually fomenting and spreading hatred, that channel should be banned at once. Is it fair to ban only a channel belongs to a well respected Muslim religious scholar in a secular republic like India?

                                        With inputs from Thejas News paper, Kozhikode,

                                        I have paid for economic sports plan and that includes peace of mind tv channel but this airtel tv doesn't provide that channel after getting payment... Along with this many other channels of which I have paid I can't see on my settop box. And fool peoplefrom customer care says that engineer will come and I will have to pay for the problem which is not caused by me. These airtel people make us fool by stopping the channels from our pack and tell us to pay again for the same channel.
                                        sir,
                                        we regularly see the channel of' peace of mind' at no 686 and disha satsang channel at 689. on complaint, the executive said on different dates to lodge the complaint and engineer will visit the house to rectify the error after getting Rs. 150/ as visiting charges. One executive said, "There is some technical fault, in Haryana, and would be settled within three days.what is this in so reputed Airtel services ?. Could the authorities provide the right message through mobile.
