This is to complaint regarding Prepaid recharge facility availed through Internet Banking. I have been using my Internet Banking facility provided by ICICI Bank for recharging my prepaid mobile connection with AIRTEL India in the past. In the last two transactions that were carried out on 06 and 25 Feb 2009 for a recharge of Rs. 1000.00, each I was given a talktime of only Rs 888.00 on each occasion against the full talktime that I have been previously receiving. The customer care dept is totally clueless about it and I was told that they would get back to me. This however has not happened. Calling up customer care only results in the customer being directed from one operator to another with waiting period sometimes being as long as 10 minutes. will someone pls address this problem. My mobile no is [protected]...

Respected Sir/Madam,

I have purchased a AIRTEL connection postpaid number ([protected] in high rented plan with data card in cost:-3000/-) of last month (Feb.) from NEW VISTAS, Gandhinagar Kullu.(H.P) for official purpose. I am so harassed due to wrong commitment by the above noted AIRTEL office executive. Because before purchasing the connection I am confirming the whole information like data card downloading speeds, tariff plan and all things from your office. But when I have purchased the connection they are changed and there commitments. I am already AIRTEL postpaid connection holder from last 7 years I was fully satisfied with AIRTEL service and am also using your 299/-unlimmted GPRS plan in the cheap amount and here they are providing same service in 3000 with rent. After purchasing the same I m feeling that AIRTEL cheated with me. They have to committed speed 253.8 downloading speed. but speed is very funny. Always 8 to9 .when I have selected your service at here I m so glad after using the same .Nobody helps me at here and above office employee ignored for return the data card stick. I am affording this hugely loss. First time I am using AIRTEL third class service at now at here. When I am demanding another AIRTEL data card concerning person from above noted address then they have to provided me a cell number of your employ the they will also harassed to me with abusly language. Then i submitted a request of disconnect the above number at Kullu office on 14 Feb. 2009 and I told him for clear my pending bill but they ignored for that but they have not disconnect the connection. Now is still continuing. And bill is increasing now day by day .here customer care service also lazy. I have been reminding to above office customer care executive for disconnect the connection and they are not providing right way. Now my bill is 800/- and tell me what I do in this condition.

Dear Sir,



I had a recent experience with Airtel which smells like a scam, hence I
would like to bring it your attention. If this is not the right forum to
bring this up kindly let me know the ID or Phone number to escalate this.



I opted for a Airtel Broadband connection for my home on my wife's name,
subsequently the Airtel representatives (Venkatesh [protected]) come to my
house and inspected the premises and collected Rs 1000/= towards
installation. (Application No: BA212702) He told me that he would come the
next day for installation, he did not turn up that week so tried reaching
him and he was not accepting my calls, i called up the call center (
[protected] and spoke to a representative Asha and was told that my
application was rejected due to non feasibility. Since Venkatesh had done
the due diligence i demanded to know why Rs 1000 was collected in the first
place and to speak to her Manager John, who assured to find the details and
update me in the next twenty minutes. However this did not happen.

On discussing this with my colleagues in office I came to know that many of
them had a similar experience.

Would like to know if Airtel operates this way or there is a scam here.

I am Linson thomas.. I am using Airtel sim since last 2 years. My mobile number is [protected]. My call charge was 75paisa to all local mobile phones. one day i call the offer enquiry number 51561. on that there was recorded message "Inorder to call all airtel numbers at 30 paisa /min i forced to join daily rental pack of Re.1. For the cancelation of that offer and goback to the previous plan all i need is to recharge with Rs.3.
I recharged for Rs.3 & my call rate changed to Rs.1/local call.
I called customer care but they replied "whenever you recharged with Rs.3, your plan will changed to general plan instead of your previous plan".
But the recorded message was "Inorder to go back to your previous plan you must recharge for Rs.3"
What i will do...
The recorded message was still there on the number 51561 for a long days...
What i will do to get my previous plan??

I WAS TOLD THAT MY CONNECTION WILL BE ACTIVATED IN 24 HRS BUT AS ON 28TH FEB, 09 7 PM MY CONNECTION IS NOT ACTIVATED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO EXECUTIVE MR NITIN ON HIS MOBILE BUT HE IS NOT HELPING ME.

Please Help me,

Sir,
i have been using Airtel no. for a year, nearly. On 3-2-09 at 8 p.m., with out my consent airtel people gave me the "chat id 9050710, dial no.543216". In this regard a message arrived from 543216. And Rs.30 had been cut from my balance.
Is this the way to behave with the customers? I don't want this friends Chat. My mobile no is [protected]. So please see that deactivate this friends chat and not to cut...

Since last 1 month I have been getting sms from numbers “64611010” & “53776” and every time I get a message from these numbers, Airtel charges Rs. 10 for these incoming message.

I have logged 4-5 complaints for the same with Airtel helpdesk and every time they say that I have subscribed to these services and they give a commitment that they would unsubscribe the same in 48 hours but nothing is done. However the reality is that I have never subscribed for these services on my mobile and till date nothing has been done on part of Airtel to stop these error payments which are being charged to me.

It is frustrating that even after 4-5 complaints to Airtel Helpdesk nothing has been done by Airtel Authorities so far. Would request you to please do the needful and I am quite sure that there would be other employees on Corporate plan getting these kind of sms.

Also there has been no response from the email ID [protected]@airtelindia.com. Please find enclosed the mails which I have sent so far. It really shows the pathetic state of affairs in which Airtel helpdesks are run and how they give false commitments.

There are have been commitments from various floor managers like Pooja & Subhir but nothing has been done so far except false commitments.

Airtel Mobile Office priced at Rs.20/- is supposed to be for a day (24hrs) internet browsing. However, activation/de-activation time is not always on 24hour basis. They de-activate early and MIGRATE the connection to a scheme @ Re.0.30/50kb without the user's consent. Within hours, one can loose the entire balance in a pre-paid connection. I experienced this recently and found my entire remaining amount lost. GPRS internet users on Airtel please be aware. They are looting the customers in the name of GPRS access without the user's knowledge.

I had subscribed to Airttel WAP and then logged out and disconnected WAP. Initally i received the subscription email saying every 7 days Rs.10 will be decucted. But now i am not using WAP still i get sms which deducts rs. 20 every two days and the website given to unsubscribe show error. Please disconnect this Airtel WAP form my number [protected] immediately,

Post paid SIM not received
I requested a prepaid connection to post paid connection 3 weeks back at PUNE, Chinchwad. The Airtel person came to my company to collect the documents & charges. After a rigorous follow up my pre paid SIM card is blocked while i am yet to receive the post paid SIM card. The Airtel person (SHASHIKANT - [protected])) is not even picking up my calls since last few days.

THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE POOR SERVICE OF AIRTEL.

Now i don't understand what has to be done.

Hi,

My mobile number is +91 [protected] and I have been using international roaming service in UK on this number since 28th October, 2008. But since yesterday afternoon, I could not register with the mobile service providers in UK.I have tried with three different handsets but the problem still persists.

The airtel customer care does not seem to have any clue about this. A rectification of service on this phone is requested at the earliest.

Thanks,
Dheerendra R.

A deduction of Rs.630/- has been made from my outstanding balance on 25.2.2009 from my Airtel Prepaid Number [protected] on account of various Airtel Service like 64611010, 64611015, 64611099 etc.whereas I has neither subscribed any of such service nor downloaded any of these contents. I simply tried to login Yahoo Messger WAP portal but failed time and again. The matter was brought to the notice of Customer Care at 121 as well as GPRS technical helpline but no satisfactory reply was given.

This is also brought to the notice that I am using this number from November, 2003 and I have never downloaded any of such contents ever. The matter may be looked into failing which I will be compelled to discontinue the said number due to the charges willfully imposed for the services not utilised by me.
