visited your vileparle east gallary to understand why my earlier request to get payment from my card directly didnt activated. i was told my card provider bank declined request but nobody could tell me reason for declining . i was told to fill form again & this time i gave citibank card xerox as asked by them . today on 17th dec 2008 i recd a call from airtel asking me to pay money in spite i completed formality to pay thro credit card.today itself i visited same gallary at vileparle east market. i enquired again for reason but your staff at that gallary is highly incompetent & worst is they repeat what i say but offer no solution. the store mngr miss kajal is totally unfit for job . iwhen i didnt get convincing answer from miss sabina, she called her & she was worst .when i told them to cancel my fnumber, instead of pacifying me kajal was too fast to do that.if you haqve such untrained staff who is too fast to loose customer only god can save you.
i am sure if Mr. Sunil Mittal will know this incident he will take corrective measures to stop this .
i was always paying thro std instuction to pay thro card but after expiry when i recd new card i went to revalidate my instruction & did exactly what your staff asked me to do .where is my mistake? my payment record with all bank is clean & impressive .then i must know from you eactly what reason bank has given for declinig my request?
hope you will take corrective action & rep[ly to my mail. my email add is [protected]@hotmail.com & my mo no is [protected]

I have a complaint regarding VAS charges deducted from my father's post paid mobile connection ([protected]) active in Kurukshetra Haryana on his name (Dr. S.K.Sharma). It has been 6 months now and the charges of Rs99/- are put everymonth in mobile bill.

My father has called up many times to customer service to unsubscribe this service. he even visited airtel office of Kurukshetra but of no avail. Such is the height o[censored]nprofessionalism that nobody from airtel has ever called up to listen to the grievence.
Looks like we would need to look for other alternatives.

Thanks

In todays era if anyone can show as to how to turn off a customer by customer service, I believe Airtel would be no 1.

For even a small problem, you need to call the pune center several times, give the same story at least to 200 different people...& in the end the Customer support officer will say...Sir I am sorry, but I cannot help you

God, If by chance you purchase the package & want to call call center for some Issue then I ld suggest that you forget the remaining money you have in package as most likely chances are that you ll end up spending the same ammount of money calling up call center.

I got Airtel Prepaid connection from an authorised vendor in Pune. From day one I am unable to receive SMS from overseas, and I lodged my complaint with Customer care 121 and sent an email to [protected]@airtelindia.com on 4th December. UNtil now my problem has not been solved and I have had no response to my email. Everyday I have been calling 121, and the staff there tell me that the problem will be solved within 24 hours. I and my contacts have been put to unnecessary expense, and in all fairness Airtel should compensate.

We have not received any mobile bill w.e.f. 23.10.2008 to till date 16.12.08.

although i submmited your all payment but now i cannot pay any payment without bill.

kindly request please provide our mobile on website my e-mail ID : harish.[protected]@rediffmail.com

This is with reference to my Airtel No.[protected] wherein before travelling to Bangalore on 15th.December, I had lodged a complaint with the Customer Care that during my earlier visit during November, '08 at Tumkur, I couldnot reach my son's Airtel No.[protected] throughout my stay at Tumkur for 15 days.During this time, to avoid such a situation I lodged A complaint with Ms.NEHA AT 12-33PM ON 13TH.DECEMBER. Iwas assured that it was a technical fault at Delhi which would be rectified by 15th.morning.Unfortunately this was not so.I am a single lady and feel frustrated at the deteriorating sevices provided by Airtel.All my communications have to be enrouted through my Husband's mobile to my son.EVEN TODAY I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND TO PERSUE THE COMPLAINT TO YOUR CUSTOMER CARE THROUGH [protected] AT DELHI.HE DISCUSSED WITH YOUR MR.RAJESH AT 12-30PM WHERE HE WAS TOLD THAT THE INHERENT PROBLEM WAS WITH AIRTEL & WOULD BE CORRECTED ON 17TH.DECEMBER.Till such time I again have to continue communication with my son at TUMKUR through my husband's mobile [protected].THIS IS SHEER NONSENSE & SHALL TAKE THIS MATTER UP WITH THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES.
Yours Faithfully,
MRS.SARBARI BANERJEE

I have lost my airtel prepaid number. when i lost it, its balance was 381/-(INR).I complained to airtel customer care immediately after loosing it. Guy over phone told me, sir your Sim will be blocked within 4hrs. but i tried my phone after 24hrs, by that time my sim was activate, and person who was using it, kept doing the calls. i asked them who will be responsible if my number is misused then they told we do not know sir. Go to the airtel office and get one duplicate sim, then only your number will be disconnected.. i did the same, but at airtel office (lajpat nagar). first of all they don't have manners to talk. they treat customers as "Dog". and they told we don't have duplicate sim, come after 2 days. so even after 24hrs, they were not able to block my Sim. and they are not ready to help u for anything. Now after 3 days i got duplicate sim, but its been 24hrs, i have taken the Sim, and yet its not activated. so airtel services seems to be very poor these days. As i am using this airtel number from past two years, i am v much hurtled with airtel services. i suggest to everyone. please avoid airtel connections, and i[censored] wanna take, then forget that you will get any help from airtel customer care.
