I am using Airtel service from past three years and my number is [protected]. Two month back I got call from one of Airtel office for changing prepaid plan to post paid under some scheme. I attached all documents which was required for the same.

It is height of irregularity of person who is in process of address verification. I am software eng and I always need to be in touch of clients. So you may understand the requirement of mobile in my life. But I am very sorry to say one person who involved in address verification process is not doing his job in right way. I have given my local address but that person could not get my local address while I get all my courier and mail at the same address (if you want I may show you all my envelops) . Even I have also given some contact numbers with my local address, But he simply reported that numbers are not working while FC road Airtel branch office’s person verified that these numbers are working properly. Due to this my address verification has been negative and my both outgoing and incoming service has been blocked. Even I have requested Saturday and Sunday is holiday in my company. But still he did address verification on another day while I have mentioned him that from Monday to Friday I used to come late from office due to official work. Even in starting three time it was decided that address verification person would come between 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM in any specified. But still he did not come on the specified time and i was waiting for him.

So u may understand the irregularity of person who is involved in address verification process. Due to this customer have to seek for other company’s services. Please take the appropriate action for these irregularities. So that other customer would not face the same problem in future.

    To,
    M/s. Bharti Airtel Ltd.

    Sub- Complaint for over charging.

    Dear Sir/madam,
    I am continuously facing problems, I am Airtel consumer since long but till date
    We are not happy due to continuously problems from your end ,it seems as if your
    Company is generating revenue by cheating consumers. Kindly have a look to those problems we encountered,

    1/Ring Tone Activation – This was done without our concent. (We had paid for reactivation too)

    2/ Again Ring Tone Activation – This was done without our concent. Again (We had paid for reactivation too)

    3/ Cricket Score was activated This was done without our concent. (We had paid for reactivation too)

    NOW- We have Rs.250 Top Up Valid till 9 Nov2007.
    on our life time (As per Plan) (You are Charging)
    Airtel to Airtel – 30 Paisa PerMin- 1 Rupee/Min

    As per conversation Customer Care Swati / Neha they explained due to less out going
    Airtel is averaging account.

    Explain already when we paid for low terrif how you can over look.
    In case if you are not refunding the excess charged we shall go for consumer court and others.

    Reply within 12 hours.

    Already we had faxed the matter to [protected]. as hardcopy evidence

        i had recharged my phone number airtel prepaid number [protected] on 30/9/07 with an amount of rs 500/.after a little while i received a sms from airtelstating"sorry,your request cannot be processed at this time".instead of recharging it by the next day or so they returned my amount back to my bank account for which i am thankfull to Airtel.yesterday again i tried to recharge through the net for the same amount as earlier rs 500/ and i received the same sms as earlier.now,at about 14.15 hrs i treid recharging with rs 100/ and get the same sms as above.what i donot understand is that if Airtel cannot provide us the recharing facility through the net then they should stop fooling people .now i have to get back rs 600/ from them.what the hell is wrong with this organization??????????????/
        if there is a time duration between which the recharging can be processed then please do specify .donot make a fool of the people utilising your phone.
        hope this problem will be rectified soon and such inconveniences will not be faced by the consumers.

        If they cannot provide this facility, they should remove this option from internet.
        I had recharged with rs100 for the cell [protected]. I have not got any message for not being recharged with the amount. Could you please look into this. Is this facility really available, if so it should have worked with 1 hour as per the activation list.
