My name is prof s. L. Hiremath, a retired dean, and registrar of central university of gujarat. I was repeatedly contacted by airtel sales people, unsolicited, requesting me to port in to airtel with my cell no. [protected]. Promising to send their technical/sales representative to my residence for filling up the form and collection of photo and documents. It is disappointing to hear from airtel the same song that i have been hearing from their people one after the other every time i seek help in getting the service activation. There must be something seriously wrong with them in understanding my issue. It is a very cheap sales strategy to contact and pester the customers to port in, repeatedly contacting them over phone unsolicited, send the representatives to the residence promising services that they can not provide, compel them to send port requests, make them pay outstanding bill of current service provider, take the upc, take the documents and photographs, give a sim card promising that they will get a activation sms in 6 to even days and abscond, never be available for contact then keep sending mails to the customers to visit your relationship centre with documents for activation of services despite having taken all documents. This is a cheap sabotage sales practice airtel is practicing. I have written eleven replies to their mails after falling pray to their sales people twice and porting twice on the promise that services will be activated in a week’s time starting from 4th march. Every time a different sales person contacts me for the fear of me slapping the earlier for having cheated me.
It is disgusting for me as a senior citizen and a senior retired government servant to go begging to their so called relationship centre with documents for activation after having been pestered and promised service at doorsteps.
If they have targets of sales to achive it should not be at the cost and inconvenience to the customers.
