Airtel — Deactivation of My SIM

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Sir, I was BSNL customer for a long time with same number [protected]. Due to worst network and service back up I had opted for Portability option from BSNL to Airtel a year ago. For sometimes, airtel network too bad but using the above mentioned (Now Airtel) number in my Tab for quite long time. As I am associated with a trust, I depend on my tab for everything from communication to banking. Quite often I recharge for my data and using it. On 07/10/2014 evening, I was unable to use my tab as No network was available. Whole night waited and remains same. On 08/10/2014, morning, I visited Airtel relations ship center at Chrompet, Chennai. After three hours of wasting my time, One employee told, Your SIM ([protected]) was not in use. I asked the reason and told, until last day evening I used and what happened suddenly? Then one officer told, I have to apply afresh with ID proofs for re activation and have to wait for one week. I was dejected and disappointed and submitted required proofs with form. They provided me a new SIM[protected]) for the cost of RS, 25/= On 11/10/2014, morning, after heavy try, I could manage to speak with your customer care executive on mobile number [protected] and told everything. After checking details, your executive told, No such airtel number ([protected]) is present in our records and asked me to call Airtel nodel officer in Mobile No. [protected], on Monday (13/10/2014) also provided me a SR no: [protected]. On 13/10/2014. I have been calling Nodel officer number and been banged with series o[censored]seless IVR responses. I brief What happen. When I call Nodel officer No [protected], Namaste, a very warm welcome to Airtel. For English Press 1 and HIndi Keliye Dho(2) Dhabaiyen (I pressed 1) IVR : first time user use 121 and 198 for complaints and queries. Listen carefully the options If you are having SR No press 1 If you are unable reach 121 or 198, Press 2 (I pressed 1) IVR : Press 1 for postpaid and 2 for prepaid (I pressed 2) IVR : Enter your 10 digit Mobile number I keyed in - [protected] IVR : Sorry this number is invalid Again i tried through another option IVR : first time user use 121 and 198 for complaints and queries. Listen carefully the options If you are having SR No press 1 If you are unable reach 121 or 198, Press 2 (I pressed 2) IVR : Please call 121 for queries and 198 for complaints. Should I laugh or cry? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase help me to retrieve my number [protected] ASAP as this number is very very important and registered mobile number in many services (Sir above IVR responses are not as exact as original) My alternative Mobile no: [protected]

After above mail, I had sent complaint to Airtel Appellate authority too. Soon, Mr. Deepak from Chennai, Chropmpet Customer Relationship centre personnel called me and promised me to resolve. He was very kind and responsible. After his 5 days marathon effort and my relentless chase, finally today (18/10/14), the issue resolved. I thank Mr. Deepak for his patience and understanding as well as, I kindly request Airtel to improve your service backup more. Thanks
