      Dear sir,
      on 11.8.14 I recharged my mobile no:[protected] for Rs.110 .My earlier balance was Rs. 23 so after Recharge balance shown Rs.116. But the very nex day it showed balance around Rs.84 without any phone call.My phone donot have any net facility either it is a simple phone without having any modern mobile feature.So I do not understand the cause of such reduction in balance.

        I am a customer of bsnl wire line services since 4 years. I have subscribed broadband plan BBG FN HOME 500 COMBO monthly which gives 1.5 GB data in all time and night unlimited[protected] hours free. In July bill bsnl changed my plan BBG FN HOME 500 COMBO too BBG CNT COMBO 500 without intimation. They didn't notify me about this and charged for night hours.in June 2014 my bill was 562 rupees only and now in July its become 25403 rupees.that's not affordable for me.
        please take a look on these topics-
        1. bsnl didn't give me information about night hours[protected] charges change.
        2.. I was not informed about the plan change by bsnl in any form SMS or phone call.
        3. i have been charged for night hours downloads, which in my previous plan were free Since 4 years.
        4. This plan was suddenly changed in July to BBG-CNT-COMBO-500-MONTHLY without my knowledge

        I request you to please consider my complaint and waiver the night hours download for month of July.

          I recharged my contect number [protected] with a 100 Rs recharge. On the next day my balance is deducted, charged Rs40 for service MobTV-All-Channels/Week and massage come to me from 57171. I tried to call customer care many times but no one respond my call. Even I don't know how such a service activated at my number. I just want to complain for refund. This is not first time when I faced such situation. This is like a mental harassment when I just not have more money to spend, such a deduction tortured me. This happened many times. I don't know how it happened, customer care always told me that i have activate such a service but i do't know how it happened. India is a democratic country. And mobile service is also a right of express.A lot of villagers who can not defend their rights they suffered such a harassment and not recharged their mobile because they feared that there balance will again deducted. Is it not against the right to express? If i don't use the service this month why my deduction again happend next month. And so many times it happened. Sir please give me justice

              I have been using the BSNL's BBG FN COMBO 500 scheme for the past 4 years with no complaints, other than some connectivity issues. The night usage from 2am to 8am served me good until yesterday when I checked my bill on "https://portal1.bsnl.in/aspxfiles/instapay.aspx" which shows a staggering amount of Rs. 25403. I then googled about to find the full usage details when came to know that the plan has been discontinued almost a month and a half ago. Why did BSNL not intimate about this Change of Plan? For Telephone Bill, they send emails every month, for other tariffs and offers, they send sms' etc. So why can't they intimate the change of plans to me? I can't afford that much! After a good amount of googling, I found this the case of hundreds of other customers. Is this some sort of strategy of BSNL to make money?

                  Hello sir. BSNL just started charging the free nightly periods(0200 Hrs - 0800 Hrs) from July. We didn't get any such information/message from the BSNL regarding this change through any medium(SMS, email, call). I only learnt about this today I received the bill SMS from BSNL. I m billed ₹ 10, 336 because the nightly usages are charged which I didn't know about then. It is not fair that they just removed free nightly periods without informing their customers. Kindly ask them to get my bill corrected i.e. removal of charged nightly usage.

                                I have a BSNL broadband connection[protected] with plan 650FN (night unlimited). On 8th July i received my BSNL bill in which it was mentioned that from 1st of july download during night would be charged, but till that date i have downloaded 12 GB of data. Now as the information was given to me after 8 days this download should not be counted for bill as the delay for informing me about change of plan details ?is on BSNL part. Now i got bill for July and BSNL have charged 1000 rupees extra for the download which I have don under my night unlimited plan. As a customer i should be pre-informed for any major change of plan so i can schedule my usage, now i have changed my plan to 1445(unlimited usage) I request you to get the bill corrected as per above description and exempt my night usage from 1st to 8th July. I have lodged written request to BSNL patiala head office on 11th July as well as ONLINE CUSTOMER GRIEVANCE portal (PJB/CO/2014/11491) on 31st July, but have not got any revert

                                  Address: Pathanamthitta, Kerala

                                  This is to bring to your notice that my broad band internet linked to my BSNL land phone[protected] which was being used from October 2007 with the first modem bought from BSL Pandalam for Rs 1200/- then had complaints with internet connection once in a year frequency and of late the problem is frequently happening for the past 4 months first with the land line coonection in June first week which after reporting to higher officials in BSNL of the rank of General Manager was rectified after 20 days. These sort of complaints earlier was resolved by telephonic complaints to 198 number before this past 4 months and was resolved immediately. From May- June 2014 it is observed that complaints even if in black and white with head office of Kerala at Trivandrum and repeated phone calls from my side to officers of BSNL helped me to restore phone connection in 20 days. Now from 02nd of August with my internet not working I complained in my local i.e Pandalam telephone exchange under Pathanamthitta district and was asked to buy a new modem, same was bought for Rs 2000/- and I informed broad band internet not working to telephone exchange, Pandalam personally and through phone but no action till date. Its found that internet works when its directly connected through phone to modem in which case my landline does not work and hence I miss many important phone calls. I have raised e-mail and online complaints from 07.08.2014 with docket nmbrs KRL/CO/2014/14523 and[protected] respectively but no action even with consumer complaints being registered.
                                  Please advise, who will fix this problem whether it would be the BSNL staff or Central govt. minister itself.

                                  Thank you,

                                    Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

                                    I have raised a complaint on 17th July 2014 for the BSNL Broadband[protected] which was completely out of order due to no ring tone on land line device. Attached photo proof of complaints raised.

                                    It seems to be an small issue and could be solved within a day. Rather than I had to visit in person to the nearest telephone exchange (IIMB, Bangalore, Bannerghatta Road) daily for a follow up. All the time I was promised to resolve it by today but in reality nobody responds back.

                                    After visiting many time to exchange and at last I visited to the head in charge on 29th July 2014, he called and assigned this issue to some other person. Even given his number for a follow up. I met that person and brief him all the story. He came to home after 2hours and checked the problem. Thank GOD, somehow my telephone now started working with partial BB connection. They told BB will work on full fledge after a day.

                                    OMG!!! NOT AGAIN...This is embarrassing now...the day after all connections are dead like before and I am screwed up once again.

                                    I can not repeat this process once again for running behind BSNL executives.

                                    Please help me in this regard.

                                    Thanks,

                                        The BSNL mobile tower situated at Tengapukhuri, District: Sivasagar, Assam remains down when there is an electricity power cut in the area. Being a remote area we often face power cut in the locality, but at the same time we dont get mobile network coverage from the nearest mobile tower in Tengapukhuri. The local people are facing this problem for almost a year now. Online/telephonic complaints have been booked but the problem was not solved till now. On behalf of the people o My locality I request BSNL authority to look into the matter and solve he problem
