A few months ago, one day, somebody called me over my BSNL landline Telephone and offered Online Games of BSNL. He told me that he was calling from BSNL. I was made to understand that these games were offered online free of cost (and, as the call was from the Govt owned BSNL, I had no doubt on this); and then he asked me to do certain operations on my laptop, and did as he was asking me to do (as I said, I had no doubt, as the call was from the BSNL). Thereafter an amount of Rs.200 was charged to my Telephone Bill every month (which I could observe only recently, in my BSNL Telephone Bill No.[protected] dt 06.08.2011; TELEPHONE NO [protected]; BSNL ACCOUNT NO. [protected]; and my BSNL CUSTOMER ID NO [protected].

The way the innocent users of landline telephones of the reputed BSNL are being cheated is to be viewed very seriously; or else, the reputation of the State-owned BSNL will be NO MORE. Hence, the Authorities concerned may please look into this entire operation of booking innocent clients of the BSNL; take steps for IMMEDIATE STOPPAGE of this fraudulent practice being thrusted on the gullible users of BSNL landlines.

I also request the concerned Authorities of the BSNL to arrange for adjustment of the amount of Rs.200 per month that was charged to my Telephone Bill (reference/details given above) to my future bills (amount charged need not be refunded; but could be adjusted to my future Bills). This amount of Rs.200 was charged for the last 4/5 months; hence, the total amount that was charged may please be adjusted to my future Bills. I never utilized any games - Online or otherwise, please note.

Yours truly,
Mohammad Abdul Whab

From 15/08/2011, I have been sending Short Messages from my BSNL Cell One mobile No. [protected] to many numbers including KBC No. 5252525. None of the messages have been delivered, but the amounts are being deducted and delivery reports show pending. While I contacted the Customer Care, I got a reply the line may be jammed for KBC. But 3 other SMS to other numbers have also been kept pending. After the complaint, one SMS to a private number was delivered and again the blockade has started. When I send SMS from Airtel mobile to KBC the same is instantly delivered. So, the Logic of jammed lines since 8 days is un-explainable. If the statement is correct how the SMS charge is being deucted from my prepaid mobile.

Hello,
I am using BSNL number([protected]). n ma problem is last 1day I not able to send message.
Actually I m doing some setting for Internet. so please solve ma problem. :(

I have a BSNL 3G 7.2 Mbps modem.. Last month on 28th July, i recharged it with 1100 with a scheme of 10GB usage per month. On 19th August, my connection was terminated stating that you do not have sufficient funds to establish this connection. My total usage till date has been 4.02GB as per BSNL modem itself with 10 days remaining for usage. When i spoke with the customer care they said that they will fix it in next 24 hrs and i will get 6GB usage for 10 days.. but till date nothing has happened yet. My modem number is [protected]. This is not the 1st time thing like this has happened and worst part is that BSNL's customer care agents sit there just to sleep. Most of the time they were yawning over the call and dont think anybody is bothered abt it.
Kindly advice.

Regards,
Manish

BSNL LANDLINE CONNECTION HAS BEEN DEAD FROM LAST SEVEN MONTHS. I HAVE COMPLAINT TO MY NEAREST TELEPHONE EXCHANGE MANY TIMES, BUT THEY DID NOT TAKE ANY COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS NUMBER . AS PER J.T.O ,HE IS PROVIDING TO DISCONNECT THE LINE ,THERE IS NO LIMITION OF TIME ,THAT HOW MANY TIME TO TAKE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM ,BUT AT THE SAME AREA OTHERS CUSTOMER ARE GETTING THE FACILITY,BUT IN OUR VILLAGE THERE ARE TWO OR THREE CONNECTION ARE COMPLEATLY DEAD.


I WOULD BE THANKFUL TO YOU ,IF YOU TAKE ACTION TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

My landline telephone out going calls are barred and says that the payment is not made.

I am afraid; that I am a senior citizen and badly required phone usage.

If i was disturbed like this; how can I trust Bsnl; where I am using past 30 years.

I request concerns to look in to this matter and resolve the problem immediately.

I have taken a plan 750 Home Unlimited of BSNL Wimax Internet Broadband which has been a nightmare for me.

All this started on 6 August 2011 when I was given a demonstration of Wimax Broadband by BSNL at my place. In demonstration I got a maximum speed of 900 KBps (Nearly 1 MBps) which was an amazing speed.

So, I took a Wimax connection on 8 August 2011 with 750 Home Unlimited plan and Wimax Device was installed at my home on next day by BSNL provided with my connection no., username and password. After installation also I got the same speed of 900 KBps up to next two days (evening of 11 August 2011).

And after 11 August 2011 evening the speed was suddenly reduced to 100 KBps. And on 19 August 2011 10pm the speed was again reduced to 50 KBps and now_____________ I am being provided the same reduced speed of 50 KBps.

I made a complaint regarding this to BSNL and they forwarded the complain. ZTE Technicians (ZTE is providing the Wimax device with BSNL) came to my house and they checked my device with their login ID and got a very good speed (more than 1MBps). They told me that there is no technical problem, BSNL has bounded speed of
your connection, kindly talk to bsnl, and ZTE team went back.

Again I called BSNL and told them, then they were like “itni hi speed milegi”.
If it is really so then why is BSNL confusing the customers by showing 20 times speed in demonstration?

BSNL says Wimax to be a 4G technology whereas they are providing the speed less than 3G. EVDO Card (3G) provides a speed of 80 KBps which is much more than Wimax. If one has to get 50 Kbps speed only then why should he go for Wimax.
EVDO card of BSNL which Device costs half of cost of Wimax, EVDO has a better connectivity from Wimax, I could carry EVDO anywhere whereas Wimax is a home setup. But BSNL people told me that Wimax has better speed. In my words I can say that BSNL is cheating its customers.

Apart from this there is also a major problem after the speed reduction of 11 August 2011. My Wimax Device is hardly able to get connection to its portal. Means I am not able to use its services with reduced speed also. After its speed has been reduced I am able to use internet very rarely, e.g. whenever it gets connected I can use internet until I shut down my Wimax device because after this I cant say that it will connect to internet after how many days. This problem also started after reducing the speed.
Means I am paying a worthless huge amount to BSNL for nothing. And after paying such amount I have to wait for two to three days even for checking my mail.






Additional details

As per this plan user will get a speed of 512 Kbps wherever technically feasible. Whereas in my locality there is no question of technical feasibility as I was already getting 20 times faster speed than this and also I am residing within 2km from nearest transmission (Pahariya BSNL Exchange) whereas its range is upto 15kms.

So, Kindly look after the matter and either provide me a better speed and connectivity or I would like to surrender as I can’t even browse internet with this and I have to pay a huge amount to BSNL for this worthless service.


Thanking you

I recharged my phone number [protected] with Data Recharge voucher 4200 on 20/07/2011. Its worth rs.4200 and provides 6 gb internet data usage limit every month for 6 months. Basically according to plan, my gprs account should be automatically recharged with 6 GB data allowance after every 30 days. I got the first 6 GB as soon as i recharged. but after 30 days were over on 18/08/2011, my GPRS account was not recharged with another 6 GB data. The customer care representatives are a bunch of clue-less persons who know nothing about their own products. Even after calling 20-30 times I did not get any kind of help from them. Please help. I will never ever use BSNL.
