Bharat Sanchar Nigam [BSNL] Complaints & Reviews

Hi
I was given a high bill for my cellone mobile last month (almost double of what I get every month) But when I tried to complain and asked them to verify my bill they staff were very rude and I was told that there simply cannot be any mistake in the calculation and to get a detailed billI need to go through a procedure which extends till the next working day! Other than this he used bad language and physical violence to drive me away. It is disgusting that BSNL works like this ignoring all the competition from all other private companies. The only reason it survives is simply becos it is the cheapest. Otherwise with this kind of attitude of the employees noone would like to use BSNL

I have activate my Hello tunes on 17.02.2009, but it is not activated till 04.03.2009. I have complain a lot of time to their customer care, but I have not get any reply

I have UP East Pre-Paid (Mobile Number [protected], sim no[protected]) Connection. I want to know PUK number of My Mob number [protected].

I am a postpaid connection holder of cellone from thiruvananthapuram, kerala for the last so many years.My mobile number is [protected].I was paying the bill throuh ecs from Centurian Bank.Suddenly on 5th of march 2009 by 11 am while i was attending a call my call was cut and i could not make any outgoing calls or i could not recieve any incoming calls.
I went to the nearby BSNL office near Goverment Press thiruvananthapuram and enqired what happend.The officer who was there to collect money told me that my phone was disconnected and i should pay a sum of Rs2835.I told him that i will pay the dues for january 2009 by cash now itself and the dues for February 2009 will be paid as cheque since i didnt reciev any bill for the same .The officer didnt agree to it.
Then I went to the bank and collected money and went to bsnl office near Pattom LIC .There the officer was of the opinoin that i need pay the dues for January 2009 now, and the amount for February need be paid after getting the bill .
Any way i paid an amount of Rs 2835 in cash.He told me I will get reconnection within one hour.I waited till 7 pm on 5th and I didnt get reconnection.I called customer care and registered a complaint .Anyway till 10.am on 6th March 2009 I didnt get reconnection.Since i was very badly in need of active mobile connection I personally went to the bsnl office where i remitted cash and enquired the officer who was there to collect money .He told me that his job is only to collect money and if you have any problem you go to the second floor and tell somebody there.I went to the second floor of that office where i could find an accounts officer named Mr.Sanal and he helped me a lot and i got reconnection within 5 minutes.
Later I could understand that centurian bank was merged with HDFC bank and they had informed bsnl the factual delay that may happen.
I am a doctor and my mobile number was given to so many and so i was totally disurbed due to unfair attittude of your staff.The bsnl could have given me a warning that my mobile phone bill was pending before discnnecting both outgoing and incomming abrubtly.Please give your officers to atleast behave properly to customers who are genuine.
I request that I may be given a reply acknowledging my letter.
Thanking you

Subject:Waiving of Rental and Broadband charges of 2412899 for the month of Feb-2009.

Sir,

I had applied to BSNL Udaipur office on 31st January 2009, for shifting of my telephone no. 2412899 from my earlier residence at Amrit Bhawan, old Station Road, Udaipur to my new residence at 50, Subhash Nagar, Udaipur. I had also requested at the time of application for an immidiate disconnection of the telephone from my old residence.

However, the telephone has not been shifted even till date (5th March 2009) to my new residence.

As such, the Landline and Broadband services have not been rendered to me for more than a month by BSNL. Hence, as per norms, the rental charges of my telephone bill for the month of February 2009 have to be waived, for which I am entitled.

I also request you to arrange for waiving of Rental and Broadband charges of 2412899 for the month of Feb-2009, as well as shifting of my landline[protected] at the earliest, so that I am not deprived of the services any further. Per norms, I will also be entitled for a waiver of rental charges for March 2009, if the services are not restored even uptill 10th March 2009.

Request you again to please do the needfull at the earliest.

Thanking you
Yours sincerely

I have BSNL (UP east- Lucknow) post paid (525 plan) connection having mobile no [protected]. I applied for GPRS activation through SMS (gprs49) on[protected] and I got confirmation message along with settings. After installation of settings I tried for connection but every time since then I am getting error message "subscribe to packet data first". Several times I tried to contact customer care & always get assurance that your problem will be resolved within 24 hrs but since then a lot of 24 hrs has been passed but problem is not resolved yet. To contact Customer care, itself a big task but I have contacted at least 5 to 6 times during this period. Customer care persons replies are hopeless always trying to divert the problem. When I tried gprs from friends bsnl SIM on my set it worked fine.
May please help to forward this complain to a person of BSNL who can resolve it.

Thanks.

Last one year we are unable to get corrected the bsnl line 22521823 and no proper response from the Muhallivakam bsnl tel exe and unable to use the broad band /telephone
