    Airtel — non responding proper feed back

    my mobile no is [protected]& [protected] my complant is this that i request your air tel exucative to activate two year advance rental plan but my several request on phone he is not lisning my voice so i complant to your website kindly call my phone to resolve this problam
    Hi all
    My friend purchased an airtel prepaid card on 25th of April he submitted all my documents in Airtel office which is opposite to Abirami mega mall purasiwalkam chennai.

    After there days his outgoing was disconnected, We called Airtel customer care and they said that my card is been deactivated since they didn't received my address proof which we submitted in the Airtel office. So he asked the agent whether he should submit his address proof again she asked him to wait for 72 hours so that the issue will be fixed.

    Then on Friday the 8th of may we called back the customer care to check the status and they said that they didn't received the address proof yet. So we went to the Airtel office where we submitted the address proof and they said that they have processed it and they even provided the LC number which is 99. So we called Airtel back and gave them the LC number but the only answer we received from the customer care is it will take 72 hours.

    Then he received a mess form the Airtel stating the number is been activated but still he was not able to do outgoing since the number was not activated. So once again we called customer care and this time we didn't received a proper response form them they where keen in disconnecting the call.

    So we asked them to connect the call to supervisor and they connected to Frankylen and he promised that he will call us back with he solution by 12 pm on 12/5/2009 but we didn't received any call. We called back and they provided Nodal office number to give a complaint but that number is always busy.

    We called back the customer care and now they are not responding properly and we have wasted more then 15 days to fix the issue but still the issue is not fixed.

    Let us wait and see who in Airtel is going to take responsibility to fix the issue.
    Hey i forgot to give my mobile number its [protected] if any one in Airtel want to take responsibility to fix the issue kindly call me in this number.

    Bharti Airtel — Unresolved Network Issue & pathetic Customer Care service

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I Mr. Lalit Hingorani have been customer of Bharti Airtel Cellular service for around 5 yrs now & all my family members have been users of your cellular service. But the treatment that I am getting these days from your customer care executive & the time they are taking to resolve complaints are pathetic. I have been facing netwrok issues at my residence and my office. despite regular complaints I havent seen any action taken for my complaints. I have informed the executive who calls for airtel servoce feedback about the same issue yet I havent seen any response. My work place is at Powai Hiranandani & even though my phone show full network when people try to call me they get the message that my number is out of n/w area. I stay put at mulund(W), near Nirmal lifestyle and I have n/w issues even here.If i move from 1 room to another while on call my calls drop. Despite giving the complaints n mumber of times no one has bothered to look into it. On top of that when I called up your customer care, the executive said he cant take my complaint as the systems are down. The executive and the shift officer ill treated me. When I raised my voice for not having the issue resolved, the shift officer says that he will put a note of bad conduct against my account. 1st of all when I asked for him the shiftofficer was not on his flor during his shift hours and on top of that he tried to put a blame on me. Also he said that if you raise your voice your complaints will never get resolved. Is this the kind of service you provide to your cutomers. Your customer care executives are not even bothered of loosing a customer. They are ok if you tell them that you would disconnect the service.I have been trying to contact the nodal office n number of times but either she is busy on another call or her number is busy. The nodal officer doesnt even have the courtsey to give a call after seeing n mo. of miss calls from the same number. It would be great if some actions will be taken against n/w improvement immediately and also provide lessons to ur
    customer care executive's and shift managers on how to treat customer.

    Regards,
    Lalit Hingorani

    Airtel — Unresolved complaints

    I have a landline[protected] for over 4 years. This phone had the IDD and STD facility.

    I have been away for 8 months and on my return I find that I am unable to make any IDD or STD calls.

    I lodged a complaint with Airtel and am told that I do not have the said facilitites in my phone and that the same would be activated in 4 hours.

    Even after 7 days, the problem persists and each call to Airtel I am given a new complaint number. On follow up with Airtel yesterday,I was told that though I had made a request the same has not been activated. This would take 4 hours. This morning, I am still unable to make calls and I am told that the STD facility has been activated on the 9th of Dec and there is no IDD facility on the phone.

    Inspite of Airtel's confirmation that the STD facility has been activated I am unable to make STD calls as I am unable to dial beyond 124 to activate my STD lock.

    Apparently, Airtel does not maintain a history of the details available for a given number and the log of complaints. Each time I am given a new complaint number.

    Airtel — Reimbursement of Subscriber Enrollment charges

    I applied for the Broad band airtel connection in the december 25 2009 and paid Rs.500/- to the sales executive who collected the money and requirement document for new connection. after 5 days the technical team revert back to me that it is not feasible to provide a connection at home. then i asked how should i get the refund of the amount paid. Airtel customer care replied that the amount will be refunded back to me with in 15 days from the date of cancellation. Until now i did not receive any amount by way of cheque and i am continuous calling the airtel people from past one week and response is poor.

    It was escalated to the escalating team of Airtel and still there is no solution. I am totally vexed with the response of airtel.
    Hi sir,I have been using Airtel for the past 11 months. I am very unsatisfied with the customer service.I am facing a problem and when i contact the customer support regarding that problem they says me that will be resolved in 4 days and even after 4 days the problem continues and when i try to call them i couldn't evn make a call to the customer service. They have disabled that service on my phone.If i wanna talk to them regarding my problem i have to call them from my cousins or my colleague's phone.Will you please look in to this issue. I was being harassed by their service and by their behavior on phone,they abruptly disconnects my cal when i ask about my problem .My number is [protected].Hope some one will help me through this issue
    I am trying to get my Airtel 3G services re-activated after paying my Bill amount of Rs 4494 for the month of May - June 2012, but the services are not activated still. When called [protected] the following happened:

    1. First Customer care officer said you have paid in credit card so the status is in Pending and will be active within 4 hrs. - I said ok and cut the call.
    2. Second officer said me to call 12134 - he said i can call this number from any mobile or Land line. - I tried and nothing happened.
    3. Third officer said remove the sim and reinsert - I tried Nothing happened
    4. Fourth officer said call [protected] or [protected] - I called [protected] and i was redirected to [protected].
    5. I called [protected] and here they redirected me to the first number [protected].

    Airtel 3G is pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic. Frustrated to the core....
    I am working for MNC, submitted all relevant documents to have my airtel prepaid sim connection get converted to airtel postpaid CUG connection. It's been a month but still the request is not processed properly. When I contacted them, they told me that they are having some issues while processing. Also they updated me that they never took this kind of request because of this system issue. Rather than fixing this system issue, they are updating that Number portability or new connections works properly. It has been escalated to their manager still no luck. Now they are not even responding to my calls or messages. Can this issue be addressed please ?
    I repeatedly have issues with Airtel Broadband and a while back in getting a new sim card.

    DSL ID : [protected]_tn

    About Broadband - I was given an assurance that the issue with my broadband will be fixed over and over but until yesterday there has been continuous disconnection happening (Intermittent connection) right from the day 1 and for a few days there was no internet at all. Finally, it all seems to be working for a day but I can't give a confirmation on the fix however I asked them not to charge me for the days when no internet connection was available.

    First 5 days after getting the internet connection there was an outage and they are ready to revert back only those charges but not ready to revert back the charges for days I haven't been able to use the service.


    Existing SIM card # since 2008 - [protected]

    About New SIM Connection - About 6 months back, I had applied for a new SIM connection and the number was [protected]. I work in DLF. I provided all the proofs that were required. Onsite tech visited my house address twice and completed the house verification however he could not complete the verification of my office address.

    I made several phone calls to Airtel and specifically told them that without an original Govt. ID proof nobody will be allowed inside of DLF.
    The tech from Airtel visited DLF and returned without even calling me as he was not allowed inside without Govt. ID proof.
    I called Airtel again and spoke to a few supervisors and requested them to have the Onsite tech to call me when he his at the DLF gate so I can take him inside as a visitor to complete my verification. Which again Airtel failed to do.
    I was pretty frustrated by them and complained to the same supervisor about it but all he had to tell me was "AIRTEL ONSITE TECH WILL COME ONLY WITH HIS AIRTEL ID CARD AND IF HE IS NOT ALLOWED INSIDE, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING". I then had nothing to say and I asked him how does the process go for those who work in DLF in getting a new sim connection. He replies, "The guy from Airtel for that area takes care of it and he does not have that person's phone number".

    I sent several emails to Airtel regarding this but never got proper response.

    Below is the email conversation that I had with Airtel.

    See I dont have a problem with the number now.
    I need to know the process of your verification because to get inside DLF you need get a govt id proof and submit it at the security desk otherwise you cant get in.
    It does not matter how many ever sim cards i take from you it will go as rejection because of your pathetic way of verification that none of your reps are ready to provide a govt id proof at the security desk of DLF.

    Namaste Mr. Kumar,

    You wrote in on 17/12/2012, concern regarding address verification not done and requesting to reactivate your airtel postpaid mobile number [protected]

    We regret the inconvenience caused to you in this regard.

    We wish to inform you that the above mentioned airtel mobile number has been permanently disconnected with effect from 13/12/2012 due to address verification rejection.

    Hence, we regret to inform you that we are unable to reactivate the same number from our end.

    However, we request you to check the availability of the same number in the nearest airtel Relationship Centre. In case the number is available, the same number will be considered as a new connection.

    We request you to walk-in to any of the nearest airtel relationship center, submit the following documents along with Subscriber Enrollment Form and purchase a new postpaid SIM card.

    1. One passport size photograph
    2. Address Proof
    3. Photo ID proof

    For a new postpaid mobile connection you would also need to pay a refundable security deposit and an onetime activation fee.

    Once all the required documents along with security deposit and activation fee have been received, your new Airtel SIM will be activated.

    We would like to thank you for taking out the time to voice your concern. At airtel, we believe that our customer's feedback is a valuable input which helps us to improve our services and ensure that we strive towards achieving customer satisfaction.

    Your suggestions/feedback are always welcome.

    I don't think these Nodal officers seem to understand what i am trying to say.
    Hope you do.
    I work at DLF. If your representative has to verify my office address he has to
    provide a government photo identity proof at the security desk otherwise nobody
    can get in.
    Despite informing your Team Leads that your rep has to submit his/her govt ID
    proof, here I get a reply from Reddy (TL) saying that the rep will carry only
    the Airtel ID card and not any other govt ID proof which is mandate to get
    inside of DLF.
    I need the number [protected] what so ever be it and you send your rep for
    re-verification.

    Thanks,
    Nandha Kumar

    card for airtel mobile number [protected].

    Thank you for mail to airtel and welcome the opportunity to assist you.

    We regret to inform you that the Outgoing call service has been deactivated, as
    the address verification was not successful.

    At airtel, we enforce the most stringent security measures and it is our

    Post submission of the documents for your connection, there is an address
    verification process that has to be fulfilled. Therefore, we request you or any
    of your relatives to be available at the premises (Current address) and furnish
    the original documents in order to retain the number in active status.

    We hope that we have been able to address your concern suitably.

      Hi,

      I bought Airtel Digital TV (HD) about 10 months back and have been regularly recharging on time. We went out of station between Jan 10th and Feb 10th. When we came back we found that the Digital TV was not working. When we went to the apartment terrace to check the Dish Antenna we were surprised to see that the Antenna Receiver was missing. It was professionally being removed, I guess by an Airtel technician. When we called Airtel customer care (which has very poor service), they said that customer id number doesn't belong to me, and also the registered mobile number was recently changed to some other number. We were surprised to hear this and when asked why it was changed they had no answer. They transferred the call twice but none of the representative was able to provide clear answer. In fact they said that we need to pay Rs. 260 to replace the Antenna receiver. Why should I pay this amount ? The customer representative said that he will inform this to senior manager and someone will call us within 48 hours. Now its more than 2 weeks and nobody from Airtel has bothered to call us. We are unable to watch anything on our LED from past few weeks.

      I would request to take action against Airtel's unprofessional act and poor customer service. I want this issue to be resolved as soon as possible with no charge.

      My Airtel Customer ID : [protected] (but it seems its assigned to someone else)
      My mobile number : [protected]

        plz send call hisory of my mob. [protected] for last six months, which is very important to me.
        Dear Sir,
        My name is Bijo Samuel and i am using this Air-tel from a long period my phone number is [protected], Today i received your service message that RC with 155 with full talk time, so i did it, but when i checked the balance it was not there, so i talked to the retailer about this problem and they called 12144 to confirm this. This retailer is running a medical shop at that time they were very busy and asked to talk to the lady of the above mentioned number, while i was talking she told me to stop the loudspeaker of the phone, I told this lady that the loudspeaker was off and i was talking through the handset. but she did not believe me and she insulted me very badly. I went to your Pattom branch in Trivandrum to complaint against this matter. I have a request that please don't allow your staff to behave like this to your customers. I like your services very much please don't repeat this with others.
        Thanks with regards

          Address: Vellore, Tamil Nadu

          Ref: Complaint no. 11912432/ L.Mohammed Nawaz/ Ph:[protected]/ Account No.15727064/ Vellore City.

          I Have given a complaint with regard to generation of bill even after disconnection of Broadband service on 18/02/2012 to the nodal officer through mail and I got a reply that my complaint would be processed by 22/02/2012 but I am yet to get any response with regard to my complaint. Today I got another bill for the month of February. I have disconnected my Broadband service on 22/12/2011, yet I have received bills for the month of January and February, 2012. Please resolve the issue and cancel the bills for the month of January and February for which I have not availed Broadband service.

          Facts :

          I have been using Airtel Broadband service for over 2 years in vellore, Due to further studies in Chennai I requested disconnection of my Broadband service on 22nd December 2011 and I gave a letter to the Airtel customer outlet at vellore regarding the same. I informed the lady at the customer service desk to cancel my BB connection immediately, since my bill date is 27th of every month. Then on 24th December I submitted the Airtel Phone Instrument and BB Modem and got an acknowledgement regarding the same in a letter.

          I paid my December BB bill in January. In February I received yet another bill for the BB Service. I went to the customer care centre and asked them about it. I related the situation to the lady, for a brief moment she panicked and then told me that the cancellation has been done only on 9th January. I showed her the acknowledgement copy of submission of Modem and to that she replied that it takes 10 days for cancellation.

          I cannot understand why it takes 10 days for cancellation of Service, Where the data could be processed immediately. I asked the lady to let me talk to the seniors. She led me to a person who is about 25 year old. I then related the situation to that person. The person pointed me to be seated and then for about 10 minutes he kept me awaited over his personal matters. He told me that I have to pay at-least Rs. 110 for the cancellation has been made only on 9th January, 2012. I told him I am not responsible for his and the lady's sluggishness and hence I will not pay the bill. He told me "You have to pay the bill, there is no other way".

          AIRTEL BROADBAND SERVICE — billed after disconnection of service

          I have surrendered the SIM immediately within the 24 hrs of the issue of the SIM because they couldn’t provide me the USB device for broadband. I was keen on taking the Airtel broadband service, but because of the above reason I dropped myself.

          AIRTEL BROADBAND SERVICE — Disconnection of the broadband service

          I am using the airtel broadband service and vacating the house. So I called the cancellation department of airtel to cancel the connection as aI will moving out of my current residence. I called the cancellation department several times and the maximum they would do is give me reference number after refernce numbers. I have been following up with them since november and till date my connection is active. When I last called them up, they told me that my coonection had been deactived since 3rd december but when I called them again after few days to verify, I got to know that they have again activated my connection. I dont want to pay for something which I am not using. I called them again but they spoke to me very rudely and said that they dont know why my services were resumed. They also assured me that they will act on my complaint promptly but till now there has been no resolution. The last complaint number that I got is:
          Complaint Number: 27480864
          Reference Number:[protected]
          Please help me so that I can get rid of this and dont pay money to airtel people as I am no longer using the services.

          Airtel — Broadband service - No response even after 10 days

          I needed Internet Connection at my place on urgent basis so as to handle my international clients from home. I requested AIRTEL executive to visit me to collect money and documents from me so that I can get AIRTEL Broadband service at home situated at Krishna Apra Garden, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad.
          The AIRTEL executive confirmed that I'll get the internet activiated within two days of application.
          I applied on 19th of October and he (excecutive) mentioned on my Application 'installation date' as 21-oct-2010.
          For the same, he collected INR 500 cheque from me. Same was realized from Bank and money was transfered to AIRTEL account on 23rd Oct'2010.
          But till now, I haven't received any installation of Internet at my home. My international clients called me careless for not responding them on time. AIRTEL has caused my bad reputation among my clients.

          Please help to make sure that AIRTEL should return my installation fee along with damages caused to my reputation.

          Airtel Broadband — Delivering faulty modem - twice and pathetic service response

          As a last attempt to get some decent service from Airtel I am writing to you.

          I have been an airtel customer for about 11 years now and it would be sad to move away from you.
          I have a mobile connection with you, a landline , an IPTV and a broadband with airtel as part of their triple offer. Since i bought that I am faced with such poor service quality on the braodband and IPTV that i am compelled to write here.

          I had raised a compliant on 9th Jan 2011 for my modem not working I was given a time of some 8 hours by which the service would get fixed. Which means no broadband and IPTV for a day. A technician came on 10th Jan 2011 and gave me a modem with in built wireless which worked for an hour and then the wireless part failed. I reopened the compliant on 10th Jan nite and yet again the technician came next day and put in some bogus modem which worked for a few hours and then would not power on at all. Its power button had to be taped up to make it work. I have again registered a complaint and am by now totally frustrated. I received a call back from airtel who said they would look into the issue but i see no action post that. I need to work odd hours as I am in Info Technology field and this is seriously making me miss my work and productivity.

          I would sincerely request you to look into the matter.

          Airtel — Airtel broadband services billed after disconnection

            Dear Airtel,

            You said, “Jaise chai ke sath toast hota hai, waise Har ek friend jaruri hota hai….!”
            Nice lines, but do you ever followed them?

            I have lots of complaints for you, but you don’t have proper customer support to hear them. Finally one of your branch-level managers suggests me to go for portability. It’s really funny, isn’t it?

            I am suffering from many things provided by “a friend called airtel”.

            I was having a plan which offers me 1paise/sec calling. But suddenly from June2011 you started charging me 1.2paise/sec after asking for reason you replied, “Sorry sir, but you recharged with a voucher Rs45 which makes your call for 1.2paise/sec, it’ll be for one month..! Do you need any more help…? Thank you for calling airtel… Have a nice day.. ”

            But you charged me for six months and more with the same charges.

            I was used to it. Then you started debiting Rs1/sms instead of 50paise/sms. This time I decided to go for mobile sim portability. I ask for it.

            Suddenly your department woke up, saying, “Hey our friend is living us, stop him, convince him..!”

            Then your retention department made a call to me, asking the reason. I explained him everything above mentioned.
            He said, “Dear friend of airtel, I am offering a special plan to you. The plan is for six months. You’’ll be charged as airtel-to-airtel 1paise/6sec and airtel-to-other in India 1paise/2sec and any landline call 1paise/sec, Rs1/sms…..This is free to you for 1 month, from next month you’ll be charged rs1/day as a charge for service for 5 months…”

            I said, “OK, give one more chance to my stupid friend”

            The day you called was 16th Jan 2012. You promised that it’ll be start within 72 hours.

            Again I made a call to ask you on 26th Jan. You replied, “Dear (Stupid) FRIEND, the service is already activated from 19th Jan”
            I said, “I am not getting any benefits of the call rates you mentioned”

            You promised to reply in 2 days, but this time too, “Tie tie fish”
            I said to myself, “POPAT”…..

            Then on 19th Feb. You started charging me Rs1/day for service you promised me.
            I made a call, you said nothing.

            I report to nearest branch of Sinhgad road, Pune-Maharashtra on Feb 22, 2012. He is promising me to resolve my problem since then.
            On 27th Feb, the manager (Mrs. Smita Madale, [protected]) over the Sinhgad Road branch, I talked with her too, explaining my issue. She again promised to call me back in 30 minutes, again same story, and no reply.

            One of the next afternoon, one of the customer care executive (Mr. Mayank, [protected]) over there called me and said, “Dear (Stupid) sir, your service will be freshly started within 48 hours. That is from 1st March your six month service will start”

            I was very much happy; you can’t imagine I updated my facebook status too... 

            And yesterday I made a call to the branch-office again, he replied me as, “Dear (stupid) friend, I suggest you to wait for Monday, March 5, 2012, if are not notify please go for portability”

            I am still laughing at these responses from a friend.

            I am using airtel from past six years, but last six months are “ohhhhh”. I don’t want to explain them to anyone more.

            Best Regards.
            One of stupid, Mango (aam, common) man...

                Hello Airtel Customersupport,

                I have Airtel number [protected] for several years and since last week it is suddenly showing as "Inactive SIM".

                I had international roaming enabled on this number as I am currently in Kenya.

                I tried to topup credit on my number, hoping that this is related to zero credit but unfortunately the Airtel recharge page gives me an error that my number [protected] is not a valid prepaid number.

                Please help ASAP.

                Thanks in advance.

                Regards,

When i called customer care they told me that i had activated hungama wap content which actually i havent activated. They told me that i had activated hungama wap content by browsin Airtel Live which i havent opened and they also told me that the money will not be refunded to my account and they are forcing me to accept that i had activated the service. I got a message that 'Thanks for using Pack Purchase subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs 99." So it is my humble request you to sort out my problem. Thank You
                    sir,

                    I do not understand what is this service and why the company deducated Rs 99 from my mobile account for such a service( Pack Purchase subscription Service ) which I never demanded

                    So your goodself is requested that the above amount should be credited in my mobile account ([protected]). Please do the needful in this regards.

                    Thanks and waiting for a response as early as possible.

                      Airtel charged me incorrectly for 6 months rental for 3G in Aug 2011. I filed a complaint and asked for refunds. For this Airtel mentioned that we will provide the refund in the form of Cheque but this cheque never reached me. This cheque was also not encashed by whoever the receiver was so AIRTEL did not loose any money. Now, I have raised lots of complaint and called 100s of times to Airtel, talked to escalation manager, floor manager, Nodal officers etc but no resolution yet. Following are some of the Service request numbers: 39402640, 41540077, 41578525, 41710832. Following is the interaction ID with Nodal officer (Mr Vinay):[protected] which has the latest context. Please note that I have informed in clear terms that I will not make any payments to AIRTEL till this issue is resolved and it has been 5 months now since AIRTEL is working on this issue. I was also not expecting any kind of disturbances in mobile services as this is a corporate connection and I as the customer is not at fault here. Rather I am the one who is doing all the follow ups which is really disappointing.

                      Despite the above clarification Airtel has barred my outgoing calls and 3G services. Airtel presence team from Delhi is also involved but I am not sure why they are not able to resolve it. The issue has simple solutions:
                      1. Cancel the old cheque and issue a new one. Provide me the tracking ID of courier by which the cheque is being sent.
                      2. Simpler solution is: Directly adjust this amount (Rs 2063/-) in current outstanding amount and I can make the remaining payment.

                      The irresponsible behavior from Airtel is really disappointing on this long pending complaint and I am not sure why Airtel presence team is also acting like deaf n dumbs. Anyone knows what else I as a customer can do? What is the next level of escalation?

                      Who says it is resolved? You cannot update status without providing any relief. I have not received any cheque so far, OR any compensation for the trouble I had to take because of Airtel. This issue is not resolved at all !!!

                      To add to above comments: I am not going to settle down with 2063.00 as I was tortured by Airtel for 4 months. I was the one who had to do all the follow ups with Airtel presence team and those follow ups were not on toll free numbers. So, unless there is a sufficient compensation in addition to the amount due from Airtel to me, I cannot consider this issue as resolved.

                        I was using the airtel number more than 8 years, how come you people blocked and deleted my number without informing or sending text. When I went to your customer service they said it was informed to me by call and text, and later it was deleted from our system. Airtel Lairs
                        IF you want the same number again than you should go for billing (postpaid) what’s the cache!!!

                        Lairs, no body tried to inform me neither by phone conversation nor text message, what was your intention to block my simcard number; I had a balance of 58 rupees, how come you people deleted my number from your system. This is under the Airtel Law!! Show me you’re Law Terms and Conditions, Public Service or Personal Service. Im really pissed off from your Damn Things you’re really doing with loyal customers, or you need me to sue on you?
                        My bank accounts service relay on my Airtel number used since 8 years.
                        I want my simcard & same number back without cooking new stories, or I will go to Court.

                        Dear Sir,

                        Airtel is a lousy company. They are big time cheat. They commit something ask to shelve out money for something else. They will make your life hell and their recovery man are Goondas.

                        I was committed by their TSM ANSHUMAN PATHAK and ZSM SUMEET NARANG who are compulsive lairs and cheat. They will make the company pay for their misdeeds. They should be kicked out of the company and an enquiry be initated against them

                        AirTel — Deletion of my number

                        HI ,

                        I had been out of INDIA for 80 days, and I was not aware of the rule that in 3 months the number will be deleted.

                        I have been using my number for the past 6 to 7 years.

                        I had called the airtel customer care number before completion of 90 days, and they had told me that the number has been deleted and it cannot be got back.

                        Today I went to airtel office near my house and they are saying that the number could have been activated if i had come before 90 days.

                        I got wrong communication from the airtel customer care , and they have not logged when I had called them and the conversation between us.

                        I dont know whether airtel can do something like this to a customer who has been using their service for so many years.

                        This problem was due to wrong communication from the customer care agent.

                        The agent in the office spoke very rude as well.

                        Please help me in this regard.
                        This site aint work than whats the use, and i go already to the Customer Service In Malad no respond they said still the same you should contact me and give me the same card and same number. I will not go again and again fed up

                          Hi,



                          I am Vijay Praveen Kumar & i have the airtel sim with number - [protected], which is andhra pradesh number & is currently under roaming in karnataka & on 1/3/2012 morning i got an sms from airtel stating that as this number is not being used since 3 months i need to start using to avoid disconnecton of the same. with immediate effect i have started using the number & made calls as well. when i received another same sms on 2/3/2012, I have checked on the customer care number - [protected] on 2/3/2012 with Mr. venkatesh & Mr.Naveen as well if my numbers ok to use & was reassured that as i started using it & could see 4 calls been made recent, the sim is active & they asked me to ignore the sms received as well.



                          But i was shocked to notice that the sim is inactive this morning & when called the [protected] number i was told after 16 minutes of call by Mr.Subramanyam that the sim is recycled & passed on to his supervisor Mr.mani, who very ubruptly stated that he is from cisco & got nothing to do with the previous associates reassurances on my sim being active & my number is recycled now.



                          I would like to bring to your kind notice that this number has been updated as the only contact number a week back in my resumes & is the only way of contact with many companies for me now & even all my bank accounts & other services have been linked to this number & hence keep getting all sms's to this number itself & hence request you to reinstate the number for me as early as possible.



                          Hope to get the positive result as early as possible from your end.



                          Thanks & Regards,
                          VIJAY,

                              REF: for reasons only they understand

                              I had charged my Airtel mobile [protected] on 22nd feb 2012 for 80.00 Rs and since 1st march random deductions like 1Re and in excess were noted. on the 2nd of march, I had a balance of 59 Rs and it was suddenly wiped off and got a shock when I checked my balance. I immediately went to the Airtel relationship centre and was given a no. to talk to customer service. I called them up and was told that the deduction was for browsing the internet, but I have been browsing for 2 years on wi-fi and never had this problem. When I mentioned this fact they said it was unique for some handsets like blackberry (I used blackberry 8520 which is 2G) and iphones where for some applications they start using 3g services. I corrected them saying my phone was 2g and not 3g compatible, they said is was a slip of tongue and they meant that I was using 2g services.
                              The whole thing seems fishy and how could some applications use prepaid credit when I always use wi-fi at all times. Me explaining this fact seems to have no effect and they insist my phone somehow managed to use the prepaid credit and change the settings by itself to leave me with zero credit.
                              I'm absolutely disappointed with the explanations which they seem to make up as they go along and I doubt my future prepaid recharges would be safe either. I would greatly appreciate if the issue is brought to relevant persons and my money credited. If there is anything I can do myself, advice would be appreciated.

                              Jayakar A.

                                Dear Sir ,
                                This is in reference to a call made to the Blackberry Airtel Customer Care department(7070) from number [protected] at 02:02pm.THE ATTENDENT TOLD HIS NAME Mr.VIKAS.

                                But I am really very sorry to say the Attendant didn't know the sense of talking , If i am not understanding a thing, he is no one to shout on me and say that i am not knowing any thing in a very rude behaviour and sarcastic manner(bad insulting language) to show the customer down ,really it was bad on his part to misbehave in that way which is not at all acceptable and just hell he also turned some words out which is not resistable at all.
                                With only the respect of Airtel I did not reply him and disconnected the phone.

                                But for sure this matter has to be taken up seriously and some Punishment OR STRICT ACTION should be rendered or else i will just Port my number to some other network but i don't want to do that as i am a customer with airtel since last 12years.
                                or else i should move to the higher authorities if nothing is done to it.
                                If attendant like him stays in the company the company would have a very bad impression.

                                So not to increase the complaint and telling about that worst attendant i would like you to take a strict action so that it is never happens again .
                                Will wait for your precious action and the reply to it. Hope to have a serious action from your-side with full investigation to know the worst of it!

                                    Address: Ahmedabad, Gujarat

                                    Inspite of paying the entire annual rental in advance for airtel landline number [protected], the line has been disconnected since last 45 days which is creating a very bad image of airtel. The customer care team along with “Appellate”, “Esupport” and “Nodal” is purposely avoiding this issue and not replying.

                                    No reply to mails, no action taken.

                                    As per customer care executive, the permission for this connection is not there in the society. Our simple question is, how the rental charged in advance and connection given if not permission is there? How the connection stood active for 5 months without any trouble?

                                    If Airtel is not in a condition to provide support, we have requested a refund of the balance rental paid for the period ever since the connection has become inactive.

                                    We expect a call to the user Kalpesh Shah at [protected] with a proper solution. To mention, so far many junior officials have called to give new new ticket numbers, without any solution. We do not have much time and patience to entertain useless calls now.

                                    PARTIAL mail communications are enclosed for reference.

                                    Hi,

                                    Request your immediate and serious intervention…… If this is your customer service all I can say is GOD save Airtel

                                    It pains me to tell you that my fixed line and Broad band services are non functional since past one month now with no response from your side.

                                    I have to bear the pain because despite repeated mails and complaints to your customer care in this regards, nobody from your esteem organization has taken the pain to resolve the issue.

                                    What surprises me is the kind of responses I receive from your end. Some communicate that the issue is resolved as discussed, without any discussion or resolution. The other day a gentleman called me and tells me that there is some issue with society permission and as per Airtel policy I should talk to society and provide the requirements and details to Airtel for resolution.

                                    Do you guys think that I am a big time . Did you ask me to provide permission and all this nonsense while I paid one year advance rental and you gave me this connection? As an end user, how am I suppose to get permissions for you for an old connection that was working since months. Please stop this nonsense as it does not befit a company like Airtel.

                                    I am surprised by the comfort zone in which your staff has been hatching my complains. Somebody please show the responsibility and own this issue.

                                    The trailing mail is only tip of the iceberg. Your account of your pathetic services is as attached herewith for you kind perusal.

                                    This is the final mail from my end to your department. My next mail will be now be addressed your top management and the Consumer Forum.

                                    Hi,

                                    Is this some kind of a Joke?

                                    I havn’t received any call from the undersigned and no engineer has visited me.

                                    Also, the Broadband services as well as the fixed line services are non-functional since the past 15 days.

                                    Please note that I have taken enough of nonsense from your highly irresponsible organization.

                                    Its high time someone owns responsibility towards my grievances. Airtel as an organization should show some character and stops draining my advance rental without providing services.

                                    If my issue isn’t resolved in next 72 hours, I will be compelled to go the CONSUMER FORUM or take appropriate measures to safeguard my money paid towards advance rental.

                                    Best Regards,

                                    Kalpesh Shah

                                    Hi,

                                    Thanks for replying so early…you took only 2 weeks and 2 days just to provide a new ticket and zero solution!!

                                    May we know why you are assigning a new ticket no 11902884 again when the below ticket no 11090826 is not closed? Are your all departments including so called “Appellate”, “Esupport” and “Nodal” equally efficient as your customer care department?

                                    Check all enclosed mails…all are replying to solve this “shortly” since last one month! Please update status to Kalpesh Shah at [protected].

                                    And what is the timeline for shortly means? You are dragging this issue since 20th January 2012, ie more than a month!! Please try to improve your service…there are many operators in the market to provide good service and atleast a better customer care than yours.

                                    Regards,

                                    Hi,



                                    Kindly confirm how long defines your ¿Earliest¿ action.



                                    No action taken and your customer care is just sending a mail stating issue is
                                    solved!!

                                    Please note, the executive has never spoken to the customer and no engineer
                                    visited as well.



                                    You must have recorded the Conversation (With Vikash Prakash of Airtel Customer
                                    Service Team as claimed in the enclosed mail) and there must be a proof of your
                                    claimed engineer¿s visit! Can you please show the same to us? Or you have made
                                    this a common practice of writing nonsense mails?



                                    Also kindly do not waste our time by involving your junior officers to call the
                                    customer and take more time by issuing new ticket numbers.



                                    Regards,



                                    Papiya Dawn

                                    Hi,



                                    The below mail is for your kind attention and immediate action please. May we
                                    know the SLA you are following for providing a solution to a particular
                                    ticket? We have so far raised 4-5 tickets in last 10 days for a single problem,
                                    and all of them are lying unresolved!!



                                    Inspite of paying the entire rental in advance the line has been disconnected
                                    since last 10 days which is creating a very bad image of airtel. Kindly note,
                                    your customer care team is purposely avoiding this issue and not replying since
                                    the full rental is being claimed by the customer. We expct a call to the user
                                    Kalpesh Shah at [protected] with a proper solution.

                                    Airtel — REGARDING ADVANCE RENTAL

NOW I HAVE CHANGE MY PLAN BUT THE ADVANCE RENTAL NOT ADJUSTED BY UR FRANCHIZE .HE TOLD ME THAT UR RENTAL ALREADY HAS BEEN ADJUSTED .BUT WHEN I ASKED HIM TO SHOW ME DETAIL HE SAID THERE IS NO DATA IN THIS CONNECTION. PLZ SOLVE MY PROB. OTHERWISE I HV TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST U IN CONSUMER FORM .


                                    REGARDS
                                    Hi,

                                    Do you copy and paste the above response everywhere? You are having the worst customer service team in Gujarat.

                                    What resolution you have given Mr Rakesh Ranga? The connection activated or the rental refunded?

                                    Do you think we are fool to receive bunch of ticket numbers from you? As per customer care executive, the permission for this connection is not there in the society. Our simple question is, how the rental charged in advance and connection given if not permission is there? How the connection stood active for 5 months without any trouble?

                                    Please reply the above queries and do let us know what you are going to do - activate the connection or refund the balance rental.

                                    Airtel has already proven to have the worst customer care team who responds only on escalation.
                                    Please reply the above queries and do let us know what you are going to do - activate the connection or refund the balance rental.
                                    Same here I am using broadband connection but not able to bourse, connection always fails, now ur technician says modem is the problem, u have to change it, it's better u disconnect the internet connection, pls do the needful
                                    Thank you
                                    [protected] airtel no

                                      I have Airtel Broadband installed at my home with Phone number - [protected]. My problem is that they have upgraded my broadband plan without any prior notice and which have caused me to pay extra 100+rs per month.

                                      My plan was and unlimited plan with speed of 512kb/sec till 10GB and 256kb/sec after that but now they have upgraded it to 2mb/sec for 10GB and 256kb/sec after that. My problem is that i was able to consumer an appreciable speed of 512kb/sec for minimum of 15 days a month but now due to 2mb/sec speed my high speed data limit use to get end within the first week of month.

                                      I have contacted costumer care many times but they are not willing to give any positive response to my problem. Either they have to reinstate my old plan or i want the high data usage to be upgraded to 20gb under my current plan.

                                      Hope airtel will do something about it or i will be hitting consumer court soon.
