Hello,
I am from Surat, GJ, IN using Bharti Airtel services for my mobile.
Yesterday, in evening, suddenly the GPRS on cellphone got disconnected. I thought it could for temporary period, but no.
I tried a lot many things: restarted the phone, re-inserted the sim but all in-vain.
I called the customer care helpline (121) for registering the complaint regarding the same. Then I spoke to one of the executives, he kept the line on hold for 5 mins and then at the end asked me to re-insert the sim and then try connecting. I did what they asked for but no luck.
I called back again and luckily got connected to the executive instantly. This is where the interesting part starts.
He asked me to stay online and kept the line on hold so that he could check with the issue. After couple of minutes this is what he said, "The superior division had turned off the services for four hours and that they had not received any confirmation regarding the same."
My friends who lives in other cities have no problems regarding 2G connection, also friends in other areas of the same city, Surat that is, have no problems.
I asked the executive to transfer the call to his superior/manager, he kept the line on hold and then disconnected the call. Well, I thought this could be a regular issue of many other problems (call drop, low network, low speed of gprs, less connectivity, etc...).
But no, I was wrong, why? I called the helpline number again and after choosing the desired menu options, it automatically got the disconnected. They have blocked my number from connecting to the customer care executives. I just woke up and tried calling again but same thing happened.
Can someone help me this issue? I want to take this thing further, may be in consumer court.
And airtel, please have a look at this issue and resolve it ASAP otherwise I am going to consumer court.
Thanks & Regards,
Kaushal Thakkar
