AirTel — Cheated in New Bill

I've bought new nokia 6233 in 15th July 2007, However I inserted my Airtel sim card in Cell, it was asked me to save the settings for Airtel Live!, about which i was aware and saved the settings. After some days i have used Nokia Product Catalog Application which connects to nokia sight in background and as per my knowledge about airtel live it will charge me if i downlad anything from airtel live and no accecss to other site will be available. i was wondered when i got accessess to other free wap site like tagtag.com, geocities.com, etc.
i started access to those sites, after some days when bill got generated, i didn't found any charge for any access to wap sites.
But now for my October's Bill when used this service they have charged me about 2800/- for using Googlesearch. when i asked to customer center they replied me that I have used googlesearch from airtellive wap site. for which browsing and downliding charges are applicable.
I told them that i didn't ever used that wap site from airtel live, it was in my bookmarks which i've made from tagtag.com. and i didn't got any intimation about googlesearch charges prior to the services are allotted. so how could i pay the bill for googlesearch charge. if it could know prior to use then any common man will avoid to use it. because there is option to go for NOP service for which it will charge only 5 Rs. for whole day.
I have requested customer service that please start my outgoing facility which you have barred since 20 days. and explained all the things happened with me. even though they are telling me that I have to pay the bill.
This is really reduculous.
I am making this complaints in hope i'll get the justice of fare.

Thanks & Regards,
Bala Reddy,

Airtel Broadband — airtel broadband cheat

I have taken AIRTEL broadband connection A/C no[protected] PLAN – Rs799 for 256kbps speed. I have paid advance rental for 5 months


Well problem started from the day i have taken the connection. The speed i was promised is 256 kbps, for which i have paid Rs 799 which is exhorbitantly high if compared. I have a speed very less, 8-10kbps/sec, which is worst like a dial up.



I decided to log a complaint and in series now 5 complaints lie with AIRTEL not one of them resolved.In return i am told that problem with my system and I formatted ,compromising my data . No improvement. Then they say I need to download from official sites like Microsoft or so. If they check the speed without downloading from the speed with show definitely higher. But whats the use if i dont download. I have taken broadband connection with unlimited plan to mak use of it. Now I checked with AIRTEL to change the plan to 4MBPS which costs 899RS and I would pay the additional amount. But they refuse. Also, now AIRTEL has introduced plan with 2MBPS speed, which is same rental 799 RS but i am told i cant change the plan.

Why should i suffer with Slow speed, just becuase i paid money in advance.Please intervene and make sure AIRTEL doesnt cheat ppl. I want to change my plan else cancel the connection with my money refunded back.

Airtel Broadband — cheat

hello, my name is chetan i have 4 airtel connections one of the number is 41223380, i requested airtel for a new connection.
they messaged me and updated me that i will get the internet connection in 2 days, but no executives came for the installation. after a week the executives called me and told me to keep the documents ready and they will come and collect it. i was waiting since 5o'clock but the executives made me wait till 10 and then they came. the executives told us to give the documents which i gave them and then asked me to pay the amount of 350rs. i then paid the amount and when i demanded the receipt, they told me that they forgot the receipt and the application form and they will come the next morning to give the receipt and we can fill the application the next day morning. but the executives didn't turned up till date, but when i call customer care they give me a complaint number and tell me that they will get back to me, but i never get any call. when i called the nodal officer he told me that he will get back to me but yet i didn't get any call from him. i just got a call by name daisy from escalation team, she promised me that she will solve all my problems and she will get back to me soon. but its been ten days she called me back. at last i didn't get the connection and lost my money too, the executives took my documents with photograph and are not ready to give me back.
i then called the appelete officer, mr.arvind but he told the same that he will get back to me but then i didn't get any call from his side. i called him again he told me the same thing that he will cross check and get back to me. but still i dont get any call. and when i call the nodal officer of appelete officer they do not respond.
nor the customer care gives any response.
when i mailed the the airtel team they also didn't give me any response.
i am now helpless and no one to help me. now i want a strong reply from airtel about the forgery done and to delay my complaint.
and want a solution for this matter,airtel is loosing its image by fault promises and forgery done in filling the application.
i hope my problem is solved or then i have to approach the court for justice.
i am providing the detail of all the persons involved in this and all the complaint numbers.

Airtel / Broadband — Cheating

I was using Airtel Broadband connection for the past two years without any problem, the connection is in my name VIMAL, phone#[protected]. I was one of the valued customer in most of the Airtel products since I liked their customer service.

Initially I started my broadband plan from 256 kbps in 2009, in the month of February 2010 I changed my plan to 512 Kbps for 899 Rs. In the month of May 2010 I received a letter from Airtel stating they are upgrading my speed to 1 Mbps without any additional charges but this speed will be with limited data transfer of 20 GB per month. So as per their letter they upgraded my speed to 1 Mbps from the month of June and until August their was no problem.

In the first week of September I shifted my home so the Airtel connection was also shifted to my new premises. When they shifted they given 512 kbps as per my plan 899 Rs, but when I called customer service and gave a complaint (Req#[protected]. When I explained the scenario they increased my speed back to 1 Mbps confirming the data transfer limit of 20 GB.

Again in 2010 October first week they reduced my speed to 512 Kbps without any information, so I gave a complaint again (Req#[protected]. One of the customer care person called me and requested me to send the letter which they sent me in the month of May for the speed up-gradation. I sent the letter to their e-mail Id [protected]@airtel.in. After verifying my mail they called me and said this was an offer given only for 3 months now they have retrieved it.

> My question is when they sent a letter they never informed this is only a limited period offer, they mentioned my speed will be increased without any additional charges, no time period was mentioned.
> Second when they are taking back some privileges from the customer without confirmation how come they can take it back.
> Do they think the customers are mad, or we have to shake our heads for what ever they tell or plan.

I need a proper solution for this issue, kindly suggest for a better solution. Airtel has to give me the speed back or have to pay me my charges which I paid to them. For the past two years I never made any default payments, I was so genuine.

Airtel treated me so bad for my honesty. They put on their own faces by making these kind of mistakes.

Hi after posting my complaints here my problem got resolved by Airtel. One of the person named Raghunath from Airtel Bangalore worked perfectly and solved this issue. Finally they gave back the speed as they promised. Happy to continue with Airtel BB, many thanks to their customer service.

Airtel Broadband — Airtel Broadband - A bunch of cheats

We applied for a Airtel broadband connection on 16July11. Within an hour the airtel sales representative was at our door for signing the papers and collecting the 500 bucks (cash) installation charge. Even then we should have been understood their unprofessional ism as they didn't even give us a receipt and on insisting on providing us with some proof, He reluctantly provided us with the copy of the application. The sales person and the point of contact ( Mr. Santosh ) both assured us that the installation would be done within 3 working days. Its now been almost 3 weeks and we have not even received a call from airtel regarding our broadband application. Each time we call up Mr. Santosh to give an eta, he assures us the installation would be done in another 2 days - giving up a gamut of excuses ranging from application was not uploaded as the server was down for more than a week, then the work order was generated without code etc.

On insisting that he refund us the installation money, he started to procrastinate.

If such is the experience with airtel pre installation, i shudder to think what should be post that.

Hi Rakesh,

I mailed my contact details to [protected]@in.airtel.com. Currently awaiting response from your end.

Dear Mr. Rakesh,

Even after mailing the details of the complaint more than two weeks back, i find no response from your/Airtel's part. As such can you please refund the amount of rs. 500 within the week, failing which we will be forced to initiate legal action against Airtel for wrongful and mental harassment. Thank you for wasting a month of our time !! In the future do ask your sales team not to fool people and waste their valuable time. Also in the future please refrain from copy-pasting these messages when you are "unwilling" to "resolve".

Hi,

After so much of trouble i got the disconnection. But i Have 1 more issue.

As i already mention my billing cycle (4th to 4th), i am now in a billing cycle because of your mistake.


So Airtel sent me a new bill (Final bill - bill no:[protected] adding the charges of March 5th to 13th(till the disconnection)

Why so ? As per my 1st request it was cancelled on 27th Feb. and after your mistake it was reactivated and that is the reason i am in the new billing cycle. Then why should i pay for it.


Please send me a rectified bill or else i am not going to pay the final bill at all.

Thanks.
