AirTel — Deducting money without consent

I am Vijay Pal Singh having a mobile no. [protected]. Without my consent Airtel has been activating many offers which i have no use. They are deducting Rs. 15 to 20 from my prepaid account without my knowledge. I have never ever activated any promotional services/offers on my mobile number. This is a open loot and cheating the customers openly. Thats really annoying. When talking to customer care they say that we have activated this service which we have not, and since there is no proof for your justification they keep snatching money out of your pocket. Earlier only Reliance comm. was a CHOR company now Airtel is also one of them. Since there is lot of pain and paper work in complaining to consumer court, no body likes to waste their time there, so, they(Airtel) get the advantages of that.

With NO regards,

Vijay

Airtel — Deducted money without my consent

i got a message from airtel that "thank you for activating astrology services, so we are deducting ... from your account" and my account got deducted by a significant amount of money. I dont know why they did this as i have not activated any such kind of service. and this has happened to me two -three times previously also. i had called customer care and they had said that from next time it would not happen. but everytime it is happeing. thats y i am raising this complain. this is not the way to run the business and make money. u cant fool people by deductong money without their affirmation.
please take some serious action against airtel.

Airtel — deduction of money from prepaid connection without my consent

Sir
Its very shameful for your company that after several time I visited your costomer service center to block any unwanted SMS/not activate any chargeable item such as news/sports/masti/jokes&etc.Concern person block as per my requirement for few days not for life long.My balance amount started deduction automatically without my consent.I am fedup for this system.Kindly consider my case.My phone no.is [protected].Unwanted SMS&telly marketing create a big problem.

Thanks

Airtel — Illegitimate/Wrong Billing

Bharati Airtel Limited Date: February 12, 2009

Kind Attn: Sunil Mittal

Sub: Refusal of Illegitimate and/or wrong bill raised by Airtel

Hi Sunil,

I am addressing this letter directly to you with the assumption that at least a person who is responsible for setting up the giant organization still would have not forgotten the basics of customer services and would be having respect towards every customer and an individual.

I Mr.Sumit Paricharak who unfortunately became customer of Airtel for just two months really had bad time. It started from delay in activating the services and till date despite of discontinuing services through an email to Airtel’s customer service desk saga continues.

Here is the brief background of issue faced by me. In the month of October I took two connections of Airtel from Mr.Pradeep/Manmeet, sales representative of airtel. The connection was taken because the price plane seemed to be relatively good. It mentioned Rentals as 199/- and other tariffs as applicable

While giving the connection as I mentioned there were two sales representatives (SRs) of airtel. I had all other required documents except for photograph. Now the one who got my forms filled asked me that if I will provide photos he can give me the connections on same day before 8:00 PM. trusting on the person I got the instant photographs immediately from nearby Photoshop. Then I called on given mobile but this person informed that as he had some other appointment at Bhaynder and asked to give the photographs to his colleague. Based on the instructions have done the same. Immediately this other SR gave me the two numbers. Believe it from this point trouble started. Some time after I received call from the person If I remember hazily the name of this person was Mr.Manoj and he called him self as team leader of SRs and told me that the Numbers given to me by other SR should not have been given and he then provided me two fresh Nos. This was at around 6:00 PM and he still kept the promise that by 8:00 connection will be activated. At 9:00 PM I checked my mobile but connection was still not active and hence contacted the person immediately he told me that by 11:00 PM same will be activated. I kept following and still connection was not activated on the day promised. At last some where in late evening on the next day it was activated

Well then I started using the number every day out of 24 hours I found that for minimum 6-8 hours the network not available. People were unable to reach me. Call used to get disconnected in between
I even tried calling call centre few times and briefed them on the Network issue but no body understood the issue so there is no question of resolving the same.
Obviously all these thing irate me as a customer and to top it I received two bills in the Month of November, Dt. November 06, 2009, for my two connections with Monthly Charges as 391.58 each. I was shocked as I was promised that the Monthly Rentals would be INR 199/- and then how come I am being billed almost double. This was the penance of trouble that this company could have given to a customer and I clearly found this as cheating with me. I immediately worte on November 28, 2008 to your ‘[protected]@airtelindia.com’ and in this mail I clearly stated the immediate disconnection of both the connections given all above mentioned problems.
Now the reply I received on this was absolutely confusing and which did not address my query. Post this I thought that there is no point in contacting such an irresponsibly organization.
Till this time my connection was not disconnected. I remember in last week of December this connections was disconnected which is quite illogical to understand. I did not pay this bill as there was no satisfactory resolution of problem. Again in the month of December your company which was zero on customer service aspect has promptly billed me. Here the rental was 199 but for the period 05/12/01 to 04/01/01.This just can not be explained the it is height of company’s irresponsibility. Here I also developed a sense that Airtel is trying to dictate the terms may be because of there market position and completely lost the customer service essence.
Here I was not sure to whom to speak. Also as bill amount became outstanding company’s all centre staff, which always does not remain updated with the customer’s earlier interactions, started calling the registered Landline no. I was least bothered about these calls as the company did not bill me properly also did not bother to reply me correctly without ambiguity.

Then company has sent me the two letters dated[protected] Sr_No-8124 and 8127 which mentioned as Legal letter. This letter asked me to pay my dues and also threatened me that if same are not paid the action will be initiated as due process of Law. This letter also mentioned name and numbers of three officials which can be contacted for amicable solution. I thought that some body from these three people would be matured enough to understand customer problem and would take my opinion as feedback to better the customer service for other existing customers. But this assumption of mine also proved wrong when not a single officer bothered to pick my calls. I clearly remember only on the first occasion the gentleman named Ninad picked my call at that time as conversation was breaking to network disturbances he told me to call letter. Post this I tried many times on all the given numbers but no body bothered to picked the call.

Well I as customer is very sensitive and do not like to keep any dues for the services that I avail from any of the service providers unless and until situation warrants. But at the same time I can not pay the false claims of service providers.

Now at this stage I again thought that there is absolutely no point in wasting the time behind irresponsible officers of Airtel and whatever services I utilized will pay it and things will get sorted out. Hence I made payments of these two connections vide two cheques, details of which I am furnishing in annexure below, and also would like to make a mention that post this payment I gave the SMS to all three official Nos giving details of payments with reason for short payments. I also mentioned the hope of not having any trouble in future and if so I will have no choice but to initiate action as per due process of Law.
Now this hope also proved futile when yesterday i.e. on February 11, 2009 I received bills for these two connections which I am no more using and even requested on November 28, 2008 itself to disconnect. With this irresponsible act of your company I really lost my control and immediately called on cell of one of the three officials at night itself who fortunately answered my call. This was heated argument as I was already in bad temper and hence it was obviously not to yield any results. Also I lost faith on all the employees of Airtel and do not want to talk them any more. Hence through this letter which is directly addressed to you I am sending both the bills back to Airtel still hoping this matter stands resolved.

If you also do not agree to this then I can’t stop Airtel from acting non sense and they can keep billing and keep playing but I clearly signal that do not try troubling me else Indian constitution has given me all those wrights which Airtel has and I can very well use them.

Regards

Sumit P. Paricharak

Dear Airtel Customer ServiceTeam,

First of all you need to understand the problem. Don't just blindly go to a response in your knowledge base and paste it without understand the issue. What the heck you can do about the time published by your esteemed organization for issue resolution by nodal office and apellate officer?

There is something seriously wrong with Airtel quality of apps and online services
1. App cannot be downloaded
2. No way to see account balance
3. No sms or OTP coming through on the airtel number
4. No live chat for immediate resolution or escalation
5. No security against hackers

Looks like Airtel will very soon go the Docomo way, hopefully this time a better service provider like Jio buys Airtel

Only thing Airtel still has is plans that Jio provides at almost half the price. Since 2018 I have been wondering what is the point in sticking with Airtel, very furious with Airtel services

Airtel DTH — AIRTEL SUCKS

***AIRTEL SUCKS - AIRTEL DTH customer service & dealers are damaging the brand value - SUNIL MITTAL - HEAR THIS>>>***

Had paid the money to recharge my airtel dth subscription but the dealer ( sunshine enterprises, marathahalli) has not updated the same in the airtel system because of which i have faced 20 days of disconnection.. numerous calls to customer care number and personal visits to the dealer has not helped.


Thanks

airtel sucks

Yes I am Airtel DTH customer in Pune but since last 15 days + there remote is not working nor the TV set I change the batteries twice in between.. But still the signal are weak.. The customer care doesn't bother to answer the call in proper manner. I have sent them emails as well still no answer nor the any person who even promise to drop in.. They spend Crores of rupees on stupid Advt. instead of that they should improve basic services.
I Really don't understand when they charge package fee in advance when such beak down they never talk about any free extension as well.
I am really fed up with AIRTEL DTH service support.. If any one knows any Buy back scheme in Pune please do let me know.

Airtel — Roaming facilities

I have applied for enabling roaming faciliy on my telephone no.[protected] on 09 January-2009 as the user was going to Australia on official visit. after necessary preocessing I was intimated that the facility was enabled. After reaching Australia it was found that the SIM was not working. I called Airtel executive Shri Dharmendra Jha[protected] on 18/1/09 about that and he assured me that It will be rectified soon.

On monday(19/1/09), again Mr Dharmedra and Mr Manish[protected] of Airtel office, assured that there is some problem and it would be rectified soon(made 5-6 calls during the day).

After several attempt somehow (as most of the time his phone is engaged and he never takes pain to call and inform the status))I got to talk to Mr Manish today (20/1/09)and the reply was same that they are still trying to make it work.
Now half of the tour is over and I am still waiting.

As I am not a technical man I do not know the correct terminology tobe used here. But I want to say in simple is that I have a prepaid internet connection which I accessing through bluetooth via my cell phone. I am living in Orissa. Whether I can access internet from other states while on roaming from the same cell phone?
