Sir/Madam, It is to inform to you that my balance is unnecessery deducted from my account without any information from the service provider.And on enquiry from customer care they didnot gave me any details about the issue & also didnot pay any attention towards the complaint.So, it is my request to go through the situation & take necessary step against the customer care.

Hi Sir,

With respect to my mobile no. [protected], I have been billed Rs.878 extra for the month of July 2009.Since a year I have been using the Airtel mobile services where I am bound to call to international number (for my personal needs) at Rs.9.20 per min to UK mbiles. However, Airtel claims that the charges have been revised since July 2009 to Rs.10 per min to UK Mobiles. I agree there might have been a change of plan, but this news was not intimated to the customer, inspite of being tagged as their platinum customer. For almost a year I have been using ISD facility and till date I have not received any sms alert or even a mail about the change in tariff.I was given a shock over my bill where I was charged Rs.5, 110 for ISD calls where as I should have been charged only Rs. 4, 232.

I have logged a complaint with the customer care in the 1st week of August 2009, since then I have been following up with them for an update yet no progress. I have had conversation right from the customer care executives, the floor managers (Bharath MM, Vishwas M, Mary Antony) and the senior floor manager Nasir Ulla Khan who all promised to have reverted yet no response so far.(Ref no.[protected]
I have also dropped a mail to their nodal office who's the region head, yet no response from their end. I am frustrated and tired and cannot afford to make payment for a bill that I was not supposed to be paying.

Kindly look into this issue and hoping my complaint would be redressed asap.

Regards,

Ancy Thomas

Regeds,
Davinder singh sabarwal.
75.rambail nager near sangam nager
Indore (M.P) .

My number is [protected] inthe name of Rupesh Manwatkar.

In my mobile total bill was showing Rs.929 on 31st of july, customer care called me and asked me to pay Rs769 something, must be after deduction of sms charges which is free . once i told the difference he said then to pay Rs929.

Later for two days bill that is on 02/08/2009 they have shown me the bill of Rs.268 for which I have not called anybody for so long.

Also, my todays bill is showing Rs517, which total amount goes to Rs.929+Rs.517 =1446. The airtel message has come that i have crossed the limit of Rs2000.

Kindly check the details.

I had placed a request for new broadband installation request on toll-free number on 09.08.2009.
On 10.08.2009, Mr. Prakash / Mr. Rajesh - Sales Team, Sahakarnagar Area, Bangalore called up to collect the necessary documents, cheque and the application. I had clearly requested for the Wifi Router to be installed. Both of them had informed to me that the installation would be carried out within 02 days.
On 12.08.2009, the wiring team had completed the wiring works until the designated location. The same day late in the evening at 10:00pm Mr. Manjunath from the Installation team came to install a DSL router instead of the Wifi Router as requested by me; when questioned he informed that the Wifi is not in stock currently and will be available only on 16.08.2009 so the DSL to be installed and when the Wifi Router stock comes the same will be installed. I informed him not to install the DSL Router and requested him to install the Wifi Router on 16.08.2009. The Sales team was aware of the stock non-availibity but didn't inform me to close the sale. Even upon continuous requests daily from me still they have not completed the intallation. What should be done with this now?

Sir,

Reference my earliest Service Request reference number is 955100

My Airtel data card connectivity is notworking properly and the following errors are displayed continiuosly :

(1) EDGE/GSM Airtel range/single is full and Network conectivity is ok but download/upload 0 kb/s browsing is nil.

(2) Error 619: A connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed.

I have bought this modem on 08/08/09 & after working for 2 day it stopped working and i have made an complain which has not been resolved till know.

Due to the above errors and poor service of airtel I would like to discontinue this service and thinking of going to consumer court for its resolution if the same problem is going on.

Please look into the matter at the earliest.

Your's faithfully,
Ashish

I have converted my sim from prepaid to postpaid. At the time of conversion company done it immeiately after a weak my sim has been blocked. When I asked with company they told me due to non verification your sim has blocked. Again they send for reverification and again they are unable to verify.

Due to blocking of sim I have lost my business as well as business oporunity which cost is more than Rs 15 Lacs because same Mobile No I was operating since last 05 year.

My question is
1. Whether company has given me prepaid sim without verification?
2. If I am not available at my address how company is sending threatening letter?
3. I have got another sim which had another No which has been duly verified How it can be possible?

Due to internal lacking of company verification process I had lost my business as well as my business oportunity which cost is Rs 15 Lacs. Moreover Company is trying to threaten me and I am mentally fed up withcompany behaviour.

Kindly look out the matter and try to arrange my comensation amount which I had lost due to business and pshycologically.

Pankaj Shukla

Dear Sirs,

I have been using my Airtel postpaid connection (Delhi) [protected] for the last five-six years. But for the last three months, since April 28, 2009, I am being charged for around 50-60 different Value Added Services, which I never asked to get activated on my account. Neither did I ever download any services from my mobile nor did I ever give my consent to anyone for such useless services to be activated on my number. It's really difficult for me to tell you what kind of mental agony I have been going through for the last three months, deleting more than 100 SMS every day from my inbox. Every month, I have been getting bills of over Rs 2, 500/- out of which around Rs.2, 000/- is being charged for those Value Added Services. I have been complaining via calls and emails to their Customer Services, Technical Support, Nodal Zone, Appellate Dept., Ombudsman for the last three months but to date, I have not received any satisfactory response. I asked for the revised bill but still havent received anything from their department. Now, they have bloced my number as they say it has exceeded the credit limit.

Moreover, they are not giving me details of their headoffices or registered office so that I can go and meet their executives in person to resolve the issue.

Is there anything that I can do against them. Please could someone guide me.

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards

S. S. Sharma

Hi

I am a subscriber of airtel prepaid . From 4 year. Rs 3 is deducted every day from my prepaid account towards THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as VAS. But I have never asked for this service. Where they I was assured there will not be any further deductions. But once again my accounted is debited of Rs.24.The thought for the day message is from 290603. I feel cheated and helpless. Solve my problem MY mobile NO IS [protected].

Regards

Sudhir D. Waghule.

I opened a message, it said "Congratulations on selecting Hello Tunes"!!! - I checked my account balance Rs.45/- was deducted immediately. After much hassle and emails I got the balance restored. Airtel is using low down deception to cheat customers.

June 2009: I started getting messages, I checked my A/c balance, sure my A/c was going down, for every message Rs.3/- was deducted. Sometimes I would get 4 messages in a day.They come at odd hours of the night.
It is just impossible to get to speak to any one at Airtel on 121.
I sent a whole lot of emails about these unsuscribed Value Added Messages, and my A/c balance being depleted. For a long time Airtel would not restore the balance - their Customer Care Executive stated that I go through All VAS services and STOP I did not want!!! . I had a number of "Customer Care Executives" writing to me. Atlast my balance was restored, After every message I had to write to them
to restore the A/c balance. After some length of time the VAS messages stopped.

August 2009: The VAS messages have started coming again!!!
For a few messages I sent an email and the A/c balance was restored. The VAS messages keep
coming in - sent a number of emails asking them to STOP these messages. To No Effect.
Customer Care! Who Cares?
My A/c balance is being depleted.
My emails to Airtel is having no effect. The A/c balance is not being restotred.
What should I do?
Any one know the email id or FAX of Airtel Chairman & MD Mr. Sunil Bharti Mital's Office.
I would like to forward my emails and send a FAX to his office to bring to his attention the low down deception that Airtel is doing to its customers.

i am being charged every week by air tel Rs.20 via SMS from 64611020 for gclub .in. while i am not using that services at all. I request to deactivate that services IMMEDIATELY from my number [protected]

plz deactivate the service of airtel chat friend on my mobile.my number is [protected].
