Sir,
My IDEA net setter no.[protected].I had given a complaint for device for not working properly to AIROLI IDEA shop. They have taken my device on basis of repairing on 5/10/09.I went to shop to get my device but everytime they say me that device they have not received from company.Since last two months many times I go to shop & I get same reply, also when I contact to customer care center they tell me to contact shop only not to care center.My device is with shop & IDEA have sent me two months bill for which I have not used service.I want to disconnect service immediately because Reliance net setter I am using has not given me such trouble.Idea shop in AIROLI ask me to pay full bill before disconnecting service.They at this moment suggest me why I had not given request for 'service stand' at initial.My question is...............
1) If shop people know the option for disconnecting service,why they did not tell me that time?
2) If customer care center & idea shop are not able to solve the problem, why they were asking me to contact each other without providing me other access to complaint,like higher authority number.etc.
3) After giving comlpaints many times,why they have not taken seriously?
4) WHAT A SUCH POOR SERVICE IS PROVIDED BY IDEA GIVING ASSURENCE FOR BEST SERVICE ON T.V.CHANNELS & MEDIA.
5) DOES Mr.ADITYA BIRLA KNOWS ABOUT SUCH 'AFTER SALES SERVICE' TO CUSTOMER?

          Extra Charges

          I submitted a complaint asking to cancel jokes which I didn't subscribe too. Someone from airtel called me and said that it will be deactivated. It still hasn't. I want justice!! My number is [protected]. I have been getting charged for about a month. I keep getting joke messages and getting 1 rupee charged. I will take airtel to court since this problem has been occuring with millions of customers....

          We applied for a new Airtel broadband connection in Mogappair West on 23 rd November. They have sent an executive after a feasibility study that connection is possible and he took all the documents and Rs. 500 promising that the connection will be provided in 3 days.

          We called the executive after four days cause we didn't get any connection. He replied that since we are bachelors we have to pay an extra Rs. 1000. We paid that amount to Mr. Anand ([protected]) after he promised to activate the connection within two days.

          After waiting for three days we called Mr. Anand and every time he would terminate the call saying that he is on a bike or he will call back in 10 minutes, but he never called. So we called the customer support at[protected] and inquired about the status. He told that the capacity is full in that area and it will take atleast one more week to lay a new cable. We are just pissed that all these days we have been cheated by the cheater Airtel company people, and we were putting a lot of efforts and energy just to get a broadband connection. So I just cancelled my connection and waiting for the refund. Never know when it will come.

          Why the heck did they do a feasibility study without checking for the capacity and take the money in advance? I would say never believe what these guys say to you and pay them only when you get the connection. Airtel i[censored] are listening try to be honest with customers. Don't belive that you can cheat all the customers all the time.

          I am never going to use an Airtel product and will flay them in every broadband forum.

          hello Mr.Manoj Kumar Srivastava

          " We are restricted by the absence of your contact details. Please write to us at [protected]@airtel.in with your contact details (address and landline or mobile phone number). "
          how hard is it for you to search for newly applied connections from that particular area with the name given by the person who posted the above message.and yes...you people were too busy to give a reply when they called and you are saying that YOU will get in touch and resolve the problem. what a joke...
          since the consumer no longer wants your service...the best you can do is to refund their money.
          and whats with the bachelors have to pay Rs.1000 extra??get your heads scanned..
          Thank you so much for this information, I was planning to take the connection but now I think that would be one of the most biggest mistakes of my life. If this is the case, then people working in Airtel sucks.
          Dear Airtel,

          You spam every complaint with the same text whatever the complaint is, and you also expect to provide phone numbers, and email addresses on a public board. Why should we believe that you are acting genuinely to an email since you dont respond to our calls personally?
          I have an update. Airtel sent us a cheque for just Rs. 500/- saying that that is what we have paid for connection, but we paid 1500/-. Mr. Cheater Anand ([protected]) kudos for good dirty job on behalf of Airtel.

          Airtel - Broadband — Airtel didnt provided broadband connection even after 2 months

          Hi All,

          I applied for Airtel Broadband connection on Dec-12-2009, never got any connection.

          I stay at KK Nagar, intially they said it is possible to provide connection in that area. So i gave them 500 rs/- as advacne and gave all the proofs and signed the documents.

          Even after 2 months I didnt received any connection, despite of calling them regularly.

          Yesterday only they refunded my connection money, after taking it to the notice of higher official and reason cited was connection is not feasible.

          They would have told the same reason before taking advance and I would have avoided this jargon and headache for long 3 months.

          One request to all, Please enquire with the agent that whether connection is feasible in your residence area, before paying any advance.

          Thanks,
          Irfan
          Saala airtel company madharchod hai. My mobile no. Is 8...051. I donot subscribe to any service but the company does the same for me. I m fed up. My balance is going on deteriorating.

              Hello,

              I am Airtel user since last 2 years. Recently I started using Airtel Live after I received the promotional call + SMS from airtel telling me that this services is free. For few months it worked fine my bill around 500 / - . since last month I started getting bills 1200 / - when I called the customer care they told me Airtel Live services has become paid .how can any service become paid with out intimating about.





              I have logged many complaints to airtel. Customer care call guys call and just tell we can’t do anything in this.



              I have logged 3 complaints + 1 email to Mumbai head office but no one is listening to my view.


              My point is “I WILL NOT PAY FOR THE SERVICE CHAGRES WHICH ARE CHANGED WITH ABOUT INFORMING ME”
              i tried hell to deactivate airtel live it havent got deactivated i do not have settings still they are deducting money like hell they are theives and iam going to change my connection
              I am airtel life time user.On 11th of feb 08 i received SMS from airtel that use 5 minutes of STD call and your all STD calls upto feb 29 will be 1rupee.I made 5 minutes of STD but call rate hasn't changed.I send an SMS to 121 since they blocked my customer care service,reply was this offer is appicable for life time customer.
              i am getting an awful response from airtel. they have activated some services from airtel live on their own and i keep on losing money. without my registering, i started getting jokes from airtel. also, they have themselves put a hello tune to my number for 1 year which i never asked for and deducted 200 rs . i have lost more than 500rs. they tell me to call 121 to deactivate airtel live but that is not working. i am highly pissed by their clumsy handling.

              my mobile no.is[protected], in this AIRTEL SERVICE WILL BE ACTIVATED AUTOMATICALLY . I EANT TO DEACTIVATE AIRTEL LIVE SERVICE
              I am currently using Airtel mobile ([protected]). I have subscribed for joke subscription using Airtel live option. So the cost for the same is Rs.7 per week. But i am not getting any joke alerts what so ever after subscription. But Rs.7 is being deducted every week. I have repeatedly called the customer care for unsubscribing the joke subscription but I never get any response from the customer care.
              I had similar problem with Airtel. In January 2008, I requested them to activate the GPRS facility to surf the net. I was not satisfied with the speed, so I got broadband connection at home and One week after activation of GPRS I sent them request to deactivate the GPRS facility. I got SMS that the service has been deactivated.

              I was not receiving the physical bills due to some problems, so I was keep on paying the bills as they asked, by assuming there is nothing fake. In the month of March 2008, I noticed that I did not use my phone too much but the bill amount was too high, Then I logged into there website and noticed that they were still charging me 499 per month for GPRS.

              I called them lot of times sent emails to their nodal officers too, but there customer care agents were dropping the calls after listening to my problem and there was no response from nodal officers. Finally in the month of June-July 2008, I became too harsh with them. After the fight with them, my billing was stopped. From Feb to June, I paid 2500 + taxes to them for the service which I never used. Anyway, I received some money back from them, but I did not verified whether I got full or partial. Atleast they stopped charging me further.

              My suggestion, don't activate GPRS facility.

              KIND ATTN: THE CUSTOMER CARE OFFICER

              SUB: UNAUTHORISED DEDUCTION OF CREDIT AMOUNT- complaint

              I have been using the above mentioned Airtel Prepaid Phone service for the past ------years/months.

              On 31.07.2008 and 02.08.2008 I received some unsolicited SMS from Airtel Live stating that if interested I can download the stipulated messages for which cost will be deducted from my account. After reading the messages I deleted them as I was not interested.

              To my shock and surprise I found that Rs.50/(Rupees Fifty only) & Rs.99/-(Rupees Ninety nine only) were deducted on the above mentioned two dates even without downloading the messages. In this regard, when I contacted the Customer Care Office at Palayamkottai, they also had confirmed after verifying with their records that there was no downloading of the said messages’s contents, but they cannot help me out in giving credit of the unauthorized deduction and they advised me to approach the head office. Hence this letter.

              Please note that I have read the incoming message only and not downloaded anything as given in the messages. Please ensure that I am given credit of 149/-(Rupees One hundred and forty nine only) unauthorized deduction from my account for no fault of mine.

              If I am not given credit of the same, I will be constrained to approach appropriate authorities to sort out the issue.

              Please revert.

              Thank you.
              please activate my airtel live service.

              A word of common sense and lack of information prevails in the GPRS unit. If i haven't subscribed the yahoo zone service, then why are INR 10/- being deducted from my main balance every week? i have proof of the messages stored that i receive every week detailing about my subscription and deduction of INR 10/- for the week from the month i subscribed the yahoo zone service.

              I am fed up of calling Airtel gprs unit and customer care for the complains. THEY have barred my no. on their system and so i cannot contact or complain them any further.

              is there anyone who can help me? if, then, Please help me for the same.

                Dear Sir,

                My Airtel number is [protected], I have taken this new number along with the blacberry mode 8520 just for the use of blackberry under the plan 299 monthly, The prepaid balance during the last month went below 300 and after that my blackberry service has not been activated back.
                I have made regular complaints to Airtel and they always play the blame game and blame it to the blacberry services in India. Airtel is asking me to switch over to post paid, with the normal offers wherein the monthly expenses goes more than 500 per month. Why should we switch to the postpaid and pay more for no fault of ours. Its Airtels fault of not been able to provide the service and they should compensate the same.
                Hope this complain tightens the screws of the top management in Airtel and solve our problem.

                Airtel — Airtel is a bloody thief

                I use Airtel Broadband connection since an year now with bill plan 599/-.
                My usage varies from zero to low.

                My bill every month comes out at Rs. 723(599 + taxes)

                This month they have sent me a bill of an outrageous amount of Rs 3645. I have rarely used my connection.

                On calling customer care, they say they will check with their technical details and that it must have been my usage which is ridiculous.

                Airtel is robbing people off their money and generating revenues by fraudulent activities.

                Airtel Prepaid — Beware of Airtel, if no options then only fo for Airtel

                I had taken Airtel Postpaid connection in Aug 08 and because of all the network problems I decide to shift to Prepaid. Had submitted the forms on 4th of June 09. I was told that by 6th June 09 number would be functional. Its 16th of June 09 and still no proceedings.

                I have tried calling 121 with no solutions. I had logged a complaint No is [protected] – to some one named Sujata (Escalation Exec). This complaint had SLA of 9 hours after which it was closed with out a solution given to me. I came to know after wards that I was given a solution from them to Visit ARC – Fort (Mumbai). Well is it a solution I doubt.

                The nodal officers numbers given on website are of no use as no one picks the call or the number is too busy to be answered. The email id given when I had mailed at that I got an error Disk Quota Exceeded for this Inbox.

                Also Below are the emails written to [protected]@airtelindia.com and their replies. The two reference nos.[protected] and [protected] haven’t been reverted yet for over a week and it’s written to be reverted with in 24 hours? Now that’s the service given by Airtel.

                Airtel India — Delay in deactivating Black berry Service

                I am so frustrated with Airtel customer service. I have moved to Gurgaon from bangalore. I have made repeated requests to Airtel for deactivation of my blackberry service plan from my bangalore no. [protected]. First request made by me was on August 26th. 22 DAYs over and i still continue to get msgs from them that they are working on my request and i continue to pay for the service which i am not using.
                I have taken new Airtel connection at Gurgaon with Blackberry service hence i dont need bangalore service.
                I dont understand why it should take them so long to deactivate a service.
                Hi,

                On 22 Sep 09 i received a message saying the you have been charged Rs 30 for the matrimonial services, where as i have not subscribed the service at all.
                My balance has been debited Rs 30.
                This is happening for the 4th time this month.
                please look in to it and help me out.

                Regards,
                Rohan.
                Hi !

                I am totally in consent with Ali.

                Even i bought a BB curve 8520 5 days back to use BB services. The airtel guy said that your internet services are way better than other providers. I chose the prepaid plan as I have not much of outgoing expenses.

                Now its already 5 days and my services are still not active and when I go to the airtel offices they say you should have taken postpaid plans as prepaid plans are not working properly. I switched over to airtel from idea just because i've heard ur services are better.

                I actually should be reverted back with my money I've recharged my sim with + the 299 (already deducted for BB activation and still not active.)

                I feel cheated.

                Moreover, there is no synchronisation between city offices as everybody have their own style of discouragement and reasoning.

                I although do not expect any actions from your side, but still I spared my precious time to write this hoping
                it will be taken care of.

                My no. is [protected]
                Luv Maheshwari
                20 days back i have activated blackberry email service on my blackerry 8520.My blackberry is airtel locked original phone bought from the mobile store in Hyderabad 3 months back. I selected Rs. 299 unlimited email plan and after selecting the plan instantly Rs. 299 was deducted from my prepaid account. When i called up the call centre for activation they told it will take 24 hours to activate and it will activate automatically. The next day the mail service did not work and I called up the call centre again. They asked me a to do a procedure for registration of handsetand I did that procedure on my handset Still my blackberry emails did not work. They said they will escalate the matter to the higher authority on a priority basis.

                Everytime when I call up customer care people say they have issues with the prepaid server or handset is not getting registered.

                This week when I called up the call centre and asked again they said that my blackberry is not getting registered with them due to technical problems that is the reason I was not able to receive any mails on my blackberry.

                I am fed up with calling call centres everytime. Deducting amount and not providing the service is cheating. Airtel is making money on the cost of customers.
                I bought a BlackBerry curve 8900 last month nd was using Idea initially but as Airtel offers BB services in prepaid also I switched over to Airtel prepaid nd from last 1 week I've registered for the BB service plan of 299 but cant access the personal mails nd not even the BlackBerry messenger...Now, even the customer care people arent connecting me to the executive...Airtel really cheats alot...for them money is more than the customer's satisfaction...
                I totally agree with these people and these are the same reply which they give every time.. i bought my new airtel prepaid on 29th Jan, i applied for my blackberry Rs.299 plan on the same day itself, first i had issues with the plan selection, i was not able to select the plan, when i called them they blamed me for not doing it properly. After tht i selected the plan with the same way then they deducted my balance immediately that is 30th, since then i am waiting for my services to get activated. and every time i call the service centre thay make me do those stupid steps of taking the sim out n restarting(which doesnt solve the problem coz, the services arent started from them ) and then finalyy they come up with a promotional offer to migrate to a postpaid connection. They always tell me to wait for 48hrs and then my problem will be solved..

                PS: the blackberry customer service number is not toll free and they always place my call on hold for minutes(atleast 5 mins)

                Please do something about this money making gimmick!!

                It is True AirTel is Cheating its Prepaid Blackberry Customers. I want to say to all the mobile operators.

                First Respect the Prepaid Customers, We are the people who pay you in advance and use the service and not like the post paid guys who will delay the payments or run away with huge dues.

                We are Privileged and Give us a proper respect.

                Mainly to the AirTel 121 Department. U lame ducks ! Treat us properly. I waiting for a Mobile Number Portability to move away from this gooses.
                I have the smiliar problem. I got 8900 and choose plan of Rs899.The amount got dedcuted and service not at all active. Each time i call they tell me remove battery and re-insert it. The technical agents on the call center are not at all trained. They cannot even tell you why the problem is happening. And each time to register the complain they ask for IMEI & PIN Numbers. I treat them i will go to consumer forum and complain but still no use. I am just copy pasting the email in which i complaint them. AIRTEL IS A CHEAT. I AM NEVER GOING TO USE THEM AND ADVICE ALL NOT TO USE AT ALL.

                Hi,

                My number is [protected] PREPAID account.

                The problem is my Rs899 balance is dedicted but blackberry service is yet not activted.
                I have called the call center more then 5 times each time i am told to remove battery and restart phone but sill this service is not activated..

                If you cannot provide me the service then why did you dedected my balance. This is a clear case of cheating, you take money and do not give service.
                Either refund me Rupees 899 or start the service.
                I am really unhappy with the service and never expected this kind o[censored]nethical and unprofessional behaviour from Airtel. I am seriously going to recommed people not to use your services.

                IF YOU DO NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM IN 24HRS I WILL SEND COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO CONSUMER FORUM AND LAUNCH A COMPLAIN AGAINST AIRTEL FOR NOT PROVIDING SERVICES AS ADVERTISED, CHEATING, AND FRAUD.

                I send my mail to bb.[protected]@airtel.in and also calling 7070 atleast 3 times a day. Every time, I get to know, it will take some time. It's already 5 days gone.

                My money gets deducted on very first day. I am very upset...This is a clear cheat and nothing else.

                I am searching for higher authority contacts also, and will contact them too. If needed, will go to consumer court too.

                Airtel — Airtel prepaid blackberry not working

                I am a prepaid airtel customer [protected] and i have applied for prepaid monthly blackberry plan 299 since december. In month of Feb, for reasons best known to airtel (they claim it is insufficient balance) my connection was cut off on feb 21 and since then i have been harassed by airtel customer service executives putting me on hold for long time and giving evasive replies, rude personnel at airtel customer service centers (lower parel mumbai) and simply no solution to matter even though complaints are made to nodal officer, apellate etc. I have now written to DoT wiht complaint. It is 10 days now and still there is no solution, instead rude people at customer service are forcing me to shift to postpaid because of which my billing will increase substantially. I dont want to go to postpaid. I prefer prepaid and when i say this they treat me like im a beggar and shoo me away. There is simply no responsible reply frmo airtel executives and i am now even going to lodge complaint with consumer redressal forum.
                What is worse is that while it is clear that it is a widespread problem at their end, they are going on and on asking me inane questions such as "where did you notice the problem" (their own executives are confirming that it is a pan - india problem) and "did you check your handset" (their own executives confirm that it is a problem at their end) and "did you check your sim in another handset, etc.

                Rubbish... its just a ruse to buy time. other than that they have no intentino of clearing the problem. I have written to consumer redressal forum and DoT, let us see what happens. I am also trying to find someone with contacts in DoT, if there is anyone pls let me know.

                Airtel Blackberry — high default in services

                I wanted to take Rs. 899 internet plan for my Blackberry phone. As soon as I send the sms for the activation of this plan my money got deducted from my balance .I send the sms for activation of internet plan on 19 february 2010 and today is 14 march 2010 and til this date my internet plan has not started . I called Customer care about 10 times and each time they say that my service will start within a day but now around 25 days had past and my service has not started yet and I am highly disappointed by this.Please do something as I can lastly rely on you.

                This is wrong, am a foreigner i can't even hook up my blackberry in India...its so sad to know a network provider like airtel would be so lame in taking care of customers...HOW LONG CAN A SERVER BE DOWN!!! FOR MONTHS OR YEARS???!!!
                whenevr i send PMP 9000 to 121

                i get replied bck with this sms - you request for PMP has been registered with us. Thank you
                and den i get another sms saying - your request for activation of RS 299 monthly plan cannot be processed at this time. please try again after sometime.

                i have been trying to activate it from lat 15 days and still it says please try after sometime.
                i don't really understand what does sometimes mean for Airtel. does your sometime mean 30 days or or one year?

                i'm fed of calling blackberry customer care no. and they always say dis is happening due to server problem.
                if its all happening due to server problem why don't you get your server renewed?
                hope that is not customers problem. we are not owning such big companies. we are just simple people wanting to use a good service which you people are not able to provide.

                My cell number is [protected]. I am being charged for a service which I never opted and Airtel is deducting money from my prepaid amount which has not been authorised by me and I think it is going on for a long time and I have noticed it now.I receive many unwanted messages and I think many messages are for subscription to many palns/additional services and airtel starts deducting from one's prepaid account without getting authorisation.The matter needs to be looked into and money deducted unauthorisedly to be refunded to my account

Please I need help from your side for connection my Blackberry Curve 8520 with the internet services pf Airtel.

                Airtel is a good and big brand name so please don't spoil your brand with bad services.Give me back-end and technical support as soon as possible and I am waiting for your valuable revert back.

                I am agree with all the comments by airtel prepaid customers.
                I too purchased a new AirTel prepaid connection and contacted airtel customer care many time to activate BIS on my no. But even after a week there is no response from Airtel NO resolution for my problem.
                I bought Airtel thinking that thier services are costly but they provides better services.
                Now my understanding is that their services are not even upto those who are providing services much more cheaper than Airtel.
                I talked to senior nodel officer but again NO resolution.
                My no is [protected].

                I request all NOT to go with Airtel thinking that their services are costly but better.
                mistakenly I selected Neutral in my previous comment.
                I agree on this complaint

                I bought a 9780 and purchased solely for activating Blackberry internet services. When i call the 121 helpline they say to call 7070 which in turn says this facility is not available on my number. I sms airtelbb to 121, choose my plan and then send WBIS 9780 they say "we are unable to process your request".
                My number : [protected]
                You are right Airtel is playing game with prepaid user. If they don't provide good service to prepaid user than what they will provide good service to postpaid user. I want to activate internet on my BB curve 8520 they were just fooling me when i called Customer Care on 7070 for BB users that call went to Postpaid Dept. From Postpaid Dept the guy transfer the call to Prepaid Dept at that Dept the guy is telling me we don't have rights for BB Users and gave me another number telling that this is BB Support Number [protected] this number is not for BB support it is of some Airtel Customer. I am not happy with airtel sevices i will complaint to TRAI regarding this issue.

                AIRTEL / BLACKBERRY PLAN — BB PLAN NOT ACTIVATED BY AIRTEL .BUT Rs 399 deducted

                I wanted to subscribe a AIR TEL - Black Berry internet package of Rupees 399 per month - PLAN - for my mobile phone Number [protected] (an existing prepaid connection).
                On[protected] a message to AIR TEL customer care No.121 was sent to activate the Rs 399 blackberry internet plan.The amount got instantly deducted.
                But , Until this day we are only getting assurances from the AIR TEL customer care executives including Ms PAYAL , Ms AMRITHA & many others.
                Very sad to say that until this day[protected], this black Berry internet plan has not been activated by AIR Tel. The amount of Rs 399 stands deducted.
                Normally this takes only 24 hours to activate a plan of this kind.
                Request you to kindly take this up with AIR TEL , BANGALORE.
                I was using IDEA Blackberry Service which was activated on the Spot. But somehow Airtel Marketing People convince me to buy Airtel Service. I purchased one New SIM. My no is [protected].

                Now even after 24hrs It has not been activated. Sending SMS to 121 is of no use. complaining to 198 is of no use. there toll free no. 7070 is of no use. 198 people are not ready to listen as it is toll free service same with 7070 people. All they want is to dial 121 so that they can charge us, the harassed customer, once more.

                Even after making complaint to 121 / 7070 / 198 there is no solution. If Airtel, Oldest Cell Company, is not technical competent enough to provide Blackberry Services they should not accept it in first place.

                If other Service Provider can Provide BB services instantly why Airtel is harassing customer.

                From this platform I would like to say to Airtel People that this type of attitude will not be tolerated.

                I hope if someone from Airtel is Listening / Reading this they should act fast.

                I hope that my Problem will resolve soon.
                I have had a nightmare as I ported my number to you as I was told that your service and network is good. While I agree that your network is good but I must say I have had terrible customer service from your customer care advisors. I select language English on IVR I get connected to an advisor who refuses to speak in English and asks me to speak in Hindi only.
                I am trying to activate BIS on my blackberry curve 9300 but am unable to do so. Your advisors give me different information.
                I was told to send airtelbb to 121 and I got a plan list
                I was told to select the plan and send to 121 so I selected BB4 and sent to 121 but did not get a response. So far I have sent so many sms but no reply. Finally I got a response to send BIS model number to 121 and once I did that I get We are unable to process your request. If you are a new Prepaid customer please try again after 24 hours. Postpaid customers can call 121 for activation.

                I called 3 times to your customer care and the advisors are asking me to call 7070 and when I call that number it gives me a response that I am not registered and hence not authorized to call that number so please call 121.
                I spoke to Mansia one of your advisors this morning who was rude and said he can’t help me so I asked for supervisor but he refused to give me a supervisor. He too was telling me to call 7070 and I tried explaining that I tried calling that number and I told him what response I am getting but he was not willing to listen and said that this is the number we give customer’s, I can’t help you any further.

                Where do I go from here? I came to Airtel due to poor Network and Service from BPL and I think I have made a mistake. Please revert back failing to which I will have to port out my number from you as I can’t accept a regular service on a Blackberry.

                Blackberry — Screen saver not working

                My Blackberry-9300 bears product number [protected] has been purchased from Reliance at Shipra Mall, Indirapuram on 05/07/2011.Yesterday, I noted that its screen saver was not working. It was lying in my pocket all throughout and therefore there was no question of any external damage to the instrument. However, to my shock and disbelief, my office boy had been told by the representatives at the Noida service Center that the instrument was physically damaged by some external act and therefore it is not covered by the warranty. All senior officers of my company (FUJITSU) have been using blackberry services and we have been very satisfied it so far. Yesterday's response was however very disappointing. Please take care of it at the earliest.

This is so disgusting services blackberry had. their is no support for customer.

                Blackberry — BLACKBERRY 8520 NOT WORTH

                I have purchased blackberry handset 8520 white color from Vijay sales Goregaon (West) on[protected].This particular handset is in warranty period of 18 month.
                As your company product has not perform well and giving problem in period of 1 year only. As I was facing lot of trouble to reach your service center located near my residence, because of timing of reporting issue to service center is from 10.30 to 6.30 which get clash to my office timing. As this all service center should open on Sunday so can customer reach there on weekend off. After I drop my office for one day and submit my handset to blackberry center to get issue resolve earliest .As they have found some software issue first and started my handset updated and make me wait there for 30 min all most. After that updating also same issue occurred in front of them so they have inform me that this must be hardware issue so you need to submit your handset for 10 working days. And we will call you once it will get resolve. As I have submit my handset on 7th may 2012 after that I was trying to call at service center repeatedly but as number mention on customer unit receipt is switch off and engaged and email-id is getting bounce. So again I have to visit there personally and I try to collect information about my handset, they have informed me that we will call you on the same. As on 16th may I received call from service center that your handset will get repair but for that you need to pay us 7200Rs which is I hope not the current market value of this handset correct me if I am wrong.
                So I am completely harassed with this problem occurred with my handset and all this trouble face to get it resolve. And lastly I mantel y disturbed so much after I come to know that I have to pay Rs7200 to get this issue resolve. As it has been just 1 year of purchasing this handset worth Rs9790.
                Due to handset is tampered it will not cover in warrenty as i recived tis responce.But still i dont understand how can such big brand handset hardwear get failed in year of period.
                I have recharged my blackberry 9530 storm with the 100 rs weekly Internet pack. 1 day ago.

                rs100 has been deducted from my main balance and it also says that 100 rs Internet has been started on your device...

                whenever i try to open the browser it says your device does not have any browser configuration service book entries.

                i have contacted 7070 but they never answer the call only answering machine.
                please help, i too feel as if i have been cheated.

                my phone number is [protected]
                I have the same problem. I activated Rs129 BB plan. I got the confirmation message, however, my plan was never activated and I kept calling their customer services to either refund the amount or activate the service. But, nothing was done and definitely their customer service is the most useless customer service i have ever seen.. After 5-7 days of continuous trauma their customer service gave me they tell me that your balance was not deducted so we cant refund anything, proving me to be a liar. Later, I again tried to activate the service today (11/29/12), again the balance was deducted and guess what again the service was not activated and their dumbass customer service reps tell me that again "we have forwarded your request" kindly wait for 24 hours...so which again proves that they are good for nothing. Airtel is ripping off its customers they are bloody THIEVES!!! I am going to lodge a formal complaint against Airtel in TRAI and Consumer court. AIRTEL owes me compensation!!!

                      I am facing the same problem. Every 10 days, I get a message saying "Thank you for subscribing to the music pack. Rs 10 have been deducted" whereas I have never subscribed for any music pack. I do not understand how Airtel can deduct money from my account without my approval. I am highly disappointed.

                        I had not activated Audio movie and Rs. 30 was deducted from my account and when i called the cutomer care he told me that on 18 of nov 10:30 i had activated by dialing *321609# this is not a justification i normaly use maximum my phone for incoming. I want my money back i think the Airtel is doing some cheating.

                          Subject: Non-provision of airtel broadband connection

                          I had applied for a new airtel broadband connection (under the scheme for already existing postpaid airtel customers) (on 14/11/2009 and again on 26/11/2009) under the name of Dr. Nikhil Tiwari (address: 90/84 B, 3rd Floor, Malviya Nagar, New Delhi).

                          It was only after lodging my first complaint (no[protected], that an executive (Khemraj: mobile no.-[protected]) came, filled up a form (form no.[protected] and collected my documents and cheque of Rs.1000 on 14th November 2009 and said the connection will be set up in the next 3 days. Even after lodging complaint with the customer care number (no.[protected], he did not contact me for the next 7 days and did not attend my calls on his mobile. I contacted him on his office phone number, when he said balantly it was not possible to provide connection and I should get my cheque cancelled from my bank. When I confrnted him and asked him to give back my cheque, he said this was their company policy!!!! the behaviour of this person was very rude and unruly.

                          Cancellation of cheque (number-569105) has cost me Rs.110.

                          Two days later another executive turned up and filled up a new form (no. 1986499) , took documents and a cheque of Rs.1000 (no.- 555999) on 26th November 2009 with assurance that connection would be installed in next 3 days. Again after 3 days, I called up inquire when He told me it was not possible to provide broadband connection. the cheque has as of now not been returned.

                          I was harrased for about 15 days, wherein I had to repeatedly call the concerned executives, this led to loss of my money, I was misinformed by the executives of your company. Even compalints at the customer care did not help, with people at call center saying they can't trace my records through compalint numbers and calls were put on hold for as long as 10 minutes and sometimes even disconnected.

                          This kind of service is not expected from airtel and in no way can be tolerated.
                          I want the company:
                          1. to refund my amount that I had to bear to get the cheque cancelled (Rs.110)
                          2. give me reasons for not being eligible for airtel broadband connection
                          3. to take strict action against such company representatives whio misinform and harras customers

                          I can furnish any more details regarding the above compalint if required along with copies of the forms I filled up to apply for connections and receipts of cheque payments made by me..

                          Airtel Broadband — New connection not been set up. 15 Days

                          Hi,
                          My Customer enrollment form number is TBLR275769. I have been to airtel office present near domlur bridge in bangalore, but there is no response from their side.
                          I applied for a broadband connection on 2nd September, and the guy came to collect the proof and completed the other papers work on 3rd of September. At that time, he promised that it might take 4-5 days for installation, but he will try his level best to make it as soon as possible.
                          Its been almost 15 days now, and there is not even a single intimation from airtel about the connection. The guy who came for enrollment is not picking up the call since then.
                          The name of the guy was Syed Lusuffali and his contact number(as on form)is: [protected].
                          On 14th of September, i called customer care, and after an argument the representative provide me with some sort of reference/complaint number:[protected] and promised the complaint will be "RESOLVED" within 24 hours.

                          Today in the evening i called customer care again, and the representative told me, that this enrollment form is updated yesterday, though there is no information regarding the complaint being made.
                          The number[protected] doesn't seem correct, and there is no such record for this number.
                          The reason updated is technical problem in the system..
                          After 15 days, there is no intimation from airtel, and just a day ago, its been technical difficulties. Today when i called, my call was escalated and the guy told me that it might take another 10 days.

                          If this is the case, the person who came to collect the documents etc should have informed.
                          And if its going to take 10 more days, I would request to refund the installation amount and 1 month advance rent(The guy took from us at the time of enrollment)

                          Thanks and Regards,
                          Gurupreet Singh Bhamra

                            I am using Airtel post-paid connection since last 4 years and there had been always an issue with the network and now they have crossed their limits.

                            As my working areas are in city limits and their entire network do not work in high profile areas like Sharanpur Road, College Road, Gangapur Road, Panchwati and many more.

                            Where should we go and take this problem and how can be shorted out.

                            This is a gentle request to Mr.Sunil Mittal to look into the matter as early as possible.

                              Dear Sir,
                              Today i got a message 5432161 saying that i had been subscribed for Friendz chat and will be charged Rs.10/-
                              But i had not actually subscribed to it.
                              I Had immediately called to the costumer care and a girl who answered the call named Aruna Kauluru (got it from feedback sms) said dat i had activated the same through airtel live ..
                              And the fact is that the last time i had successfully connected to airtel live is on 22/11 and that too used for browsing google maps and i had not even entered the airtel live portal.
                              However i had tried to connect to it yesterday i.e on 3/12 the connection dint established so no chance of activating the same.(0kb received byts of data and sent is 4kb)
                              Ur customer care executive was not in a position to her me coolly and is talking very exited, i wonder what made her so, I think the job of costumer care executive is to here the costumer first..Am i wrong ???
                              She said in a way that i had purposefully activated the service and trying to get the balance back so they are not going to refund the balance and is in no position to understand my version.what she had done is deactivating the service only after deducting the balance.
                              See the balance is mere Rs.10/- dats not a real problem if you cant give it back, but the fact is, being the costumer since abt past 9 years is this the way of interacting with me ?
                              Right now if you require iam ready to bring my mobile to ur relation ship center.
                              you can analyze the log files from my mobile yourself and confirm that i had not used airtel live in recent times.
                              Also i saw many complaints online on the same issue (airtel friendz)
                              like this one :-
                              http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/airtel-prepaid-c284019.html
                              May be its not a manual fault of yours but the system or software may commit it due to an error na..
                              why dont you check the same instead of blaming us?
                              Now my balance went into negative. not in a position to call costumer care or even reply to the feed back sms.
                              In the past 9 years i think this is the only first problem for me wid Airtel which i had considered Seriously and the costumer care response is really bad.
                              I request you to remit my balance and please take care not to repeat these kind of issues in future.
                              Regards,

                              thanks for responding early on the online complaint .
                              problem solved :) :)
                              dear ser, i got a message in my mobile from[protected].i want to know who sent it from which place
                              Airtel is truly becoming a thief.

                              On 26 Dec I received a message stating Airtel Friends chat is activated on my number. Rs 30/month is also charged from my balance.

                              It also stated that to cancel subscription call 543216. I called this number (which is not toll free. you are charged for calling on this number.) but was unable to find how to unsubscribe.

                              Then I called 121 and the customer care told me that I subscribed to this service by calling 543216. That did not understand that I called 543216 in because I wanted to unsubscribe as the servvice was activated without my request.

                              Also they are unwilling to return my Rs 30.

                              I hope TRAI takes notice of such malpractices of Airtel. What a thief company.
                              Who is this[protected] who send sms on airtel user. Yar us ka number to nhai likh skata per sale itna yad rkhle ager tu jaan gyea hoga ki tu kiss number pe sms kerta hai to sale aab us number pe sms ker na codh de nhai to me teri...

                                dear sir,
                                these is second time that am facing a problm ,such that the airtel is deductng anorthorise money without any resons, if i call customer care then , they solve the problm by saying " SIR U HAVE BEEN SUBSCRIBE ****SERVICE ON DATE **/**.. " & put the call down, we have knowled that, to activat any service,subscribtin, we wnt 2 dial smthng or by sendng msg to actvt it,but airtel is doing fraud with customer, such things r indicated that the airtel is not able to compite with another leading networks, so that airtel collecting business (money) through these way.... WHAT AN IDEA SIR JI..... LAGE RAHO AIRTEL....
                                plz india take some action on it , nt bcz its matter of mine, but this types of problms r pushing india back, and being reason for hike prices & like that........plz think on it
                                Yes. I do agree. I have also faced this problem 3-4 times. When I called Airtel Customer care they told me that you have received the sms for this service and it is specified that "to unsubscribe send sms to some number". I did not understand why Airtel has taken such kind of decision to deduct the money from customer account without knowing the customer. When I tried to speak with the CC to get balance back they simply refused. I have never expected such kind of fraud from one of the top position company in this world.
                                Someone has to take action.

                                  The advertisement given by Airtel and explained by the distributors (from whom we recharge the coupons of various schemes of different sevice providers) about the Freedom Plan 64 is - charge for local calls is 1 paise per minute and for STD calls 1.2 paise per minute. The conditions of this plan is not clearly spelt out either by the service provider or their distributors ( that this is applicable for calls between airtel numbers only). Yesterday after discussing with the distributor at Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, I opted for the freedom plan 64. But when I made a call to an Aircel mobile yesterday evening, the duration of the call was 1 min 46 sec (106 pulse or it should have been only Rs.1.06), but they have deducted an amount of Rs.1.28 from my balance (I have an Airtel pre-paid connection). When contacted their customer care, I was told that 1 paise for local calls is applicable for calls made to another airtel number only and for others it would be 1.2 paise per call, and accordingly they have deducted the charge from my balance. Earlier I had a rate cutter scheme whereby I was able to make local calls to any other mobile phones @ 50 paise per minute. If I were continuing in this scheme, the above call would have cost me only Rs.1.00. I, therefore, feel it is unfair on the part of Airtel to misguide customers like me, as we have to pay more than what we thing before going in for this new plan. I need a favourable reply/action.

                                    I am from Nasik. Since the day, the Municipal Corporation has disconnected the power supply of the towers belonging to Airtel and some other service providers, network has been adversely affected. This is causing connection problems and thereby, loss of connectivity. One wonders whether Airtel officials have approached the Municipal Corporation regarding this issue ? ? ? If not, I would strongly urge 'those' officials to STOP warming their chairs and take appropriate action. C'mon people, get ur xxxxx moving ...

                                      Dear Sir,

                                      This is to inform you, that I have requested Airtel customer care to disconnect my above airtel number [protected] on request number 22351205/22351221 on 22nd of Aug 2009 with the reason to relocating to Navi Mumbai. As per our telephonic conversation with customer care executive I was assured that my number will be disconnected with immediate effect by your customer care representative.

                                      In the meantime 9th of Sept 09 I recieved email from your concerned department confirming that my number has been disconnected(Trailing Email attached for your reference).

                                      This is to inform you that if my number has been disconnected on 31st of Aug 2009 and Sametime SIM was destroyed in five peices, then HOW THE HELL MY NUMBER HAS BEEN USED TO MAKE SEVERAL ISD CALLS MADE ON 14TH OF SEPT 09 FOR THE BILLED AMT FOR RS. 9000 APP. ON SAMEDAY.

                                      After almost a month I recieved one call from Airtel recovery team saying my outstanding is due for Rs. 9700, when I asked for clarification nobody reverted me back.

                                      TODAY ONLY I RECIEVED ONE LEGAL NOTICE THAT MY AMOUT IS DUE FOR ABOVE NUMBER.

                                      This is a reharassement for me and for my family members and why should I not fetch them to the consumer court, if I have all the documents and proofs with me including the trailing mail below with me stating that my number was closed on 31st of Aug 2009.

                                      Moreover the calls made on 14th of sept 2009 that the summary shared by airtel seems to be FAKE as if you look closely on timings of calls like 4th call made on 14/09/09 at 03:22:19 for 21mins duration on [protected] after that immediatly 5th call made on same number for duration 30mins.8sec at 03:22:47 and same for 6th call at 03:23:00 and so on, which shows its fake bill outstanding imposed on customer due to TECHNICAL ERROR.

                                      I would request you to Kindly look into the matter and as I am helpless and not getting any response from airtel after sending so many reminders to them.

                                      Looking forward to your immediate and positive response.

                                      Thanks & Regards,
