Airtel — Harrasment by Customer Care | |
While talking to someone, my call got dropped, the signals disappeared and the mobile phone screen read "Sim card registration failed" I sent the phone to the nearest Airtel Store, F - 5, East of Kailash, New Delhi. The executive there said that the SIM got damaged. I said "OK, give me a new SIM". He asked for Rs. 60 for a new SIM issue. I said that I am not at fault if the sim got damaged, that too when I got the SIM only about 2 - 3 weeks back and that I can't help it if AIRTEL issued bad quality SIM Cards, why should I bear the cost of their ignorance. To this the executive replied that it is an electronic chip and that to continue the service, I would have to pay up. I paid the money along with a new proof of ID and also paid the bill which was still much before the due date. I was told that it will be activated in 4 hours. This was around 1:00 P.M. Till 6:30 P.M. the SIM was still not activated. I called the customer service. I was told that the SIM shall be activated in an hours time. Nothing happened till the next morning, i.e. today. I called the customer service number [protected] today morning ffrom 10:00 a.m. It is as it is a pain to reach the executive who can listen and talk, eventually I reached the customer care executive and explained the whole problem and then he put me on hold. I kept waiting for quite some time and then I realized that the call has been disconnected. This smae thing happened 3 times. The 4th time when I called, the customer care executive kept telling me that he has forwarded the request and that for any further assistance I would need to visit the Airtel Store. I told him that when I talked to the people at the Airtel Store, they say that I need to speak to customer care, you tell me that I need to speak to the people at the Airtel Store. Should I not concentrate on my regular work or should I just keep visiting the Airtel Store, while I am missing important business due to the mobile phone not working. The customer care exdcutive kept repeating that I should go to the Airtel Store. I asked him what is he doing in customer care. He is supposed to help me out and not kick me around. He still repeated the same thing. I asked him are you stupid? (who would not get aggravated in my situation when for an hour i had been explaining my problem and 3 times the call was disconnected and then I get what the executive is saying, that too after the phone being down for a whole day) The customer care executive replied "Are you crazy?" I said "What the [censored]?" He said same to you. The call must have been recorded. It can be accessed in the database of Airtel, my mobile number is [protected]. Was this information helpful? | |

Hi,
My No. is - [protected] & I took the No. on 4th November, My plan is 125 +36 with CUG free & 10000 SMS free.
But as u check i daily receive a call from ur customercare for the bill & after discussion with your service delivery menager i already deposited 500 Rs in fisrt weak after commited that he will not discunnect my services, but today morning my incomeing & outgoing all services disconnected,
This is a Example of very very poor service that i was not expected to such a company.
I am very very dispointment to airtel services & probebly up to today evening i will change my no.
& service provider.
I am thinking also that why should not i put a notice on our Company notice Board in which i explain all about your company poor services.

Airtel Cellular — harrasing customers
TOTHE NODAL OFFICER
AIRTEL INDIA
Subject: its really very bad & embarrassing on u r part
Sir,
I DR Samir Jain took 2 airtel connection (prepaid) simultaneous in 1st week of September[protected], with same address and photo.(my address & my photo) THE NUMBERS ARE [protected] & [protected]. I had submitted two copies of each. On 27 October 2010 your airtel company disconnected my one number ([protected]) saying to submit address proof, and the other number is working normally ([protected]).
Its really funny that two mobile numbers with same address & same individual not working at same time.
I again submitted address proof & photograph again at Bombay SPORTS, G.B. ROAD ,GAYA(BIHAR). One of your employee mr Manish raj was requested thrice by the dealer on phone but he didn’t take care of that.
Earlier I made complain on 121 (customer care) with request reference number CBDVS[protected]. I am a reputed doctor practicing here, but your company is distributing new sim cards to criminals, anti social elements and others……
My all patient & hospital contact is on this number[protected]. I am facing problems like anything. My life has become pathetic…unwontedly your company is harassing customers..
Please look into the matter as early as possible otherwise I have to take legal action against your company ans charge penalty for this inconveniences caused to me.
Dr Samir jain.
