Airtel — HOLDING CUSTOMERS TO RANSOM

I AM AN AIRTEL CUSTOMER IN DELHI AND TRAVEL FREQUENTLY.
ITS GOOD , NO DOUBT,, BUT.. ONCE I AM OUT ON ROAMING,, PPLE CAN'T CONTACT ME..THEY SAY ITS RINGING AND I AM NT ANSWERING, THERE IS NO MISSED CALL RECD / INDICATION ON MY CELL PHONE,,(HIGH END)..THEN AFTER A WHILE I RECEIVE A MSG FROM AIRTEL THAT I HAVE MISSED CALLS DURING THE DAY AND SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO A SEERVICE ON PAYMEN SO THAT I CAN GET TO KNOW WHICH CALLS I MISSED. NOTE THAT, I HAVE KEPT MY CELL "ON" IN FULL STRENGT SIGNAL AND TRIED ASKING FRIENDS TO CALL ..TO CHECK.. IT WAS EMBARASSING THAT A COMPANY OF SUCH REPUTATION SHOULD HAVE SUCH MODUS OPERANDI...
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT INCASE I AM ON FLT / SWITCHED OFF.. OR SO ON.. BUT NOT WHILE ALL IS WELL.. BASICALLY THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS NOT KEPT PACE WITH THE SUBSCRIBER BASE / CALL TRAFFIC PATTERN LOADING..
OUR RELATIONS GET SOURED BCOS OF SUCH MISUNDERSTANDINGS..C'MON AIRTEL - BHARTI.. WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS...REGARDS, PURI

Sir/Madam,
I had been customer of Idea for a long. But, due to your good popularity, services and reputation, I shifted to Airtel since about one & half a year (this you can also confirm by your system that, at present, I am having 3 connections). Now, I have been very much disappointed due to your services without any reason of rejecting & blocking one of my mob. No.[protected] (purchased from Sanyo Electronics, Dodhpur, Aligarh.
However, this is to complaint that I purchased mob. no.[protected] on 01.02.09 which was activated on 04.02.09 and was rejected with the message (SIM Error).
Then, I have to again purchase another SIM mob. No. [protected] on around 10.02.09 which was activated next day and working well.
I was also having another mob.no.[protected] which my daughter broken down due to some notorious calls.
I, therefore, would like to request you that my mob. no.[protected] be opened or issued a new one free of charge with the balance of earlier one or provided me duplicate one free of cost and be obliged. It is because there is no fault of mine in this regard.
With thanks,
Sincerely,

Thanks & regards

Dear Mr Puri,

If you take my suggestion please throw this Airtel SIM into a gutter, buy some other sim and forget this chor company. They will not help you. They only want people's money. Nothing else.

I am from Bombay and I have had enough from these . The police do not help. The courts take twenty years. The only thing that will work instantly is if you can carry five litres of petrol and burn their registered office in your own city. Then they will hear you falling at your feet. For this you will have to buy petrol, carry a lighter or match, take a day off and forget all useful work and single-mindedly attack them. Your work will be done.

If this does not fit your choice you will have to just forget Airtel. A bloody Chor organisation that will never prosper.

Bharti Airtel Ltd — Wrong Bill period 17-1-2010 to 16-2-2010

Company has wrongly charged me Usage of GPRS of 22059 amount Rs. 11029.50 when I am originaly covered under Plan o fBlackBerry Rs 899 Unlimited Usage of Internet, instant Messages etc. I lodged complaint on 17th January 25th January 2010 that Internate Sufing/Browsing is very poor and I can not make use of Internet. But instead of improving quality of Internate Browsing they changed by Plan to Rs. 499/- whic normaly not recommended to any customer. With the result the net usage has been bill for 22059 amount Rs 11029.50 When I have not used internet at all. Its Airtel has changed myh plan at own decision and they have been receiving my E-Mails.
This matter is to be looked into. When I have choosed Plan on Rs 899 originaly which is Unlimited why I should be chaged for Usage. Please note that I have not used Internet at all.

This matter is required to be checked. However I am sending the cheque of Rs. 3400/- Round figure for actual use of services (Rs. 3311.31) to Bharti Airtel Ltd.

Airtel Postpaid — Network / Call Drop

Hi

I have been having this complaint W.R.T to the network in our apartment for over 6 months now. I have made multiple complaints but the response from Airtel is really bad and is becoming worse.

Initial complaints were made in Jan 2009 and Airtel mentioned that they will resolve the issue within the said SLA of 4 days. I did not hear from them for sometime and the network issue was at its worst. I called a couple of times more in Jan only to be told that they were following up with the same with their "Technical Department". The complaint goes cold because I had to focus on work and I forgot about the complaint. After a month or so after my last call to their call center (around end of Feb), I received a call from one of their technical field executives. He comes homes checks some meter and confirms that there is a network issue. He mentions that he will follow up and escalate the same to his manager.


Nothing is done in March and April. And I conveniently (for Airtel) forget about the complaint and about the engineer who came home. The call drops and network issues persist. Meanwhile I go to my brother's place in C.V.Raman Nagar for a month (26th of April to 28th of May) and there is no problem there. I come back on the 29th of May to my apartment complex and we are back were we started 6 months ago. I complained on the 30th of May only to be told that it will take 8 days this time and the SLA is for 8th June.

Its the 8th of June today. I made mmultiple calls to Airtel call center to check the status and was told multiple times that I will get a call from some manager. Zilch!! Nothing has happened till date. I called just now and the same old story from their CSR's. Not sure why they have there in the first place. Paying such huge salaries. Might as well keep voice recorders with the same messages playing.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience"
"Our technical team is looking into the matter"
"We understand your problem"

It got so frustrating after a point of time that I used some foul language on some of the executives. And what do you know - I get a call almost immdtly from the one of the Manager concerned about the foul language!!!

Along with this one more great experience to note. I had not paid my landline and mobile bills due to the reason that their website will not accept payment and keeps giving me some funny message most of the time. For following up on this they are literally begging me for the change of Rs. 1300 and Rs.3000 for broad band. After this has crossed the payment due date by over 5 days, I get a couple of calls almost every day for the reminder to pay. I'd hope they do the same thing with their customer service and technical department.

Not sure why they have an online payment option if it doesn't work properly most of the time.

Inspite of all this, I'm still at square one with no action taken place. I could go on and on about the above but am sure it will make no difference to them.

Looking to have some response and proper closure... ;)

Airtel Post Paid — Call Drop

Sir
I am facing the problem regarding call drop from Airtel from past few months, whenever i make a call from my no it usually get disconnected displaying the error message as error in connection or call not allowed.
I even have made complain in Airtel Customer care regarding my problem many times, they took the complain and call back after 2-3 days saying that your problem is somved but nothing changes as i face the same problem again and again. As this is my business mobile no and is not possible for me to change it easily as it may affect my business as my few but important clients will not be able to contact.
So it is to request you to please help me and suggest me what step should i take regarding this problem. and how it could be solved.

Thanking You

AirTel — about singles

AIRTEL DIGITAL TV — unable to view tv

hey we are unable to see channels due to no signal its daily problem so we are tired against ur services okk
our customer id no - [protected]
as soon as u can solve our problem its good otherwise take ur dish back..................

I got 3 calls which was claiming as from corporate office from [protected].
One Meenakshi spoke with me even after telling her more than 3 times that Airtel had disconnected services to my number for not updating email and I have provided my email id since, she was not listening and parroting the same thing repatedly.
Then One another guy called me up saying that I was rude to that lady and he was also not ready to listen.
Never seen such senseless people who does not dare to question their own process and procedure even if it is a faulty.

I had got a call from [protected] on 22nd July from Airtel from their so called " Appellate Authority" saying that they are "investigating" the issue and ensure that no more calls will come again. I had asked him to write a mail to me giving all details of the complaints I had raised and who called and what were the actions they had taken. Has not got any mail till now.
Today I got one more SMS from their sales partner. The SMS came from [protected] at 11.30am on 25th July on an AIRTEL BROADBAND scheme and CUG scheme. I had earlier raised a complaint on the same number in June and as per Airtel, they had confirmed that they had taken action.
I had called 121 to register the complaint but as usual they refused.
The promises made by Appellate Authority also proved FALSE and without any shame they refuse to raise complaints. UCC is a regular feature and even after raising a complaint in this forum Airtel is not ready to do anything. It proves that they are partner to this violation and otherwise these sales agents will not get my number at all. By refusing to take complaint, which is happening to me for me for at least the 8th time, they silently promote such calls.
Please guide me how to take up this issue and make AIRTEL abide the rules of the country.

Sorry to note that this mail is not based on facts, as I am still getting SMS from your Vendors, for which you had confirmed disconnection.

The cause of irritation is that these SMS are only from Airtel's Vendors and the data has been provided to them by Airtel staff members only and also the fact that I am not getting any unsolicited calls from no one else than Airtel; which is contradicting your statement that you whole heartedly supports this initiative.

Also, please note that the SMS and calls are not in any decreasing trend and none of your vendors have stopped sending SMS or making calls even after raising the complaints on them and your call centre refuses to take any more complaints on your vendors on violation of DND.

I am disturbed on these SMS

you people are really teasing customers. 1st you send a msg about any subscription without any request from customer, and then you tell them to call on particular number to stop that. and if customer doesn't call then his balance is deducted and service is activated.
you are cheating people.

Hello,

Today i got a message in my mobile saying that they would be renewing dating service which i never activated. More so, they would be charing 1Rs/day. I want to deactivate it. The customer service was PATHATIC. The agent picked up the phone and then cut me off saying nothing. I have been a loyal custom of airtel for a long time. But now i am seriously thinking to change my connection.
