Ten Sports Not Activated

Dear Manager,
My landline number is[protected]. I had requested to activate Ten Cricket Channel as Top up on this
landline on 24th Dec, 20.
I was promised that the Channel would be activated till 28th Dec, 2010 , however
nothing happened till that time. On 29 Dec 2010 I called 198 and lodged a
complaint and was promised action within 24 hours.
AGAIN NOTHING HAPPENED.
Then I called again and again aound 8 times but they said that they have activated it but still I did not get the channel. The Technical team is looking into the matter but I never get a call from them

HELP. IF YOU CAN.

Hi,
I am getting lots of Advertisement calls and SMS on my phone.. I am not at all happy with service. These advertisement calls and SMS comes even in night as late as 11pm .. I dont want to disclose my number here. If someone from Airtel really looking into these complains I would like them to please contact me on my mail ID - [protected]@gmail.com, I would provide my phone number to block all advertisements ...

I assume this complains fall in right place....

FYI .. Please dont provide DND service as solution since i tried it and its saying that it will take 45 days to stop unwanted calls and sms ..

I tried reaching customer care and it charged me for per call but never reached to a customer care representative..

Customer care is not at all effective...

NO THANKS,

Intro:
I have been using Airtel postpaid for almost 4 years now and have also taken an add-on connection and a dth connection.

Issue:
I have subscribed to a blackberry plan (Rs. 599 + taxes for unlimited internet and mail usage)
But recently came to know that the same plan is been offered to pre-paid customers for Rs. 399
This is like a same restaurant offering dinner at different prices to different customers.

My Action:
I called the customer care 121 and 7070, appelate officer, retention team etc. to provide me a plan which is same as prepaid.

Response:
- 121 mentioned they will call back ... but no one called back
- 7070 mentioned that someone will call back ... Got a call where the person mentioned that I have requested to deactivate my plan (I never asked to deactivate my plan)
- Once again when i called back and mentioned that even competitors are giving a plan for 399, customer care executive said "thn go buy a competitor product". This was the height now
- When called the appellate officer in Maharashtra ... He mentioned that there is some systems issue and he will call back in half an hour ... No one called back
- When again complained to 121, they pased my call to retention team ... He mentioned that his team doesnt have any authority to look into it (God knows thn why this team exists)

I just wanted that I should not have been discriminated by the same company by giving cheaper plan (Rs. 399) to prepaid guys and costlier plan (Rs. 599 + tax) to postpaid. I am very much disappointed with the company now and will change my provider once the MNP comes in or might think of changing the provider and get a new number.

Below is a mail that I have escalated to airtel after 6 months of no resolution. I sent this mail to nodal & appelette on 22nd december'10 but no resoltion. I get calls from the call center who without looking into the history speaks the same thing...NEVER BUY AIRTEL


I have been with Airtel as a broadband user and mobile for the last 3 years and since last 6 months I am having horrendous experience with your customer care/billing department.

I received a call in June from one of your call center who offered me FREE GOD (games on demand)services. I was told that since I have a 1699 plan, it would be free to me. Since, I was not loosing anything, I agreed for the services though never used it(you may check my a/c for that).
To my utter surprise, I received a bill next month with the charge of Rs.199 for GOD. I contacted the customer care and informed them and lodged a complaint and asked the CS to check the recording what was promised to me and what I agreed on. I spoke to couple of people and finally I was given a credit on the same. I requested the CS team to remove the services so I dont have to bother about the billing dicount etc. since I never use it. I explained this to an Airtel Supervisor who supposedly called me from the Airtel HQ.She promise me to get this removed etc and even investigate into the callcenter sale but VIOLA..NO SURPRISE.,,,I didnt hear from you guys about it.

The GOD was not removed from my plan however I was given a discount though I called again asking the same to be removed but my request were going to DEAF AIRTEL ears.

I, then changed my plan in october to a 1299 or 1399 plan and was astonished to see my latest bill again charging me for the GOD. I am yet to see my November bill however I would not be surprised if it is reflecting there as well.

Below are the times I have called your customer care in last few months for the same issue, I have collected from the call center so it may be more than this which might not have been logged. Also, this does not include the times when I have received a call back to discuss. By putting this, I am trying to tell you the kind of time I have to invest with Airtel for a small issue.


July - 3
August-4
September -1
Oct-4
Today -1

Now either your billing system is in a Mess or aegis/ibm whichevr center is handling these calls wants more traffic from customers like me so they can bill you more for the calls and meet their SLA's since evertime with a false promise, they get an FCR to their credit.

I am sick of Airtel and would remove every of my account from you guys ASAP. I will also go to the consumer court with all my details and look for a penalty levied on you guys but understanding that we live in India and god save our system which is making companies like you treating the customer the way you want I would do my best to let people know about your services and your treatment to a customer of 3 years. I will ensure that MY FACE BOOK & TWITTER A/c speaks a lot about your services and also I would have my friends and family staying away from you.

NO thanks to you...

Repeated sms for recharge - promise of talktime higher then the recharge value - i.e. recharge for Rs.35/- and you are credited with Rs.22/- with a message that says that the balance Rs.28/- will be credited after 48 hrs. This never happens and when contacted the customer care always puts you on hold. Message received on my cell on 14.11.2010, Recharge for Rs.10/ and Tall time Rs.12/- - EXTRA TALK TIME Rs6/ credit after 48 hrs.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I was using Airlet Land Line number[protected], and then I put a request for at coustomer care over phone to disconnect because of some personal reasons,
The number was disconnected in the month of August 2010, and Airtel Informed me that I will get NOC letter from Airtel within 45 days at my billing address, but I didnt recieve any letter from Airtel.
After four months in the month of December 2010 , I am recieving the phone call from Airtel the I have to pay a sum of rupees 2500/- then they will give me the NOC letter.
This is totally fraud from Airtel side and they are harrasing me by saying that they will put my case in Leagal.
Airtel did not send me any bill nither any letter to my address prior to the phone calls in the month of December 2010.
Request you to please help me out as I am fed up with Airtel Now.
Regards
Vivek Saxena

1. I top uped my mobile nymber [protected] on 30th Dec 2010 with amount of Rs.99 using netbanking, but my mobile got recharged by only Rs.10. Also Rs.99 was deducted from my account.

2. When I called to customer care service of airtel mobile I was put on hold and tranfered several times and after that I was told that nothing can be done I need to go to nearest Airtel office.

3. When I logged in Airtel site for complaint, the page gets refreshed once you save it.

Transaction details:

Ref No : [protected]
Mobile No : [protected]
Amount : 99

I am using my airtel number [protected] for more then 4 years,today balance is Rs.408.65,validity-Jun2011 but my phne's.out going has stopped (Customer care also ) without any information by airtel .At present the reason is announced as in sufficient submission of documents .This is surprising that Airtel has come to point out / find this after more then 4 years, It is very shameful for airtel to give services till date without any enquirer. It is very disappointing for safe and security of communication system ,why there was not a check earlier. Will airtel retun my balance amount?
In addition to this my mobile no [protected] has been taxed twice and there are many more cheatings

Dir,
I am facing a problem on my Airtel No. [protected], I want to disconnect caller tune from this number. I have many times send the sms to costumer care, but no response from there side. Please disconnect the caller tune / hello tune from this number.
I hope you will see the complaint & give the positive feed back.

My name is Deepthi, residing at koramangala NGV Bangalore, reason for lodging the complaint against Bharti Airtel limited is as follows.

Last 2 months back i got a new prepaid sim ([protected]) at first sim was activated easily and i used it for past one and half month. Last two weeks back the sim was inactivated for the purpose of address proof. I gave the same address proof which i had given first. I.e, my driving licence. Now the problem is sim had been invalid because at the time of crosschecking the address proof was not correct. How this can be happened. I want particular reason for this .

I am Deepak Gayke ([protected]) using Airtel Prepaid past 5 yrs. In these yrs many times Airtel Activates Add-On services without asking me or it's consumer and charging Activation fee.
Recently on my mobile, Friends Chat Service was Acivated without giving any prior information to me and charged 30 Rs. for a month. After calling to Call center Mr. Kartik Nadar Airtel costomer care Executive speaking lie that I have called to Activate the service and speaking ruddly.
Thank You take action immidiate and refund money.
