My Airtel mobile number is[protected]. Day before yesterday i received a message that " AT - AIRINF Thank you for choosing Job Alerts" and " You have been charged Rs. 1.5 for 1 day" . But I didn’t subscribe any Job Alert and immediately contact to Airtel Customer care executive Ms. Sarojini. She assured that to credit the amount. After I received a msg. that “your amount is credited to your account”.
Yesterday and today again they charged Rs.1.5 for the same.I keep getting message from AT - AIRINF
I don’t know how it was happened without any subscription how they deduct the amount from my number. Its a kind of pilferage. The Airtel company always making harm to the customer. If the same will be continued i will switch over to some other mobile company.

    I have a prepaid airtel connection.[protected]

    I regularly get SMSs for which I am charged Re.1.
    For eg: 25/08/2012 at 12: 56 From AIRINF
    I get the following message: Thanks for downloading Easy search from Airtel. You have been charged Re. 1.0

    The point is that my phone was locked when the message pinged.
    I have not subscribed/downloaded anything. Why should I pay be forced to pay.
    To un-subcribe I am forced to pay Rs. 2.0 sometimes.
    This is unethical and to my mind does not seem a legal way of making money.They send these to millions of people, most feel one re. is not worth making a fuss about, but I think this is a scam which runs into millions.
    Please do the needful.
    Thanking you, A.D. Manikoth

      Airtel BroadBand And Landline — False and Illegal billing

      We are using Airtel broadband services and Airtel sales team activated GOD by there own without our concern from January 2011, they are charging 199 Rs for GOD Service that was never activated by our side

      we are asking them to provide the proof where in we activated the service and they failed to provide this is a complete illegal process done by airtle boradband.

      Now I am going for a consume forum as they are not providing the proof of activation done on my phone.

      I want my money back since Jan 2011 till date, after a long fight they revered back the GOD amount for 2 months only but I need the full amount and the proof also.

        This is to inform you that the airtel land line number [protected], had some
        issues and your executive had come to my office and i had made full and final it the
        bill due with no fault of mine of Rs.1750 dated 18.8.12, the same day i get a call from
        another executive regarding the same issue for the balance payment, i informed them
        about it above the payment made but are not ready to understand , i disconnected the
        call , next day i.e on 20.8.12 i get a call again to continue the connection and offers me
        to wave Rs. 1000/- from the bill due around Rs.2600, i nformed them about the
        payments made , they tell me they will get back to me to resolve the issue, again in the
        evening of 20.8.12, i get a call that they will wave the complete amount of Rs.2600
        approx, and asked me to continue the above line .

        Now i don’t understand what is going on as different executive offers me different
        way to continue the connection , but i feel i have been cheated by airtel by asking me
        to pay the amount of Rs.1750, and then offering me the waving of the amount ???????
        Please let me know what ever happen with me is right from the airtel point of view. or
        i have been misguided....

              This is Hanumantha Rao.K and my mobile number is xxxxxxxxxx. I am using this number since very long time. and suddenly my number has been de activated by airtel. because of following reasons as expained by Moulali Shaik from Airtel Customer Care.

              1. Since 45 days i am not using this connection for outgoing calls. and my concern, is it necessary to make out going calls? i have to spend money even i dont have requirement to make outgoing calls? is it valied?
              2. Since long time i am got recharged the amount. and my concern, is it necessary to recharge? even i have the balance in my account? is it valied?
              3. And my connection is having life time validity. and my conern, is even i have recharged for life time validity, why the Airtel had deactivated my connection? and what is the meaing of life time validity?

              So finally, the customer means.. I have to spent money for surviving Airtel, even the life time validity recharged customer doesn't have requirement to recharge the balance or making out going calls.

              And kindly have the complaint number provided by Moulali Shaik from Airtel Customer care[protected].

              This is karthik, My mobile number is [protected] i have taken as simcard lifetime offer, paying 999 scheme but currently they deactivated my number.
              I don't know why this type of cheating they are doing?

              AirTel — Life Time Validity

              I paid for life time validity and got a message on[protected] that the benefits of the lifetime scheme will be activated in the next 72 hours.by sender 121. But it says the validity will expire on[protected]. Does lifetime means this much period only. Surely it does not. The customer is being befooled. Validity should be extended till life.
              Yes the validity must be for life time if a customer pays once for it.

              Dear Sir,

              I had been using my Airtel prepaid number [protected] since 2004..I had recharged it with life time validity with an amount of Rs. 999 in 2005 my license used to display to be valid till 2021...I also had maintained a balance of Rs. 250 in my account..I used to use this number to connect to internet only and after few months as I was not satisfied with the service I had stopped using GPRS fecility and kept it only to receive/make calls...I had left my phone switched off for the last five months as I was not in kolkata..Today when I turned on the phone it is showing sim card registration failed...I contacted customer service more than 4 times (talked to Joydeep and Kaushik from customer care dept. on 14th Feb at 1:30 in the night) and they are dropping my calls without giving me a resolution and transferring the call to a number which is ringing for more than 5 minutes till the time I am fed up and am disconnecting from my end..Cusotmer service is saying that this number is a new number that has not been registered yet...
              I still have sms-s from Airtel easy recharge saved in my sim card that proves that this number belongs to me and multiple other messages from Airtel as well...As I had not receievd any call or have not made any calls from this number since quite sometime..they have taken away my balance and are trying to resell the number to someone else...I have the SIM card and sufficient proofs at my disposal...I had paid such a huge amount to make this number a lifetime valid(five years back it was very costly to make a number valid for lifetime)...Please help me on this and let me know if you need any other information like sms registration number etc...

                Such services who con the customers for spam should be brought to books and severely punished. I am not sure how to stop this and so writing on this forum. Does anybody have any clue on this nuisance?
                Good response and my problem got rectified.

                      Airtel Digi TV — Complaint Successfully closed

                      Without even installation being done....how is it that the complaint is sucessfully closed????




                      For the last one hour your call centre executives are pretending that lines are not clear.
                      So with a phoney accent they start saying HELLO HELLO and disconnect my call.
                      Chandni,Ravi etc etc whatever psuedo names they call themselves....


                      Incase Airtel is too busy they should let me know the same.... and incase service cannot be provided why not refund the money that you are sitting on??

                      Hope your South African customers will be more understanding than we are in India.


                      I have given request for reinstallation of Airtel digital TV at my new address in Bangalore.
                      Each time I give a complaint a new complaint no is generated.
                      Customer Code: [protected]
                      Complaint Codes: 1144724,1155758
                      Moreover after every call I am given a new appointment date & time
                      . For the last three days( 2nd October to 4th October) I have been given atleast 10 different time slots.
                      Neither is my request processed nor am i getting contact details of any authorised Airtel Service Engineer.
                      This is simply harrassment by Airtel.
                      ( Pl note that all payments regarding this connection IN ADVANCE has been made to AIRTEL).

                      Airtel Digi TV — Additional Service Charges

                      I got Airtel Digi Tv connection last year and I feel my self in cloud 9 after my first service call the exciting thing which I come to know " is for any service call I will be charged 100 Rs. As maintenance of Dish is customers responsibility and any error which requires visit of their guy there is an additional burden of 100 Rs straight away".

                      Now this is good and I can say a very good to make money out of customer and to avoid any unnecessary service call, but these things should be informed to customer when they apply for the connection.

                      Further One more strange thing for intial six months they wont charge any thing but after wards its all chargeable now again this is such a service which doesn't need to have such a warranty ideally the warranty should come as limited number of free service calls to customer rather than giving him a grace period of 6 months.

                      And best thing is that even this is not informed to customer when they apply for the connection.

                      No doubt this can be part be of their service agreement written any where in the document(with * attach to it and we all know the reason of such clauses) but these things should be specifically informed to customer as they informed like subscription charges which they don't do and this is a big cost which can come up later and the strange thing is that if you make 3 service call in a month this will exceed your monthly subscription.

                      So overall an unfair one sided practice by airtel, might be other companies also doing it I don't know.

                      Hi

                      Well I received call from customer care of Airtel now the issue is rather than understanding the problem the are narrowing it down to Visit Charge of 100 Rs.

                      I dont't think they have good people to understand customer concern my advice to those who are coming in to their trap by paying advance rental for DTH services they rather think twice on it.
                      Below is my response to their answer.
                      ________________________________________________________________________________...
                      Hi Arun,

                      Thanks for your note, well to be honest you are narrowing the concern to visit charges, well if this is the mindset Airtel has than I am afraid the company wont survive in competitive world as days of monopoly in this sector are over.

                      The real concern which I raised is of information to the customer and any rational person could have understood what I tried to say in my communication.

                      Now coming to monetary aspect you have enjoyed my entire month subscription w/o giving me any benefit out of it, did you ever thought as service provider if there is no services availed the money should be refunded?

                      Well I am enjoying couple of other services from Airtel like my mobile and few others and these also I am going to switch over to other service provider.
                      Mr.Dixit,
                      Thanks for your response, however regret to note inspite my complaints nobody from your organisation bothered to call me to find out
                      Still I am getting sms msgs stating that to charge. How come. When I had obtained full yrly subscription and kept safe custody nearly
                      4 months your organisation is least bothered to respond me nor taken any positive action. The number which you had put on web site
                      cannot be reachable on MTNL lines. I had airtel phone which I discontinued only becase your poor service n response. Now pl note
                      if you do not restore normalcy and extend period which I am entitled I am compelled to bring the contents to the notice of TRAI and
                      consumer Forum and in event any legal fees are payble I will reserve my right to claim all damage charges in this regard and reserve right to protest at a convenient time and further note I will not register any further complain in this regard

                        Airtel has the most pathetic service among DTH TV providers in Jaipur.

                        I have this connection for the past one year and I have been consistently facing problems with the broadcast (Signal loss in fair weather when other DTH services are working perfectly fine)

                        The money you have invested in buying the service is a total loss since there is no refund if you disconnect. (As per their terms and conditions, even the dish antenna and STB are owned by Airtel and they take it away of you disconnect.)

                        Also, when I compare Tata Sky packages - I am paying more for a similar set of channels in Airtel than what I am in Tata Sky. Not that TSky is perfect, but it is miles ahead in terms of customer service and service quality as compared to Airtel.

                        Sorry Airtel, you need to get your quality up and invest a little more in getting quality customer service personnel in place.

                            Please help me out to sort out these problem.
                            I know you will do the needful so please,

                            thanking you,

                            dont trust airtel. They are bull-. Since last two months wenever i call airtel customer care. they always say that the money that was deducted wrongly from their side will be refunded. but they dont. they are thiefs. I rcvd a sms saying ' thanks fr downloading java game'. but i never did. and everytime i call, they say will be refunded. associates like- manoj, chirag, and who the ... Associates have no information. they keep on hold fr lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time and wen are unable to answer then cut the lines. even these associates have no dignity. Airtel is a company where customer is and her/ his problem is given no consideration... such a company should be shut down.
                            I'm using [protected] mobile number since 28th october 2005 as a corporate connection. It is used to expire on every 27th october. I have made payment for one year advance rental of Rs. 1198 last year which has been expired on 27th october 2008.
                            After that i have received too many calls for renewal payments but i have asked him that i want to convert it in prepaid in place of postpaid.
                            Then As per rule it has to be disconnected on that day, but they have imposed Rs. 298 plan with this number without get permission with me. This message was received by me from Shakarpur Outlet, where i was gone there for converting the connection as prepaid in place of postpaid.

                            I have made rest payment on the time and mailed him for this issue, then airtel's representative came to me and asked that your payment has been waived out and issue me another sim of prepaid.

                            After that this connection has been activated on 03-12-08. but after that i have received too many calls for the payment which was waived off and also received a letter for the payment and suggest me to contact Mr. Sumit SArkar at [protected], but sorry to say nobody has received or call me back till date.

                            As per Airtel's rule no convertion has been made without paying any outstanding, so if i'm wrong then how did it be possible.

                                  Dear Concerned ,

                                  This is to inform you that we are users of AIRTEL Broadband & landline for more than a year now .
                                  The broadband services every now & then suddenly stops working. When the customer care is called they never have an informative or permanent solution to the same .
                                  Recently we have found out that without any prior information our lanline number on which the broad band was being used has also been changed from[protected] to[protected].
                                  This is quite alarming !!!

                                  The net connection is always dropping making the connection very weak & slow basically very difficult for the user to use . We use a plan of 24*7 net connect on a fixed rental . If as a customer we are paying the full amount not depending on the usage then we should also be rendered services accordingly .

                                  2 major poimt sto be brought to Notice

                                  > Net connection keeps on dropping
                                  > Landline number changed from [protected] to[protected]. without prior notice

                                  Please be rest assured that any costs bared to this landline from the day of the number being changed will not be paid by us .

                                  Thanks & Regards

                                    We have been facing Signal Issues with Airtel Digital TV from last one month .
                                    A Engineer visited and he replaced the receiver . For 2 days we got the signals .
                                    After that again same issue got repeated .
                                    One more engineer came and again for 2 days we got signals.
                                    Again we got same issue before 15 days.
                                    No one from Airtel contacted me . I have called customer care 10 times.
                                    I had also called pragati Enterprises in Marathahalli location (pin code: 560037) who send technicians from airtel.

                                    They are not at all picking my phone.

                                    No one contacted me from 15 days .

                                    My complaint number raised with Airtel is : 21684381.

                                      I have requested to airtel to permanently disconnect my broadband A/c no.16415460 on dated 16412.
                                      i have already made the final payment to airtel, after this i received many calls from airtel they tried to wash my mind they ask me to keep this no. or transfer this no to my relative but i told them i do not want to continue & ask him to disconnect the line permanently.
                                      still my no. is active & they are regularly sending the bill. now they are calling for the payment.
                                      it is very harassing to me.

                                        i have a Airtel connection. in a recent order from the govt. of India on banning of bulk sms-s it is clearly stated that a customer cannot send more than 5 sms in one go(as read in the newspapers and seen in news channels) for 15 days.. but Airtel and some other companies have made it that we cannot send more than 5 sms IN THE WHOLE DAY... this is ridiculous and against the order. we r having great inconvenience. general public is suffering because the order was a different one and implementation was a different one. i think this matter should be looked into. thank you
