Management

Subject : Complaints…

1. Unwanted and unnecessary activation, promotional calls & and being charged….since past ONE YEAR

2. Unauthorized activation of the schemes and packages

3. Unnecessary disturbance all day, and that disturbs her sleep and health.


Some of the schemes and packages ACTIVATED AND CHARGED without our knowledge are as under :

• Matrimonial sites
• Cricket scores
• Jokes
• Airtel Radio
• Airtel talkies
• Caller Tunes, songs, ….. etc etc
• Some others too that are not yet known to us … as the staff was checking and call gets conviently disconnected.


Sir / Madam,

This is a VERY SERIOUS BREACH of trust by your “Airtel Company”, where I have now decided to take legal action and I will make sure this is in print in all leading newspapers.
There’s utter lack of responsibility and absolutely no accountability on the part of this unprofessional organization. It accounts to CHEATING, practically EVERY customer.

My mother is 74 years old and she just watches TV programs that too very few.

She brought this to my notice that there are messages and unnecessary calls throughout the day…
and I was shocked to find what is happening.

NOTE :

• She is in no state to re-marry or listen to jokes or cricket scores every day many times over.
• She does not even know how to operate the cell apart from receiving and making calls.
• She has NOT subscribed or authorized any schemes or packages what-so-ever.
• The disturbance level of ringing all day is unnecessary and that is affecting her sleep and health.
• Not to forget we have been CHARGED for all this.
Calling Airtel Customer Care is a saddening and frustrating affair and needs loads of time… as the call gets conviently disconnected or long waiting or no reply.

Visiting airtel galleries earlier too was frustrating … AND so as PROOF this time; is as follows…



On the above date and time I visited Airtel Gallery, Lokhandwala complex …
Spoke to Mr. UMESH… He could not help but he did connect me to another department where one MS DIPALI MOHAN K from ARC Dept. spoke to me… now here too the calls were getting disconnected.
This was from the gallery itself.
On wanting to speak to the manager I was told she/he also wasn’t present.
Mgr name : Ravinder Kaur.

Once again I was connected to Dipali who agreed after checking that some packages were activated and that CHARGES were DEDUCTED.

She could only check for the month from May 2010.

She later took my
contact number : [protected] and
email id : [protected]@yahoo.com and she said that she would consult her seniors and revert.

I have been WAITING………………………………………………………………�...⇄ date.

All I want now;

1. TOTAL deductions done since June 1st 2009 till DATE 17TH June 2010.
2. Stoppage of all these schemes, packages and unwanted calls.
3. Crediting the entire amount to her airtel number.

My email id is :
[protected]@yahoo.com

Anxiously waiting for your response…

Dear sir/maim,

we had purchased fue airtel prepaid sim card . and used fifteen or sixteen days . around after 15 days both sim has blocked by airtel customer care due to not submited any required doccument .Then i have made call to customer care bcz i have submited all the required document . but they said that ," we did not get any document," then again we have submited all document which you required to Mr Anil mishra your airtel loby manager. and Mr. Anil mishra has commited that your no. will be start with 48 ours but after 3 days problem was same then again went to airtel loby and ask him about no activation. but Anil mishra has done misbehaive and abused and said we will not submit any document and also you can not activated no by any body.
So i think this is not a good service in a airtel which is multinational company.
so plz look in to this matter care fully. for any further information plz contact me at below mention contact no.

my consumer no - [protected].

digital tv and tripadvisor 's offer of writing review and getting cashback of rs 250 is fake. airtel digital tv is cheater. as per offer all those who write 3 hotel reviews on www.tripadvisor.in site and if those are posted on their site , all such consumers will get a cashback of rs 250 in their digital tv a/c. but once it is done, they start fooling consumers. they will say which offer? u r not eligible, u r not selected, u must have not entered ur registered mobile no, etc. they will not reply i[censored] email them, they will not provide u seniors number nor any number of tripadvisor. they are cheatrs, liars and they must be taught lesson. i have registered complaint agsinst them in consumer forum and also request all such consumers to do the same. if MIttal is out of money, we will donate but stop fooling, cheating, disturbing by sending sms and emails and wasting our time. hope mittal is reading this.
even service is poor. i have connection since last4-5 months but till date i cannot see my account details on tv. most of the features say... it is being updated. Huh.... shame on you ... avoid digital tv ...

I had purchased Airtel prepaid sim card from JSD communication who is dealer of AIRTEL (A -27/28 New Ashok Nagar New Delhi-110096) on the date of 6-6-2010 . After one week I had got the message regarding the registration from submission. That time I told to dealer about that message but dealer told me that I had submitted your form. After two days I had got the message that your sim card is unregistered so plz contact to dealer.
I asked to customer care executive about that one problem than he told me plz contact your dealer and take your sim registration receipt number, when I went to dealer shop he forbade me to give me that receipt number and he told me that i dont have receipt number. and he also tolh me that i am not resposible for your registration form.marketing person of Airtel is responible for your form.
I had given that number to many people which take importance for me and I have near about Rs 100 talk value.

Sir,

This is to inform you that I am a Airtel customer. For last two months I have been receiving unnecessary messages from phone No. 5432163 with extension[protected],[protected] etc. for which I have never activitated. With this messages Rs. 30/- per month i.e. Rs. 1 per day is being deducted. It is a matter of grave concern that I am being requested to make friend and chat with the charming girls some of whose numbers are given above.

This is highly objectinable. It is therefore requested to look into the matter and take appropriate action to solve the problem.

With regards,

UR SINCERE POOJA SINGH.

First I got this message from AIRTEL (while I was in Mumbai) on my prepaid AIRTEL phone with home base in Ahmedabad Gujarat:

QUOTE:

"SPECIAL OFFER FOR GUJARAT CUSTOMER WHILE ROAMING ANYWHERE ACROSS INDIA, RECHARGE WITH Rs111, GET FULL TALK TIME OF RS 111 OR RECHARGE WITH RS 500 GET RS500 TT"
SENT BY AIRTEL, MESSAGE CENTRE[protected],[protected] AT 17:52:55


UNQUOTE


The message had no validity defined and one is entitled to assume the validity applied while one was still roaming.

I then recharged the phone for Rs111 on[protected] morning in Mumbai and got the following message:

QUOTE:


RECHARGE SUCCESSFUL ON[protected] AT 11:00AM. TALKTIME RS1.00. MRP RS.111.00 TRANSID [protected]. RS20&GET FULL TALKTIME. VALIDITY 1DAY.


UNQUOTE:

Now one wonders why would one get only One Rupee credit and pay Rs111 MRP for transaction to do that? If I get one rupee credit for Rs111, that is a 11100% profit on a transaction. This is ridiculous in any language, for any company in any jurisdiction.

It makes a mockery of India's toothless tiger TRAI - its telecommunications regulatory agency, of Mr Mittal's cry for fair go on 3G spectrum pricing so as to assist his company, the whole cakewalk that Mr Mittal is having in taking over telecommunciations in India and Africa and finally the weak telecommunications regime around the whole world.

This is not the way the world is going to benefit from telecommunciations and we need to see better regulation and better managements of telecom companies. There is a massive gap created and I would not be surprised why Mr M Ambani plus Mr A Ambani may just succeed where everyone else failed.

I further believe that any company, unlike AIRTEL, who gives customer a toll free number to discuss recharge and fix recharge problems has an upper hand in understanding how to keep cash flows going. Would you charge your prepaid customer left with no credit to talk to you to discuss recharge or fix a recharge problem? Well, AIRTEL does!

Dear Sir,

I have purchased prepaid sim card no H[protected] ( Cell no[protected] from authorised dealer ( Samarth Agency, Shop no 6,7, Umerekar Complex, Shahaji Market, shivaji nagar, Nanded) by submitting the required documents through recipt no 0949 dated 18/05/2010.

The sim card was activated instantly and services for the same was started at same time, Since then I have not got any call from company I was using it without any complaint till 10/06/2010, on 10/06/2010 out going services had been blocked, on enquirey to customer care I was told that You had not submitted necessary document and asked me to contact dealer where sim card purchased.

I visited Samarth agency, Nanded immidietely on 12/06/2010 even though I was in other state at the time of problem because the Cell no newly purchased was circulated to all my higher athority From CEO and all mamngemental team so do not want to discontinue my services .

Being a orgainzation we are big user of air tel services in Andhra (CUG) and we are getting quick reponse in Andhra so that here also we were thinking to take air tel services.But response we got from Air tel poeple was up to mark and not satisfied us. They just checked with system and told , every thing is ok your out going services will be started after 2 hours. They have given me contact no ( [protected] Mr Parveen) on which I was kept calling after 2 hrs contineuosly till 14/06/2010 evening but could fail to get response in this regard. Now my incomming services also blocked.

On 15th morning I had been told your sim has been inactivated because of Negative verification, but truth is no body have made contact to me in this regards. As this no continuation is important for me, it already circulated thorough our organization, sudden change will not be tolerated. If I could fail to get justice I will inform our concern to discontinue/shift Air tel CUG to another CUG.

Sim card is having sufficient balance Rs 332.74.So request to continue the services of my Sim .

Dear Sir,

I have an Airtel Prepaid Number [protected] and using this contact number for promoting my educational courses through newspapers and online classifieds.

Recently I found that my Airtel Prepaid Number [protected] is hacked by somebody and being controlled by them after observing these symptoms;

1. I received missed calls from my own number
2. Data Packets Send though my GPRS is not activated
3. My Cell Phones shakes randomly whilst it is not on use. I was using the cell Lava11.
4. Recently I lost my mobile phone and got the new Sim card with the same and using it with normal cell piece Nokia 1100, still I get my cell shaking at night times.

I have spoken to Airtel customer support through local Airtel office that connected me to Airtel Hyderabad office; executive and in-charge spoken to me saying that it does not happen with Airtel numbers. But the above symptoms clearly says that my

I am scared that if someone is controlling and using my number for spam calls or any unsolicited calls or messages then it will affect my Institutional operations and my own reputation.
