Hi,

I purchased an Airtel Data Card last year in October with SNR: ML36C5083 and IMEI: [protected], bearing the number [protected] for rupees 6099/-. I opted 599 plan as per the plan posted on www.airtel.co.in/datacard. Since then every month I am getting a bill in excess of 700 irrespective of my low internet usage. I was dealing with supervisors in Airtel regarding the incorrect/excessive billing, in April this year as suggested by one of the supervisors I have changed the plan from 599 to 999 which is supposed to be an unlimited plan. Unfortunately the plan change was never updated and I continued to get the excessive amount of bill irrespective of my less utilization of internet service. One fine day Airtel has send me a bill of about 6000 rupees and discontinued my internet services, I personally met the so called supervisor Mr. Gyaneshwar from Airtel in their office located in the Whitehouse building, begumpet to discuss about the same, after multiple reminders this gentleman send a request to wavier the excessive amount they have billed so far.
After all this drama, my number still remains to be barred. I have now decided to discontinue this pathetic service of Airtels and opt for a better service provider. I sincerely request all not to opt for Airtel data card especially as their plan is not transparent and moreover it gives lots of mental pressure. Airtel customer service is the worst as their agents doesn’t know what they speak and to my surprise they don’t know what a DATA CARD is. I have undergone the pain and mental trauma, I request other’s not to.


Regards,
A frustrated Airtel customer.

Iam airtel costomer since last 2 years, Iam from Rajahmundry, near I L T D, juction, Iam suffering with this area network, this area network is very worst and poor, suddenly the call failed and no signal in this area.I sent many complaints to your customer care centeres, But this problem didnot solve, i sent many e mails also, Do you solve this problem ?/not?,

If not, i will do mouth pulicity, and spend some money aginst your airtel network, and i will somplaint TRAI, AND CONSUMOR FORUMS,

Is it number 1 in network? Trase, , very false, the airtel network is very very bad and negleteble worst company,

If You dont know how to solve this problem, please close this network bussiness, then you open BROTHEL COMAPENY, YOUR ARE SUITABLE THAT BUSSINESS ONLY,

hi how r u

Hi,
I am Gagandeep Puri and my Karnataka Airtel Prepaid Number is [protected].

I have a number of complaints against Airtel:

1. Customer care is horrible. Lack of information, improper communication and call disconnection after ever 2-3 mins is what I get when I try calling 121. Every time I try calling CC, I have to wait for all the announcements to complete before I can press 9 to talk to an executive. This itself takes about 1 minute. During the call, after you have explained the problem to the executive, the call gets disconnected!!! I wonder if the customer care executive himself disconnects the call!!! Not once or twice this happens almost every time I call Customer Care.

2. I recharged with a 249 recharge voucher and was told that 3 months hello tune would be free (no monthly rental). As told by customer care, hello tune would be activated within 24 hrs...
Even after 5 days the service was not activated. After innumerable calls, Customer care told to active the service by sending an SMS. After sending an SMS, 45Rs were deducted from my balance (30 for monthly + 15 for song selection). On calling customer care, a complaint number was given which is still not resolved even today after 2 months.
The only answer I get is monthly rental was charged because I activated the service by sending an SMS. But this was exactly what I was told by customer care to do!!

3. I requested for Mobile office to be activated on my cell, after sending the SMS, balance was deducted but the service was not activated. The customer care is useless as mentioned in point 1.

4. I tried recharging with the mcheck (Mobile recharging). It was successful for the first 2 recharges on different dates. When I tried to recharge for the 3rd time, my credit card was charged but balance was not credited to my account. On calling customer care, he told me that recharging/payment thru credit card is not available on prepaid!!! Then how did it recharge for the first two times? Any how the hell was it registered at the first place?

5. I was informed by customer care that Airtel live and Airtel Online cannot be used with HTC mobiles. But I have been using Airtel live n my HTC for 1 year now!! (Both in Andhra and Karnataka)

i want reg address for this mobile no:[protected] OR i want this no [protected] outgoing sms detiles i want, state mant date
aug2007 & sep2007 please replay me.

I am airtel customer since last 4 years, I am from Bangalore, I am suffering call drop from airtel, network is very worst and poor, suddenly the call failed and most of STD and IST call are drop at after completion of 60 pulse, I am not shore airtel blocking the network or dropping the call or Pulse jump from airtel. I sent many complaints to your customer care centers, But this problem did not solve, i sent many e mails also, even I ask them I will making payment for actual usage they said they don’t have option for reversal of call charges.
Always airtel customer care officer confirm there is no problem from their network alright, my question is if I call up to other network I to agree due to technical problem call can drop, but I calling up to same service provider who using airtel at Chennai .


please do let mm know how go to consumer form
Thanks & Regards

I applied for conversion from postpaid to prepaid for [protected] on 7/7/2008. On 8/7, the postpaid was disconnected. Today is 12/7 and the prepaid is not activated yet. Three trips have been made to Silverline at MG Toad Adyar after waiting for an hour each time with a token. They say "within two hours" every time. When I call[protected] their helpline, the phone is picked up and kept aside. I have not seen this kind of ineptitude, incompetence and pathetic standards of service in any industry anywhere.
