[Resolved]  Airtel Free Gift Reebok Watch Or Shades — all hoax not free

Address:Tamil Nadu

Airtel sent to me a code for free gift, when i checked the details they want Rs 150 as courier charges..the watch and the googles they seem to offer is not worth Rs 100....If they announce as free everything should be free this is not fair......Corier charges should be borne by the sender.....Nowadays they charge for the free number 121 if we talk to the customer care executive.....These are restrictive practices...TRAI should object to all these activities of aIRTEL COMPANY....aLSO in foreign countries they charge less for broadband width....Airtel increased or doubled and announced as free but shelved all the schenmes Rs699 and Rs599 and forced us to change over to 799 scheme for 512kbps How this can be fair practice?
Al;so keeping the same equipment and adding a few incurring less cost they charge the customers heavily...
Sometimes in the prepaid accounts they go on deductind money without our knowledge.How to trust these private piracy? TRAi shopuld intervene and not be silent spectator.

BUT I DIDNOT RECEIVED ANY OF THE ACTIVATION CODE ON MY MOBILE, ON THE SAME TIME, I JUST RECEIVED ONE E-MAIL ACTIVATION CODE WITH REF#98837.
WHICH, I JUST COULDNT UNDERSTAND, WAS APPLICABLE TO WHICH OF THE COUPON OR SCRATCH CARD NO.
I COULD'NT GET ANOTHER E-MAIL ACIVATION CODE ON MY E-MAIL AS WELL.
AFTER GETTING THIS E-MAIL ACTIVATION CODE, I TRIED TO FILL IT IN STEP 3, FOR BOTH OF THE COUPONS, BUT I COULDNT SUCCEED.AS THIS ASKS THE MOBILE ACTIVATION CODE AS WELL AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH I DONT HAVE ANY.
PLEASE ARRANGE TO SEND THE MOBILE ACTIVATION CODES FOR BOTH THE SCRATCH CARD COUPONS AND E-MAIL ACTIVATION CODE, SO THAT I MAY AVAIL THIS GIFT OPPORTUNITY WELL IN TIME.AS YOUR REDEEM INFORMATION SHOWS THAT, BOTH THE CARDS HAVE THE GIFT OF REEBOK TRAVEL BAG AND WRIST WATCH.

Yes! they charge 150 for the courier and the calls made to the 121 customer care number is being charged 0.50paise per minute. TRAI should step into this 121 call charges issue and do the needful so that calls made to the AirTel Customer care is not billed.

Come on, i dont think airtel would be making a huge lot of money by charging 50paise for 3 minutes. this is just a filtering mechanism to avoid unnecessary support calls. Earlier, one had to wait for 5-10 minutes to get to speak to a customer operator. All this is now past.
Genuine complainers do not mind paying 50paise, if it saves them 10 minutes of their time plus the same 10 minutes of battery can be used to make other important calls.

I am not sure about whether the gifts offered by airtel are genuinely for the value they mentioned. however if they use a good courier company then too they would be shelling out atleast 100 bucks for delivery.

For the rental of 799 and more. i think they still have best rentals compared to other true boradband players like tata indicom. Obviously we cannot and should not compare airtel with MTNL or BSNL as their customer support is poor or non-existant.
I totally agree with the above complaint, FREE means FREE. Just have a look at the quality of the watch and sunglasses they are displaying in the offer. It surely is not worth 150 and I'm sure will not last 150 days. I have opted for the wrist watch. Will let you guys know... how much worth it is ...

Airtel Broadband — airtel told that you will get a free watch of reebok . but going to be three month taking the connection they still not had given the watch.

my name is sameer alam. in month of august i took broadband connection. that time airtel told us that if you take our connection we will give you reebok watch of RS. 2999. free. as you take the connection.you have to pay only courier charges we told ok. but its going to be 3 month they not given us any watch. or even not called us about this. we are waiting thinking that they will give today or next day. but its too much of waiting..
my airtel account no is : 16036701
By airtel rules we have to get a gift as we have taken this airtel connection. so we prefer getting a cooling glass.

Are they actually allowed to charge us for talking to customer care? They have found a very convenient way to stop people from calling customer care unless they are desperate.
