Hi All,

I have applied for a new broad band connection on dated 09/06/11.

Its today 7days is over, But the instalation has not yet been done, when I raised an issue with the C-care, They are giving hundreds of reason for delay like. Copper not available, Port not avalable, Tech isue etc.

My wonder is, why did they accept my application if they doesn't have sufficient instalation requirements.

    Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

    My name is Roiden Serrao and my cell no is [protected]. On March 25, 2010 I recharged Rs.23 done towards night calling offer between 11 pm to 6 am in the morning. That is getting charged Rs.1 for 20 minutes of talk time. The recharge transaction ID -[protected] for Rs.23. I use to make a call on my wife's mobile number which is an Airtel number. However this plan did not work and I got charged more than what I was expected to get charged. I have not talked more than 17 to 18 minutes per call since I was using this plan in the past. I have also placed a complaint by phone twice or thrice but I have not got my refund back nor did the plan got updated on the my mobile. I don't understand how Airtel had charged me but has not given the service to me. I would like the night calling to be updated on my mobile and also the refund placed back on my card for which I was charged towards the calling which I have made more than two minutes after 11 pm till 6 Am. Please refund all the charges which I was charged in excess. My complaint number that I got from Airtel as on April 2, 2010 was [protected] / CBDPA[protected]. Please look into this complaint ASAP.

          Student — sir please start airtel online service

          dear sir
          this is dileep from karnataka. my request is please start the Airtel online as a monthly pack.because other company have alredy this service with low cost. the cost of GPRS in airtel is very high. daily we cant pay 20rps/day the GPRS cost is very high.normal people cannot use this service so could you please start GPRS service for mobile within 60-80rps per month. (my suggestion is put downloading charges extra.for browsing keep it as free)
          thank u sir/madam
          REGARDS
          dileep
          Could you share some more details with us here... I find your suggestion very true...

              I have taken a duplicate sim for mobile number[protected] on 19.09.2008 from Airtel Shoe Room, Sector-12, Noida(U.P).There is Mr. Sanjay Whose No is [protected], he promised that the new sim will be activate within 4 hours but till now that sim is not activate.

              AirTel — Didnt activate new SIM as per timescales given

              One of the worst customer service providers are AIRTEL there have so ad's about how big they business is expanding but when it comes to serving customers there are the worst. Worst are the people who work for the company have no answers to queries and not ready to take any Ownership just believe in passing the blame very conveniently. I had taken a new connection and was told that it would be activated within 4 hours by the dealer since it was friday i gave it some time but when it was not done on saturday i had called the company and was told by the associate that it takes 24 working hours and since that time is not yet passed to wait untill that time frame.

              Having waited for 24 working hours as of monday and no phone being activated, i called up customer care again and was told to wait before a complaint could be raised. Pathetic service being driven away rather then taking the blame and working on a resolution. Since i was leaving on a vacation i wanted the phone activated to carry it along with me. Called again and raised the complain was told that it would resolved with 48 working hours, still thought since i would be travellling when i actually arrive the phone would be activated by then. Called customer care again and asked for a supervisor who was fit for nothing Ms Sunitha rani, she spoke worse then the house keeping people that work at my office. No responsibilty no ownership nothing typical goverment working indian service. All that she asked me to do was wait untill the service failure would be resolved. She promised me a call back from her supervisor its been 15 days now and am still waiting.

              The phone was finally activated on the following week friday, failing there so called service failures that were raised, however with airtel the suprises still continued when i was called and was told that the phone was activated the very next itself.

              I sincerely request you people not to take any dealings with this company. You will be royally fooled.
              I am purchased Airtel Sim at Howrah at 9.30 P.M, Today 19.09.2009 above sim card vide No. [protected] not yet activated till time at 3.00 P.M . Pls see the above No, and activate as soon as poosible .
              Sir,

              I am an Airtel mobile subscriber. I had lost my mobile on 13 Jul 10 and applied for a duplicate SIM - as per the procedure - in the evening at around[protected]h. I was told that it would be activated within 12 hrs. However, even today - 14 Jul 10 at 1000h it is still inactive. It is hampering my operations significantly. On checking with your helpline, I have been told that it will now be activated by 1200h on 16 Jul 10. My complaint no for today is 33143802. I hope the executive concerned is held accountable and taken to task for this poor service since this is not expected from a company like Airtel in this competitive market. Also, can the activation be expedited please? Could u please let em know the disposal/status at my email id '[protected]@gmail.com' ? Hoping for an early disposal and reply.
              I am a airtel customer and i have many complaints on airtel
              1: no network is there in villages
              2: airtel offices are not available nearby
              3: cant tell complaints to customer care executives as they did not attend call
              I am Jose Mathews working in SBI and am being using airtel connection since 2006. Two days back I received an sms offering me airtel to airtel calls @ paise 10 per minute and i recharged with the required Rs 80 ec. That night I could call airtel @ ps 10 but from next day onwards all calls are charged paise 60 per call per minute which earlier was paise 50 only. I have called 121 and talked with the customer care executives different times and finally i received a reply sms referring a number CBNRA[protected] -may be a complaint number. Since no remedy is made till now even though the executive offered me to clear the complaint before 15/9/2011 12.45 pm, i tried to contact the executive through 121 number but my calls are not forwarded to customer care executives now. We, a group of prayer group members use airtel and i took the offer to have our evening group prayer through phone. Kindly look into the matter urgent and enable me the offer at the earliest and for the offered period.
              thanking you.
              Am sorry am Jose mathews and forgot to add my number it is [protected]

                    Iam a customer of airtel broadband service since 14 months.My transactions with airtel went on fine for the first 6 months after which there was no proper collection center at my place and we were left aloof about where to pay the bills.From then onwards the problem started,people from madurai used to instruct us to pay in some lacation in our native place after the last date.Still march 2010 there was no proper franchisee and there was lot many inconvenience in paying the bill.So we decided to cancell the connection,despite our complaints the company keeps on billing us every month even after disconnecting the line,claiming that our line is still alive.They also instructed us to send a cancellation email to [protected]@airtel.in,where within 24 hrs they shall process our request but even after 240 hrs there was no reply from them.Now I had received this month bill also,if i ask about their office whereabouts,they say some wrong address and lame excuses.I want to lodge legal action against the company,please help me.My cell no:[protected].

                      You are sending & activate your different scheme on my mobile without my confirmation and deducting your charges from my balance for the same.

So please note do not activate any your scheme on my mobile. My Mobile No.[protected]
                      you need your handset to be activated with Airtel Live, most of the Airtel SIM are preactivated with Live Settings if not contact the customer care for the settings.

                        respected sir,
                        since past few days i have been going through
                        mental stress due airtel prepaid service

                        that sir, i have purchased a sim on
                        04/03/10(airtel prepaid). All the necessary documents
                        were submitted. But a month later the connection
                        was closed there were no messages or calls from
                        customer care. i contacted the retailer and i was asked
                        to re submit the documents. i submitted again on
                        05/04/10. but yesterday i was told to buy new

                        sim as they would not be able to activate it.

                        that sir, i had quite a balance . i don't want to
                        buy new sim as it was not my fault.

                        i expect an urgent guidance from you

                                Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

                                I am a combatant member of Indian Air Force, presently posted in Bangalore. I purchased an Airtel prepaid connection and furnished my Pan card photo copy as my ID proof and my Address proof certificate duly authenticated by my Adjutant to the vendor. A week later, I received a message from Airtel that my Outgoing calls were barred as company failed to receive my documents. I inquired my vendor who said he deposited my documents with Airtel. I spoke to Customer Care service various times who gave me a dead fish response by saying they are not in possession of my documents. Meanwhile my Incoming calls also got barred. I submitted my documents again at Airtel outlet and I was assured there that my SIM card will be activated as soon as possible. After six hours my SIM got activated and I could make and receive calls for another five hours. Then suddenly my phone showed my Sim Card Registration failed. When I spoke to Customer care service I was informed that my phone number has been RECYCLED and I can never use the same number again. I am here in this city recently and I gave all my relatives and friends my number. Just imagine the agony of my parents and family members when they cant reach me on phone, leave apart the mental stress, humiliation and harassment of myself for no fault of mine. Moreover, the Customer care service is still giving me ambiguous reasons like my documents were inappropriate.

                                My complaint with Airtel is that if they found my documents inappropriate then why they accepted them in first place at the Airtel outlet and that too second time; and despite my asking several times "Are these okay?" they responded in a very positive manner. Secondly, if Airtel had issues with my documents, as they quote, then why they allowed me to use the services and terminated my connection abruptly? They didn't even show me the courtesy to inform me that I am the victim here. As I paid for the SIM card, got it topped up a couple of times, do I not deserve a decent redressing communication from the company?

                                I want my connection back and that too with the same number from Airtel. If, in any case, the company fails to provide me my connection back, I want back both the copies of my documents I provided them.

                                I am undergoing a lot of stress and harassment in the hands of Airtel for no fault of mine. Please help me redressing my grievance and put an end to my misery.

                                Airtel Prepaid Connection — Termination of service

                                Hi,

                                I am a prepaid consumer of Airtel for the past 5 years. The SIM card was initially under the name of a different person. Later, I transferred it under my name/address with all the necessary documentation support. About a month back, I received an SMS message stating that the actual owner of the prepaid mobile number and the Owner of the number are different and that Airtel requires documentation from me to ascertain that I am the right owner. I submitted the necessary documentation (for the second time) duly in an Airtel outlet.

                                After a week, I get a message again stating:
                                "In our recent audit, we have found that the actuaL Owner of this Prepaid Mobile number & the Owner of this number as per our records are two different people. The Outgoing calls on your mobile are barred, as we have not received your Prepaid Documents. To Continue Using Kindly submit your Documents at any Airtel Shop."
                                I called up Airtel customercare immediately to appraise them about my document submission and checked with them about the owner of the mobile in their database. The customercare executive confirmed that it was indeed me and said that I do not have to submit any more documents. I warned the customercare executive that such messages of termination to people who submitted the necessary documentation are uncalled for. I also cautioned that I would escalate this matter to the Consumer Redressal forum. But, to my horror, my connection was terminated this morning!

                                I am very upset with the turn of events. Can someone help me with an answer to this reckless state of affairs?

                                Thanks!
                                Anil.

                                AirTel — Termination of the prepaid connection

                                I am using the airtel no. [protected] (pre-paid connection) for past 6 years. During sevaral rechages, the validity was upto 10 Aug 2011.

                                I was using this number till 10th Feb 2011. Now they have terminated my connection saying that I didn't recharge it for past 3 months. This is not fair at all.

                                If the validity date is till 10th Aug 2011, then why I need to recharge before 6 months / 1 year ????

                                This is all their businiss. Since it is a very old number and it might have sold for huge amount.

                                Please DONT use Airtel. Go for Vodafone / Docomo.

                                  I m prepaid card customer of Airtel bearing no - [protected] & hv seen sometimes they were deducting the charges from incoming call also and i was just ignoring but recently they are charging almost from all the incoming call which i think it's a mal practice from their end which is one kind of crime as because the the incoming supposed to be free.

                                  If incoming call is free then the Co. have to take this matter very seriously & hv to stop this type mal practice immediately.
                                  I tool have the same issue with my number [protected]. I have complained to the respective authorities from Airtel and no action taken towards the same. I heard the similar issue with many of my friends . I have been following with Airtel since couple of months on this and looks like they are not interested in hearing to the customer issues. Have decided to switch over to other service provider
                                  Same problem here. I was finally able to register my problem (ref. no.CMOUD[protected]).
                                  I was charged for all my incoming calls, not just once but SEVERAL TIMES for EACH INCOMING CALL.
                                  Solve this problem immediately.

                                    i'm a holder of airtel moile no [protected] connection. i got call from your customer care center shilllong...around 13:19pm, date[protected]... the person who called me is a lady and her name according to her name is Ms. Parboli.

                                    I guess airtel customre should have little manner how to talk with the customer...the tone the way to convey the message is totally wrong...i know you all hv recorder when some one speak to a customer you should replay it and listen the way she speak.

                                    Do Airtel give trainning to there customer care executive or not???? No hospitality atall. Like this you'll loss your customer.

                                      Hi,

                                      I hav been charged, on my last bill, Rs. 1176/- for International calls to Africa, which I never made. When I called Airtel Customer Service, I was told that they cannot check if the call charges are incorrect and cannot raise a complaint as these charges were correct.

                                      When I tried to complain on 198(Airtel complaint toll free number) they said that they would not raise any complaint for me.

                                      Also, I asked them to Bar all international calls from my mobile but it was not done and I had to call again after 2 hours to get it done. Even after barring ISD calls, I am able to make international calls and Airtel is telling me that they have already barred the international calls from their end.

                                      Now, my unbilled usage is also increasing on a daily basis, even though, I am hardly making any calls from my mobile, let alone international calls.

                                      Today, they have registered a complaint at the Airtel Relationship Centre(Comp Nos# 31758529, 31758624,[protected]. I am still awaiting a resolution. I would be oblidged if someone can help me out in this situation as this is a first for me amd I am now being harrased by one of the biggest telecom providers in India.

                                      Thanks

                                        I have been paying my Airtel landline bills punctually on the due date by cheque for who knows how long. Now I find out from their customer care that if you make a payment by cheque the money is not considered paid till it reaches their account (i.e. you have to pay by cheque 2 to 3 days before the last date of payment) and you are considered a defaulter and charged Rs.75 for late payment every next bill every month. Multiply this by the million people who do not know this. I am not sure but in every other product, when you are given a last date, it means pay by cash or any other banking instrument. Apart from this they do not give receipts, even if you ask, so the executives cannot tell what is at stake. It may be mentioned somewhere in their 100+ terms where I did not notice it but in many other companies, executives give receipts and voluntarily tell you what is involved. Even the Airtel person tried to cover up this pinching of money by saying, they cannot tell if I will be penalized till the next bill and I was lucky to get the answer out of him. So I cannot agree that Airtel provides honest and the best services. But I have to stay anonymous as I still have to use their phone.
                                        good afternoon i am sachin from maidsco house keeping services we have airtel no[protected] .we paid the amount throw cheque no
