Sir/Madam,
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. I have deactivate & unsubscribed your scheme's but you have not deactivate/unsubscribed the same. I do not want any your such scheme in future. So please note do not activate any your scheme on my mobile. My Mobile No.[protected]

Dear,

Sir
from few days my digital tv (airtel) is not working.The recive is not working and no signal is given by it.so i request u to solve the problem.

I am using airtel prepad connection from 3 weeks , i have taken 98 internet plan and activated from 2 weeks with macromax Q3 mobile set.
I need GPRS Settings, i called 50 times to customer care with my handset on 121, 12132, [protected] different numbers from 2 weeks but i could not talk with them ,because customercare numbers always bussy.
and in between days i called with land line number and customer cares could not give the proper informations.
what can i do?please solve my problems.

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.

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 want to draw the attention of viewers,am a service holder of Airtel mobile service provider since last 5 years.Now a days very often the customer care executives are behaving very rudely with their customers.Its very much insulting,that we are fond of that service but they are ignoring their customers.I want to mention the name of executives,like Mr.Parlay,et.all.We liked Airtel ,We will ,but please care your customers.

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.

In last 6 months, I am very much disappointed with the Airtel Billing
Department and Customer Care Executives and managers.

They are sending recovery agent to my previous Address.

Every time I have been receiving fake promises from customer care executives as
well as the managers, that if I clear my due amount, they will correct the bill
and adjust in the next month bill for Numbers [protected] and [protected].



Finally I have decided to change to a new connection from another service
provider. In previous Bills, I have already paid the amount which is more than
the Due amount.



I am approaching consumer court for justice againt the following losses:



1) Inconvenience caused to me and my husband due to the Stoppage of
outgoing calls and disconnection of Phone during my last months of pregnancy
when I badly need the phone with me for no fault of mine.

2) Mine and My husband¿s, Personal loss due to Stoppage of outgoing calls
and Disconnection of Phone for no fault of mine.

3) Mine and My husband¿s, Professional loss due to Stoppage of outgoing
calls and Disconnection of Phone for no fault of mine.

4) Inconvenience caused to me and my husband due to repeatedly calling
Customer Care for many months to correct the bills where there is no fault of
mine.

5) Inconvenience caused to me and my husband due to Phone Calls and
responses from Airtel Customer care using Insulting language.



I am warningyou to not to use any of my direct or indirect contact information
for Threatening Calls or any kind of communication which is not from AIRTEL or
from any other Legislative body.

Yesterday i purchased one airtel digital connection in Jaipur,and was told to pay in advance one yr rental for a better deal, I paid Rs.3850 and then after 4 hours the technician came and installed the connection . I am still waiting for the connection to be started.Thereafter no one from their side is picking any of their nos.

The name of the dealer is khandelwal communication and the height is that there call centrre has NO NUMBER available of any airtel official and instead gave the Jaipur's nodal officer's[protected]

This no is either busy or no body is picking the no thus one can clearly understand that they are not picking the no deliberately

Well, i bought Prepaid Airtel GPRS/EDGE USB Modem 12 months ago, it is Micromax branded huwei set and locked to Airtel network. for 2999 INR and 498 INR/ Month UL .... from a local reseller (R.K.Telecom - Jamui)
when i bought this crap, every thing went ok, download speed was pretty good and letency was ok as <= 900ms ... quite ok in wireless.

then the actual problem starts after 2-3 months.. speed slip down like hell, letency went >= 3000ms and RTO (request timed out) all the time. (dns i use to ping - 202.56.231.117, 8.8.8.8 etc )
i was not able to open even google.com or anything with netload 0% constantly.

i called 121, hell they refused to forward complain, called 7070 and they told me that there is no plan like 498rs/month, they even refused tht airtel providing prepaid modems.

but somehow i managed to get infos about nodal office (bihar). i got there number/name/mail address as below from 7070 customer care.
[protected]- atif rashid...
nodalofficer.[protected]@airtel.in

i called there, mailed there, after i think 15days they responded back with pathetic english...
they told me, "ur request has been taken and blah-blah."
well, i think they repaired it next month of september 2009... every thing went smooth for 1-2 month then problem arise back.... and after complaining till now, i realised they cant even speak english well. and i think they cant resolve the problem cuz either they lack skilled technician or there nodal is full of dumb people....

oh yeah, i also complained there appallete authorities, and i got only automated response....
such a crap internet service, it sometime is normal like now or down all the day forever,
illetrate customer care executive, unresponsive nodal officer, waste of appallete authority, lack of technical faculties - situation of the no.1 mobile service provider in india, think of other lol.
