[Resolved]  Airtel — New sim card activation delay

Address:20, Sarakki Main Road,J P Nagar 1st Phase, Bangalore, Karnataka 560078, India, Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra
Website:airtel.in

I have purchased a new sim card from a local retailer located at Allied Complex, Sharifa Road, Mumbra in Thane District on 24th June 2013. The mobile number given was [protected]. I was been told that within a day the connection will get activated.

Now its almost 3 days still the connection is not been activated. Within these 3 days i have called many times to airtel retailer each time a get a different reply.

One says that the documents are not submitted other says we are working on it and other says that there is a problem with airtel system etc.

As long as I know that once consumer submitted the documents the connection will get activated within 24 hours in Mumbai.

I am requesting to the Airtel to cancel his airtel retail selling license as this action will discourage the other retailers from not complying with the airtel rules and regulations.

Airtel — Bad service and delay

My airtel broadband account no. is 16513850.
I have recently shifted apartment (within the same sector of noida). I had heard about bad customer service from airtel in transfer of connections, and I was not in a position of getting into all the hassle, so I decided to get my connection disconnected and go for some new one. After struggling for 3 days with the 121 on email and phone calls, I was able to raise a request for disconnection. (They didn't acknowledge disconnection requests on email, and disconnected the calls when u said u wanted to disconnect).
After 2 days, I got a call from airtel, convincing me to get the connection transferred. I told them my concern, and the person assured me that the transfer would be completed in 3 days. On this assurance, I agreed to convert my request from disconnection to transfer.
Since then, its 15 days already now, and I have not even heard back from them.
All my emails and calls are answered with 'your request is being worked upon. we seek your co operation in this regard'. I have insisted that the team should atleast contact me and give me the status if it is getting delayed for some reason, but they have no answers. I am loosing on my critical work, wasting time following up with them, but all in vain. And they will make me bear the bill for all this time they are taking too.

They simply say " technical team is working on this. I will record the next call made to customer care and file a case in consumer court with evidence if they keep showing such callous attitude and keep sending the bill despite of no usage at our end.

Airtel — delayed regarding new connection

I had applied for an Airtel Connection thru agent named : Dilip Kumar dubey, dated : 14/09/2011.
and this connection is for mrs. neena mittal
I have paid him Rs. 1750 vide cash thru receipt no 1697113 & CEF No. 2822419 dated 14/09/2011.
I was promised a connection within 5 working days. I have been calling airtel guys since then but no one is taking my calls. If I call from some unknown no. the call is answered and I am told that we are busy in a meeting and will be calling you shortly.
I immediately lodged a complaint to airtel customer care but to my dismay no one was ready to act. Instead I was told to go back to the agency and report my claim/complaint, as without the forwarding of a new connection thru the agency airtel is helpless.
I would here like to ask:
1. who has appointed these agencies to work for airtel?
2. Isntairtel responsible for the deeds done by theses agencies.
Now I am left with no solution but to knock the doors of consumer courts to get relief.
I would request airtel, the last time though, to look into the matter urgently, else I would left with no option but to file a case for forgery and cheating.

My phone no : [protected] and address is H-4/16, Sector-11, Rohini, Delhi-110085
I am enclosing the proof of the above :
Please provide me the best way as soon as possible
