[Resolved]  Airtel Pre - Paid — Please don't use AIRTEL number for long term as they will disconnect the number in a while

Address:Salem, Tamil Nadu

Dear Rakesh Ranga(Airtel Customer Service Team)/Team

Thanks for response and find the attached mail send by your team after a big investigation.

Please educate your team to provide valid information for the customer in prior to avoid such confusions.

As i Experienced,

First when i contacted your team they informed to submit the document and it will be activated within 48 Hrs.

Second time when i contacted to your team through mail, there was no response (Please dont provide any mail in your portal, because they are not responding).

Third time when i contacted your team through my friends influence, they informed that this number is ready for next cycle allocation and i can retain the same number with postpaid connection.

Finally when i registered in customer complaint, then i got this mail ID ([protected]@in.airtel.com) through which i got the conformation that the number will not be ACTIVATED.

So i concluded not to use AIRTEL - BHARTI service for any more to avoid such confusions.

Request you to not to activate my number as i dont want to use the service which will disconnect in a while which was used nearly more than 5 years and i have not seen such a disconnection from other service providers.

Regards,
Senthil Kumar G

I have not subscribed for AirtelLive but still every now and then a message appears in my inbox which either says that "You have been renewed for weekly subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs.10." or, even worse "Thanks for using(Subscriptions, Text based services) subscriptionservice on Airtel WAP. You've been charged Rs20.Enjoy http://gclub.in.

Airtel Pre - Paid — Auto Activation of Services and Amount Deduction against it

Hi,

Again Airtel has activated services automatically and deducted my whole money with in 15 days of recharge without making a single call/sms. This happened earlier as well and I posted the complaint here and they credited Rs. 40 back out of Rs 100.

Since this is happening again and again, I request TRAI to take strict action against Airtel for following un-ethical practices for making money. I called airtel customer care 198 many times but always got a response that system in under upgrade please call after 4 hours. I tried to port the number and send a SMS for porting to 1900 but rejected.

Please do the needful ASAP.

Hey! What's going on? I got a call from Airtel executive but nothing is resolved till now. See said that Rs 10 will be credited back. I asked why Rs 10 out of 100? Then see told me that see will check and let me know.

Is this the way of marking the complaints resolved?

Regards
Vinay
Hi,

Is there anyone who can look into the way Airtel is marking the complaints resolved while nothing is actually resolved.

Airtel Pre - Paid — False Balance Deductions

After repeated reminders and calls at the Prepaid Customer Care of AIRTEL - They are deducting call money from my prepaid connection without my cell being in use for any calls, SMS and GPRS. I have not downloaded any stuff and they are charging. I am using Samsung Galaxy 551 (Android).

Pathetic Service and poor Response rate - I will strongly recommend not to use Airtel any further if this problem is not rectified and compensated to me next week.

Airtel — improper money deduction, wrong information

I am using airtel internet access through my mobile on my laptop for which i recharge with Rs.98 & get 1GB valid for 1 month. But after accessing internet, airtel is deducting money from my main account aswell from my dedicated account(internet). I called 121 they say call 12118 says call [protected] says call 198 all r airtel customer care nos, each time i call them i have to pay, so wrong information, some how or other airtel is making money.
198 register a complaint & says it will be solved in 2days, even after 2days i m facing the problem, I call 198 again they register a complaint, but i m still facing the problem. So nothing is impossible in India, these service provider like airtel,vodafone etc some how or other way they wiil cheat their customers, otherwise how r they going to pay their staff & make profit. No busines can be prfitable without cheating their customer.

AirTel — Deduction of money for service which I did NOT activate

Today morning I got a mesage from Airtel, the no was AD-54321, it said : Thank You for downloading Hungama Content game from Airtel, you have been charged Rs 10 for this service.

I was sleeping at night, so how will I activate this service? I got the message in early morning. Customer Care agents refused to refund the money.

Please take note, and Airtel- refund my money.
Money has been refunded. Thanks Airtel.

Please refrain from activating such services randomly in future.
Dear Team,

This is Senthil working in Bangalore, and i was using AIRTEL pre-paid number([protected]) for last 5 - 6 years when i am in Tamilnadu circle, now the number is out of service. I check with customer care nearly 21st August 2011 they informed me to submit the ID proff and required documents to AIRTEL dealers , i submitted the same in AIRTEL dealer near Saradha College in Salem(Application Number :[protected]. Then waited for few days and again as i check with the customer care they informed that the number was disable since the number was not in use for more than 90 days and the number was disabled from 1st August 2011.

But i had recharged the same number with Rs. 350/- on 16th June 2011 and finally i used the same number on 23rd july 2011for some outgoing and in coming calls while i was in Tamilnadu. Again i checked with customer care they informed that i can retain the same number with post-paid connection. I had mailed the same to [protected]@airtel.in but there is no response.

How the AIRTEL can directly disable the number without any prior warning like blocking the outgoing calls then blocking the incoming calls and they are making their business like this by blocking per-paid and informing the customer to change to post-paid?

Kindly provide me the valid reason why they had blocked and disabled the number.

Hi,

I faced similar problems with Airtel in Allahabad. My documents were taken. The Airtel team lost them. They asked again, meanwhile temporarily disconnecting my number. All my available prepaid amount was gone, THEY STOLE IT. Again, I submitted. A month later again my SIM card was deactivated. On inquiring, they said that I have not submitted my details. They again asked me to. The same thing happened. They again WIPED AWAY MY PREPAID BALANCE. In both cases when my connection was back, I was left with ZERO BALANCE. I went abroad for two and a half months. When I returned, I saw that my number has already been allocated to someone in Gorakhpur (I am from Allahabad). Now, the stupid Airtel people, they take all your details, email ID, permanent address, temporary address and what not. They did not even bother to intimate me that they are doing so. I have a connection from a rival company, they never deactivated my number. My number was [protected]. Now, when they deleted my number, they STOLE AWAY THE REMAINING BALANCE AGAIN. So, it was just harassment. I am in the way to create a website stating the fraud Airtel, Indiaplaza and few others are creating and never to BUY FROM THEM. AIRTEL's BEHAVIOUR IS COMPLETELY UNETHICAL, besides my SIM card was a lifetime SIM card and so two and a half months can't have done any harm.

QUIT AIRTEL.
