But no information have been received . Iam MISSING my impotant calls .

airtel/prepaid connection — talktime worth Rs 444/- not credited

With reference to mobile (No: [protected]) connection, i got a recharge of Rs444/- with full talktime done on 08th Jan, 10:20hrs through the local shopkeeper as an e-charge vide transaction id:[protected]. Immediately after I did get an SMS confirmation but never got the amount credited as talktime. Around 1400 hrs on same day I did speak with an executive at 121, he assured me of the needfu ithin next 08hrs as the problem was related Airtel traffic congestion. But i kept calling up the executives, they kept assuring me with no yield. On 10th Jan, when i spoke with senior officer, Vijay, he confirmed and regretted that my complaint was never registered with them. Hence, he gave me a new complaint No:[protected]. Since then i have been calling up the executives and senior officers, One of the officer Mr Kartik, even refused to acknowledge that there was a problem and sounded very rude.

Expecting a solution i kept recharging my avccount with lesser amount of Rs 100/- each (thrice) at a loss.

I even followd up with the locl dealer who onfirmed that the amount of Rs444/- has been deducted from his account and that in such cases it is the service provider who credits the amount bck to custmer.

I just hope that my voice is heard through this forum and necessary action is taken against the defaulters.


Thanks & Regards,

AirTel — Prepaid Recharge amount not updated

I recharged my airtel pre-paid number on the 6th of Feb through HDFC net banking.The money which is INR 500 was instantly debited.However the balance has still not been transfered to my mobile account. I am forced to charge my phone with additional amount just to ensure my normal and business dealings are not disrupted.
I have called the customer care and launched 2-3 complaints.I have been only given false promises and a few deadlines.Nothing has been done since the last 4 days.
I don't know it what terms should I describe thekind of service AIRTEL is providing.Iam at a loss of words.It is hoghly disgraceful and disheartening.I have not even received a courtesy call till date let alone anything being done to resolve the issue.
They take their consumers for granted however not anymore can things be taken lying down.
If nothing is being done, I will not be deterred to approach the consumer court.It is our money and time which is being squandered with, we pay for these services we better be given the due worth of it.
The latest complaint number that has been given to me is-[protected]

Airtel Prepaid — Recharging with new SIM

Hi everybody,

I am D.Ramaswamy, from Chennai and I lost my mobile phone with prepaid airtel SIM. When I contacted customer service help desk in Chennai, they verified their records and said that no such number and no such name exsisted in their records!!! I wonder how I was using this number for the past 2 years and recharged talk time so many times. Still funny, in their website, they gave one customer care number for Chennai - [protected] andwhen I contacted that number, I got a recorded message " NO SUCH NUMBER EXSIST".

Irresponsible customer care staff... D.ramaswamy.

Airtel / Prepaid Connection — Prepaid connection wrongly disconnected

Sorry to state that I am a regular user of Airtel Service Providers since last eight years, I am using airtel prepaid no [protected] since last 8yrs and landline no [protected] since last two yeras, but recently I was shocked to know that thiscompany failed to verify my credentials, I had purchase one new sim on my name, No [protected] and its SIM cost me Rs 200 and was recharged for Rs200 when it was activated for one day, since then it has been deactivated, I was shocked to know that even if we are bonafide user of this company even then the company made us a loss of Rs 400 plus mental as well as physical harassment . Needless to mention I had already complained at Airtel DLF Galleria market outlet in Gurgaon(Haryana) as well as at the shop from where I had purchased the unfortunate sim card. It seems as if company activated my sim for one day just to collect Rs 200 as recharge amount and the next day it was deactivated.

Airtel Prepaid Connection — NON ACTIVATION OF SIMCARD

Date:[protected]

Dear Sir,

I had opted for a AIRTEL Prepaid connection ([protected]).
The same was purchased form a Promotional Kiosk setup at Bhayander on[protected]. On Submission of the relavant documents the SIM was immediately activated.

On[protected] I received a SMS to submit the enrollment form with relevant documents to a nearby showroom and the OUTGOING calls was barred.

On[protected] I had again submitted an enrollment form with relevant documents at the AIRTEL SHOWROOM located at BORIVALI (west) Near MOKSH PLAZA. The representative collected the documents and said that the SIM will be activated by tomorrow (next day i.e[protected] morning.

It is almost evening of today[protected], but till now the outgoing calls are barred in the said SIM.

Today I got a call from Mr. Rahul (AIRTEL-DELHI) he said that the services are active, but when I checked the same message wass repeated that the Outgoing calls are barred (message is received from automated system in marathi language which is unable to be translated by me).

Then again I got a call from Mr. Rahul (Delhi-Airtel) that he had checked the same with Borivali Outlet. As the SIM is not sold from Borivali Outlet, there is no record and further he said that as it has been purchased from an promotional kiosk apart from the outlet it might not be genuine. So i replied him that if a person is selling an AIRTEL product, hemight not be of Vodafone or any other service provider, how he can't be genuine?

If this is the way they treat the complaint with lame excuses how to trust their services?

The only lesson I have learnt is never to go for AIRTEL connection further.

Nowadays promotional activities are carried out by AIRTEL with a slogan:-
" Get Assured Gifts with every New Connection"

But......

The GIFT is only further Headache (PARESANIYAN, TENSION[Mental Trauma])..... Bunk your work and visit AIRTEL SHOWROOM every now and then... but your service will not be restored......!


Beware of FRAUD AIRTEL SERVICES...

If any terrorist will procure a SIM card from AIRTEL promotional KIOSKS, AIRTEL will not take responsibility... as they don't even know who has sold their SIM cards......

RASTE KA MAAL SASTE MEIN...

AIRTEL KA MAAL PARESAANIYAN MEIN!

SO Not to opt for any AIRTEL Connection is my opinion....

Pls let me Know what further action can be initiated agains them.

Contact No of Mr. Rahul - +91-[protected] (DELHI AIRTEL)


If possible pls help with a solution.

Thanking You.

Regards

Suresh Nadar

The same is repeated again.

The services has been deactivated again...

This totally very poor service provider...

Airtel / Prepaid Connection — Customer Harassment

Hi,

I had taken a prepaid mobile last December 2009 and submitted all the required documents as per the DOT guidelines, proof of residence, Photo Identity proof & photograph along with the form and same was confirmed to me post a verification call before activation.

Again in May 2010, my mobile phone, after almost 6 months o[censored]sage was barred on account of documents not sufficient. Surprisingly this was realized by the Airtel after a long time (guess they were sleeping). Though being frustrated, I had no other option than resubmitting the documents again since I had circulated my mobile number to all the contacts. While I had submitted the documents, I was asked to purchase another SIM card since the earlier one was blocked and then the existing number was activated to the same with an additional cost of Rs. 150.

Again in September 2010, again my mobile phone was barred on account of insufficient document and some government drive. Again I went to the same Airtel’s office in Koramangala and resubmitted the document and this time insisted on an acknowledgment copy since last occasion I trusted Airtel as an organization by not this time. The acknowledgement Number is G54376 & APEF no. 21657705 which was handed over to me on[protected].

After September, 2 days back was the first time we got a verification call and same was cleared.

However today, without any reason, my phone is barred again, and the reason given verification mismatch. Surprisingly, when the Airtel deputed officers are checking the documents and verifying them against the original at the time of submission, are they just doing the activity for the sake of it? Why is a customer harassed? I need serious action against the organization for duping people and taking them for a ride.

My mobile number is [protected]

Priyanka/Ashish
