The VSAT connectivity in following PLACES in TNEB are not working
Odugathur - ID - TNEB_172

Please rectify the defect

Few Days back(on 14 April 2011), Sales Executive from Airtel Company Came to home and explained about Airtel Apne Plan. As i was interested in it, i took that plan. He offered two sim cards and told me that it will be activated within two days. He also gave his number for futher contact but later i tried on that number but it was either swithed off or not in Service. Now that number is with Customer care, and they are saying that my documents are not Sumbitted. Also they are not giving me number of that Sales Executive.

So please help me.

Thanking you.

Reactivate the illegally deactivated 40 SIMS or pay heavy compensation in court.


20.4.2011

AIRTEL illegally deactivated 40 SIMS. Still after repeated promises, they fail.


Failure to mention such a vital condition on the Airtel Sim Cover, amounts to DEFICIENCY and NEGLIGENCE on Airtel part, which they could be prosecuted for in The Consumer Court under THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT,1986, demanding the heavy compensation for deactivating all the 40 Sims purchased by me and my family.

AIRTEL failed to print the vital warning on their Sims’ pack that if the Sims were not started being used in three months after the purchase, the buyer would lose all his money spent on those Sims.


BRIEFS
I and my family purchased 40 Mobile Sims of Airtel.
And on the cover of Sims, it was categorically written that the Sims have LIFE TIME VALIDITY, provided they are activated in three months after its purchase. And this was done by the dealer instantly before us plus was rechecked by us after reaching home.
Every Sim was found working with full net coverage. We categorically asked the dealer that all the 40 Sims could not obviously be used simultaneously and hence would be used one by one as the Sims would go on exhausting.
The dealer assured us not to worry about and pointed out the LIFE VALIDITY TERM PRINTED on the Airtel Sims covers.

NOW the bitter part started when we tried to use them, once the first Sim got over. The Sim failed to work. When enquired and followed up the matter, we got very irresponsible written reply from one Ms Smriti Saxena of Airtel that as the Sims were not started being used in three months after the purchase, they were deactivated.
What type of arbitrary, immoral and illegal action and reply we got from Airtel.

They say that under such cases, no correspondences shall be entertained.
They expect us to suffer thousands of rupees for these 40 sims and they deny in this way?
This is nothing but tyranny of Airtel and they must stop claiming that they care for their customers.

They say go to net and read the conditions.
I ask how many people go to the net and read hundreds of their conditions?
When they may say on the cover to activate in 3 months, they could have very well said simultaneously to start using too in three months. But they didn’t.

We will have to buy 40 mobiles to start using all these Sims simultaneously.
Do Airtel expect this from us? Of course no.
Then why did at all they sell and activate so many Sims with the same name?
This simply proves that they are only interested in selling their products by hook or by crook.

And when we lodge our complaint to them, they without looking at the MERIT of the case, the AUTHENTICITY of the case, simply prefer to cut off the clients’ throat by misusing arbitrarily their any ABCD net condition as a tool to go for such a daylight robbery, putting their customer into thousands of rupees loss caused by AIRTEL’s NEGLIGENCE and DEFICIENCY.

It seems Airel is leaving no other choice before us except taking up the matter first with hundreds of Consumers Grievances Forums available on net and then to take up the matter in the Consumer Court, the way the Customs Commissioner Mr. Deepak Kumar did for one crore against ITC., obviously at the risk and cost of Airtel for heavy compensation to harass us with Trauma and monetary loss in this way.

Hi


I was using [protected] Airtel service since June 2007 to Dec 2010, in
the month of November 2010 I got extra charged Rs. 900 for a call which
actually I have not made, the next day itself I called customer care
center and complained about wrong billing and asked them to stop
services and I stopped using that number.

I said that I am ready to pay the remaining bill exept the dispute amount Rs. 900

They discussed regarding this for three months and they disconnected
after three months.

Now harassing for the payment of three months for which I have not used
and calling all my relatives and friends 24X7 and harrasing for payment
of Rs.3000 and sending messages to all my friends and relatives contact
numbers saying as I am fraud damaging my reputation.

Even they have my new contact number and address and im in contact, they are contacting all my clients, friends and relatives and saying bad words.

First thig who gave the authority to use my call history and use those contact number?

PLEASE SUGGEST HOW TO PROCEDE LEAGALLY TO STOP THIS MENTAL HARASMENT AND HOW TO APPROACH CONSUMER COURT.




Thanks and Best Regards

DSL Number#[protected]. I am getting call to pay my next 6th month advance pay to continue my Airtel Broadband Connection which I already requested to disconnect/cancel in the month of March - 2011. Now, when I ask them to Cancel the same, they said that it is already renewed and cannot be disconnected/cancel no matter if I use it or not.
I don't understand why do I pay for next 6th month if I don't want to use it. I am ready to pay any outstanding bill for my previous internet usage.

Hi,

I am an AirTel prepaid customer with mobile number [protected]. I applied to migrate from prepaid to postpaid connection on 11th April 2011 (Monday) at
"BRANDSHOP INDIRANAGAR LOBBY
Ground Floor Salarpuria Landmark 2002 100 feet Road HAL 2nd Stage Bangalore 560038 LM Near Coffee Day Citibank ATM 560038
Bangalore".
I submitted all the documents that I was asked for and payed 300 Rs as deposit for postpaid connection.
The person at relationship center took 2 hours and verified all the documents. He gave me a new SIM card and told me that after 48 hours my new SIM will be activated. I conveyed to him that I have to leave Bangalore on 22nd April 2011, so I want this thing to be done before that.
He assured me that it will take at most 48 Hours.
I waited for a week but I received no communication from AirTel. This Monday (18th April 2011) I revisited same relationship center.
People at relationship center first didn't have any clue why it took so long for a simple P2P migration. Then they gave me old "technical problem" reason for the delay. When I tried to enquire about what technical problem they are speaking about I didn't get any clear answer. I was re-assured that in another 48 hours my post paid connection will be activated.
Today (20th April 2011) I got a call from AirTel person asking me to visit relationship center again because they need some signature from me until then they cannot migrate my connection.
I am a working person and it is really hard for me to visit relationship center again and again.
I am leaving Bangalore in tomorrow and it is really urgent for me to get this thing resolved.
Please do the needful.

Thanks & Regards,
Chetan

Bharti Airtel limited has done fraud with us they have been charged Rs.15 on dated 20.04.11 time 12.15 PM for event call without my knowledge and intention.I have activated DND (Do not disturb) services in my mobile no.[protected]. But they have debited my balance.
Its not a first time earlier they have charged for Rs.20 for mobile services but i ignore that. As as consumer i have not bear that type of loss again and again. So kindly reimburse my whole amount otherwise i am going disconnect your services in future and tell others not to take services of Airtel.

Here is sequence of activities

1. Few days back i request for Movies Now. CC people tell me to change dish position.
2. Airtel guy comes and we decide not to shift the dish as it is not possible.
3. 2 days later i get a call where they cancel my movies now request
4. Today afternoon my airtel TV is disconnected with only a error flashing on screen as
"There was an error during installation........Error code SM2"
5. I asked CC and they told that i have been migrated to new satellite. God knows why. But they tell me i will get all channels WITHOUT changing dish antenna position. I think he was bluffing.
6. He says that i need to keep my STB ON for 30 min. I do it (for an hour) but no resolution.
7. Still no resolution and no response from airtel presence.

I need resolution asap

my prepaid connection in not working since 19.00pm on date tell me the reason.
