Airtel — Refusing to downgrade Solitaire Postpaid Plans

I bought 3 Postpaid Mobile Connections from Airtel (2 Solitaire 1099 and 1 Solitaire 1599 Plan).

After first month bill, I requested Airtel to downgrade to Solitaire 999 Plan on ALL 3 mobiles.

Airtel Appellate emailed me saying that it is NOT APPLICABLE to my mobiles.

FYI, Solitaire 1099 does not cover Landline calls in free 4000 minutes. And my Solitaire 999 provides 2500 minutes free which cover all calls (landline, mobile, std).

I paid almost 650 extra due to landline calls on my 2 mobiles with Solitaire 1099 plan. And almost 800 extra for Solitaire 1599 because my usage will never exceed 2500 minutes (as provided in Solitaire 999 plan).

So every month almost I will pay 1500 extra to Airtel (18000 per year) just because Airtel refuses to downgrade to Solitaire 999 Plan.

When I took these connections from Airtel shop, the executives CLEARLY TOLD me that I can change to any plan of my choice later on if I find that usage is lesser or there is a better plan available.

After I made this request, I got confirmation in SMS from Airtel that my plan will be changed to Solitaire 999 on ALL my mobiles. Yesterday afternoon I got a call from an Airtel executive CONFIRMING that my plans have been changed and they will get activated in 3-4 hours.

Today I got an email from Appellate (which is the last level of grievance) saying that plans will NOT be changed because Solitaire 999 is NOT applicable.
FYI, Solitaire 999 is meant for Delhi / NCR and in terms and conditions also it is not mentioned that existing customers cannot opt for this plan.

Airtel as an organization is so weak and poorly managed that different teams, different people are making different commitments. As a customer what do I do ? Please provide any suggestions if you are reading this.

Thanks for your time.

Airtel Postpaid Services — Barring the outgoing call without doing correct Address verification and creating trouble for service

Dear Sir,
Recently I took two post paid Airtel connection.
For that Airtel will be doing address verification.
After activation of these connection, Airtel sent me SMS telling all outgoing calls will barred because of address verification failure.
I didn't receive any pre-call from Airtel address verification services cell regarding this.
Because of work pressure I mostly leaving early and going late to home.
This sudden mobile connection deactivation I am facing lot of problem.
Please take appropriate action on them.

But till today this post-paid connection is not activated on my number. Also when I as trying to contact both these guys they are not contactable.

Airtel — Deficient Service and Fraud

This is my third worst experience with Airtel Digital TV Mumbai Lower Parel Customer Care Department.
For Customer ID - [protected] in name of Mr Ankur Goyal.
On 27th Aug 2011 We placed a request for change of Ph no and Address of Mumbai as the person shifted to Mumbai and asked the executive to take request for installation in mumbai at given address - The address or no was changed not changed and on 29th we received a call from Delhi team that they are near my old address in Delhi to install the equipment what a idiocity and service.
On 29th I again placed a request for Installation in Mumbai with ticket no 11439853 and I was given time of 9.00 AM on 1st Sep 2011, where in I stopped al other schedules of mine and stayed back and waiting for the person to visit till the time I am writing this mail.
Morever local mobile contact [protected] given to me as well SMS me is always switched off.
Poor customer support continues, even after making 10s of call on 1st Sep 2011 and repeated follow ups with customer care and supervisords and repeated assurances no thing has been resolved and the worst part is no body is replying back or responding.
Above all it seems that your employees are totally irresponisble and fraud, Mr. Manoj who is responsible for reinstallation in Mumbai Mahim-Matunga area talked yesterday and promised he will revert back with date and time for reinstallation. Till this time I have not recived his call even when I called him on no given[protected] he put the call on hold and did not responded.
This is the worst experience with Airtel and I have decided not to avail any product or reomend any body Airtel in future
