Hi all..,

*****Airtel's False rates on Ratecutter packages. and Worst treatment..******

I went to one of the Regular Agencies where i top up my Airtel account.
I have had to call dubai very frequently , that i enquired about Ratecutter package.
The Airtel Leaflet (authorized) showed 1.2 paise/sec for a 14 rs/- package.
I wondered that's a good offer comparing to older packages which i used
for 44 rs/- for international calls. I topped up by 350/ rs for full talktime offer.
Unfortunately for me all my money has gone . When enquired the agent had no clue.
and asked me to enquire with the customer services.
The worst ever treatment is I was treated like an illiterate on enquiry.
They asked how on earth will you get 1.2p /sec for dubai calls.
it's 12 paise they said. I told them , then why have you given it as 1.2p/sec.
They said..even if its given like that, i should have had used my brain., while even
local calls doesn't come in that rates. I asked them the way to lodge a complaint.
They gave me a nodal office number..The guy who answered my Query was decent
and asked me how much did i top up and i would be given refund, if i can
send a scan copy of the leaflet in the mail. and Asked me not to go for consumer court
and they would sort this out with refund, and correct their mistakes.

On sending the below mail....They called me after 2 days..
and said that They would refund me 14 + 14 = 28 Rs/- , The rate cutter amount.
I was shocked and asked them why then i will spend 20 bugs on scanning your poster.
They said they'll escalate this and let me know if i recieve anything more..

I wonder how this kind of treatment is given to a learned customer like me..
I terribly felt embarrased, cheated, and fooled , and thought i should have gone for consumer court instead.
I lodge this as a complaint for the sake of those uneducated people in india and my state.
I wouldn't spare anything more than this, as i lost trust on their action., and the way they try to fool us around.
It makes us feel how cheap we are for them..,

I am also attaching the Airtel Poster here..check those rates.


Mail content:
With Reference to our Telephonic Conversation on the complaint
on airtel dubai ISD package. The package was wrongly given
in your leaflet as 1.2 p/sec, believing this which i lost all my topup amount
for last couple of months.

On contacting the Airtel Customer services in 121, I was given sloppy and Disgusting answers
and They treated worst like i am an illiterate.

I Usually top up at your dealer's store near Golden Flats, Mugappair, Chennai - 600 037.
Attached your leaflet scanned which also shows decimal values
for other rate cutter package like US. Please check it.
even Your Recent leaflet updated in January'12 also shows same figures.

Hope you'll do something about this mistake,
or I shall I proceed with other processess.

      Airtel has charged me Rs 5 for a local SMS when I inquired they said that I have sent an international SMS and gave the last 4 digits of the number I gave them the full number and also old them it is one of the local real estate agents. Now they keep quite and do not answer. I have asked them to credit amount of Rs 10 (for two SMS). Just for Rs 10 they are playing cheap games I hope they mature in business and do not rip off customers. Now they send an SMS saying the issue has been resolved. They know that Indian law is not strong so they are exploiting innocent genuine citizens of this country will we ever get justice or just get ripped off as it is happening now.

        Dear Sir

        I have activated hello tune on both my mobile numbers.

        Now the purpose of a hello tune is for the caller to listen to a good song or some good music.

        What is happening in my case (and also in case of several AirTel users) is that many a time when any caller calls me on both my numbers what they first hear is agle gaane ko copy karne ke liye star dabaye... or agle gaane ko sunne ke liye... and then the song.

        My simple request is that I WANT THE PRE-SONG PART MENTIONED ABOVE PERMANENTLY REMOVED and whoever calls me should directly hear the set song.

        It s a very simple request...kindly do the needful.

        Please call me on [protected] for any clarification.

        Regards
        Vijay Shekhar

I urge you to kindly expand the choices and add atleast these popular songs to the database.

        Thanking you.

          Dear Sir,
          I am Mukesh Sachdev. I am using Airtel Mobile Services with GPRS. I am having GPRS renewable scheme every month.
          So I was surfing net even on last date of scheme. But After 12:00 am. Airtel deducted 105 Inr. from my account without any Warning.
          Airtel didn't even warned me that its your last day of GPRS or for renew you should not have use GPRS for an hour.

          For that I complained to Airtel on 11/2/2012 for refund of this deduction they denied, but anyhow they registered this complaint.
          They promised me they will call me back till 14/2/2012 but they didn't. And when I called on 15/2/2012 they didn't responded me well.
          They behaved very rudely & now even after holding a call for 15 min. they are not transfering a call to Supervisor. I have recorded the calls for the proof if can be helpful for you..

          I hope that you will defenately help me for this..

          Thanks...

          Airtel — GPRS - Wrong charges

          Dear Sir/Madam

          I am user of airtel postpaid connection and got activated GPRS and they have charged me wrong, which is not possible to download in my phone and they agreed for the same in writing to me. Contacted every channel like 121, nodal officer and applet authority but every one is saying that bill have generated correctly. How it can be possible that when i can’t download 662 kb in 6 Second and they are charging the same. Made many complaints but they have not reverted on time. They disconected my phone while they were doing checking process. I have written proof with me. Last month i discontinued the GRPS but this month also they send me the GPRS charges; which i haven't activate. I am having all the mail exchanged between us. Please advice.

          best regards
          Shivraj

          Airtel — Wrong GPRS Charges

          AIRTEL LIVE was somehow activated on my POSTPAID NO. [protected] WITHOUT PRIOR INFORMATION and WITHOUT my knowledge. I am sure this must have been done intentionally to levy charges on my phone account.

          I HAVE NOT USED the phone for any services while i kept on receiving some random messages which said i had received some information or i have subscribed to some service. When i tried to even unsubscribe some service, then i got message of wrong code, server down and received further links to deactivate subscription, which never worked to deactivate the service. They levied some 300 per month of subscription charges and more than 6,000 of data charges, which i am still figuring out what it was. They say i have made some 1300 hits, which i am not sure which hits.

          I HAVE NEVER AUTHORIZED THEM TO ACTIVATE ANY SERVICE WHATSOEVER AND NEVER ASKED FOR ANY DATA SERVICES OR DOWNLOAD. I DON'T KNOW WHY OR HOW have they arrived at such charges.

          THIS IS RIDICULOUS and a MALPRACTICE BY AIRTEL TO EXTORT MONEY FROM THEIR POST PAID CUSTOMERS.

          In fact i wanted to convert this no. to PRE-PAID when i was relocating from MUMBAI, but they said they have MIGRATION plan which will cost 100 Rs, per month and all INCOMING CALLS will be FREE under this plan. I opted for it, because they told me a VERY TEDIOUS process for conversion of NO. to PRE-PAID no. and were hesitant to do that. NOW, they have PUT charges of 7,000 Rs. in a MONTH !!! Thats why i think they wanted to keep the no. as POSTPAID.

          THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD Practice OF LEVYING WRONG CHARGES by AIRTEL.

            Address: West Bengal

            I was using Airtel post paid no [protected] since October 2009. I was receiving the monthly service bill from Bharti Airtel at my residencial address and these were paid in time. Recently due to change in my usage pattern and to monitor closely the call usage pattern I requested for change of the billing from post paid to prepaid on 6th February 2012 at Sun Telecom ( Airtel Customer care centre at Jodhpur Park Kolkata ) after payment of full bill amount for the billing cycle period ( 06.01.2012 to 05.02.2012 ) in cash and submitted required documents ( copy of my Passpost and a copy of my photograph ).

            I was given a SIM and was advised that it will take two days for completing formalities and varification and I should insert the SIM recharge with Rs.48.00 by 9th Feb morning. The customer care in Sun Telecom had received all the documents and checked but did not give any receipt and insisted that I should not put the date anywhere as it will be dated when the SIM will be activated.

            Accordingly the SIM was activated by RC 48.00 and the power recharged by Rs.30.00. I got my SIM activated and using for last 5 days .

            Now suddenly I find that " services to my phone have been burred due to non submission of required documents". As there were no contact number of there Customer Care / Sun Telecom , Jodhpur park , when I visited there office ,it was closed.

            Tomorrow I am visiting out of station , I wonder how the matter will be taken up. What I understand that this is the usual service attitude of Airtel after you switch over from post paid to pre paid.

            Can you please help me out.

            Regards,

            Further to my complaint on 14th Feb, there was a call from Consumer care dept of Airtel and after explaining once again my plight she expressed that as they do not have the contact number of Sun Telecom, they would not be able to find out why they have not sent the documents submitted by me and I should visit their RC to find out why they had not sent the documents.

            In fact because of service barred my wife could not inform me the medicine required urgently by my aged father.and after hearing such thing I could visit Airtel Relationship Centre by 8 pm only to be informed the copy of document ( my Passport dated/issued on 22 November 2001 vaild upto 21.11.2011 applied for renewal/fresh PP on 21.11.2011 File no CAL I[protected] is treated as invalid documents hence the service was withdrawn.

            What we understand that the purpose of residential proof is that the SIM is issued to only the person whose identity has been established/ varified.

            Now having used Bharti Airtel service as post paid customer with the same permanent & present residential address for last 52 years ( at least 10 years as they can find from the copy of my passport ) I wounder how they can treat the above document not valid enough to establish my residential proof or my identity.

            It is highly regretted that when these mobile service providers are going out of the way to get customers in their fold they are absolute senseless to appreciate the genuineness of their existing customers who wants to be with them and not opt for number portability to switch over to other good / better service providers.

            This is only to draw their attention to their inaction .

                Dear sir,

                kindely want to inform you that i had requested for porting ( porting ID is AZ 362989) ON 10th Feb.2012. but airtel customer care client contacted me and requested to cancel portal request and promised me to activate the plan where airtel to airtel call rates will be 10 paisa per min and airtel to others will be 20 paisa per min. On conditions that activate my plan first and refund my Rs. 50 first which were deducted abruptly by activating unnecessary services without my permission (on my mob. no [protected]) i told to keep my no. in airtel . But steel to date 14th Feb.2012 no action being taken on and no refund being made and cancelled my porting request. I am facing sever problems from airtel customer care service and thinking that false promise being given and they are cheating me.

                KINDLY DO THE NEEDFUL AND TAKE NECESSARY ACTION.

                THANKS.

This shows how the Airtel has dropped its standards and i feel like to quite out of the network.

                    sir,
                    I have purchaged dth in aug 2009 with two months free super value package. taken two top-ups for which recharged 150/=::::::.On 10oct 2009 i have recharged 1265/= & informed customer care that i have deposited money for one year super value pack and balance of money for my two top-ups . but my balance deducted on daily basis and stoped services in 7.5 months only. when asked customer care they said your pack is not locked for one year and in nov.2009 srar gold channel also connected in my pack for which i have never given order. please look in my problem and rectify soon. thanks my customer ID [protected] and my contact no [protected].
                    It was 9 pm in the night and I get a message from Airtel 54321: thanks for downloading Defender from Airtel, you have been charged Rs 99. Point 1, my balance came down to Rs 30 at a time when I wanted to talk home about some serious issue and point two I hadn’t downloaded any such . Why do u harass customers like this in the night when 1 cant recharge the mobile too. The customer care people were highly useless. Rs 100 matters to people who leave a meal sometimes to save something extra, though it means not a penny to Mr Bharti Mittal.

                    I’ll certainly discontinue this Connection, but somebody ought to teach Airtel a lesson, as this is not the first time this has happened.

                    U make life miserable everyday,

                    If they don't do this ... They are not Airtel. Nowadays, its very often and I guess, every prepaid customer of AIRTEL and VODAFONE must have experienced this game of these GSM giants. In addition, when you raise respective complain to customer care and ask them for a reason, those stubborn fat guys ( Gov Babus are fair enough to say I WILL NOT DO) never listen and keep on arguing that "OUR SYSTEM" (Which is always down or under technical maintenance whenever you need details) says you downloaded la blah blah game or song or jokes etc. etc.

                    Between, moral of the story. These guys should understand that customer have competitive choice now. Let the no. portability to arrive and see.

                    After 5 years on airtel, finally, I switched to TATA DOCOMO... Airtel is just to receive calls. Instead of wasting your time to make them listen, you should also look around for options in your state.

                    AirTel — Wrong deduction of balance by the airtel mobile service provider

                    Dear Sir
                    I am a subscriber of a Air tel and my mobile number is [protected] and I had received a massage from 543211 and6780 on 02.12.2010 stating that the collar tune has been set in my mobile and for this reason Rs 10/- has been deducted but I never opted for any caller tune. After I received the same I tried to call the customer care center of airtel for lodging my complain but unfortunately instead of my several try I could not connect the customer care and the automatic voice caller after informing that the customer care executive is being connected and disconnected the phone about 4 times.

                    I am not at all interested to have any caller tune in my said number and neither I had opted for it, please arrange to refund my money which has been wrongly deducted from my main balance.
                    please see the matter as it is a seriour complain and wrong way to earn money by the service provider.

                    With advance thanks for refunding my wrongly deducted money from my main balance

But till date no such service is activated on my No.[protected]...My Balance has also been deducted regularly for the messages sent through my no..kindly look into the matter and activate message pack on my no and also return the balance which was wrongly deducted..

                    I, Aditi Dubey, subscribed to the 2 Gb pack of airtel for internet services. When i accessed internet via my phone, I got a message depicting the bytes consumed, followed by balance deduction. All my efforts to contact the customer carer executives failed, and the company did not pay heed to my mails. I lost more than INR 30 + INR 98 due to airtel's sloppy service and customer policies. Kindly help.
                    I am Anshuman. My no is [protected]. I have been using Airtel for last 5 years but never have been cheated like this. Previously it was working as 1ps per 1 sec. But since last 10/15 days it is working as 1rupee per 1 min, in fact 1rupee for 1 call even if it isn't 1 min. More interestingly when I am calling customer care it is guiding step by step & finally in last step it is listened something like this "THANK YOU FOR CALLING US" & the call is ended. Some of my friends are also facing the same problem.
                    Great Idea AIRTEL for cheating!!!

                    AirTel — wrong registration and money charging

                    i am a hard core customer of airtel pre paid service....today i got registererd for some chat with movie star without my doing the same ..the money was charged from my ac without my assent or info........i strongly recommend airtel to all since me n my family have have never had issues but this is too much...there is no way i can speak to customer service of airtel since they never come online.....
                    I have an airtel connection, [protected]. Today at around 1:50 AM airtel started charging me for usage on "airtel live". Till then my brother had just checked out his mail through my mobile but when he saw these messages he messaged airtel to stop "airtel live" on my mobile. Just as he was done with the message airtel started charging exorbitant amount for "airtel live" service and within seconds I had lost a balance of Rs. 250!!!!

                    When my brother called up Airtel customer care he was put on hold for 10 minutes and then his call was disconnected. The second time he got a representative, Shravan Kumar, who point blank refused to provide us any sort of id for either of the conversations and my call got disconnected again because of low balance.

                    I tried calling them thrice from another number, [protected]. All the three times my call got through and all I received from other end was silence so this way they charged me another Rs. 1.50. It was a totally disgusting scenario which just reminded of one word "bully".

                    At around noon my brother went to Jayanti Bazar Branch in Jaipur where the airtel representative rudely said,"... bohot achcha hua... yeh le phone aur baith ja udhar kursi pe..." My brother somehow kept his cool and talked to the customer care representative on the other side of the line. To his astonishment he was straight away refused a refund on the pretext that he was browsing on internet when airtel charged him the ridiculous amounts which totalled over Rs. 200. Not only that but the supervisor told him that its no use sending a mail to the nodal or the appellate officer and that we should complain to TRAI.

                    This is ridiculous and I have nowhere else to go. I feel I have been cheated out of my money. Please help.
                    baseless reasons for deduction of balance

                    my balance of rs. 40 was deducted on two consecutive days...on first day it was 21 and other day it was 18
                    when i called up airtel customer care, the executive didnt had a reason why is it deducted and said it is due to internet surfing, whereas i do not use internet from my phone. when i told them to connect to their senior executive, my call was put on hold fr 10 min and disconnected after that.
                    next day i again called them but same thing happened.i tried calling again and again so that someone should atleast listen to the complaint. finally harmeet sandhu got connected, he started giving internet usage as the reason and when i asked him about the details, he told me wrong timings o[censored]sage and said we cannot provide much information. somebody please tell me how to get my money refunded because i am very sure that i did nt used internet from my phone.
                    Moreover airtel employees do not have etiquettes about how to speak to their customers, either they are blank or give stupid reason for any problem rather than giving a productive solution to their customers.

                    if i would have the power, if would have sued Mr. Bharti Mittal by publishing these many complaints in a leading newspaper so that he could realise that he is nothing without his customers.anybody please google search about the percentage of complaints, airtel has the highest because of such wrong practices.

                    Airtel — Wrong Money deducted. No information from the Airtel

                    I had recharged mt mobile with an ISD tariff. According to that my call rates should have been Rs.1.99/min- UK and Rs.4.99/min- Australia.
                    Instead Rs 10 per min were deducted. I logged an complaint with the customer care. NO ACTION TAKEN. Again I made a call after confirming from customer care after tariff details and Again Rs 10/min were deducted. THIS TIME again NO RESPONSE FROM CUSTOMER CARE. I called up their zonal office, again no response.
                    It is simple a fraud by the airtel company.

                    Sir my no is [protected] airtel prepaid no. today company deduct my 150 rs main balance without my permission so i want to refund this balance..
                    I have an Airtel Number around a month ago my service provider wrongly charge and deduct my account balance. When I register my complain they refund half of half money when I again tried to register my complain they didn&#039;t pick my call. sometimes they transferred my call to some unrelated department ( New number verification department). so it is requested to take a suitable action against them. they also blocked customer care number from my cell number.

                    I got my phone recharged for Rs.102, this provides you service to access 3g data from your phone for upto a 300 mb usage for 28 days. My current data balance as on[protected]:48 PM) is 1.26 mb and expired on Feb 25, 2015. In spite of remaining data balance in my account, I was charged Rs.39 from my main balance for using 3g data on my phone. Ms. Sapna Dutta, Senior Supervisor from Airtel West Bengal customer care talked to me and conveyed that they can not refund the amount in very rudely and in an unwilling state to help.
                    Wrong deduction of balance from account on 12 Feb, 2015 against 3G usage. My 3G balance as of 12 Feb, 2015 8:00 pm was 1.26 MB before which deduction had started from main balance. Contacted customer care several times, talked to Senior Supervisor, she was in an unwilling state to help.

                      I have two numbers of airtel : [protected] and [protected]. I have requested to port out both numbers in idea. But airtel is rejecting my request on no basis. The reason they are giving me is CUG is activated on my numbers. These numbers are corporate connections and CUG is activated on both. They are also telling that i have an agreement with airtel. But i didn't signed anything and there is no agreement associated with my numbers. I talked to my company representative of AIRTEL and he told me on basis of CUG airtel can't reject your request.
                      I have mailed to nodal officer as well but got no reply. Why airtel is bothering me on number porting. I want my number to port out anyhow.
                      Look into this matter and accept the request. Airtel customer care is keep calling me and suggesting plans and they call me 3 times a day. It is very irritating and if airtel is not going to accept this port out request then i am not going to pay my bills and will stop the service on these numbers.

                          I bought the 3G dongle data card number [protected] on Sept 22nd 2011. I had subscribed to the 5GB free usage plan as a special offer for Rs 675 monthly rental.....however, things went horribly wrong....i never got the free usage....instead they applied the pro-rata billing from 22nd Sept to 30th Sept and sent me an inflated bill of Rs 4376 for a span of 8 days.....the sales person Mr.Prabhakar gave false commitment and sold the dongle saying i will get free usage....

                          Airtel thinks it is its divine right to bill people on pro-rata basis...which means none of the offers apply.....had i known this., i wuldnt have booked the data card in the 3rd week of Sept in the first place......this is nothing short of fleecing....and since then they have been on my heels for the money....which after a lot of pain, hurt and consternation...i have paid......and now they are shamelessly giving open threats of litigation, goondagiri over the letter sent by post....nobody in airtel wants to address my concern but they want their money badly....no wonder their profits have fallen 18% and god wwilling, it will continue to fall.....since even in the customer care, there is so much dissonance for a start.....nobody knows the correct customer care number for the 3G dongle....they make you go around in circles until you land up in the airtel technical services dept....who obviously do not have a clue about billing but are totally unwilling to help benign people like us with a simple query about the customer care number for the dongle.....

                          To top it all, there is no 24 hr customer care number for this stupid service....they have a daytime number and they expect everyone to call them between 9 to 6 as if we are jobless and we dont have anyother work but to call airtel during these hours.....

                          They ask me to pay the bill on visabillpay and then the payment gateway does not work.....something for the CHENNAI SANTHOME OFFICE TO THINK ABOUT AND NOT BRAZENLY DEMAND OUTSTANDING MONEY AND MAKE CLAIMS LIKE FIELD VISITS TO THE HOUSE WHICH NEVER HAPPENED....IF ONLY IT HAD HAPPENED, THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT...

                            Airtel DTH complaint
                            I have a DVR connection and a normal connection.
                            Last year in on 12th Mar. ’11 I had asked for the connection to be temporary suspended for 6 months from the 30th of Mar ‘11
                            On the 30th Apr ’11 I got a msg that my balance was zero. When I called back I got to know that you’ll were still deducting a daily charge even though the call was registered. I was promised a refund of Rs. 325.
                            Also I had registered another complaint that the Rs 250 cash back for the DVR connection was not given to me till date and was promised a total of 325+250=575 Rs.
                            I followed up in May June, Aug ‘11 and on the 11th of Feb’12 and till date the money has not been refunded.
                            In May ‘11 I spoke to the customer care (CC) executive for 35 mins and was then called back by the backend person to confirm the details of my claims. I spoke to him for 1.5 hrs and he agreed to refund the money to me in a week’s time.
                            In June I spoke to another executive for 20 mins explaining the whole thing and she promised to get the refund done. And it is still not done till date.
                            In Aug I called once again and after explaining the whole details, the lady executive in CC had the audacity to tell me that what I was claiming for was not true and how do we know you did not use the TV. After a 30 mins discussion she agreed that my inputs were correct but had to talk to her supervisor and till date has not come back.
                            On the 11th of Feb’12 I called the CC and the person refused to log a call and give me a ref no but said that the backend person would call me in 2 hrs. After a lot of insistence from my side to get a ref no he still refused to give me a ref no. Even though I told him that I did not get responses from your team for all the earlier calls.
                            Today I spoke to Raj for 10 mins an explained the problem to him and he put me on hold for 5 mins and did not call back. I then spoke to Sridhar and asked him to connect me to Raj since I was already talking to him. He could not and nor was there a call registered. After talking to Sridhar for close to 20 mins who was taking down my complaints and after telling him everything the call was disconnected. (I feel that the calls are being disconnected purposefully to avoid taking the complaint). I then called back and asked Sanjay to connect me to Sridhar he said that it is not possible and that Sridhar has not registered anything even though I spoke to him for close 20 mins.
                            One no one has any references of all the calls I have made till date which means we are just talking to the walls and Airtel is taking us for a big ride.
                            Two, a complaint logged half way is not being logged and a reference no is not being given.
                            I need to know if I am getting a refund and also why my calls are not registered.

                              Respected Sir,
                              It is stated that I am a user of Airtel mobile no. [protected] about last six years. I have tariff recharge as per details given i.e. SMS send by the mobile company:
                              “RECHARGE SUCCESSFUL on[protected] at 09:4AM. Talk time Rs.10.00 MRP Rs.40.00. trans ID [protected]..All Local-Std 40p/min. val 30 day.(Sender:ERecharge)”
                              But it regretted to say that after that all calls charged at Rs. 00.60 per minute instead of Rs.00.40. I talk to customer care on the same day i.e. on 06.02.2012 at about 11:45AM, after talk to executive about 11+ minute. But the same has not been corrected by the company up to 08.02.2012.
                              A SMS received from the company on 07.02.2012 as details given below:
                              “As per your request no. CBDCC[protected] There has been no invalid depletion of balance on your airtel mobile. Amount has been charged as per usage”(Sender:AE-Service)
                              After that a call received from service provider as per details given below.
                              “Rs.2.2 has been credited to your Airtel mobile on 08.02.2012.” and call charges corrected by the service provider.
                              But it is regretted to say that above said money i.e. Rs.2.20 has not been credited in my main account till now.
                              Yours

                                  This is to bring to your active notice a serious case of gross negligence that has adversely hampered our business for the past many days.

                                  Since 21.01.11 we have been trying to get the outgoing of our official land line number open. There was a past payment dispute and we had been in touch with AIRTEL back end team who approached us. The entire due payment of Rs. 3,42, 686/- was paid to AIRTEL along with complete details. However, the credit of the said Rs. 3,42,686/- was not provided to our company KAEFER Punj Lloyd Limited and was instead credited to some other parties without any reasons whatsoever. Based on this input by us on 13.01.12 we got a verbal assurance that AIRTEL shall look into the matter and revert back after a week time. After expiry of the said week, AIRTEL requested us for more time.

                                  We are shocked that without any prior notice/ forewarning outgoing of our official phone number[protected] has been barred with effect from 20.01.12, thereby adversely effecting our business working. Regarding the current bill payment, it would be pertinent to mention that when the bill for the period 2nd Dec, 2011 to 1st Jan, 2012 was presented for payment duly we prepared the cheque and handed it over an AIRTEL representative, Mr. Raj Kumar who usually comes to our office to collect our payments against our Company’s monthly Mobile Bills. The said AIRTEL representative took the aforesaid payment in form of a cheque from us and told that he would drop same in the office drop box. It is evident that, due to reasons strictly attributable to AIRTEL procedures the said cheque was lost and, therefore, the payment was not credited to our telephone Account maintained with AIRTEL. Later, on AIRTEL insistence and disregarding the lapse in service procedures we reissued a cheque.But to utter astonishment we came to know both the cheques have been credited, despite amounts has been credited as per your procedures ; AIRTEL authorities even after repeated reminders have deliberately and inappropriately have not reinstated the outgoing facility to the aforesaid phone number of our Company. To our further disappointment; whenever we are contacting AIRTEL, we are told to clear some dues allegedly pending payment to AIRTEL as per AIRTEL’s accounts and only after the said alleged dues are cleared AIRTEL shall restore back the outgoing service to the said phone number.
                                  In view of the fact that the aforesaid phone number is used to facilitate our business across the country, the stoppage of the outgoing service has adversely impacted the business and continues with every working day the same facility is not restored. Needless, to say this is a case o[censored]ndue harassment to pressurise us to extort some undue monies from us which is beyond reasonableness. We have approached various levels of authority in AIRTEL but to no avail except pure assurances which has not translated into anything tangible. We are disappointed that this unprofessional and cavalier attitude of AIRTEL has left us aggrieved and we suffer in our business management.

                                  We hereby finally call upon you to restore the outgoing facility of the aforesaid phone number immediately failing which we shall be left with no option but to explore alternative measures to resolve the matter.

                                  Airtel — Unilateral barring of services

                                  I wish to bring to your notice the following:

                                  • I have been an Airtel subscriber bearing mobile number +91 XXXXX 29229
                                  • I had submitted all my documents as required by Airtel. There has been no change in my address during the past five years.
                                  • I have lost my phone on a few occasions during the past five years & have submitted a new set of ID proof, photograph to procure a duplicate sim card as per the procedures laid down by Airtel, the last time being February 2010.
                                  • I had received SMS from Airtel during the year 2007 & again in Oct 2009 for submitting a copy of documents “to enjoy continued service” as put by Airtel, which I had complied by submitting at the relationship center’s of Airtel.
                                  • Basically till date I have submitted my documents to Airtel at least upon five various occasion’s apart from the time that I got on the network.
                                  • On the 4th of Sep it was brought to my notice by one of my clients that calls to my mobile number were barred and I contacted Airtel customer care and I was told that there was some problem with my documents hence my calls were barred when I asked them to check the records and find out that I had taken a duplicate sim from them in the month of February 2010, the customer care executive apologized and my phone was reactivated in around fifteen minutes.
                                  • On the 7th of Sep once again calls to/from my mobile were barred and again I contacted the customer care and requested to be put through to one of their manager’s after a few calls finally I was put on to one of the manager and after listening to my complaint and verifying my residential address he assured me that it will not happen again, he categorically told me that he will put up a note so that my services were not disturbed. My mobile was reactivated again.
                                  • Again on the night of 17th Sep, once again my calls were barred, I contacted the customer care only to run into a wall, the person of the other end was clearly not educated or informed enough to understand what I was complaining about finally I requested to be put on to one of their Managers, and after a long wait I was informed that no Manager was available.
                                  • On all these three occasions I was not informed either about submission of documents nor regarding barring of services, nor I was told that I need to submit a set of documents. How can a service provider just bar calls that too for something as important as a mobile phone, what if I had a medical emergency back home and the call just could not go through just because Airtel did not manage the customer records and had no professionalism to inform the subscriber about the same.
                                  • On 20th I visited the Airtel relationship center at LB Stadium – Hyderabad where I enquired what happened to the set of documents that I submitted to them in the month of Feb 2010, I was told that they are doing this exercise as ordered by TRAI & DOT, I requested them to ask me in writing that they require a new set of documents from me and indemnify me against the previous documents that I have submitted, I also required a receipt of my document submission, to which I was very curtly told that if I wanted to use my number then I should silently submit a new set of documents. I then decided that I will take up this to the media & all possible recourse of law.
                                  • I understand that TRAI / DOT will want the service providers to keep the documentation updated due to security concerns, but how am I as a subscriber should suffer just because Airtel could not keep my documents secure? They have my address on their records but probably have misplaced the ID proof and subscriber form, should I be penalized for their incompetence? Then what happened to my set of submitted documents, were they misused by anyone, these are the genuine concerns any informed law abiding citizen will have. Does Airtel want me to believe that TRAI/DOT is asking them to collect a new set of documents from subscribers every six months? How can they use the name of Government agencies to cover up their misdeeds? What if they misplace these too and ask again in next six months?
                                  • As a subscriber I understand that I have certain obligations towards the service provider at the same time I except the service provider to :-

                                  o Maintain due diligence in maintaining records, every set of documents submitted are precious, can be misused & has to be accounted for, you just cannot say that we do not have yours so submit one more time.
                                  o Provide me in writing if they require any documentation out of the ordinary, because the same set of documents are good enough to be abused or misused for a new connection.
                                  o If any documentation has to be submitted then as a subscriber I have a right to be informed and given adequate time frame to comply rather than just barring my calls without any intimation or notice.
                                  o There is nothing wrong in issuing a receipt for the set of documents submitted; it works well in the subscriber’s and service provider’s favor.

                                    [protected] - Req- Reg
                                    I submitted request through emal on 5-2-2012 and 6-2-2012 with request to send my recharge amount 135/- which is by mistake sent to another number, (Actual no.is [protected] and by mistake gone to [protected] ) and I given the retailer name and his number ( Mubeen communication, recharge done by cell: [protected]-and also informed you that I talked the owner of the number given above about the problem, he assured me that he doesn’t have any objection and if docomo authorities will take back the recharge amount from my account, but I think that your intention is not to help customers who have connected with you even after your contineous teasing by unauthorisedly cutting amount from the account on the name of different service which we not interested. But even after your disc operate service with me I continued your service, as I mentioned earlier that I have lot of tata connection under my family members and I connected with tata group and advised to my concerned group to take tata service, but now I think that I was wrong to judge your company, it is your duty to rectify the mistake done by customer and in spite of several request you are not doing anything to transfer the amount to my account which is already I charged and it is only for internet purpose and it cannot use for talking purpose, I think that the owner of the number recharged by mistake is also cannot use it for talking purpose, and you know that I am continuously recharging the 135/-Rs amount by every three month for this number .
                                    Further you are replying me that you cannot do anything in it regarding money transfer if by mistaken recharge, already it is the system to rectify the mistake but intentionally you are doing like this, and you are leaving me on the mercy of a retailer shop keeper, so what is for your duty, and use.,
                                    By your shrinking responsibility you will lose not only me but I have so many tata number under me that I will immediate disconnect the connections and also I will bring the matter in public, through internet to all consumer and I will alert them not to take tata connection as it is not fruitful to public and the authorities are also not doing work honestly and benfitable to customers as well as to company,
                                    I am unable to understand why tata company is bearing such type of inefficient persons on the such important posts..

                                        I have applied twice for MNP from my no's [protected] and. [protected]. Even though I called call center and verified the balance and made it sure then also my MNP request was rejected. I even visited service desk and confirmed that my payment due + unbilled amount is not more than my security amount. Still my request is rejected. I have SMS which I got from the circle to which I am moving. Even I have airtel's ticket no ( complain no) for MNP. I made it sure that I have detail logged in this complain. Can anyone please let me know how can I register a complain against Airtel with Telephone Authority of India.

                                        Complaint marked as Resolved 
                                        My request for MNP, on 1/02/2011 was rejected by Airtel.
                                        I got the message yesterday, saying
                                        "Your port in request for mobile number 9895XXXXXX has been rejected by your
                                        service provider as you have been on their network for less than 90 days"
                                        I am using Airtel for more than 4 years. Then why you rejected my request?
                                        I send a mail to Airtel ([protected]@airtel.in) , please verify and reply.

                                        Dear Sir,

                                        As per the telephonic conversation, I again registered for MNP today with same Unique port ID & waiting for your approval. Details are send to your mail. Please check.

                                        Thank you,

                                        hi,

                                        The MNP request is again rejected, this is the second time it is rejected.
                                        I lost my money, time. Now again ask me to submit it after 15 days.
                                        According to TRAI

                                        1. Charges associated with MNP ie, switching charges for users must not exceed Rs 19.
                                        2.Switching time is 7 days.

                                        I lost already Rs. 30 + expense. How can i believe that after 15 days it will ok?
                                        So I complaint it to Airtel Appellate officer, waiting for his reply.

                                        bye,

                                        Harisankar .G

                                        AirTel — MNP Request Rejected by Airtel

                                        I am using airtel no [protected] from last 18 months . I want to change my mobile operator Through mobile number portability from airtel to Vodafone.i submit my Request to Vodafone.

                                        But then i receive a message from Vodafone that Airtel mobile operator rejected My porting . Because of Contractual obligition. Actually in my case there is no contactual obligation with Airtel because mine was an individual normal prepaid connection. they are simply delaying my complaint saying somany lies. Actually MNP is a customer right. but here airtel is denying that right for me.

                                        I am planning to file a complaint in consumer court for compensation.

                                        I contacted my airtel customer care about this issue no one has respondig . Please. Help me sir

                                        I had put a request for mobile number portability for the above mobile number on 17.05.2011. As there was no response to my request I contacted the customer service of M/s. Bharti Airtel on 24.05.2011. I was told that the number was a special number so it cannot be ported. But while purchasing the mobile sim I was never told that it was a special number.
                                        So please guide what to do?
                                        My email id is [protected]@hotmail.com
                                        I check this with my service provide and the wast thing is that even after using this number for more than 5 years they are saying I have not with them for more than 90 day. Please let me know why you are sending me bills from so long time?
                                        This is not resolve yet. Airtel is making fool to all customers. They have not given any clarification on why request was not processed. Airtel call center execatives are marking complain resolved.
