Bharat Sanchar Nigam [BSNL] Complaints & Reviews

1. I had one BSNL sim card in name of my mother (Nirmala Roda) from Digras - Maharashtra. And we are using it for past 7-8 years ([protected]). Due to some reason the SIM card got currupted and we wanted to get that replaced.

2. The incharge at BSNL office in Digras - 445203 (Dist: Yavatmal, Maharashtra) started literally torchuring us, with all kind of rediculous demands.

3. Exactly when did this card stopped functioning. It should match the data in their databse, tha only he will do the needful.

4. After giving this info, What was the exact balance in the card. For God's sake no on can keeps on checking the prepaid balance every now and than.

5. Give a written complaint, FIR and what not. In so many frequent visits to the office, the card is now lost somewhere and it has balance of not less than 350 Rs.

6. I have one airtel number and once when that card was corrupted, it was replaced almost immediately, taking my photo id and written complaint.

I recieved a message for activating calling @ of 1 paisa per second. As per the instructions of the promotional message, which i recieved for the activation of ACT 1S scheme, i have sent a message and i have recieved confirmation message also but the scheme have not been activated on my mobile number.

My mobile no. is [protected].

Please help me in this regard

I HAD GIVEN A COMPLAINT ABOUT 2 WEEKS BACK ON THE NON AVAILABILITY OF NETTHROUGH THE BB CONNECTION...TILL TODAY[protected] THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED

I have a broadband connection from BSNL with home 250 plan. Due to non payment of bills it was disconnected for 25 days in october month. In this plan there is usage of 1GB free per month.

My usage was 760MB in five days for october month. My october bill shows very peculiar way of billing. The Monthly rental(Fixed) is reduced as pro rata basis for 5 days and My free usage is also reduced to 165MB. Remaining usage has been charged at the prevailing rate i.e. 90 paise/MB.

On the other hand if BSNL charges full rental and gives me free usage as per my plan i.e. 1GB/month my bill amount should not go that high.

Question is why free usage is pro-rated irrespective of whether my line is operational or not.

Its a free usage for a month not per day basis if i use broadband for 5 days in month or more is customer's choice.

I strongly feel this billing mechanism is not correct and is chaeting to customers.

Phone's been dead for last 3 weeks. 2 complaint numbers 34743 & 3711 given till date with no resolution. Last year phone was dead for 3 months & no credit given for dead period.

I have activated ISLAMIC DEVOTIONAL monthly SMS plan through BT - ONMOBILE

NOW I WANT TO DEACTIVATE THAT SERVICE

SO PLEASE DEACTIVATE THIS PLAN

SERVICES ARE REALLY DEGRADING. MY CONCERN TODAY IS WITH PRBT -- CALLER TUNE FACILITY IN PREPAID MOBILE PHONE. RESPECTED SIR, I GOT A MESSAGE IN THE MORNING THAT TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE CALLER TUNE. I THOUGHT MY FREE TRIAL IS ENDING, SO IT MAY BE THAT YOU CHARGE FROM NEXT MONTH 1 FAULT. I CALLED TO INQUIRE ABOUT HOW TO UNSUBCRIBE IT. I GOT TWO WAYS. I FIRSTLY CHOOSED TO SMS. MY AMOUNT WAS DEDUCTED BUT I HAVEN'T ANY MESSAGE OF CONFIRMATION WHETHER MY PRBT WILL BE CLOSED OR NOT 2 FAULT. I CALLED AGAIN TO CUSTOMER CARE. THEY TOLD ME TO GO FOR THE 56799 METHOD. I CALLED AND THE PHONE DISCONNECTED TWICE WHICH COSTED ME 3 FAULT. I AGAIN CALLED BACK AND INQUIRED FOR THE PROBLEM, ANOTHER EXECUTIVE TOLD ME TO CALL ON 56700. HE SAID THAT 56799 HAS SOME PROBLEM, SO WHY WAS I BEEN ASKED TO CALL ON THAT NO WHICH WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY 4 FAULT. I CALLED 56700 AND WASTED MANY OF MY MINUTES SEARCHING FOR THE OPTION TO UNSUBSCRIBE, I FOUND NONE. WHEN I ENDED THE CALL IT COSTS ME RS.8 FOR NOTHING 5 FAULT. I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE FURTHER, HE WAS FAST ENOUGH TO PICK THE CALL SINCE THE FIRST TIME I CALLED THEM TODAY. THIS IS THE ONLY GOOD THING I FOUND TODAY. WE HAD A TALK AND HE WAS UNABLE TO SATISFY ME AND SO HE CHANGED THE LINE TO HIS SUPERIOR. I WAITED FOR 10 MIN BUT NO ONE PICKED UP 6 FAULT. THE TOTAL CALL TIME WAS OF 13 MIN AND STILL MY QUERY WAS NOT FULFILLED. WHILE I WAS IN THE CALL WHICH WAS TRANSFERRING TO THE SUPERVISOR, I WAS HEARING ON VARIOUS ADS OF YOURS. GOOD BUT IT WAS CONTINOUSLY ASKING ME TO PRESS THIS AND THAT FOR OTHER PROCESS. I EVEN PRESSED THOSE BUTTONS PREVIOUSLY WHEN I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE BEFORE FEW WEEKS BUT NOTHING HAPPENED 7 FAULT. IF NOTHING WAS TO HAPPEN THEN WHY IT IS THAT WE ARE HEARING FOR 8 FAULT. I BROWSED THE WEBSITE FOR FURTHER SOOTHING. THE PAGE WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS AND NO SPECIFIC INFORMATION WAS THERE ANYWHERE ELSE. THE LOOK OF THE GENERAL SITE IS NOT TOO GOOD TOO. VERY NASTY 9 FAULT. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER MY COMPLAINT WILL BE ANALYSED OR WILL BE FACING DELETE BUTTON BUT YOUR ATTITUDE WILL DEFINITELY BRING ME TO YOUR 10TH FAULT IN SINGLE DAY.

AWESOME PERFORMANCE IT WILL BE OR MY ONE BAD DAY WITH YOU. NETWORK PROBLEM IS NOTHING NEW TO ANYONE USING BSNL BUT THIS TYPE OF SERVICE PROBLEM IS SOMETHING CAN BE EASILY TACKLED. HOPE YOU CALL ME TO GET A BETTER IDEA. I WOULD EXPECT AN EXECUTIVE OR MANAGER TO CALL ME, SO I CAN EXPLAIN THEM MY POINT OF SAYING. I AM A STUDENT OF MBA, BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY (BHU).

My phone Number[protected] sice March,2009.
My earlier number was [protected] with Unique ID:[protected] since 1996.

Please advice the procedure and the correect system where I can add my landline phone account in the bsnl.portal and effect online payments. Incidentally I receive the phone bill on e-mail at "[protected]@gmail.com",but I am unable to effect online payment. Please look in to the matter.: s.jyotiprakasan

I am using BSNL HOME 500 C broadband line for past 2years, though I was warned by so many of friend about the bad service provided by BSNL. I have no complaints till I shift. My Telephone no is 24746876 and. I have given request for shifting on 28.08.2009. But, connection to the shifted house has been given on 22.09.2009. But I was charged for full month instead of 9days and free calls has been calculated on pro-rata basis on their favor and the details as follows.

Gross Metered Call 64
Free Call 53 (It should be 150 as per the plan)

Rent 500.00
Call Charges 11.00
Service Tax 52.63
Gross Amount 564.00
Credit Adj 9.00 (From the previous bill payment)
Net Amt 555.00

It is clearly showing that BSNL is trying to steal money from customer as much as they can, when a customer requests them. For being BSNL customer, I was charged left and right and not per the terms agreed for.

Praying for Judgement with this regard

Since last 3 months I am facing lot of disturbance in my telephone line. I had complained so many times but all in vain. After complaints, the line man calls from the pole and just say that your phone is working and cuts the calls and is least bothered to listen to our complaints.

Many a times there is no dial tone at our end and it comes only if there is some incoming call on it. We have broadband connection too, and the link of the same also gets disconnected in between.

Whether there is some authority who can resolve my problem.

I am really amazed of the fact - when i placed a complaint of replacing the telephone wire - which was cut from the main pole to my residence at various places - they said they don;t have additional wire to change it.
i have been a customer since 10 yrs and paying approx 1200.- to 2000/- INR per month as rent + usage fees.
The telephone wire was cut due to a truck carrying something tall material. We placed the complaint and they just came and joined the wire - but right now it is just hanging around - and now even if the wire shakes due to wind or something - the telephone get disconnected.
Now even i am using broadband and use to do some conference calls via Skype- but due to many knots on the wire - i am donot get proper speed to browse.
I have Talked with New Sanghvi Exchange manager - Mr. Kulkarni - and they said they don;t even a 5 meter wire in their budget.
Is BSNL in such a Pathetic condition - where they cannot change the old wire of such an old customer and they spend so much in Advertisement and say they are entering in 3G connection and pay Deepika Pudakone or Prity jinta - Lakhs of rupees - but they don;t have funds to replace a old worn out wire.

I hope this message reaches to BSNL head and concerned departments and they attend to this situation on a priority basis.

Looking to hear from you

I own a mobile connection No.[protected] in my name. Inadvertently some caller tune has been activated in my cell phone which I do not want and wish to get it discontinued. All my complaints through your call center have gone to deaf ears and nothing has been done so far. I have sent message "UNSUBSCRIBE" to 56799 at least four times and every time I got assurance that the caller tune will be removed within 48 Hrs. Nothing has happened even after 48 days! Similarly I am receiving uncalled for , silly and idiotic messages on my above number, umpteen times I complained to your Call Center , again to no avail I also sent messages "START DND" n number of times on 1909 , with standard reply" data could not be retrieved". I doubt whether you are really public sector telecommunication giants or it is just a myth.
I reserve my right to proceed against you in case my grievances are not redressed within next two days at your sole risk and responsibility.
