Bharat Sanchar Nigam [BSNL] Complaints & Reviews

I have a very strong compaint regarding digitech telematics Pvt Ltd directors Mr SOLANI who are greedy enough to fetch or exort money form the poor retailes for the BSNL bill colection services in West zone . they have colected Rs 18000 as payment comrised of deposit without interest & have not given return of any rupee since 18 Months
Please advice

I am using this data card for last 10 months . Initially they assured me that their services will improve within one months and it will work in every major cities in India .But sorry to inform you this data card is not working outside the Guwahati city and its network is so slow that sometimes it takes 2 to 3 hours time for internet connection and the peed is so slow it takes hours for openig awebsite. It is hardly possible to watch video through this connection. When I had taken the connection BSNL charged 250 plus service tax but now they are billing 600 plus service charge. How the BSNL has increased the exoribitant rate without informing the consumer for no additional services. So there fore I request you to refund my excess billing and increase the speed and networking area.

my moble no [protected] (trichy division) is activated with gprs facility . I used browse and eligible charges will be deducted now and then. On 2/10/2009,bsnl gprs has deducted Rs150 from my mobile account. when contacted bsnl customer care,they said it was downloading charges from no 54471150
On the above said day being the holiday I was at my home at Trivandrum kerala state .So swiched off the mobile from 1/0/2009 6.30 pm to 3/10/2009 8am My workilng place is near thakalai 50 km from tvm
I have not downloaded any thing on 2/10/009 at that time my moble was swiched off
If some thing is downloaded from my mobile on the said date.clearly it is misuse by somebody at bsnl gprs end .I am not responsible for this charges. kindly clarify this and recreit the recovered amount to my mobile.

I have a general plan prepaid cellone conection no. [protected] in Bangalore. My connection validity expired on 19 Sep 09. Within the grace period on 30 Sep 09 I initiated a recharge through internet using citibank to recharge my account with Rs 550 to increase my validity period. However when the payment was done to the BSNL my mobile was topped up for Rs 550 with expiry on 19 sep 09 instead of increasing my validity period as per scheme by 50 days. The BSNL was not able to resolve the problem and did not register a complaint. I had to then carry out an aditional E-recharge of Rs 170 to get the desired validity period. I recieved the credit from no. 177181 on 30/09/09 at 08:16 pm, valid till 19/09/09 REf No.[protected]. Inspite of not having validity period the BSNL wrongly topped up my mobile and there after failed to correct the error and said that option available was to carry out an additional recharge. They did not register a complaint stating that i did have a transation ID.

i've bought a bsnl EVdo card recently for the first 2 days i was getting a speed of about 180kbps but after that on wads i've been no even gettin 25kbps speed. my EVDO number is [protected]. irequest you to look into the matter n respon immediately.as if im subjected to this speed its waste of shelling out 850rupees for a internet connection which is not even 25kbps.

I am the subscriber of the above telephone number. Today(10/10/2009) at 6.51 pm, I received a call without caller id. The telephone ring was peculiar (neither local nor STD tone. Thereafter the telephone went dead. We registered a complaint at once with docket number J2936.

Smelling some foul play, we tried to call the said telephone number[protected] from my mobile phone. To our astonishment somebody picked up the phone. i warned the that what they are doing is illegal and asked for their telephone number. They replied that it is only a BSNL number.

We kept on trying and on many occasions they picked the phone. If it were a genuine subscriber, he would definitely have got annoyed. But he was indifferent. We could hear clicking sounds and some other sounds which clearly indicated that some activity is going on in the line. We suspect some illegal activities related to grey calls.

As a resposible citizen of India, it is my paramount duty to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned, if my telephone is used for any activity which is detrimental to the interest of the nation.

Apart from that, my telephone may be misused thereby causing monetary loss to me.

I request you to intervene immedietly and book the culprits.

Yours Faithfully

My telephone number is[protected]. My broadband has not been working for more than a week now. Repeated calls to the Thoraipakkam exchange, Complaints in BSNL Core Customer care didn't yield any response as well. My complaint number is 88469166. The Customer care people refuse to take another complaint since this complaint is still open.
Reaching customer care is another bigger task. It gets disconnected after 1 minute saying SORRY.
I get irresponsible answer from the JE at thoraipakkam office. When I say "I am not satisfied with the service", he gives irresponsible answers like "Disconnect and go" I am hoping that I would get atleast some response from their side. Will be taking up this issue with TRAI on monday

I got SMS from SBI BSNL payment successful like that.

After that system display shown BSNL sever is not responding like that ,then automatically my user name logged out.

i am a subscriber of BSNL BROADBAND 500 COMBO,
as per the plan i am required to pay a rent of 500 per month and i am given 1.5GB free download,175 free call and phone rent is cut off.
i got connection after august12
when they came to connect,i asked them whether we can switch off WIFI,they said a key is there behind mode,but that was false information.....the key Offs the modem.
so somehow my first month usage reached 1900 MB,because someone used my connection
but when bill came i was shocked,
i got 2432,
when i enquired they said i got connection after 12 days from august1 so my rent,and my benefits are cut off proportionally,
that was a new information to me because they told nothing about such a billing in the application forum.
i told i would pay the rent but i need my free usage and other bonuses.......but they deny
a lady even insulted me by saying "YOU DONT ARGUE,JUST GOTO SDO IF YOU NEED"
also when i asked to enquire about WIFI securing,noone knew it from there,they asked me to give back the wifi modem as i applied for ordinary one,
unlike them i was decent and returned modem,but the modem they gave didnt work and almost a day`s usage was wasted.....i walked to that exchange,passing the hill&i got tired.after that one day i got it repaired......
THEY BILLED IN UNJUSTICE,THEY BEHAVED RUDE,THEY GAVE FALSE INFORMATION,WASTED MY TIME,MADE MY TIME WASTE.....
I need justice and loyal compensation
i suffered a lot because of this,please help me....please charge the highest punishment against such a disloyal company........
this is not only my voice,this is of thousands suffering from there illmanners

BSNL-Broad Band authority at highest level used to advise their customers to change their internet Pass Word freequently as a safe guard to protect against any fradulant use by anyone. Unfortunately SDOT / BSNL / Bongaon Telephone Exchange and its office have not disclosed the initial Pass Word to the customer at the time of initial installation Broad Band internet services. When asked for Pass Word - reluctant to disclose stating "Why you require this, this is not necessary, if you change Pass Word you will be in trouble etc" Recorded evidence of correspondences are reproduced for suitable action. CGM /WBC is aware of the case. As a result I cannot change my Pass Word and check up my "Service Record"

Dear Sir,

This is to inform that against W.O.Regn. No. BNN / BB / 00579 dated. 18.07.09 BB connection was made available to me only after intervention by CGM on 01.09.09. Signed copy of said W.O. not yet handed over to me.

Although the user ID has been disclosed the “Pass Word” not yet made known to undersigned so that I can verify ‘Service Record’ from time to time as well as guard against any type of fraudulent use by any one other than consumer..

On 29.09.09 I deputed my son Arijit to meet JTO to get the ‘Pass Word’. JTO has however intimated him that the ‘Pass Word’ in question is available at the slip already handed over to us at the time of installation of BB connection. The BSNL officials present there however advised not to change Pass Word as this will create problems in operation of internet service. This advise is however not appreciated since the advice appears to be not in conformity with standing instructions of BSNL Head office vide various confidential letters to the BB consumers you are requested to clarify the reasons for such advices. JTO [255200] was contacted over phone on30-09-09 but he was not available.

The said slip without bearing signature of any BSNL official was examined at length but it is seen that nothing has been indicated as Pass Word in the slip. Under the circumstance you are requested 1) To intimate Pass Word at once in writing 2) clarification to para 3 above & 3) arrange opening of “Service Record”. This may kindly be treated as EXTREME URGENT.

Encl: Copy of slip given to me

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,

Sub: New Broad Band Connection to Asit Kar, Ph.No.
[protected] [Con. ID. No. 650876]

Ref: 1) My E-mails dated 01-10-09 & 04-10-09

2) Your E-mail reply dated. 04-10-09

References at above.

Till today I have not received any formal initial “Pass Word” for opining of BB Internet service provided to me on[protected] and as result thereof cannot open “Service Record” to verify my usage.

Yesterday i.e. on[protected] SDOT / Bongaon T.E contacted me over phone but reluctant to let me have the ‘Pass Word’ stating -why this is required- we have already posted it etc. Since the verdict of SDOT is contradictory to both international and BSNL’s own directive to its consumers I have requested him to send a reply to my letter received by him on[protected]

Incidentally did not mention how they have charged Broad Band fixed charges for a period prior to installation of BB connection i.e.[protected]. Submitted for your knowledge and suitable early necessary action. Thanking you,.
2) BSNL HIGH ADMN. OFFICERS MIGHT BE EXTREMELY UNHAPPY TO
SEE SUCH A CALLOUS BILLING BY HIS SUBORDINATES- RESULTING
IMPROPER & HARRASMENTS TO THEIR VALUED CUSTOMERS



Ref: My e-mails dated. 31-08-09 & 02-09-09 [ [protected]@gmail.cm ]


CGM / W.B.Circle and other highest officials of BSN Limited are well aware that although W.O to provide BB-Plan-250 with Modem-Type 1 was issued on 18.07.09 but installed only on 01-09-09 at their intervention from their Hd.offices. Please verify your own records for your own satisfaction of the geniuses

Bill of Asit Kar, Paschimpara, Bongaon, 24-Parganas (N), Tel.Ph.No.[protected], Consumer No. 650876, Bill No. 97342949 dated 07.09.09 (Due date. 13.10.09) for the period 01.08.09 to 31.08.09 sent to me, available at your Web site may be seen..

An amount of Rs.40.32 has been proposed to be paid by me towards Broad Band -S-250 Fixed Charge To: 31.07 2009. You are well aware that the Broad Band connection made available to me only on[protected] exclusively with your intervention 0n[protected]. You please clarify yourself whether action proposed by your subordinates are in tune? I will pay the bill within schedule but in the event of repayment / refund (No adjustment through subsequent bill is acceptable which may be specifically be noted) a penalty of Rs.10/- per month will be charged at per in cash with your owned framed rulings.

It is observed from National Broad Band Complain- Web site that there exists huge complains in respect of BSNL billing, disputes lying unsettled. The main reasons for such disputes are due to reluctance by BSNL office to check documents properly and issuing bills at the wisdom having knowledge that consumer will have to pay first and very few will refer back. Imposition of a penal clause for such mistakes will arrest such negligence.

However immediate actions solicited on para 3 above.

Thanking you,

They said that it will be shifted in 15 day still now it is not shifted. I have called them several times there was no proper response. I have gone to the BSNL office at Indranagar , they have made me to go to one department to the other and made me wait for 2 hours for concern person Mr. Irulandi he did not come on that day and there was no one had given proper response regarding the shift.
They have given Mr. Irulandi no.[protected] to speak, daily I call him he says I am in traffic I am unable to hear. He had given another number [protected] of Purushotham, I have tried this number also but I did not get any response from this number any time.
It is really frustrating, Please let me know whom to contact and have my issue will be fixed.

Thanks
