Bharat Sanchar Nigam [BSNL] Complaints & Reviews

dear sirs,
i am a consumer of bsnl prepaid mobile phones since it's innaguration. i always used to recharge my account with Rs 5500/- value. when i recharged my a/c it was commited me that my call charges would be 10paise/minute. to any bsnl no in haryana. but now bsnl has withdrawal the facility. it was intimated me by a sms that a new plan has launched in which you can make local bsnl calls with 10paise/minute.in that you have to recharge with Rs 39/- voucher but when i went for recharging with the same i was told that you are not authorised to avail this facility beacuase you are availing an earlier plan. my a/c balance is more than Rs 5000/- in my a/c. what type of benefits are provided by bsnl it is not known to me. in future i will never be a consumer of bsnl. instead of having a heavy amouunt in my a/c i am making my bsnl calls at 49paise/minute. it is a matter of great shame for bsnl. that is why customers are withdrawing bsnl in all cases.

I am using BSNL/WILL phone for upto 2-3 years but now i don't want that service because of financial situations so i returned back before 3 month but still i did'nt get the deposit amount of rs1000 so solve this problem as soon as possible..

I am a customer of BSNL, Indiranagar, Bangalore.

This mail is to bring to your notice the shoddy customer support facilities provided by BSNL.

Mobile: I opted for 3G services. Yesterday, all of a sudden my outgoing calls, including those to the customer helpdesk, were barred. I checked if I have any intimation pertaining to bill payments. I have not received any bill nor sms intimating of the same. I called the help desk, but the customer representative was unable to provide me as to the reason why my outgoing was barred as "their server was down" and I was requested to call them up again later, which means that I have to use my office telephone or borrow another telephone to make this call to BSNL customer service. Add to this, the pain of waiting to get through the BSNL IVR which talks incessantly about the 3G value-added services, and all the numbers that we are supposed to press for language, other options. Sometimes the call gets disconnected for no apparent reason.

In my next call to the mobile helpdesk, the Customer service representative said she is unable to open the page related to my number and asked me to call the customer desk again after sometime. Upon requesting her to provide me a docket number so that I could reference this conversation to the next customer representative, I was put on hold, and then answered that a docket number cannot be provided and that I would have to approach the BSNL office for more answers. Thats value added services to make you "Cool" like Deepika Padukone from BSNL. Thanks for screwing my day at office BSNL.

Telephone shifting: I requested shifting of my telephone from one locality to another; its been a week, but I have no clue as to what is happening. So, trying to be proactive, I searched for the customer helpdesk numbers on the internet. The numbers listed of general complaints do not exist and the numbers specific to Indiranagar CDE rings, but no one picks up the call.

Honestly, I would not shed a tear if BSNL was disbanded or privatised.

my name is singal hitesh, just one weak ago, i purchsed bsnl evdo card, the lady who sit at bsnl office told me evdo card have a speed of 2 MBPS with a plan750, but a when i oparet from home it show just 21 kbps to 156 kbps, when i compleint to head officer, this is wireless connection, bsnl will provide only this type of speed. and bsnl will not refund me.

MY TEL NO IS 2282717. I HAVE APPLIED FOR CHANGE OF NAME IN THE TELEPHONE DIRECTORY AND SUBMITTED REQUIRED DOCUMENTS ON 28/07/2010. NAME IS NOT CHANGED.
THE INTERNET CONNECTION WAS ALSO NOT WORKING AND THEREFORE REQUESTED FOR SURRENDER OF BROADBAND CONNECTION FOR LAST 2 MONTHS WHICH IS YET TO BE DONE.

ALTOUGH THE PHONE IS NOT IN SERVICE , THE BILL FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST IS Rs 2612/-
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

My Telephone No.2200012 frequently does not work, among other phones in the area. We need to follow-up half a dozen times before the telephone line is rectified, which again after a period of time stops working. Currently, my landline is not working for the last 4 days. In the month of August 10, the landline 2200012 was not working for 25 days. Despite the landline not working, full rental is charged by BSNL - is this right? On all Fridays - power-shedding day - landlines in the area do not work for about 14-16 hours or even more! There is no battery back-up system in place at the telephone exchange which is a MUST to ensure continuous working of landlines during power-shedding hours. It is really frustrating to have such poor service after charging us full rental. Telephone complaints are not attended to till repeated complaints/follow-ups are made. As we do pay BSNL full rental for service - Can BSNL wake up to our call?

I've done a recharge of my PRE PAID BSNL number [protected] on 06/09/2010, payment id [protected], for Rs.200/- from Axis Bank a/c but the recharge has failed & my account got debited , despite complaining BSNL on centre number 1503 the kept me waiting to talk to senior for as long as 34 minutes and gave excuses like they have tie-up only with PNB , though Axis Banks I-connect (Internet Banking) .Thrice they connected but everytime they kept me on hold and then disconnected.There sit had a provision for mailing complaint but it doesn't work .I'm really surprised how do this organization works without email ID to contact .Kindly help out to get my money reimbursed.

Respected Sir,
I am Pankajakshan nair M.N.,Kallarackal-puthenpura ,Pindimana,Kothamangalam, have utilised your esteemed company,BSNL faclity for land line users to get Pre-paid mobile number.I applied for the same today, 6th Sep'2010 and have been alloted a number which is quite different from Land line number. My present land line connection is allocated on OYT basis after paying Rs.10,000/- with broad band connection . I hope that I am a genuine person for BSNL to get the same land line number as my pre-paid mobile number. The present Land line number is[protected] and the Pre-paid mobile number which is issued today is [protected]. On enquiry, I was told, that number might have been issued earlier to some other customer, hence not possible to get the same as your Land line connection. I was not pleased with the answer from the personnel in charge for issuing Prepaid numbers. There will be several excuses from your side and do not understand the method and philosophy in issuing Pre-paid connection based on Land line number.
Is it a business idiology for getting customers? I was very nuch happy with BSNL even I have other cellular connections monthly paying more than Rs:5000 for international calls.I hope you will understand my issue and will do the needful positivey .
Please send a reply before ignoring or neglecting my complant!

With regrds,
Pankajakkshan nair.

MY LAND LINE AND BROAD BAND[protected] FREQUENTLY GOES OUT OF SERVICE BUT THIS TIME CONTINOUSLY IT IS DEAD FOR MORE THAN 20 DAYS. THE COMPUTERISED COMPLAIN IS AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED BY BSNL EMPLOYEE UNAUTHORISELY WITHOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM DUE TO WHICH I HAD TO REGISTER COMPLAIN FOUR TIMES. BSNL OFFICIAL AT PHONE[protected] DOES NOT LIFT THE PHONE AT ANY POINT/ TIME OF THE DAY. BUT THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH TO RAISE THE BILL EVERY MONTH. ACTION MUST BE INITIATED AGAINST THE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL.

My Phone is not working off & on in last six months it must not have worked for more then 3 months.

Sub : Surrendering of WLL Phone[protected] & Harassment by BSNL staff

Dear Madam/Sir,

Refer to my earlier e-mail (Complain) dated 29th Aug 2010. Inspite of repeated approaches by my dependant father to surrender a WLL phone is failed due to negligent by staffs of telephone exchange, Banki. Once, the dealing clerk asked my father to give Rs.500/- (towards missing iron pole of antenna). When asked for the money receipt and surrender certificate he refused for the same by telling us cock & bull story. Further SDO could not be contacted because he neither turns up for his obligatory duty regularly or picking up his mobile phone. We are much fed up with the system (staffs of BSNL, Banki). To get a surrender certificate is just like a hell to heaven story for us. Please initiate appropriate action for the corrupt staffs of Banki telephone exchange for harassing the valuable customer and not doing their duty properly.

My dependant father (Ratnakar Maharana) is a consumer of BSNL Banki Sub-division, Distt-Cuttack (WLL Ph No.[protected] since Dec 2006. I, being a defence serving personnel, get a chance to visit home only once/twice a year. My old and allied father has left the hope for getting a surrender certificate from BSNL, Banki. We have already deposited the equipments much before.

It is my painful duty to request you to interfere in the matter and do the needful for which I will be ever grateful to you.
Thanking you sir,
Yours' sincerely,
