[Resolved]  MTNL — customer service

I have applied for broadband connection 2 months back. I am trying to call them just to find the status. Whichever number I call, they ask me to call the other number. After dialling 5/6 different numbers, I reach a number where they don't pick up the phone. So basically I end up in deadlock. Once I called them around 1 o'clock, that customer service lady directly told me to call after 2 PM since she was having her lunch. If you ask them their names, they just tell you they are not allowed to tell their names. I think this is the worst customer service I have seen so far. I am not sure if the management even looks into these issues.

service to our tel no[protected] is dicontinued. we have paid the full amount which was due. Kindly start the sevice to our telephone as mentioned above.
Subject: Reference telephone no. 26858743


Dear Sir,

I received your bill no [protected] dated 06/01/2009 for the supposed internet use during 01/12/2008 to 31/12/2008.

I wish to inform you, if you are not yet aware of this fact, that, you have disconnected my telephone no 26858743 from Nov 2008. No incoming calls were allowed since that day. As the line was completely dead, I believe that there was no internet connection available to us. Hence, there cannot be any claim for internet use.

While on this subject, I wish to inform you that early in 2008, you barred all outgoing calls from this telephone because I disputed the bill for Feb 2008, which I haven’t received till date and which showed on internet a charge of Rs. 4492. I demanded the details of the calls supposed to have been made from my telephone during the relevant month of the bill. I did not get this. I was made to run from one of your offices to another such as one at Gokuldham, other at S.V Road- Goregaon West, another at Nirlon complex- Goregaon East, one more at Pinky Cinema, Andheri East and still one more at Bahar Cinema. Ultimately I received a statement at the last mentioned office which stated that all the charges made were for local calls of which no details could be given, unless demanded IN ADVANCE. Which meant that there were a total of 2769 calls made in 29 days, approx 95 calls made every day, that works to 286 minutes each day. If this does not sound absurd, what will?

To make the analyses simpler, please find below the details of the local calls, STD –ISD and the bill amounts from Jun 06 for your ready reference.

I could provide the details right from the installation of the phone about 5 years ago, I have given the above details only as an illustration.

From the above table, you can make out that the highest number of local calls made in a month was 369 in Oct 07. Hence, our hesitance to pay the bill claiming 2769 local calls.

I hope you will take a reasoned decision based on the above facts and send us a revised bill so that we may make the payment and also you can restore the telephone operations.

Yours faithfully,

Nityanand Naik
I made a complaint to the Chairman-cum-MD MTNL in April, 2009 that in our areas bimonthly telephone bills are not being received by at customers' address due to which most of the subscribers have to pay the bills with late payment charges. Even sometimes the telephone connections are disconnected for non-payment. Moreoever the personnel attending the public/subscribers misbehave with the public. UNFORTUNATELY, no action/response has so far some to my notice. Furthernore the MTNL repeated the same tradition of non-sending the bills in May, 09, too. Thanks to the HoD for encouraging/promoting the trend.
Our STD/ISD Phone No. 26852182 completely Dead since last 10 Days made Several Telephone Complaints on your Electronic complaint but no response. request you to kindly depute your Mechanic to set right the Telephone immediately.
