Mahanagar Telephone Nigam [MTNL] Complaints & Reviews

Dear Dharvesh, Go to Bol.net.in and at the bottom left there is an option ( List in End ) which says " Test speed of Broadband connection " . Click that and make sure you are not using the net while testing. Click on either option as applicable and it will give you the speed. Incase it shows something other that your expectation then contact your MTNL call directory and get the Executive Director's Nos. for your region. Trust me - IT"S FAST

I have tried to lodge the complaints against the unexpected behaviour and bad language used by MTNL Customer care executive and try to send it on mtnl email id feedback.[protected]@bol.net.in. But, making a lot effort, I am unable to lodge because, the mail ids doesnot receive my complain. I wanted to attract the attention of higher officials of MTNL Delhi on the above subject that some of their customer care executive at call center using unethical and bad language while requesting for lodgement of complaints. I don't know the name of perticular executives because he didnot confirm his name and he gave me his position no, that I forgot. Yesterday, I faced such a situation while I heard some bad words used by that particular executive.

I have been using this mobile phone service Dolphin for almost 2 years. its network is extremely poor. Voice clarity is worse and calls dropvery frequently. They offer cheap call rates, but due to dropped calls, one ends up paying way more than promised.

whenever we complain to customer care of mtnl, they say that network upgradation work is going on, and it will smooth in a little time. But i have been hearing this for atleast...

Respected Sir / Madam,

My issue has been with the Network Service provided by my mobile operator MTNL - DOLPHIN MUMBAI. For your reference, below are some of my mails i had sent to various helpdesks of MTNL Mumbai. But still i have received any response. I had decided i will not pay my anymore outstanding bills but for sake of my honesty & being citizen of this country i decided to pay my bill. So i paid my bill only for month of June by cheque on 30-July-09. The reason i did not pay outstanding bill amount for May month was because i was informed by one of the Customer Service Executive of MTNL & cashier at MTNL's Shimpoli Telephone Exchange that "even if i pay atleast half of the outstanding bill, my outgoing service wouild get started". But still my service is not yet started. To verify about cheque realisation i had called up at my Bank's Phone Banking Services and it was confirmed by Phone Banking Officer that they have still not received any cheque for realisation from MTNL. When i went to MTNL's Shimpoli Telephone Exchange (where i had dropped the cheque), the above mentioned cashier informed me that they would not be aware of about my cheque since there is different department that takes care of collecting the cheques & depositing the same.

On the other hand, even if my above issue gets resolved i don't think my Network issue is going to be resolved. I want to file complaint against MTNL - Mumbai for all the physical & mental stress i have been through for all the years since the time i applied for MTNL connection. I want MTNL Mumbai to compensate me TWICE the amount of the bills that i have paid till date along with interest at 10% & also apologise in writing for providing me bad network service.


Can you help please?

Re: Network Coverage Problem on [protected]





Respected Sir / Madam,

I am still facing the network issue. I had called up at MTNL helpdesk on 1503 at 7:00am on 30-July-09 and i was informed by one your customer service executive that this case has been closed. I want to ask you why the case was closed when my problem is still not being rectified? I was asked to raise another complaint and was provided with new docket number. This is certainly NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE for a customer who has been loyal to MTNL by having its connection since past 4 years & paying all heavy usage bills on time. On 31st July 2009, i have again raised a complained (docket number - C[protected]

I had not received my bill for the month of May - 2009 and i directly received the bill for June 2009 along with outstanding amount of May - 2009 in the month of July with due date 31-July-09. And worst thing happening to your loyal customer is that my Outgoing Calls service & SMS service were barred on 30-Jul-09 when the bill states that due date for paying my all outstanding bills was 31-July-09.

Its real shame that MTNL does not value it's customer and has no concern in solving his issues. I can PROVE that MTNL Network received at my residence and at my work place is absolutely weak. My colleagues, friends have to try my number minimum of 5 to 6 times in order call me. Just for TEST at my residence i have tried many times calling on my mobile phone (kept besides my landline) through my MTNL landline and answer that i get to hear through MTNL's automated machine is "The Dolphin Customer you are trying to reach is out of coverage area, please try again later" and this makes situation more worst & frustrating.

MTNL Dolphin does not provide a good network service and this would be proved if you take real 'Customer Satisfaction Survey' of all your MTNL Dolphin Customers. Unless a poor customer does not touch your feet you don't move even an inch. This is major reason why today private companies in India have been able to succeed because they give value to customer by providing them prompt & effective service. With such laid back attitude MTNL would never be able to compete with Telecom Companies like Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance & other telecom players.

MTNL Dolphin has left me with no choice but to approach Honourable Consumer Court, TRAI, DOT.

Subject: Network Coverage Problem on [protected]


Respected Sir,

Its been more than 4 years i have been MTNL Dolphin Customer, but i am sorry to say i have always faced Network Coverage problems. I always face lot of network fluctuation problems at my residence & i do not receive any network coverage at my workplace. I feel MTNL Dolphin Tariff plans are also designed to fool the customers. Whichever plan i chose i end up paying almost the same bill amount like my previous plans. I have been a very heavy usage user & have also paid my bills regularly but till now i have not received any satisfactory service from Dolphin network nor the Customer Service Executives on 1503 & [protected], have ever been able to solve my network issue. Being loyal customer i have never received any additional benefits like special discounts on my bill for being mtnl mumbai dolphin customer for a long time but MTNL Mumbai always expects me to pay my bills on time even though MTNL Mumbai Dolphin has never been able to resovled my network problems.

My current work place is CRISIL LIMITED, Unit 201, A - Wing, Kensingtoz SEZ Bldg, Hiranandani Business Park, Powai. I have lot of network issue at my work place. My network is always fluctuating or at times there is no network coverage on floor premises of my organisation. So i expect MTNL to solve my problem or refund my bill payments that i have made towards MTNL Mumbai Dolphin till date.

I have now decided to approach honourable Consumer Court against MTNL Mumbai for not providing me the network coverage nor customer satisfaction service even after me paying my heavy usage bills regularly. I don't trust MTNL network anymore & i don't think the MTNL officials can resolve my network issue ever.


FYI: The number is registered in name of my father Mr. Bhimrao Khambe

My connection no.[protected]Delhi) I had stopped using the Broad Band services in Dec'08, but received a lrge amount bill for March'09. Made many complaints by email & fax, even upto CMD level.
No responsible attention paid.

I HAVE MTNL UNLIMITED BROADBAND CONNECTION. I PAY EVERY MONTH 700/ RS TO MTNL BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO USE NOT A SINGLE BIT OF IT.
I AM GIVING COMPLAINS TO CUSTOMER CARE FROM THE TIME I HAVE TAKEN CONNECTION BUT NO BODY HAS BOTHER TO TAKE CARE OF IT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL AREA MANAGER AND HAVE VISITED SANCHAR HAAT SEVERAL TIMES BUT THERE IS NO PROGRESS. ON EVERY THIRD DAY I REGISTER COMPLAIN ON THERE PHONE NO: SOME ONE CALL SAYS " SIR APKA INTERNET SAHI CHAL RAHA HAI" AND DO'NT BOTHER TO EVEN HEAR ISSUE.
THESE SORT OF SERVICE IS NOT AT ALL ACCEPTABLE. KINDLY GUIDE WHAT SHOULD I DO ACCEPT DISCONNECTING THE CONNECTION.

I have been registering complaints on Tel Nos 198 and 1504/1 almost every alternate day for the past 3 weeks regarding my 512kbps connection as under but the matter is still not resolved :
" the connection keeps dropping off and re-connecting as much as 20-30 times during the day.Some times
the reconnection is immediate or within a few minutes but at least 2-3 times in a day it takes 1-2 hours to reconnect. MTNL persons just make a telephone call asking whether the internet is connected and if at that moment it is on the close the complaint.
I am an Electrical Engineer and I know that this requires proper investigation of the incoming line, MDF, etc and measurement of Noise, attenuation and other parameters for which it seems MTNL either do not have the Equipment and Qualified Personal or are reluctant to take the trouble to do.

The phone no. mentioned above is not working from around last one month. I have complained regarding this matter on your recorder system. The last complaint no.1006 dated 21.07.2009 is still pending. This shows the negligency of line man on duty. Please look into this complaint and take strict action.

Initially on application I had requested for a night unlimited plan and assumed it was done as whenever I logged in to the mtnl account to check details of my account it would show night unlimited. Based on that we downloaded accordingly. 2 months later I get a 14000 bill stating we were on 200MB free only plan. When we took this matter to the exchange they made us produce the receipt and never in our wildest dreams had we doubted the person taking our application form but it was 200MB on the receipt. my online account now too shows 200MB. How am i to prove that we were misinformed? What can be done to resolve this? My landline is now disconnected due to this as we haven't paid the bill since the matter is not cleared. Besides don't MTNL have a credit limit which if it was effective none of these complaints would have arisen and lesser losses incurred

My telephone no. is 27550359, and CA no. is [protected]. My broadband connection was installed on 19.7.09, via wi-fi modem no. HG520. The signal is excellent, and the connectivity is there. But it has not been working since then. I have made repeated complaints on helpline no. 1504. My first complaint was on 20.7.09, and some of the complaint nos. are 8925, 2327, 8093. After that I have been daily making complaints on 1504.Everytime a customer care executive tells me to change this or that setting in the laptop. The broadband connections starts but for only few minutes. Everytime a site is to be opened, it shows “cannot find server’. Even if it starts, it is frequently disconnected after every few seconds.

I have once complained to the Area Manager, and after that to the GM on 27.7.09. Still the problem is there.

I had thought that MTNL service was the best for broadband, but may be I was wrong. If the broadband connection cannot be restored and the complaint cannot be rectified, then why should I be paying the charges.

Kindly take note of my complaint and take strict action at the earliest.
