    Address: MTNL versova Telephone exchange

    Telephone and broad band of MTNL Mumbai C.A. [protected] was closed on 26th December 2019. All bills have been cleared and In Demand note (Adjustable deposit +GST) of Rs 1000 too paid same day at MTNL Mumbai at Versova telephone exchange. I was told the cheque will be posted to my residential address within 1-2 months.

    Visited the Versova MTNL exchange in March 2020 and was told the finance section has been shifted to Andheri West telephone exchange.

    After the COVID Lockdown was eased, I visted the Andheri west telephone exchange but again was told that the cheque will be sent from the Vile Parle East MTNL exchange.

    When will I get the cheque for the deposit of Rs 3000 ?

        Address: 5th Floor, BKC, Kurla (W), MUMBAI - 98.

        Prepaid mobile (Dolphin) is being charged for "Celebrity wallpaper" service without the consent of consumer. This is like a trap - we get an SMS saying "Dear Customer, your Celeb Wall paper service renewed successfully... will be charged Rs.5 for 5 days..."
        It says we need to send an SMS to stop or unsubscribe to 5202000. But you won't be able to unsibscribe and customers are forced to pay Rs.5 for 5 days (Rs. 1 per day) for no reason. There is no service delivered too. Tried complaining all the helplines listed by MTNL for no use. Most of them are automated voice. Wherever manned help is there, no one lifts. It may look very small amount, but think of our population and how these frauds at 5202000 shamelessly looting you. The money we pay is for pre-paid mobile service. MTNL should not allow anyone else to debit this money without customer's consent. This is against customer rights. Requesting MTNL and TRAI to look into this matter seriously - this is happening for years now. (Screen shots attached how the SMS comes and how consumer is helpless while trying to "unsubscribe"

                  Address: Karol Bagh

                  Dear Sir,
                  I am a shopkeeper at Kohinoor Plaza in Karol bagh. This is to bring to your notice that there is a MTNL Pole in Gali no.5, beadonpura, Karol bagh right outside shop no.1.
                  The pole is proving to be a very negative element in the lane for the following reasons :
                  1. THEFT - The pole is in very close vicinity to the kohinoor plaza building and it makes it very easy for the thieves to climb up the pole and break in the building premises for any kind of burglary. So theft is very big danger because of the Pole.
                  2. SAFETY - There is a very messy cluster of wire surrounding the pole and its entire stretch. The cluster consists of electricity wires along with other cables. So there is a very bright chance of short circuit and catching of fire which can lead to big losses to the surrounding areas.
                  3. MOVEMENT - The Pole is a big obstruction in the movement of vehicles in the lane. Any kind of commercial or private vehicle is not able to move in or out of the lane which is causing a lot of trouble and losses to the residents and shopkeepers.
                  So I very sincerely request you and the concerned authorities to remove the pole as soon as possible as this will bring a very big relief in a lot of aspects to all the residents and shopkeepers in Gali no.5.
                  Regards
                  Ish arora

                        Address: Mumbai

                        Hi, My MTNL (Mumbai) telephone (number[protected] has been out of order from 28th September 2020. I have lodged online complaint many times and even mailed thrice for the same. I have been told that there is cable fault and cable will come in few weeks but now 3 months passed still there is no response from any of the MTNL officials or supervisor (Mr. Rajbhar [protected]).
                        He keeps telling the same reason cable banane diya hai. Sahab logo ko pata hai kab aayega.

                        From last 28th September I have been disconnected from broadband as well as Landline facility still I am receiving bills. I haven't used any of this facility from September 28th then why should I pay this bills? I have tried calling Malad Telephone Exchange but no one answers calls. Where should we go? To whom we should complain? Even I haven't got reply from you for last 3 emails I have sent.

                        Expecting to get resolved soon.

                                    Why Complaints are closed without asking customer. MTNL person Mr. Yadav mobile no
                                    [protected] is dose not want to solve the issue. Yesterday he said he will check today and not responding to calls.
                                    The engineers like him make MTNL service Pathetic.

                                    Why you guys are charging bill if phone is not active from past two months.
                                    Today again I have initiated one complaint as my previous complaints are closed without resolving the issue.

                                      Our landline[protected] and[protected] have been deactivated because of non-payment of bills. I have been calling consumer redressal, but it is of no use. Because of the pandemic and other reasons what might have been, we did not receive any invoices for the same. Also, while checking it out, I saw the pending bills and paid the same as soon as possible. Kindly help me re-activate the above two landline numbers as soon as possible since I have been a regular paying customer since more than 29 years and don't want to have a bad experience with a very honored organisation of our country.
