Hi,
I have a Airtel DTH connection with customer ID – [protected]
I had done a recharge of Rs. 430 on dated 13th Feb 2019, till that day we were not having any problem. Even we don’t have any prior information from Airtel which we believe is the biggest communication gap from Airtel vendor to customer and the message was that now customer has to select their own TV channels and pack which is a new guideline from TRAI.
The moment we have done payment on 13th Feb of Rs.430, we realized next day that there are limited channels were coming on our TV and we feel something wrong then after communication with Airtel on 14th Feb we come to know that TRAI guidelines have compulsorily implemented which offer Indian TV customers to select their own channels now onwards.
So we tried and struggled for almost 2-days and searching guidelines on Youtube to select the TV channels in Airtel and make own plan, we were able to select the channels in Airtel TV software (which was one of bitter experience at that time) and successfully able to make our own pack on dated 16th Feb of Rs. 531 and will attached automatic QR scan bar code generated after selected channel pack list via Airtel S/w which is big proof to say we have this pack.
I am attaching the pic of message on submitting our own pack on channel no.998, QR scan pic, SMS of QR scan and the acknowledgement SMS came to our registered mobile once after QR scan bar code sent to you successfully.
For your information on 16th Feb late evening, the channel pack which was designed and selected by us as per TRAI rule was activated and we have the SMS for same which we will attached as a proof.
Miscommunication and misleading information starts from Airtel when we suddenly received the message on dated 27th Feb 2019 at 5:53 PM that your due date of recharge of Rs.830 per month will be expiring soon on dated 1st March 2019. We ignore at that time and then it is surprising to us again Airtel vendor sent us the same message on date 1st March 2019 at 6:13 PM that your plan of 830 will get expire on 1st March 2019. So Airtel send us 2 SMS with wrong information to our registered mobile. As a genuine customer when such message received on my registered mobile, doubt came in mind about the Airtel system which is really very frustrating as a customer to deal with the customer care on such issues. Could you please clarify first what this particular message all about and why I got this SMS message of Rs. 830 which is a pure miscommunication regarding the package amount and the expiry date all misleading to the genuine customer.
So finally we don’t have option left and after rigorously trying to connect Airtel customer care center we were able to connect Airtel customer care after 45 mins to them, and tell them all above stories to them our all concerns what mentioned above. Now this time the customer care person surprise us that your pack is reduced to now 478 and not the actual one 531 for which we have attached the QR scan code. Really again frustrate as a customer I do activate select channels with plan 531. You sent SMS with 830 and your customer care communicate reduced to 478. Now could you please tell why so much confusion so shall I assume that first thing your system has lots of loopholes.
In this conversation with your customer care we come to know that amount which is deducted in just 15 to 16 hours from our side was around Rs 35.On 1st March 2019 at 7:00 PM amount left was Rs 78.60 and on 2nd March 2019 at 1:30 PM it was Rs 34 (A BIG QUESTION MARK ON DEDUCTION PROCESS).
Below are communication steps b/w Airtel & Customer and how it mislead a genuine person:-
1 ) Actual customer fact data - We activate and select our own channel list on Airtel TV pack of amount Rs. 531 dated 16th Feb. Attached QR scan bar code message picture. Don’t worry I will attached 3 page doc the list of channels which I have selected from Airtel Menu on 16th Feb 2019.
2 ) SMS -Misleading information - On dated 27th Feb you sent 2 times misleading SMS to registered mobile your pack of 830 will expire on dated 1st March. Wrong SMS dates sent on 27th Feb 5:53 PM and 1st March 6:13PM
3 ) Airtel Customer care Miscommunication- After initiating call from our side on dated 1st March 2019 and communicate to Airtel customer care I want to know without any SMS alert to my registered mobile how can you reduce my plan to 478 with limited channels and stopped multiple channels and how can you do this when actual is something. Really makes lots of confusion misleading to the customers. As a Airtel customer I feel cheated/harassed from such communications.
Important Note- If we got some resolution I want reply in written mail what is my actual pack/what all channels you give me access so that I will synch with my list channels what I have selected/ what is expiry date of my pack.
Please let me know the expiry method of channel access on TV. [Based on consuming hours time based or Month wise]
e.g – if month wise, which I believe, so then please correct me if I am wrong here. If plan activate on 16th March means when I credit money in Airtel account then it will expire after 1 month means on 15th April. Is it correct? If not then tell me your formula of TV channel expiry plan.
Note- I want one main person to assigned to this issue from Airtel company and share his/her mobile no to contact directly as I am never interested to call Airtel customer care to tell the stories from scratch and waste my time onwards. Hope you will understand the customer call seriously and act on priority basis.

Implement the rule and harass customers this is now new trend . Should support to customer if they are genuine...
Now Airtel not even take our call and they did connection as well. Shame to companies no accountability towards client.
