      Hello sir,
      I am a customer from airtel last 9 years or more. From october onward they imposed to recharge additional plan or pack to receive incoming call or outgoing call even i have money in main balance. They said that i should recharge to continue i/c or o/g service else your sim card service will stop. When i bought airtel sim with a customer agreement of lifetime validity on sim card service and before october 2018 they show my sim card has a validity of 2035.
      That you had passed the order that the telecom operators should not cut the consumer incoming and outing calls. But now service providers start to cut i/c or o/g facility without any proper notification or while contacting the customer helpline of airtel they didn't give any proper reason and they are blaming the trai (That you only told to cut the calls for the consumer). And more importantly when we try to call about its clarification they blocked customers for contacting the customer care. I request you to take necessary action as soon as possible for solving this telecom operators cheating activities.

      Regards,
      Fazlur rahman
      Kerala.

          Telecom companies such as Vodafone and Airtel have stopped the incoming and outgoing services despite having a lifetime validity sim card with a certain amount of balance in prepaid sim. As it being my old number I have connected it to all major services such as banking, income tax, and for various other private institutions. I am having problem to do my day to day important activities related to it. It is highly ethically incorrect just to increase the profits. If they are not able to sustain they should not run the company rather than harrasing it's customers.

                No channels are coming from eve 6pm. From 2 months i have raised more than 10 complaints and made 50 calls but no proper response. They are not closing my account and not refunding my money. I took yearly pack for 5700 which is frustrating for me and 2500+ for set top box. They don't care about customers. Please take this seriously.

                I was promised lifetime validity sim with one time recharge of RS 1000/-. Now unilaterally vodafone.
                I have asked for refund of recharge but not
                Given, gets SMS of disconnection.
                Can anyone guide what's to be done?
                Vodafone Mumbai had breached the contract unilaterally, now wants to gobble
                Balance amount of sim.

                  Dear sir,

                  I have been using vodafone and idea sim since last 4 years or more time

                  But since some time vodafone and idea both have a message in sim, that recharge every 35 rupees per month.

                  If it does not happen, then the incoming and outgoing facility will be tied to your phone.

                  If it is a kind of force

                  And both the idea and vodafone sim can not be tied, because the number is given to the bank and lots of places

                  Kindly solve the problem as early as possible.

                  As i understand that many customers facing same issue.

                  Warm
                  With thanks and regards,

                            This is not a complaint, this is my query. I want to know - q) is it compulsory for a
                            Subscriber to take the basic pack of 100 free to air channels at rs 130 (Plus taxes) along with the paid channels which he/she will choose on a la carte basis?

                            Please clarify if a subscriber can opt not to take the basic pack of 100 free to air channels or he /she has to mandatorily take the basic pack.

                                    The base is rs130 and to buy the additional channels like E TV, GEMINI, MAA TV, Z TELUGU, SPORTS the customer has to pay additionally 80 rs to wacth. before this the cable operators provided almost 420 channels at the price of 150 rs.
                                    now a days TV become one of the part of daily life for all the people but due to this rule the people who have money can only see all the channels but what about the daily labour situation.he cannot able pay the 220rs for month.

                                    what I want to convey is provide base pack with all the channes like E TV, GEMINI, MAA, Z TELUGU, SPORTS etc for rs 150.so a everyone can watch the channels a poor person can also offered the price.

                                    and more over the DTH people are going to get more profits due to this rule but the cable operators in villages will loose there income in india we have 555000+ villages each village cosist 1 cable operator so directly 555000+ people is going to loose their orginal income.

                                        Couple of months ago vodafone announced of minimum recharge pack mandatory even if the customer has lifetime validity account or the customer outgoing validity will be stopped.
                                        Trai made notification after vodafone announcement that no customer mobile would be deactivated or service stopped if customer satisfy trai terms (I. E mandatory minimum talktime, minimum one usage in period 90 days.)
                                        What vodafone did is rejecting trai order as they know trai can not do anything if they do unfair trade practice and stopped customer outgoing validity who has lifetime validity forcing customer to recharge their minimum recharge plan. Hence predatory pricing.
                                        Coming to trai defense on predatory pricing, they were not represented well. My suggestion to trai, first show your power against telecom operators like vodafone by taking their operation as they still violating your order and activated all customer number who's outgoing call was deactivated.
                                        And for predatory pricing defense. Example: a company promoted and sell a service to customer for a period of time as advertised as lifetime validity (Say 20 years) but shocked the customer later that they changed the terms and will charge customer monthly. What this practice called is unfair trade practice (Predatory pricing for existing customer who has lifetime validity account).
                                        Note: trai! Vodafone has no indian interest in heart as per the constitution of india. Because they are violating not your authority but indian laws as they are still charging their customer till this date 17th december, 2018 total disregards of your terms, ruling. They are using the tribunal judgement as excuse to charge customer because trai predatory pricing order and trai regulation on deactivation of cellular mobile service order are two different orders even supreme court ruled earlier that no company, businesses can clubbed one judgement on one order with another starving indian law and justice. Hence, it is termed criminal nature of business.
