I am practicing anaesthetist at Hisar (Haryana). I got a postpaid connection activated some 15 days back. After 2 days of activation my services were barred due to negative verification report by your executive, who probably did not at all visited my place as it is located at a very prominent place and the address was correctly written on the form. After my visit to custmer care office at Hisar (Haryana) my connecation was reactivated with the assurance that this would never happen in future.
Here I am sorry to mention that my connection has again been barred since yesterday night with no prior information and the reasons not known to even your custmer care executives situated at Mohali.
Kindly expedite my reactivation to avoid further losses to me or I may discountinue your services.
This has resulted in professional as well as monitory losses which is still on going. I am really upset with this services provided to me.
Thanking you,

Im ready to furnish all details and take course to legal procedure against an AIRTEL customer relationship centre at Nagpur, Laxmi Nagar namely, R C Cellular.
As far as my case goes, according to their scheme i had opted to changing over from prepaid to postpaid service.
But, after 7 days an altogether new number has been alloted to me and my original number has been suspended as they say.
The 'executives' there used unparliamentary language and their tone was everything but humble and apologetic.
The people there are not worth being called as customer relation executives. It speaks bounds of AIRTEL's commitment towards customer satisfaction...Just shahrukh in your ads wont do!
Il make sure they bear the brunt.
Im a wannabe manager afterall! (HR)
Thanks!

Dear sir,
this airtel friend card is 5 local numbers r 0.15paisa min. But 1 STD number is not activate in my number [protected] . So many time i call in customer care but no body help me.

Hello Sir,

I am Ritesh Nigam, Sector-G, LDA Colony, Kanpur Road, Lucknow. I applied for a Airtel postpaid internet connection in November 2007.But the connection could not be provided by the airtel so they said my money would be refunded but it has been 6 months now and no money is refunded and neither any information is provided by the Airtel about my refund.

Kindly look into this matter and reply as sson as possible.

Thankyou.

Airtel has discunnected my service after 4 years with out giving proper deadline to resubmit documents, Though I submitted documents again and again still my service is showing temporarily disconnected.
I called/emailed many times to customer care execative but their reponse is same like their service, they suddenly disconnect the call when they don't answer.
There asnwer is go to airtel relationship center and submit documents once again.

And when you submit the documents at airtel relationship center they are not agree to give any recipt of submission.

i was assured of 64 kbps speed of connectivity but it hardly provides 8 to 9 kbps speed. for the last one month i am trying to get my telephone disconnected. each time i was reminded for bill payment, i requested them to disconnect my phone. they told me that i should send written request to thair local office at hazratganj. to my great surprise my letter is not being received in that office at any cost. i have unplugged the airtel phone and broadband connection. i request the top brass of airtel to intervene in the matter to get the telephone number[protected] disconnected immediately. dated march 31, 2008.

I RAGHAVENDERA I'M USER OF AIRTEL SINCE APRIL 2006. COMPANY SUBTRACT MY MAIN BALANCE WHILE I ACTIVATED NIGHT CHAT PLAN .
KINDLY CHECK MY ACCOUNT ON 29TH MARCH AT 6:53
THANKS...

I used an Airetl potspaid connection while I was in Bangalore.I relocated to Pune and got the number deactivated.Since, ECS was active on my account, I placed a request so as to remove any further debit also on my account.Still, Airtel has been debiting rental charges from my account.I tried contacting the concerned people but of no use.121 sent back a mail saying that the amount has been refunded to my account, but no such action was taken.When I try calling customer care people, they keep me on hold nad do not respond.The customer service is pathetic. I dont think I will get the money refunded ever, but the sad part is I have spent more amount in calling them up so as to get the problem rectified.Is Airtel going to reimburse me this amount?

I have purchased Airtel Gold Post Paid Card and the sales man on the phone have promissed me to give my choice of number and they fail to do so and now 4 - 5 days have been passed but they have not activated my card and they do not attend my calls, if they attain my call they would only say that they will call me and they never call me.

When i asked from which company they are calling me they told me that they are from AIRTEL but i know that this is not true and they are just making me angry.

My number is [protected], the rough, harsh and insulting character of the executives made the companies reputation a lot .the excutives named RUKMANI AND VISHAL (FLOOR MANAGER) INSULTED ME ALOT AND CHALLENGED WITH ME.please make immediate action regarding this matter .

Respected Sir,
I am husband of Airtel Mobile No [protected] holder, myself serving for Indian Army in Counter Insurgency/Counter Terrorism area, My wife is staying tamil Nadu, Villupuram Distt, Tirukovilore Taluk.

She got the Airtel Mobile connection 45-60 days back. Since then whenever she send the SMS the sms amount is deducts Rs 2/min. But it says message sending failed. No of times she approach the concerned Airtel Area Customer Care Executive and lodge the problem. No response has been taken so far. Being army soldier it is necessary to contact with my family through message. Hence may I request you sir, please do the needful for the soldier who guarding the nation. in border area.
Thanking you.

I have taken my connection in last week of Dec 2007 and with all struggle, I got the connection laid out and working from 4th Jan'08. Despite of opting for ECS option, my connection was deactivated and when called customer care and lodged the compliant, at first, when I was venting my anger due to poor service and incorrect process internally they have, representative name Anand disconnected by call by putting me on hold for 18 minutes to get a supervisor. here are the compliant numbers: 4036692, 4037074, 4037056. Then Customer care manager Raj John called me and informed me at 11:30 pm that he will make sure that the connection will be activated in next 10 minutes and will send a representative to collect cash next day by 10:30 AM. He told me that as per process, customer should pay the first bill by cash and second bill onwards, ECS will be used for bill payment(this was not communicated to me and neither to my friends to whom I have suggested for taking the connection). The connection was activated after 5:30 AM and the representative came after 2:30 pm. This was the story in Feb'08. I have got the next bill for Feb which I should pay by 20th Mar, in which I was charged for late payment, which I conveyed by calling John that I will not pay for that and he assured that he will waive that money.

Now, again my connection was deactivated and when I called and enquired, they told that ECS was still not activated and I will have to pay cash again and I told all that happened in last month, they disconnected the call, then they called again.

These guys are cheating their own process. Normally, every call which they receive are supposed to be recorded. But, with the help of their supervisors, they disconnect the calls and then call customers to speak with customers as these calls are not recorded.

This all new story just happened today itself. And after telling the supervior to activate my account with immediate effect and send the person to collect cash, here I am with the connection. They do not have a internal process for customer calls handling mechanism, customer escalation process, informing the customer if there is any service problem which happened in my case, that ECS was not yet activated from Bank and they did not inform me of the same and disconnected my connection. This is nothing but a crap to hear from the Airtel customer service desk.

In telugu the meaning for Airtel is "Gaali maatallu" means "talking to air and there is no person to hear". The caption which they are holding now "barriers break when we start talking", may be customers are the only humans who keep on talking but the service providers are not humans to listen and understand and feel the pain in wrong place.

Wait for your bad time when you take the Airtel broadband service.

Billing [protected]

I had not been receiving bills for three months or so before Dec 07; only getting SMS reminders inspite of having asked for the bill.

On 5 Feb however, on my request to the local office, I had a visit from your rep and after having examined my case in detail, he concurred that the so-called late payment charges were not justified as bills had not, been received. In addition since roaming charges had been waived and the cost actually included in 'call charges' separate charge for roaming was not in order. He gave a corrected version of leviable charges which came to Rs 328.00 I gave a cheque for Rs 400.00 which included an advance payment of Rs 72.00 .

Now I have received a bill which does not take into account the corrections made by Airtel's visiting rep. I have spoken to him thrice since receipt of the latest bill.and he is expected to see me on 17th, a day after the last date of payment mentioned on SMS. Grateful for attention at appropriate level . Please advise

Regards

Lt Gen (Retd) M S Sodhi
