[Resolved] Airtel Prepaid SIM — New sim- outgoing calls barred

D Deepa Surakattula from Hyderabad, Telangana Jun 20, 2009

I had taken a prepaid sim on Mon 5/25/2009 from a shop near by my office cybergateway hi tech city, Hyderabad. i gave the necessary documents& my account was activated within less than 30 minutes of my taking the sim. Than all of a sudden i get a sms from airtel that my application for the new prepaid connection has been rejected on 2nd june at 10:41 am (IST) & by the evening my outgoing calls are barred. at night when i call 121 customer care, they give me complaint number[protected].when i inquire, after getting the call escalated to the third level the manager customer service says that the documents which i submitted are not proper & hence my outgoing calls were barred. Now the things which i submitted to the shop keeper are : 1) My employer ID card 2) My PAN card 3) My Ex-voter's ID Card from orissa 4) A letter from my employer, on the company letter head regarding my current residing address with my house owner's name. 5) A recent photograph Now their stand is something like a passport with the current address given in the application, driving license, landline phone bills- BSNL( on my name), electricity bills on my name, Ration card or gas connection on my name should be given. Else it has to be signed & attested by a gadgeted officer. I dont understand that a person who is not a native of the place who cannot have any of these documents... can't he/she be given a damn prepaid sim... they are just finding new ways to harass the customer. & their customer service team is so pathetic that it cannot come clearly what it wants to convey. Was this information helpful? No (0) Yes (0)

Airtel Prepaid Connection — Calls Barred

I got one airtel prepaid sim card on 10th march 2008.I got it 2 months validity and call value worth Rs 2000.I submitted my electricity bill as verification document. But still my outgoing call were barred and i still have Rs 1700 left in it which i cant use for my official work.
Customer care is highly incapable and of no use.I am sure AIRTEL is worst operator in lucknow belt.
my number is [protected], which still bears the same problem

This mobile no. ia activated on 31.05.08 haveing advance rental Rs. 699.

but the credit limitd of above no. is 500Rs. As the advance rental itself crossing the credit limit, the outgoing calls barred.

Now, please make me understnd, If somebody has taken ur no. with same/different rental plan, then on the same day his mobile outgoing call will be barred.

Then what is the use of choosing airtel.

Inspite of submission of relevant documents twice, airtel customer support service in Mumbai has barred my pre paid no. With such harrasment, dream of being "MOST RESPECTED" company by 2010 will be distant dream for airtel.

Airtel Prepaid connection( New) — Unable to get the calls

Sir,

Yesterday I got the new connection of the Airtel Prepaid and the Number I got is [protected].
I am able to receive the calls from the Airtel Mobile but not from Airtel Landline and other service providers. As soon as the other party dials he gets "this telephone is not existing".

I made the oral complaint to Customer care on the same day, i.e 15th Oct 08 and today morning at 6.00am, 6.15am and at 8.45am they are saying it will take upto 22nd October. What is this irresponsible service.
Please clarify.

Waiting for the positive reply from the Airtel authorities.

Airtel Prepaid Connection — Outgoing calls barred

I took a prepaid airtel connection([protected]) two months back( August 2010) by submitting my proof of identity and photo at my nearby airtel office. Two days back my incoming and outgoing calls were barred giving the reason "Customer Verification failure". I called the customer care and told them the problem. They said they will rectify the problem within 24hrs. Then the incoming was activated but still the outgoing calls and sms is blocked. Again i called the customer care, they said my problem will be solved by November 8th. I did'nt expect such a bad service from airtel. What is the purpose of mobile phone if the outgoing is barred. Please help me out. Thanks in advance for considering my complaint
