Wrong SMS for documents
I bought one pre-paid connection from Airtel Outlet located at Koramangala, Bangalore . After a week I received one SMS saying that the documents submitted were wrong. When I visited the outlet, the person who sold me the connection told me that we have not issued this number from this office. After showing her SMS and convincing her for 5 minutes, she told me that my documents were wrong. When I asked what was wrong, she was not able to tell me and asked me to come again after 2-3 days. No senior officer was available to listen me. She told me we have a lot of customers so can't pay much attention for me.

Also, I purchased STD pack of Rs.89 for making calls across India @Rs.1 and got talktime instead of STD facility. After asking she told me that there was technical problem on that day and denied to do anything.
She was just reacting like I have done some crime.

Sim not activated
Hi,

This email is being written on behalf of Ruchi Dwivedi. She had taken this mobile connection on August 2, 2007 from one of your dealer in Bandra West. I have submitted all the documents of which I have received the confirmation from your customer service department. I have spoken to the dealer and he says that he has already sent the sms as well. But your customer care department says that they have not received the same. I am stuck in between your customer care department and your dealer. I am least bothered what happens, but ultimately the loser is me and I have to bear a lot of inconvenience.

I am sure at least next time I will not go in for an Airtel prepaid or postpaid card under any circumstances and will not allow others as well. Your service really SUCKS… I am here out to work from my home town and I have not been able to speak to my parents since last 3 days because of you guys… it is ridiculous

Insufficient service
My name is gaurav.m a airtel prepaid tamil nadu customer since the past 3 yrs.however off late after makin its customer base this company has started to show its real colors.
On 20th aug,2007 i got a msg from airtel stating that i will be charged for each local msg at 5 paise...many got d same msg n r being charged but 70% of the people r not being charged a penny for their local msgs.wen i mad a complaint to d customer care i was told that only the people whose sim card were older than 6 months were being charged but the irony is that out of 6 people living in my flat and using a airtel simcard only 3 r being charged.n all these 3 people who r not being charged have their sim older than a year....
i really feel cheated n being devoid of my consumer rights....

Expiry schemmes
This is case of mistrust, and Airtel mobile service providers are playing with the customers trust. Trust is very important between two parties. Whether it is local service providers or government.

When you have introduced a lifetime scheme (student offer) quoting incoming call are free for lifetime. Provided you have to power your account for every 6 months.

Today also in my mobile when I dial *112# following message is displayed “ Your Service expiry date is 01/Jan/2025 and Your Airtime expiry date is 01/Jan/2025” along with hidden rider unless I go for power charging every now and then.

The dealers also says that you pay 500 bugs I will make it 6 months validity. Whom to believe? If the policy framed do not help customers then they are not polices at all. Again it is ridiculous that if you say lifetime why is that 2025 is restricted. That means I will die on 2025.

OK we agree and thinking that the scheme will be good. However, after 6 months you change your chameleon color that power validity is only for 3 months. What is the Guaranty that you will not again change to 1 month, or even less than that also.

Therefore, it is observed that you operate so flexible scheme that customer will get ultimate confusion and lodge complaint like this.

What solution lies in bringing trust in Indian Airtel Company?

Moreover, the customers are exploited in day light.

Complain against Airtel sim blocking system for prepaid connection
On my way back from my office on 1/09/07 , Saturday, in between 8.00 to 8.45pm somebody has stolen my cell phone with airtel sim from my bag. I immediately called the customer care personnel and requested to block my sim card but they declined the request and advised to produce a general diary memo of police to nearby airtel outlet, since it was too late so I followed the procedure next day first hour and went to nearby airtel outlet. Here they refused me to take any action on pretext of being Sunday and absence of there stuffs. Then once again I call the customer care and had a talk to a senior personnel and informed him the whole matter and request to block the sim, but unfortunately he rejected my request. He informed me that this sim blocking system is applicable only for postpaid connection but not for prepaid one and my connection being a prepaid he could not able to take any action.

My question is why this discrimination is going on and why airtel outlets refused to take any action on pretext of the day being the Sunday while they kept there outlets open and selling sim for new connection and that are being activated on Sundays in spite of it is a holiday. Having faced such incidence all my believe and respect to airtel, who claims to be the best and largest service and network provider, has been shattered.

Service problems
Hi all. This is regarding quality of airtel service in maharashtra. I'm saying maharashtra as I'm from the maharashtra circle, so I'm not going 2 comment on other service circles. The service S**K's...
The call drops are frequent, so frequent in specific areas, that while talking in my car, i actually tell the other person that as we talk the call will get cut, do not bother, i'll call back....

Its so damn embarrassing doing it time & again...the customer care rep's are very courteous, very helpful, but do not have enough information about what their job is all about... Absolutely no technical knowledge.
I don't blame the rep's, its just the kind of training they must have got.

AIRTEL desperately needs to clean up its act & concentrate more on customer satisfaction & customer retention rather that dish out some cheap schemes to attract more customers. What is airtel going to earn from the number's game when virtually every second customer they have swears at their service.
All i can say is..... All the best !!!!!!

Scam and cheating!
Despite having registered in writing on change of tao imperilment plan, the authorities failed to implement and billed me a higher amount in the August plan which I was holding earlier due to large number of call anticipated.

No action has yet been taken. This is certainly not expected dof Bharti Telecom.

Poor service!
A prepaid Airtel connection taken on my mother's name on 30 th June, 2007. After activation, it worked quite well for 2-3 weeks. Then it disconnected and whenever anybody dials this number a message comes i.e. error in network connection. On inquiry and advice from Airtel Mobile Dealer we deposited application with ID proof. More than 15 days past, the mobile is still not connected.

Beware!
