Repeated billing despite requests to cancel connection
I would like to inform Airtel that I would be taking serious action against this continued billing when i have repeatedly asked the company to stop my connection, more than an year back. Due to possession of my HDFC credit card number, Airtel continues to bill me EVERY MONTH DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS ON PHONE AND ON MAIL TO STOP THE SAME.

I am extremly frustrated by this and WILL NOT continue to take this lying down

Not being a defaulter on credit card paymens, I have EVERY MONTH BEEN paying a sum of 600 rupees towards airtel for the past one YEAR as the credit card company tells me it is helpless if airtel keeps charging

Such daylight robbery is not done and I would be taking the issue to CONUMER COURT if someone does not contact me regarding this ASAP.

Cheating customers is airtel motto?

Fake recharge offer by SMS
I have received SMS from Airtel saying that If u recharge for 399 u will get 180 days validity.
I recharged my prepaid connection through my online back account .My balance got added but I got only 20 days validity. When i called the customer care they lodged my complaint and told after 24 hrs it will be added. When I called next day they are saying " you will not get validity if you recharge through online bank account".
My question is Why didn't you guys tell me this when i called you up at the first time?
It is no where mentioned in SMS that I should not recharge my cell using online banking.
Airtel making fools of customers.

Shifting not done
I have been trying to get my Airtel telephone and broadband line shifted within the same city since the last 1 month now. While, my telephone line was shifted 3 weeks back, my broadband line is yet to be shifted. Initially, I was informed that the request for shift of telephone only has been received by them, and was asked to send another request to shift the broadband. But, even after 3 weeks of sending the request again, I am yet to get the connection, and made to suffer for no fault of mine - or perhaps it is my fault to have trusted them to do the job quickly in the first place.

Each time I call their helpdesk, I am attended to by a different person, and I have to first do an explanation, and then the reply received is that 'someone will get back to me, soon' and thats it. No one ever contacts or bothers to get back as promised, and as far as redressal is concerned, all I get is mere assurances. I fail to understand the delay in attending to a simple thing as mere shifting.

Cheating customer on talk time worth vis-a-vis currency recharge
I recently put currency recharge of Rs 100 from an agent of Airtel called

Planet Communication,
chapel lane, nera akbarayllys, stall no 3, SV road, Santa Cruz (W) Mumbai-54

I asked him beforehand, if I recharge for rs 100 how much talk time I would get, and he replied for Mumbai customer there is a service tax deduction of Rs 12, for outside numbers it might be same or little more. When I actually recharged for Rs 100, I received a talk time worth Rs 9.99 - TransID713572045 (can you imagine?). This is how the premiere telecom company of the country is looting its customers.

Not only that, when I protested to the agent, he feigned complete ignorance, and in fact even mis-behaved using threatening language. So much for customer care.

I wish the company to further pursue such high levels of customer care, so that all customers in India and abroad know the real worth of the company... and how it has made its millions.

AirTel not disconnecting my phone
I am an old client of airtel but aprox 2 months back- i observed that I am unable to send mails from my laptop. Error message shows that AIRTEL IP: http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?203.145.128.6' is blocked due to heavy spamming. I contacted airtel and customer care make me dance for good one month.Customer care people did not knew about this issue and they keep on asking that issue will be solved within 24 hrs. and then again within...24hrs.

Issue never get solved and I decided to quit.

MY COMPLAINT:

1. Even after giving written and lot of requests on 121...they are not disconnecting my phone. I will be forced to pay rental with taxes.

I would strongly suggest to everyone-NEVER NEVER be an airtel client.

I am sure someone will hear this!

Defrauding and harassing customers!
Few days ago, I converted to my Airtel prepaid to postpaid connection. I have been a good customer of Airtel prepaid service for more than 1 and a half year. But in return , I have got such a bad service that I don't have words to say nothing bout it.

A customer care representative was sent by Airtel call center on my request to my office (Delmia Solution PVt. ltd, jp nagar 2nd phase, bangalore-78) as I was interested in migrating to postpaid connection. That guy (called Prataph from Microwave Communications - Airtel authorized point, cunnigham road, bangalore as mentioned in the bill - he has given the wrong contact no... also on the BILL!!!) is a complete liar and gave me wrong information regarding the schemes available. My post paid connection was activated after 3 days after paying 300 bucks as the initial charge. But to my utter surprise mobile to std landline was not activated for which I had taken the scheme, now the Airtel call center was asking for another 1500 bucks refundable for sub activation of that feature... No such charge was told while taking the connection...

Apart from that, I had some prepaid currency in my account, I was told that I can use by dialing some code for std. I tried after activation but nothing happened. I called up AIRTEL CALL CENTER 4 or 5 times. They said they have taken the compliant and they will activate it soon. Meanwhile after all this drama I went to AIRTEL office and the Airtel ppl told me that feature is no more there, my prepaid currency (around 200 bucks) has lapsed. So, nothing can be done! So u can understand my fury now:|

How they can run a such a big organizations with ppl of such questionable integrity??? Airtel authorized center send fake representatives with the whole intention of trapping the customers!!!

Airtel call center gives the wrong information!!! It means customers are helpless! I feel like moving to consumer court its simply ridiculous public nuisance!

I would be very thankful if something can be done and also it will be very consoling for me if the authority of Microwave communications, Airtel Auhtorized point, Maruthi Mansion, Cunnigham Road, Bangalore-52 has canceled so in future they might not trap other customers!
