Dear Consumer Forum,

I am very greatful and very much obliged that recieved such a nice response from
consumer forum so quickly. I am very thankful.

Am aged about 59 years old, using the same number from more than past 4 years.
The number was in the name of my previous company before, it was under the corporate
connection in CUG (Closed Users Group) scheme.

I shifted my residence on October 31st 2008. On 2nd February 2009 placed a request
for transfer of the same number from my company to my name. In the same time as
address proof, gave all my details as well as all kinds of proof to support my
residential address.
I have the acknowledgement for the same. It says that the transfer will take 2 days.
On the same day have paid towards the bill for the month of December-January, in the
receipt for the same it is mentioned that "Recieved From Scion", which was my
previous employer.

Within a span of 2 to 3 days, executives from Airtel had come to my place for
address verification, they told that it is for the address verification purpose. But
for which have not recieved any kind of acknowledgement.

Have recieved my bill for the period 11-Jan-2009 to 10-Feb-2009 on 20th February
2009 at my new residence through post, where in the connection is in my name, and my
new residential address is mentioned in the bill. I have paid towards the same bill
on 2nd March 2009, where in, in the receipt it is mentioned that "Recieved from
Rangaswamy C N".

After this bill, have not recieved any bill from them for the next billing period,
but have been using the same number, when called to the customer care to enquire
about the billing details or the amount, there were some technical problem in Airtel
as told by the customer care executives, so was not able to recieve any bill, have
got the reference number of all the complaints which I have lodged through customer
care at 121. After making so many calls and complaining about the bill, I have
recieved an extra talk time of Rs. 200 from one of the customer care executive, for
supporting the same, I have recieved a message also from Airtel.

At last recieved a paper bill by post at my residence on 4th April 2009. On the same
day recieved message from Airtel saying that the usage of the number would be
disconnected because the address verification is not completed..

Along with these things, in December 2008, there was no network coverage in my area
for a period of one month, have request reference numbers also for the same, which
was supposed to be rectified within 1 weeks time, took around 1 months time. I am
living in the city limits not in a forest, if it was forest I can understand the
netwrok problem means lot of ground work for Airtel, but how about city limits.

It is so irresponsible of Airtel, are they relly want to test the patience of the
customers'? or they really want to check how quick responsive the Citizens of India
are?

Because of these things I have lost my patience, money, precious time, mental peace.

Are the above details enough? Please let me know in case if any other supporting
things or documents required?

Please revert for any clarifications,

Thanking you once again,

With Regards,
Rangaswamy C N

Airtel introduced scheme of 10,25, Paise per call for airtel to airtel and 30,50 for airtel to other for Government servants before two year ago. After two year they sent one sms that they will deduct Rs. 1per day as rent. While refiling they deduct Rs.50 per month. Apart from this money they will Rs.30 per P.M as rent. It is one of cheating of customers. Please look into matter.

On 14th August 2009, I bought a one pre-paid Mobile SIM card (Number :9650978685) with life time validity from your Airtel relationship center( Super Technosys) located at Sector-4 Vashali Ghaziabad. I have submitted all the company required document at Super Technosys (Airtel Relationship Center). Given number were working fine for next 5 days (i.e. Till 20th August 2009). On 20th of August 2009 I have received one Text SMS from the Airtel that your document formalities is not received. After receiving this msg all services (Voice & Text) have been withdraw with immediate effect. I called & logged the complaint at Airtel customer care (121) in this regard on 21st of August . Customer care executive told me that your application form is not received at Airtel (but i have completed all the formalities at Airtel relationship center at the time of SIM purchase) please do contact at retail shop from where you have buy this SIM.
While I connected with the Airtel Relationship center (Super Technosys Sector -4 Vashali Ghaziabad) on 21st of August 2009 they told me that your SIM has been damage that’s why you SIM is barred permanently you have need to re-install new SIM and all the service will start with in 48 Hrs on the same number (9650978685). I have reinstalled new SIM and again I have submitted all the documents at same relationship center (Super Technosys) on same day (i.e 21st of August 2009, 1800 Hrs)
I am very much disappointed because my mobile prepaid connection (9650978685) has been still in de-activated state without any of my fault & I have already completed all the formalities twice. Customer care cell is unable to tell me exact reason why my services has been disconnected and when these can be resolved
To resolve the problem I would appreciate your action which required to resolve my problem.
I look forward to hearing from you for resolution of this problem. Please contact me at 9650978683 by phone.
Yours sincerely

Hi,

Due to an error in the Airtel payment website, airtel had debited my account 3 times.

I had opted for the excess amount reversal and give the account details of my husbands(from where I had made payment).Got A CONFIRMATION mail as to same would be effective as on 27th August 2009.

After constant follow up,& after customer care guys banging the call on me, they reverted on 31st August after i called them that they can credit money only to account number with my name. And not sure how long it would take for same to be effective.

Without much of options & after going to so much of mental stress i opted for deducting the excess amount from my forth coming bills which i never wanted too.

These guys are pushing customers to Conner. This has to be stopped. As I had no patience to handle them i gave up. but thought will put my experience is as many as forum possible.
I don’t want them to cheat people like this.

Try your best to avoid Airtel they not at all customer friendly.

Regards,
Heral
