  • Hi
    I am V.krishnan and i am air tel customer for the past several years. i have four air tel connections, in that one is prepaid (the number is 9008883005). 50 days back simply your people deactivated my pre paid number without any messege or any prior information. The reason for the deactivation I was told from Airtel Department that:if you are not made any calls or sms or any recharges for more then 45 days the number will be deactivated.

    But what is the system airtel is having i don’t know, because i used to make calls each and every day and making recharges two to three times in a month.

    After registered So many complaints for the same with the customer care people no one is responded in this regard,

    And now the same number is activated to some other person. This is the customer service air tel is providing, and each and every day any one customer care people is asking about the airtel services, if i tell somthing about my problem they simply tell ” i will get back to you with in 24 hours” after that there is no further actions.

    Just Airtel Cellular Services in India, is cheating the customers like anything.
    And in these cheating ways, now they are feeling proud to announce that they are having 100000000 customers in India. But they dont know that, they reached that goal in a shameful manner and by cheating the customers.

    Iâm Feeling very shame to be one among those customers of Airtel.

  • Before Migration From Prepaid to Postpaid, I was told that from Airtel Department that:

    All STD Call Charges: Rs.1.00 INR per minute
    All National SMS Charges: Rs.0.50 INR per minute
    All Local SMS Charges: Rs.0.05 INR per message

    Based on the above received information (commitment), I migrated to Postpaid and then my Bill got generated as per below:

    All STD Call Charges: Rs.1.50 INR per minute
    All National SMS Charges: Rs.1.50 INR per minute
    All Local SMS Charges: Rs.0.50 INR per message

    So many emails I sent to 121@airtelindia.com, nodalofficer.kk@airtel.in, appellate.kk@airtel.in. But no one is responding with regard to wrong commitment, Whilst I was getting the information regarding the bill plan (Which has no meaning for my email).
