I am an airtel delhi user since march '06. The problem these days i am facing, is the talk time given on recharge vouchers. Earlier if anyone got his/her account recharged for,say, rs 50,the talk time value used to be 44 rs. N there used to be no processing fee applicable for recharges below rs 100.
But now, the talk time on a rs 50 recharge is just rs 36.50. And even a processing fees is applied. What the hell is this. We pay up 50 rs. And the talk time is around 15 rs lesser than the recharge value. I agree that the service tax has increased but it hasn't increased that much.

Secondly, airtel promotes its new schemes for std/isd. 56% cheaper roaming rates. But less is worked upon towards reducing the local call rates. Now a local cal to airtel costs rs 1.20. And evn a msg costs re 1. Even if i go for a sms value card, then the problem is my call rates don't reduce. Only sms does. And i cant go for 2 value cards at the same time.

For eg. The 69 rs card in hutch gives sms at 20p, calls to local hutch at 49p, and to other mobiles at 99p, and std at 1.32 rs. And in airtel the 69 card is nothing but a waste. Sms costs re 1, local airtel to airtel costs 60p, to other 1.20 rs, and std is 1.65 rs.
Now i just want say to airtel, why ths greediness. At least think about the normal local calls sms using customer.

I have been trying to get my mobile connections No.9967766148 & 149 with bharti airtel disconnected for the past month or so as I found that the services were extremely deficient and tardy from the word go. I had also been misled on the schemes at the time of joining or perhaps I was really dumb at the time. Now I am finding that the number is not getting disconnected although the reply from them to each email informs me that action would be taken. No one from the company has contacted me so far. Meanwhile they continue to bill me. My deposit will I fear be lost as a result.

I am now considering taking the company to the c0nsumer court.

Hi guys,

This is to beware you that don't go for airtel mobile service in at least maharastra circle. Three months ago I purchased a life time validity prepaid connection from airtel. Later on I realized that I'm not getting incoming calls from BSNL landline numbers. Since then I'm complaining this to Airtel customer care and they repeat the same default procedure but my problem doesn't get resolved yet. As I have worked for Reliance telecom company in past I know the technical reason behind the problem. Several times I complained to airtel but it seems my problem will not get resolved.

It seems for me Airtel life time validity will get over withing six months itself :)

Friends beware of Airtel in maharastra and enjoy bye!

I have been raising the Complaint at Airtel Customer Care, Since a year... I am fedup of the Airtel Coverage. I don't know why Airtel Advertises itself for the 100% Network Connectivity. Because in our office @ L & T Infotech - Pune, which is located in the prime location in Pune, most of the employees have the Network Problems, there is no voice clarity and along with other problems. This is even @ my home in Pune.

I am not closing the connection because i don't want to change the number. I don't know what to do... Just waiting for some more time...

I am working in Dubai and I have an Airtel lifetime connection for more than two years with roaming. I used to go for Airtel GPRS connection for internet every time I come to India. I have used the same in Mar 07 during my visit to India. I came on vacation to India for the period from 09-07-2007 to 26-07-2007 and I have done a easy charge for Rs.274 for my Internet connection on 07-07-2007 and it was suppose to be activated with in two days. But it was not active after two days. I called them every day more than two to three times for the activation they always use to say that it will be activated by next day but it never activated till I return back to Dubai on 26-07-2007. I paid my money for nothing. Now I am looking for email contact complaint.
