Subject: Re: MIGRATION FROM POSTPAID TO PREPAID & THE PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE [|BAL|9789937899|709201017829|]

hi prabhakar,

I thought it is

just the customer service agents who are making a mistake, but now from your

mail i understood where the problem lies in... In-spite of me, mentioning my

contact number (in the end of original mail & also in my mail signature)

clearly in my mail, you are saying that you tried to contact me many a times in

my old no..

Now regarding your

request to clear my bill amount... i cleared all my bill dues when i gave the

first request on 26th may but its been your representatives mistake of not

taking any action on my request and so my monthly rent & hello-tunes

got accumulated and now I've a Outstanding of RS. 1077.76 /- for the bill for

last 4 months and unbilled amount of Rs.30/- as on date.. this clearly being a

mistake/ error from Airtel's end i cannot pay the bill for that..

I'm now living

at Bangalore and none of the relationship centers here accept the request for

postpaid - prepaid conversion for TN phone nos.. i'm

in Bangalore from February'10 but i paid my bills till may, even though

i dint use it because they didn't accept my request here in Bangalore and so i

came back to Trichy mainly for that matter. This being a complete mistake on

your end i request you to take corrective action and convert my postpaid to

prepaid without me having to pay anything as i don't have any usage on the

card..

Thanks & Regards,

Pradeep. M

Subject: migration from postpaid to prepaid & the pathetic customer service

hi,

I'm writing this with regards to my TN Airtel phone # 9789937899. I

gave

a request for migration of the postpaid no to a prepaid as i'm not using the

no

very often since I've moved out of TN. this request was given in the Trichy

cantonment AIR CONNECT showroom on 26th of may after clearing my outstanding

bill of around Rs. 1563 with all the required documentslike my photo, written

request and my ID proof. On monthly basis i still get my bills. and they still

renew my hellotunes and charge me a late fee also.my number is still not

converted to prepaid and they say the reason is i've outstanding now.your

executives made a mistake of not converting it to prepaid when i cleared all

my

outstanding and later they accumalate my hellotunes and monthly rentals &claim

i've usage and cos of that they cannot convert. this is ridiculous, every month

i'm calling in to customer care repeatedly and every manager says something

different and they promise that it'll be done in 48 hrs or so but i never hear

anything back from them within the time they promised. My bills come on time

without fail, but not any resolution.

Also your collection agents are calling in to my friends, whose no i've given

as a reference at the time i got the connection.and they never call me in

my Bangalore no though my friend gives my contact no to them. they never call

me and ask for a bill instead they keep disturbing my friend every 10 days in

spite of he giving my no. last 10 days back even i spoke to the collection

agent thro conference call and gave my Bangalore no to the agent to call me

in

that no but i never got a call from him, but then they still keep calling my

friend. he is also furious with the Airtel service and might be cancelling his

connection too.. i've been using many airtel nos from the very beginning for

the past 6-7 years and i've never faced any problems but now i'm having issues

with all the airtel connections that i'm using. your customer service had gone

down. if this continues to happen then you might loose all the customers and

the top position you claim to be in INDIA.

I'm thinking of cancelling my TN postpaid all together, my Bangalore

postpaid,

my Airtel DTH and also my mom and dad's airtel service altogether and moving

to

a different service if this is not been taken care of within this billing

cycle

making sure i'm not getting any more bills with the prepaid conversion been

done.

Any communication regarding this should be in the no 9663978999 or to this

mail

id

Thanks & Regards,

Pradeep. M
