Airtel
Prepaid connection

No system of keeping record of prepaid customer and not bother to have a check on their retailer processes. Subsequently putting the customer at risk and trouble.

Hi All,

I am not going to write long about this product and waste my and your time.

I am just copying the interactions I had with Airtel on a phone SIm card missing case of mine. Please see the testimony of their response.

This company does not bother to collect and verify the customer who is getting enrolled when he is taking a card. And the un knowing customer approaches when the card is lost this company makes it a practice to say the card is in some ones name. I think this is a tactic used by them to ncrease the sale of new SIM.

They do not educate/control their retailers who are selling SIM. ANd ultimately put the burden on poor customer.

Most of the time this company's contact us site detail is not opening. Even their corporate office phone numbers provided on the contact us dtail (011-46666100) 42666500 are un attended. I am wondering how this comapny and their people are being regarded as the rising stars from India and quoted as example of success.

Okiey now the mail:

Remember for the mail below also I got a reply saying "

Dear Nodal Officer,

this is Reminder 7.

as per the mail below the SLA provided is 24 hours. But nothing happened after that also. I am surprised to note such a big organization like Airtel is not caring about keeping their commitments up to the customers.

Kind Attn: Mr. Shastry SBN

Dear Sir,

Thank you for taking your valuable time off to go through my mail and to

respond.

In this regards, I would like to clarify some of the points.

You can see that I have mentioned I visited the airtel relationship enter also

: At Nallaya Complex - Thanjavur - 613001. And I was again directed to the

airtel customer care.

This is becming a circle where I am keep getting directed between your

customer care and relationship center.

If you can advise me what exactly the relationship center incharge would do to

resolve my issue, it would be helpful.

And FYI: the mail id [email protected] is not functional. Mails sent to

this ID are getting delivery failure reports. If you could notice I have marked

this id also in my previous mail.

Thanks & Regards,

Sriram

Dear Sir/Madam,

this is to bring to your kind notice of an issue I am facing in getting back a

duplicate sim card for a sim number which I lost along with my phone hand set.

The sim bearing number 9944470595 was purchased by me in Aug and I was

using it continuosly for last 3 years. I lost it 2 weeks back. Since then I am

trying to get the same number and called up Airtel customer care several times

and visited the Airtel dealer center but in vain. Neither of them owns the

issue and I am getting dragged here and there in this issue. Basically I am

being advised by Airtel customer care to approach the dealer and in turn

advised by dealer to approach Airtel customer care.!!!

I gave my ID proof and details while purchasing the number at Thanjavur and

using it. I still have the packing of card with me. But when I approached

Airtel for getting a duplicate sim for the same I was told that the sim is

under different user name but I am sure I gave my ID proof and bought the sim.

Ironically they are asking me to provide the address proof with which I

originally purchased the number?? And I am telling I bought it in my only with

my ID proofs!!! Rest of the confirmation questions like what was the last

re-charge amount and which is the freuently called number, incoming call

numbers and all I provided the clear answers and the same was validated by

Airtel. And still I am denied getting back the same number.

When I asked them to advise what other proof I should provide to provide I am

the owner of the number I came to know to my surprise that there is no way and

Airtel do not have a process for the same. In this context I would like to know

how do I prove the authenticity of me using the SIM and get back the same.

Kindly get this investigated please. According to me this detracts from an

otherwise good product.

I would like to request you to look into the issue and resolve ASAP.

Thanks & Regards,

Sriram
