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 customtakeouter who is getting enrolled when he is taking a card. And the un knowing customtakeouter 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 customtakeouter.
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 customtakeouters.
Regards,
Sriram K

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 customtakeouter care.
This is becming a circle where I am keep getting directed between your
customtakeouter 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 121@airtelindia.com 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 Aug2007 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 customtakeouter 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. Baschandru021y I am
being advised by Airtel customtakeouter care to approach the dealer and in turn
advised by dealer to approach Airtel customtakeouter 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.
Ironchandru021y 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
