Bharti Airtel to Vodafone to Tata Docomo to Idea cellular.. all of these service providers have somewhere here or there done something wrong and have made the users suffer. What should they do to provide a better service in this era of MNP where they can loose customers anytime??

Increase efficiency

idea posted by Kavitha Shankar Sr/Principal Coresspondent, ABC

This is something from my personal experience.. I had deactivated my sms pack and still it got renewed and money got deducted it left me with negative balance at night in the middle of road when I was about to make a call to pick me up ad there were no transport modes available.. When I contacted CC they just said that once deducted they can't refund. It wasn't my mistake and still I suffer. The next day I got a new sim (MNP was not active at that time).

This industry has grown faster than any one anticipated.I feel that the service providers are unable to coop up with demand of after sale service ,due to shear volumes.Their main draw back is man power/call centers who are absolutely inefficient ,may be 20-25%.Same thing has been true to their accounting software,mostly attended by staff who are over worked or less informed. The fact Service providers are making extra money in the guise of this inefficiency.And therefore ,quite happy to continue. What is required is 1.Will of service provider to be honest and efficient 2.TRAI to take initiative 3.Consumer forums to initiate higher penalties 4.Similar to Railway consumer panels,each provider should have a panel to monitor.

Change in Mangaement system & Customer service center

idea posted by Virag Shah Confidential
Ms. Kavitha i agree with you, there are many kind of problem facing by many customers every day. Your problem and complain will true definitely and even though telecom company's are also know very wwell about this complain. Before 3-4 years ago when caller tune service was launched, same problem that automatically caller tune was activate and company were not giving refund like that. It sholud require many changes in telecom sector as well as policy. Some times even customer care executive also not giving feedback properly due to their company policy. They said only "SORRY". Till date people are facing lot of problems, not seen much improvement. Not much expectation that telecom sector will improve their service or not. lets see

Tricky Providers

idea posted by Dr.G.S.Rama Rao Freelancer

Yes Kavita. I too was vulnerabl and underwent the pains.For more than an year, they were  deducting certain amount every month  without my knowing.  Whenever  I tried to get rid of that(stupid service),  it was further more costly. Customer care,then, was equally mischievous. Later, I understood that almost all providers play such tricks.
