MNP: Airtel's way of looting account balance

Let me explain how Airtel steals the money from users who request for Mobile number portablily(MNP).....

When a user request for the UPC ( unique porting code) by sending PORT <NUMBER> to 1900 Airtel  deletes the user from their network with in 24hrs. The user will not be able make any further calls and obviously the balance in user's account now goes to Airtel's pocket because as per TRAI regulations its not required to carry forward the balance to new operator. You call and complain Airtel customer care 121; you will hear that the number is deleted because of MNP request and they do not have any further information. If you request for more details then the resolution time is 3 days. If you do not get a satisfactory reply in 3 days then then next step is to report this issue to the nodal officer. The nodal officer's customer service will tell you that the number is moved to another operator as per your request. and they do not have any information on which operator it is.Strange !!!!.. If you argue that, at the time of number deletion you had not requested any other operator to port you in , then either they will ask you to wait for 3 more days to resolve the issue or they will give some reasons like the number is deleted because of non usage. Between if you had actually filed a port in request to any other operator the process will be completed by this time and Airtel will send you a mail stating that "Your number is moved to new operator successfully... enjoy the new network...". What a way of looting customers money.

As per the TRAI regulations the expected network down time should be maximum 2hrs. Airtel is violating this rule by denying service for nearly 7 days. I hope TRAI notices such cases and takes appropriate action.

This is from my personal experiance while porting from Airtel to BSNL and I lost Rs150 from my account. I have records of all communications with airtel  in this regard. I am planning to approach consumer court  for this ; its not about Rs.150 but the way they violate rules...

Huawei Myths

I am in Island Express on my way back to Kerala, one  of my co-passengers is sharing his wisdom about Huawei to his friend... I am sure this guy had never worked in Huawei otherwise he would have told such nonsense
As per this great personality...
      1.    Huawei has an RnD department and if you are a member of that team you won’t able go home before 10 pm on any working day.
      2.    Except very few RnD engineers all Software Engineers in Huawei are doing network component monitoring and maintenance. They don’t have to do programming
      3.    Huawei gives 15-30 percent hike every six month.....(Even Google and Microsoft can’t do this)
      4.    Once you work in Huawei for some time you are in a trap... you cannot move to another company because nobody would be able to offer you a hike on Huawei package (Obviously if you are getting 30% hike a year). And most of the time the HR/consultant will faint hearing your package.

Dude... I had worked four years in Huawei, that too in RnD... almost always I used to leave office before 7pm. I did not find it difficult to find another job too.... I must say Huawei is a very good company to work if you like challenges and taking up responsibilities...Also they trust young blood and if you are capable you can grow in your career quickly. And all those rumors about bad work culture are not true.

Shall I slap this idiot who is spreading nonsense?!!!!
