On dec 23rd there was a debit from my credit card for my airtel number [protected]. It is a corporate number and hence i wanted the refund so that my organization can pay the due amount instead of me.
The customer care executives claimed that they had done the refund and hence revoked the payment. But, after multiple follow-up calls and emails, i still could not make the customer care executives understand that i have not received the amount. Neither my organization did. Every other day a new person gives a call, tries to understand the problem and send a mail as closure. First and foremost there is no one person tracking the issue. Every other executive have their own resolution, make me send multiple information/details etc and then every time it ends with no resolution.
Till date none of your customer care executive could share the transaction details for the refund. Although i have submitted my credit card statements showing the payment.
I have been following up for 3 months. Nothing is more frustrating then requesting over and over again for your own money.

                      It has become the worst network. From last two months they are charging me wrong bill and without any intimation they have stopped my outgoing. After visiting to the airtel store they have started the services and told me they will change my plan from family to individual but nothing happened as such. They have changed my plan to individual basic and stopped my internet services and now no plan can be changed on my phone as plan can be changed once in a billing cycle.

                            Hello,

                            I am using airtel digital connection with Account [protected]-001. In october I have updated my package to 1 year HD which includes all the channels.

                            Recently I have noticed that I was charged 45 INR per month for Gemini HD separately from the month of October. I called customer care on 4th of March 2018 and informed the same. They said very sorry for the inconvenience and mentioned some package activated by mistake. They deactivated the same and promised that my money will be credited back to my account within 24 hrs.

                            Its been more than 48 hrs and my money is not credited. When I called Customer care again they say it is my mistake I didnt notice. So, they cant credit back my money.

                            Im platinum customer of airtel from 2007 (Mob: [protected]).. I feel I am cheated? I am not bothered about my 300 INR. I am concerned about the values and ethics. They are cheating the customers.

                            Kindly help to credit back my money

                                  sim not working after porting from jio to airtel

                                  I had raised a request with airtel for porting from jio to airtel. My old sim stopped working 10 hours ago and my new sim (Airtel sim) doesnt seem to be working. I am missing a lot of calls and feeling very helpless and harrassed as both my sims have stopped working and i dont have access to my number.

                                  Kindly provide solution as soon as possible.

                                  I ported my sim from tata docomo to airtel on 2nd march 2018. The sim was working for a while but now it's been 4 days and it's not at all working. The guy who did the porting told me that it will take upto 5-7 days for the new sim to get activated but why is it taking so long. I cant even use my sim for online purposes and nobody is able to contact me
