          Dear team,

          This is about one transaction which got failed on november 20th, 2017 while i was trying to do a recharge of rupees 549 to my airtel number [protected].

          Since the transaction got failed, i can expect that the recharge did not reflect to my number but the worst part was the fact that the money got debited from my sbi account as well.

          Though i got the same recharge done on the same day via some third party vendor which was successful but still 549 rs. Have not been reflecting back in account which was initiated from my end and till today i have no information about the refund if it will be transferred back to my account or not.

          So request you to kindly look into the issue and initiate the refund of the balance either in my airtel wallet or my sbi account number from where the transaction was initiated.

          Hoping for a response.

          Please let me know if any information is needed from my end.

          Thank you.
          Regards
          Vikas guleria

          So please let me know if any update is available regarding the issue.

          Thank You.

            I recharged their 448 rs. Prepaid plan for my mother's number through paytm today at 9:13 pm.. It showed that payment has been done successfully. But she hasn't received any confirmation sms and no amount has been recharged.
            I have got an operator reference number in the invoice of paytm.
            It is[protected]. Since the complain registration is bit painful on ivr system and i live away from her, it has become a bit complicated process. Also there is nowhere mentioned on the website, how to register complains. Airtel please mend your ways and pay attention to your customers and their satisfaction.
            Her phone number is [protected].

              I have not been able to send sms from my airtel number for over a month now.
              After calling the service center multiple times on 27th nov between 8pm and 10:30 pm, all i got was incomplete and repetitive information.
              With the help of google i was able to find the steps to set the message service centre number but i get this error now : setting interrogation failed.
              The airtel "executives" have no solution and all i do is spend money on taking to customer care. Also, if i ask to talk to a supervisor, i am put on an indefinite hold.
              Apart from the inability of airtel to provide basic services like sms, having a incompetent customer care division who trick customers by putting their calls on hold and ignore them until they hang up by themselves is completely unacceptable.
              I am looking for an immediate resolution of my problem which is due to improper settings provided/made by airtel.

                    I have lodged a complaint in this forum on 23 nov 2017 regarding excess billing on [protected] (Post paid connection) and also lodged with the nodal officer. [protected]@in. Airtel.com.
                    Instead of resolving the grievance, airtel is demanding payment immediately and i am receiving daily calls.
                    I am having the correspondence made with airtel since 04 october 2017 which was forwarded to nodal officer today in pdf format.
                    I was using only whatsapp at all places wherever wifi is available n have not accepted any incoming calls nor made any outgoing calls. I have switched off the mobile data / cellular data through out my abroad trip. Yet i was charged with abnormal amount and was receiving calls for payment daily.

                    Trust airtel will wake up n delete the unnecessary / disputable charges levied and regenerate new bill so that i can dispense off with this post paid connection, which is nothing but robbing the customers

                              I made a complaint about network issue and its been a one month and still m facing an issue. If you are not able to give a better service then why are you asking for bill-payment? We are ready to pay but for better service not for poor and abusive services. Its pathetic and i think you should #officially declare your self as india's one of the worst service provider.

                              I have already filed a complaint about poor service but still, am facing the same.
                              Airtel customer service is also a very lower class. Now I want to port my number to another service provider. But Airtel has rejected my request by saying that u haven't cleared your bill payment. I have already paid my genuine bill amount even then they are like harassing me.
                              Airtel network services have gone worst since July 2018. I give 5 star of their worst services. I made complaint on 21st july for not getting network services but till July 26, nothing has been done except receiving their sms that they wil attend to complaints.
                              WORST HAS GONE THE AIRTEL

                                Dear sir / madam,
                                My name is mukund sharma. I am a serving military officer presently posted to a remote area in rajasthan. Few days before (In september 2017), i had bought an airtel sim [protected] primarily for internet connection so as to do away with frequent switching over of sim from mobile handset to the internet device. I took a regular 6 months pre-paid plan (For an amount of rs. 293/-) for broadband connection. Although i had paid the full amount in advance itself but still my connection was snapped off in an illegitimate manner without citing any valid reasons. I have been running to the dealer shop since last 7 days (Since 20 nov 17) but he also seems to be helpless. After waiting for quite a long time, now i do not have any other option but to resort to filing a written complaint. By virtue of being a responsible officer of the indian military, i am supposed to follow the orders of my superiors in the most befitting manner for which i need to travel very frequently to different places within a short notice of time.in such a situation it is quite difficult to function efficiently without regular telecommunication services.in view of the aforesaid narration your good self is requested to look into the matter and re-instate my internet services at earliest. Thanking you in anticipation! (Alternate number [protected])

                                      Hi,

                                      This is prakash, phone no. [protected], i have migrated my number from postpaid to prepaid on 25.11.2017, on the same day the my connection was disconnected, nor postpaid sim was working nor prepaid was active, then i took somwones phone and called the cc 198 may times everyone fail to inform that the conservation takes 24 hrs not ever your arc agent has informed me about this, really made things terrible to me.

                                      After the migration i had called somany time 198 to know my call rates, no one has informed me about frc, and i recharged for rs.20 as i had to make some urgent call, and now my call rates are very high as because i dint do frc and none of your have informed about frc.

                                      Never expected such errors from airtel in 6 years of my connection, really disappointing, regretting being with airtel, insted i have ported out my number to someother operator.

                                      Responsible authority's pls take serious action on this and justify the same.

                                      Looking forward to your reply.

                                      Thank & regards,
                                      Prakash d.
