      From past 2 weeks i am getting message that modelmaniaw service has been activated & rs 35 is getting deducted weekly. Till today 2 deductions have already happened, on 2nd nov-rs 35 & on 9th nov-rs 35 deducted. I have not requested for any such service & kindly stop it immediately including refund (Rs 70). Already i have checked this forum and this has happened to many other customers too. So this is unfair play and harassment by airtel which should stop. I have already raised complain reference number pr[protected] and waiting to see the action from their side.

          Dear sir/madam
          This mail may be considered as notice and complain against your service. I would like to mention that as per call from your back office [protected] at 15:30 hr (File attached) proposing 399 plan the person itself declared that 399 plan is fixed which included gst or any other type of service charge. Please listen to the attached 3gp recorded file. You can find it 3:40 minute onward. This is one of the reason for which i am agreed to take this connection. However when i received the bill it is showing extra charges. Kindly see my bill. According to the commitment the charge will be = voice (399/30) x18 +sms 4.50 = 243.90. Hence i am paying this only. I would request you to correct the bill. Previously i have complained about the data on dated 24/09/2017 09:30:30 pm and replied on thu, sept 28 2017 at 5:27 am and partially it has been solved.
          It concludes that reputedly you are harassing me. You are trying to cheat me every time. This is very alarming and well enough to rise a complain against you in consumer care. Please go through the recorded file and give service as committed. Below summary is given below.
          1. Commitment: 399 plan with gst and other charges (Fixed as said by the representative).

          Originally happened: as per last bill calculation done wrongly. Correct calculation is given above.

          2. Commitment: monthly 11 gb data.

          Originally happened: given after complain dated 24/09/2017 09:30:30 pm but only for 6 months.

          3. Commitment: unlimited whatsapp and facebook after finishing data.

          Originally happened: situation not came till now.

          4. * i have another recording that the your back office representative asked to give rs. 50.00 before getting sim card but till it is mystery for me. It should be placed in deposit money in my bill. It is not there. Hence please correct it.
          Further i would like to mention that the same mail sent to [protected]@in. Airtel.com on 29th oct but till today no reply or action has been taken. The extra amount has been added in the current bill.
          With regards

                      My porting request was taken on 1/11/17 and i was assured by airtel person that i will get the service within 7working days but till now my connection not resumed. I have followed up with airtel person for the same. When i told them if i don't get the service then i will move to other service provider, for my surprise your company guy asked me why i am so eager for airtel service then. This kind of service is simply unprofessional and not acceptable. I never knew airtel will give such pathetic service. Please address my issue and groom your employees so that they can provide better service to the customer.

                        Sir,
                        I have ported my reliance gsm number to airtel postaid plan. As stated, i was asked to dial 59059 to activate and for verification after inserting the sim to the handset. But when i am dialing 59059 it is not verifying my details, rather offering me few offers regarding ringtones and other waste stuffs for which i am not at all interested.

                        Now i am unable to receive any incoming calls on my number. Kindly look into the matter and treat it as urgent as i am about to receive many urgent calls on my number. My ported number is [protected].

                        My alternate number - [protected]

                            Recently i made recharge of 399/-, unlimited calls and 1gb/per day for 70 days. Unfortunately after one day of recharge, net is very slow during day time. Speed is not going beyond 2kbps. Also outgoing calls are not going if i keep network in 4g mode.
                            Please let me know whether you will be able to resolve or not.
                            I can port to other network thinking 399 rupees given to some beggar.

                              I recently shifted from bsnl to airtel via mobile number portability. I had visited an authorised retailer on nov 6th, 2017 to submit my aadhar details and give an mnp request. He was using the official airtel retailer app. He took my fingerprints and submitted my aadhar details, along with the phone number and upc code. Everything went by smoothly. The app also had an option of first recharge after sim was activated. He asked me if i wanted to give a first recharge amount. I gave him rs. 448 and he put in the details after which the app accepted it and gave him a confirmation that first recharge will be done.

                              Now, today (Nov 15th, 2017) my sim was ported successfully and sim was activated, but the recharge amount was not applied. Customer care executive tells that recharge had to be done after activation. But the official app couldn't be wrong. Retailer says that the amount has already been sent to airtel.

                              I request airtel to please recharge my number with rs. 448.

                                      My mobile number [protected] has been ported-in to Airtel by[protected]:30.

                                      But I am not able to recharge in the above number. So many times I have tried, but problem has not been solved till date. Airtel personnel had told that the matter will be solved within 13Nov 2017. Even after their commitment, the matter has not been resolved till date.

                                      I would request to look into the matter and solve the case urgently.

                                        Dear sir/ madam,
                                        I requested several times to migrate my airtel number from postpaid to prepaid mode of payment. I submitted all my necessary documents on 31st october and since then i've been waiting for the effect. But failed. Can i further request you to have the effect at an earliest? Otherwise i'll change the network by portability. Please do needful.

                                        FYI I've also submitted a complaint at Airtel helpdesk with reference no- OT[protected] . I'm doing all I possibly can, hence would really appreciate a quick resolution.
                                        Hi Team,
                                        I have recently recharged my phone with new scheme of Airtel 399 pack which offers free calls. But for some reason, they keep deducting my balance despite the special recharge. Please fix it and reimburse the amount that has been cut from my account in a completely unjustified way
                                        I want my Airtel puk2 code
                                        Outgoing calls are restricted by FDN
                                        My airtel sim has been barred from outgoing calls even without any prior notice or warning even though i use it regularly and maintain a sound balance all the time.
                                        I've recharged my airtel number [protected] with pack 259 where as i was getting 70gb data for 70days, , but frm last 7 days I'm not getting my daily data, , whenever i call them they just say wait for 24hours, , I'm very disappointed please have a look at my concern & resolve it asap
