    Hi,

    I am using Airtel number [protected] but from 1 week, facing network issues like connecting number as well as using Internet.
    I have complained over customer care number but always they said due to some technical issue, Neither they solve the issue nor arrange call with superior.

      I recently deposited an amount of rs 5000 in my airtel wallet. Now when i try to do any transactions from it a notice appears and says "debit for this account is not allowed".
      Cc from airtel what does it mean. Quite frankly i care less about what it means. I want you people to kindly solve my problem because i got other things to do too

        Im neeta sharma and an airtel costumer with no [protected]. I have recharged my no with 398 on 10 nov 17 for 5 gb data at 2206hrs. My money was cut through free charge and credit card and got the message that recharge was successful. However i have not received the data of 5gb. I filed a complaint the same night and no is [protected]. Its been two days neither have i got the data nor the refund of money. I have contacted them and they say different things every time that such recharge does not exist or data have been recieved by me. I want to get my money refunded. I have all relevant photos and call details with me.

          I recharged for 399 pack on august 31st which clearly says unlimited local+std call and 1gb data/ day for 84 days. Now after 70 days they started deducting money for voice calls. But in myairtel app it clearly says your pack will expire in 10 days as of today which comes to 84 days. When i called customer care they are trying to cheat me saying only voice calls are valid for 70 days but in the message i received from airtel it clearly mentioned unlimited local + std for 84 days.. Now they are trying to cheat me deducting money from balance after 70 days for voice calls.. I dont know how many people got cheated by airtel like this.

            Hi,
            I have taken an airtel iphone connection last year, and was paying as per their bill plan. On march i have got a call from airtel and asked me to change the plan, and i have changed as per their advise. The next month i have got huge bill where i have seen that my emi part of airtel bill was removed, and charged separately on the same bill and hence the high amount. I have requested them to revert it back and after few weeks of follow up, they have changed it.

            The challenge after that is they are cutting the emi as part of the bill, and deducting the emi directly from my bank account in parallel. I have raised this complaint from april many times with the airtel team, few months they have adjusted that money in the next bill.

            Last 2 months i am following up with them on the last 2 deduction and have asked them to stop deducting the money from bank account directly. They have agreed on september and october, and confirmed both the times that they have stopped this by talking to their financial organization. Still the story is same, and they are not returning the money back as well. I am talking to them on almost daily basis, everyone ask the whole story and will say they are working with escalation team. I would request your help on solving the issue.

            As per our last discussion, they have mentioned that my contract is already over on june 2017, and have deducted last 3 months wrongly. As per their calculation, the extra amount deducted is 1334*5 (2 months of duplication deduction, and 3 months after the contract).

            Thank you for your support in advance.

                Topdoctorsonline service activated on my airtel without my consent on 12th nov 2017 and deducted rs 7/

                Please deactivate it and credit rs 7 back into my account.

                Please make sure that you don't activate any services like this unless your customer type the sms and send it to airtel. Otherwise, it makes me believe that airtel is indulging in cheating its customers.

                And i deactived it but i didnt get my money back. Please send it back.

                  Hello,

                  My airtel number is [protected].

                  Without my consent a service topdoctorsonline got activated and airtel has debited rs. 21 today.

                  I have never given consent for this service and this money is fraudulently debited from my account. I will need my money credited back to my account from airtel.

                  If this money is not returned, i will have no hesitation in shifting to vodafone in next 2 working days.

                    Address: 201008

                    Hello sir/ma’am,
                    (My number at the bottom of mail)

                    I’m quite an old customer of airtel and ported out from airtel in august due to roaming issues and ported back to airtel after completion of 90 days in other network.

                    The problem is this last mnp.
                    And it is a port-in issue, not the port-out issue.

                    I have got the airtel 3g/4g networks last night (11/11/2017) at 22:00 (10:00 pm) but this is 12/11/2017 (Dd/mm/yy) and more than 14 hours of porting in that i’m not getting any incoming calls or sms!

                    My bank is unable to send me any otp whatsoever!

                    There is a complete block on incoming and when i dial from some other phone it says “you’re dialing an invalid number.”

                    Similarly; sms is neither coming in nor going out.

                    I can make calls though through that ₹5/- welcome token by airtel.

                    Summary:

                    1. Ported in airtel on 11/11/2017 at 10:00 pm (I. E., networks came in new sim).

                    2. No incoming calls/sms since then, it’s been over 14 hours.

                    3. I can make calls but when someone dials my number the call is forwarded to carrier and automated voice says “you’re dialing an invalid number.”

                    4. Customer care executives have no clue about it.

                    5. Don’t recommend switching off the phone, reinserting sim, cleaning sim, etc. This is not the issue from my side.

                    The issue resolved itself after calling customer care twice. BUT I’M DAMN SURE CC executive did nothing. First executive said at 11am that wait for 1 hour (standard timings are 30 mins, 2 hrs and 4hrs and rest is 24 hrs and 48 hrs so she seemed to have no clue to me and I just hung up). I called again and the new guy told me that there’s some technical issue that will be resolved within 4 hours (that’s standard waiting time so I just asked him further but he had no clue apart from knowing what standard waiting time is). After half an hour, I retried sending START 0 to 1909 that was failing constantly and to my surprise it went through. I called my number and it came as busy! I sent a PORT my number to 1900 and it went too. I called myself again and call came. Did shopping online, bank otp came. So! Everything is working after 21hours of getting networks on my new sim card. Although VODAFONE took 10 minutes in the process where Airtel takes 21 hours. But for various reasons I love Airtel

                        [protected] postpaid mobile registered in my name @aman kumar sharma with plan 149 per month.in the month of august 2017 i have received 10gb free data out of which used only 202.27mb and billed rs175.82 and paid on 23 sept 2017. The remaining data carried to next cycle and also received 10gb more free data out of which i have used only 2136.92 mb. But my bill for the month of september which normally should be generated on 5th or 6th of every month delayed and generated on 27th or 28th october on my airtel app as rs 783.85. My airtel app is still showing 17.50 gb data balance as on date. Till date i have not received my detailed bill through e mail which i continuously receiving every month. I talked to customer care three times and they assured me that there is discrepancy and will be rectified sòon and asked me to wait for some days. But after so many days no update is received. These days i am not using my airtel mobile due to this problem.
                        In the meantime the bill for month of october 2017 generated and displayed on my airtel app but after some days it is removed and bill for month of september is displaying with due date 15 nov 2017.

                              I have applied for a new broadband connection on october 31st by paying 3 months advance amount. I haven't got the connection till now. I want to know the reason why this much delay in giving connection. It's 12 days now which is highly unacceptable. I wrote a mail to airtel nodal office (Bangalore) no response from them also. Please find below the details of my new connection.

                                      I have redmi note 4 4g supported phone and a 4g airtel sim ([protected]), but after recharging with 4g pack it is not connecting with 4g, i already contacted a senior customer care executive and they told me to replace the sim then i replaced my sim but the problem is as it is. Now i am totally felling cheated with airtel and if you are not going to solve my problem then i am going to port my number to jio for better 4g services. I also attached the screenshot of my problem.

                                        3. Charged rupees 100 for sim activation (Cheating with customer)

                                        Hi
                                        I am lokesh kumar, i am having an airtel number [protected] from the last 12 years. This number is registered by my mother name sumitra.

                                        I lost my cell phone on 10th november 2017. I asked to blocked the sim (Airtel and vodaphone).
                                        Next day, 11th november 2017, i went to airtel store shalimar bagh delhi 110088 to get duplicate sim. They charged rupees 100, which was the fraud and they said sim will be activated within next 4 hour but even after 6 hours my sim did not get activate. I again went to airtel store and the staff said go to some other airtel store. They misbehave with me and abuse me.

                                        Its almost more than 14 hour and my sim didn't get activated even i called to customers care and gave complete derails. Customers care said sim will activate within 1 hour but its more than 2 hour...

                                        Who will pay my losses???
                                        Action against airtel store staff???

                                        Thanks and regards
                                        Lokesh kumar
