I had tried to load my airtel money wallet ([protected]) with 5000 rupees using the my airtel application on 1st nov 2017and the transaction had failed. I had closed the application.

Later received a message stating transaction failed and retry link to make the transaction. Upon clicking the link, my airtel application navigated to payment method to make payment for failed transaction amount of 5000.

The payment was successful and the airtel money wallet was not loaded, instead my number was recharged for 5000 rupees incorrectly.

Kindly investigate this issue and refund my money to wallet or credit card.

Attached the transaction message screen print and i'd proof for your reference

      Mobile data was deactivated from my number after changing a plan. I called and raised a complaint on Oct 24th but the request was closed in a couple of days without resolution. I have been calling customer care daily since then and I get a standard response: wait for 24 hours, backend team is working on it. Although my account has more than 13GB of data, still I can’t use the services.

      In this day and age, it is very inconvenient not to have Internet. The grievance is about their customer care which gives people false promises and is totally incapable of solving an issue.

      I also decided to port to another vendor and generated a porting code; even the risk of losing customers doesn’t bother them it seems. All this while I would be charged for a plan which has data but I wouldn’t be actually using anything.

      If anyone know about any appellate authority for Airtel, please let me know.

        I have lodged so many complaints to customer care about the network issue and call drop but they never took it seriously and problem is still the same.. Even getting worst. They have gave me free data free calling but because of their # service.. I am not able to use anything.

        Earlier airtel was one of the best network but now its really ghatiya. See the screenshot.. Network is showing gprs.

        I will never ever recommend airtel.

          Inadequate 2G tower and non-availability of 3G/4G tower reg. (Mob. No. +91 [protected])

          Respected Sir,

          With due respect I would like to inform you that I am using an Airtel connection, number mentioned in the subject line, since 2009. Moreover, I am continuously using SIM of Airtel communication channel since 1998 while I was student in Delhi. I have an another Airtel number is also, i.e. +91 [protected] and this SIM is also being used continuously since 2005.

          Further, I would like to inform you that my residence is AT BAIJALPUR, PO AMAIYA, PS VIA ASARGANJ, DIST MUNGER, BIHAR-813201 and there are so many issues related to adequate tower frequency in my village along with nearby villages, basically for 3G and 4G.

          I am continuously writing to Airtel for more than 2-3 months. Lastly I had written to them in 18.10.2017 regarding the issue but they are not concerned about anything, hence replied as usual, which is attached in a PDF file.

          Somehow, Airtel had arranged a survey and only one person was sent to my village. That fellow had reported Airtel team that there is no 3G/4G towers in the area and 2G tower is somehow working for outdoors also but indoor tower situation is poor. This causes often call drop, mostly data broken is often occurred due to broken frequency of networks in that particular area. There are 7 villages associated in our Panchayat (AMAIYA) and more or less all villages are facing network related issues with respect to 3G and 4G.

          On 26.10.2017, Ms. Seep Dutt, Customer Care Executive, Bharti Airtel Ltd. had called me and told me that a new cell site (tower) is required in the area and if you can provide us any land/plot (genuine) then kindly drop a lead for that. After that, on the same day in the evening at 6:00 PM I got a call from Airtel Network Team and I was asked entire details about the area and I stated everything truly. Network team was supposed to make a survey within 48 hours regarding planning of a new tower site but they didn't do anything. Instead, Ms. Seep Dutt called me yesterday, i.e. on 02.11.2017 and stated that there are so many things are associated with respect to installation of a tower and we need permission from Govt. also. I told her that where and to whom we have to contact you provide me the details, but she directly refused the things and told me that "nothing can be done right now and this is the best possibility of tower and we cannot improve it anyway".

          Sir, I would like to retain your kind concern regarding the issue that why 4G is being provided to all cities in our country properly and not for all villages? Population of our Panchayat is around 10, 000 and more tham 2-3000 Airtel connections are being used (rough figure - may vary) in that panchayat but there is nothing done with respect to 3G or 4G tower in the area because we all are associated with village. Why this partiality and neglecting attitude have been followed by Airtel would you like to answer me? I had written to PG GRIEVANCE PORTAL also but nothing could be done because the mentioned place is not a METROPOLITAN area.

          Sir, we villagers are also deserving better life-standards and we are achieving them for many aspects also. Earlier, Airtel team had informed us that within 2-3 months, everything shall be done in that area and now they are denying like anything.

          Kindly look into the matter to improve rural capabilities, as our government is also has taken so many initiatives to improve life-standards of villages as well as villagers. We all appreciate all initiatives taken for our betterment and thankful to our government and their governance.

          Kindly instruct Airtel and team to do the things sharply, as 2G data is also not working fine in the area, mostly for indoor. So, will you suggest all o[censored]s to go outside for almost every call and data services? Airtel is doing the same thing, that is instead of providing better services, they are instructing us to go outside of our homes regarding better calling and data services.

          We need your support with respect to better services of Airtel and providing a 3G or 4G tower at the earliest please.

          With kind regards,

                                I have taken 2 data cards from airtel for my company at kalyan location.
                                My payment cheque was cleared on 29th oct. The data card is still not activated neither there is any verification call from the airtel verification team.
                                The concerned person sandesh gupta is not responding with proper answers for the activation purpose. There is only one answer it will be activated tommorrow from airtel person.
                                I wish to take strong action against this airtel service.
                                All third party vendors are involved in activation of data cards.
                                There is no proper service from airtel.

                                    Hi,

                                    I recently upgraded my airtel 3g sim to 4g and post that there is no network on either of the sim. Calling the customer helpline was futile as they have no updates and keep on transferring the call from one department to other. I need quick resolution as all my financial transactions are dependent on the concerned sim card.
