Hi everybody, i am using airtel prepaid number [protected]. Its looking like airtel is not able to compete with jio or running into losses that why cheating with the customers chose to still be with airtel. I have proper evidence and no one can challenge on this. I will show you how customer are being cheated and i am sure many of them don't know the right forum to escalate and airtel is getting benefited out of it. I got the msg on 9 oct stating "congrats exclusive offer on rs.399, 1gb everyday + unlimited calls for 84 days" but when i recharged with this amount (On the same day) and confirmation msg that i received stating validity of 28 days... I have attached the screenshot of both the msg received from airtel. I just want to say airtel people if this is how you have started making profits then there would hardly be any customer interested in airtel. I called customer care they said matter is escalated and its been 20 days no resolution. I will definitely escalate this matter to a highest level and once get the resolution will simply port my number to jio.

      My number [protected] was disconnected without my consent and reallocated to someone else.

      When i asked for information, airtel refused to provide it.

      I had paid for the number to be valid for more than 20 years, and there was balance in the number when it was disconnected.

      Airtel is not providing information on this as well, and are also refusing to tell exact date of disconnection.

      In order to file an official case, i need documents related to the same from airtel, and they are refusing to provide that as well.

          postpaid bill : excess amount charged consistently

          Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh
          Website: airtel.com

          I have a postpaid connection with airtel plan 499/month. I don't use more than my free calls. As you all know today joi/airtel everyone provided unlimited calls for 150/per month. But i pay 499+tax for limited calls

          But airtel charges around 800 last 3 months consistently, and i called them to 121, after speaking to the person they gave me the waiver of extra amount, also i need to pay the bill first and waiver will be adjusted...

          Sim is not working from 10/29/2017 and shows no service.
          Raised complaint on 10/30/2017 and no resolution for that complain.
          I went to airtel store they provided me the new sim, as they said that sim was faulty and new sim will be activated with 4 hours.
          After waiting around 14 hours i again call airtel customer service they said to me that sim activation request is not made from the airtel store, so again they took a request for sim activation.
          Still sim is not activated. As per airtel sim should be activated within 4 hours.

          Such a worst service by airtel.

            Dear airtel team,

            I am facing network and internet issue on my airtel postpaid number.

            I had sent porting request a month ago.
            One of the customer executive from airtel called me and requested me to wait as we are working on your network issue.

            Still i am facing the same issue and need to port my number to other network.

            Now, when i try porting my number sms port to 1900.
            It says, "you have entered an incorrect code. Please sms port to 1900 for initiating a new request.".

              Hi, i have been an airtel customer for years now with the number [protected]. I moved to lucknow recently from kerala and i've been trying to port to a up circle, keeping a connection with airtel itself. But in spite of firstly repeatedly sending the porting message to 1900 i haven't received a porting code yet.

              Kindly do the needful and provide the porting code so that you do not cause inconvenience to a long term customer.

                I had raised a request for shifting my landline (Request no.[protected] it has been 26 days now but till date i've got no response from the customer care. I sent a mail to the customer care, nodal officer
                (Complaint no.88893522 &[protected] but i only get a reply stating it will be done at the earliest. When i raised the issue on social media and said that in case you cannot shift let me go for cancellation. And wow!!! I got a call immediately asking if they can go ahead for cancellation. Didn't find time for calling up in the first 20 days but called immediately for cancellation. I have 4 connections of airtel and have been a customer for more than 6-7 years, but this time i've had a terrible experience and planning to cancel all my connections with them. Will this complaint be resolved?

                  Hi, I am not receiving any SMS from Airtel most of the times, further I am not getting messages from various banks, IRCTC, makemytrip etc. This problem started from 14th October 2017 This is really frustrating as I am unable to do online banking at the moment and this is impacting my work big time. Please resolve immediately.

                      Hello sunil,

                      This is inform you that one of your executive take the payment. I made the payment online for advance rental and he commit to install the same by 30th oct. And i called him multiple time. He didnt even bother to respond.

                      What kind of commitment you have. Their are many service provider who are happy to install in the same day.

                      I need necessary action to be taken for such kind of behaviour. And please note connection is not yet installed yet.

                      Details :

                      Airtel executive name : jatin taneja (17004)
                      Airtel advance payment attached details
                      Name of the connection : subhasree mishra
                      Contact number : [protected]

                      If no action is taken regarding such kind of failed commitment, i can go upto higer level of escalation.

                      Thanks

                          11.08.17 to 10.09.17 rs.548.21
                          11.09.17 to 10.10.17 rs.616.88

                          Thus, it appears from the record that my post paid bill was never more than rs,.400.00, except for the period 11.08.17 to 10.09.17 and 11.09.17 to 10.10.17, although my usage pattern has remained the same. The matter was pointed out to the customer care of airtel, who could not give the satisfactory reply to my complaints. I presume that airtel has made excess bills for last two billing periods as mentioned above.in view of the above, i once against request bharati airtel ltd to look into the matter and arrange ro refund/adjust the excess amount charged the above post paid mobile urgently.
                          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                            Hi sir,

                            I am one of airtel customer feeling helpless now. By this
                            Mail i am trying to reach out the higher management of airtel to
                            Let you know the way airtel customer care working in bihar. Before
                            Coming to actual issue putting some info as a support

                            I have started conversation on 25 th june and following up till now
                            . Almost more than 50 (100 hours time) call more than 15 mail and many
                            More reply, send all info or document as per guideline of customer care
                            Executive till date today evening. Still i am at same point need to
                            Provide other document which i have attached now. By this mail i
                            Want to know from airtel how long it will take to get resolve and who
                            Is responsible for this delay if i am ready to provide all documents
                            Required to support my loyalty. I also want to know who is responsible
                            For misleading this issue by just updating the case id and false
                            Promises, and not giving the proper guideline. I have all record of
                            Conversation as a proof how this issue is missleaded by customer care
                            To just say anything. Now this event forced me to think about airtel
                            Money bank security who will take responsibility of our money
                            Security.

                                  Dear sir,

                                  My number is [protected].

                                  I recently migrated from postpaid to prepaid.

                                  I am based in nigeria presently and using my phone on international roaming.

                                  However, i am unable to send any sms from the line and getting error message - message sending failed everytime i am trying to send an sms.

                                  I have even done sim replacement on the suggestion of a customer care executive and even then it is no improvement.

                                  I need to send some sms to register my banking app and some other work as well
                                  I have called the customer care several times and the only thing they say is that everything looks ok in system and they will forward the request to the technical team. However no one replies or even care to respond.

                                  Please help.

                                  Regards,

                                      Airtel international roaming

                                      I had activated international roaming before my travel to singapore and us. I got a confirmation sms from airtel stating that international roaming is activated.

                                      In between my travel to the us, i observed a whopping rs 82k bill!!!.. Airtel service personnel told me that some issue with international roaming even though i had activated my international roaming.
                                      I had to escalate their billing issue to 121, then to the nodal officer... Each department took more than 3-4 working days. Then, finally, i took this complaint to appellate authority... It took some 3-4 days again to get this resolved.

                                      Now, again this month i got a bill of around rs 5k. I was informed by customer service personnel that it was due to international roaming. Every month this is going to be a practice to fight with these people for a mistake with their billing system.

                                      This is a warning to other customers before activating international roaming with airtel. Beware!!!
