Recharged account twice within 10 days with 50 rs.

No usage done however both the time my balance deduction happened & it became zero both the time.

And the irony is that i am not even able to check my chargeble transection neither on your app nor on ussd (*121*7#)

Attached are screenshots

Warm regards,

    Airtel secure is just another way airtel is scamming its users. I filed a claim for screen damage when it accidentally fell from my hands. They rejected the claim on the basis that this was due to improper handling on my part. Now who decides what's accidental and what's not? The phone "accidentally" fell from my hands. I didn't throw it! Nowhere in their terms and conditions do they even slightly elaborate on what they mean by accidental. Stop scamming your users airtel! Instead focus on providing a better experience for your customers.

    Their Terms and Conditions states the following -
    "Accidental Damage means Physical or Liquid damage to the Insured Product due to drop or collision of the Insured Product or any object falling on the Insured Product, caused due to accidental external means. It is that damage which occurs due to external causes that are not under the users direct control".

    They mention if the Insured Product drops due to external causes that are not under the users direct control then it is Accidental Damage. Well, gravity is the external cause which is not under my direct control. I am not GOD.

      This is in reference to my complain regarding the request for disconnection of broadband services. Complain no[protected].

      Highly dissatisfied with the executives in airtel customer care department.

      Later in september i tired to apply for disconnection of my broadband connection. Listening to this your executives tried to avoid the conversation and disconnected the call twice.
      On 4oct i requested for disconnection, dissatisfied with the speed and low data pack.

      After discussion with one of your executive, he offered 1 month grace time which will be of no charge. He also mentioned that this will be for 1 month and post that bill will be 450 approx (After discounted rates) for 90 gb.

      After a day or two, one of your executive confirmed that he has activated 1 month extension, to which i agreed on call.

      Today, the executive whom i spoke to regarding the status of my request, mentioned that the broadband connection has been discontinued. She also mentioned that one of your executive tried reaching us but number was not reachable so processed the request.

      I don't understand, if my number is not reachable isn't it your responsibility to just intimate us regarding this.

      Highly disappointed with her behavior. Rather than being polite and resolving my issue she was very rude.

      Request you to look into this matter as early as possible.

        Most of the times my contacts are complaining that my phone is not reachable and switched off.. Even our family members calls when i am at home it says same not reachable or switched off.. When i call customer service to raise a complaint they don't even bother and simply disconnecting the call about the issue..2nd issue.. I have recharged for 399 unlimited voice and data offer during the offer but then i realized money is deducted for every call... When i contacted customer service asking for floor supervisor they will simply keep on mute or disconnecting the call... Worst service i have ever seen... They are looting people money like anything.. If jio wouldn't have come they still would have looked people money in data side like anything

              Hi,
              I don't want to use airtel services anymore now. I have been facing airtel slow browsing speed issue, but not permanent solution. I was committed to provide 16 mbps speed but very rarely getting 4 mbpts even sometime 2 mbps. And my bill was generated as 4700/- approx. I am being forced to pay full amount. Why so! I should be getting waive off

On nov 11' 2017 instead of recharging my husband's number i recharged my own number for rs. 448 then after a second i called airtel customer care and i said i recharged week before but mistake had happen kindly recharge my husband's account with rs. 449 or refund it. I lost almost rs.900 for that they simply said we cant do anything from our side and i requested them to do this favour that i am asking my own amount and i am not asking any offer from you but no response from them. No humanity

                  Website: Airtel Payments Bank

                  My airtel payments account is linked to mobile number [protected]. On 17 sep 17, i recharged another airtel number [protected] for rs 247/- paying through my airtel payments bank account. However, the amount was deducted thrice from my account yhrough three successive transactions as per the details below.
                  First transaction on 17 sep 17 at 08:31 pm for amount rs 247.00 against transaction id [protected].
                  Second transaction on 17 sep 17 at 08:41 pm for amount rs 247.00 against transaction id [protected].
                  Third transaction on 17 sep 17 at 08:47 pm for amount rs 247.00 against transaction id [protected].
                  I have been making requests to the grievance officer (Gro) of airtel payments bank since then. Despite repeated attempts made by me, i have neither got the excess amount reimbursed nor the beneficiary number got the additional recharge. The issue is not about the amount but about ethics. I hope justice prevails and the excess charged amount gets back into my account.

                    That is serious problem for us. Our area located at the city khalilabad near by 5 km but network signal are bad and always a call dropping, only 2g network is working but it is not giving satisfaction.
                    3g and 4g network are not available so we are unable to use internet
                    If company will not taken any action we are able to port out from airtel to ohter company

                      We have received invoice for the period 05/09/2017 to 04/10/2017 on 11/11/2017 for rs. 1242.57 due on 15/11/2017 in which i have been charged rs. 651.99 for 212.24 mb, which i fail to understand.

                      I would like to draw your attention to the attached screenshots from myairtel application, which states that still i have 48.5 gb o[censored]nused data at my disposal, which has been carried forward to next month and is available for my use.

                      Kindly confirm whether myairtel app is not authentic or is giving misleading information to customers then, it should be closed / banned because trusting the same, i have used internet and for which i have been charged rs 651.99. This is absolutely fraud.

                      Also, still i am getting messages from airtel that your data has been carried forward to next month and you can use the same

                            I have approached airtel service centre 3 g zone (Invoice copy has been attached for kind info please) for following activities:-
                            1) to port airtel pre paid number [protected] from west bengal circle to kolkata circle of same network operator and
                            2) to have 4 g sim for the same number i. E [protected].

                            For this fee was charged as well.

                            Now my network services has been disconnected and it has been more than 24 hours, network service has not been activated in my new 4g sim.

                            I contacted call centre but they are not registering my complain. Kindly help.

                              I raghunath k. L purchased the airtel no. [protected]. As i was not using the same for some time, it seems it is issued to some other person by service provider.. But the registered user name has not been changed.

                              I tried to contact their compalint no 121, [protected]. But there is no provision for this complaint nor non of their executives could be contacted.

                              Change the same immeidately, as the sim has not been used by me, air tel shall be responsible for all types of misuse.

                                I was originally a prepaid customer and had shifted my number to postpaid in order to link my aadhar card. On wanting to shift back to prepaid, they had told me that it would take 2-3 days, after which nothing had happened thus we went back again and were told that it would take an additional 5 days. I was called by airtel to pay 72 rupees for the billing period of this month (Even though i had requested to be shifted to prepaid after paying the bill amount for the month before and all my dues were cleared). I complained that this additional bill amount was due to delays on their part and was not my fault, but the lady insisted that my number would not be migrated if i did not pay the bill that occurred during the "processing time." so i paid the required 72 rupees yet nothing happened. Since after this waiting period still nothing had happened, so we emailed airtel and were told that it would take another 4 working days. After these were also up, we emailed yet again and were told that it would take another 4 working days. At this point we were getting frustrated but we continued to email, and started getting calls from marketing people at airtel asking us why i wanted to shift from postpaid to prepaid. Ultimately we were told it would take another 24 hours. After 24 hours we were told it would take another 96 hours. After this time had also elapsed, airtel called and said that the original prepaid sim they had issued had some "defects" and they needed to give me a new one! We had to go back to the airtel office to collect the new sim card and return the one they had originally issued. After this we were told it would take another 24 hours but nothing happened even then. Ultimately, the entire process has taken 21 days and nothing has happened!!! Airtel kept calling me telling me that it would migrate within 24 hours and no emails have helped. Airtel also sent a message that my new sim would be activated within 24 hours but yet again, nothing has happened. At this point i am fed up and am thus filing a complaint against airtel. I will not be paying any "dues" due to the absurd delays on their part and need my number to be converted to prepaid immediately!

                                    Hi,

                                    Worst customer service ever. For a simple thing you're creating such a big ruckus.
                                    I wanted to change the name on my sim card from my friend's proof to my proof. Without give me any prior info they gave me a new sim, which i had to find out on my own, as my phone suddenly didn't have any network. Once i got the new sim, my data stopped working, which i had opted for since the beginning, i had to call them 5 times (20minutes everytime) to get this sorted, but they blocked my sim instead of solving this. Now i have gotten another brand new connection, which is active but the sim is not working, i can't make any calls, use internet, or do anything. I had again registered another compliant for this and they said they will rectify the issue in 48 hours, but when i ask for a status update, they said the complaint is closed, and they have to raise another ticket for this. So i thought i will port my connection to some other company but i am not able to do this as well as they guy who gave me new sim, had to complete his monthly target of new connections, at the expense of the customer. Now, its been a week my simcard is not working. [protected] (Airtel) is my number and [protected] (Jio) is my alternate contact number. And the best part in this whole thing is that have sent me a bill for not using my phone as well..
                                    This is the heights of stupidity, irritation, frustration and treating your customers like crap. I request you to kindly look into my complaint and resolve the issue asap or please help me to port my number to any other network.

                                    Regards,
                                    Monesh r

                                      Dear sir/mam,

                                      I rashika khot having airtel dth connection more than 3 years and request you to stop the service immediately and refund the deposit amount and recently recharged amount rs.500. The reason behind this is, recently i experienced the very poor and disappointing customer services from your side and not at all responded from the issue raised. This is the worst services which i experienced in my life. I am very happy if you stop the service and refund the amount as mentioned above.

                                      Thanks in advance.

                                      Best regards,
                                      Rashika khot
