Hello airtel cheaters,

I applied for a broadband connection a week back. Your representative came and collected the documents the same day. I have also paid 3 months rental advance. Now, there is no update from you people. I have been calling you everyday to check on the status and each time i get a response saying it will be installed in 24hrs. It has been 3 days yet nothing has happened. Today your customer care people asked me to wait for another 5 days. When i told them that i do not want your connection, they replied very rudely saying “do what you want” and they hung up the call.
I am not interested in airtel anymore with such kind of people. I am also porting out my airtel postpaid.
Cancel my connection request and refund me the amount asap. I am tired of talking to you people.

It’s been a month i have been talking to customer care regarding wrong / fraud billing against my postpaid no. Nothing has been done till now. This is last attempt to resolve this issue before i go to consumer court to get rid of this harassment and fraud. Airtel is adding unnecessary charges and looting money from people by giving the worst telecommunication service.

Hi team,

My name is lokesh. I tried a payment for my office airtel number “[protected]” under the name sangeetha.

Initially i tried to make the payment through myairtel app. When i gave the otp in the payments page, the page expired due to poor network connection.

So i did not want to risk the same situation and took to net payment to make the payment. I completed the payment.

But here comes the problem, i received two messages for amount deduction from my corporation bank account. The amount 602 was deducted twice by bharti airtel. Please see below picture for proof. Please find details below and provide refund.

Bank statement where it shows anount deducted by bharti airtel two times.
First transaction id: 204725 (First deduction)
Second transaction id: 208626 (Second deduction)

If the 602 amount is not reversed today, i have to register case in consumer complaints and might have to go for mnp. If this is how bharti airtel makes money, then im terribly disappointed.

Regards,
Logesh r

We have received a call from [protected] claiming that she is from airtel and now your company is providing a new type of sim which reduces our bills drastically down. Upon inquiring if such is case, we would have received official sms to my mobile [protected]. She fumbled and saying that your company is authorize them to communicate orally. Tomorrow their executive will visit despite we said not to.
Kindly take immediate steps to safe guard us from the cheating of so called airtel employee.
Please sms us on +91 [protected] to inform us the steps you have taken.

Best wishes,
Satyanarayana

When i picked the phone, i saw that screen is damanged.

Resolution: kindly repair the phone as everyone knows that insurance is purchased for the mishappenings in future.

I have been shifted to chennai from bangalore on 15th sep 2017. Have initiated the number porting request on 19th sep 2017. I have given request for my and my wife number. They said within 4 to 7 days it will be ported to chennai circle. That was surprise for me, as the porting happened within half an hour at bangalore couple of years back. They said some process change, i waited after 4 days my number got ported. But till now my wife number is not ported. Around one month, i am chasing around. I went to airtel center multiple times, called 121 multiple times. I got very very poor response. I have been their customer for 7 years now. I am highly frustrated the way they handle their customers.

I am suffering from this issue from the last 40 days. No customer care support is there. Every time executive said to transfer my call to senior and then everytime (More than 20 times) my call disconnected.

I have also generated the request: case id is 822037

At the time of opening the wallet i have entered the name abhishek t and dob 1-1-1990 as there was no verification required.
I don't have any document having name abhishek t as my name is abhishek tripathi so i am having the documents named abhishek tripathi and dob[protected].
I have also visited airtel store to convert it to saving account but unfortunately it fails as they were adding 100 rs and then 10 rs. But there are already 19998 rs.in my account so it's more than wallet limit of rs 20000. It's giving error of exceeded amount. So not able to convert it to saving account however the wallet is linked with aadhar card

My mother has been using airtel prepaid services since 2 years. Though there were network service issues earlier but recently i found out that the company had activated some vas called playbox which totally no one has any idea of and has been deducting rs. 35 every 7 days for like 2 months already. When i tried contacting the customer care service number 121 a lady picked up who told me in a decent tone that she can't refund the money but can only stop the services and then she directed the call to an authority. I thought that was fair enough and i talked to the authority whose voice was not even properly audible in the beginning. I explained the problem but the person said he could only refund the last amount deducted. I said those services were never activated though the concerned number but the company itself has done the activation then he started talking rudely claiming that in future no such claims will be entertained. I asked him to tell me the procedure how it was done since i had no idea and had neither enquired about that vas nor had i ever visited the site also i said i feel like being looted. There again he talked rudely saying you have done it you might know it better. Still i held on to my calm and said its your service so you should have better idea. He was not even able to provide any proof to his claims and hung up on me rudely.
I know i am not getting my money back now but atleast wanted to share thise horrible experience i had to share for the first time through any telecom company in india. If you have a recorded version of your customer com[plaints then please listen to it and teach some ethics on how to decently talk to custemers. The lady who picked up was fine but the authority was unbearably rude.
The refernce id to the call is cbdov[protected] on 11-oct-2017 at 21:11 hrs.
P. S.- you should have a system of follow up or feedback for customer call satisfaction. Also if you ever find that person then please convey him that regarding his warning about future complaints, i am going to discontinue using airtel services for good and also going to warn others against it who i had earlier suggested to join your services.

I am continuously asking regarding my complaint lodged on 16th aug for poor signal strength. Same topic discussed in july mid also.
Reply to both was our network team will update you but when is a big question mark??
These guys are charging regularly for data and voice call and we are not able to use the basic function of calling because of poor network ability.

As per the above transaction my mobile is recharged for rs 600/- and the same was deducted from my bank account.
But it was not credited into my mobile balance. As per airtel customers care no transaction was done for the above said amount and asked to contact 3rd party service provider.

Please resolve the same as early as possible either by crediting the amount into bank account or mobile balance.

Please can anybody help how to convert from 4g to 3g of Airtel sim. I have never opted for a 4g sim but now the portable sim is a 4g sim and it doesn't show any details on my 3g phone. In fact it didn't support 4g sim. Kindly revert me back the procedure for me to convert back to 3g. my E-mail - skpadhi.[protected]@gmail.com
