Hi,

I became airtel customer in the month of may 2017. I am supposed to get 700 local and 240 std minutes free as per my package.

In all the bills since inception they add an additional charge of approximately rs 1/- every month. I have called them almost every month to make the correction but they repeat the same act of stealing from me again and again. They do not even provide a complaint number when asked about this.

I have two mobile numbers and both has the same problem.

Bill no:[protected]
Relationship no: [protected]

Additional charges made by airtel is highlighted in red box of attachment.

I request you to kindly help me stop airtel from generating forged bills and provide me with the corect bills going forward.

Also, i request you to make airtel provide me with a suitable compensation for torturing me by making me wait in customer care call and making me explain the issue to them again and again, month after month for 6 months.

            Service request number #2377296
            Claim has been rejected stating that one cannot kept mobile phone on corner table as few call missed due to mobile phone being on silent mode due to movement caused by vibration of the mobile.
            Upon asking the reason rm said that corner table was not the right place to keep mobile because it has been kept above ground level. Really?
            Who kept the mobile on ground.
            And it cause due to carelessness because i was sleeping at late night how can one expect that i would have been handling the mobile.
            Despite of saying that i am not satisfied with the reason you are providing he keep saying sorry to let you know.
            Please be informed that i have been airtel customer from around 8 years and switched to airtel secure plan after my previous insurance expire because i was expecting the same kind of quality will be provided on this front and i am really very disappointed with that and want to raise this concern to greviance cell and of they will not able to help i will raise the same to consumer cell.
            Hopefully this will help as i cannot see any of the thing mentioned in the terms and condition like this because accident is accident whether its happened on road or due to to carelessness.

                On 10 sep17, an amt of rs 148 was by mistake twice transferred to airtel from my sbi ac no [protected] vide uh 20735749 n 20735581. Benefit of rs 148 was instantly given. The matter was discussed with customer care who assured that the benefit of second rs 148/- will be provided after expiry of previous 148/-. The benefit was supposed to be provided on 7 th oct which was not given. On my contact to cc, it's told that no second amt of rs 148 was received on 10 sep. Sbi clearly states the transfer n both the amts are debited from my ac. Pl justify the refusal by the airtel.

                      Dear sir,

                      Since the last three days i am receiving offensive vulgar messages from number [protected] which is a airtel gsm number of karnataka. Inspite of telling this notorious person on and on that i don't know him, he is not pausing for a minute to send further offensive messages and pictures over whatsapp.

                      I request airtel and the other governing bodies of the country to please take strict action against this number which is [protected]. This person is trying to outrage the modesty of a woman which is a crime.

                      Please take strict action against the owner of this number [protected] and put him behind bars.

                      We are feeling disgusted about this and have no option but to let it be known in this forum so that we can get some help.

                      Please help us sir, we need your help to stop this number [protected] from harassing other numbers using whatsapp text messages.

                      Looking forward for your immediate action against [protected]. Please open this notorious criminal in public and slap him with charge & police arrest immediately. Punish this number [protected] for sending abusive messages from whatsapp.

                      Thanks and regards

                      Satya

                            Pathetic airtel service team

                            I have recently upgraded my postpaid plan for my plan 299 to my plan infinity 399 - corp and thereafter, i am unable to access the 3g internet service for my postpaid number [protected] for 4 days. I called to airtel customer care on the second day and explained my issue with them and raised the ticket for it (Reference number# 80205481 and service request no[protected] and then they said data component have not been mapped during upgrade. On the third day i received a call from airtel service team for feedback whether issue has been resolved or not and i said no and they said issue will be resolve within 8 hours with high priority. Soon after, i received a sms says your request number (Service request number no #[protected]
                            Has been resolved on your airtel mobile. I tried from our end after the seeing the message whether issue resolved or not. But, still i am unable to access the internet even though i can see the h+ symbol on my mobile. Immediately, i called to customer care saying this issue and they confirmed me issue will be resolved by the end of the day. I waited and tried today afternoon still i am facing the same issue. I quickly called to customer care and explained the issue, but seriously these people have no iq & commitment level only saying within 48 hrs will try to resolve the issue.

                            Note : very bad experience with airtel. Totally annoyed. Never and ever recommend airtel to anyone.

Even after 1 month this request is not resolved till now. Please look into this.
                                Dear Sir

                                I need immediate action in my case for mobile connection surrender.

                                Regards,

                                Hi my name is Priya and I have been generated a bill of RS. 16000/- for international roaming charges which I have never activated. They claim some customer service person called me on phone and took permission to activate the international roaming pack and I said yes apparently.

                                I have not made any transactions while I was in UK and UAE since my phone was on airplane for most of the 20 days where it got off airplane mode twice for less than 1 minute by mistake and I told them maximum I'd negotiate a maximum about of 4000/- as a settlement. They have not agreed even for that.

                                Can you please look into this matter ?
                                My number is [protected]

                                  My mobile no. Is [protected] by which i am lodging this compliant. Today i went to airtel office at s. R nagar, hyderabad to link my mobile with aadhar card. I am shocked to know my mobile no. Is in some other's name. The in - charge airtel, is busy in enrolling new plans rather attending to existing customer grievances. For no fault of mine, i have been asked to pay rs 300 and take post paid to change in my name. I am using airtel network with the same no. Since 2003. During the course of 14 years, twice i changed plans (Prepaid _ postpaid) and once i kept in safe custody, when i went abroad more than 3 months, to retain the same no. And duly kyc was given.
                                  All these years, there is no information from airtel that the no. Is not in my name.
                                  As you are aware, that now days mobile no. Is linked to banking operations, verifications etc. I am apprehensive about the misuse by unscrupulous elements due to your callous nature. I request you to issue my mobile no.in my name wit kyc.
                                  Thank you

No attempt has been made to resolve the complaints. They could not even process my payment at the airtel store chembur saying system not working. For which airtel has charged fine rs.100/- from me for their mistake. Very poor and bad service. Totally disappointed.

No clue abt this. The number the executive called frm is another person's number. I dont understand how can airtel be such irresponsible.
