1 the above line was disconnected by you though i have paid full amount under the pretext o[censored]p-gradation from 8 mbps to 40 mbps & 65gb data per month.
& my efforts to contact your technical team &assurances by them yielded no result even after a week & i decided to terminate the your landline.
2 when i demanded refund of installation fee & excess rental collected, i was told that line would be reactivated & asked for my concurrence thro' e mail, this was in the month of july 2017.
# mr pranav from applet offered me 75% discount in the month of august for the delay in service & also inadvertent disconnection & told me i should pay rs 433/- p m on a plan of rs 999/- with a speed of 40 mbps & 65 gb data, but no reactivation was done & i kept on sending e mail, several executives of yours talked to me both from applet & installation division & whenever your executive from installation talked to me always addressed me as new applicant & never new my case history, i really wonder what is going on in your organisation, as a senior citizen i was subscriber to you manthra on line.com in 1997 while i was in service in gwalior & also initial ipo holder of your bharati air tel, i realy pity the state of affairs in your enterprise. Sofar no senior responsible officer spoke to me till date.

About 3 weeks before one ms anjali called me & told me that rs 999/- plan is cancelled & instead i would be provided with a plan of rs1150/- with a spedd of 16mbps as they do nt hv cable for 40 mbps & 150gb data with a rental discount of rs50% & i have to pay rs688/- inclusive of 18% gst. & they told me to stay at home for the last 10 days as the person would be visiting anytime, no one visited
Two days before a member of your installation department called me & told they can't provide me connection as there is no cable, i was surprised! There is already a cable drawn to my residence from the board. Tday another member from your team called me & identified from installation team & told me they can't connect me as there is no cable, i told him am not a new applicant & he never knew about it, i wonder what is happening in your establishment & why people are not aware of my plight!. Sofar more than 50 of your executives many of them are new recruits have talked to me & tortured me day in & out under false promise & made me to wait in home as technician would be visiting my residence.

Please note you have to adequately compensate for the business loss i have suffered & damage to my reputation as a an educator world wide that too free online, i am senior citizen & retired gm of a leading organisation & also ex faculty member o[censored]niversity & i teach many subjects that are useful to mankind free on net & this was snatched by your irresponsible team who do not any coordination with contractual technicians & are not aware what router is provided to an applicant before disconnecting the line for up-gradation.

Infact i see public is held at ransom & take for a ride under the pretext of service! & hardly basic facilities are lacking.

I have addressed more than 20 emails in the span of 5 months since my connection was disconnected & your organisation is still sitting on excess rent collected & also installation fee & all my e mails are marked to you.
Now, as a last resort of a scoundrel am approaching consumer grievance cell also trai & telecommuunication minstery for redress & am sure your organisation would be directed to compensate me for damages, mental agony! To the tune of lacs. I want to to know whether the organisation is able to bear this kind of penalty when there is cut throat competition in the sector!

          I had reward points on www.StateBankRewards.com and utilised some points and paid the balance amount in cash through sbi net banking towards recharging of mobile on 21/09/2017. Surprisingly, the mobile is not recharged till date. To-day i have verified my account to see the details of past redemption. It is not shown either success or failure. It means i have lost the amount paid in cash and also valuable points. My second complaint is that when i am sending sms there is a deduction of rupees four from my balance in the mobile. The screen is showing sms cost rs. 1 but the balance is being reduced by rupees four. Why this is happening is not understood.

              I requested for number porting from vodafone on 24th sep and till date it's not done.

              One of your agent visited my home and collected my documents and rs 250/- which he told will be adjusted against 1st bill but till date my mobile not ported and he is also not picking my phone.

              For your reference i m attaching the port request order details and message communication done till date.

              It's already 2 weeks and really surprise with such a poor service from airtel so kindly refund my money as in such a competetive world i[censored] guys are not interested to even sell your products then i have big doubt on your service as players like jio port the mobile with in 1 day and without any payment.

              It's really shame that even your call centre supervisor is not interested to talk to customers.

              I need refund of my money

                My number [protected] got a scheme from aitel to recharge with rs 399.00 and get 3 months calling and 1 gb data daily. When i recharged my phone by rs 399.00 and got a message that i have given only 28 days scheme. I contacted the customer care they told me that i will get the scheme for 3 months. Yesterday the scheme ended after 28 days. I again contacted on 3 oct to customer care they didn't agree and told the scheme is for 28 days only after insisting they connected me to some other person but he told me u will get compalint number by sms and i will get a call from airtel.
                Neither i got a call nor the complaint number so that i can sue them in consumer court.
                Pls help me in this regard.

                  I have applied in airtel for potability from vodafone and it has been activated on 22.09.2017 at 00:05 a. M.
                  We have applied for rs. 399 plan and according to plan the data services we will have provided is of 21 gb. Mr. Kundan one of their executive was said that it will be activated on or before in four working days after activation.
                  As per above mentioned, the activation was on 22.09.2017 and till date we are not receiving any feedback from airtel for our data activation. The problem is, we are having only 1 gb data and not able to use the data services as per plan.
                  We have visited so many times at airtel shop but all are in vain.
                  The useless answer is received from ms. Monali - mobile no. [protected]

                      If submit complaint, after taking cug plan, saying no 4g registered. While porting they keep on promises. All shows interested till do porting from other network.
                      No care for customers and complaints. Says to call 121 to activate 4g.
                      What stupid people.
                      Should never take airtel connection in future. Waiting to complete 3 months with airtel, afterwards will port for good vodafone network.
                      Very worst management, very worst members, worst people who knows only to promise.
                      Hell with airtel connection. Simply grabing money from customers, says to activate 4g again have to pay amount.

                      should place a case against Airtel company for false promises and not providing the network.
                      Simply so many airtel members calls everyday to change plan and make more promises. Ultimately says pay extra and activate 4G connection.

                        Sir/mam,
                        This is regarding a scam which airtel india is running through airtel secure plan where they have tie up with oneassist insurance company. I was paying 79 rs monthly to secure my iphone 6s 64gb handset from any accidental/liquid damage. On 26th september, 2017 my phone had got liquid damage and i raised the claim but they say it has been rejected due to improper handling. What is improper handling? I did not deliberately put it in water. They are just mincing money and looting us. Please read all the reviews on internet about this plan and oneassist. Not a single claim done by them.

                          To airtel india,
                          I am writing this post in my utmost frustration. I am using postpaid plan of airtel and everytime i put a port out message i get a convincing call from airtel saying they will arrange a call from network team, since last 4month i am listening this lines. Finally day before yesterday i receive a call from your network team stating ma’am you will receive another call from our network team. I don’t understand why these guys send 10 days prior reminder to your customers for their bill payment, but they can’t provide a proper service to customer. Why should we pay airtel on time when we don’t get those service which we are offered. I still have 30gb of internet in my airtel account, because i am unable to use those data because of no internet. I keep complaining about i don’t get internet symbol in my phone that means my internet is not working which is again not taken serious. Though i use any other network that is working perfectly fine in my phone. Third class service from you airtel. Airtel is taking money of their customers without providing service which they have to offer. There is no point of marketing so much about your service when they can’t manage customers. The most pathetic service of all the network is airtel.
                          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                            I recharged my mobile ([protected]) with 399 on oct 4th 2017. But i got 349 package.
                            What kind of fraud airtel is doing to it's customers. Who took my 50 rs.
                            Apart from that if i am not eligible for 399 i should fail message.
                            Airtel either give me 399 package of give back my 399 rs.

                            Also i complained on this site (http://www.airtel.in/forme/home/needhelp/) two time since oct 4th but they don't even care to give me a reference id nor any customer executive gave call to me.

                              Hi team,

                              I have been charged for rs.5/- to send an international sms at[protected] on 14th august, however i have checked and can confirm that i have not sent any such sms.

                              Relationship number - [protected]

                              I tried to get an idea by calling customer care but could not get a satisfactory reply.

                                  I m not satisfied with the resolution of your customer care (Ritika). She does not resolve my query at the real time she answered me that (Jo marzi kro) and dont gave any resolution and disconnect the call. My internet is very slow down she gave me the answer that is your phone problem. Why with airtel no not with the other operator. On my airtel no [protected] internet will apear emergency. Why??? With vodafone i use the 3g speed apprx 2mbps but with airtel 3g it shows no network available or very slow speed. Resolve my problem and give feedback to ritika (Customer care executive)

                                    I am a consumer of airtel post paid mobile number [protected] and i am residing at b-4 nizamuddin east, new delhi, for the last 6 months i am unable to get any phone incoming or out going call from my residence. This is basically due to the poor signal at my area, i would like to know if the airtel is charging for the rental and other charges, is it the responsibility of the airtel to provide us un-interrupted service.

                                    You are requested to look in to the matter urgently to get the services

                                      I'm s stalin sathya sunder. I'm using the data pack of 349 for 3g internet on my phone number +[protected], but i hardly ever get 3g internet. This is the second time this is happening with this data pack. Not recently did i take airtel hotspot on number +91 [protected] where they gave me a postpaid connection without asking whether i wanted a prepaid or postpaid connection. To top it the connection was disconnected due to a failed address verification and i have to go back to the customer care center to further attend to this.in total including the wireless hotspot, data connection and data pack on my sim i have paid three thousand (3000) rupees and i'm finally sitting without internet at home. This is the stupidest thing that can happen. Earlier i had to port my number from airtel to vodafone after being on airtel as a regular customer for 4 years as no body cared to address my grievances. Now i'm repeating it for the number [protected] by porting it to vodafone.

                                      Now finally after getting a new connection for the number [protected], there is no 4g connection at my house. When i complained regarding this to the 4g arc center at indiranagar 100 feet road, they did not bother to help me inspite of going multiple number of times. Inspite of making multiple calls to their open network number 12118 multiple times there was no resolution of my problem.

                                      Now finally i have asked them to disable the connection at least which they are not doing and trying to make me bleed money by keeping the connection active.
