Airtel — cancel my airtel postpaid connection

I have been using airtel postpaid connection before 7 to 8 months. I requested to cancel my connection in airtel office (Ambawadi, ahmedabad), but it was not canceled and i was receiving bills and i could see that the connection is still in active state. I raised a complaint about this on 29 of sep 2017, to the airtel online complaint but nobody attended the complaint. I kindly request you to cancel my airtel postpaid connection immediately & give reverse credit to my account which i not used the number.

Please help me out in this regards. It has been very surprising for me to receive bill for disconnected & unused service.

My postpaid connection number is [protected]

Consider this as my authorization to cancel my connection and please cancel my connection immediately and deactivate my sim card.

          When i activated my airtel 399 pack it said 3g/4g valid for 84 days 1gb/day. But now they have stopped it after 30 days. They say if i further want to enjoy the rest of the pack then i have to convert to airtel 4g from my 3g sim. There was no such condition given on the offer. And i don't want to convert to 4g.
          This is fraud as they are misleading the customers and committing fraud.
          Further, their helpline is good for nothing.

          This problem is seen with many other customers of airtel and so some legal action should be taken against airtel as per govt guidelines which say deceiving customers is punishable.

          If my problem doesn't get resolved in next 3 days i am discontinuing my service from airtel and also lodging a complaint in consumer forum.

              sms service not activated even after 48 hrs.

              I had swapped my old sim with a 4g sim on 25/09/2017, and i was told that the sms and data services will be started after 48hrs., but i am still not able to send and receive sms. I called customer care but they could not help me as date of activation of my new sim has not been updated, they told me to wait for 72hrs. More.

              I was using the number [protected] for sever years. But from a few monyhs it was nit in use and my no. Has been deactivated. This number has been regsitered in ssc for job. The commision will send otp on this number so it is essential to get the number active. There is not any provision to get the otp on other number. So it is my sincere request to you to reactivate my number. Or suggest the way to get the acyivated the same.

                Despite resolution I recieved a call from [protected] and [protected] asking debit card number which seems to be fake.

                As such why should not register officially complaint against the fake callers as well as against airtel company

                      I have purchased an airtel prepaid sim with frc of 449. The plan goes like this 1gb of data per day for 3 months and unlimited calls. And it applies only for 4g handsets, i got that sim for my one plus 3 and inserted in ipad mini 2 for a week first 2 days it worked properly and then i didn't get network access for a week later on i called to customer care people and asked why am not getting the internet access, he said your device is not a 4g handset and the offer is not applicable for that.
                      I had a question for him when all the 4g sim cards works in the device why not airtel, there was no answer from his side and he concluded with saying this offer is not applicable for 3g handsets.
                      Then i changed sim card to mi note 3 it worked well and then to some nokia basic mobile and then to mi note4, i have changed the sim to 4 devices, my plan was working good and yesterday 27/9/17 changed sim to ipad mini temporarily and today when i took back and inserted in my one plus 3. There was no interest access in my device when i called them they said the plan is cancelled as i have changed the device. And replaced sim into non 4g handset that is ipad mini. When i asked them that i did the same thing last month nothing has happened and when i called your representative they didn't say anything as such for that they said no sir you haven't changed the sim earlier... Yesterday it got updated so your plan got cancelled. My question to them was why it didn't get cancelled earlier when changed to other devices and why now... They don't have the records that i have changed my sim to other devices... If you loose your mobile or sim card how can we trust airtel people for tracking our device... If they don't get proper data in their servers then if the thief is using airtel sim in our device then how can we get the details... They are unfit to run a telecom services and they are careless about customers problems he is telling like sir you should be happy for using benefits for free... He is not at all ready to agree his mistake

                        Today i read a news if mobile connection is not linked with adhar before feb 2018.. Mobile no will be closed by company... Right now i am out of country for 2 year.. I will back in india next year dec 2018.. I have 1 airtel postpaid connection on my name.

                        Now you tell me how i can visit myself physically to any airtel outlet for linking adhar with mobile???

                        And if i will not link my no with aadhar, company will close my connection. They all are using their no since 2009.

                        Thanks,

                                I have registered a complaint on 10th august, 2017 regarding network issue, complaint no. 78521280. Till now i didn't receive a call regarding the progress and everytime i call you, the airtel customer reprensentative says i have to wait and they can't assure the time to resolve it and also told me that it will take approx. 6 - 8 months.

                                When i decided to port the number to idea, they called me and told to wait for 4 days, i decided to do so and waited for 15 days but it was not solved. Again i decided to port to idea and they again called me and told to wait for 4 days, today is the 10th day but it has not been solved.

                                I can't make calls from my home, everytime i have to go to my flat terrace to attend or make calls. They are such irresponsible. And when i told them that i can't use my data pack due to network issue and to reduce my bill, they told me that network issue will be solved in few months but have to pay bill everymonth in a rude way.

                                I have the recording of all the calls i have made to the service centre.

                                  I have been trying to deactivate my auto renewal data plan of rs. 179 for the last 2 days by dialing ussd code, "*121*12#" and requesting for to deactivate pre-booked pans. But all the time it shows, "sorry we are unable to process your request at the moment. Please try after some time."
                                  What the # is this?? First, i never wanted to opt for auto renewal but you cannot choose the pack without auto renewal and secondly when you want to deactivate the auto renewal, the service doesn't work... #ing airtel trying to loot all o[censored]s... Die airtel... Die you #!!

                                    I have linked my aadhar details with airtel about three months ago. My indane gas subsidy amount was not getting credited to my bank account. When i enquired, i have been told by the gas agency that my subsidy amount is being credited to airtel account. I went to the airtel customer service center where i have linked my aadhar and i have been told by the staff that it is happening not only with me but few other customers. I was shocked when i was told that it is the company's policy to swindle away the gas subsidy so that they can give talk time to the respective number. I wish to bring to the notice of the concerned at airtel that it is a cyber crime to swindle away the amount without the consent and information sharing to the customer. I request airtel to immediately reimburse the amounts that have been swindled away thrice from my gas subsidy account. It seems that airtel is sticking to unlawful practices to increase their revenue instead of doing the right things. I, with good intention, wish to get my reimbursement within 48 hrs, post which i would take this issue to the cyber crime department, uaida and the central government. This also amounts to misuse of confidential information of customers to manipulate and steal away thier money.

                                      As i have upgrade my airtel 3g sim to 4g sim. I have inserted in my new mobile gionee a1 and i have recharged with the plan of 244. But, its get very slow internet connection in main area and full tower in my mobile.

                                      Previously i have used other networks (I don't want to mention that network). While comparing to your network the downloading speed is 3kb very very slow.

                                      I try to contact your customer care but totally wasted my time to reach you.

                                      It creates bad opinion about service. I am using your product upto 12 years but very worst response in your side.
