Respected sir,

I would like to bring to your notice that i jeevankur talukdar, a student of iit kharagpur, have lost my phone on my trip back home in guwahati. The airtel phone number is[protected] and it was a sim card of kota, rajasthan.

I request you to kindly block the sim as soon as possible and also inform me about the procedure to issue a new sim with the same number at [protected]@gmail.com. I will be very grateful for the same.

With regards,
Jeevankur talukdar.

    Hi,

    I have received my bill for the mobile number *72 (Rupees 238.82) and *81

    My mobile number *81 and *72 plan is my plan corp cap 199 cug 0 na which includes 700 mins (Local+std+ national roaming, mob and fl),
    Cug to cug free and 750 mb+10gb free data of mobile data.

    I have used only 670 mins out of 700 mins in my plan for voice and 100 mins of cug.
    I have used only around 500 mb of data out of the allotted 10.75 gb.

    I have been additionally charged 30.4rs for *72 and 1.6rs for *81 for the month of july.

    I want your billing team to check and revert back the charges and provide me the correct bill amount.

    It is really frustrating that i need to raise the concern each and every time.

    This is the fourth time i'm raising the issue and this issue is continuing from month of april 2017.

    The current complainte ticket ref53354444 is open past two months

    I have registered multiple issue with complaint numbers 78127288, 78126122, 76612145, 75901204 [protected], [protected]. And have called 121, 198 and [protected] which is of no use.

    Dont close the complaint without fixing the issue.

    Please look into this issue and fix it at the earliest and permanently.
    I'm registering a consumer complaint and if this issue is not fixed permanently i will port out immediately.

    Thank you,
    Boopalaparthasarathy

        I have deposited my g4 handset to airtel under airtel secure plan on 18th aug 17. But till today i didn't get this repaired. Due to this delay i have to purchase new handset for my uses on the cost of rs 13999/-. I wish the full payment of new handset as penalty for delay service with my handset.

          Even after airtel relationship manager and floor manager of customer care promised airtel will fix this issue but issue remains

          Extremely shameless airtel, airtel has failed to provide a working sim. Its more than 9 days now. Have called airtel guys many times now but airtel guys are saying that do whatever you can, we will not fix your issue and keep billing you. Gunda raj.

            On 9th september i lodged a complaint regarding the dis functioning of my digital tv with complaint id 65280437. An engineer came after repeated calls and at last my problem was solved.

            But few days after repair, i faced the same problem on my airtel dth. I am unable to view the channels and getting the error code b001. So day before yesterday again i lodged a complaint and according to the telephonic conversation with customer care an engineer was supposed to visit my place yesterday. But nobody came. I got a call from the engineer in the evening that he will visit my place only if i am willing to pay him some extra money. I denied to pay him and he refused to come. Today also i got 2 sms regarding visit of two engineers called shabir khan and md shabdin. One of them called me but didn't came.

            This has become a harassment for me calling customer care every now and then for resolution of a simple problem. All these has made me think why i have made the mistake by taking airtel dth connection.

            My digital tv id is-[protected]
            And my complain ids are[protected], 65900767, 65928909

              [protected]- sumeet sharma.

              I have made the payment of my dues of july to august period (241rs) on 06th of september using paytm for which i have received the reference number also. Operator reference number [protected], which is a proof that airtel have received payment. But it is still showing pending in my account.
              I tried contacting airtel executives but they are not resolving this issue. My outgoing has been suspended for non payment of dues. If they will not resolve this issue how can i make the payment for the remaining dues. I have contacted paytm which have clearly replied the problem is with airtel and i should check with airtel only. As operator reference number is given by the operator (Airtel) as a a proof of receipt of payment.

                  Client number: [protected]

                  Description: today i issued a port sms to port out from airtel to 1900. Airtel blocked the message by sending "could not send, try again" and deducted rs.1. Just when i started thinking it as my system's fault, i received a sms from them saying "airtel values your association.in order to serve you better, our executive will call you shortly to know more about the reason you want to port out of airtel no 9748596xxx"

                  This is a clear malpractice and a customer can not be retained like this. Btw, none called from them till now because they know the reason for such port request better than me.

                      Called customer care on 26th sept in the night around 8 pm and the person on the phone informed the that he is escalating and the issue will be resolved in 24hrs and provided reference # [protected].
                      Today (Wednesday 27th sept) 8pm called the customer care again as the issue was not fixed. I was transferred to a supervisor and he informed that the call was never escalated on 26th and he is going to escalate it and the issue will be resolved in 24hrs
                      I am tired of spending time with these folks on call to get this fixed, not sure if i want to continue with them after staying for more than 8 years. Use 4g for my official emails on phone and i have been handicapped for the last 4days...

I gave money every time to company for sim and go four time in that service centre but still my sim is unactivated. So i humbly requesting to you that plz take some necessary action about my problem. My this experience with airtel is so so bad.

                              My account was debit freezed and for that i forwarded mail with my aadhar card, pan card, and bank statement to [protected]@airtelbank.com... But it has been more than a week and no response whenver i call them they keep om givibg same excuse.. I upgraded my wallet account to airtel savings account and done biometric verification at airtel office by giving min. Balance rs 100... But no response neither from grievance officer and neither from airtel presence mail id... Fedup of all this now.. I have sent them every sort of identity proof being a safer side if anything goes wrong with one id then can be matched with the other one.. And as i have already done my aadhar biometric at airtel office there is no need of any verification now.. Still wallet blocked issue not resolved...

                                  Hello,

                                  My and my wife went to update our aadhaar number to one of your franchises called eee vee telecom in banasawadi, bangalore today and had an unpleasant experience. We went 4th time today to update our aadhaar number and every time the answer from them is 'server is down' from aadhaar team. We take permissions from office and go there for updating aadhaar number and they did not even tried to rectify the issues since last 10 days neither with airtel team nor with aadhaar team. Everytime we hear the same story and their approach towards the customers is very unprofessional. Even i heard one old gentleman saying that he had to come 3 times to get his sim card activation.

                                  Even they do not even ask a customer to have a seat when the customer reach the office. It is completely unprofessional and unethical.

                                  We do not know when the server will be up.

                                  Please take a necessary step to make their work professional and speedy.

                                  Thank you.

                                  Regards,

                                    I am using airtel service since last 5 yrs, and pay my bills on time, on regular basis. Since last 4 months, ever since i migrated to 4g i am facing problems mentioned herein: -
                                    A) seldom i get 4g services, it keeps on switching to 3g and 4g, the speed have deteriorated to minimum.
                                    B) suddenly the handset will show no service, it continues till i switch off the set and then switch on.
                                    C) very week signals when i am in my house (Karbari, shimla road, dehradun). Downloading almost impossible.

                                    Please raise/revise the last two bills to the level of services you are providing to me. Please be clear that i will not pay the bills pending as on date.

                                    Complaints have been lodge 3 times with your telecaller but no heed has been paid to it.

                                      My number of airtel is [protected], airtel added advertisement in there app connect your account with upi and get upto 100rs cash back, i connected it with but i did not get any cash back. My secound mistake is i believed again on your airtel app, i am getting messages by airtel - rc399 and get free call and 1 gb data per day for 84 days. I checked offer in airtel app and i recharged rc399 on airtel app, but you give only 28 days free call,? And you display there 50% cashback on airtel recharge i did not get any, that's why i think your customer care number don't work. What should i do??? Customer care number not work only computer recording there., what is your intention, do you want to earn money in this manner? I think i did waste time and money to download your airtel app.

                                        I applied for porting from airtel postpaid (Karnataka region) to airtel prepaid (Hyderabad region) on 20 sept, 2017. It was on 25 sept 2017 (10:30pm) i lost my network on old sim and then i inserted my new sim. But still by 27th sept my sim is showing 'no service'. This number is of great value for me.. It is my both my personal and official number. I tried calling 121 but there is no option to call your representative and i have mailed to you by 4 times but still i am not getting any reply.. What kind of pathetic service is this??.. Dont you guys understand how important is porting for someone who has been associated with you by the same number for 5 years.. My airtel number is [protected] and alternate contact number is [protected]... Look into this matter urgently.. Mail id - [protected]@gmail.com

                                        जब मै Vodafone से airtel मे PORT करवा रहा तब MNP customer care ने बोला आपको BEST PLAIN देन्गे लेकिन नहीं दिया ( PLAIN 349/- 5gb net बाकी वही ! अगर ईस पर कोई कार्यवाही नहीँ हुई तो मै समझूँगा company गलत है केवल customer को airtel का CONATION
                                        दे दिया बाद मे कोई मतलब नहीं है customer की problems से कोई मतलब नही
