    I lost my phone (My no is [protected]) on 20th sep.2017 and took new sim (Old sim blocked) and recieved a email from airtel at 11.00 am on 21st sept ([protected]@in. Airtel.com) that sim would be activated by 03.00pm and sms services would be activated after 24 hrs i. E 11.00 am on 22nd sept. Nothing happened 22nd went, 23rd went and now on 24th sept also the sms services are not activated. This is creating a huge problem as all my bank accounts are linked with this mobile no and iam not able to do any transactions due to sms (Otp). I wrote 04 emails to airtel but no reply from there side and called 121 3-4 times but in vain., iam surprised by the service level of airtel which i thought was good. Really poor service and pathetic response, god save people from such service.

      Dear all,

      I was airtel postpaid customer with a monthly bill plan of 500₹. Their services are worst so i ported to jio. After 7 days of porting procedure jio sim got activated. Now i m getting calls from airtel billing department saying that i should pay airtel bill of 2000₹ which is included with september bill. I told them i disconnected from their services completely on 27th august how can they generate bill for september which is not under their services anymore. I have all the proofs and recorded all the conversations i had with airtel customer support.
      Please help me with your suggestions. Should i consult a lawyer regarding this. Because they are blackmailing me everyday by calling me and warning me that they will send a legal notice through court. I really don't deserve this. I really didn't subscribed for any additional services or data plans. I am educated, well aware of service activations and there is no mistakes at all from my end. I am sure that they just generated fake bills and trying to blackmail.
      Today it happened to me tomorrow another person. They will try to loot many more innocents.
      So please suggest me how i can defend myself. And how to teach them a lesson for cheating us. I never seen this much big cheating scam company in my whole life.
      I am completely under jio services from august 27th. But this airtel girls are asking me bill for september month which made me completely insane.
      Hope my explanation above is understandable.
      Thanks for your valuable time. Your review may helps me a lot.

      They are cheating all customers. Kindly I request everyone to opt out from Airtel services. Our silence is their advantage. We should question and complaint then only we can create awareness.

      I am capable of paying it to get rid of their harrassment. But why should I pay. I have all the rights to fight back.

        The airtel # i. E the network team are just giving calls on my number just to check my temper instead of solving the network problems. Airtel has got a big setback from reliance still they don't bother to solve network problems. The appellate officer is just made so that customer service representative can make an escape for solving the problem. My network complaint is pending from the last 3 months still they have the same reason we are working on it that's it. I wish the consumer court that they should make airtel to install a booster at my location in titwala at my residence.

            Thank you for contacting us. The ref. No. For your airtel fixedline/broadband * is 87824274.

            After 9 days of complaint also no action from the team and it really seems they don't care much about customer experience. Every time they will say a new story when we contact their customer care.

            I am using airtel mobile from 11 years, but never expected they are this much arrogant with the customers.

                    This is for airtel post paid number [protected]. Our alternate contact number is [protected].
                    Problem: i have duplicate sim (Because my old sim is lost). After verifying the biometric the store staff told it will get activated in 4 hours. Even after waiting another day it was not activated. We contacted the customer care but but only to be advised to visit the store again. We visited multiple times still problem not solved. We got another sim from ananthnagar store, again it was not activated, we have given paper based (Aadhar copy and photo), still not activated. It's been 14 days since we gave the first request and changed multiple sims, and visited store multiple times and called customer care multiple times. Still problem not rectified. Raised 2 complaints with complaint number [protected].
                    I am very frustrated and mentally very disturbed by this.

                      I needed to port my airtel connection from airtel to idea due to corporate limitations however the customer care executive was rigid saying the porting of number isn't possible and used foul languages.

                      No body seems to be bothered and concerned about customers sentiment and value prepositions. Such service support from an iconic brand and promising organizations isn't acceptable & cant be imagined.

                      Looking forward for your support in getting the potability operational and getting process intact thus the incidences isnt repeated with other customer

                        I availed the post paid (Bill base) service from airtel. Their first bill for rs 200 something arrived. I found it costly i request them for cancel and convert it to prepaid (Coupon system) but they don't adhere.in the meantime their next bill arrived. Then i personally visited and contact to their district center, janak puri new delhi-58 service center and ask them to cancel this service. It was their submission this service can't cancel without completion of 100 days. Then they disconnected outgoing services from my sim no.[protected]. After few days, they ask me submit 850/- rupees bill despite the fact that outgoing services were already disconnected by them. After few days they blocked above noted sim due to which neither any incoming call nor any outgoing calls are receiving.
                        Due to them customer is suffering from every point of view. If customer is asking to cancel their bill based service, they are not agree, bills are raising one sidedly without use of services which is openly looting of customer.

They don't adhere.in the meantime next bill was arrived. Then i personally contact them at their janak puri new delhi service centre and ask them for cancellation of bill based and collect their two bill. They said their net is down pay somewhere else. As far as cancellation of bill base service is concerned it will closed only after 100 days. Thereafter they disconnected by outgoing services from above noted sim.
                        After few days they made third bill of rs.850/- despite the fact that outgoing services were already stopped. Even a single call was not made from this above noted sim. After few days they blocked this sim due to which neither outgoing call nor incoming calls are received.
                        Hence the company is openly looting to customer. If he is asking to cancel bill base service, they are unable. Prejudicially and one sidedly making bill without any basis.

                            Hi

                            I have been with airtel for close to 10 years. Off late, i am getting bills that do not justify my usage.

                            And, when i go to airtel store, i was told that the server is down. Can someone believe server being down and not having any back strategy while having crores of customers?

                            Every business typically will have backup servers. And it is crazy for airtel not to have any kind of back up services.

                            Why are you duping the customers? Are you expecting people to roam around your stores? Don't you think they would be busy too like you?

                              I reached sr nagar, hyderabad airtel store by 4 p. M and thought of completion of my prepaid conversion but staff are not all responding and just ignoring the request by convincing on some ra.349 plan it's 7 pm now still the service men are not at all in their seats and roaming here and there.
                              If this is the case of caging the coustomer plan what else we expect to wait for 3-4 hours to clear from postpaid to prepaid.

                                  With due respect to the india's one of the best network airtel, i am being forced to write this letter with great disappointment and after handling so much harrassment.
                                  Myself soumik bhattacharya, fashion photographer n independent film maker, working in mumbai now.
                                  From last few years i have migrated to airtel. My mobile number is[protected]. It's my oldest & used as primary no. Everywhere.

                                  On 6th september, i had converted my post paid connection to prepaid in kolkata and i was given a new sim by the outlet. After 2hrs the sim showed tower strength n all hence i broke the last postpaid sim. As u had my flight to mumbai on same night, i didn't got the time to verify it by dialing 59059. From 7th september onwards i have in great harrassment. Neither i am being able to call 59059 nor 121.
                                  Customer support of mumbai circle is telling me to contact kolkata and vice versa.
                                  I even did sim swap here which mumbai outlet suggested. They provide me a usim. But still it was of no use. After several days again my dad went to airtel outlet of howrah and they again gave new sim and made it activated. Today i received the sim by post. Now the biggest irony is, after putting it to my phone it's saying invalid sim. Now the customer support of kolkata is saying i need again a new sim.

                                  Now here is my question. Do you think it's a kind of a joke or something? I am a professional guy registered under trade union act 1926, as a fellow member of swa, assistant director of iftda.
                                  [protected] is my official no. Which is used in everywhere like calling purpose, social media platform, net banking etc etc.
                                  Do you have any sort of idea what kinda harrassment i am bearing? Being a faithful customer of airtel for so long do you think it was kind of expected act from you people?

                                  I want to resolve this matter as early as possible and want to lodge a complain in consumer forum and as well as for compensation

                                      The list of calls made and received from my airtel network was leaked to an outsider without any prior consent. How can airtel internally leaked my personal information without any legal authority and i have been receiving threatening calls from unknown numbers. It is so easy to be cheated as there is no security and i doubt if there is any non-disclosure agreement signed by the employees. I will sue airtel for this as i am being harrassed. There is no safety with airtel when it comes to personal information. It is unbelievable how they can leak out personal info and scam people and harrass them. I will go to court regarding this as its a breach of information and falls under rti act of india and i want a resolution to this. I am spreading across social media so that people are aware of what is going on around them and this can happen to them as well, which is very dissapointing from one of the trusted network.

                                      This Airtel.co looks like running some possible illegal services. Like selling our personal information and unrealistic bills according to my survey crores of black money
