Sir,
My name is setu sharma and my mo. No. Is [protected]. This is the second time i am complaining to airtel regarding my data deduction.
I have airtel 549 rs plan and from the night of 20th september around 11:15 pm to right now as i am typing this message which is 21st september 10:15 am they deducted around 1600 mb of data without any reason out of which 900 mb something was left from 20th september and remaning 700 mb something is from 21st september and infact even as i am writing this message they deduct 139 mb of data for no reason. Around all this time i am keep turning off and on my mobile data to make sure they are actually illegally deducting my data, every single time as i am turning off and on my data they deducted 20 mb to 50 mb data within seconds. This exact same thing happened to me last month and after having tons of worthless conversation with customer care i decided to port to jio after i send the port message i get a call from airtel and the lady convinced me that it ll not happen again, so i decide to stay to give it a shot. After that every thing work really fine till now. Now i am really fed up with this harassment and i am asking to refund my data and take action against this false harassment activity they are doing to me otherwise i am porting to jio within two days.

    Airtel claims to have network coverage in bangalore but we never get network inside our home. Even if we go out to call a number we get network but i need to dial 20-30 times a number in order to just get connected,, if at all after so many trails it gets connected in middle connection drops.
    The worst part is their service which they provide, i raised a online complain regarding this i got a msg that j will be receiving a call after 2 hr instead of getting call j got a msg conveying that my issue got resolved and they closed the ticket. Who decided on behalf of me that issue was resolved i didn't get.

        Hi.in the name of special bundle offer airtel has promised that who buys a new mi a1 mobile will get additional 20gb every month for 10 consecutive recharged on rs 349. I bought new mi a1 & recharged for 349 but i did not get the additional benefits. E-mailed them regarding this but it doesn't seem like they are working to fix it. Everyday they are calling me and telling it has been escalated to the concert department but nothing happens. It is more than 6 days now.

        Attached screenshot of my email and the offer page.

                    My airtel number [protected] having a prepaid recharge of rs. 349 on 9th september with facilities o[censored]nlimited local and std calls and 1gb 3g/4g data with 28 days validity upto 7th october 2017. However, the facility of local or std calls are not working while i landed in kolkata. All outgoing calls gets disconnected in a second even before ringtone is being heard.
                    This is really disturbing as i used to make number of calls everyday owing to my business and just after landing in the airport, i am unable to ring and contact anybody, i find myself in a helpless situation. Does this mean that airtel is an unreliable service provider. As nowhere it was indicated that roaming to a different city in included or not included in the plan.
                    Moreover, when i dialled 121 or 198, it was mere fun and mockery since it only asks to dial all numbers in the number pad except helping me to talk to any responsible guy and tends to promote different sales plan without addressing the problem.
                    I don't know if this complain really brings sense to the business leaders of airtell to think how really they can help customer instead of showing colourful advertisements.
                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                    I am also facing the same issue .can you please get in touch to resolve the same

                      This site is a big fraud. Just after writing this complain I received one phone call that this issue has been resolved and the money will be refunded to my account. Then that person asked for my debit card number and just few second later he asked for OTP. This OTP received was for some e-commerce transection. This moment I realized the going to be fraud and when I asked why he need OTP for refund transection then he disconnected the call. So be aware and avoid this site.

                          My airtel bill dated 6.9.17 for the period 5.8.17 to 4.9.17 was wrongly printed. I was charged rs. 357.72 extra in the bill for data usage. The bill was rs. 969.08. After speaking to customer care he said you can pay rs. 550 instead of 969 but no revised bill will be given. When i asked why, he said no system will not generate revised bill. I have attached the bill. Please refer the circled amount.

                            My self pranjal vinodrai patel connected to airtel from july 2017 so company has promise me for better 3g/4g network connection, 15 days after joining this new airtel connection since today i am complaining for poor network and i feet it is a 2g connection so at this stage of speed customer become a mad if work on 2g. And i have repeatedly complaining for this but no solution is given by company and all of sudden on 19th september 2017 they have stopped my outgoing when i enquired about this they force me to pay ur bill amounting 1120 rupees then and then wil start ur outgoing

                            I am ready to pay this amount and against that i want as certain 3g connectivity permanently (In upper paragraph i have repeatedly complain for this) but customer care officer not ready to take such responsibility as well as he has not transfer to his senior officer for this matter.

                            Please do needful. My demand is that they provide me better 3g connection i am ready to pay bill and start my outgoing connection as soon as possible and other alternate is give me immediate portability to other company because i am small entrepreneur started my business before 1 year and mobile is my basic need so justify me.

                            Thanks

                              Once you add a child number to family plan, the internet usage stops for the child. Escalated many times, but you always need 72hours more to resolve the issue and it goes on. So finally you need to remove the child.
                              I demand the refund of the 399 amount that was deducted while addition of the child. Also the advertisement should stop, if you can not provide proper service.
                              Complaint number 79440460.

                                Just to mention the issue again. We have taken 4g plan, but do not have a 4g sim (Airtel). When asked for the 4g sim in gudivada in 2 airtel centers, the folks asked for money. They always say it will take a month to get free sims. Please let us know if the free 4g sim's will not be given. We can just move to jio. Also the present 4g plan is going waste. Its just waste of money

                                Please let us know if the issue will not be resolved and our money will not be reimbursed and we will just post the experience in twitter/face book and move to JIO.

                                  Dth is not working properly.
                                  We have called your representative but no action has been taken uptill now. We have called them day before yesterday but they haven't seen yet. It's been 5-6 days we are facing this problem. Your customer care number is also not responding our call. Please take some action as soon as possible. We are unable to use your dth service as we have purchased a yearly plan..
                                  Thank you

                                      Hi i have lost my number [protected]. I went and got a duplicate sim card. And provided all documents and money required. It's been 8 days now and my sim still isn't activated. I want to find out what the problem is but i can't ever get through their call center. They have no option to talk to someone. It's really problematic. I need to know what can be done. I need this number active immediately.
