Hi team,

My data services (+91 [protected]) are down since 5 days.
I complained through every channel of
(App, voice call), no resolution yet.

I am using airtel for more than 10 years and paid lacs of bill to them but when i found they are not willing to provide me good services still i am thinking to port out.

But before that i want to record a formal complaint against airtel in consumer forum.

Can you pls tell me the formal procedure of it.

Thanks//

    We recharged our mobile number [protected] by 700rupees. Within two day balance was nil and customer care mentioned that its deducted based on internet usage and we have internet connection at home. Actually there is package available for 349/- with 1gb internet everyday. I am really surprised to see that within two days balance become zero. Very bad service and its cheating

      I'm using airtel postpaid for more than 2 years and regularly paying bill amount. Eventhough the postpaid bill amount is high (It comes around 700) i stick to airtel because i trust them. But for the month of august my bill amount came around 3650 rupees which is very huge for me.

      When i called customer care they said i have activated 20gb data pack that cost around 2000 and that too for two times in a month (13th aug - 200rs and on 31st aug 500rs). I actually have more than 50 gb free data left in my connection then why should i need to activate data pack for 2000 rupees? I asked the same question to customer care but they responded as their record shows it activated from airtel app so they can't do anything, this is really disguising to me.

      As per their saying that i activated on 13th aug but since my mobile broken so i have used nokia 1100 for almost a week and the activation date falls on this and even customer care said that there is no internet activity from my end then what is the reason to activate 20gb data?

      And on 31st aug i was not in my home town and i went to maharashtra and didn't use mobile internet much and mostly used wifi network, since the mobile internet is very slow whats the purpose of activating booster pack? And moreover i didn't get any intimation mail or sms for the same.

      And airtel you have all the improved technology with you still you can't give proper explanation from your end then how can you expect a normal person to prove as he not wrong. I have given much of information from my side that i didn't activate 2500 rs booster packs.

      If still you say that i activated there is no option for me to go to customer court to file a case on you and please note i will not be paying the bill amount of 3603.68 rupees until it get revised to my original bill amount.

      And many thanks for the service you provided for me. And please don't do this to any other innocent peoples who still trust airtel. W
      Way to go down airtel...

      Raised a request with support of Airtel customer care and they understood what i explained and waived off the booster pack amount from my bill. Thank you so much Airtel.

      I'm a postpaid corporate plan user of airtel ([protected]) i regularly pay amount of around 650 rs. But for the month of august 2017 i received a bill amount of 3603 which is too huge for me and i called customer care to clarify it where they said i have activated 20 gb data pack that costs 2000 rupees which i didn't do, why should i need to activate it as i have left with more 62 gb data left and moreover i didn't get any intimation mail or messages related to it. And the customer care not giving proper explanation on this problem, asking me to mail [protected]@in. Airtel.com to get more more detail. When compared to other telecom providers i have trusted more on airtel and i didn't expected this.

        Airtel 4g network is very slow. Single page take minutes to load and sometimes doesn't load..

        My airtel app is also not loading my available data.

        I feels so good to use 4g in 2g's speed. Feels like cavemen. Airtel is playing game with customers regarding offering 4g more speed..
        You want to compete against jio then be like jio.

        Please get it fixed...

                  I am using 3 mobile connections of airtel including one data connection. I have raised a complaint in the month of june'17 regarding poor connectivity. They first assured to resolve it within 3 days, but even after 3 months no action was taken. I have again raised the complaint on 4th sep vide their reference no 79196125. But till date there is no response from airtel.

                  They have not attended the complaint, but they are very prompt in disconnecting the service within hours expiring due date. Their customer service is not even concerned to resolve customers' concern. Even their data dongle is locked not allowing others to use it.

                    The sms received by me on 19/09/17 says to upgrade the current sim to 4g by 22/09/17. It also says that the same would be done for free. The retailer that i bought the sim from is charging me 100/- for the same. I would like to register a complaint against the retailer on account of charging me 100/- for no valid reason and taking advantage of the current situation in his own favor. The retailer has a shop in amity university rajasthan the address of which is as follows. Amity university jaipur campus

                      Hello concerned

                      Its regretful to note of late airtel service has been in pretty bad shape, i wish to bring to your notice me being prepaid airtel loyalist for nearly 15 years now.

                      Read attachments - despite money got transferred to airtel and ack for recharging monthly msg package, msg pack is deactivated for august and september. Furthermore i'm again msgd by airtel that 31/- package has bn deactivated while i, m being instructed to go for 29/- msg pack instead. While i did opt for rs.29/- sms pack my main airtel currency was debited.
                      All these lead to chaos and confusions. All these last 28 days, i was unable to send sms though rs.31/- sms pack is renewed. It recurred again today forcing me lodge a grievance

                      Where did my money credited to airtel acct earlier consecutively for 2 months - aug 17 and sep 2017 msg pack go then..? You owe me an explanation immediately. I need to switch over to some other networks should the valuable customer is taken for a ride in this manner

                      Regards
                      Ashwini kumar

                        We have made payment on 22nd june 2016 to airtel through neft for the above mentioned accounts. We are still facing the the issue of not crediting the amount even after sharing our bank account statement from which the payments are made. The airtel people (Mr. Arush and mr. Augustin) have committed that the issue will be resolved after receiving the bank statement but still it is pending.

                        We have requested them through mails and over phone and also in person at annanagar airtel office to credit the amount against our airtel relationship nos. But till now they are not bothered to do that.

                        We have received latest bill and in that too the paid amount is not adjusted in both of our accounts.

                                      I stay in assam and got the number ported and also got the messages from the company about my documents reaching them and the process getting completed.

                                      I got a text stating that the portability would be done by 19th september 22:00 and all i have to do is to put a new sim and dial 59059 fir tele verification.

                                      Since 14 hours i have been calling them and the ivr is simply advertising their caller tunes and other services out there instead of activating my number.

                                      When i try to call a friend of mine, it says that the outgoing has been stopped for lack of payment and then i tried to recharge my phone, that got failed.

                                      Customers care people are simply playing blame games as i am travelling right now and the state i am in say that i should talk to the customer care of my native state while the customer care of the native state are just helpless and clueless.

                                        Sir / madam

                                        My airtel post paid account is deducting rs.5 every day in the name of "celebrity wellness mall" which is automatically renewing itself without any request from me as a customer.

                                        I do not know what is that "celebrity wellness mall" and why rs.5 is deducted automatically from my account and i do not know how it is renewed.

                                        I have sent more than 20 sms stop to 155223 but again and again receiving unwarranted messages.

                                        Kindly stop this unauthorised inserting and renewal o[censored]nknown schemes which is making my airtel payment on higher side beyond the monthly plan i have subscribed for.

                                        I also request for refund of rs.5 deducted every day for more than 2 months ie. 5 x 60 = rs. 300/- in my airtel account before my next bill for the month september 2017.

                                        Thanks and regards
                                        Anne
