I took airtel 6 months plan of 6gb per month in 6k in january. Payment was done in january only. Although i dint use it but that is no issue. The issue is now after 6 months they are sending me further bills without any usage showing outstanding of 1503rs without any permission from me whether i wanted to continue it after 6 months or not. I request airtel to pls deactivate it ([protected]) and since airtel is a respected company i don't except them to charge people without any usage.

          I have raised complaint again and again wo the customer care of airtel. But there is no reply.
          1st i am unable to call customer care as what ever selections is being asked is in kannada which i don't understand.
          I have asked multiple time to change my language but no action has been taken yet.
          2nd i have recharged for 349 on 19th aug 2017 which gives benefits o[censored]nlimited call std/local and 28gb net for 28 day. But from 9sep itself my balance got deducting. For the same i wasn't able to call customer care as my language is kannada i raise to port my number, so customer care people will call them self to ask the issue. When i received call from them a person asked me to raise a complaint in calling to 155233.
          What the hell is this. I am frustrated with airtel.

            I have requested for porting from chennai to telangana to the same airtel network. After activation call to 59059 also i am not able to make any calls. I have kept porting request from your airtel customer service center in srinagar colony, hyderabad. I have been waiting since 2 days to activate my sim. Calling your customer service also but not at all responding properly and issue is not solved. I have faced worst customer service with airtel. Kindly rectify the issue.

                    We have paid the amount rs.1000 for the broadband connection and the airtel guy from sector-35, faridabad told us that our connection will be set up tomorrow or the day after that. But it's been a week since that and no one has contacted us regarding the router and connection. We tried calling the same guy but he has been avoiding our calls and when he picks up he makes excuses everytime. Please do something otherwise people will lose faith in your company.

                      I have already escalated my complaint regarding billing issues however still not received any revert.

                      The reference numbers are mentioned below:
                      1) reference number is po[protected].
                      2) reference number is po[protected].

                      I have changed my plan and airtel has charged me exorbitant data charges of rs.3200/- wherein my data usage is quite less as i have wifi at home. I have escalated the issue however did not receive any revert yet, got a call today from customer service for payment so asked them to resolve the billing issue however due to line disturbances call got disconnected and post that no revert from them.

                      Request you to intervene as i am quite sure it's an error due to plan changes, i have infact gone to a higher plan so this charges just cannot be possible.

                      Regards,

                            I have been using airtel's prepaid number *598 for the last 5 years. For the last 5 months i was not using this number since i had to travel frequently out of country, but i made it sure that the sim is in working position. After some days sim didnt work, it displayed "sim card registration failed". I thought that my sim card must have become faulty since i had not used it for months. So i call to airtel's customer care to get a duplicate sim card. There airtel's representative told me your no status is active and says me' go to the nearest airtel office and give your id there and we will issue new sim card for the same your old number. That the number has been disconnected and has been installed on some new sim card, hence i cannot get this number back. Today my sim number is issue for other person. The reason they gave me is that "you've not received any incoming or outgoing call in the last 3 months, so it got disconnected". I 've this number on my visiting cards/i card/atm/irctc web site and lots. More than 1000people/clients have this number. I feel completely devastated. I need this number back at any cost. How can airtel disconnect this connection without any notice? Even if i was not using this sim card they do have our e-mail id, residential address, alternate number. Cant they even sent one notification? I feel really cheated. How can i get my number back? Please help

                              Sir,
                              It has been a horrible experiences o[censored]sing your sim for the last few months. I have been not able to use the data at all in my phone. If you provide me the data for five minutes for the next five hours you disconnect it. I suppose to use 1gb data per day and i am unable to use even 10 mb data per day due to no connection.
                              Therefore i request u to sort out the problems as early as possible, because it affects my studies very badly
                              And if you can't rectify my problems with regard to your sim i may have to the higher authorities.
                              Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                              its almost half a day is over that i have filed the complaint and there has not been no action taken over it.
                              looking forward to your help

                                Airtel postpaid provided free promotional data of 2 gb for three months. According to the airtel's data carry forward policy, it was carry forwarded to the next month. I recieved several mesaages stating the same and the myairtel app showed the same status. After the end of the cycle, i, was charged a hefty sum for the usage of that free carr forwarded data. Approaching customer care is like talking to a wall. Their method of functioning is very opaque and they don't disclose any details. For that matter, i'm still trying to talk to an accountable person. But i will not shy away from dragging airtel postpaid to consumer court, trai, or state court for that matter. So if any airtel exec reads this, please be advised. Resolve this with dignity, or lose face.

                                I faced the same issue.. cheating customers with carry forward data and saying that was not free. They why did you you guys carry forward instead of just cancelling the left over data. Shame on Airtel .. cheating people..

                                    I am an airtel customer and i recharged my dth connection for rs. 350 through online payment method. Transaction was failed and amount was deducted from my bank account. I haven't received the refund till now. This is so disappointing and i want the money back.

                                        Sir, the mobile number which i have was non functioning when i tried to make a call on 7th september, on visit to your nolambur airtel office they told me that it is registered in name of someone else from kanchipuram. I have submitted my personnel details to airtel office annanagar, 3rd avenue, when i visited that office.
                                        I informed your office in nolambur about this issue. I was told to go and verify in that office. This office i found does not function now. I want to know why and how it is registered in someone else's name. What has happened to all our old documents which we submit to your office on our visits.
