Address: New Delhi, Delhi, 110063

Hi there,
I'm payal makhija holder of some connections of airtel service provider from a long time.
I was cheated by one of your retention team member and a store (Address - b-1, ground floor, paschim vihar, 10063) by rs.1916
A few months back i was porting my airtel mobile no to vodafone (9599555*), i generated the porting number and suddenly i got a call from him saying he will be giving me the discount on my current plan and my plan will be now 349 infinity with same benifits. So i visitied the store to reconfirm.
Unfortunately i came in their words and didn't ported for which i'm bothering now with my different airtel no 7503308* because now outgoing calls for this number has been restricted.
I'm ready to pay the bill to start my other no services but i will not be paying 1916 cheated amount.
Also, nobody is ready to help me out with this not even you customer care department neither any store.
I want a strict action on this else i will be registering the complaint against you people.
Thanks

    I have to submit that i am using your company mobile no.[protected] from the last more than two or three years. But now it is very panic to me that from last 4-5 bills are very highest. Now i was checking its bill thoroughly and found that you are recovered rs.100/- late payment charges which are also panic. I think you were also charge as such charges from my last few bills. Further i have to submit that the data charges amount rs.199/- is mentioned in my bill, which i can’t want to deposit because your company has stopped the same facility in the mid of month without my concern which is i want to stopped at the last date of bill i. E. 19.08.2017. So it is therefore requested to go through my previous complaints and kindly be stop all such services at my mobile no. Immediately till matter settlement either i want to switch this number with jio or any other mobile company.

      Hi all, i have been using 4g airtel internet service - hot spot from many days. I always faced network issues. Once i registered arround 6 complaints from the month of january till july. All of my initial complaints are closed saying issue has been resolved, but issue was never resolved. Atlast in july one technician visited my home and he said that, if i want to use airtel services inside my home the best i can get is 2g. When i called appelate office they told me that network issue has been found in my locatoin during january itself and they can not do anything apart from placing a new tower. And that will not happen until unless there is a huge requirement. Those guys even dint informed about the network issue till my 6th complaint though they identified it much earlier. What should be done to these kind of service providers? Even after i changed my location i am still facing the network issue. They should be taught a lesson.

      I request everyone not to go behind these kind o[censored]nprofessional and unethical service providers like airtel.

          Address: North Tripura, Tripura, 799250

          Dear sirs, as on 30.08.2017 i took an airtel prepaid sim from airtel customer service centre at dharmanagar north tripura pin 799250 address: near kalibari and opposite of bata shop. I paid rs. 150.00 to the dealer, (A short boy took the money) name not known to me. He said that i will get the facilities of rs. 148.00 within half an hour after activation. After installation of the sim it has been activated within a few minutes (I left the stores) after few hours i started journey to agartala tripura by train, but post activation neither any call is being forwarded from the sim nor any data pack is working.. As i have left that place and now i am so far from the stores. I am submitting this complaint to have the matter inquired properly and to obtain the facilities provide to me if possible, as we know the airtel is a renowned company. My new no. Is [protected]. Please do the needful at your earliest.

          Thanking you in anticipation,

          I had a balance of rs. 56 in my Airtel no. And today I got a message that Airtel deducted 35rs. From my balance for Game Club subscription which I haven't even asked for. This is really disgusting.
          My mobile stolen by someone and I want to block my sim.
          I have a recharged for a 70 days unlimited local and std calls pack with 70 days internet but i m not able to make any outgoing calls ... it's saying that my acc balance is low ... but what about the unlimited pack ????? While my internet is still working...

          How to resolve this problem????

            I'm airtel postpaid customer. I have availed 499 plan where i get 7gb 4g data. I was rewarded with 10gb 4g data a month for 3 months for installing airtel tv.
            Now i'm done with initial 7gb data and the speed of internet went too slow that i cant even open their my airtel app since 24th aug, 2017.
            I have contacted their customer service twice and raised a complaint on 29th aug 2017. Complaint number 79035231.
            Got a call from airtel saying i need to change data settings on my mobile, that's what they told and i did last 3 times i spoke to them, but it's of no help.
            I want this issue to be resolved immediately. And airtel should stop bombarding the customers with free data that they cannot use and slogan "india's fastest network" should be stopped.

              I was using airtel number [protected] from past 3 years. And on 9th august my number has been allocated to someone else.
              All my credentials of banks, ewallets and otps from different online portals come on this number. I recently came across issue that someone else is trying logining in accounts registered with this number.
              I have made a phone call from this number on 12th july and have proper proof for it, just to support that number was active in 90days period from now!
              I wasn't inform inprior that services will be discontinued, niether on airtel number nor anywhere else.
              Just a simple question, airtel can send thousands of mails on registered email address and can make hundreds of phone calls on alternative number, why can't they use this alternative contact information to tell something this important???
              I am a trader and have to travel around the world. I simply can't afford to change the number.
              Service call executive manikandan d and s. Murthy gives absurd answers.
              If not solved with web complaints, i'll move to court of law with charges on airtel and new user of number, of seeking personal benefits.

                Hi,

                Airtel, being one of the largest networks in the country is simply taking advantages of its customers. This is the 3rd month when a random service called dindoclub got activated. This incident has happened twice before, but that time they cut it for something called gamepind. And now this. They randomly deduct money from my account, when i do not even use that sim on a smartphone.

                There is no way to reach them, and they do not respond to any kind of communication.

                      Hi, i have placed a request to convert my postpaid no. To prepaid at an airtel store in pondicherry on 28th july. I did followup with the store as well as customer care but my request is not completed and nobody is bothered about to inform the status. Usually as per the provided the request will not take more than 48 hours which in my case it is more than a month and not yet resolved.

                      Hi, This is to inform that most of the retail shops charging amount for linking aadhar with mobile number.. Since this service is free of cost these guys are making profit out of it.. Immediate action to be taken regarding this
                      Hello,
                      This is regards to my porting from vodafone to Airtel prepaid. They have charged me 450 Rs. As i got to know its free of cost for porting. i request Airtel authorities to refund or take action against concerned person.

                          My bill hasn't been generated for the past 2 months and now airtel says that i've a usage of around 7.5 lakhs. It has been constantly increasing since i came back from international roaming. I had deactivated my international roaming pack long back and my data was barred as well. Now they don't have an answer and ask me to wait further. Highly unethical. Btw my credit limit is 14k. It started off with suddenly showing 1.5lakhs and now it has reached 7.5lakhs

I have called many times to the customer care no 198.But they use to tell that 4g service is being upgraded in you locality that's why your 3g service has been stopped. But this is not the problem of this month only, from January 2017 each and every month this problem arises and whenever we call to 198, they use to say that 4g services is being upgraded. We recharge for whole month, but we are able to use the internet only 10 to 15 days.
                              Please tell us what airtel company is doing with us or refund our half money of internet packs. My airtel prepaid number is [protected], [protected]. Both these numbers have recharged with 1gb daily data services. More numbers which are facing same issues in my area are, [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected].

                                I was promised that a broadband line would be installed in my Mumbai home with someone calling for information in 24 hours and installation in 72 hours. In spite of daily calling after 72 hours and escalating the issue to floor supervisor this has not been addressed.

                                I am told that it will be handled in 24 hours and no one calls. Every time I call to check this is a 30 minute conversation while they trace all the details.

                                As a long time Airtel user in Delhi, I have had an excellent experience. But the Mumbai team is totally unacceptable.

                                  Dear sir,

                                  I just want to complain you fraud service provided by airtel or airtel promoters.
                                  I am living at hinjewadi megaplolis sunway-pin-411057 (Pune) maharashtra. Although i already had broadband
                                  Connection but for cheaper 4g rates & good network speed i get interested in airtel 4g.
                                  You airtel employee 0r airtel promoters promised me plan for 6 month in which you
                                  Need to pay 3000 inr he will provided me 4g hotspot dongle & daily 1gb 4g data for 6 month.
                                  I get lured by this attractive data plan provided by airtel. I asked him for demo in my premises
                                  A-14 flatno-502 meagaplis sunway. On 27 aug-2017 your employee (Wear the airtel t-shirt) name rishi iyer (Mo no [protected]) has called me
                                  And said to me that i am coming for installation for 4g hotspot he has installaed the connection by
                                  Providing me fake demo & taken the 3k rs as paytm. He called to some of your senior (Probably he has
                                  Make the fake call) & said to me that my 4g connection get start working in half an hour. As airtel is good brand so i had trust him & paid the money.
                                  Since then my life become hell although my connection get activated but i am not getting 4g speed in my premises.
                                  I called in your cusotmer care several time & the worst thing is that no body is able to sort my issue.
                                  Even they are not able to understand the issue all the time they are diverting the issue to different department.
                                  I also visited to your airtel authorised center at hinjewadi but they are also not able to understand &
                                  Sort out the issue. Also you do not have any special contact no to handle 4g hot spot issues.
                                  My question is that why airtel which good brand in the market spoiling there repution by providing such
                                  Kind of fake services or promoting there services by fake & fraud promoters.
                                  Now i have only one hope left to escalate the issue to senior authorities.
                                  My details for airtel 4g hotspot are below
