Hi,

This is wilson from chennai, since i am using airtel network for the past eight years my mobile no was [protected]. I did recharge 349 plan on last month aug15th 2017and during recharge time i had previous month validity three days spare.

After recharge it shows my validity date upto sep 15th 2017. On sep 12th 2017 suddenly while calling std calls my balance started deducted, i check with customer care guy he said this due to technical error so we take a complaint and the complaint no was cwrch[protected].

After that i receive a message from aiirtel customer care your recharge benefit credited but i haven't credit anything.

I check with my airtel app also it shows internet balance upto sep15 2017. And suddenly today early morning while using internet my total balance 29rs deducted and then myself speak with customer care guy he told your validity is ended so your balance dedcuted. I'm asking him how come without prior notification how it is possible..
He said your validity ended and i'm asking to take an complaint but he said he can't.
After ending that call i'm receiving a message from customer care ref no. Cbdmo[protected].

I want my amount refund and clear explanation. Otherwise can i proceed the same with consumer court.

Please let me know...

    As i am a postpaid customer my plan is rs. 349 and if we will add gst which is 18% that means addition of rs. 62.82. I consumed 5 sms which costed rs. 5 and my previous balance was rs. 167.60 which equals to rs. 585.42 and and airtel is forwarding a bill of rs. 1080.57. Isn't is unfair. Please look into this matter. Every time i call them and they are not able to provide me correct answers. There excuses systems are upgrading, we don't have the information yet or please call us back after 3 or 4 days or on the following date of something.

        I m experiencing the worst internet problem! I got it recharged 399 pack on august 29th and recieved the confirmation message as — "you have got free data (Daily limit 1gb) for 84 days. This data is applicable for 4g handset with usim users only. To check your balance, dial *121#"

        But the internet is tooo slow! The data consumption till date is just 1.9gb. After this limit, the internet is worst. Most of the time it doesn't work! I have a serious issue with this!

        Regards

        I request you to resolve the issue and justify your recharge confirmation message!

          Sir/mam, i've recently bought a new phone and got a message from airtel that, as i've upgraded to a new 4g handset + 4g sim, if recharged with inr 399, will get an offer of 1gb/day and unlimited calls both local and std with a validity of 84 days. (Screen-shot of the text message attached)

          I've called the customer care center through 121 number at 8:20pm on 13 september 2017 and spoke to executive that airtel app is not showing the offer. She suggested to recharge manually entering inr399 to avail the offer and it will be valid for 84days. She confirmed that again as well!

          I've recharged my number - [protected] with inr399 with transid 240668 at 8:23pm on 13 september 2017.

          I've called the customer care centre again at 8:30pm to confirm whether the validity has been extended to 84 days or not. The executive (Vaishnavi) has told me that the system is not yet updated with the recharge and assured me that the offer applies and i will get the validity for 84days. (Call conversation attached)

          But, my account has been extended by only one month and called the customer care to findout that there are no such offers applicable to my number.
          I'm utterly disturbed with the non-applicability of offer when it was communicated to me and i've double checked the applicability of offer twice with their representatives. Now airtel is denying me for the benefit of same to be credited to my account and updating my validity of offer to 84 days.

          I demand an immediate action, to resolve the issue effectively and credit me with additional validity.

              I recharged with ₹244 on 5 september which gives 1gb/day for 70 days +1gb/month.
              1- they have not provided me 1gb data/day for 5 september
              2 - i am able to consume max. 800mb data per day and they are showing that i have used 1gb. I have already called customer care and they are just saying repeatedly that i have used 1gb. But from 5 sept i know i could only use 800 mb. The calculation from airtel is incorrect and their data usage is showing wrong.

                All of sudden the airtel mobile network got cut off and shows no service on iphone5s today.

                No use even after:
                - device restart
                - network settings reset

                When sim card is removed, it shows no sim but when it's inserted back, it shows searching for a short time and then turns no service!
                It clearly indicates the network issue!!!

                This is very critical as the entire network is lost for me for the complete day and i could not make/receive any urgent calls and other network services.

                    Website: Airtel

                    Dear Airtel,

                    Thanks for sending a Killer to my home to spoil my nicely working Internet to unused internet.
                    Your technician came to my home and screwed up things. When the existing Modem was working fine, you guys came and fixed new Modem which is for no use.

                    This is the SMS I received : “Your new modem has been delivered by Arunsingh_Fortune ([protected]). Please connect the modem to your broadband cable and power source, turn it on, and send 'VFU Start' to [protected]. More instructions on https://setup.airtelbroadband.in/selfservice/”

                    Note : I would request you to go through the complaint I had registered 87690654 & go through the attachment.

                    Find the attachment. And see the number of times I called to this no : [protected]. When this no. is officially communicated to the customers, how you people are not ready to respond not even once (purposefully disconnect). The person name is ArunSingh as per the SMS. And this person claims that if am not reachable, please call to my Manager.

                    His Manager Gopi is still one step ahead than his team member. He was also not reachable and purposefully disconnecting the call.

                    Is this way Airtel provide support to the customer when other service providers are far better than you. My internet is not working since evening. Even I clearly told that I have some urgent work in the night, hence make sure that the internet is working fine.

                    Can you please let me know the process to disconnect all my number and my family numbers. If this is the service you guys provide then there is no point in associating with Airtel any more.

                    These two guys are not to be fit in the servicing industry. Am clearly saying either disconnect the number, or I do not want to pay one month rent for any of my number.

                    Thanks,
                    Siva

                                Hi

                                A very bad experience of Airtel customer service. Being a brand you people don't know how to serve your customers. My DTH services are not working since 28th June 2018, now its 4 days; i, e. 1ist July its not been fixed now.

                                I have called customer care 100 times, your executive fool us by giving false commitments and saying we will send technician in one hour two hours, by 2 pm, by 8 pm, but no one came to help us. I am calling you guys like fools from past four days and you people are not ready to help us.

                                Very bad service, now as customer i will make sure to post this bad incident on every social media platform so that people would know how badly you treat your customers.

                                AIRTEL- A BAD SERVICE PROVIDER

                                        Today on 13th sep 2017. I visited airtel store, sangvi, pune to link aadharno to my mobile [protected]. There i got registered with my aadhar no and thumb impression. I got message aadhar link will be done in 48 hrs & informed by sms. But additionally without my permission they activated airtel payment bank account. I got sms about that. I called customer care 121. Talked to vidysagar. He said he can't close account. He told me to call on 400. I called on the no. But ivr is asking me for mpin change and no person to talk there.
                                        I am requesting please deactive my airtel payment bank account

                                        Thanks
