Dear sir

Sub :- portability
Ref mobile no : [protected] (Prime number)
[protected] (Add on number)

I have been shifted from idea to airtel through portability
After getting benefit plan compare to idea from their call centre
People along with my add on number.

For my prime number unlimited calls roaming, sms,
25 gb net for rs 499 plan

For my add on number unlimited calls, roaming, sms, 1gb
Broad band for rs 299/-

Now they send bills for each seperately rs 499/- each with out
Adding to prime number. When i approach they said different plans
For both my numbers.

They given wrong commitments, plans but not giving actually.

Pls check and resolve it as soon as possible.

Thanks and regards

    I am an airtel prepaid network user. My phone number is [protected]. An online recharge of inr 1198 was done on this number on the 14th of august this year. The services to be provided according to the plan were unlimited all calls and data of 2.5 gb /day for 84 days. The unlimited all calls facility was deactivated today on the 11th of september, 2017. Repeated trials were made to contact the customer care personnel and executive on the airtel customer care number 121 but with no success following which i went to the airtel customer care centre at 5pm on the same day where a complaint was lodged. A message regarding the redressal of the problem was received at 5:43 3pm with the reference number cogcl[protected] but the same problem prevailed.
    This problem is hampering my work and is highly unexpected of a reputed company like airtel. Would kindly request you to look into the problem. Non-redressal would force me to take the case to the appropriate forum.
    The attached images are of the message received regarding redressal and the of services of the particular tariff plan.

      Hi i took airtel family plan by porting 5 mobile numbers of my family members to have better network at a reasonable price option a month back. Initially it took me more than 15 days for the porting process with every second day the airtel people would come to my place for some or other issues related to porting at their end, they even charged me 300 rs per number as porting charges for which till now i haven't received any receipt also.
      To add to this problem airtel porting option is so pathetic that their systems were never updated with what's happening with our mobile numbers and would call for all stupid queries.
      Once the numbers got [ported the disaster started happening there was no network on either of the number to even make calls so forget about internet and any other service. The network of the airtel was never available when you needed the most.
      For this issue i made complaints to customer care everyday but till today no one from airtel bother to call and resolve my issue neither thay have done anything about it.
      Now i have to wait for 3 months to pass to port back my number from airtel. Its a big request to airtel to stop making wrong and false advertisements on the television promising 20 things when you cant even provide basic service of making calls from your network. (I have to buy one more number from a different service provider to start my calls and internet services)
      After using no network from airtel they send me a bill of rs.1150/-against my no network usage.
      Is airtel gone pay for my the new number which i took from other service provider?? Why should i pay for the services which i never used?? Does anyone bother from airtel to resolve this matter??
      Request to everyone who are planning to port their numbers to airtel... Dont do it!!!
      Worst network... Worst service provider... Need to be sued for mental harassment.

                  Sir,
                  I am a new customer of airtel mobile. As a welcome gift they gave me 1 gb data free for 3 days. As i'm happy with their service i decided to continue their service. So as per today evening 4.22 pm' s sms of airtel regarding "congrats on your new 4g handset! Exclusive offer on rs399, 1gb everyday+ unlimited all local+std calls, 84days. T&c apply. Benefit only on 4g handset + 4g sim" i immediately recharge my airtel sim with 399/- rs. As per sms i uses 4 g moto e3 power handset & airtel 4g sim i must get the offer for 84 days. Right na?
                  But after recharging they said that the offer is not meant for me so i got only 28 days validity. How it's possible? Is my money has no value? If that offer is not for me then why they send an sms to me regarding this.
                  Please help me to solve my problem and do needful for making my money valuable.
                  Either i got 84 days validity or i will get my money back

                        Hello my number is [protected]. And the sim is of rajasthan, and i am currently living in west bengal. I recently lost my sim and and after all formalities done i took new sim and retained the same number. While all the features have started normally but the sms feature is not completely accessible. It cannot send any message and i have tried everything including calling customer care and even visiting the airtel store. They are unable to help because sim is not not of west bengal. I am fed up as this is going on for more than a month and i cannot port right now because i have recently recharged the sim with value added service and if i port my service will be lost. Airtel has shown the worst face and has raised it's arm in helping me.

                            I made a call between 7p. M. To 8p. M. On monday 11 september 2017. I want to complaint about your executive named sapna kumari. She hanged up my call, i was asking about arc details but she said thankyoh for calling into airtel and then hanged up.
                            Is this the way to talk to your customer. I am totally disappointed with this kind of respons from ms. Sapna kumari. I request you to take some serious action against your executive.

                              I don't want to tell the whole story...

                              I just want to say, i was receiving very bad service from ranchi, jharkhand airtel dth.

                              And due to that i am going to change my airtel dth operator to different operator company.

                              This is the complaint for service of ranchi airtel dth.

                              Details: service engineer-
                              Jagat - mob. No. [protected].

                              Engineer checked my box and told me to change it as it was not working. So i said ok change and till now no response...
                              Always telling that coming and not comes...

                              Main person at service centre call me and talk to me and say that he will be sending engineer whithin two hrs but does not sents.

                                    Airtel is just running a big scam, my handset display got broken accidently and airtel has rejected claim and giving the reason that you should have manupulated the statement and made a strong statement due to which we would have approved your claim.

                                    I have already escaled issue to gopal vittal but all vein as this is how their shops usually run

                                      Dear team,

                                      It is with a heavy heart that i register this complaint. I would like to inform you that i have been an esteemed customer of the post paid connection of airtel for past 2 years.
                                      My number is[protected]
                                      I would like you to know that due to unfair billing of airtel i changed my connection to postpaid.
                                      In this process of porting i paid about 8000/- approximately to airtel and got my number changed.
                                      But even after that i would like you to know that i am being asked of another 3000/- with no documentation to support it. This is no less than extortion.
                                      My porting request should have been stalled in the first place rather than asking the outstanding dues now.
                                      Also, the customer representative who called from the number [protected] had a very condenscending tone and threatened with going for any further discussion. And the name will be manisha (Though i m not sure). The call happened at 16:30 11th september, 2017.
                                      The airtel staff has also been doing the same to my father.
                                      They have not send any mail regarding this.

                                      Regards,
                                      Sutanu chattopadhyay

                                        I have submitted my documents 5 days before for new broadband connection, i don't see any calls or any information on that.. I paid 500 + 200 rs for new connection.. Today i see one account got added in my airtel app but the person name is different.. It really frustrating.. Hate the airtel service most... It's not 1st time..
                                        Before also it happens... Airtel is loosing the credibility... I want my money back and launch the complaint against the person who collected my documents.. His name is abhishek and no - [protected]... It's hard to trust any more to airtel for any services.. Poor connectivity and poor services..
