      Airtel — airtel services reduced the recharge balance zero without using separate net pack

      Respected sir/madam,
      My balance was zero without using mobile net services. I have put separate net pack for one month on 11th august 2017. After one month separate net pack is over.
      By mistake i kept settings data connection on of airtel at 15th september 2017 where my separate data net pack over. You can check data usage or calculate by how much the person exactly operated or use internet on the mobile. You could have stop the net by giving message even though when data connection is on, or stop the net on mobile instead of keeping recharge balance zero. This mistake was repeated four or five times, otherwise i would stop using airtel services and go to other mobile services. Please refund my balance ie. Rs 193.85 or add in my mobile wallet very soon. Do not cheat the customer, as airtel is reputation company.
      Please do the needfull and take it seriously.
      Thanking you,
      Yours faithfully,
      Minal powar
      a REMINDER is a Gudd Suggestion but...

      being a Customer or User it should be our responsibility too to Check that are we running out of data pack or not...
      We Can't blame a Company for Our faults..

            My dth account id is [protected].
            I had subscribed to a airtel dth hd set op box connection and a annual hd infinity package. 1 month back i got a call to upgrade to internet set top box for rs. 2500. I upgraded to it but am not happy with the product. Hence i called customer care to downgrade me to my old set top box. Customer care person replied that this cannot be done and so i asked them to disconnect my connection and refund me the upgrade amount along with the unused infinity package amount. The support person said that they can process the infinity package return but will not refund money for set box and that i had to return the box as well.

            I am willing to return the box in exchange for refund which i understand is a sort of security deposit.

            I have been chasing customer care for 5 days and would switch to another dth connection if this is not resolved. Can you please look into this urgently?

                    Airtel — regarding not receiving any signal except emergency calls only

                    It's been a month and my issue on receiving signals is not yet solved. I received many calls from airtel stating my issue will be resolved but none is taken care. Im ashamed of saying that consumer complaint is such a waste, even though i made a complaint from this there is no use. I think everyone one is bribed. What is use of consumercomplaint.in, even after complaining from this govt registered one there is no action taken from airtel. They are not even feared of complaining in this site.
                    And my previous complaint are stated below to consumer complaint.

                    It's been 6 days i raised a complaint against airtel, but till today i haven't received any call or email from airtel regarding my complaint. Now i came to know after these many working days even after complaining in consumercomplaint.in airtel is not at all taking any action on my complaint. So the hope on government is also vanished from me in solving my issue. Even the government is not at all taking any action towards this. And my older complaint is stated below for your kind information.

                    I p. Saipavan with bearing airtel mobile number [protected] have recently ported to airtel in the month of march or april 2017. At first i recieved signal in roaming i. E in kerala but when i changed my location to goa i stopped recieving signals from airtel and they asked me to take a new sim from andhra itself. So i kept in "safe custody" to not to lose my number if it is not used for months. Last month i. E on julu 31'st i have taken a new sim from airtel store in vijayawada, it worked well till i crossed the border while returning to goa. I stopped recieving signal from 6th august as i just crossed the border of andhra pradesh. Here in goa again i have a new sim in local store nearby vasco and that new sim to stopped recieving signals as soon as i inserted it in my phone and it was showing emergency calls only. First i thought it was my sim tray problem but others sims from other networks are working in the same sim tray but not airtel. I have raised a complaint on this issue to airtel on 7th august 2017 but the actual complaint is registered from airtel 9th august and 11th august i got a response from airtel stating with a service request number 78555330 and our network team is working with the issue and it will be solved on or before 16th august 2017 but the issue is not yet solved and im not at all recieving any signals from airtel to my number and they are not even responding to my mails and asking me to wait.
                    And my question is???
                    1) will my isuue wil be solved or not??
                    2) how many days i have to wait for recieving signal???.
                    3) i dont want to loosed my number i. E [protected] since it was registered with all my bank accounts and all my contacts in my phone are used to this number.

                    Please consider this issue at most as i was not able to recieve any signal from airtel apart from emergency calls from the past 10 days. Please do the needfull

                              You claim to offer a 399 pack that has validity for 84 days with 84 gb, but you have made it available for only a limited set o[censored]sers.in simple words it is customized and available for only a few. Why announce such an offer when it is not available for everyone? Kindly let me know how the plan works! You are blatantly putting up a false marketing gimmick. Check into this and please be fair to all in terms of how your plans work.

                                Your company send me legal notice through "jan adalat (Court)" in order to pay remaining amount of my airtel broadband & landline connection.

                                When i lived in indore, i took an airtel broadband & landline connection (Advanced rental plan for 5+1 month) in march 2015 and used that connection around 2 years (March 2017) till i lived in indore. Then i requested to your customer to disconnect my airtel connection though they told me that we will proceed my request and disconnect the connection but they didn't do.
                                Many customer care representatives of airtel called me (During the period of end of my subscription plan) and ask me about my plan on airtel connection but i replied all of them same, to close my connection as soon as possible because i had to leave that place but no one did.

                                I had already informed to your customer care representatives on call about my disconnection of airtel connection though my plan was advance rental (Prepaid) plan but they didn't do it on proper time.

                                After our disconnection request we do not use any amount of internet data till now (07/09/2017) but bills generated in the duration of april-2017 to june-2017.

                                Due to their failure & mistake, they are forcing me to pay the remaining amount that's not failure of mine.

                                So, i kindly request you to remove the charges applied on my account or on me and also stop sending me the legal notice for the submission of remaining amount of airtel broadband & landline connection.

                                        Hello airtel,

                                        I am manoj dattatraya mugdar, airtel user from last 10 years.

                                        My postpaid details as below,

                                        Airtel number : [protected]

                                        Current monthly plan : rs. 499.00

                                        Billing cycle : 11th of every month.

                                        As i mentioned my monthly rental plan is rs 499.00 with benefits of 5gb internet data and unlimited voice calls, and i used this plan from last few months without any interruption.

                                        I'm writing this mail regarding some service issue.

                                        1. Last month (11 july - 10 august 2017) my total billing amount is rs 1751.96 it includes monthly rental rs 499.00, internet usage charge rs 985.76 plus taxes rs 267.20.

                                        2. Current month i'm getting 5 gb data of as per data plan and previous month balance data 1005.6 mb. Referred attached screenshot of myairtel app.

                                        3. My concern is if i got previous balance data for current use (Which i'm continuously monitoring day to day to avoid any extra charges for internet uses) then how you can charged me extra internet usage for previous month?

                                        4.in my monthly bill (Invoice no[protected] internet usage showing 201883 pulse and when i convert this into gb it shows 1.92 gb if adding total billing usage and balance data its observed that which is lower than my monthly plan.

                                        5. For above mentioned points i'm continuously following with customer care upto 9 times and also visited to airtel gallery at dombivali but i'm not getting fixed solution on this issues. I'm getting only two complaint no's while i'm calling nine times to customer care. From two of these one complaint (Complaint no[protected] is closed without my satisfaction and another one is open (Complaint no[protected].

                                        This is big issue i'm continuously facing after application of gst, due to this i'm totally frustrate and it impact on my routine work.

                                        Please take an immediate action and resolved this issue on top priority now i'm paying as per my monthly bill rental to avoid any late payment charges.

                                        I'm waiting positive reply from your side.
