Subject - account no. 10582870 same centrex no. 4458 to be shifted on new no. [protected] from [protected]

I hv requested for shifting my landline no.[protected] to my new address and your customer care executive said that i will get new landline no. But the centrex no. 4458 will be same. And i got new landline no.[protected]. After that i have dropped mail for same centrex no. On 10/08/2017 and i got mail from your company on same day regarding you will get centrex no. Within 72 hours. But still i didn't got my centrex no. And i am calling to your customer care from six days and all are giving different answers and telling to wait for 24 hours our service executive will call you. I have spoken to your higher customer executive also but i am not getting proper response also. My centrex no is 4458. I request you to provide me within today. Or else seeing this type of service i have to go for disconnection for all my 10-12 landline n broadband connection.

          Hello,
          I was travelling from india to singapore for 9 days and i did an recharge of rs 1199 for mobile no. [protected], of an international roaming plan at around 9:40 pm on 5th august from airtel website but a message came that your transaction with id 883456 has been failed and the amount will be refunded within some time that was within 7 working days, i have attached the screen shot for reference and the amount was debited from my credit card. I called for airtel customer service and informed them about the issue and waited for around one hour before recharging the plan again. I had a flight at 11:00 pm from igi airport, new delhi to singapore so i couldnt have afforded to travel without the intl. Plan, therefore i recharged the plan again but this time two messages came for the same recharge and again the amount was also deducted for the same service that i cant utilize because the pack overwrites instead of giving the benefit. But i wasnt knowing that airtel serivice is so bad that it will play such for me. Please refund the amount as soon as possible because the two recharges were waste for me as i can consume the service once even after getting recharged twice by fraudulent ways from airtel. Please solve the issue as soon as possible because i have been facing many issues with airtel from some time otherwise i would be forced to port to some other networks in india. Also, i am thinking to forward this issue to consumer forum if the problem is not solved and the amount is not refunded within acceptable time limit.

              Hello,
              I am an airtel customer. My number is [protected]. I have recharged with Rs.349/- on last Thursday for 1 month service. It's being a full week till the service did not started. I called number of times to the customer care they are saying that our server is busy. If I did a 1 month recharge and already I loose 1 week service. What kind of service you guys are providing to customer. And on top of that it's still not started. So I want to cancel that recharge. Refund me that Rs. 349/-. I really want to discuss this issue on phone. call me as soon as possible or I will put consumer complaints. Very bad services provided by airtel as well as Airtel customer care. so call me as soon as possible

                Hi,

                It is very sad to know that i have been with airtel since quite a time. Few month ago i opted for airtel secure plan for the protection of my mobile. Few days ago my mobile's touch was broken and camera stopped working due to the accident in lift my phone fell from hand. I raised a claim and handset was picked by airtel.
                I got a call from agent regarding estimate and all. I agreed to their terms and conditions and they were ready to repair the handset, suddenly i got a mail from airtel saying that "we regret to inform that your device claim of rs.6579.0 has been rejected by the insurance company due to improper handling | no proper care of handset has been taken by insured to safeguard the property".
                Now i don't know what kind of reason is that, every one used to install screen protect to protect mobile's screen but still accidents used to happen and screen used to get damaged. I have opted services from airtel not from insurance company, airtel should be responsible for this not one-assist

                May i request you to look into concern as after 10 days of rigorous follow up i could register my claim and after 10 days of picking the device, i have been told that claim is rejected. I have not taken this secure services from insurance provider and i don't want to hear their lame excuses. I am going to proceed with legal option if not taken my request seriously.

                Hoping to hearing from you soon.

                I got a call from airtel agent yesterday, she said that Airtel can't do any thing in this as phone is rejected from insurance company. And the offer she was offering me was " Please go to service centre and repair your device, if the estimate goes up by 6579.0 then we will pay the balance" why airtel is making fool i don't know. But this is ridiculous.

                Also i know that same rejection reason they used to copy and send to maximum customers as per i searched internet.

                Please look into this case.

                Dear Aniket Singh,

                Greetings from Airtel!
                This is in reference to your email inquiring about status of airtel Secure claim for your airtel Mobile [protected].
                As discussed, I would like to inform you that as per service request claim got rejected due to improper handling of handset has been taken by insured to safeguard the property.
                Further we are not able to do anything regarding the same as decision lies to insurance company as they are the sole decision maker.
                Thanks for reaching out to us.
                Delighted to assist you.

                Yours Sincerely

                    This is with regards to my airtel refund for the airtel account number [protected] which i have closed. Airtel never refunded my amount, the information from the airtel support team that it is paid to some one by name mr. Gujeet singh. Airtel is not disclosing who has provided that information or authority to credit my refund to some one else nor sharing details.

                    Airtel is a big fraud company, one should not pay any advance payment to them. I will post all communications about their fraud one by one to keep the everyone informed.

                              Monday august 14th :
                              I went online on the web and changed my billing plan.
                              The moment i did that my incoming and outgoing calls stopped - however the sms's kept working

                              Tuesday15th :
                              I called airtel call center - registered my complaint. Was assured that the "backend team" would rectify the issue in 4 hours. Nothing happened
                              I called airtel call center - was informed that the matter was escalated and would be sorted the next day

                              Wednesday 16th
                              I called the airtel call center - was instructed to change my sim. Went down to change the sim - was informed by the airtel showroom team that my phone was showing pending for activation and therefore they could not activate a new sim

                              Spoke to airtel call center was escalated to the supervisor. They added their escalation note to the call and assured me it would be done

                              Thursday 17th
                              Call the airtel call center - spoke to supervisor - said they are escalating - and would be resilved - nothing happened

                              Was informed to go down to airtel office and get a new sim. Went down - and guess what - same problem. Unable to activate the new sim becauase at the backend it shows pending for activiation

                                  Number: [protected]

                                  Description of incident: ported my number to airtel and got rs.5 as a starting balance (11:45 pm). Rs.1.5 deduction of balance reported for a message sent by my phone (Approximately 8 am). Interestingly, i was sleeping at that time and there is no record of a message being sent from my number. Called customer care and was told that a message was sent by 'some' application on my phone to number 58234 (Again, no record on my phone of an outbound message). Call escalated to senior representative named sachin kumar kashyap who firmly told that there has been a message sent and is hoping that he has resolved my query. This was immediately followed by a message from adairccm saying - "(1/2) thank you for contacting us. Hope the concern related to your airtel mobile [protected] has been resolved to your satisfaction. Your ref. No. Is cbdov[protected] registered on 17-aug-2017".
                                  Incidentally, there has been other deductions of the same nature reported by many airtel subscribers and can be immediately found after a quick google query.

                                  Desirable resolution of my complaint -
                                  1. Refund rs.1.5
                                  2. Provide steps to disable whatever automatic money deduction services you have enabled on any new number including my own for posterity.
                                  Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                    On page https://www.airtel.in/prepaid-recharge they show 84 days validity for plan 399 and for the same plan on page https://www.airtel.in/mobile/terms-conditions they say 70 days validity. Please find the attached screenshots.

                                    This is confusing and misleading to those who don't read terms and conditions.

                                      I ported my number from vodafone to airtel for the 499 package in first week of august 2017. Though airtel offered this pack (Including data service), there has been no mobile data connection (At all locations) in my phone for the last three weeks (For both 3g and 4g connection). I use an iphone 6 and never faced such an issue when i was with vodafone. I have already raised a complaint and followed up several times, but there has been no update. It shows that my data pack has been activated but i cannot access internet. My complaint reference no. Is 78613223. If it will not get addressed by tomorrow, i will quit airtel. I also have 10 more connections that i will quit including airtel broadband, prepaid and post paid connections.
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
