      I got a message from airtel in early hours yesterday which displayed "lifestyledressingroom service has been activated @ rs99.0 for 30day (S). Txn id s[protected], 09aug17 05:38. Service will be renewed after validity expiry. To use, click http://a.ldr.mobi (Data charges apply). To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223. More services? Call 56789"
      But the fact is, i never made any such request. I was sleeping at that time. This is not the first time when airtel deducted my balance for some activation which i never asked for. Last time a deduction of rs. 30/- was there, that too before 4:00 a. M. Obviously i was sleeping at that time and got a message "thank you for making a request for activation" which i never made. They don't even provide any way to talk to their customer care executives which was there initially and their toll free no provide no means to lodge any complaints. Customers after spending so much time on their toll free no, in general engaged in his/her activities afterwards and somehow forget about the issues as the same was happened with me in previous incidents. This is the way airtel provide service to his customers.

          Hi,
          I was happy customer of Vodafone until recently where I kept receiving calls from your channel partners even on weekend and later in nights. When asked to stop disturbing me i was told by the executive that if I port to airtel then they will stop calling me. Finally i agreed to transfer to airtel and then the problem started. While porting I was told I will get 399 plan with 15 gB data and unlimited call. I agreed and had somebody to collect the documents on 23/07/2017. they handover the SIM[protected]u) but after my vodafone service stopped on 7th August and Airtel service didnot start I called 121 airtel customer service to hear that they have updated the wrong SIM number. Had to visit airtel outlet to get that changed and got the service on 9th August. Today i received a call from service team and i was surprised to hear that they got the porting done with the plan Rs 649 and 7 gB data (only an insane person will agree to this plan in this world and that too when I was in better plan in Vodafone). Request your help to change my plan to 399 with 15 GB data and unlimited call. If you can please help me to port back to Vodafone. Attached the document i received from Pruden where they never document the plan.

          Hi airtel team,

          Please see the attached email and a photo of whatapps which was sent to me by one of your alliance partner thinking that I am still not on airtel network. There are two concerns that I would like to raise here:

          1. You as airtel customer service dont have details of discussion which I had with your alliance partner before moving to airtel. This resulted me in having misguided by your alliance partner. You dont seem to have plan which your alliance partner is selling to the customer.
          2. How can you leave your customer at such a vulnerable stage where the commitment made to the customer is not fulfilled?

          Even this alliance partner of yours was not ready to share any details or send information on email Finally when he did, he sent it from gmail and shared the details on whatsapp and not sure whose number is that. They dont want to keep evidence of any discussion they had with customer and this is how typical behaviors of all your alliance sells partners are. And I feel they are only in business of trapping customers.

          If you are looking forward to have long term relationship please change the plan to 499 with 15 GB as it was promised else reduce the billing to 399 and expect me to move out in 2 months (thats the locking period for porting now, I will go back to Vodafone if you fail to change it). In todays competitive world it is insane on your part to change so much for 7 GB data.

          Regards,
          Ranjit

                      My mobile balance has been unreasonably deducted by AIRTEL.
                      I have recently activated 349 plan which has unlimited calls and 1 GB data available for 28 days.
                      I was told my main balance around 79 INR will not be deducted but this is not the case.
                      They have deducted my balance and my number has zero balance now.
                      I have also submitted my compliant on airtel but they have not responded.

                          Hi Team,

                          Hope all is going good except customer's satisfaction.

                          I am writing today to complain of the poor service I received from your company I heard you are a number 1 network in India but when it comes to me, I think you have to be on last position. If I come to your customer's service department I think you need to work on that because it's useless,

                          I called thrice for a new broadband connection but what I got was just a big disappointment. The person committed me thrice for a technical visit and, but no one rungs my bell till now moreover one executive puts my call on hold for approx 48mints(Executive name Mr Arun)

                          I trust this is not the way That Awful Company wishes to conduct business with valued customers—I have never encountered such treatment before. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss matters further I look forward to hearing from you.

                          Thanks & Regards

                              I have an Airtel prepaid connection number [protected] from Indore MP. Whenever I was in roaming I am unable to make outgoing calls, but receive incoming calls. When I am in home network I have complaint lots of time to customer care and they said it has been solved, but the problem remain as usual. Now I am in roaming and facing same problem. I am really fedup with this kind of poor services from Airtel

                                Dear Team
                                I am totally fed up with the network. In my office area I am not able to use my airtel number due to network problem. Most of the time when my client call me they found my number is off. Same Vodafone and other network is working smoothly in this area. I have also complained in customer care but no any results I got. So I have decided to port my connection in Vodafone if this will happen again.
                                Second problem is I have taken 349 plan. In this plan calls are unlimited and the executive told me that my bill will come around 5000. But it comes 900 and sometimes around 600. This is totally miss guide.
                                I am harassed by your service network.
                                So kindly solve this problem as soon possible otherwise I will port my number very soon.

                                  As it pathetic from airtel the customer care executive saying sorry. When i recharge the mobile number [protected] rate 51 with 1gb data from paytm. But there was no msg alert on the number that it's been received or not. Just bcz of that i have like donated that amount to airtel. Was a loyal customer of airtel but now this incident is forcing me to move with some other option. That is tacnical fault but my money is gone. Worst experience

                                    I ported from my bsnl number [protected] to airtel. After 6 days my old sim got activated. But, my new sim not yet activated it's been 30 hours since my old sim got deactivated. I am not able to do any activities due to unavailability of my mobile number. Even bank transactions are pending due to otp not available. This type of service is not expected from such a reputed company. Please look into this issue as early as possible
