        Since last 4 days, i am having a lot of problem accessing the internet. On observing i found, the problem is that internet is working in the loop of one minute that it works for 1 minute then stop for another full one minute. I am not making it up the problem is literally as stupid as it sounds. This is so frustrating specially when in online conversations. Please see to it.
        And why it is so hard to reach airtel customer care??

          I did two recharges on 28 july 2017, but it is not reflecting in my airtel account.
          Airtel customercare telephones do not have option to lodge complaint. Also, reaching an executive is a big task, as the option is unavailable.
          Once could get after long try, the guy did not respond well and hanged the phone.
          My recharge reference as per receipt from airtel are below.
          1.[protected] for rs 399.00
          2.[protected] for rs 92.00
          I am unable to use mobile with zero balance now.
          Please credit the recharges immediately and confirm by mobile and sms.
          Please note i lost confidence on recharges done online due to very poor options on customercare telephone menu.
          Treat matter urgent.

                Why do i keep getting calls asking for my bank and debit card details so that the money could be refunded, instead of refunding why cant you just put the amount on my prepaid or is it a false alarm someone trying to take advantage of the situation ...can i not expect any genuine help instead .am very dissapointed.

                  Website: www.airtel.in

                  I had request broadband connection in my area gurgaon, sector 23 through the airtel portal HTTPs://WWW.airtel.in/broadband/ on 31 march 2017.

                  On 7th april 2017 airtel representative came at my place and asked me to fill the form and given the security money 1000 rs cash. He had given me form replica where is shown 1000 rs paid.

                  Next day i got call from the same representative that my due to some technical problem they can not provide connection i asked him to refund the money he said i have to talk customer care he can not refund directly.

                  I called the customer care people they said mail at [protected]@in. Airtel.com with the repcipt i got from the representative after that they will start refund process and refund will come in my given account number.

                  I send him all the required document with canceled cheque photo copy.
                  Since there is no response each time i call the customer care they said same thing i have send many times at least 15 times all the related documents but there is no action has been taken.

                  Its been almost 5 month and this is very painful and stressful the call them each time and got same response, i'm middle class person who works in private company it is hard to me to call call them every next day to listing only them and no action after that.

                  Please provide me my refund with dignity there should strict action against aritel which claims no 1 in service and customer care #.

                  Cfn no: 5097311
                  Attached the only document (Filled form photocopy) i got from airtel.

                            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
