    Dear sir/mam,

    The second request for disconnect of service on [protected] was requested to 121 from corporate id on 23 june 2017. It followed with discussions with various airtel representatives trying to sell the service again to me for almost free. I wanted to close the service and was sure that i have not used it for last two month and will not be needing it. It was agreed on phone that they will close the service and they asked me pay the last bill which they also said can be vaivered if i just make the sim as pre paid. But i wanted to close thus decided to pay the last bill and close the connection. The last amount was paid in full without any two months usage on 6 july via ref citrusairtel. Airtel now has started sending collection calls for some additional money they want. How poor can they get to is shown by their such behavior. If people dont want your service they dont want it. Can we have an end to such harassment.

    Thanks & regards

          Today (08.08.2017) at 7.40am i made on line recharge to my wife's airtel number viz., [protected] but so far it has not been credited to my wife's number. This was done by using my pnb debit card. The amount was deducted from my account in pnb but the amount is not credited in my wife's mobile number. First i did for data rs.148/- and again rs.250/- for talk time recharge. Kindly credit the same immediately to my wife's number.

            From where you get my number if?

            I was in Vodafone prepaid mode. Airtel customer called me and convey giving offer for 349rs unlimited calls 6gb Internet 3000msgs free roaming charge per month. Once I changed to airtel they set 499rs plan whatever they said previous all things lie. It's a forgery to cheat a new user.

              I ported my number to airtel and they couldnt do it in 2 weeks also. I had to live without any cellphone on my birthday also. And their customer care is so careless and annoying they wont help you ever so its better to not opt for airtel ever. Customer service is worst! Very very poor. I recharged my after when it was finally ported then also its not working and the recharges are not working. I recharged with 102 and got 1 rs in main account. Really poor service.

                      He most pathetic service i have ever seen. Can this be escalated to the area manager please?

                      I have placed a request ref no. 64010367 on 7th aug 2017 to upgrade my set top box to internet tv box. I got a call from an engineer called santosh - [protected] on 7th aug evening for the request and i told him that the set top box need to be replaced. He spoke in a very rude manner and just hung up on me without closing the conversation.

                      I called the customer service again to complain against this engineer and requesting to assign another service engineer. Another request was placed ref no. 64011601 stating that the engineer is rude.

                      On 8th aug, 10.15 am i receive a call from santosh again and i requested him to come at 3.30 pm to install the set top box, however he again spoke rudely and said that if i cant be home then why did i even place the request. He said that he will close the request mentioning that there is no stock of the internet tv set top box.

                      I had no clue that the airtel service is so pathetic. If the set top box is not placed today, i would like to discontinue the services with airtel.

                      Requesting an update asap on the same.

                          I was done a recharge in my airtel app to my own no mistakenly as i was supposed to recharge airtel dongle. What i am asking i am a costumer & i am asking to cancel my own order of my own no recharge. After contacting to customer care they are replaying there is no option.

                          1. I used my airtel app
                          2. I done recharge to my own no which is already in 399 plan in spite of that the recharge is showing successful for 349 how it is possible this is cheating.

                            Dear sir,

                            your team member call me and tell that u got a 1 GB data for 3 months as a free gift as u r a postpaid connector to the air tel. Now for the free data they are collecting the amount of internet usage of Rs 445 for every month. I donot understand the concept of gift and collected the money for every month .. The bill details are showing in my airtel accounts..

                            K.Ravi Teja.

                              Sir,

                              Pl. Refer my e mail complaint dated 7.8.2017. Even i went personally to airtel customer care at khan latif khan office at hyderabad near lal bahadur stadium and after paying rs.26.00 got sms recharge. I complained to them also and told them that i was trying from secretariat office to contact customer care office of airtel and wants to talk with one of them personally but could not get connected. One of the executive took my mobile and dialed some number and at the other end executive i told my problem, but he told the he will connect to one of the supervisor of ailtel. The supervisor told me that he dos't know the english and will talk me with telugu. It is very fun they a person is working with airtel does't know the english. We can check the recorded cd in your office. Very shame. He then told that he will connect to his higher officer and made me wait for some minutes and just simply disconnected. After some time i received smsat 17.51pm "thank you for contacting us. Hope the concern related to your airtel mobile [protected] has been resolved to your ref. No. Is cbnrs [protected] registered on 07 aug, 2017 17.51.

                              I feel your service is very bad... As you ailtel are giving such service so people/customers are being switched to jio. Even i sent mail by complaint this issue but not received an acknowledgement or reply.

                              I hope some of your higher office will look into this.

                                        We had enjoyed very good speed with 4g connections until 45 days ago. The speed has detoriated suddenly with lot of connection drops. It is now not even up to 2 g speeds often. It is worse if we do mobile hotspots.. We have made several complaints. The last we complained, they said even the call center network is down and asked me to call back later. All in my family use airtel and now that it sucks we are planning to move away after so many years.

                                        Every time you call customer care, they say they will resolve this in next 5 days and cut the call. It has been a month like this for me and my family members with Airtel 4G. FB videos don't play, most of sites don't load, you have to keep on refreshing to get them loaded at least once. Experience with payment gateways is again worse.

                                        If a company like Airtel is not able to invest in infrastructure at such a hot IT location, I am not sure how they even plan to capture market share. Is this a trick to convert us into broadband? I was considering postpaid but by seeing the present connectivity experience, I have no trust to convert.
