Website: SMS RECEIVED ON MY MOBILE PHONE

I have received sms from az-airfta informing my request for porting my idea number to airtel has been received.

Then i received sms from az-airclb informing my request for porting has been processed. A while later received sms informing the request has been rejected as details mismatch.

Please be informed that i am very happy with my idea mobile service and have not put any request for porting to airtel at all.
Please look into this urgently and take corrective action against these fraudulent operators.
Else i will have to lodge complaint against airtel with my local police station and department of telecommunication which may please be noted.
Your immediate action will be highly appreciated

      I am a resident of chandigarh sector 15-d, using airtel prepaid no. [protected] since many years but due to my phone set issues. I could not able to keep it working for few weeks, therefore it was blocked since two months. Regarding the same, i visited nearest exclusive airtel store to get reactive my prepaid number but they could not resolve my issue and made silly excuses on every visit. I am getting harassed since two months and there is no outcome by the end of airtel services.
      Please take immediate action as soon as possible.
      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
      I recharged for 399/- 84GB for 84 days, but this offer worked for only 28 days. I have a 3G sim and 4G handset, I didn't upgrade yet since my location is not 4G supported.
      Sim converted to postpaid and since last evening it is showing no service.
      I am not able to call anyone
      Airtel executives are not able to resolve this issue.
      Please resolve this as soon as possible else i will have to change my network from airtel

            I am an airtel prepaid user, and has been using it for the past 7 years plus.

            Recently, on may 1st 2017, i received a message stating that a recharge of 399 will give internet benefits of 1 gb per day, and free local calls for a period of 56 days.

            As per the message, i opted to pay 399, other than the usual ₹345 which provided me the same benefits for 28 days.
            The recharge was done on may 14th, but the benefits were not provided, and a call to the customer care reported that the recharge was invalid, thus wasting 399 of my money.
            I require either a full refund or a usual benefit of 345 for 1 month, else i will have to opt out and port my number to other providers.
            Hope the issue gets resolved quickly.
            Faithfully,

              Hi,

              I'm sanjana subbaiah. I stay in bengaluru. I'm using airtel 3g pre-paid with mobile number [protected]. For the last 3 months, i'm receiving calls from unknown numbers requesting to speak to mr. Vishal with mobile number [protected]. They all are dialing [protected] number and it is getting redirected to my number [protected]. I get more than 6 calls per day due to this cross connection issue. I have raised a complaint with the airtel customer care but they were unable to help me out on this issue.

              Please look into this complaint.

                I had taken a new dth connection online on 3th june this year
                I waited for so many days. No one called me for installation. Then again i called multiple times to their customer care. No on e helped. Finally i raised a request for cancellation. Then someone called and said they will install, i said them to proceed with cancellation as it was already 9 days after i bought it and no one came for installation.

                They accepted it and promised me that they will give a refund in 7 working days. It has been 23 days now, i have been calling them 3 to 4 times on a daily basis to get my money back. No luck.
                Such pathetic service they have.

                          I purchase a new sim of airtel in rs. 450 because they were giving 84 gb of free 4g net and free calling for 3 months. Instead only 2gb of 3g net and 1 month of free calling was given. I had also registered a complaint to them before but no action has been taken. Any clear call center no. Or customer care number where i can talk to someone regarding same is also unavailable on internet and no response on toll free no.

                            You are given the already used landline phone number 4371677 to me. So i am attending many wrong calls daily for more than a year. So i am totally vexed for getting airtel landline. I didnot know where to complain this problem. Now only i got this complaint form. Kindly allot a new landline number instead of old used landline phone number. Thank you very much sir

                                I am issuing stop payment to the cheque issued for new broad band connection under 999 plan, the reason is your people here are totally misguiding us as i am eligible for 40 mbps speed and uninterrupted service. But after your representative visited me to get the documents and cheque now they say after verifying there is defect in the box and it will take some time for rectification and only after that that the connection will made through and apart from that the feasibility in my area is only up to 16 mbps. I am really surprised and upset tp hear from your people the beginning itself is not good and how can i expect an uninterrupted broadband from your side since i am a customer of bsnl for the last 30 years and there is no problem with except the speed and i intend to switch over to you only for the speed and your people bungled at start itself as reducing my speed eligibility from 40 to 16 mbps and that too only after sometime. So i am really upset with your promises and hence i am not switching over to you

                                      Hi,
                                      I want to disconnect my Airtel broadband service please disconnect it as soon as possible. I took airtel broadband connection along with my roommates 6 months before, now everyone has vacated so I felt unnecessary of having WiFi connection for single person. Right now I'm using airtel 349 prepaid plan and satisfy with that service.
                                      So please disconnect my broadband service.
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
