Connection under cug plan at your rohtak office. Your executive miss
Parul (Mob no. [protected]) contacted, me and issued me airtel no.
[protected]. I have also deposited rs. 500 fee to punjab national bank
Acc no. [protected] (Acc name rajan sachdeva) as requested by
Her. But even after nearly 20 days of my issuance she did not send my
No through courier. After repeated queries she does not provide
Courier tracking no. Then she give me contact no of another guy mr.
Rajan (Mob no. [protected]), he pics phone only once and promise to
Send me courier tracking no with in 10 minutes. After one hr of wait i
Again dialed phone no of mr rajan no but he start cutting my phone.
This behavior of your service center is not acceptable as i have
Requested under corporate tie up. If there is any difficulty in
Issuance of my phone no kindly let me know and reject my application
With valid reason.

Now i get frustrated and request you to kindly arrange/ issue
Duplicate no. Otherwise i does not have any option to escalate this
Matter to higher authority of my organization.

Sir I have tried to recharge on 15 JUL 17.
I have repeated transaction with same amount.

I have taken a new postpaid airtel sim with phone number [protected].
Recently i have changed the sim from hyderabad to bengaluru. Ever since i changed the sim, i could not access the mobile internet data.
Though i have contacted the customer care of airtel company several times, i am unable to resolve the issue. I hope that my problem is solved at the earliest.

I'm Ganesh working Delhi /NCR. I recharged Rs. 399 for my prepaid number by using my Airtel app where it is shown Rs. 399 Unltd Std&Local 70days &1GB data for day for 70 days. After the recharge I received a sms with less validity period 28days instead of 70 days.
Here I attached the screen shot of airtel app recharge amount where it is shown the plan as I mentioned the plan. detail above. Please do needful....

My airtel postpaid 4g hotspot with 6 months pre-paid no - [protected].
When i taken the connection they said to pay rs.4000/- after a month they are saying your are not paid a tax amount. The second month over they cut my connection. Whatever cheating i paid for six month you can cut four month but they said no sir after you paid the tax only we can activate the connection. When i said i'll pay my next month end because i'm not in city area. What is best you do may be you cancel the connection & you could pay the remaining money of four months or some body said your money will never come back from airtel. Once you paid only we reliase the connection. That is airtel policy.

Complaint regarding net pack validity (+91 [protected])

Sir,

Regretfully i would like to inform you that i had recharged my sim with ₹ 399/- on 20th june 2017 and the tariff for the said amount was as follows:-

Unlimited std/local calls - validity 70 days (Limited to 300 minutes per week)
Data pack 1 gb per day - validity 70 days

After successful recharge with ₹ 399/-, i got a confirmation that the tariff is successfully applied to your mobile number and validity of the same is till 28th august 2017.

I checked validity period of my data pack also using *125*1541# and it was confirmed by this ussd code, i. E. Data pack is valid till 28th august 2017.

The main issue is mentioned below and it shows the disgusting services and system of airtel communication towards its customers:-

1st issue:-

Since the day, i recharged my mobile number, whenever i make a call, a system generated voice is being played and that voice is as follows:

"validity of your internet pack is expired. Amount will be deducted from your main balance. Kindly recharge with a valid data pack to avail benefits of airtel internet pack. Dial 121314 for more information."

I am always amazed to listen this voice tag, played by the best-ever telecommunication company, i. E. Airtel and couldn't identify the exact reason why they are playing this irritating tune always before connecting me to anybody.

How can airtel company play with a customer's feeling and his/her prestige? This dedicated voice tag is stating the same clearly that customer's prestige; their embarrassing situation doesn't matter to airtel anyway and at all. I cannot even give my mobile to anybody including my family member to make a call because of this shameful voice tag which is being played by airtel without checking the validity period of my tariff and balance.

Well, i called to airtel customer care cell, after dialing 198, on 5th july 2017, at 18:30 hours regarding this issue that why airtel voice tag is being played always whereas my validity pack and enough balance, both for data and call, are already available in my mobile. After asking this query, customer care executive told me that it's a ivr system reply, which is not a complaint and even complaint cannot be lodged for this ivr related issue.

I told junior executive to transfer my call to senior one because his answer was not satisfactory and after a little wait, i was connected to senior executive. Surprisingly, senior executive also told me that this is an ivr response, which is not treated as a complaint and the process of lodging this type of complaint is not available at our end. I told him to connect me with the floor supervisor or appellate desk and he kept me on a hold for 4-5 minutes. After a hold of almost 4-5 minutes, senior executive told me that floor supervisor is not at his desk and he is not able to connect me to appellate desk because of some official reasons.

A asked that senior executive about arrival time of his floor supervisor but instead of telling the things, he gave me a wrong number, stating that this number is from appellate desk and you can call them. Right now, i don't remember that particular number otherwise i would mention the same. Well, i tried that number many times but always "this is not a valid number" voice tag was being played by airtel system and after that the line was disconnected.

I didn't try for the next time, because i was fed-up of the moderated system of airtel, so i thought instead of calling to customer care cell, i should write to the concerned division for the needful, as customer care executives were unable to resolve the error.

Anyways, i just want to know that why airtel communication has made such a silly system where plans are not being checked by the system before playing its voice tag? Don't you think it's an irresponsible thing which airtel is doing? Can you feel the humiliation of playing a song like "your validity is not..." in front of anybody while you are sitting with some prestigious people, or valuable friends or important family members? No, airtel communication cannot feel that type of humiliation because this company has become shameless that's why they have not made any system where complaint regarding ivr system can be lodged by their customer, whereas customer is not faulty.

Well, i just need the solution about this issue and if airtel company cannot serve their customers properly then they should play a voice tag "we are sorry to serve you better due to our downward flow of business, hence you are requested to port-out to some other telecommunication channel". Ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. Why should i face a time-consuming voice tag without any reason, can airtel answer, or they are liable to deduct balance only, not responsible to answer the queries of their customers? I think, airtel communication is not tired off serving their customer because they have earned more than enough money, instead.

Well, sorry for my comments and even, airtel people can feel that embarrassing situation while "validity pack expired" voice tag shall be played in his/her mobile after enough balance and packs. So, solution is needed, if airtel peoples are worried about the issue and customer's satisfaction.

2nd issue:-

For the last 10-15 days, while i am dialing jio numbers from my airtel number, as mentioned in the subject line, an another voice tag is being played "the dialed number does not exist, kindly check the number and dial again" whereas dialed numbers are valid, active at present and being connected by some other communication channels. I want to say that while i am dialing any jio number using my vodafone number, as i am using this alternative sim, the call is being connected without any interruption.

This problem is basically in deoghar, jharkhand. While i was at my residence, i. E.in bihar, this problem was not there. I was able to dial these jio numbers without any interruption.
Can airtel explain why jio numbers are not being connected by airtel while valid numbers are dialed?

I have so many disputes about my airtel number because the services or airtel are now poorer than earlier day's services. I am really getting tired of sometimes due to these types of cheap services. Anybody can be amazed to know that facts that airtel is now not providing genuine and user-friendly services, as this company was providing in the past.

So, i need a solution that why i am not able to connect with these two numbers using my airtel sim while both the numbers are active and in use.

3rd issue:-

At present, i am living in deoghar, jharkhand. My locality in deoghar, jharkhand is hridya kund (Durga bari), behind barnwal dharamshala, deoghar, jharkhand.

I am using 4g sim with 4g plan for data, i. E. 1 gb per day pack and the same is activated for 70 days, as mentioned at issue 1.

Well, in the same flat, network fluctuation and congestion is happening so often. It's really ridiculous that in the same flat, 2g, 3g and 4g all these three networks are playing with each other. I cannot explain the exact scenario of airtel network in the area and because of this often data are lost due to broken network services. Sometimes call drops are also happen due to these worst network frequencies. Sometimes network frequency is 10%, sometimes 20% sometimes 70% or so on, it shows never networks are in its strong position.

Can airtel provide me the specific and authenticated answer for these three queries or they are already relaxed with their services?

Hope for the best and immediate attention.

Thanks and regards

Dsl[protected] airtel is resorting to unfair practices. For the past 12 days my historical data usage has been blocked, not able to view. During this past 12 days my data usage keeps dropping heavily. I am able to see only total usage. From the past few months i have nearly 80 gb o[censored]nused data at each billing cycle. This month my usage is dropping drastically though consumption is still much less than previous months. I complained to airtel but they keep putting complaint resolved and not resolving the issue.

The mobile no is [protected]. Till 12th of july 2017 it was showing the main account balance as rs.36 and data balance 2.4 gb (Approx and the validity is till 28 th ju;y). Suddenly from the subsequent day to my surprise its shows all the balance as na. And showing a link for recharge. We are clue less on what is happenning.

I have also charged another number [protected] using the app in my phone. The status quo is the same as in my number.

Why should i recharge when there is balance. You should be having the details of the usage of the both numbers in your records. Act upon immediately and do the needful to resolve this issue so that the app works alright. And if you are not able to resolve it immediately extend the validity accordingly accordingly and appropriately

Let me know if i have to

I have recived offer for my number as 349rs having benifit of 1gb 3g/4g data and unlimited calling for 28 days. So i recharged and got 50 mb of data. I do have screen shot and message for same. Kindly refund my recharge amount or make my offer plan available.

Awaiting for replay

Hi airtel team

I am sunil mani, an airtel customer with mobile no. [removed] and registered email id - [protected]@hotmail.com. This post is with regard to the wrong data charges included in my current airtel bill.

On march 15, i received an email from gopal vittal, ceo, bharti airtel ltd. That i've received a surprise offer from airtel.in the offer, it was mentioned that if i send an sms by writing surprise and send it to 121, i shall receive 2 gb of extra data for 3 bill cycles (I. E, from 15th march to 4th april-1st bill cycle, 5th april to 4th may-2nd bill cycle and 5th may to 4th june-3rd bill cycle) free of cost. I happily subscribed for the offer and started using it thereafter.

Then, suddenly i got another email from gopal vittal, ceo, bharti airtel ltd. On 17th april 2017 that this surprise offer is being extended for one more bill cycle (I. E, from 5th june to 4th july). The proof of that email can be found in the screenshot below. I am also attaching a pdf copy of the email that i had received on 17th april 2017 about the extension of data services for one more bill cycle, so that it is easier for you to sort this out.

Once three bill cycles were over on 4th june 2017, i still kept using data services even in the 5th june to 4th july bill cycle (Referring to mr. Gopal vittal's email). Even in my airtel app, it was showing that 2gb worth of data is available in my phone in the 5th june to 4th july bill cycle. After, 15 days of the same bill cycle (May be around 22nd june), i realised (From my airtel app only) that i am being charged for data services. I suddenly stopped using data services and waited for my bill to come. Now, this month my bill is rs. 1732. Bill generating staff completely ignored the email sent to me on 17th april 2017 and charged me so heavily for data services. This is ridiculous. Why was i charged for data services when i wasn't supposed to be?

I even reported this issue to your call centre customer care. Even after waiting for 4 to 5 days, they came to the conclusion that my bill is valid and data services were there only till 4th june 2017. This is completely frustrating and highly disappointing to know that a big and reputed company like airtel lacks basic coordination. Because of this lack of coordination, customers like i have to suffer (By calling you again and again and writing long emails). Kindly scroll through the emails that your ceo sent to me in last few months and then waive off this bill (Of data usage worth rs. 1327.80). Otherwise, i'll not pay my bill and report this case immediately to the consumer forum.

Hoping for a positive response as soon as possible in the next few hours. Otherwise, i'll have to take some tough steps by posting this issue on social media and also reporting this to the higher legal authorities.

Thanking you

Regards
