          I made a payment of Rs.2, 773.94 on 21-Jan-2022 for my airtel black [protected] through airtel thanks app where I chose UPI payment and gave my icici upi id. I completed payment in my imobile app and money got debited but in the airtel thanks app it failed. I checked with the bank and they confirmed its credited to the beneficiary account and shared the transaction reference number[protected]. And also I raised a SR ticket with airtel with the number [protected]. Today I called airtel and asked for a call back from the supervisor, he informed me to send the screenshot of the statement through mail which I attached and sent a mail. Please resolve this as soon as possible since tomorrow is my due date. I need to suffer from service disconnection and penalty due to the mistake which is not from my side.

          Thanks,
          Govind

                So I received my Bill at the end of december with a very interesting observation. I had been charged for International roaming Internet usage. The interesting observation is that the data roaming on airtel SIM is switched off and looking at the detailed itemized bill i see 1 kb connections at various hours. Most hours when the phone was connected to WiFi network with airtel sim data switched off. I thought maybe some application is using the data. So I immediately took the airtel sim out of the phone.

                I had to receive some OTP on my india number so on 4 occasions I inserted the sim and this time switched of the Mobile data completely and made sure that the phone is connected to the WiFi. And guess what in my January 2022 bill I see 1kb internet usage for each time the sim was inserted (With Mobile Data switched off)... Either Airtel SIM has magic or Airtel is cheating its customers by adding the data usage when roaming international.

                Now I have been a very long time user of Airtel and have never had this issue. But It seems that Airtel no longer want me as their customer.

                In December they told me that this is an automated system and that Nothing can be done and that I used this data. But for January they have no excuse and have not replied back to my queries.

                I wrote to the Nodal Officer of Punjab also. It seems that the Nodal officer is a bot replying the same text every time.

                So the first thing I'm doing when I land back in India is to Port my number and disconnect Airtel Land Line services also. I hate it when companies cheat.

                    5. On 17 jan.. He informed that he will come back to office on 19 jan.

                    5. On 19 jan, he asked to send a video asking for video conscent for activation of my sim card and assured me it will be activated within 24 hrs.

                    7. On 21 jan, on asking about activation he informed me that video got rejected and to send a new video evidence cum conscent for sim activation. As I requested for my case reference number and registering my complaint on delayed service, for me to follow in future, he denied to provide me with the same and threatened me that either he will get my sim activation or he will not get it done if I want to get the complaint registered .

                        I have been taken Airtel post paid sim card in July in due problem with vodafone as their signal strength is not there at my home area. even repeated complaints they are not taken any positive step hence ported the same number to Airtel.
                        Since October 2021, i am seeing frequent issue of call dropping, network dropping and many time i have complained to them. they said when you complain it will take 15 working day for resolution and suddenly you will get a message that your issue resolved but real issue is not resolved. No call back to the customer for feedback as they know that it is not resolved.
                        multiple times i have quarreled with them why they are sending bill without resolving the issue. They saying that there is no process for bill wayoff. since October i am paying my bills on regularly but the issue still exist. if i want to dail then i have to comeout from my home and stand on the road to do a call. AIRTEL is not responding but sending bills to me for my post paid connection

                          Address: Bhopal

                          Hi AirTel Team,

                          I am writing this email in my huge disappointment with my latest bill showing in AirTel account.

                          I have been using Airtel SIM card since long years and due to that trust I also added one broadband connection for my home in Indore.

                          Now I have been relocated to bhopal due to my job, so I decided to discontinue that connection because now I am working from office and I have no use of it, also it will cost me around INR 1000.

                          So I called to Airtel CUSTOMER care 121 where one guy convinced me to continue connection however plan will be downgraded and it will cost monthly around INR 500, so I agreed and shared my new address of bhopal.

                          After 2-3 days, a person from Airtel calls me and informs that fiber cable connection is not available at my pincode.

                          I was disappointed and I replied to that guy to register my request for disconnection.

                          I paid my outstanding to clear it and was waiting for CALL TO collect the Router device, but now what I am seeing that still bill of INR 942 is showing pending for my account and when I called to CUSTOMER care, a girl says me that I have paid bill of Oct -Nov cycle and now this pending bill is for Nov - Dec cycle.

                          This is really ###, when I am paying my all bills timely and I am loyal CUSTOMER of Airtel, just because I want to disconnect the connection, Airtel is asking unnecessary payment to harass me.

                          This is really embarassing for me being a CUSTOMER who was trusting this company for GOOD SERVICEs.

                          It's my humble request to please check this matter, as I have already paid my outstanding balance and after that instantly i CONTACTed to Airtel CUSTOMER care to disconnect the connection.

                          Please review this and make clear the amount which is unnecessarily showing.

                          PFB my details and attaching snapshots for your reference:

                          Now that bill has increased and showing of INR 1217, what fraud is going on, I don't know, this is totally harassment.

                          Today I received a call from[protected] who introduced himself as a airtel consumer complaint department associate and asked me to install team viewer app then he asked me to process payment and instructed to add my debit card then suggested to not enter OTP which will result payment failure and he assured me that after this instance Airtel will refund my INR 942 and I have to pay this amount again, I didn't believed him so I denied to process this and disconnected the call.

                          Now I want to know, is this a way airtel works ?
                          If not, then how can a third party person came to know about this?

                          Is Airtel working with frauds ?

                                I am using an Airtel Number for last 10 years. However from Saturday i have no incoming or outgoing. I visited showroom and the executive informed that I need to do SIM Swap as the SIM may be damaged. While trying that it was found that my SIM is linked to some random person. This SIM was bought ten years ago by my father in his name. So I have no idea why it is linked to some random person and not my Name or my father's name. This is the number linked to my Aadhar and various Bank accounts, so changing the number is not an option.

                                    I have recharged my airtel number twice in last few day.
                                    Both times, it shows successful but balance not reflecting in airtel app.
                                    Also during outgoing call, I am informed about outgoing service being deactivated and needs recharge to activate again.

                                    Please help.
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                      My name is Ajay Jeyabal.

                                      My airtel number is +91 [protected]

                                      I've been using this same number for the past 12 years, now I am currently located in Dubai, UAE for the last one and half year. Since last one month my Aitel sim network has not worked.

                                      But, I have checked the airtel app and it shows my sim still active. I asked one of my friends to check in india (airtel showroom customer care service) they also told me my sim is already active.

                                      But I can't use my sim card, Kindly help me to sort out this issue.
