I bought a new SIM card from an retailer a month earlier...But post one month...I'm getting unwanted calls saying that someone's brother was missing and he was using this number a year or more ago.

I have told the caller it's not the person whom you wanted to connect...But with the very surprise he's thinking that I'm a kidnapper who has kidnapped his brother and keep calling me different numbers reguriously more than from 20-25 different numbers...

I have briefed the same to the retailer and asked him to speak with the Airtel authority and replace this sim card with a new fresh number...But to my fortunate...He refused to help and asked me do whatever you want they won't do anything on this.

Why my name as registered with that sim card will be trouble and why money will be wasted with such a disaster negligence by the service provider...

My questions are :

1) Why Airtel is renewing old numbers with new SIM cards and why they are not shutting those numbers permanently to generate new series of contact number ?

2) Why such retailers have been initiated by the company...Who doesn't take any initiative to help the consumers ?

3) What if, someday if any police complaint is issued on my name as registered with the company on based of those calls made to me wondering I'm a kidnapper of his lost brother ? At that time, who will be responsible ??

I have ported my sim([protected]) from Vodafone postpaid to airtel postpaid in Jan 15. The plan i choosed was 549(with corporate plan) As per the the plan the data usage is 4GB + 3GB totally 7GB. Its not mentioned that i have to use new 4G phone which is purchased after december 2016. Only after raising complaint yesterday(29/01/2016) i came to know the details o[censored]sing new mobile to use the offer. So in order to use your plan should i need to get a new mobile phone??? I am really disappointed with your service. Though the below airtel page has been updated from 4GB to 3GB in 549 plan. its not mentioned that to get new mobile to use your offer. really got frustrated by the replies given by customer care executives saying me to get new mobile. Kindly provide a solution for this.

I have been using [protected] no. since 2 years and now my number got alloted to somebody whom i dont even know. this number was registered in my paytm account and now i cannot get my money that is in my paytm account . i was also not informed that my number is changed. i need to use my money but i cannot contact to airtel customer care . kindly look into this problem as soon as possible

I had applied airtel New broad band connection, I had submitted my all paper details on 23/1/17 and I had paid the payment on the same day for 3 months earlier. From that day on wards I dint receive any confirmation from Either Airtel / Bharathi Tele Services . Daily I am only calling (Begging may be the correct word) to the Customer care executives, and getting the information, still now I dint recieve neither connection nor any updates from thier side, to day it is 30.1.17, still I had asked to day every executive is telling apologies but no confirmation about my broad band.

I have Airtel prepaid mobile number [protected] for which I was given special offer of Rs. 159 for 2GB of 3G/4G data. On 29th January I tried to recharge the same from My Airtel app and payment option I selected as Mobikwik wallet but I got error message saying something like - Transaction failed due to server connectivity issue. As I needed data urgently that time, I loaded my Airtel Money wallet and I tried to recharge the same pack selecting payment option as Airtel Money wallet. Now that time the recharge was successful, I got successful recharge message as well as cashback message for Airtel Money wallet. The time was 9:05PM. After that around 9:30PM, I got a message that my Mobikwik wallet has been debited with amount 159 for mobile rechange and immediately after that I got another success message from Airtel saying that the recharge was successful. When I called up customer care service to check why for failed transaction I got success message and amount got charged from Mobikwik wallet I got a pathetic response.

As the first transaction was failed, I tried to recharge next time. Though I am getting double data (4GB for Rs. 159+ Rs. 159) but I don't need that. I want only 2GB of data for Rs. 159 and refund of another Rs. 159. I requested the guy to revert back the previous recharge but he is not ready to listen. He is saying that it is my fault as I tried to recharge twice. But if there was a chance of successful recharge then in My Airtel app Wait message should have appeared instead of Failure message. Is this my fault that seeing failure message I tried to recharge second time?

It looked like the customer service guy is there to put the blame on me only though I was saying that as I got failure message I tried to recharge next time.

Please help as I don't want double data for double amount charged. I want refund of Rs. 159 with deduction of 2GB of data.

I have given a request for a new broad band connection on NOV 22 2016 and i gave a cheque for Rs.3792 with number[protected] HDFC bank kotturpuram branch, I was told that the connection is not feasible in my location but to my surprise the cheque got debited from my account on Dec 20 2016, I never expected Airtel will debit my cheque without giving me a connection. I called Airtel customer support regarding this and I was told that the amount will be refunded within a week time, the interaction id for the conversation is[protected], I called them on 2nd jan 2017 to get a status on this and I was told that I will have to send a mail to get my refund, This is very frustrating, i sent a mail to [protected]@airtel.com on 02/1/2017, i got a reply from them on 08/01/2017 saying they have the excess amoount as mentioned above in my account and asked me to send a cancelled cheque leaf to process the refund, i sent the cancelled cheque leaf on 09/01/2017, after that i got a reply from airtel on 10/01/2017 as mentioned below

"Dear Abdul Fayasss,
Greetings from Airtel!
This is in reference to your email requesting refund on your airtel fixedline number [protected].
I have registered your request for refund through NEFT and the reference number is 77511114. Let me assure you that the same will be completed within 15 days.
For further queries, please email. I will be delighted to assist you." it was 20days ago and i am yet to get my refund amount, this is very frustrating and inethical from a renowned company like airtel. Please don't give any cheque to them till you get your land line or broadband working.

I raised a complaint with Airtel on November 7 telling that there is no network at my home in Kaggadasapura even though it is pretty close to the main road(COMPLAINT NO.[protected]. A person came within a week to test the network in my area of the company that boosts on "OPEN NETWORK". He found there was no 4G outside my flat and no network in my home. He mentioned that this issue has been persisting in the are for more than a year. I also talked with the nearest Airtel Store and they also had the same say regarding the issue. When I didn't find a solution for more than a month, I wrote a mail to appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com asking for the resolution. But again I did n't get a solution. I strictly told them in the email that I will not pay a single penny for using the network with issues. The mail chain has been going on from that time but no action was taken. When I followed up in the mail I was told on the call that within 15 days the issue will get resolved.

When the issue was not resolved for 15 days I again followed up and then I was told that it will take 3 more months to resolve the issue and I will have to pay the bill as I have been using it. My say was why should I pay for using the bad network.

Please help me.

Dear Sir,
My name is Hari Krishna & i have Airtel postpaid connection with number [protected] with Mumbai region. I lost signals since 28/1/17 without any reason whereas i dont have any pending bills at all. When i am trying to reach their representatives, all are saying there is no problem with their service & it will get sorted soon. I could not have many important calls till now due to this issue. I want compensation for the loss from Airtel for the same. It is really embarrassing after several calls also there is no response from their end. They are taking undue advantage of the customer's weakness as this number is important to me & i cant change it as of now. Kindly look into the matter & do justice to me.
Complaint no for ref : 73799104, 73817593

I have received a call from Airtel Number : [protected] and inspite of advising him, continuously giving a call and harassing using unethical behavior and words, Request to kindly take an action against the number.
Also i would advise if there is any way where we can block unwanted calls online using our Mobile network account as this seems to very useful for any person to do that online and if there is any such facility please advise.
Thanks

My number [protected] automatically calling to unknown numbers that are not in call log and contact list .capnplaint it Airtel for several times, but the problem is as it is.continusaly receiving calls from that numbers ..2 FIR's have been already logded against me.airtel misusing my number

My airtel number [protected] data balance 2.5 GB not carried forward when I charged rs.197 on 29.1.17

Registered mobile number [protected]

Even after complaining repeatedly 8GB of data is deducted from my account today, for regular web browsing. Even my jio mobile data (1GB) is more than sufficient for my daily use. I want an explanation for this loot. Yesterday 10 GB of data was debited from my account without any reason. If airtel do not compensate for my loss i will approach the consumer court and also start an online campaign regarding this issue.

I also have noted that this kind of cheating is very common in airtel to force the customer to buy your smartbytes package. Refer to the complaints available online:

https://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/airtel-broadband-data-theft-cheatin...⇄

I need an immediate solution for this or disconnect your broadband and pay me compensation.
