Dear sir,
I have paid an advance rental for my airtel broadband connection for 6 months as per the plan committed to me. After receiving the payment they have changed the plan to a lower plan. On raising a complain for frequent disconnection i was informed about the plan change also. On asking the refund of the advance rental they have denied saying its an one time payment which was never shared with any body from airtel.
Its a kind of fraud airtel has started doing with there customers.

My land line no is [protected] and my broadband is not working from last 4days and contact customer care more than 65 times but not giving any proper answer and the air tel officers also not giving any proper answer and even though they are not giving higher authority no also and I have this problem from last month in 2 are 3 days the broadband is not work

Namaste, this is regards with the new airtel connection activation for mobile no [protected], Bangalore.
This is very surprise and not expected that i will not get response even after seven days after verification of new connection????? Please note that verification has done successfully and whenever i have checked with my details with sim distributor then he told that your verification has been successful,
Request you please take this seriously and take action at earliest, Either start this new connections or confirm that you can’t do it, then i will go to any other service provider.

1 month back, two of my friends who are staying in my area have bought new Airtel broadband connection of 1099Rs plan @16Mbps and I am using the same plan for the past four months but with just 8Mbps. So, I have called Airtel customer care today to ask them why I was not intimated earlier about this speed upgrade from 8Mbps to 16Mbps since my area is feasible for it. Customer care person said it's not possible and after a long conversation, he has transferred the call to retention team. Retention team person said that 'If yu want, yu have to call us man, we will not intimate you', he was so rude in his speech.and I haven't seen a such a worst customer service like this. Also, he said there are so many customers who are paying 1099Rs for 2Mbps speed. OHhhh MY GOD, how dare he openly agreed that he is cheating the customers.Is this the right way to talk? So, it's totally cheating and you making customers fool. Finally, the retention team person told me to look for some other better service provider and started talking about the connection closing procedures. I am really fed up and I am mentally got stressed.

Dear service team,

Hi, this is Mr.P.K.Kunhikannan from Kolkata having airtel prepaid connection no. 0091-[protected]. I lost my mobile yesterday night, hence, I want to request the Airtel team to please BLOCK this Sim card ASAP.

Please guide me through the process of issuing a duplicate prepaid SIM card (if possible, with the balance amount from my previous SIM). I expect a quick solution to my problem with further knowledge of the procedure

Regards,
P.K.KUNHIKANNAN

Kindly get to my problem and provide me with suitable option to pay my bill.

I am suddenly receiving these messages on my idea sim.
I never requested for any other sim or any airtel service.
It seems somebody got himself a sim on my name.
I want to resolve this issue so that no body could use a sim on my ID for illegal activities.

Following are the messages received from Airtel.

1st message from AK-AIRFTA

airtel mobile [protected] is now activated. Pls call [protected] from your alternate mobile number for verfication and service activation.


2nd Message from AD-AIRRTV

Thank you for your interest in Airtel! We received your request for activation of mobile no. [protected]. The same will be activated within 24 hrs.


3rd message for AD-AIRRTV

Dear customer verification with your local reference for your Airtel Mobile [protected] has been completed successfully. We will keep you updated on the progress.

I had registered a complaint about range issues in my area to airtel customer care centre. When i try to make a call the call gets disconnected continuously. There are two airtel connections in my house. Both face the same issue. I called up customer care three times in last two months. First time they told me that they'll get back to me within 2 days but no response came from their side. I called two more times and still no response.They never even bothered to follow up on my complaint. I would like to regretfully inform that i am forced to change both my connections because of the horrible service provided by airtel.

I am naveen kumar ([protected]@gmail.com)

I have applied for a new airtel broadband connection on 13/05/2016 for the address #3/194, 3rd cross street, kumaran kudil annex, thoraipakkam, chennai -97.
I made a payment of 1000 and gave my id proof and pictures to the airtel broadband executive person. (Name: basha, contact: [protected])
After which i have received no calls regarding my connection, when i tried to reach out to the person who collected my details is not picking up the calls for more than a week. I am stranded with no clue to whom to contact and get my new connection. I wonder how these executives is so irresponsible to even respond to calls.
My ack slip serial no : tnpc757016

I request any airtel concerned team to help me in getting the connection.
Thanks in advance.

Sir,
My name is sunil kumar from jamshedpur. I was purchase airtel sim card approximately ten to twelve year ago but that time i was no address prof so i taken second person address prof and i take sim card.
Now that sim card is not read in any mobile so please request you allow duplicate sim card and replace [protected] this no.
O i request you quaky proceed.

I had recharged two times 500rs each, the transaction was successful but recharge failed saying there is some technical problem.

It has been 18 days there is no refund and every time there is some new answer from the cc

Highly disappointing, the services are not supportive at all. Technical faults from the merchants end and the customer has to make n number of calls.

Hi,


Yesterday[protected] i was recharged mobile number [protected] by tariff plane 85 to deduct pulse rate on my mobile number but 85rs deduct two times in my account.


My mobile received recharge message two time 6:30 and 7:07. How it is possible same tariff plane activated same number same time or same day.


If it is possible then this vary beg problem in you software recharge. Airtel company not a small brad it very big brand if this type cheating problem face by customer this is not good new for you company or organization.


If same plane activated on same number same time or same day it will be ignore second time recharge or it will be recharge like 28*2 = 56 days.

Issue is: converting this two numbers 98*4 and 90*4 from postpaid to prepaid request

I am very disappoint and feel very unsatisfied with all airtel customer services, level 1, level 2 and level 3 support and reply regrading this simple issue to convert postpaid to prepaid.
They don't care of the issue just provide the time frames to fix the issue and after that again some time... Same circle is going on.
They don't care if they lose one customer as they have large number of customers that why they are in demanding position.

For my issue level 3 has given 48 hours to complete and fix my issue, but they also failed.
This how your customer services department is working.
If they do not fix simple issue than what they are doing regrading major issue.


I have internet and home phone from airtel also feeling to remove this services also.
I will also post comment on all social website regrading this issue.

Very unsatisfied... Below the emails regarding reply from airtel support.

Thank you

I want to let you know a fraudulent activity by airtel employee. I received a call from airtel caller-payal ([protected]) to convert my existing number ([protected]) to airtel postpaid number. She offered me rs-199 plan which contains 600 calls + 400 sms; i agreed on it.
Next day an agent came to me and give me a new airtel sim and ask me for and id proof and rs-250. Again i got a call from airtel ([protected]) for confirmation, but now she told me another plan details as 270 local + 160 std minutes which was different from previous details that i refused.
Now i want my money back. So i request you to please do the needful.

In chennai near mugalivakkam, for the past two days (From may 18 - 2016), i am getting only cross connections in the airtel number, couldn't establish connection in either way both incoming or outgoing, (Where as other networks works good)
I was helpless during my emergency. (Whatsapp helped me)
Irresponsible customer care people asks us to bare it till july.
The same case happened in the month of april and took more than 15 days to get corrected.
Useless service...
