Broadband Number :[protected]

I am being harassed by the Airtel retention team after I requested the disconnection of my Airtel Broadband. I have been getting at least 3 calls every day for the last 20 days asking me the reason for disconnection and them trying to give me alternates. I have clearly stated and pleaded with them that I am disconnecting as I will not be in the country for a prolonged time. Instead of doing this, I have been getting calls everyday from different agents asking me the reason for disconnection and actually not disconnecting the service. I have no dues left with Airtel and this has become a clear case of harassment.

Airtel please do the needful and disconnect my service. Even if I return to India, I am not going to use your services because of this harassment. This is not how you retain customers.

    On 29th March 2022 and 31st March 2022 I had recharged my airtel numbers for rs.99 . ( 2 different numbers) Both the times, i paid using gpay and the money got debited from my account but the recharge was not done. This is highly disappointing. I want a refund for both.
    This must be done as soon as possible

        I have been complaining about the poor network issues since 4 months. But the network is being even worse now. They are postponing due date to solve issue every time I complain about their provided services.

            I have joint postpaid account with my husbands number with Airtel and when my husband moved to Germany we just activated a 24 hr international roaming pack for some urgent problem so he could have get few calls that day and with the assumption that it will get deactivated again like it was before and while activation it was no where mentioned on the app saying if we use any service post the 24 hrs even by mistake this pack will keep on activating . But for 2 months they kept on charging this 649 whenever my husbands number used again unintentionally the data . Also not even a single time we got any notification that a pack of 649 is activated on your account today like we got it the first time. And even after visiting the customer care centre and dropping them multiple emails I have not got any resolution from them plus they have again increased the bill amount to 21k from last months 18k.
            Also last but not the least when I received the first bill of 6k I tried deactivating the IR service using app it didn’t allow me and then same happened the next month and I have attached the screenshot and provided the same to the customer care.

                My name is ganesh p and my number is [protected] and my email id is ganesh.[protected]@gmail.com. I requested for porting from Airtel to Jio on Jan 6th. The jio person, helped me pay the Airtel outstanding amount and gave a Jio Sim and took photo of me. He mentioned the porting is done and your airtel sim will stop working in 3 days and you can use jio sim after that. But somehow airtel closed the porting request stating the complaint is resolved, though i did not approve stopping the porting. When i enquired Airtel, they said they did not get any porting request, though i have received multiple sms and calls from airtel to re-think about porting and stop it. When i escalated this to the airtel nodal officer, i was told by the nodal officer that airtel did not receive any porting request and when i asked about why your sales folks called me repeatedly top stop porting, the nodal officer said will get back and never got back.
                Also i never asked for IR in my phone and im continuously billed for that..I escalated to the appalle officer, but i did not get any response though.
                I paid all outstanding when i did porting on Jan 6th, later i received an sms stating my complaint has been resolved, when neither i gave any complaint or stopped the porting request. Moreover i have been charged IR rental, rental after jan 6th, when technically airtel should have ported my number.
                I even requested later to airtel its due to their fault i could not port, SO asked them to remove any charges after jan 6th and port my number atleast to airtel prepaid, which was also not done
                The nodal officer acted as if they did not get any porting request when clearly i have proof of making the porting even according to sms from airtel, asking me to stop porting request and text that they have received the porting request and also my outstanding bill at the time of porting request on jan 6th is 0

                    I have been using the airtel service with mobile number[protected] for more than 15 years. Before few days SIM card stopped working and when I visited the airtel store I came to know that my sim was registered in another name. This seems to be a complete fraudulent act for the fancy number and they also saying that since this is a fancy number we cannot get it back. We have given this [protected] in all our aadhar card, bank, ration card and passport and we have all the proof. Recently before 3 years only we got airtel 4G sim from the same airtel store by replacing our 3G sim. I do not understand how they gave 4G sim if the 3G sim is not registered in my name. This seems to be a big scam for the fancy number. I request to get my sim card ASAP.

                            Email sent to Airtel, no response form them, they continue to harass me and my family.
                            Dear Airtel,

                            I had like to bring to the attention of the responsible Office bearers @ Airtel on the irregularities/fraud in bill collection process.
                            The Airtel executives are trying to extort money from me - to put it blank.

                            Just to give back ground, I had cancelled my Broadband connection six months back, this after making multiple calls to Airtel making the outstanding payment on the broad band connection then and cancelling the connection. At first they refused to accept the cancellation of my broad band connection, quoting various procedural formalities, like call on such and such a date … make payment etc.

                            Finally I managed to cancel my broad band connection multiple times. I have recorded few of my conversation with the executives.

                            These executives keep calling me daily and disturbing me in my business/office hours. My self and and my family are under great stress and exposed to extreme harassment by the Airtel executives.

                            I have good standing relationship with Airtel for over 30 years now. I am hopefull that this is Issue addressed at the earliest and bring back sanity.

                                Hi,
                                I recently swapped my existing sim with a new one as the existing one was throwing’invalid input’ error while inserting. But after 3 hour my existing sim stopped working and the new sim was not activated. After 12 hour when I tried, the new sim was not working. In fact the sim is undetectable. No network, no service nothing. I am working from home with that number. I am stuck now. Please help me on this. My alternate number is [protected](it is my brother’s number)

                                Thanks,
                                Satya

                                    Air-tel is bothering me pay for charity after paying the pending charges when I ported the number to Jio . I am not sure how many times you will ask me to pay pending charges. Is this some charity you are expecting? I have cleared the balance and paid the pending charges as per Air-tel. But why is that you are asking me to pay pending charges again. Why do you have to scam people with the threat that you will disconnect the service. I am sure that 42 rs per person will make a huge difference . Why not ask for alms directly than scamming people,

                                    I went to the payment link thinking I should donate you, and sadly payment link does not even work. How pathetic!!
                                    I tried paying using Google pay, amazon pay, phone pay and debit card details - nothing works ! Wow stone age

                                    Why do you advertise about customer care when you actually have none
                                    All crap automated system goes in circles and there are options only as per your convenience.

                                    Your chat system is bogus.
                                    I had one air-tel postpaid number that I saved before . I have called that number : [protected] and one senseless man told me to search for the customer care number in google and dial. Hilarious !
                                    On what criteria do you hire people ? Is it based on cow-dung n the head?
                                    I have screenshots on how your payment links failure.

                                    Give me an explanation why you require the pending charges when this was already paid. I NEED a response.

                                      Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 1799 and had activated a pack for next 365 days.

                                      Next using 'phone pe' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 2999 and pack for next 365 days.

                                      I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

                                      Now they were not ready to refund it as it was done through third party app g pay
                                      ) where in they were ready to refund it if was done through airtel app.

                                      Does it make sense?? No matter how you pay money i was paying it to airtel.

                                      Kindly look into this at the earliest and i am ready to provide you all yhe the transaction details as i want to find a solution for this by having the money refunded.

                                      Thank you.
