Sir,
I am using airtel company's prepaid connection with no.[protected] & i want to know incoming & outgoing details for this month (jan09 &feb 09)
plz send my detail's to my e mail id...

I have ported my number from Andhra Pradesh to Delhi and it ported in 7 days on 13th feb from Airtel Postpaid to Airtel Postpaid, on the same day ie 13th feb i have lodge a complaint that my internet services are still not activated, the customer care executive told me it will be resolve in 8hrs, i called again after 8 hrs they told me it may be some technical fault so it will be resolve surely in 24hrs, and after 24 hrs i didn't got my problem solved so i called again and this cycle of calling customer care and getting fake commitments i am getting from every member of to whom i am talking whether he is customer care executive or his senior or his concern department member. its been more than 15 days today and the problem is same, and i m really tired of calling customer care everyday from last 15 days, they have also generated my bill on 27th of february.

I lost my phone and hence the number. while applying for the sim card with the same number, I was asked to convert it from prepaid to postpaid. I have provided all the required documents along with a FIR copy. My application was cancelled and they demanded the re-submission of documents. This was followed by an enquiry by an airtel agent, who came to check the local address whereabouts. Inspite of all this, I again get a message saying my application has been cancelled. My dilemma is even though all the formalities were completed as required by the company, yet they fail to tend to the needs of the customer. While, there are so many out there possessing sim cards illegally and misusing the same.

Hi team,

I have activated hello tunes yesterday but not working today. So I called to 121 service but those people they are not caring on the services and made me wait for nearly 30 mins. The supervisors are not able to service properly

They are saying simply that i was not activated but yesterday i was charged nearly 60 rupee for this hello tune. The worst service I got from the airtel karnataka. I was a golden customer in andhra but here there is no response with the same number but portal I have changed.

If i was not supposed to get my hello tunes activated in 24 hrs then i will block this network and will got to another network. But i carry farward this to still more high levels.

So, pls treat the customers with care and by helping us properly. I hope you understand.

I had been using the number [protected] till the past 10 months. Now, the number has been reassigned without sending me any information regarding the same. The new user has gotten hold of my contacts through Whatsapp and is now sending obscene messages to my relatives. Airtel says that they cannot help me regarding this.

Dear executive head,
My airtel number is [protected].
Recently I recharged 200MB data pack.
Fortunately I couldn't use my data as it was stolen not only data MB but also my main balance of Rs. 50.
After complaining several times to customer care I got back my rupees but not the MB.
After that I wasn't calling to anyone and my balance was Rs 248.
Yesterday I made one call and checked my balance and found rs. 233.
I immediately called to customer care but they trying to convince me different way.
I am not satisfied at all.
They always steal by balance and now I hardly recharge instead of thousands I recharge with two hundred or fifty even.
Please stop stealing my balance.
Thanking you

Hi,

I've been using this number for quite a long time. Few days back when I checked my account balance, it was ₹213, and today I found it ₹49. I'm shocked seeing such a deduction, so I called customer care to check what is going on. They said it got deducted because I used internet without data package. But that is not possible because that sim is being used in a basic phone of Nokia which does not has internet facility. They gave me a number to verify this by calling 12181. When I called this number it says I've never used internet. I again calleg customer care but they are stuck on their point that it's deducted due to internet.

Please help.

Hi,

I took my new AIRTEL 4G connection from Nehru Place DSA [Agent : Nitesh] on 13th December, 2015. However, the number got activated after 1 week when I follow up this with the Airtel Store, South Ex Part I and Nitesh. Later on, when I tried to get the DOUBLE DATA OFFER as mentioned on my phone box cartoon [PFA the picture of the phone box], I came to know that I should have 4G data booster pack with myPlan, so I visited the South Ex Store once again and get my plan changed to ₹149 myPlan along with ₹450 2GB 4G DATA BOOSTER from ₹249 myPlan. My real ordeal starts from here, after regularly visiting the store till 06/01/2016, the issue was not solved completely. I wasn't able to use data on my phone since 28/12/15 and due to this I wasn't able to get the benefit of the DOUBLE DATA OFFER. Now whom should I blame - me as I believed in AIRTEL 4G or AIRTEL.

Let me help you with the timeline:
12/12/2015 – Visited the Nehru Place and purchase a new connection ([protected]), however, the executive didn’t have the SIM card so visited the next day again.
13/12/2015 – Shared documents and received the SIM card.
22/12/2015 – After waiting for almost one week and contacting Nitesh and South Ex store, finally, the connection gets activated on 22/12/2015.
27/12/2015 – I contacted the 198 and asked for the clarification in regards to the Double Data offer and got the detailed information.
28/12/2015 - I visited d South Ex store and request for changing my plan with a DOUBLE DATA OFFER compatible plan & store executive told me it would be completed in 4 hours, so I waited for the same.
29/12/2015 - Nothing happened and I patiently waited.
30/12/2015 - I called 198 and enquire about my plan change request but they told me there is no request and when I explain them they said they will reprocess my request and after sometime I send a text BP TO 121 and I got a reply with my new plan details but to my surprise I am not able to access DATA. I again called 198 and register my complaint and then waited for whole day
31/12/2015 - Again visited the store & the executive told me that he has send a mail to the backend and it will be resolved in next 4 hours...so I waited
01/01/2016 - Again contacted 198 & same response
02/01/2016 - Again contacted 198 & same response
03/01/2016 - Again contacted 198 & same response
04/01/2016 - Again contacted 198 & same response...so visited d south ex store and discuss this store specialist Anuj and he send a mail to back-end and ask me to contact him next day if the data issue is not resolved (which I appreciate as he took d ownership of the case)
05/01/2016 - So I called him on his phone and he said the issue is solved now and I just need to swap your SIM CARD which I did on d same day...Now data is working however I AM NOT GETTING 4G AT ALL EVEN IN PLACES WHERE I WAS GEETING IT WITH MY ORIGINAL PLAN
06/01/2016 – Again I requested for a new SIM card and get it activated.

Since then I am only getting 2G and sometime 3G.

Complaint numbers:
1) 67111987
2) 67028461
3) 67002024
4) 17984562

These are the complaint numbers which I noted and keep safe with me, however, you can get the record my contact with your Customer service.

I have also posted the complaint on your Facebook page, however, you people just doing nothing.
I WANT TO GET 4G AS WELL AS THE DOUBLE DATA OFFER AS I AM PAYING FOR THE SAME. APART FROM THIS I ALSO WANT THE FULL REVERSAL OF THE BILL CHARGED ON MY ACCOUNT DUE TO NON AVAILBILITY OF DATA SERVICE AS YOU CAN UDGE FROM MY USAGE.

I have already escalated this issue with your Nodal office on 27th January, 2016 but still the issue is being just dragged on since the starting of this connection.

I have patiently waited for the issue to get resolved and then on:

19/02/2016 – I dialled 198 and even spoken with one of your supervisor who promised that the tariff will be effective on your account correctly in next hours or by today midnight (00:00:00).

However, I patiently waited till Monday (22/02/2016) but the correct plan was not activated. So,

22/02/2016 – I again dialled 198 and spoken to another executive and she investigated the issue and confirmed me that two tariff was active on my account (₹299.00 [Initial Plan] and ₹599.00 [₹149.00 {New Plan} + ₹450.00 {2GB 4G Booster Pack}]) WHICH I ALREADY KNEW SINCE THE BEGINNING, and said that the issue will be resolved in next 72 hours or else the correct tariff will be effective from next bill cycle.

So, I waited to get the 72 hours window to get completed and then on

27/02/2016 – I again contacted the 198 and got the same response that the issue will be resolved in next 72 hours which now I am not ready to accept.

I WANT TO GET 4G AS WELL AS THE DOUBLE DATA OFFER FOR SIX MONTHS AS PER THE OFFER STARTING FROM NEXT BILL CYCLE SINCE I AM PAYING FOR THE SAME. APART FROM THIS I ALSO WANT THE FULL REVERSAL OF THE BILL CHARGED ON MY ACCOUNT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS CONNECTION DUE TO NON AVAILBILITY OF SERVICE AS YOU CAN GUDGE FROM MY USAGE.

If you wish to contact me then you can do that between 12:00 PM – 04:30 PM on any day.

Dear Sir,
Bharti Airtel has billing and data tracking frauds within the system and I have proof of the same.
My bill cycle is from 26th of every month and quota given to me is 35GB of data. On 24th Dec, I left for a vacation and returned on 29th Dec, all electricity connections were switched from main panel and on 27th morning Airtel sent me a mail saying that 80% of your data has been consumed, whereas my modem was switched off and I was on a vacation.
If you track the data consumption on a daily basis, it shows 67% data consumed in 6 hours which is impossible as per the byte transfer rate at 4MBPS speed.
Bharti basically do all this fraud to the customers and due to twicking in their systems of tracking data, they show it as exhausted and reduce the speed of the internet to 512 KBPS, customer is habitual of working in a high speed environment so they ask for urgrading smartbytes fro customer care. These customer care does not have authorization to upgrade or add more bytes since there is a OTP required to activate it, however these people will tell customers that after sometime your speed will become fast and they charge immediately on the next month bill.
Airtel is forcing customers like us to pay more by twicking the data consumption in their systems because they know the customer has a paying capacity upto Rs 2000 per month.

I am being harrassed by Airtel and have enough communication and data to prove them wrong and fraudulent. I have email communication with top Airtel officials who have conveniently ignored my issues and complaints.

I would request consumer complaint forum to take this complaint in public interest as many of the consumers are facing these data consumption issues in Delhi/NCR.

I am available on : [protected]@icloud.com and [protected]@me.com

I was unable to receive any sms apart for airtel.By this I was unable to get my OTP to pay my bills. I will get penalties for late payments. who's gonna take responsibility for this.Is it mself or the company.

Reference no. QBNRD[protected]

my phone no. is [protected]
my email is [protected]@gmail.com

i have contacted so many times via your email "121.[protected]@airtel.com" regarding this issue but i have not received any emails from your side .
once i got reply but it said me to ignore the message which i got from 121
Why should ignore the sms i received . if i got the sms from some unknown number i can ignore it but why should i ignore it if it came from 121 . you guys keep sending fake sms to customers and just tell them to ignore it.
Airtel keep doing it again and again and you guys cheat the customer and i intend to take this issue to the consumer fourm/cout if it is not sorted out .
as you can see in the below screenshot the first sms came on sunday 21/02/16 and the second came on Tuesday 23/02/16 and even after complaining about it in 198 on Thursday 25/2/16 the same day i got 2 same sms back to back, i don't know why you guys keeps doing it to me .
as you can see in the messages which i got it mentions 1495mb data packs has been activated on my mobile no. but i didn't get any data balance as said in the sms.
As you can see in the screenshot i got 4 different sms about i was credited 1495 mb which i didn't actually get as airtel cheated me.
I request to credit the mentioned data in sms and i shouldn't receive any more sms like this in the future.
you guys have spoiled my peace of mind and my time and i never got proper replies when i mailed to "121.[protected]@airtel.com" and even called 121, 198. they just say we'll contact you within 24hrs and they don't
i have enough proofs to proceed to consumer court if this issue is not settled by crediting the data.

I recharged my Airtel number with rs19 to make local call 30p/ min and std call 1p/sec. But after autorenewal of this pack my local call rates r not working for 30 p/ min. Plz help me in this .

I have a airtel post paid sbi cug no [protected]. I have sent so many mail to airtel company regarding duplicate bill by corporate e mail id but the company not provide duplicate bill till today even i have paid all due amount.

This is regarding the multiple MNP & CUG corporate connections for my hospital, where airtel has failed to do so couple number of times in the past and the story continues since first week of January and now it is almost 2 months where airtel has failed to provide me with the new connections. this is simply unfair for the customer to bear the loss & the mental harassment caused to me by repetitively asking for the same thing again and again & even providing the port codes many number of times to the company since almost 2 months.
hence request from airtel to please revert back with an immediate answer.

My airtel prepaid no. is [protected]. Of late my calls are not getting connected properly as well as my call receiver is complaining about lack of clarity in the voice. I checked with service centre for any hardware issues, but there are none. Call clarity is not there because of improper bandwidth. Since airtel launched 4G with pomp, call quality got effected. Please help resolve this issue for better service.
