Dear Sir/Madam, Please note the following:- 1. That, I had opted "Value Prime" Pack at the time of buying Airtel Digital TV set top box in 2012. 2. That, I used to recharge every month as if I were using "value prime" pack without knowing the fact that you have upgraded/changed my opted pack to a higher rental pack without my consent/subscription. 3. After checking the tariffs from your website I got to know that I am being charged for the "Economy sports pack" instead of "Value Prime" and i send a message on your number[protected] on 02 June 2015 and i got a reply message that Airtel Digitial Tv will contact me soon. (This was the procedure to change the pack as per your website) 4. That, after passing several months, neither my pack was changed nor anybody from Airtel digital TV contacted me. 5. I again send the same message on 19 Nov. 2015 and to my surprise, this time too, I did not get any response from your side. 6. On 19 Nov. 2015, I recharged my TV account for value prime pack with Rs.253/- but your company still continued to charge me higher rentals. 7. On 6 Dec. 2015, I again send a message on your IVRS number to change my pack to Value prime pack but nobody contacted me. Then, after all these irritating things i was forced to write you and on receipt of my mail, your official contacted me and informed me that my pack is being changed which was originally subscribed by me at the time of purchase of digital TV in the year 2012. As per your mail, your company is ready to credit Rs. 350/- as goodwill gesture to my digital tv account which is an another kind of mental harassment because the rental difference between value prime pack and economy sport pack (which you have imposed on me at your will without my consent) per month is more than Rs. 100/- and i have been paying higher rentals for more than one year (i exactly don't know when you started cheating me). Moreover, to my greatest surprise, after knowing all the facts about my case, your company has stopped my digital TV services due to non payment...!!! Your company, instead of refunding my actual money with apology, resorted to suspend my digital TV service stating low balance whereas i had paid thousands of rupees in excess of the rentals of actually subscribed pack i.e. Value prime. I have kept the necessary records of the messages which i had sent to change the pack and the same will be produced in the suitable court of law as "Evidence" in case my complaints are not resolved by you. In light of the above facts, I want the following remedies:- 1. Refund of my entire money with interest which I had paid in excess of the value prime pack till date with apology. 2. Resume my digital service with immediate effect. In case of non resolution of the above remedies, you will be challenged in the District/State consumer forum at your own cost with suitable compensation for mental harassment.

He also gave me a his senior number called Rahul Sharm[protected], But i recognised this is fake call, There was children crying noise was coming from behind and that guy was not looking confident, When i asked that Lottery name then he started to feel uncomfortable. Lastly i said I don't need your 25 lkh and then he suddenly cut the phone.

It all started with our decision switch to Airtel 4G using MNP facility from Vodafone (Mumbai) to Airtel (Mumbai). We went for a family plan, with my number s the primary one. The process started on 26/11/2015 through the Airtel site. Promptly a call came detailing the offers and we took an appointment with their representative for the subsequent Saturday i.e. 29/11/2015. During the appointment we gave all the necessary documents and received the sim cards for our new connections. We were told that upon the completion of porting, the sim cards will be ready for use without any delay. Post the meeting we received no update during the first week, we called up their customer care during the weekend and received a response that the request in under process. However we didn’t receive any update in the second week as well. By now basis the experience we decided it was better to continue with Vodafone. Then all of a sudden on 16/11/2015 we received a message that “The porting request validated and accepted. Porting time 16/12/2015, 23.30.00.” My number got ported out of Vodafone at that time and as instructed we tried to activate the Airtel sim that was provided but the sim failed to register on the network. When we enquired with the customer care on 17/12/2015, we were advised that the connection is active. I was further advised to visit the nearby Airtel store. When we visited the store we were curtly told by the representatives there that they have done the porting to a wrong sim no which again made me regret my decision to port out. We were told that they have registered the complaint & that the matter will be resolved in 24 hours. When we received no update, we again called the customer care the first call was disconnected or I suspect that they hung up. On the second call I repeated the entire episode to the person right from the beginning and after checking I was told that the porting will be done only by 22/12/2015. We started the process when the Vodafone billing cycle was about to end (ie 26th of every month). This process of porting took the entire cycle period. We also were asked to remit the outstanding payment which we did. Now for no fault of ours and solely because Airtel negligently activated the wrong sim, my number for last 7 years is not active. This has caused major inconvenience to me especially since this was the number that all my associates and family know of. If Airtel had invested at least a fourth of the amount that they spent on marketing, in their services division, people like me didn’t have to write long mails like this. Now I’m waiting for the 90 days to end so that I can switch back to Vodafone (not that Vodafone service is anything great, but between the two, Vodafone fares much better). Hate the Airtel experience from the beginning on account of the non-professional behaviour of their customer care. Lack of investments in proper sales and service force can destroy this company in the long run. The sooner they realise it, the better.

Dear sir/medam i would be highly greatful to you i[censored] provide me the details of incoming and outgoing calls for my airtel prepaid no.[protected], on my email id mentioned above. thanking you regards Ripan Das Chowdhury

I had raised a port out request for mobile no [protected] from Airtel on 4th-Dec-2015, Porting id is AZ622622. I recieved a verification call from Airtel relationship team during which I clearly told them that I want to Port out this no. On 12th December, I recieved a message from new operator that this request has been rejected by Airtel with rejection reason as contractual obligations, declined by donor. On 14th Decmeber, I went to Airtel gallary in Pune Wanowrie Area to check the reason for rejection & I was asked to call 121 from my mobile & raise a request for the same. They said they can't check this in system from their side. On 15th December, I called Airtel customer care at 121 & raised a ticket to know the rejection reason for Port out request. Ticket no is 66731733. On 15th December, I received a call back from Airtel & I was told that the port out request is not rejected from Airtel side. It is cleared from Airtel side. Based on this confirmation, I asked the new operator to resubmit the request on 15th December. On 18th December, I have received intimation from new operator that Port out request is again rejected by Donor. Reason is same 'Declined by donor'. I called customer care at 121 & was told that they can't raise a complaint for same. Now they have left me 2 choices 1) Either stop paying my bills since they are forcing me to use their services 2)File a case a consumer court. Nearest consumer court to my place is Bibewadi Area, Pune . Cost Rs 2000 including lawyer fees & waste of precious time is 2 days. Airtel executive who handled my ticket is Monisha DS. Also note:- 1) My number has been on Airtel for more than 4 months. Legal requirement is 3 months. 2) I have made a payment of RS. 800 more than my outstanding/due amount to ensure that request does not get rejected. Rahul Bhojwani Mobile No [protected]

I recharged my no [protected] for full talktime of rs 66 by paytm..i didnt receive any balance and i m not able to make outgoing calls.later i received a message that the amount was credited in dedicated account..i need my money to my regular account..

I had set credit limit as Rs. 500/- but I received bill amount as Rs. 659.57, so I have not paid my bill amount, I have also verified with customer support but didn't received clear information on that. But they have deducted bill amount via ECS (I am not sure how they did it) but I have activated ECS mode for Airtel broadband, I think using that they would deducted. I am chasing them for the post one week but could not get any resolution and so posting the complaints here. So please do not opt for ECS mode of payments then you wont have payment control with you.

Vide email dated November 16, 2015 I was given a confirmation that my mobile plan will shift to Corporate Plan w.e.f November 23, 2015(Start of billing Cycle). On December 08, 2015 I noticed that my plan was not changed to Corporate Plan. I wrote a email to company that I was assured that my plan would change to corporate plan w.e.f November 23, 2015 and still it was not changed by the company. I requested them to make corporate plan effective from November 23, 2015 ( as they confirmed by their email dated November 16, 2015) Company in response by their email dated December 15, 2015 stated that corporate plan will be effective from December 24, 2015. this is real fraud, they assured me that corporate plan will be effective from November 23, 2015 and now they are giving effective date of December 24, 2015. I have written several email, still they are not confirming the fact that I am shifted to corporate plan w.e.f November 23, 2015.
