I am using a connection [protected] however this has happened with me for the second time, first time they accepted their wrongdoing and waived that amount but this month again they have charged Rs. 2589(inclusive taxes) extra for International Calling in multiple countries and the irony is I have no one to call to Internationally and never made these calls to multiple countries. Also even if I had to call someday internationally i would rather use watsapp calling as I am not that naive to make normal calls, same thing when I told to CC executives he was so adamant that you have made the calls told him exact what I have mentioned above but not sure how he was trained to talk to customers in such a tone when I asked to connect to his supervisor his response was there is no Supervisor, Do you think your customers are illiterate to make these mistakes and just to tell Airtel here I myself have worked Vodafone for 3 years and I know these things well so why would I make such a call and to repeat myself I have no one to talk to Internationally now the due date is nearing and you are going to suspend my services but if that happened I'll make sure to PORT out as many numbers as I can out of Airtel and please don't consider this as a threat rather than frustration from a normal middle class member of the society who works day and night to feed his family not to pay you guys for the services never being used

    Why should I pay for new set top box ?
    I have already changed it multiple time.
    These boxes are so vulnerable that every rainy season they stops working.
    I am tired of this company Airtel.
    Can I get all my money back ?
    I don't want to continue with Airtel.
    This company will sink itself one day.

      Dear Sir/Madam,

      Telecom operators are not allowing outgoing SMS for Mobile Number Portability on various reasons. Especially for pre-paid customers, they are all not allowing SMS ever when the prepaid balance is available, even validity of prepaid amount exists..

      Operators telling that customers have to recharge their monthly pack before sending PORT.

      In view of this, requesting you to give the facility to send SMS to 1900 when the validity period has not expired.

        I am using Airtel Broadband for past 5 year. Last 1 year I have very slow internet connection and frequent disconnection. I have made many complaints regarding this. But the fix they provide is very temporary. I am facing the same issue again and again. Even I have asked to migrate my plan to fiber. For that request also Airtel Says that they don't have fiber connection in my area(HSR Layout Sector 2). But I see many poster regarding Airtel Fiber plan in my area. I don't know what to do.

                What is wrong with airtel network in kohima, Nagaland ? Company is giving good updates on this and that offers on internet and monthly talktime packs but what is the use of that when the company cant offer us a legimate calling network and internet speed ? If any Official members of the company are seeing this, please know this that the consumers(public) are ready to even pay extra money for a good calling experience and good internet speed and please know this that we are not interested in your funny Ads, or eye catching offers or which are useless if the network and internet speed is slow...The company has one job to do and that is to provide a good network for the consumers in case the company forgets what they are all about ...
                Stop robbing us of our money and fix this issue !!!

                Yes! The public, association or group should start taking up force or make a movement for this because being lenient to them only takes advantage o[censored]s..

                            I have been using Airtel infinity 299 plan and this month the company sent me a bill with changed plan. I have not consented to change my plan from infinity299 to infinity349. Upon calling the customer care, they informed me that the company has withdrawn the 299 plan. The company is indirectly forcing and harrassing the customers to automatically switch to another plan without their consent. Why should I be forced to pay Rs 50/- extra?
