      I wanted to share the experience regarding the Airtel network, they have cheated for me during number port.

      My Number [protected] was Vodafone and I got the call one day from the Airtel executive the name of the person is Swati ([protected]), she told me the postpaid plan, which means Airtel providing 299 plan life time if I will port from Voda to Airtel.

      I trusted her and raised the port request from Voda and after porting I am getting many issues like the plan which she has offered to me that is 399 while she told 299, and when I called her so she told me she will not receive my file at yet.

      Even I called multiple times in airtel customer executive so he suggested I to drop the email to this email id- [protected]@in.airtel.com, I have dropped but not getting the response so far.

      I want to raise the complaint regarding the Airtel network they lying to me, they have done fake promises, and they break my trust.

      I am sharing the email screenshots.

      Please help me here to get same plan what Airtel has promised.

        Airtel has been spamming my mobile number with pack reminder messages and incorrect SMS saying my pack has expired even after reneweing pack.

        They are misusing SMS service.
        Inspite of fully registered under DND, airtel itself is spamming.
        Multiple reminders for pack renewals, pack expiry etc
        one SMS one can understand.

        Messages received from nay headers like AX-ARWINF, AX-Airtel, AX-AIRGSF

        This is about mobile number [protected]

        SMS service is being misused by AIRTEL

        AX-ARWINF ID is and many other listed in original complaint are being misused by airtel

        What is the action takem

        Please stop all SMS for pack renewals, expiry, any information messages
        I want to opt out of your so called service that is being misused and creating nuisance for customers

        We know when packs are due for renewal, expiry, offers etc...if one does wnat these SMS, just honor their request. Number has been in full DND for many years

        one can check when one wants...AIRTEL's constant spamming with SMS should be stopped at all cost immediately.
        This still continues
        In spite of active pack, sms being sent from AX-ARWINF saying pack has expired.
        SMS service is being misused for wrong purpose.

        I do not need any reminders from airtel at all for any packs, offers, pack due for renewal or expired.
        Allow me to opt of this...u are really creating a nuisance and pl stop that
        Spam from airtel IDs continues...AX-ARWINF, AIRTEL sms ids
        no action taken and spam does not stop
        Why is airtel bombarding customers with so many SMS for pack validity and renewals
        This is sheer misuse and must stop
        Please opt me out of this SMS reminders for pack validity and stop SMS asap

                        Hi,

                        This is to escalate my issue regarding the plan change resulting in an increase of the monthly bill.

                        I have been on the Family 799 plan for quite some time now without any issue. However, on 11th Aug, my plan was automatically changed to 999 plan without my consent. No prior consent via SMS or email was requested from me as well. While raising this request through the app on 13th and 20th Sep, ticket id[protected] and[protected] respectively, no resolution was given and the requests were automatically closed with no proper explanation.

                        On 25th Sep, I called 198 and was informed that I will receive a call back within 24hrs. This did not happen. I called 198 again on 28th Sep and explained my situation in detail to Sarthak Bakshi (Senior Supervisor) and Abhishek Thakur. However, Sarthak has a very arrogant attitude with no real intention of resolving this issue when I requested for adjustment of excess charge since I have not received any notification via SMS or email even though it shows up in the Airtel system as being sent to me.

                        I am not sure who and why, but the 799 plan was deactivated which was working perfectly fine for me. In addition, I have been forced to switch to the 999 plan without any proper added benefits over the previous plan which seems more like bullying. I understand that I cannot be switched back to the old plan. What I am hoping for is an adjustment for Rs 236 (inclusive of GST) for a loyal customer such that I am still paying the old amount that I have been paying so far.

                        I have always enjoyed Airtel service and hope that this issue will not dent our long relationship in any way. Looking forward to your prompt and positive response.

                        Best Regards,
                        Ankith Rana

                              Airtel DTH Connection: [protected]
                              I have installed Airtel DTH with Broadband connection on 27th Aug '21 and it's said it's obsoletely free for 1month and you can change the plan anytime, based on that commitment I made DTH to Prepaid connection on 25th Sep'21 and un bundle the plan. Now I'm seeing Negative balance as -rs.631.17 and customer care not waving off this money. If I need to continue I need to pay rs.631.17 to become a null balance and need to pay again top up money to continue service.
