I have replaced my normal SIM with Micro SIM due to my new handset requirement on[protected] at Edayarpalayam pirivu, Airtel Relationship Center, Coimbatore. I have submitted all the required documents . However, till now[protected] my microSIM was not activated. I have called customer care more than seven times and visited the same Airtel Relationship Center(Edayarpalayam pirivu, Coimbatore) Two times ). While taking that sim that showroom girl said sim will activated within 4 hours. But till now no response.

I took a post paid connection [protected] and the physical verification failed since I was supposed to travel outstation for an urgent matter for a duration of 4 days. I called up airtel toll free number and informed the same before I left. [protected] is activated on 29th April. Suspended on 2nd May I was asked to go to relationship center to resubmit Documents and I was not in a position to do it. Airtel executive advised to go for a new connection and to use the same dongle and I took a new connection again from airtel [protected]. I spoke to customer care executive on 13th of May when I got a bill for [protected] he said it will be waived off, To make sure things fall in place, I also have sent a mail to [protected]@in.airtel.com "I have received a bill for this number [protected] which was suspended since the physical verification failed since I was supposed to travel outstation for an urgent matter for a duration of 4 days I never used this connection. I spoke to your customer care executive just now and he said the bill is waived off and not required to be paid . Please make sure your system is updated with the same " Airtel never informed me I am supposed to pay the bill. Never corrected the wrong understanding provided by customer care executive. There was no replay from Airtel for the mail other than an auto acknowledgement, On 9th of June I received a mail from Airtel stating "This is to bring to your notice that an amount of Rs 831.47 is overdue for payment for the mobile services availed from Bharti Airtel Limited [BAL] towards mobile no. [protected], account no. [protected]. We are not in receipt of the said amount, despite sending several reminders through telephone, SMS & personal visits. The non-payment amounts to violation of the terms and conditions of the Customer Application Form [CAF] which forms a legally enforceable agreement between you and BAL." I spoke to airtel customer care executive today on 10th of June and to his supervisor (he said so) and they were not even ready to admit it was a mistake not to replay to my mail. Now I am forced to pay the bill and I am forced to go to relationship center to pay the bill. More over I am Insulted telling a non payer of bills.

I, Sumit Grover, recharged my no. [protected], on 9th June’15, Tuesday, through Airtel application downloaded on my mobile. The recharge amount was Rs. 176/- wherein provision of 1GB 2G data was reflected for 28 days and the same was also reflected as successful in “recharge history” in the said application as well(screenshot enclosed herewith). However, when I received the contradictory SMS for confirmation of recharge(screenshot enclosed herewith), I was amazed to see that my account been credited with only 700MB, instead of 1GB as offered and that too for only 21days, as against proposed 28 days. Thereafter, I contacted the customer care executive, ref. no. being CBNRD[protected], dated 10th June’15, and I was told by Mr. Akhil, the concerned personnel, that though he agrees that the services should have been provided for 28 days with 1GB 2G data, however, the Airtel has revised its tariff rates just a few days ago, but the mobile application displays the erstwhile tariffs and they are trying to resolve such kind of errors. Nevertheless he insisted that I was supposed to be credited only 700MB 2G data for 21days. In the absence of convincing reply by the customer executive, I lodged a grievance to the Nodal officer of Delhi Region of Airtel, vide mail dated 10th June’15, briefing him about the issue involved in the instant case. On 10th June’15 itself, I received a revert mail from the Nodal officer addressed by Mr. Karan Sawhney, wherein the documents (i.e. screenshots) enclosed by me in the original mail were overlooked and the contention as stated by the customer executive were reiterated and it was mentioned in the revert mail that as per revised tariff plans, the credit of 700MB 2G data for 21 days is correct. However, no convincing reason was given as to how it amounts to price revision in the instant case, since the mobile application shows successful recharge for 1GB data for 28days. Hence I require you to register my complaint & redress thereto. post issuance of the docket reference number.

we talked with customer care but he told that he unable deactivate the package because this is company's policy. But I dont know how the company activate the packages without customer preference whether he willing to avail the package or not. This is very irregular in point of customer view. Customer must know what package he prefers.

I have had my prepaid airtel mobile since 2010. I have rarely used it for public or business purposes. I am also a very private person. Since, the past one year, I have been getting calls and messages on this phone number from unknown people and unknown businessmen and telemarketers. None of them are willing to disclose how they are getting my number which is not available publicly or in the phone directories. i think someone in the company is selling our personal information and contact details from the KYC norms forms that they collect. Some of the callers are even aware of the banking and insurance details of the customer probably by data mining from the PAN numbers in the form.

This email is regarding the refund that i was supposed to get by 5/62015 of a broadband connection that had been rejected due to some faulty cable or whatever. The application number is TBLR6971591. I have applied for a connection two months back and it took around a month for you to tell me that the connection cannot be provided. Due to this i was supposed to get a refund of Rs 1000 that i paid as an installation fee. I have been calling the customer care number but nobody is picking up. I'm not at all aware of the status of the refund. I'm asking you to take necessary action and kindly refund me back my money. I'm really frustrated and disappointed at Airtel. You have wasted my time and consumed a lot of my enegy.. A company of your reputation should have some responsibility towards a customer. Anyways I'm requesting you to kindly refund me my money ASAP. Regards, Amlan Jyoti Baruah.

On 9th June 2015 I got my airtel recharged with Rs 192 for 1 GB 3G data. I also got erecharge succesful confirmation mesaage from airtel stating that your number has been successfully recharged with Rs 192, Benefits - 1 GB 3G data for 21 days. But when I switched on and switched off my mobile data to check the available 3G balance it was 524 sumthing MB data only. I called up customer support to complain but they refused to file the complaint saying that the plans have been changed. If the company's plans are changed then why the hell they are sending out recharge successful messages for 1GB data instead of 524 etc.. I had spoken to Mr Rakesh Kumar with reference no. - [protected]

I have so many grudges with the airtel for past 2-3 months but this time all the height which has got crossed. I have called customer care on 20th may 2015 night to Activate my International Roaming, they have told me that its the 999 plan so, i told them to activate it. i received the message same night about the conformation and same night my phone network goes. i called customer care again and again from other numbers regarding the problem I have been facing but they replied me that ur request is pending and ur no will be activated in 4 to 24 hours. but all in vain. my family members, who are in India, remained in touch with customer care(CC) about the problem and every time they assured them that it will start working in 2-3 hours. even after reaching abroad my phone doesnt picks network and problem persists. on 26th evening when i landed in india my phone doesnt picks network, i called CC notified the problem that said because of international roaming pending request it has not been working, they cancelled the request and after 1-2 hours my phone starts working. after repeated attempts made by me by contacting CC and going to ur airtel office in my city and noting my complaint regarding the bill of Rs.999 which is pasted along with my bill, for which ur organisation have not provided me services. i have personally contacted CC many time some says that it was pending, some says it has been activated and some says that CC executive make a mistake that 999 is a pack to make calls in International Roaming cheaper. he has to first activate pack of Rs 149 to pick up network outside India. now my question arises that, 1) where is my mistake.. 2) I havent used any o[censored]r the service during International Roaming neither u provided me. 3) infact for those 6 days, for which my phone doesnt picks network, my monthly rental and data pack rental for 6 days needs to be waived off morally and ethically along with Rs. 999. 4) Ni-ether my requested call with seniors have been arranged even after repeated attempts since last one week. now ur good self is requested to waive off my Rs. 999 from my monthly bill along side 6 days rental and email me my new bill as early as possible as i will not be responsible for ur late payment charges, as i will not be paying up my bill till the matter get resolved. in wait of of a justice from ur end as i have got harassed many a times. not only the harassment, but amount of time i am wasting in contacting CC and writing these mails is not possible for me all days. this is type o[censored]nprofessional behavior from a company of such repute is neither acceptable and nor expected. so i am waiting for a quick and positive reply from ur end else i will be forced to shut all my numbers with airtel and forced to sue a case in Consumer affairs and lodge a complaint with TRAI, and CCI. and i will be forced to go to media and social to open a protest against the ur company. my last suggestion to ur company is that kindly recruit those CC Representative who knows something or train them fully before they are behind the desk to help anyone, so that persons like me can be avoided of any such harassment. this is my last mail and next time i will be writing it directly to Telecom Secretary and telecom minister, Prime minister, PMO and TRAI also...
