      Dear Sir, My Airtel mobile no is [protected]. I am tremendous worried and disgusted on airtel. Suddenly I have been notified via sms for activation of game on the very same day I called your customer care for deactivation of the same because I have never opted these services next day again I had received the SMS I again called your Customer care they have appolised and told that no VAS services activated on your mobile and no charges will be levied to you please ignore the sms but in my current bill 99 Rs has been charged for VAS services while I have never given as TRAI had directed telecom operators to obtain explicit consent of consumers "through consumer originated SMS or e-mail or FAX or in writing within 24 hrs of activation of the value added service and charge the consumer only if confirmation is received from him". If you have any permission from my side please let me know My question is why Airtel is doing this kind of cheating. I am completely disgusted on Airtel. Please waive off the amount as soon as possible else I shall take the matter to TRAI. Regards Rastogi

        I have my small basic mobile (not smart or android) chennai based number [protected] . I was havving my 2G connection and today in Bangalore in a roadside shop recharged it further for Rs 201/- expecting the balance to go to Rs 300 + . But to my horror it shows a very small balance talk time Rs. 82.99. PF RS177.88 ( I do not know what PF is ) Talk time Rs 1.00. What is all this ? another message says that 3G is activared. Who wanted 3G? I never wanted 3G. I want to remain in 2G only. I thought the balance would be above 300= If this is the way airtel loots poor customers like me, I better not have a mobile and shall be happy with a BSNL landline only. Make it urgent and restore my money of Rs 300+ from airtel K.S.Srinivasan

            Hi, My sim still not got activated inspite of repeated followups and chasing. Its been more than 4 days and it still isn't activated. The assurance from the airtel person to get this activated before 5pm today also failed. I never thought that airtel will have such worst customer service and the customer has to run from pillar to post to get one connection activated. This is very disappointing and frustrating and the service levels are pathetic to say the least. It would have been better on my part to go ahead with vodafone with whom I have a good relationship. The service levels and the kind of response received from the Airtel staff will be shared with other members on the social media platform so that other customers do not fall to the cheap tricks and tall promises claimed by big companies. Regards Prakash

              I had an internet balance of over 1.5 GB and a balance of around Rs 190. But airtell deducted it all from my account without any so usage or any thing. This is a big shame for such a big company. U cannot keep your customers happy. There is no point in making false claims of giving best service to your customers when you cant even keep them with you and help them out. I hav been severly hit by financial blow from your side. You people took my over 1.5 GB data and around 190 Rs balance. I feel so cheated by airtell. Please see if you can help me now by returning the same.I tried a lot to reach your customer service support but all in vain.

                      Hi sir /madam I am a prepaid customer of Airtel from 2010 from Chennai . Recently I had a bad experience with Airtel as when I was trying to recharge an amount of Rs.201 thru airtel money (remaining balance of airtel money) I was surprisingly got a message that the amount not credited to my main account instead some Internet plan activated . When I reached customer care i got a responds that its an offer got activated with my number which is a different state plan ...And the plan is for Rs.201 3G activates for 2 days ..which is just absolutely a cheating ... request a resolution to credit the amount to my account either extend the validity .(Iam using a plan Rs-197 for which 1GB 3G for 28 days )... looking for a resolution thanks ...

                        I have been trying to port this mobile number 92XXXXXXX576 from Tata Docomo to Airtel since April 2nd. After several visits to nearby airtel showroom and few calls to customer care, the number was ported out of docomo network but still there is no Airtel signal in the mobile and the airtel executives are asking us to "just wait". Its been a week since number was ported out but don't know why its taking so long for Airtel to provide service. The calls on the docomo mobile are also cut off and right now we are left with no mobile service at all in that number.
