Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi My name is Paul Kollanoor Ittoopunny, Back-ground: 1. As a new customer I applied through online for a new Broad-band connection with Airtel on 19-Feb-2015 to the below address Paul Kollanoor Ittoopunny, No: 003, Sai Tranquil, Ground Floor, 4th C Main, Behind Domino's Pizza, OMBR Layout Bangalore 560043. 2. There is no call back from Airtel for 2 days and I called up the Airtel customer centre and informed the case. One lady requested me to submit the Physical Application along with 1000 Rs as cash on a condition that the Online application amount would be completely refunded. Next day a sales guy named Bhaskar (Phone: +91-[protected]) came to my office and collected the documents (My Sale Deed, and PAN card copy), filled application form and 1100Rs. While submitting the application from I made sure with Bhaskar about my requirements as 16Mbps speed is needed. He checked with the back-end team and confirmed that 8Mbps is only feasible and assured. I compromised and applied 8Mbps/60GB scheme as 1399Rs Package on 23-Feb-2015 on a condition that if 8Mbps is not possible I don't need the connection. Because of specific work related requirement which I can't compromise further. 3. After 2 days 25-Feb-2015, 2 technicians came to my apartment (same above address mentioned) and provided the connection as 4MBps speed and 40GB plan as 1349Rs per month. As and when the technician showed me the data speed is 4 Mbps and I denied the connection at my premise and asked him the status. He said my plan is changed from the Airtel end as 4Mbps/1349Rs plan without my knowledge. I clearly informed, I don't need the connection and dismantle the connection immediately. 4. I raised complaint through multiple times over e-mail, call to the customer service numbers, apellate authority etc... all my requests have been ignored till date. I never ever used any Airtel service till now. I considered I'm cheated by Airtel without promising my request and changed my speed and plan according to Airtel's wish. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE as a customer. 5. I'm attached a Bill generated today to my e-mail account with my OLD Address. I don't understand on what basis you provide connection, as per your wish or customer's request? Who will pay for all these non-sense bills? How many times a customer has to request for the cancellation? Even the installation itself not completed how can you charge a customer for the usage and bill? Who accepted the wireline connection is working at my premise? Why should I pay for the connection which is not acceptable to me? 6. I never heard anything about my refund of the entire amount I shelled out till date as a). Online application : 1000 Rs b). Physical Application: 1100 Rs Total 2100 Rs. 7. What is the status of my Cancellation request and Refund request ? 8. I'm not going to Pay the Bill by any chance.

Hi Paul,

Airtel are 100% cheaters, they only know how to make money and fool out of their customers.

I have been in same situation, don't give up on them and fight back.

All the best,
Ramesh

        I have recharged with an amount of RS-152 for 1 GB 3G data to my Airtel no [protected] but had received an Extra Benefit from airtel as i received a message from airtel regarding the same as a special offer. But while calling to customer care they say that there is no such offer for me and they are just loging a complain but not taking a necessary action. As they are sending a fake message from Airtel to fool the subscriber to our hard earned money. Please escalate it to higher priority and take strict action. Also look after my issue.

          I am using airtel mobile no. [protected] from last 4 years with regular recharges but validity of this SIM expired on 08/03/2015. I called the Airtel customer care about 15 times but got no proper solution.Customer care executives told me to contact the Airtel Relationship Center(ARC). ARC person issued me a duplicate SIM. But same problem exists in the duplicate SIM. Due to this I am not able to attend and make important calls from last two days. I am very much annoyed with Airtel customer care services It is my humble request to you to get my problem solved as soon as possible..

I want a justified answer rather than vague comments. I hope there could be some solution for all this

                      Hi, I got a call from [protected] on my mobile phone at about 1530 hours today. A lady wanted to know why I haven't paid my pending bill. I requested the lady to send me a full and final bill which i could pay. She was rude and insisted on having a verbal duel with me. I asked her to hang up but she refused, eventually I disconnected. After that I got over 15 calls from the same number that i kept disconnecting. Is this a banana republic ???

                        Dear Sir, I use airtel service (mobile no. [protected]) for mobile communication and for 3G data. On 9th of march, I had around 220 rs in my mobile main balance and around 44 MB data for 3G internet. But, within 10 minutes, My account balance came down to 0.79 rs and had 44 MB data for 3G. They deducted internet charges from my main balance while I had 44 MBs left in my account. I had filed a complaint to customer care. Its number is CBDMO[protected]. At first glance, customer care assured me to return the money by 10th of march. but today I got a call from customer care saying that your money from the main account has been deducted for internet uses. Today on 10th march, i still have 16 MBs (FOR PROOF A PHOTO IS UPLOADED) in my account for internet uses, and they deducted internet charges from my main balance yesterday. Sir, they should not cut internet charges from my main account until i have internet data in my account. It is clearly written in their policies that main account balance will be used only after main internet balance is zero. Sir, these companies cheat the consumer like that. Only Indian law can stop them doing this. Please help me to get my balance. I have wasted more money and time to call customer care. Please fine charges to these companies so that they could not repeat and cheat the customer. Applicant Sandeep Kumar Bansal Mobile No. [protected] Lucknow

                        Dear Sir,

                        I am a regular and long time customer of Airtel. On 28 march, 300 rs were deducted from my main account balance. When I talked to customer care, it was she who denied to note down the complaint. She replied my balance has been deducted for internet data usage. Sir, I had 7 MB (ATTACHED A PICTURE FOR PROOF) of data in my internet data account but they deducted money from my main balance. Please sir help me to get my balance back. I registered a complaint online but they didnot contact me. Complaint number is PR[protected].Please help me sir.

                          My postpaid connection (No [protected]) stopped working (Unable to register on network error) on 06-Mar in the afternoon. I was told my customer support that the connection status was fine in their systems and hence this was a SIM card issue. However, when I went to an Airtel store for SIM swap, I was told that the SIM is fine and that it was a 'backend' issue, for which the store manager emailed the necessary team for actioning. Since the problem was not resolved even by 7pm on 07-Mar, I walked in again to an Airtel store and did a SIM swap after submitting all necessary documents and the application request (Order no[protected]. I received a confirmation email from [protected]@in.airtel.com the same day confirming that the order for SIM swap will be processed and activated within 4 hours. This never happened and I have made 3 visits to the store and over 25 calls to Airtel customer support between then and 10-Mar. I've been told that this is a 'backend' issue and the technical team are onto this, but I have never got an ETA which should be a standard associated with any service request or complaint. Being a Platinum customer, I am apalled at the huge delay and lack of transparency in which this is being handled. I'd like an email dropped to [protected]@gmail.com or a call back to[protected] to inform me of the status and ETA. I'm contemplating opting for another network for my primary connection.

                                This complain is regarding to one of your agent brijesh contact number[protected]. My company contacted airtel for corporate number and this guy came to our office and gave us different plans and he told me about some RA199 plan and told me that i will be getting 900mins of local+national+roaming with 300 free messages and unlimited 2g data every month with a monthly rental of 199 rupees and he even charged me Rs1200 saying its a one time payment for this plan. I attached the copy of the plan in which he was telling me about the plans and if needed i have the video recordings also. Since the last 2 months the BILLED AMOUNT is much higher than according to the plan we agreed upon. I called your agent severl number of times in the last 2months to complain about the same and all he said to sort this out was "me dekhta hu" but DID NOT do anything yet. He is not even picking up my calls now and i m highly disappointed by such kind of behaviour from your side and now i m filling a case in consumer forum and also i m not going to pay even a single penny for my this month bill.

                                  Dear Sir / Madam, I am a registered Airtel digital TV subscriber and my mobile number attached to it is [protected]. I understand that Airtel TV is facing issues for the past 2 days. But still today I am waiting patiently speaking to their executives and following up the situation. But today when I tried to call the executives as the problem still exists, the response I got is very bad and with no proper reason the executive is demanding money to rectify the issue. When I asked the reference number, she tried to put the call on hold and tried to avoid. Only after waiting for long time, I was forwarded to 2 other persons and finally the escalation team, where I got the reference number. Reference number / Call interaction id :[protected]. Executive name : Renu Singh Escalation team : Aditya I am very much unhappy with this kind of behavior given by Airtel. Kindly help me in this regard. Thanks Chandramohan D

                                    On 5th march 2015 I had sms from costumer care of airtel suggesting me to recharge with amount of 77 for 1 GB of 2G data for 28 days, So I had made online recharge by using recharge portal FREECHARGE on 6th march 2015, Immediately I got 100MB of data and my Internet was working fine, But after 2 days when 100MB data get finished I didn't get the remaining data. I had made 5 calls to the costumer care but they said that we will never give you neither data nor your money back. They had disconnected my call without resolving my queries. The executive named ANJU is on the conversation with me and she is talking in very bad manner. After that I had again called to costumer care then she kept receiver at side without talking anything, Then one of senior supervisor picked up the receiver and told that I will get the call from company for resolving my query but I didn't got any call from company. Not even My money back. So please advise what to do now as I am costumer of airtel from last 6 to 7 years. They have to think before creating this inconvenience. My Mobile number is [protected]

                                      Dear Sir, I have bought a 3G sim for my data card and also had a prepaid connection on the same sim to use it on my mobile when I am not using the Data card. To my surprise, when I made the first call to one of my relatives, they received the call as if it is from "Pravna Bharath"! When they heard my voice they asked me from whose mobile I was calling! Also I started receiving Private messages posted / Commented on Face book on Pravna Bharath's Time line on my mobile! This is very serious! I do not understand why Airtel people have not delinked this number before recycling to other consumer, once she allowed to expire the Sim! I am put to lots of inconveniences on account of these private messages pouring on my mobile. I do not know to whom I can complain this at Airtel as there is no proper response from them. How to solve this? K.GANAPATHIRAMAN

                                        Dear Concern, 1 month back I got a call from airtel (Ms. Anita- [protected]) for new post paid connection. They sent list of numbers. I selected 1 number ([protected]) and contacted her. Ms. Anita said number is available. And next day she sent their executive's to collect amount( RS-310), Photo copy and other ID proofs. On 21.02.2013 - 12.24PM other staff (Ms. Sukanya - [protected]) called me and said that numbers which I selected was already allocated to someone. I have been told to select other number. I told them if you can give me the number which I have selected then ok, otherwise return my money. She said " we cant refund money, I will check with my superior and let you know". But she never called me. On 23.02.2015 (3.39Pm to 4.06Pm) I had to call them. And Ms . Sukanya said "sir we will return you money by next day(24.02.2015)" But no one came and not even bother to call. On 25.02.2015 - 3.44Pm I had to call the executive (Mr. Kumar Raja) as Ms. Sukanya was not lifting my call. Exceutive said I will come tommorow to give your cash. On 28.02.2015 - Unfortunatly again I had to disturb Mr. Kumar Raja. He said unnecessary trash and disconnected my call. Same matter I have escalated with their Team head (MS. Laxmi - [protected]), but there is no use. Till now (09.03.2015) have not received my money. And more over Airtel team not responding to my calls. Kindly take up the issue with Airtel.
