Today on 20th January 2015 when I contacted Airtel at about 3.25PM the executive was very rude. When I pointed out he started abusing me. The person is like cancer for such a big company and should be shunted out. S.K. Gupta Mob [protected]

      I came to know that airtel has deducted Rs. 125 from my balance just like that for no reason. I was in international roaming and I didnt use for voice or data calls, but huge amount was deducted. I was having balance of Rs. 250+ & I recently recharged for Rs. 250 on 15.01.2015. I request airtel to put back wrongly deducted money immediately to my account. Mob. No. [protected]

        hi all, I have a CUG plan for 299 per month which give 750Mb of 3G mobile data. Whenever a bill comes, I see that if the actual usage showing in mobile is 650MB or whatever. In the bill, it will show with +100Mb or 150Mb extra data for which I either have to pay extra 3rs per MB or I have to stop using Internet for rest of the month to avoid excess usage. I have lodged complaints 3 times under air el 198 customer service cell, but none have worked out. This month, for the month of Jan (21st bill date), they are again telling that I have consumed 200 MB extra after the actual usage i.e. 750MB+200MB, total 950Mb. Please, provide a justice for my problem. Prashanth Raghunath [protected]

          My mobile number number is [protected]. I have been using Airtel Mobile (prepaid) service since more than 20 years. I have recharged with Rs 500/-. However, I am receiving some SMS for which Rs 5 or some time Rs 1 is being deducted. I have not requested for such services. I request you to please remove all such unauthorized chargeable services from my plan, as I only use talk time and SMS. Dr U.C.Pandey

                    Have contacted airtel customer care for converting my postpaid mobile no [protected] to prepaid mobile no. As instructed I have paid the pending amount and have submitted my documents at santhome Bharathi airtel showroom on 10th Jan 2015. They have informed that the prepaid Sim will be activated in 24 hours. It's been 9 days still the Sim is not yet activated. Also I have called customer care on alternative days to remind about Sim activation. They have mentioned that complaint have been registered and reference no[protected]. Seems like they wouldn't process the request until the next bill is generated. Please take necessary action for prepaid sim activation WITHOUT any further bill payment for this 9 days as its their fault that they haven't processed the request.
                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                    Still there is no proper action taken from airtel. This problem is not yet resolved.they do not provide any reference id as when the request is raised for postpaid to prepaid conversion after document submission. Hence we are unable to track this problem even on calling customer care.
                    Though postpaid to prepaid conversion can be done only at Santhome branch. We get calls frequently from airtel enquiring about the branch where we have submitted the documents post which no actions are taken. It is clear that they are waiting for the next bill to be generated.
                    Its been 16 days from day I have raised request for post paid to prepaid conversion. And 10 days from the day I have raised complaint to airtel customer care. Reference complaint no. : 5986 025 2
                    Please close this at the earliest without further bill payment as bill is already paid.

Believed on this I have paid RS 400/- but surprisingly your office demanding me to pay rent more than 280/- in two months after connection with other charges i.e more than 350/-. Sir, I submit that this issue is a serious concern from such a group of big organisation. Hence, I request you to kindly resolve the case and also I request you to deduct the amount I am due from my deposit of 400/- and seize the mobile no[protected] from now onwards and pay me balance amount. Sir, I request you to take care of such type of cheaters from your staff and they should be thrown away from your organisation.to safe gaurd the organisation. Regards, Bhima Shankar

                                Hello, Respected SIr/Madam, Me Mrs. Jayshree Pawar. Mere Uncle ne mere mobile me date 10/01/15 250/- balance ka karvaya tha, Aaj dopahar tak mera balnce 180/- aisa tha, Aur jab mene apna balnce 4.30pm ko chek kiya to 45/-Rs bata raha he. Isliye mene custmer care ko call kiya to o muze ye bata rahe he ki aapka balace aapke Reteliar ne vapas le liya he . mene pucha bhai aisa kyu? to bol te he ki galti se aapka recharge kiya gaya hoga isliye aapke retelier ne aapke BALNCE se paise kat liye he. Jab bhi mere mobile me jyada yani 150/- balance hota he to hamesha AIRTEL walo ka yahi natak rahata he. so pls aap mere paise muze vapas dilva de. AIRTEL walo ko to thikane pe lana hi he.

                                    i, TAPAN KUMAR DUTTA regular user of Airtel 4G connection (no. [protected]) was approached by one Airtel agent (ARB GLOBAL VENTURES, P-162 CIT SCHEME, KOL-54) to help me increase speed & stop frequent interruptions of my connection. In turn he convinced me to go for a new SIM & promised to give me trouble-free new connection. hence i agreed & applied for new connection 14.01.15. He informed that it will be activated in next 48hrs. He also told me to send mail to Airtel for disconnection of my existing no. [protected] which i did. after that i received call from Airtel service & wanted to know why i am disconnecting. i explained about my problem & informed above mentioned actions by Airtel agent. The service man told me not to disconnect existing connection & instructed me over phone how to reset my connection to get problems solved. i followed & found problems are eliminated. hence i wanted to follow his advises. he confirmed me that my connection ([protected]) will not be disconnected & my new request for connection (i got sms that new connection no [protected]) will be de-activated. once that is done, i started getting repeated calls from Airtel representatives (always thru phones whom i cannot trace). all the calls are for re-conneting of [protected]. i refused to do that. then i sent mails to Airtel '[protected]@in.airtel.com' & explained my entire problem. also requested to help me out. my only request is i have 1 dongol. i want to keep 1 connection i.e [protected]. i am still getting phones for reconnection of [protected]. i dont know who can help me. MY REQUEST TO AIRTEL IS PLEASE REFRAIN YOUR AGENTS FROM MISGUIDING GENUINE CUSTOMERS LIKE ME. LET US GET CORRECT ADVISE FROM THEM. I AM HAPPY WITH MY EXISTING CONNECTION [protected]. PLEASE KEEP IT. PLEASE DISCONNECT [protected], IF BY CHANCE CONNECTED. I SHALL NOT PAY FOR 2 CONNECTIONS AGAINST SINGLE DONGOL. REGARDS TAPAN KUMAR DUTTA ([protected])
