Dear Sir, Today morning I did prepaid recharge for 3G Data Pack for 28 days for Rs. 252/- Mumbai circle on my mobile number [protected]. I did via www.airtel.com via net banking link. Please note my Axis Bank account is debited of amount Rs. 252/- but it said transaction failed. My transaction id is[protected]. They are saying they will check and refund within 7-10 working days. I have a serious complaint why do they take 7-10 working days to refund money? In today's world of faster IT problem resolution and net banking era why does it take 7-10 days to refund. Even Cheque's are clear within 1 working day. Kindly take up and resolve this issue. with regards, Kuku Nage

Hi, My name is Mili Jaiswal, I was using the airtel number [protected] from past 10+ years, But my number was deactivated without prior intimation by airtel and the reason which they gave is the number was not in use however I have been using the number on regular basis, I may not have made any out going calls for 1 month but have been receiving calls and was using data plans as well. I have records to prove them. I have updated this number in all of my bank accounts, trading accounts, professional network, insurance and almost everywhere possible. The number was alse recharged on regular basis with lifetime validity. When I asked for reactivation of this number I was asked to submit the forms and the docs like POA, POI, Pan and a photo by 27th Jan, Which I submitted on Friday 27th jan at marathahalli, banaglore relationship center and I was told that the number will be activated within 72 hours. but when I tried to reach airtel since the number was not activated within 72 hours, to my surprise, the same number is allocated to someone else. In spite of following up on my complain and following the actions provided by airtel, the number is given to someone else. Please help. Regards, Mili Jaiswal [protected] / [protected]

Dear sir,
my number [protected] is enjoying airtel 3g prepaid connexion till date.
now a days I observe that the company is harassing me with poor data rate and signal strength which resulted in frequent data loss from my side . The company offers 3g in west Bengal circle which my SIM is set to but I see most of the time it provides 2g connection and frequent 2g / 3g switching though I am in bagnan mostly. my average download speed is 234 kbps using unlocked HTC desire 816 dual, with rs., 455 @ 2gb 3g for 28 days.however, the company offers much higher rate than expected.
therefore, sir, I am requesting u to take against this thief.
thank u.
my other contact no., [protected]

Hello Team. My concern here is with Airtel charging me in excess towards mobile internet usage. Below, the details: My name is Vinay Gundaveni and my mobile number is [protected]. My airtel postpaid account has a credit limit of 3600 and bill gets generated on every 26th. My monthly plan includes free internet usage of 500MB per month. Bill for November month got generated on 26th Nov and it was 1900/- (Due Date is Dec 16, 2014). On Dec 13, 2014, I received an SMS from Airtel saying my mobile internet usage as on Dec 13 is Rs 5464 and that I'll have to pay Rs 5464 to continue using mobile internet services. Shocked at reading the SMS, I called up Airtel and they told me that they could help ONLY when the bill gets generated and so, I have to wait until Dec 26th for the bill to get generated. I went through the bill on Dec 27th and what i found was, Airtel shows mobile internet usage of worth Rs 5627/- at around 10:49PM on Dec 12, 2014. This is totally a CHEAT!! I called up Airtel on Dec 28th and after a long hold to speak to a supervisor, I was told that there was no supervisor available and someone would call me in 24hrs - which did NOT happen!! I had to call them again and when i spoke to a supervisor, she told me that there's nothing they could do and that bill information/amount is correct. I explained the supervisor that in my relationship with Airtel of over 2 years, I've never had such a huge internet usage and that too on a single day!!! I've asked her to provide me with details as to what did I browse/download such a huge data but she said that it they cannot. This supervisor could help me with nothing but asked me to write to [protected]@in.airtel.com explaining the while situation. I wrote to Airtel explaining the whole situation but what I received was a general-acknowledgement type reply which also said that the bill amount is correct. Now, I reach out to you asking for HELP and JUSTICE!! My questions are 1. Credit limit on my account is 3600/-. I've had an outstanding bill of Rs 1900 as on Dec 12/13th, so, the maximum amount of service I should be able to use would be not more than Rs 1700/- (unless I make any payment). How did Airtel allow me use more than the set credit limit of Rs 3600???? 2. Airtel alerts me of my mobile internet usage everytime as I reach closer to my free mobile internet monthly limit of 500MB. However, I have not received any alert(s) for month of December. WHY??? Personally, I use only WiFi at home and not mobile internet. And at 10:49PM, I was home and so, I did not use any of the mobile internet service. AIRTEL IS CHEATING ME AND NOW, KEEPS CALLING ME!! Please help me solve this situation!! Vinay G [protected]

So kindly take action on it and also i request you to refund my deducted money as it was a toll free number Hoping for a quick response

I browsed through internet and while scrolling to download, i clicked on something and immediately i received a message telling i am subscribed to LAILA and was deducted 35rs from my main account.If i am not repaid with the amount then.

I have been using airtel prepaid sim since 2006, I am very upset that the airtel employees are soo corrupt that they have given all the details of my outgoing and incoming calls with the call duration and sms' to some unknown person. I am very sure about it as that person has forwarded me all the details of my phn calls. Is this how you treat your valued customers.I want to immediately deactivate my number.not just stop using the sim and wait for 3 long months to get deactivated, as informed by one of your employee.i will take serious actions against your company if i further find that my details are being given to any stranger.Warn you. Hope to receive your reply promptly.

I am using the airtel broad band [protected] from past 10 months. I paid all the bills but the speed and the usage was wrongly projected and made the speed as very low. When I called cse of airtel they were not able to rectify and so, I asked them to withdraw the my connection on 01/15/2015 with the current usage. The bill will raise on 28th of every month and I need to pay before 14th of the next month. I am receiving the message as due your no:[protected] going for permanent disconnection due to default of INR 860 So pls make the payment today to avoid disconnection. In the above message it shown as default. I am not a defaulter to the payment to airtel. Airtel have the issue with the billed amount and doing the fraud usage services without having the proper connection to the sites. The same was talked with Airtel CSE. For verification you can take the call recording from Airtel done from my number [protected] to airtel customer care number. The Contracted or Airtel agents are calling from[protected] and making frighten to pay the amount earlier before 14th of next month. I am very much afraid because of these calls from airtel. Kindly take necessary actions on this type of calls and messages sending by airtel. The message showing as default but am not a defaulter I paid all the bills correctly and for me the service is not correct hence I asked the airtel to disconnect the connection,
