good day sir i am sumit kumar using airtel no [protected]. i have recharge my no. with Rs. 300 and Rs. 200 online on 19/12/2014 and after recharge i checked my balance and found Rs.192 only. i called airtel customer care 121 and asked about the deduction but they rudely told me that they cant do anything and cant tell me about my balance deduction and told me to transfer call to their senior and after 2 min they cut the line and they are doing this repeatedly.i am using airtel service from last 10 years and am very much disappointed with the customer care service provided by airtel, i am fed up now and want you to please look into the matter and do the needful. thanks

Hello I am Vivek and i recharge my mobile number ([protected]) with 3g plan 60mb 3g at Rs.23 but i am very very disappointed i am not getting 3g signal don't know what happen i called customer care but their customer executive are really useless they don't listening to the customers and disconnect the call ... I want resulation as soon as possible

Dear Sir, I have bought a 3g dongle of your co. But for last couple of months the connection is terminated automatically after a 30 min or 1hr session. I contact 121 and 198. There a customer care executive (!) takes my call and after hearing my problem he/she transfers the call to his senior, there one more time I have to brief my problem. After hearing he says that as he cannot do anything in this regard he is transferring the call to technical helpline. Here the fun begins. The phone rings and rings and rings. No one there to attend my call. Only a digital voice says that my call is very important to them and I have to wait. This game continues from last 30 days. I contact them again and again. The same happens time to time. I am a customer of airtel from 2008 (my earlier no. is [protected] where u can check my recharge amount) and till I use airtel dongle and I recharge plenty. Am I not eligible for your kind help? Avik Kumar Das, [protected] Bankura West Bengal

I called your customer care executive on 17th December 2014 and asked about the 3g Internet offer on my mobile- [protected] to which he gave the wrong information about Rs. 149 recharge stating that at the current moment i will get 500 Mb 3g data and 500 mb 3g Data as an offer. When i spoke to Imrog he just sounded like an uneducated team Leader who just go on telling one line continuously and then I also spoke to Gaurav who just disconnected the call when i asked him to let me know the name of the CSR who gave me the wrong information. These team leader really sucks. Its not the matter of Rs.149 but now if i need to an help its very difficult for me to call any CSR. Thanks, Suraj, Mob;- [protected]

Mail to: [protected]@in.airtel.com Dear Sir / Madam Airtel Digital TV account number and Registered account number are mentioned in the subject. I recharged my account with Rs. 3850 yesterday (18/12/2014) @ 6.35pm. Please note the problems and unevenities in the same, which are frustrating and time + money wasting. Please resolve my issue based on the same. My recharge was done successfully as per net banking at 6.35pm, 18/12/2014. A confirmation SMS and Call from HSBC came immediately. However problem started when for about 45 minutes, my account was still suspended. Attachment1: Call_List_1.png & Call _List_2.png > I had to call 5 times, that too on a Toll number (paid) for about 35.25 MINUTES to get the problem resolved. The Executives who attended were absolutely rude and had no manners how to keep their voice tone and resolve. Most irritating customer service Toll Number I have ever witnessed. Attachment2: Recharge_Transaction_ID.png> Got a SMS from Airtle DTH immediately after recharge giving me Transaction ID. While the Digital TV started after about 1 hour of panic, I had again to call back the customer service for Base Pack Updation for LONG DURATION!! Yuks, there is no such option of Value Prime with 12DTH on website for 12 months. The second problem started then. Attachment3: Set1_Long_Duration_Pack_and_Recharge.png > You can see, A series of SMS after updating my long duration pack on call started at 7.42pm. First Confirming the recharge, Then confirming the long duration base pack, then failure o[censored]pdation of long duration pack, and then again failure o[censored]pdation of long duration pack. That too DUE TO AIRTEL’S TECHNICAL FAILURE, ASKING ME TO CALL BACK. Now come on. First i[censored] have confirmed the new pack, why reversing it. Second, if it’s ur technical failure, WHY SHOULS I BE CALLING BACK, that too on a TOLLED NUMBER. The mystery of my Long Duration pack still remains undefined. Further to my pain, in your Recharge Transaction ID sms, you asked me to SMS HR to 54325. Attachment4: SET2_SMS_at_54325.png > I messaged the same to 54325 from my registered mobile number [protected]. Please see the results of the sms. The reply from AIRTEL came that the MOBILE NUMBER IS NOT REGISTED. I pardon, this was the same mobile on which till now I was receiving other SMS and was entertained on phone calls. Finally, today morning, my portal still shows my balance as Rs 5.75, SURPRISINGLY with a validity till 12/12/2015. I wonder if Rs. 5.75 are sufficient to run my connection till 12/12/2015. I hope you get the unevenities, and provide me a resolution before I approach any ombudsman. Please confirm my Long Duration pack updation, recharge and Long duration date.

I am a regular user of 3G internet on my phone and based in the chennai circle. I am currently working out of Delhi and the 3G internet pack that I have availed has been rendered useless. No website loads and no other app features work on my phone. It is a waste of my 250 Rupees. I complained through their customer care but they have been ingnoring my complaints, as usual . This is so unprofessional and unethical of such a big firm. Please look into it that the issue is resolved. Contact details : sriram.[protected]@gmail.com

Hi, I am Airtel customer and till now have been paying the bills regularly without any delays. I had gone to Canada on 24-Sep-2014. I called up Airtel call center and requested for International Roaming. I was tole d that the international roaming is for 199/Month. So i requested them to activate International Roaming. They asked me if any value added IR packs are required which will cost 3500/-. I categorically told them that i donot require it. I deactivated by Internation roaming on 19-Oct or 20-Oernatict(I donot remember the date exactly) However i was billed for 3500/- pack in the Sept-Oct bill. I paid the same. I was again billed for 3500 in Oct-Nov billing cycle. I called them up and requested them to look in to it, i was told that only internation roaming was deactivated and not IR pack. I am surprised with the below: 1) Even after asking them not to activate IR pack they activated the same. 2) After that on deactivating the International roaming they still are charging me for the IR pack. I am not sure what will i do with I pack if international roaming is deactivated. Thanks, Sachin

I had applied to convert postpaid number into prepaid on 12th December, 2014. My postpaid sim has stopped working since then whereas the prepaid sim is not yet activated. Moreover, I had visited Airtel office in Sector 11, Panchkula several times, where Mr. Sammi's behaviour was extremly rude. His gestures of extreme disrespect are not befitting with the moral code of conduct with a female customer. Kindly take necessary actions so that such haressment of female customers is not continued.

COMPLAINT- DEFICIENCY IN SERVICE. Inbox x G.S.Sagar Dec 16 (2 days ago) Reply to 121 Dear Sir, , I applied for Landline connection along with BB facility through your Bharti Airtel authorised DSA ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES mobile no -[protected] on 29/11/2014 and also deposited Rs6495/ towards six month rent. But i am constrained to point out that even after 18 days, i have not been advised by any responsible officer and neither connection has been provided. Can any body from Airtel, tell me the reason for such a long delay ? I therefore once again request to provide connection immediately. Immediate reply from responsible officer is solicited.

Now this is how it starts, At first an employee named Mr. Santosh Dubey (mobile- [protected]/ [protected]), commits me of getting the lease line done within 7 days. Then came his senior from Mahape named Mr. Manoj Rai (mobile- [protected]), rectifying his junior's mistake and said it takes around 12 days to get lease line activated. It was 17th of Nov 2014, we spoke and gave all the documents along with the Cheque to these gentlemen. We confirmed about the activation within 12 days and they said it will be done. We also checked with them as to when the cheque will be deposited, they assured us that after installation when the testing is done, only then they will deposit the cheque. Things were great till 3rd Dec'2014, when we tried to contact both these men to check as to what happened to the lease line and to our surprise both were unable to respond. We kept calling and still no response. Furiously, We had to drop the idea of getting Airtel Lease Line because we were getting this connection for a project which we were expecting at that point of time. We never got that [project and thanks to your associates, as the project was huge and it was all dependent on the Lease Line Connection (as it one of the terms & condition from the respective company). A week back, we luckily got to speak to Mr. Santosh Dubey, whom we asked to return our documents & cheque, respectively. He assured us that the cheque will not be deposited as the installation is not done (statement from him). Now the biggest shock came today when we noticed the cheque was deposited and the money was deducted (Rs. 33710.0/-) from my account. When we called Mr. Manoj Rai, (this time he answered) and asked him to refund the amount as this whole thing is a Scam and we never approved of this, he said, "Do whatever you want, go ahead and file a case against the company if you want your money back, I cant help you. I sit at Mahape office, do whatever you want." Then we tried to speak to Mr. Manoj Rai's Senior Mr.Santosh Satpute (Shree Enterprises Mahape (DSA) / mobile- [protected]) who then confirmed the refund within 45 days, he is only person who told us that cheque gets deposited at the time of processing, not after installation. He was suppose to get back to me with the proper update within 15 minutes which was in the morning, yet no response. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SCAM.

Reference: Postpaid numbers: [protected] & [protected] Account numbers:[protected] &[protected] With reference to my above email dated on 20th day of October 2014 which is not sorted yet. When i dropped the cheque in one of your drop box located in Express Avenue, Royapettah, Chennai Here is the cheque detail Date:[protected] Cheque Number: 149223 Amount: 5, 514/- Bank: Indian Bank, Peters Road Branch I got a sms saying the cheque is not valid as the "Break-up of amount is not mentioned" (till date no one in Airtel Could explain what that means) . So, I went to the santhome Main Branch and paid the Cash for Rs.5, 514/- & when i asked for that rejected cheque the representative there told me that they will send it by post but till date i have not got that cheque back. And the next month bill came for Rs.2, 960/- for which I again dropped a cheque in the same drop box location Here is the cheque detail Date:[protected] Cheque Number: 149226 Amount: 2, 960/- Bank: Indian Bank, Peters Road Branch (Please see attached bank statement copy) I again got a sms stating the same reason and by this time i started getting calls from the Airtel appointed collection agents, who clearly has no information about my payment details and also absolutely zero knowledge about the drop box location. One person form the collection agency asked me to check with my Bank to see if the cheques have been realised, So, I went to my Bank and was extremely surprised & shocked to see that both the above mentioned cheques have realised on the 05th day of December 2014 and the amount's been deducted from my account(Please see attached Bank Statement Copy). I have already made cash payment for the first cheque but still the cheque was presented in the bank and amount is taken by Airtel.This it is a world class fraud & to Add oil to burning fire today my number got disconnected for non-payment where you guys have my advance payment of Rs. 5, 514. I immediately called the customer care to check what is the issue & the representative gave the usual lame answer that the server is down & it will take 4 (FOUR) hours to be rectified. This is load of crap, I mean why should I make the payment twice and still my account is not getting updated?? What kind of crappy systems & servers you people have got?? I'm not making this month's payment till my previous issues are sorted out, in fact i dont have to make any payments because there is deposit of Rs. 5, 514/- is there in my account.I will wait untill tomorrow if I don't get a proper reply from you guys, I'm filing a legal suit against Airtel with all the evidence that I've got. I've been a loyal customer to Airtel for more than a decade now and I dont deserve such a treatment and i assure that i will use number portability and go to some other "least worst" service provider if this problem is not resolved by today.

I am having 2 connections of Airtel digital TV. In respect of one of them I am facing a continuous recurring problem where 75% of the channels are not available for viewing after 7-8pm till morning (peak TV viewing time). This problem occurred each month and every month we raised a complaint with Airtel customer care (CC). In response, they sent their person who gave us temporary resolutions and recovered Rs 150 as charges. We requested for...

Dear Sir, Myself Pradeepkumar Nair, would be please to inform you that despite of clearing the outstanding amount as per your records of Rs. 1542/- dtd: 13.12.14, My connectivity has not been restored till date.
