I messaged three times to AIRTEL for getting Unique Porting code with the specified format given as per the government, but they messaged back saying wrong format all the times even though format was right all the time. They deducted the balance all the time. I wish to take a legal action against them as they are notoriously famous for doing such balance frauds. I will move to file a petition against them in high court if not answered properly.

    Dear Sir Airtel has again disappointed me by generating excess bill amount for the service which i have never used. I have called airtel's helpline many times but in vain. In my area signal strength is not even proper and my sim is in roaming so how can I use internet willingly or bimistakely . Plz clear me what should I do now. To file a case in consumer forum for poor service of airtel and negligence of customers complaint for barring him more than 3 days for the charges which he has never used or file an FIR that if I haven't use so who is using internet from my no. or airtel will investigate upon this matter. mob no- [protected]

It is not understood that how a service provider can charged the amt without providing /asked any service and this is being done with thousands customers which is highly irregular.- nirmal kumar [protected]

                I am B.Sudhakar, having an mobile number [protected] with airtel connection. I have paid an amount of Rs. 440/- asking for a package. I have received the same by airtel on 23/12/14 online. it shows that the amount is dedicated balance, I could not understand what it is. Again to see that my sms for 210 messages to be activated, I have asked for the same and same is deducted from my balance of to the tune of Rs. 20/-, still the same is shown as not actived. I understand airtel is fraud I am planning to move away from the airtel, if my issue is not resolved with immediate effect

                  Hi Team, I am the customer since 7 years an whenever i complain they resolve the issue and again after sometimes problem started.This is the reason i switch backed from postpaid to prepaid because i had to face the poor customer service when i called the customer care desk. Yesterday i called around 5 pm and spoke to a Sr.. Customer Executive regarding my complain and he was unable to resolve the case and not even escalated the call and left me distress and i now decided to share this instance to the Consumer Forum Court. Issue:( i checked in Airtel website where it was mentioned the RC79 is for one month roaming free and it was not working after the successful recharge also hence i called the cc and Anupam told that he cant help me and i have to do RC38 inorder to get the priviledge of free incoming calls when i am out of station. I asked for refund also he denied so not alternate options provided aswell .I wanted to share this instance before i highlight to consumer court.Revert back to my mail asap. email ( sharique.[protected]@gmail.com) Mob:- [protected]

                            As they say you are the best network in signal compatibility due to that and your brand name the network is demanding so much high prices which people are forced to go due to the requirement. due to this they are losing their customer base and its fame. your service good but the cost paid by us is too heavy. and they are saying that we want to recharge data pack separate and want to recharge for wats app this is unbearble by the customers to afford and the validity is only 28 days less mb has been given.please make the customer satisfied and affordable then try to get money this is filed on behalf of all airtel customers. thank you

                                I filled a service request to Airtel DTH to look after my DTH and resolve the issue. @6PM They filed a complaint immediately and said it would cost RS.150 for a visit .Even if it is two minutes work on DTH. I said ok & gave a timing before 10AM on any day! The next day morning [ 7 Calls ] 10:15AM a guy called and asked Shall i come now ? I said i started to office. 10:25AM Airtel customer care call 10:45 AM Service Engineer called. Same story 11:02 AM Another service engineer ( I was about to enter into a meeting ) 11:20 AM Another Service Engineer ( I Got angry ) 11:50 AM Again a service engineer. ( I said i don't want any service ) 12:02 PM Airtel customer care and Service Engineer on a Conference Call ( The Call center girl ( Doesn't Know Tamil ) asked me What is the issue and the service engineer started shouting, We will call 1000 times until we finish our work and you have to answer ! By the time call center girl is laughing. # A kind advice to Airtel, When you outsource your work validate the background of Service Engineering Agency. # A Quick up time and compelling the customer is not a good CUSTOMER SERVICE. GUYS THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU CHOOSE AIRTEL DTH.

                                  On my mobile #[protected], I had asked for PORT on 12/23/2014 and they called me saying to offer 25 paise per minute Local and National all over India calls and 100 SMS free with 3 SMS rental at 50 paise, and he asked me to recharge for Rs 19 to avail this offer. After recharging the same, I didnt get any offer. When I called the call center back, they said we didnt give any such offer to this number. I would request Airtel to not cheat customers by employing fraud executives and offering cheating information. It is our hard-earned money and didnt beg them any offer. I would request to take action on that executive on 12/23/2014 who spoke and cheated me and refund Rs 19. Thanks

                                      My name is Mukesh kumar. My Airtel mobile no is [protected]. I am tremendous worried and disgusted on airtel. Suddenly I have been notified via sms on 25 Dec, 2014 at 09.57pm that “LAILA has been activated” on my mobile and 30/- rupees has been deducted for 6 days. I never want it. I stopped the service immediately. My question is why Airtel is doing this kind of cheating. I am completely disgusted on Airtel. Please refund the deducted amount as soon as possible.
