Address: Indore, Madhya Pradesh

I had taken a broadband(DSL) connection with Tariff Plan "Surf 899(511)" in October 2014 Month. For this I supposed to charge 'Activation Charge' of '5600Rs' which I paid to your Sales person 'Satish' while submitting the form. But due to problem in line connection in Old Palasia area, connection not get established. Here are the details: Name: Shalini Gupta City: Indore Phone Number: [protected] Existing CEF No, : 4003399 Broadband(DSL) Tariff Plan: Surf 899(511) Bandwidth: 2Mbps Account Manager: Satish Phone Number: [protected] I was supposed to go to your Airtel office reside near to Malhar Mall, as ask about the refund process. They told me that they have processed and it will get refund by Check within 45 days as this whole process takes this much of time. But still I have not get any check, many times I had taken follow-up with your team but this time they told me that go to another office which reside in 'Metro Tower'. This is very disaster, how can you team member ask to customer that you go here and there. They should know about the status despite to ask to customer to go there. No customer have that much of time to go here and there just to gather the information about all this. This is very painful for me, and really disappointed with your whole this process and really I recommend to other people no to take your any more services. Because while taking payment you are at the first door but while when customer ask to refund all this you supposed to be disappear even you not supposed to give actual status for customer. It's my request you to please look into this matter and take a step for this and refund my Activation charges with interest to me. I hope you will take a action again this!!

    In my mobile no. [protected] incoming and outgoing both barred since last 10 days without any reason and no prior intimation to me. May I know on what basis ? Moreover I am the genuine subscriber of this number since 4-5 yrs and on which rule it has been disconnected. I had an argument with my Boss and from very next day it has been disconnected. Please look into the matter and make it operational.

        Mobile No: [protected] Alternate No: [protected] Complaint Reference number not generated by the service provider despite sending various mails. First complaint mail sent on 25th Dec 2014. Description: I did a recharge of 1000 Rs in my prepaid number [protected] on the date 16th Dec 2014. I was on international roaming from 17th Dec to 20th Dec. During this duration I did not make any calls neither sent any messages. I used my data pack for just once amounting to less than 10 mb of data usage. When I returned back to India, I notice that the entire balance has been deducted from my account. I raised this issue with the Airtel customer care [protected]@in.airtel.com. But the customer care doesn''t bother to share my data usage details. According to roaming data charges of 4 paisa/10kb my total data usage charges (for 10 mb) cannot exceed more than 40 Rs (INR). I have tried to follow up at the airtel customer care but neither they have issued any complaint number nor they have responded to my emails. Kindly take strictest action against such fraud charges levied by airtel.

                  I got a missed call from unknown number ([protected]) . On calling back, the reply from the other side was that they were from AIRTEL company and congratulated my win on a lottery ticket and immediately the call got disconnected. Later I realised that Rs14 was deducted from my mobile balance . On checking whose number it was, through true caller it read Shafique from Pakistan. Please interrogate on this number as soon as possible.

                    I have Airtel 4G connection which was sold to me stating that the plan will not change and is fixed for lifetime, the plan was 10GB of data @999/- and post which there would be no additional charges but with reduced speed. Now, Airtel is forcefully changing the plan to 10GB limited data post which they'll be charging for each kb of data usage. I have raised this concern with Airtel customer care centre via multiple e-mails however they have come back that the plan now will not be changed and if I want I can switch to another service provider. I'm fine in switching to another service provider however Airtel is not even ready to pay for the modem buy back which they are saying that they don't do as per terms and condition but my question is that as per the terms and conditions they should not have changed the bill plan as well then. Before contacting them via mails I had a brief discussion with Airtel Custome Care executive wherein I was told that the plan will not change if I'm not fine in changing the same. Airtel in the first place did a mis-selling by not letting me know about the bill plan change in near future then I a false commitment stating the bill plan will not change and later on forcefully changing the bill plan. ( I have the all the mails from Airtel which I can forward as required) Request you to let me know if the bill plan can be changed without customer consent and is the service provider has full rights to make changes as per their wish. Thank you, Regards, Sunil Bed. (@ [protected]@yahoo.co.in)

                        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]

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]
