He was trying to side this but it get selected and he got two messages of cut Rs 15, and Rs. 5 from mobile and my mobile balance is comes to be Rs 6.00 from Rs 26.00. I tryied many time to contact you. I also sent STOP sms to 155223. I recharge again of rs 90 at night and again next day morning you cut my Rs. 30. I shocked what is going on? We are not using any service and you deduct my Rs. 50 without any reason. What is going on? It is not the way of earning money. KINDLY return my Rs. 50/- or add balance of rs, 50 in my mobile.

Hi, Even after apple releases the iOS 8.1 to select the carrier option between 2G, 3G & LTE, Airtel india is limiting only iPhone 5S customers to stick to only 3G & LTE, this is not at all fair as your 3G signal doesn't show all the signal bars even when outside, indoor is the worst case, even after continuous reporting no action has been taken neither reply from the concerned customer care, This happens only with Airtel & 5S rest all the service providers are not blocking any thing, i know you will not iprove your signal but dont block your customers from choosing what they want, this is my last hope of try.

Consider this mail to be high end ESCALATION as this is been an ongoing issue since 5 months now. I am getting really disturbed by such mailers, despite me reminding not to send me mails to my official email ID this is continued on a daily basis now. I was told to contact Mr. Vijay Prasadh-[protected] which I did twice, however he informed that he will get back to me which yet to happen. Also I was told that there are no records from you that I have made 2 payments each of 500 in the month of August. 1st Aug 2014: 500 14th Aug 2014: 500 Also sent the Bank statement and the confirmation mailers of payment, of which I did not receive any confirmation, again I got the below mail of huge amount of 3803.7. Is this a Game going on every time? My connections is deactivated since 9th Sep as per your records, however as per me facility was not there since end of Aug itself. If I do not get a resolution or a call today on [protected], then I will have to lodge a formal complaint on this as this is a Harassment being made by you.

Hi, I would like to share one of the incident that took place with my father on date 05.11.2014 in Uttrakhand, Wednesday. My father received a call from #airtel. That was about to activate some service on phone. It was for activation of hello tune. After listening the person asked to press 1. But my father disconnected the call. after some time when he checked the balance, 200 rs was dedcuted and the service was activated. how come they can simply deduct money that was meant for calling. Its really bad. Then when he called the customer care, they are sayin dat we won't b refunding any money now. After questioning so many times, now they r telling him to come to their office. Really!! Now he have to go to their office, then y there are people recruited for customer care. What they r supposed to do then. Then in d evening I called customer care to enquire. The call was attended by a guynames RAVINDRA. When i said i want the money back to the account he said u activated it and it won't be refunded. After so much arguing, wid a red face i told him dat i m goin to post dis thing on social media like how #AIRTEL is making money. He said "do whatever u want to do..we won't be refunding d money". I said okay!! we'll see. The service is like hello tune for 1 year straight. Who would want such. My father doesn't even knew about it. He just uses a simple nokia phone for calls that's it, nothing else. Lets assume by mistake if the service is activated, then how can they say that we wont be refunding the money. Is this how #AIRTEL handles their customer. Been using airtel for so many years, now they have joined the league of other company's making money. Even after being India's biggest and calling themselves worldclass service provider. I want the recording of the conversation of my dad and the person making call for the service activation. Just sharing it with people so dat b aware, these days companies r doing such things. It's sometimes very difficult to keep a bit more balance. Hoping for a positive reply from #AIRTEL. Friends, plz share this post to let other people also knows that these things are happening and we have to make note of it else it will keeps on happening.

I have applied for a new broadband and land line connection on 28 Oct 2014. The Airtel representative promised to provide the connection within three working days but even till date inspite of repeated request / complaints to the customer care, Airtel has failed to provide new connection on flimsy grounds. The Airtel mechanic has not only disconnected my previous BSNL connection despite my objections but have put me into lots of inconvenience. My mobile No. is [protected]. Expecting immediate redressal.

I had applied for a new airtel dtv connection online on Monday i.e 03 nov 14 vide order no.09455306. Promptly I got a call from the local vendor that he will visit me in the evening which he never did.the next day I called up the customer care Hyderabad which promptly gave me the no. Of vendor and asked me to tie up with him(excuse me didn't I buy it online.if I was in a mood to haggle with him .I would have taken the connection directly from him) needless to say the vendor assured me one chap was enroute for installation who again never turned up. I lodged a complaint with airtel online this time ref id DT[protected] .I was again assured somebody will come back to me in 2hrs! Again nobody contacted me. I made repeated calls to the vendor and customer care who after 04 days have asked another 24 hrs to look into my problem. Didnt realize getting a simple airtel dtv installation would be such a harassing experience.

Dear sir This is PNV RAJU .sir on 04.11.2014 i searched for internet tariffs on google and found Rs.98 with 500mb 2g data, and i recharged it for my wifes mobile whose number is [protected] through my sbi internet oxigen services and received message of successful transaction.In view of my successfu transaction i have downloaded whatsup application which is of 22MB.I was shocked at the balance message received from airtel and i have been charged Rs.274/- of my balance.Immediately i have spoken to customer care person for the reason. They answered that Rs.98/- recharge is for 10paise/min which is already exists for this number.They also told me to verify it in airtel authorised site. I simply ask one question that why there are different types of tariffs for same amount and why it is shown different on different sites.It is done only to create ambiguity and confusion and leads to do false bussinees.As a old customer of Airtel i never expect this type of cheap bussiness from Airtel.

I have recharged rs 35/- on [protected] for roaming benefit.tThe recharge was successful and confirmation message was send to my mail id.But I did not get the facility, The customer care executives are not helping me to solve the issue. They are giving me different information in different time. Please help me. Regards Nirmalendu/Oindrila M- [protected]

Hi, I have relocated from Hyderabad to Chennai and my flat is located at Door No-401, Amity apartment, Helios city, Padur (Kelambakam). I have applied for WIFI connection last week Thursday (30th Oct) and 1000rs installation charges are given to the airtel representative and till now I din’t get any updates from your Airtel and no further proceedings. Your representative committed that I will get the connection next day and now I realized that all as fake promises. This is deeply frustrating for me since I am working from home and in need of Internet connection badly to proceed with my work. I believe my area comes under thorapakkam airtel office and manager who is taking care of process is Saravanan. The representative name is chandru and his number is [protected] & manager name is saravanan([protected]). Please do the needful to return my money back and I don’t need the connection any more. Thanks, Bharath kumar [protected]

I would like to bring to Airtel's attention that their new 'Manage Services' page on their 'My Airtel' site is utterly ridiculous. In the 'Last 5 transactions', subscribers can longer see the numbers they dialled. The service is of not much use now... I request the company to immediately restore the old settings under which we could very clearly view the numbers dialles.

Dear Sir, Dear Sir/Madam I had applied post paid connection from pre-paid coneection new sim number [protected] on 22.07.20144. my sim not Activate and .

My address is as below: Rohit Kumar Verma H no. 298 Gali no. 8 Near SBI Kapashera Delhi 1100037

Please note that Airtel is troubling me in shifting the broadband connection. Its been a week now that i have requested shifting of my connection. No body is bothered to tell me the delay. Yesterday i enquired again and was told that my new residence does not fit in their requirement, distance from there DP is about 100 m more than their policy. My issues are: Why are they mentally harassing Me and even after repeated calls are not responding? Why they are taking so much time to deny me the transfer, thereby loss of time and monetary work for me? Is their policy so rigid that they cannot accomodate their one customer, or they simply dont' care and run for profits only? As for as their concern for customer take this as reply i got from them - Pls change your address or surrender your connection!

On my Mob No. [protected] Airtel activated some pack as mentioned above & deducted 30/- on 3rd Nov 2014.When talking to the customer care staff, he was rude & while talking to the senior staff, He was more rude & asking if there is any Manager who can reverse the charge, Mr Gopa Ram The so called Manager refused to put me on line. Such unfriendly behaviour by the company staff is not acceptable. I want my money to be reversed immediately.

Hi, Hope you are doing good. I have a complaint Airtel Team. Yesterday, I received my ebill which was generated for worth Rs. 6129.57. When I checked the details, I found that Airtel changed my 3x internet plan to regular plan and also charged late fee while I submitted my last bill on time. I immediately contacted customer support team. Some customer support person (Mr. Siddharth) received my call and when I discussed the issue with him, he informed that plan is changed because 3x plan was removed by Airtel's internet plan list. When I asked why it wasn't intimated to me before doing that, then he informed that sms was sent to me, while I never received any sms. When I further asked him for sms details on my email, he simple refused saying it is not possible from my system. When I said I will not pay a single penny for this if information is not given to me, because you are saying that Airtel sent me a message while I didn't received it then he simply replied, 'If you don't wish to pay then it's your choice'. This is the attitude of Customer support team. Also, I further had an interaction in this regard from his supervisor (Mr. Shobhit) who after listening to the complete issue assured me that the complaint raised by me on the issue will be solved on priority and their team will revert me within 24 hr. But, today I received a message from Airtel that the complaint raised by me is resolved, while no one from Airtel team contacted me. It is the third / fourth time I am facing such issues from Airtel and I need action on this. Details of my complaint mentioned below: Reference no. of complaint: 58771705 Screenshot of SMS received for resolution of complaint without contacting me is attached with this message. NOTE: Last month, I had a word with one of the supervisors of customer support team about my internet plan and he suggested me to continue with the plan saying, “You should continue with 3x plan as it suits your requirement and if we discontinue it for you now then I would like to inform you that company has already removed this plan but since you are using it before discontinuation of the plan from Airtel, so you will keep on getting the service.” For further reference to the issue Airtel Team can check the audio recordings of the interaction which I had with their team last month.

This is Rahul Sarkar, mobile no. [protected], I have 299 Plan. Few months back I'eve ported out from Voda Phone Post paid to Airtel Post paid service. I've received the quotation from S.s.e Prime Telecom Llp, they offered me 500 Local minutes + 300 Local minutes extra as I'eve switched from "Vodaphone" Post paid to "Air Tel" post paid. But when my connection is started I've got only 500 local minutes in pack. It was a FAKE PROMISE from S.S.E Prime Telecom Lip. Sr. person of Prime Telecom named Bikash Sen. and one of his executive Named Swapan Promised me they will solve the issue. (Again Fake Promise) THERE ARE ALMOST 9 MAILS I've sent to appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com (which Level 3: Appellate Authority) of Air Tel, who also confirmed the issue from me over Phone. But not yet they took a single initiative from their side except some reply that "they are working on it". Its already more than 2months. Now I have only option is to port it out.
