Address: Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala

Sir I bought a sim from Nedumangad, Trivandrum Kerala on 2/12/2014 and gave id proof and my photograph. They told me that it will be activated around 8 at night. But it has not activated so far and I went to their office. I told them the trouble I had to face with because I travelled 20 km and lost half day leave for this. Their response surprised me. They simply told me that if I have any complaint I should call 121 and tell there. Then they did something in the computer and told me that it will be activated within one hour. But it has not activated so far and show no range. The person who handled my complaint was one Ratheesh.(he told me so) Please help

          I have made a request on 27th October 2014 to relocate my connection ([protected]) to my new address. Airtel took nearly a week and came with the conclusion that it is not possible to relocate my connection to my new address. So I asked them to close the connection. However, there is no response for my request instead they are generating bills for November and December and asking me to pay Rs. 1702. But why should I pay the connection that I am not using? Moreover, it is not my fault. It is Airtel's fault that could not relocate the connection and sending the bills for the connection that is requested to be closed. I don't understand the concept here. The customer care person told me clearly that the bill will not be generated please bear with us for few more days while we will try to relocate your connection. But none of the progress happened yet. Please help me to close the connection. In my attachment, you can see clearly that there is no response for the request I sent on 27th October 2014 and same for the mail 29th October 2014. So mailed them again on 11th November 2014. Since there is no fault in my side, Airtel records my compliant date as 11th November 2014!!! and processed bill for the month November as well.

But in Last month(21.10.2014 to 21.112.14) I got bill of Rs.1691.01, I talked to customer care executive, He said that it is Internet uses charge even when I had Unlimited data plan of Rs.199/- as it is unlimited plan I can stop whenever I want, It doesn't mean that company debit me full data charge of closing date. What is the meaning of "UNLIMITED"??? Please heck details & Hope your reply...

              Sir/Madam, I am an airtel subscriber and since last few year i have been noticing that in my Area due to lack of any tower installations Airtel has been the worst signal that any airtel subscriber had experience. Its is very difficult to surf net or call or even detect a single stick network displayed on a cell phone. I want your Airtel tower installation in my area for a convenient network for my people. I have a LPC land plot in favour of my name . Lastly I request you to kindly send your expert from the company and survey my designated area. Name: Ongfan Mirip PO/PS: Bordumsa Village : Goju District : Changlang Pin: 792056 Arunachal pradesh Landmark : Bordumsa Kharsang road near Jawaharlal Nehru Vidhyalaya School.

                      This is with reference to the last complaint which i had reported by calling airtel121 call customer care. (on 1st Dec 2014) for the subject Mobile No. [protected] Some days back i noticed that my mobile automatically getting connected to a number, with no notification / Ringing... and nobody was speaking, only an Urdu kind of song was coming, first i thought its an incoming fake call, and disconnected and ignored. but when i noticed it at the second time. I noted the number(+[protected]) . immediately i disconnected and checked the call history, but the number was not at all on the incoming call nor outgoing callsin call history. I felt its not a thing to ignore and immediately i gave a call to 121 customer care. After hearing full issue. customer care executive confirmed no such call will continue to come now onwards, but after an hour, same thing i noticed... and i gave a call back to 121 customer care. again i explained the full thing and said "i had given a complaint, kindly check". to check they put me on hold, and hold went for more then 10 to 12 minutes, as iam an bank employee i was busy and its 1st day of month in the morning (10 to 11 am) i was not able to wait more then 10, i disconnected and carried on my busy day. As this call never rings nor stays in the call history i never observed after that, but today i received my detailed bill today with Voice Calls- Out going ISD amounting to Rs 5, 400/- Kindly check and revert on this issue. as the bill is done till 1st Dec 2014, iam afraid that still these kind of call is going from my mobile without my knowledge. i had written the same matter in a mail to airtel customer carecare, but respond I received from them is its a hand set issue . Thanks and Regards, Sumanth.RR

                            This company(AIRTEL) is really worst.My complain is attended, but no solution.I am sure this is done intentionally to earn money.Simple equation, if they overcharge even Rs.5/client, one can calculate how much extra money they are earning per day.I don't know how to get justice as a consumer?This happening since last six months>

                              Hello, I am Shyam Sankar. My number is +91-[protected]. This is a complaint regarding the worst customer support I have faced today. I have made an online recharge on 22 november for Rs. 110. However recharge has been failed and I got a message from airtel that the recharge unsuccessful and the deducted amount will be credited with in 4 days. After 4 days, I have called the airtel support and they told to report the issue with the bank. But the customer support from bank told that the they are helpless in this issue as the message is from airtel service so better contact service provider. Today, again I called the airtel customer support and informed my issue. I asked them to provide me a number to sent my msg that I received on Nov 22. But after the call, when I look for the message in my inbox, it is not available to forward. Please let us know how to proceed with this issue? Sorry for my bad english.

                                    I have travelled to USA on 30th October and my bill due amount was 2140 on Nov 2nd. I have written mail to airtel seeking for the process of placing my number in safe custody till i am back in india.Customer service people came back saying that i need make an outstanding payment of 3674 rs including safe custody charges. I have made this payment on Nov 5th 2014. Even after making safe custody charges and paying unbilled amount as well, now i received bill again for 2455 rs for the number which i have not even inserted in mobile after October 30th. You can reach me back on [protected]@gmail.com if you need additional details.

                                      Hello there, I have been using airtel prepaid connection only for data usage. My number is [protected]. I have been using mostly 3G plan and twice 2G plans. It has been perfect in the beginning. Last three times of my 3G recharge of 2.5 GB lasts only for 30 mins to 60 mins o[censored]sage that is mainly to check mails. First two times i thought something is going wrong in my side. But my last recharge on 2nd of Dec 2014 of 3G data of 2.5 GB literally lasted only less than 1 hr. Now I realized that I have been cheated over this and data stealing by airtel. I feel ashamed o[censored]sing this service from a fraudulent provider. Customer care is a big joke. They will just say what you see from 121. I know I have no data left. But I am telling you it is impossible and there is something wrong. The customer care guy again tell me the same thing "There is no data left". This is unacceptable. I hope I will get a responsible answer. Jothibasu Ramasamy
