I am using post paid no [protected] from airtel and using a data plan of 375(1GB 3G data free). My billing cycle period every month of 8th to next month 7th. Last month bill tariff was revised. I did not get any messages or mails about the revised tariff. As per my bill plan i have used only 1GB mobile data. Now my mobile bill was about Rs.1115. While conducting customer care they are giving useless answers. They told according to data flow rate they have charged. I dont know about data flow rates.But have consumed only 1GB. Airtel customer care officer Kavitha from santhome zone did not give any responses and careless. I want she has to apologize about this issue. If not giving proper answers i have to complaint this issue in court.

    Bill for my airtel number[protected] used to be generated around... . However, since the last 2-3months it was not being generated on time. I contacted Airtel customer care in this regard a number of times (reference number s... dt...) for resolving this issue. However, even after repeated complaints nothing was done. Now today I have received a message that I should pay the bill amounting to Rs.within one week to keep the services on my number continue. I have been not given any detailed summary of the bill. I am surprised at the level of callousness of you people. While my repeated complaints regarding my bill not being generated have fallen on deaf ears, on the contrary, I am being sent such a message as if it is my fault that the bill has not been paid. I hereby ask you to disconnect my number with immediate effect. I am just not interested in availing telecom service from a provider to whom I have paid all my bills on time and even requested for generation of bills on time and yet the service provider has the audacity to send me such a message. Before I pay the bill, I should be sent the complete bill mentioning the period for which it pertains to, with complete itemised details like call details, Internet usage etc. Only then I would deem fit to pay the bill. I may also be apprised about action taken on my repeated complaints on your customer care regarding non generation of my bill, complaint numbers for which I have given in the first para.

            I'm used Airtel Broadband [protected]. I give the cancellation Request through airtel customer care. They said you bill amont will be cancelled when you change the sim postpaid in to prepaid and they give the reference number for that. The reference number is 56503084. I went to local airtel service center to change the connection in to prepaid but they wont accept that and each and every month they raised the bill for that unused data card. Kindly reject the service and cancel the bill amount. For any queries contact me [protected]

              Worst part is Airtel is accepting that they had got the call from me to barred the services. But still the number is in active status..

                      without any approval from the customer they have changed our plan and started over charging us and when we register the complain with cal centre they have de activated our number inspite of no outstanding. brand airtel is providing worst service since they do not have healthy competition from Bsnl. Trai should take action against such companies which are providing un necessary trouble to the customers.

                        Renjith R Haripad, Alappuzha Kerala renjithmanu.[protected]@gmail.com [protected] SUB: ISSUE ABOUT AN EASY RECHARGE MAULPRACTICE Sir I made an easy recharge of amounted Rs. 251/- on at 07/09/2014. It’s a recharge through I got 2GB data for 60 days, but on 09/09/2014 it’s banned. When I made a telephonic conversation I got information that this all due to the reversing request by the retailer. But when I reach there I knew it’s a mistake from the Airtel authority. To solve this issue I contacted several times with the customer care section of airtel, but they were misleading me and don’t give any proper solution to solve this issue. Also I’m contacted with the nearest airtel outlet (Dreams Communication, OPP: MSM college, Kayamkulam) due to the reference of the Airtel customer care executive, yet I didn’t got any solution because they don’t have any service to solve this.

                          I have an ip tv connection on my no. 40167100, with internet connection. 5 days back my IP TV stopped working. When I put in a complaint, someone from Airtel did come to check. After one hour of trying they said that our connection has been discontinued. Though we have not done so. Then they told us that we must call the costumer care at Airtel to reconnect. On calling the customer care they say that their computer shows that the ip TV was never disconnected, so they can't take the complaint. Now there is no way that we can get this right. And our IP TV is still not connected and we can't even put in a complaint. Our internet is working though. Please help me sort out this problem

                              I have switched from Airtel to Aircel due to terrible customer service. They are highly disrespectful to the customers and even after I had asked for the switching of the network I got a call from a number [protected] to enquire about why I am switching over from Airtel to a different network. I told her that money is being deducted unnecessarily and she went ahead to argue that I am being deducted for the service they provide. I told her logic dictates that its not possible for download of data at 5G speeds in India (yet) and she was very rude to me despite me being calm and told me instead that I am rude to her to say its a horrible service (what did she expect--words of joy that I'm glad that Airtel periodically deducts money from my main balance and I would rather prefer to pay donations to them daily?). What sad service is this? Do you not care about customer satisfaction? Keep this up and there won't be an Airtel one day (which is actually good as there would be less dissatisfied customers). I am happy that I have taken the right decision to switch and am certain that the customer support and service will definitely be much better on other networks compared to this. Please do not call me again to disturb my work. I am not interested in any offers or even if you return my money I wouldn't be happy as still you would be doing injustice one way or another. I will definitely ask my friends and relatives to switch as well. The service has been the most horrible experience of all. You don't know what its like to go recharge hard earned money just to see it disappear a couple of seconds later without even enjoying the benefits of it!

                                    My mobile no.[protected]. Airtel has added internet charges of about Rs.700 in August 2014 bill for the first time in 10 years. I told airtel I have not used internet in my mobile. I asked them the details o[censored]sage like number of hours I used the internet, name of websites I have visited, log-in and logout timings, data used by me in the internet. So far airtel is not able to submit the records to me regarding my internet usage. This month I have not received the bill for Rs1416/- from airtel. But airtel have already withdrawn the amount from the Bank. So i have decided to change the mobile service provider from this month. Therefore please refund my deposit of Rs4000/- initially You collected from me ten years back. Regards. Manikandan

                                      Hi, I am new to Banglore and I have taken a new airtel sim card ([protected]) on 7th September 2014 of Banglore circle for Rs 120. I was told by the dealer that my sim will get activated on 9th September 2014, and I need to call 59059. But when I tried it shows a message " Not registered on network" .And is continuously showing up the same message. I called customer care on 9Th september 2014 night when they said sim would get activated in 12 hours. But when I tried after 12 hours it still shows same message. Now customer care excecutive and her manager too says there is no problem from their side. I just wonder what could dealer do in a sim card activation when customer has submitted all the docs and even airtel verifies that. Please help me with this on ASAP. Khushboo
