Hi, I just activated the 38rs whatsapp pack, then I started using whatsapp alone from my mobile. Later I realised that I have been charged from my main balance and I called Airtel customer care. One of the customer care executive gave me some instructions to use that pack. I followed his instructions and started using the pack again. Then I again noticed that I have been charged from my main balance. Again I called customer care and approached them. This time a very harsh executive attended my call, I demanded for my money which I lost (nearly 50rs) and I also requested him to cancel my whatsapp pack and give me a refund ( that pack is not going to help me anymore). But he rudely said me that we wont refund you any money. He also said "if you want to use this pack, use it or don't" and the saddest part is, he himself dropped the call without getting any response from me. I had a very worst experience ever. I never expected this from Airtel. Very disappointing. If you could solve my problem, I'll be thankful to you. Thank you.

          Hi The Airtel relationship centre at PCMC near DY Patil College YCM Pune is charging Rs 50 for new sim cards and they are not ready to give you any receipt of Rs 50. A new sim card should be of Rs 25. All other service provider take Rs 25 an they give you recipt also. What should I say If someone is charging double and that of not giving you any recipt, A fraud or a Cheater, Can any one help me wiith correct way of lodging this incident to higher authority. Many Thanks.

            Iam writing this mail after repeated attempts to get help from your customer care services which put my calls on hold for over 15 minutes and then disconnected abruptly multiple times today. I had taken an airtel dongle and the connection 3G is activated on it since approx. last 2 months, its number is- [protected]. I have been having problems with it the entire day. When I click on the option connect after attaching the dongle the message comes - The modem or connection device is already in use or is not connected properly. I reinstalled the programme also and tried it on a different laptop also but then the message flashed-the remote connection is not working properly. I am a doctor and need to use the net quite often so I cant tell you how much it affected my work, but the most stressful part was trying to get help from your helpline number. Iam deeply annoyed and disturbed by your customer services. I managed to register a complaint after 7th attempt of calling, Complaint No. 5779921 . I sincerely hope this mail of mine does not go unanswered otherwise you will lose your customers .

                  Hi, I am Kunal. My number is [protected]. I had taken airtel connection in CUG grp. Its a post paid connection for last one year the bills were very less after 1 year my bills started increasing and they were charging too much on data charges. I only use whatsapp, emails and sometimes facebook but I dont think using these apps can cost me 3000 bucks. Please try not to fool people and charge them on data charges. U people cannot give explanation on what I have downloaded. You cant just randomly charge. I need a proper explanation on this. KIndly get back to me at earliest.

                    Hi Airtel Team, I opted airtel Tech Mahindra 299 corporate connection which contains 5 Gb of 2G pack on 12 aug 2014. i conformed 121 customer care officers that I satrted postpaid connection on 12 aug 2014 and 26 aug is billing cycle so how many Gb of free internet uses my pack contains. They conformed sevral times that i will get 5120 MB of 2G pack in current bill cycle. after this conformation this internet uses mail surprised me that after 2312.258MB i have to pay extra charges which i had not informed before 2G plan activation through sms/email, and when 80% 2G uses allert came "Your mobile Internet usage as on[protected] is 1885.3Mb which is 81% of the built in usage as per your mobile internet bill plan. Post consumption of built in usage, you will be charged Rs. 10.24 per MB Mobile internet bill plan active on your airtel mobile [protected] is 5GB GPRS Free Therafter 10p/10KB Without Rental " On 26 aug, I called 121 officer and again conformed that my 2G plan free uses is 5GB and this alert is with wrong figures of 2G uses limit, the same airtel officer conformed. After that on 26 aug evening around 6 Pm I found my 2G service barring ( disconnection ), I informed that i will get 5120 MB of 2G but this is not followed, i am not able to use 2g internet plan and invalid data charges of Rs 10942.77 for data use. One more question My credit limit is Rs 500 and i conformed to 121 officer that call & data uses will not exceed Rs 500 after this limit then why bill is data uses charge exceds more than Rs 500 any how. I will write complain on consumer form & blogs that airtel bill misguided me and harassed me by barring (disconnection ) of 2G internet for invalid regions . This billing issue came across me twice by airtel and many of my friends are also suffering from charging money for invalid reasons so we will collectively go to airtel office and consumer forum and complain against this if these issue is not resolved soon .

                          Today I recharged my airtel number with an amount of Rupees 49 for the night 3G pack of 1GB data, at around 3:30 pm. The recharge was succesfull, but the the pack have not been activated till now (1pm), I called customer care service several times, one time they picked the call and didnt respond, other time they told me to hold and then hung up. Now I can't use internet as it deduces my balance since the pack has not been activated. Now as it ticks 6am my 49 rupees will be wasted.

                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                Someone called me from +[protected] few minutes before and telling me that his name is Rohit Gupta and he is calling from Airtel and they are not able to return my payment on my credit card and he was asking for my other bank ATM card details.
                                I provide the details of ICICI debit card which have no balance and I'm not using it.

                                He asked me dabit card number, expiry date and cvv number I provided the same but in last he asked me pin number which I denied. He said I will get my payment only when I share the pin number with him.

                                Thank god I'm not using that card.

                                Is there any way to take action against that person??

                                  After selecting a recharge of Rs 330 for number:[protected] on date 27 August 2014 transaction was shown successful in Citrus but failure in Airtel window.Transaction amount is already subtracted from my account without any refund. I have already reported my issue to airtel via sending email to [protected]@in.airtel.com. But I am yet receive any reply. whats more frustating is that every time i tried to lodge complaint in Airtel portal, upon entering verification code its showed me message "please enter valid verification code as mentioned in black box." Its like it is programmed to not to accept any complaints whatsoever. This leaves consumer no other option but resort to consumer forums. All I hope is to get my money back

                                    I bought Airtel dish from my friend(Customer ID: [protected]). I'm unsatisfied with their price and offers. So I plan to disconnect from their service. I did not recharge to the device for the last few months. I got lot of calls and sms from Airtel customer care, Recharge, recharge, recharge... Basically, I'm not interested with their service. But, they wont to stop to promote. I don't know what I can do. So, I suggest you, If you have plan to buy a dish, Don't choose Airtel. It's irritating service. They will disturb you until the end., Thanks

                                    Hi,

                                    I got a call from Airlel support executive, They gave two option to stop the calling service

                                    1. Surrender the device (They wont refund anything, but we need to surrender stop the stupid calling service).
                                    2. Continue recharge (Already, i'm not satisfied with their service, then why i need to choose this option)

                                    Most of my friend also facing this issue.

                                    So please consider this facts, before buying airtel dish tv.

                                    I hate their service fully.

                                    thanks
