Hi! I applied for two connections from airtel on a corporate plan (one new connection [protected] and second via MNP [protected]). The address verification has been done, documents and everything are in order. The plan I applied for is 375 per month (rental) gives me 600 minutes (local STD), 150 local and 150 national SMS, CUG unlimited, 1GB 3G data per month. Recently I got a call from my dealer that airtel has withdrawn this plan. I emailed your team at [protected]@in.airtel.com and they said I need to perform tele verification by calling at 59059. I tried from my current number and it says the number doesn't have incoming call facility. I called up postpaid customer care and they said the order number for both numbers is yet to be generated. Once it is done the number will be activated. Can you please advise me if both numbers will be activated successfully and active shortly (by monday)? Can anyone call me at [protected] Thanks, Ravi

            Dear sir, I took connection of airtel postpaid. with a plan of 299 on tentatively 24 july. after 15 days i received a bill amounted rs. 901 (apporox) for which i was not aware. it is not possible from my side to use such a huge amount in only 15days as i'm a student. i can forcast my expenses thats why i took airtel. Rs 250 has already being deposited as security in airtel and i do not support your false bill. you forfeit this amount, Almost 24 days has gone i didn't use this sim. COMPANY SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW IT's FEASIBLE FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. i already requested you to deactivate this no. till the time you said my balance is 1200(approx) due. and today i got to know by my collegue as company called him for payment RS 1800(approx). i never expect such a enormous company can do this cheap thing. once again its my request to you sir, please deactivate this no. and send me the acknowledgement for no payment due or retrograde the bill amount again. sto calling my collegue for this. if you guys have any problem than please contact me on this [protected]. if the company continues to go beyond the ethics than i assure you that its consequences would certainly be harsh. details ... airtel no.

              I am Yogesh from Hyderabad. I recharged my mobile no [protected] on 27.09.2014 around 10.30 am for 2G 2GB Internet data of 199 Rs. First I checked on its website www.airtel.in in quick recharge option their they mentioned that recharge by 199 Rs. For 2GB 2G internet data. then I recharge Rs. 199 my mobile no through axis bank website but after recharging I received 25000 local airtel seconds instead of 2GB 2G internet data after calling to airtel customer care I told them everything but they are not ready to refund my amount either they have to give me 2GB 2G internet data as they mention on their website or they have to refund my amount.

                Bought from Mulund west gallery on 08/09 on cash payment, document submitted at 10 hrs on 09/09. Call from Airtel on 11/09 confirming verification visit on 12/9' no body turned up enquiry with your company failed to give proper answer, confusing customer. This indicates misleading/ giving false promises to customer I am already holding two data cards of your company, but this decision of buying third card seems to be wrong. Can I return this dongle & claim my money if the activation is not done by 15/09/14. Ravindra Taggarsi Activation required for mobile no [protected] My mobile no [protected]

                    I am using a 4G dongle, the data usage in 9 days reached the maximum limit under post paid plan of 5GB what I have. According to me it should be maximum of 600-700MB as I have not downloaded or uploaded anything. I am using internet from last 8 years and I know how data usage works. It was ok in the first 2 months o[censored]sing dongle but in the 3rd month for no reason maximum quota got over in 9 days! when I asked about this with Airtel customer care, they have no clue but that is what they can see as an usage in 9 days! I can't provide any proof to support this. I had heard this issue about 4G from many of my friends, now it is my turn to experience.Airtel 4G is exploiting customers.

                        I got your 2G plan on 30th Aug'14 paying Rs.155/= for one month validity. Now I am getting a message saying it is valid till 19th sept'14, what kind of cheating is this, if I dont hear from you immediately, you will face the consequences. While speaking to your executive Mr. Karthik, it is a new plan and on request to put me to the team leader he puts the call on hold without transfering is this the way you treat your customer.

                        I got a message saying there is a 3G internet plan for 257Rs,
                        1GB internet pack for 30dyas and 100Rs TT.

                        But i recieved only 500MB.

                        I tried calling customer care, and they are not picking up the call.

                        This is really fraud system. We should bring in a law to sue these kind of Companies.

                                    Hello Airtel Team, I have a 3G data card and I have moved out of India, so I wanted to disconnect/deactivate it. I have been trying to deactivate it from past 1 Week. I called your customer care numbers lots of times. I sent emails, But no one has taken the deactivation request. I had sent an email yesterday and it says we will response in 24 hrs but no one has responded yet. I am not sure whom to contact now as I have tried through all the channels. Deactivation is getting delayed without any of my faults and then extra money will be charged to me. Could you help me with this. I am really tired of calling airtel customer care number. My Airtel Number is :[protected] Thank You, Jagadish

                                      This is to inform that Airtel customer service is horrible. I got my mobile 3G service recharged but my 3G was not functioning. I called up Airtel customer service several times to help resolve my problem but every time I was told that the issue would be solved within 24-48 hrs. Still the 3G service is not working. Customer experience at Airtel is becoming worse day by day. Also when we call up their customer care, they keep us waiting for several minutes. Inspite of spending money I haven't got a useful service. At the end although I am using bad language but I would like to mention that Airtel service "sucks" !!! Airtel kindly improve your service else you'll be out of the market...
