I Wanted To Diconnect With Airtel Broadband Service As I Am Not Getting Proper Service And Speed! My Account No - [protected] My Landline No - [protected] Please Disconnect This Broadband Wi-Fi As Soon As Possible! My E-mail ID - [protected]@ymail.com

I had applied for Airtel 4G connection online. Some guy Named “SIVA KUMAR” from Airtel had come to my address wearing Airtel ID Card. He explained me about the packages available and told that, if I choose 12GB for 3 months package I will get dongle free. I opt that package.He told me to pay 4500 including taxes. So, I paid. He gave me the Customer Relationship Form. Please find the number below. By keeping in mind that he was Direct Airtel Employee, I never suspect that he will cheat. He didn’t give any receipt for the money I paid. I thought customer Relationship form is enough for proof. Once my 1st bill get generated on[protected], I came to know that I am cheated because I was expecting first 3 months should be free. Later I tried to reach him, some days he didn’t pick the call. I message him saying that I am going to escalate on him. He replied he is not well.(I can provide you the message conversation as proof happened between us) After one weak I called him back but he didn’t replied and there on he added my number in his reject list. So, I could not reach him. I am furnishing the details what I have below: My Airtel Number -> [protected] * Amount -> 4500 * Date of payment -> 12/7/2014 * ARC/AEO name -> Not known * Collection agent name and phone number if collects from customer's place. -> (Mr. Shiva Kumar, Mob: +91-[protected]) * Receipt Number -> Not provided. (I have only Customer Relationship Form # KKPB701045) Customer care people are playing with me asking same details again and again and they are providing with irrelavent replies.

I am using airtel mobile sim (post-paid) for past 2 & a half years ( #[protected]). I am getting phone call that I got lottery by airtel for Rs 2.5 Lacs. The caller is asking to give account number etc. Please let us know what it is? Caller # [protected] Regards

I simply want the correct process / procedure for immediate conversion from post paid to prepaid. No questions answers or feedback would be provided. As mentioned by all others service is really pathetic. Please drop an email to arvind.[protected]@gmail.com for forms and checklists asap.

Actually, a few weeks ago, while recharging a new Airtel no. of mine [protected] through online recharge portal paytm, I falsely entered it as [protected] and a recharge of 220 got transferred to the user([protected]). When I called him and told him about the false recharge, he told me that he would recharge my number soon with 220 to pay back. That's it.. Since that day, whenever I call him to remind him of the recharge, he intentionally lifts the call and pretends that there's some weak signal and cuts the call. It's been some 20-30 times. He did the same thing. I take this as a serious issue as it's a large sum 220/-. I request you people to consider my situation and file a complaint against this user. I'm hereby enclosing a copy of the transaction I did, as a proof. Please check it.

Hi Team, I have purchased new Airtel DTH Connection by paying 2650 /- with new set top box along with 12 months free subscription via online on 6th February, 2013.But later prior to installation, I found that there was misleading and false information from your side, and I requested a full refund of Rs-2650/- and the executive and his supervisor has logged in refund request on behalf of me on 8 th Feb. I called repeatedly to customer care Executive and they informed me that my refund request has already been processed from their end on 10th February, 2013 itself Then after few months of struggle and harassment I finally able to reach them they ensured that it will be refunded and asked for few more information. But still they made fake commitments. I escalated to their Nodal officer with no use. Few more story of refund check are being arranged, was told to me.. I waited in vain for nearly a year. Until I ran out of fuel to fight against the humiliation from a reputed MNC. I left the hope of receiving my hard earned money back 3rd December, 2013. However I came to the forum after hearing that you fight for common people against injustice. Today is 25 th August, 2014 . More than 18 months have been passed still have not received a single penny. Looking forward for your help. Attaching the few of the mails of my struggle and humiliation. Thanks and Regards, Jit Karan System Engineer TATA Consultancy Services Mobile :[protected] Email :[protected]@outlook.com

After sending multiple e-mails regarding my post paid bill for which I am getting overcharged
nobody had botherd to call me up, I had specifically mentiond that I work during the nights and call me up
between 10 am to 12pm on monday however nobody had called me up, I waited for hours and hours and no respond

I never had such worst service ever so far, I'll never recommand airtel to anyone.
your representative says that no service can be acitivated on my number without my permission and later your people activated the internet pack on my phone without my consent and charging me Rs.3500.
this is not accepted.

I was trying to recharge a booster on Airtel.com and unfortunately it was not going through and popped up some errors, when i contacted the 198 complaints - the rep simply asks me to switch off and restart the device, i was laughing and asked him "Sir i'm telling to you there is some error on the site and you're telling me to re-start, are you kidding", that's it.. He hung up the phone.. I sent an email to nodal officer and didn't got anything positive. Below are the details.

Do you still think there is nothing wrong with the Airtel website! When i called the customer care he simply said "Switch off your mobile and try again", haha - do you think is this a way you treat a premium customer, are you kidding me. I'm coming to you with a problem in your website and a service rep simply told me to restart my mobile.. Also he thought of waiting for my response, he just simply disconnected the call, that's it. I'm highly disappointed with your service and even after contacting a nodal officer i still didn't received a valid reason, you still pretend there is nothing wrong at your end. I never thought India's No:1 network Airtel treat a customer like this. One thing i was very happy was i thought of switching over to postpaid plan, i'm happy now at least i've a chance to switch over to other carrier.

I was trying to do a 63 booster recharge for the past 12 hours and it is not going through, it says some sort of error and i really what's wrong with the airtel site.

i have applied for blackberry Internet bundle plan for Rs 399/- on August 22, 2014. The amount was deducted from my overall balance. But I'm unable to use the service. I called customer care & they asked me do certain follow up checks. In spite of it, I'm unable to use the service. Calling blackberry customer care is a nightmare.

Dear AIRTEL,
You have deducted my balance of Rs.155/- as a internet pack. (I have already activated this pack at retailer) from my account got Mobile no-[protected]
Kindly look into this matter urgently and resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Note : 1) "Dont eat food by two hands"
2) As discussion with your customer care & they are said we will give back 100 rs. only & finally come 125 rs. What is this?
Plz. note that every customer are important.
I want my balance back Rs. 155/- on war footing basis.
With warm regards,
Rajeshgouda

My Airtel number is [protected]. I have recharged power of Rs. 54/- on 17/08/2014 at 11:16am. The call rate is actually 1.4p per 2 secs. But the rate that is being charged currently is 1.6p/2 sec. which is NOT justified. Moreover, the validity period of this power is 5 weeks. But I am getting it for 4 weeks (28 days) only. I talked to the customer care executives for a couple of times. Mr. Prosenjit Halder, one of the executives, with whom I talked for the last time on 21/8/2014 at 08:36pm refused to admit the fact even. Today, 22/08/2014, I called on a number [protected] at 9:38 pm for 11:13 mins and the call charge was Rs. 5.39/- i.e.@ 1.6p per 2 sec. Please intervene into the matter so that the company solves the problem of wrong higher call rates as well as rectifies the validity period of the power. It is also requested to credit the extra amount to my balance which was wrongly deducted as call charges.

Dear sir, By mistakenly recharge rs 100/- to another number ([protected]) instead of my number ([protected]).so this is my humble request to u pls recharge the same to my number ([protected]). Recharge done through PAYTM Paytm reference Id no-[protected] Regards Hanumanthu [protected]

I hate to recharge the number I they take my money. Please help immediately. They are following fraud practices. Alvin George Bangalore
