Airtel 4G LTE connection number: [protected] From 28th May 2014 (Wednesday), there was no network available for which a request was raised on 29th May 2014 (Reference number:[protected] For this I was contacted by Mr. Sudarshan Dighe (Contact no. [protected]) on 31st May (Saturday) and it was confirmed that he will be reaching to troubleshoot the issue same day by 5pm However he did not arrive on that day or any day later on 1st June, I contacted airtel customer service and I was informed that the issue 56483179 is falsely closed stating that the problem is solved. Based on my interaction, I was informed that the issue is escalated and I will get a resolution within 24hrs On Monday 2nd June 2014, I contacted the customer care and found that no one was willing to look into the issue. Hence I raised a request to cancel the connection I had to call 3 more times before finally the cancellation request was raised on 5th June 2014 (Reference number:[protected] On 13th June 2014, I have received a bill for connection usage until 10th June 2014 Hence I sent a request to send me the bill only upto 29th May 2014 as I was not provided any service after that date.

Hi, I am really disappointed with Airedale services. Have given several calls to customer care and always get to hear from them that there is some technical issue so please call after 2 hours. Tired giving calls almost 20 times but still same reply. Seriously I don't know whom to call as they are not even serious to solve customer problem. My Outgoing calls are being blocked as I have not paid my bill. Reason behind that is the bill added with some fake calls and Internet usage. Its cost more than 2k(for 2 months) and as you can check my monthly usage bill amount does not exceeds 500 Rs. So just need response from your side like can i expect a call or should I have to take other serious action against you. Really fed up !!! Ph No -[protected]

I approached to airtel showroom in karnal, address: pns telecom, h-35, ambedkar chowk, karnal-132001 with address proof (Rashan card/ adhaar card)to update my address, but the airtel representative refused to provide me such service for the reasons best known to her.
Kindly intervene the matter to resolve the prolonged captioned issue since jan. 2014 for not issuing me paper bills since jan.2014

i am saranga satapathy(nabarangpur, odisha) and i have been using airtel Internet services on my mobile phone for the past 6 years.last 2 month me & my friends are not getting Internet, but network are OK, when we visit other place internet network are there available, we are complain to supervisor & S.e, but despite of complaining again and again no useful action is taken against the complaint and every time i get assurance for a resolution but nothing has changed . i am frustrated with the kind of service airtel is providing.if someone can suggest me a strict action against them please contact me at [protected]. i have checked Internet s my friend's mobile and he also same problem in last 2 month if i don't get any resolution sooner than i would have no option other than switching my network provider. the airtel tower is near nabarangpur bus stand (dist-nabarangpur) odisha

I have done recharge of rs. 145 (500mb 3g data + extra 500mb data 28 days) through airtel website on jun 18 01:31pm.

But i didn't get the extra 500mb data till now.

I have contacted the customer care, but they are telling that there was no offer there like that now.

Now i came to know that each and everytime whenever doing the recharge, we need to take the offer's screenshot for proof.

I am a post paid users of Airtel for last five years. I am facing network problem from last one and a half years. I so many times logged complaint for my problem but there is no response. many time i missed important calls, today on 02 july 2014 at12:10 PM I called 121, and want to register my complaint. but the exeucutive denied to register my complaint and told me to switch on to other network. I am very much hearse the way airtel respond. I am now thinking to switch on to other network because I think Airtel do not need valuable costumer. Rajiv Dhiman

To The Service provider, I have been called by one of your channel partner of name Viyania Business Solutions Pvt Ltd whose address details etc I will attach in form of the cash memo which they have provided me while taking money amount of Rs.300 for selling a postpaid connection saying that nowdays Airtel takes this amount to issue any postpaid connection. They told me this Rs. 300 will be refunded to be as it gets deducted from the billing amount for the 1st 3 months, which is also difficult for me to believe now after seeing all these fraud games. After taking this amount and documents they did not submit the docs to airtel ( As told many times by Airtel 121 and 198) and neither taking my calls to resolve the problem for last 4 days. So as a harrased customer should I conclude this as Airtel is also a crime and fraud partner along with this channel partner of yours? I guess both are equally responsible and action should be taken against both unless my problem is addressed and resolved.I am attaching the cash memo provided by them using which filing a case in consumer form will be easier but am willing to do an FIR to file a criminal case of Fraud done in the name of selling connection by airtel. Details of the offer given:- (Neither has been done as docs were submitted, the deal was offered just to take Rs.300 from me and not to serve me with the service promised in exchange of it) Existing connection - [protected](prepaid) to be converted into postpaid New Connection [protected] (Prepaid) to get activated Attachments area Preview attachment Money receipt.jpg Image Money receipt.jpg Open with Displaying Money receipt.jpg

I am Yogendra Sharda, associated with Airtel by taking its services for more than 13 years now, still I'm facing a lot of trouble with the customer services. I feel like I've been mislead and mistreated by the company through its executives.I hope this forum will help me get the issue resolved, I want to share my bitter experience which I recently had while taking Airtel Broadband connection at my home in Raipur C.G. I've been Airtel Broadband Customer since 2005, however due to some reasons I had to discontinue the connection for an year but this March I needed the connection back so I applied for a new connection and PAID Rs.3600/- under the 6-month broadband connection plan on 26/03/14 in my name- Yogendra Sharda, LandLine no of this connection.- [protected], Receipt no. 11410. Some how, as told by Airtel, due to technical reasons the connection did not work out, hence I went back to Airtel office and asked to give proper connection or refund of the money. Airtel confirmed that connection cannot be given so they would refund the amount of Rs.3600/- IN ONE WEEK. The week passed off, NO REFUND GIVEN, on reaching them back they said money will be refunded in 15 DAYS, NO REFUND AGAIN. Now, after SO MANY FALSE ASSURANCE AND INCONVENIENCES, reaching back they say that MONEY WILL NOT BE REFUNDED AS IT IS LAPSED ! I seriously do not understand that after deluding me by empty assurance, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY LOSS???? WHY am I not getting the refund??? IS THIS NOT THE ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY OF BHARTI AIRTEL TO REFUND THE MONEY TAKEN FOR THE CONNECTION IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE THE CONNECTION? I expect a detailed look-through into it and get my hard-earned money refunded, simultaneously letting the commoners also know of the cheat and mistreatment by a big firm like Airtel which boast so much of its so called 'customer care service' Thanks Yogendra Sharda [protected] Raipur, Chhattisgarh

I called customer care many times because i am not able to change my hello tune and i am not getting any proper answer from customer care member. Lekhraj singh from customer care dont know how to talk and was not giving proper solution. He was not hearing to my problem properly and was abusing.

I have been using Airtel network ([protected]) for the past 5 years since January 2011 which was registered in December 2010. I bought the SIM by submitting all mandatory ID and address proofs. Few years later, I received a message from Airtel stating that I have to re submit all my documents which I submitted in Airtel outlet, Saidapet, Chennai. On 16th June 2014, my SIM started showing no service. And I lodged a complaint that evening to a customer care representative who assured to resolve the issue by 19th June 2014. But the complaint was not understood in the right perspective and not redressed till date. I had made a personal visit to the relationship center at the Express Avenue at Chennai but was not responded in a positive note. I have made several calls and spoken to nearly 5 to 6 representatives to get my issue resolved but I did not receive a call back even after escalating to higher levels. The service representative says the SIM has been registered in some other person's name instead of mine all of a sudden after nearly 5 years. Further I have last recharged for Rs.160/- on 16.6.14 which could not be used by me. When I am using a Prepaid service, they opt for change of the plan to Post paid by paying some initial payment which will not be reimbursed and why should I change the plan when I am comfortable with the existing one. This number is in use by me for all my references and communications which affects my tele communication badly and I am not in a position to know about the calls I received in this number which may even affect me financially in my official career and my banking transactions. How the number which was used by me for nearly 5 years can be in another persons name all of a sudden as whenever I seek any clarification or redressal of issues, my name is always registered by thier service desk. I have been put to much hard ship and mental agony for nearly two weeks now and I seek redressal of my complaint through your forum as due to the fault of the service provider I am put to much inconvenience and hardship.

(Account Number: [protected]) I have been a customer of Airtel mobile ever since I started using mobile phones. For the last two years I have been using Airtel postpaid services as they offered some good plans under corporate CUG scheme. Since Airtel is a respected brand I never bothered to look into the itemized bill on a monthly basis. Last month in June'14 I thought of looking into the itemised bill that they send. To my surprise I realized that the bill plan has been changed. Also based on my usage pattern they have changed the scheme in such a way that I end up getting no discounts and paying extra bucks for my calls. I called up the 121 customer care and to my utter surprise they have no clue on the bill plans and asked me to check with my company HR. When I dropped a written complaint to their service team, they informed me that the bill plan has been changed back in January'14. They refuse to accept any mistake on their part that they need to inform the customer as it was me who was feeling the pinch in the pocket. Finally after a lot of discussions over phone they made a correction for 3 months and credited the amount to my account. However their manager made me feel that by paying 50% of the loss amount that I have incurred was more than a favor that I could have asked for. All o[censored]s using postpaid connection get number of emails/calls/sms as reminders for bill payment. When it comes to a change in service plans which adversely affects end customers and not Airtel they simply wash off their hands on taking any responsibility to make the system fair and transparent. Postpaid customers are cash cows who end up paying higher rates on call charges and get pathetic service as the company understands that the switching cost for end customers are high and can be taken for a ride. I am highly dissatisfied and feel cheated after using Airtel for years. Its sad to see how much they value their customers! Is there any way I can get my loss recovered?

Dear Sir, I am using airtel broadband service from long time. Service No: [protected]. I have applied for a half year plan on 01.03.2014 where I have to pay for the 5 months rental in advance and I get 1 month free. And I have got a confirmation email from airtel on 1st of March confirming that my scheme will be activated from 28.03.2014 as per the billing cycle. Now airtel has not activated me on that plan and asking me monthly mode payment and telling that the plan is not available. When I all ready I have confirmation email from their side. And they call two or three times a day for the monthly mode payment, when I was ready to pay for the 5 months advance rental. They don't listen at all. I have send email to the customer care and then only they have inform me that this plan is not active after 4 month of request plan. Please help me in this. Thank you in advance. Manan
