Dear Sir
With complete frustration and with no one to help us finally sending this mail.
I have been using Airtel Landline [protected]. But I decided to disconnect landline services.
I have spoken to Airtel customer care so many times but of no use. At last with total frustration I have logged a complaint and request for Cancellation of
service . Cancellation Request no: 43289094. we also got a response through sms stating that your number will be disconneted in 7 working days.
But to my surprise today I received sms stating bill for current month that is Feb 2014. When I requested for Number Cancellation I cleared mentioned that
I have paid all outstanding bill amount and no Amount is pending.

Today when I spone to customer care they mentioned that I agreed for Number transfer to my Friend and I agreed on feb 14th. I have not received any call and I dont have any friend to ransfer my number. With total frustration and Feeling that I am beeing cheated by Airtel drafting this mail. For God sake please cancel this number immediately and Do the needful.

My Landline number : [protected].

Cancellation request Number: 43289094

I state once again No transfer and nothing is needed. I want this number to be disconnected immediately as per my disconnection request

Hi..I have just ported my idea prepaid no. to airtel postpaid..I was already using one corporate plan in airtel and i requested for same corporate plan in that new ported connection.. Your executive himself confirmed that i will get the same corporate plan in this new connection as well within 24 hours of number activation... But i just need to call 121 for that within 24 hours of service activation and ask them to merge 299 plan with corporate plan ...My number got activated last night and after calling 121 within 24 hours i am getting informed that corporate plan cannot be activated on my new connection and instead i have to pay monthly rental of 299... I opted for airtel just because i needed same corporate plan but your executive misguided me. I truly believed that airtel customer service is one of the best but such false commitments given by your customer executive has changed my mind now... I would request to please revert whether i can get the corporate plan that i requested for or not..else i have to give up this connection and better go back to idea network. My number - [protected]

My airtel broadband connection with account number [protected] is under the plan of 4MBPS but i am getting only 0.4MBPS which is very very low.I am unable to do my duty and work due to this.this is the third time i am sufferring from this inconvenience.Airtel rectify it as soon as posssible.photo of speed of internet attached.

I got a bill of Rs. 1050.79, but my monthly plan is Rs. 299 (corporate plan), with benefits of 600 min, 1GB data, 250 sms. But I hardly used 900 MB, around 300 min. I'm fed up with your services. If you couldnt send me the correct bill, just tell me the procedure to deactivate the SIM. Sarvanan K - [protected].

My 3g airtel dongle number is [protected]. I purchased 3g dongle on Sep2013 and worked for only 1 month with full speed. From next month onwards it connects at very very slow speed ( worse than 2g), and some times its even not working. I contacted the customer care to solve the problem, but they asked to check my dongle outside my house. But i don't have laptop or mobile that supports this dongle. i asked them to file my complaint or disconnect it, they said first you must pay your previous bill full. I have paid but still they didn't attend my problem and didn't not disconnect it. Still they making bill for every month, i have paid bills like this for 4 months. Why should i have to pay for not using? Very worst customer service from Airtel. The customer care people does not know how to speak to customer. I am totally frustrated with them and the Dongle. So i am requesting you to disconnect the service and don't make bills. Please make action to disconnect ASAP. regards saravanan

Hi, My no. is [protected]. Airtel has automatically updated my monthly credit limit which I have set as Rs 500 to Rs 5600 and generated a bill of Rs 1371. Ideally I have set credit limit of Rs 500 so that I should not pay more than Rs 500 for any month. Also, Airtel has messaged on the start of Feb cycle month that 200MB internet has been given to you but after bill generation of Feb month they are telling that it was for Jan month. But still I am ok to pay Rs 500 as that was originally my monthly credit limit but not more than that as this is a case of fraud. Please look into the above issue. Regards, Shubham

Dear sir/madam I am Raghunandan. My number is [protected].I have shifted my office so in connection with this I had requested to disconnect the broadband connection & shift the land line to the new office two weeks ago.My land line number is[protected] Till date no action is taken with respect to the request.Or I have not received any acknowledgement that it is disconnected.I am getting messages to pay the rental charges though I am not using at all.Details regarding the new address has already been given over the phone to customer care executive. Kindly do the needful at the earliest.

Since last 3 years I have been using airtel broadband. But since the day of installation they have been charging extra amount (for dsl usage charges) that i have never used. Despite to repeated request ( around 50 times in last three years it has not been deactivated. I have also requested for disconnection of broadband but they do not disconnect it. they call at my number of times while I m at my workplace (operation theatre). Last time an executive called me and told waiver will b provided if I make the rest of the payment, but the waiver was rejected. Therefore i intend to lodge a consumer complaint against them for there poor commitments, faulty bills and mental harassment. dr anuj jain AIRTEL BROADBAND [protected] REENA JAIN

Consumer name - Jaiminkumar Shah Mobile No - [protected] Relationship No - [protected] I am using iPhone5s having Airtel 249 Postpaid Plan. In this Plan I have 200MB of Data Usages Free. I have received bill of Rs 2133.56 with data usages of 344.999 MB for the Period of 23-Jan-2014 to 22-Feb-2014. I have WIFI facility at my Office and Home also I am using Data Manger in My iphone5s, which continuously posted me about my Mobile data usages and As per my Data Manager i had used only 186MB of my Mobile Data. Also As per Airtel company policy they are sending Messages to their customer about their Data Usages but i didn't any messages specially if i am crossing my free data limit, they must intimate me. I complain on Airtel website (Complain No - PO[protected] and on 198 also but they didn't give me satisfy answer. They told me that Company had sent me messages three or four time but u didn't receive those, i mean how can this is possible? I have received only One Message on 31/01/2014 that You have used 122.95MB Data and not received any messages after that.. Also they said that it is Customer's duty to keep track of data usages and they advice me to use their data packs so that Ican cut my Data Usages Bill, also they told me that their was some mistake in my Data Manager Software. How can this is Possible, I mean if I am using iPhone 5s(such a high end Phone) how can Data Manager make mistake? and for all my previous bills my data usages tallied with Data Manager Usages then how can this month bills doesn't tally? I am totally shocked after this type of things happen from Airtel like company, Please Help to Solve this matter. Jaimin Shah Mumbai

I have taken airtel corporate sim (bill plan charges -c49 cug 299 ) on feb 10th. I got a bill on 27th asking me to pay Rs 942.37. My monthly charges are Rs. 299 which includes 600 min std/loc, 1GB 3G data, 250 sms. But I have used around 180 min, around 850 MB, 30+ sms, which means I have not exceeded the complete usage limit. This is how airtel is making profits by billing falsely. Im not going to pay until they charge me for 1 month - Rs 299. Indra Chintakayala [protected]

I Aravind S have been an Airtel Customer for nearly 10 years. I'm facing AIRTEL network coverage problem in the below given address Flat # D-03 Ranka Aquagreen Aparrments, Harsha Layout, Off Mysore Road, Opp to BMTC Bust depot (Behind Kengeri Lake) Banglaore - 560060 The problem Im facing is that whenever I enter my residence Airtel connectivity is disconnected. That is, Im unable to make or receive calls or SMS. Hence I cannot use my 3G as well. This is happening for the past 1 month I have raised the same with your customer care agents repeatedly where the following service tickets have been raised. Ref#[protected] Raised on 03 Feb 2014 Ref#[protected] Raised on 06 Feb 2014 Ref#[protected] Raised on 12 Feb 2014 Ref#4 - F[protected] - Raised on 20 Feb 2014 An AIRTEL executive visited my residence and confirmed the fact that the ARITEL connectivity is either weak or does not reach when inside the house. Subsequent to that I have received any update from AIRTEL but without further communication the service ticket has been closed and I needed to contact the executives to open another ticket thus making it 4-5 tickets open for the same issue. Since I have not received any sufficient response from AIRTEL, I raised the complaint to a NODAL office in Karnataka via email and surprisingly there not feedback on the same untill 1 week after which I raised the complaint to AIRTEL appallate authority. Today Im receiving a feedback from the appellate authority that the network coverage is adeqate that there should be an external factor affecting the network like - Building, climate, location of the building etc. My question is - 1. When an AIRTEL Executive confirms that there is a problem with the network at my home, how can this all of a sudden be adequate? 2. I'm still facing this problem at my residence and still ARTEL chooses to ignore. 3. Does adeqate network mean that I need to be in a open air environment to use my phone, shoud there be no buildings to make calls?, should i look at the weather to make calls?

I took postpaid plan two years before for Rs.249.. whereas they have given 600 std+local mins free and 300 std+local sms free... I used to get a monthly bill of around 350 to 450 rupees... but last month i got a bill for 1100 rupees.. when i checked with their customer care.. they said that your plan got changed and will give you only 200 std+local mins free... also they informed me that my plan is not available anymore in airtel... After that 26-feb-14 .. i met Airtel representative in my office and enquired about postpaid plans.. he explained the same plan (Rs.249 -> 600 local+std min) which i took 2 years before.. so still the plan is available... It seems like Airtel cheating customers like anything... simply changing plans them self without any notification and asking customers to pay more... I clearly told them that i am not going to pay until it gets clarified... Regards, Sundar.. [protected]
