Hi This varun i am using airtel IPTV since last 2 years . last month i had some issues with my connection so i raised a request online n over the phone also. so tech said my computer is not working now call us later. i suggested him i am free only for today, i wouldn't be able to complaint again n register my complaint. he said it;s ok. n cut the phone when i received my bill it shows i have to pay same amount which i usually paid every month. but my iptv was not working for 8-10 days. so i called him guys he said i cannot give any resolution. n we have deducted 100 late fee. then i complaint again online through service request, they have closed all my service requests. so this is happening with me . y should i pay full charges. please give me resolution ASAP.

3 month ago i brought new airtel connection ([protected]).
I usually do recharges using Internet, airtel.in or paytm.com.
I wanted to recharge for a internet plan which i check on the service *567# provided by the airtel, and for more detail i checked their website airtel.in and saw the plan as follows:
Rs 149 - unlimited internet(2GB+data) for 30 days.
i tried to recharge using airtel.in Online recharge service but it did not went write. i tried twice but even after my online payment was successful it did not happened.
i called customer care for support but their response was poor.
i tried using the paytm.com and recharged successfully but the result was wrong
i got 1500 airtel to airtel minutes instead of the unlimited internet. this way i lost 149 rupees for nothing as my airtel to airtel calling uses is very less. again i called customer care and they told me that, "you get internet plan on RC149 if you do recharge from airtel.in or else from airtel retailer". i went to do recharge from retailer and again recharge for rs 149 and again i got 1500 airtel to airtel minutes instead of the internet plan. this way i lost 298 rupees unnecessarily due to the wrong information placed on the airtel.in and on *567# service.
following are the recharge details.
also there is another wrong detail on the airtel:
when i dial *123# to check my balance a plan is displayed there : unlimited internet for 1 day dial *567*1# but when we dial, it displays invalid option please dial *567#

the unlimitid internet plan is actually of rupees 148 on internet which on their service *567# and airtel.in is not mentioned. which i saw after getting second time wrong recharge on the offer banner on the retailer's wall.


1. recharge amount 149 using paytm.com on 20-December-2012 near about 5PM
2. recharge amount 149 from retailer on 20-December-2012 near about 7:30PM
i called customer care from my number as well as other airtel number but instead of providing solution they put me on hold and disconnected.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I recharged my airtel prepaid number [protected] of Bihar circle of amount Rs. 1000 from online recharge site PayTm.com and according to PayTm and airtel, the talktime that had to be given is Rs. 1000, but airtel didn't gave talktime Rs. 1000, instead they gave Rs. 877(approx)., which is clearly a cheat. Upon calling airtel they didn't resolved the issue.
So, request you to kindly look into the matter and please resolve.

Thank You
Nirbhaya

respected sir,
I m a airtel broadband customer([protected]) from chennai location i want to change my current bill plan 999(unlimited plan) to 449(unlimited old plan) i made a call to customer care for change of plan but as customer care said that my plan cancel request is forwarded to cancellation department for change of plan but i could not find any link to put my request for bill plan change. so i request for bill plan change and kindly change my current bill plan to 449 my contact no is [protected].

Dear Sir/ Madam,


This is Basker. I recharged my airtel prepaid no.([protected]) through online, for Rs.34 which is a special recharge, which will give me 75 local mins, and National+local sms and valid till 4th sunday from the date of recharge( according to the website https://pay.airtel.com/PrepaidOnlineRecharge/mobileRecharge.jsp). But once i done it and tried to message and call, it said i cant make a call and the msg doesnt go as well, when i contacted the customer care they said i have to have atleast min Rs.1 in my account for msg and call, then i top upped for Rs.10, and send msg, for which airtel charged me Rs.1. neither i got the 7 local mins, when i tried calling back i never got line for more than week, so i want airtel to active the above said pack, and to carry on the validity from the day of activation and to refund the charges that are charged for sms even i when i had a pack in place.. this is very very wost service from airtel and the customer care executives are not even aware of the plan, its pathetic.

I have utilised Airtel Broadband services[protected] and have disconnected it in the Month of April, 2012.

It was really a horrible experience and have disconnected their useless services, as their services are highly unprofessional.

Despite not utilising the broadband connection for almost two months , I have honoured their payments and have decided and disconnected their services in April, 2012.

To my shock, vide e-mail dated 06/11/2012, Airtel has claimed an amount of Rs.2231/- for some land line number [protected] for which I have replied duly on 07/11/2012 that the land line number and mobile number mentioned therein doesn't belong to me and have requested Airtel to claim the same with the appropriate person and requested it to remove all my personal details from its database.

Vide various e-mails dated 07/11/2012, 07/11/2012, 08/11/2012, 23/11/2012, 26/11/2012, 10/12/2012, 17/12/2012, 17/12/2012 and 19/11/2012 which are self - explanatory in detail and has requested Airtel to act upon.


At this juncture, on 19/12/2012, a letter was received from Airtel dated 05/12/2012 specifying the subject as "Outstanding Dues on your airtel land line" and the contents of the letter too claims that it has not received any response to its previous tele - calls/ Field Visit & letters which is incorrect, since the emails specified supra is a concrete evidence that I am in continuous touch with them.

Immediately, I have called Mr.Balaji (I was interacting with him through telecon for number of times) of Airtel in the given mobile number [protected] at 07.20 P.M.on 19/12/2012 from my Mobile no.[protected] and sought for the clarification in respect of the frivolous letter dated 05/12/2012 from Airtel's end.

Mr.Balaji has informed me that it is a computer generated letter and he has no control over it which is his repeated dialogue and that I am listening to it for the Fourth time.

Mr.Balaji has also confirmed me that he has escalated the subject matter to his higher officials and further awaiting further confirmation from their end to do the needful in respect of my concern.

Despite my continuous and consistent follow -up with Airtel, Airtel continue to forward frivolous and vexatious e-mails and a letter dated 05/12/2012 is also forwarded.

Airtel indulges in utmost cheap practice that a letter has been prepared Just a two (or) three days back but pre - dated the letter as 05/12/2012 whereas I have received it on 19/12/2012. I am a resident of Chennai and the letter dated 05/12/2012 is posted from Chennai, but I have received it after 14 days which reveals the fact that Airtel predates the letter and indulges in cheap and unfair practices.

In the meanwhile my problem remains unresolved and some miscreants with their mobile number [protected] and land line number[protected] , misutilized my residential details.

It is pertinent to note that the Mobile number and Landline number referred supra does not belong to me.

At this juncture, I have left with no option other than approaching the competent forum for the mental harassment caused, suffered and Airtel shall be held liable for consequences at its cost.

Hi this is complain against airtel office of delhi who check documents and other verifying details for landline connection. We had 2 airtel connections which were suppose to transfer into another address all the documents submitted with an acknowledgement of its receiving. After some time Airtel customer center called and again asked for documents my sir had a discussion with airtel office that documents already submitted but they don't care about it and asked for documents again we submitted documents again but still airtel service did same and after few days again asked for documents we really got tired to follow airtel's bad service their customer care executive abused during a conversation with our sir this is really a very bad example of a private service yet i used to like airtel before but this incident made me disliking airtel.
Finally we had to disconnect all number of airtel

I have prepaid airtel mobile, i recharged it with rs 98/= for internet pack on 12/12/12 at 8 pm , after a while i started surfing the net but imdtly the complete balance of rs 85/= from my call account got consumed and internet switched over to internet pack and kept workingi lodged a complaint viz no CBDMO[protected] and i was assured that my amount will be recredited to my call account but nothing happened and i again called 198 viz ref no PR[protected] dtd 13/12/12,PR[protected], 14/12/12,PR[protected] dtd 18/12/.12, but no response came from airtel, when i again enquired with 198 surprisingly i was told that the charges taken for internet were correct as the system had not activated the internet pack and i should have waited prescisely for one hour for the same if this be so as described above the internet should have stopped automatically after the call account was empty but it was not so, it proves that a company which claims to be the best in india is using unfair trade practice to make profits. In similar incident earlier company admitted that it had made a mistake and refunded my amount. The company does not take fraction of second to charge and activate useless services which unknowingly you subscribe to and there is no system to confirm that any individual wants it or not, and the same company while activating the internet pack is giving all non valid reasons.The response of customer care executive was derogatory as he was more into telling me my lack of knowledge of grammar and english.

I am A subscriber of Airtel Prepaid Mobile and my mobile Number is [protected]. today night I recd a msg from AT-AIRINF stating that "Thank you for choosing SUPER4_15 on your airtel mobile. you have been charged Rs.15 for 15 days and your account balance post charging is Rs.18.24 at 03:25." Actually I had not sent any request for any value added service. Kindly do the needful to stop the va service and to credit the amount deducted from my account towards the above service.
Please stop these service and refund the amount to my mobile balance.

Hi,
I have been using airtel digital tv connection for which I have made a 1 year advance payment in which sports channel were also included like ESPN, star cricket but as of now cricket matches have started on these channels they have barred the services for both of the sports channel listed above and started to demand extra money for subscription of these channels which is quite unfair, if I have already subscribed for those channels for a year included in my subscribed package then how can they barred the services in between. Airtel Customer care people are telling me that they have barred these channels for every customer subscribed before but it seems to me quite unfair if someone has paid for it in advance.
Please do something as they have made their usual pattern to steal the hard earned money of customers.

It is with great frustration that i am putting this on Facebook. I had purchased an airtel prepaid 3G Sim 15 days back from a retailer in Sulur, Coimbatore. The phone number is [protected]. All the documents and photograph were provided with the same. The number has still not got activated. i have contacted the airtel customer care through the alternate number given in the application form ie [protected]. The customer care even after contacting for 3 times have done nothing about it. The retailer says that the verification process is not completed as he is getting the message that the above stated alternate number which i have given in the application is not responding!!! This is absolutely ridiculous as i have not received any call from airtel since the time i have got the sim. the number of the nodal officer at Chennai is also not responding. I feel i have wasted my 300 Rs on AIrtel. There has to be some one who has not done or doing his job. Need to get this issue sorted out asap. The retailer Mr Suresh has expressed inability to get things done because someone from your customer service desk whose job is to verify the details is either claiming false about calling up for verification or not doing his job. The contact number of retailer Mr Suresh is [protected].

AIRTEL CUSTOMER CARE - A FAKE CALL CENTER TO JUST MAKE MONEY
Whenever you call Airtel customer care, On the daily basis, the response from AIRTEL customer care reprensentative
is "SYSTEM UNDER UPGRADATION... CALL AFTER 4 HOURS"
When you call after 4 hours, they repeat the same liners.
When you ask them for to transfer call to senior department, they just put your
call on long hold and later says "All seniors are busy...."
They are also not ready to provide Call interaction id and refuse to register
the complaint (so no complaint number)

I was having issue in my generated bill and 3G internet connection, for which i
am regularly calling paid AIRTEL customer care number [protected] since last
many days but perhaps getting NO RESOLUTION.

If we call toll free number 198, call land up in gujarat from noida.. They used
to say "We are helpless.. , call paid airtel customer care number [protected]"
I tried reaching Bhawna (NCR airtel head) also, but she is also unavailable..
Her number is on IVR which doesn't let you to talk to her without complaint /
reference number.

I have already spent a lot of amount and time in calling AIRTEL customer care.

Even raising issue to [protected]@in.airtel.com, seems to be helpless.

It seems AIRTEL cusotmer care support, is just making money out of their call
center from customers like any FAKE CALL CENTRES.
Please look into issue with utmost priority and provide resolution.

HIGHLY DISSATISFIED WITH THE KIND OF SERVICE PROVIDED BY THE AIRTEL CUSTOMER CARE.
