      Retail store sold the airtel plan sum of rs 2696 as an offer price of 1800 the actual plan expiry should be one year but with in one month the plan shows as expired. I called the airtel customer care and registered the complai but the customer executive says it was a breach done by retailer . Recharging the customers saying 1800 for one year plan and then cheating by updating them with one month plan . I was wondering the airtel app also shows as one year plan validity at the time of recharge and within one month the app shows the plan expired. In order to enquire more on this I called customer care again and the breach happened on the airtel system. Not only me more than 1 lakh people were affected due to this issue said by customer care I have all the records spoked to them ready to share at any time .

      We all see airtel as a trustable network. But the recent breaches happened to their system shocked us . Airtel failed to keep their security safe . And as a trustable customer we are affected due to this still we have not got any response and resolution from airtel . The customer care keep on saying still they have not received any update on higher authority. Please check and resolve this issue not only me my family and friends also affected due to this issue and we are totally dissatisfied with the airtel service due this this issue happened. Please check and do needful . Thanka

                  Address: Airtel, Mumbai

                  I requested a new Airtel broadband connection on 2nd September 2021. After a week of Airtel sales person, Mr. Kamlesh Singh, telling me everyday that the connection will be done tomorrow, I got the broadband started on 9th September 2021. I had taken a 200 mbps plan for Rs. 999 monthly. On the day of installation speed test showed that download speed was only 70 mbps and upload speed was 60 mbps. The Airtel technician that did the installation took the picture of speed test and said he will raise a complaint. Since then I haven't heard back anything from anyone. Till date my download speed has been between 40 mbps to 90 mbps and upload speed between 30 mbps to 100 mbps. On top of slow speed there has constant disconnection for 5 to 10 minutes multiple time everyday. The biggest pain has been that for the entire afternoon broadband was disconnected due to outage for 3 out 6 days I have had this connection. All the customer service can tell me is that there is some work happening in my area. 3 days has not been in a row, it has alternate days. I have to use my phone hotspot to do my work and no one from Airtel is willing to provide a permanent solution. I am not sure for what service do they expect me to pay them Rs. 999 every month.

                    I had done monthly payment for the airtel DTH with transaction I'd S6246984 for Rs. 300. Amount deducted from the account but app is not reflecting the payment. I tried to reach Airtel customer care but nothing helping. For which they are referring back to Bank to consult which is totally unfair on their part to give complete service when I am using airtel app.

                        The issue that I have experienced was: I had raised an request to cancel my service (broadband: [protected]) on 27 Aug 2021 and I received a call from an agent named Abhishek where he insisted me to continue the service. Upon rejecting the he offered me 10 days of free rental for the usage of the internal. I tried to reject this offer too but he insisted to give a try. I just accepted and removed the entire connection and wiring. I again called and placed cancallation request on 3rd Sept.
                        They accepted and generated bill for 685 for the usage. when they say it's free and why should they charge the amount.
                        THis is total fraud and should be notified to department of telecommunication

                        It occurred on: 3/09/2021

                        please educate your agents to check the complaints and read comments
                        and cancel my charges

                            I raised a request regarding shifting of my broadband connection on 6th September 2021 (request no[protected]. But my connection is still not shifted after 9 days of raising the request. I called customer care everyday and they kept me saying same thing that they have escalated the case and my connection will be shifted by the end of the day but it's still not shifted.
                            And not even a single technician have visited on my address till date.
                            This is causing me problem in my online classes and in prepration of my exam.

                            I have also already paid ₹3500/- for 6 months plan and not using the internet from 10 days.

                            My request is that shift my connection asap.

                            After I submitted the complaint and also dm airtel on twitter a person from airtel called me and he kinda sound frustrated and told the the area is not feasible and told me to share the otp with him so he can close my broadband connection but i didn't gave him the otp and told him that your company told me that just wait for some days your area and everything is feasible and you connection will be shifted and that too for straight 15 days and now suddenly on 16th day you are saying that my area is not feasible i didn't replied to this and kept asking for otp but i didn't gave him the otp and hanged up the call. After that i told this situation to airtel twitter team and they also said that my area is not feasible and they we're lying because my neighbour whose house is just next to me has airtel broadband connection so i told the same to airtel twitter team and suddenly after 24 days of raising the complaint to shift my connection airtel engineering called me and said they are coming to shift my connection and my connection got shifted.

                                  I was not informed that plan will be changed from 299 to 349, I never gave the permission to airtel company to do so. After calling the call centre they replied they have sent sms now a days who has time to go through sms this is the not the way to change the plan u need to call customer if he is ok then u can go ahead & change the plan. If airtel is no longer having 299 plan that’s not my problem. I never gave the permission for change of plan, this is purely cheating the consumer. I don’t want to continue with airtel, request the company to take the bill payment as previously new payment I will not pay.

                                    I received below message and the recharge was done under DTH connection. I entered my FIBER ID [protected] only and then it shows recharge done successfully.

                                    How it can be possible if my put FIBER ID but it recharged for DTH.

                                    URGENT! To avoid service disconnection for your Airtel Xstream Fiber ID [protected], please pay Rs. 2829 at the earliest. Pay via u.airtel.in/qCDYxnmC4Opl . Pls Ignore if already paid.

                                    I have only broadband connection and I do not have any DTH connection. I am attaching the screenshot for your reference as well. I am sharing the call recording as well in which refund was promised to me.

                                    I have broadband connection but recharge was done under DTH connection of another person's account.

                                    I live in Delhi but customer service told me that DTH connection is registered for person who lives in Gujarat.

                                    I want my money back. That was website glitch who did wrong.

                                    I am writing since last month, you can check all my emails. Also, I would request you to LISTEN all the call recordings and see how pathetic people you have hired.

                                    I called many times regarding my payment issue.

                                    On 6th August, 2021 I recharged my broadband and paid Rs. 2829 and I really don't know how the recharge was done under DTH connection. However, I have only broadband connection not the DTH.

                                    Then, I sent many emails and called you as well then came to know that recharge was done under DTH connection not for broadband.

                                    So, one of your agents told me (between Aug 23 to 26, I don't remember the exact date) will initiate the refund and I will get within 5 to 7 business days.

                                    But I didn't receive the refund and after waiting for so many days, I called on 9th September, 2021 and then agent told me that I will get a call regarding refund and you will get it on the same or next day.

                                    I got a call and I shared the transaction ID with her and then she confirmed that I will get a refund within 24 hours on the same source of payment which is Paytm Wallet. Even I got text message for the same as well.

                                    I waited for 24 hours and then again called and then your agent told me that refund was never promised to me and it has been denied. He started lying and told me that his system is not working, tools are stopped working and due to this unable to fetch my account.
                                    I asked for the supervisor and he denied. Supervisor didn't take my call and agent said that he is not available. I insisted him that I want to talk to supervisor but he denied. And at last, he offered a call back. And I mentioned I need a call at 8 pm same day.

                                    I again waited and called them again as I didn't receive any call back from you because your employees did not want to work.

                                    Then I explained my story to new agent once again and the agent said that he is transferring my call to the supervisor. And you know what, what you supervisor did. He put my call on hold for more than 30 mins. And he was just unhold and hold the call without talking to me. It shows how customer oriented people you are. If they didn't want to work then you can simply deny na that you don't want to work. WHY YOU HAVE HIRED SUCH RIDICULOUS PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK.

                                    And then I disconnected the call and again called your pathetic customer service. Then again new agent told me that my case is open and I will get a refund by end of day before 12 am or by next day for sure.

                                    So, I am going to wait for today and if I will not get it then will call you again plus I am going to leave this message on social media, consumer court plus police stations.

                                    The world should know how pathetic people you are. And how you took someone's hard earned money and didn't give back.

                                    You can listen all the call recordings specially for 9sept and 10 sept. However, I have all call recordings as well and will surely publish it everywhere.

                                    I have contacted paytm and they said you have received the payment.

                                    Why you people are lying. Refund my money.

                                    Below is the text message I received from paytm:

                                    Paid Rs. 2829.0 to merchant at[protected]:05:10. The merchant can verify it through SMS or Business App. For queries, visit http://m.paytm.me/care - PPBL

                                      Hi Team,

                                      I have taken internet connection for Airtel Broadband and I am waiting for its connection to be done.

                                      I am not getting any proper response from Airtel Customer care team why its taking time for installation. I have done payment on 12 Sept 2021 at 10:17 and I got message that technician will contact you within 24 hours.

                                      It has been more than 24 hours and no one has contacted me and I am getting response from technician team that they are not able to see my request yet with them, not sure where it has been stuck and why your technician team is not able to see it.

                                      Can you please take necessary action on priority as its impacting my work.
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                        I want to complaint about Airtel, their app not working and my remaining data is not showed so I have to recharge for extra data whenever I am having data speed issues. After recharging my browser loads to https://one.airtel.in/rcconf which never loads to anything
                                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
