i had a plan in which i was given a discount of rs 100 on all local calls.You had changed the plan to only air tel to air tel free calls . now i haven't being given discount on all air tel calls my fixed line no. is [protected] . please consider
Hi,
I have paid airtel mobile bill ([protected]) at Lucknow however I have not received any acknowledgement message for that, instead the customer care people are harrasing and asking for bill payment.

This is third time in a row that , I have paid my bill but that is not acknowledged rather after the bill summation date is over they charge late payment charges.

Please look into the matter I am also attaching my communication with airtel and scanned copy of my payment receipt. Please give me resolution within 24 hours.

Thanks,

Vidushi Shukla

    I applied for MNP on 10/8/12 for which i got a call from Airtel Saying that my call rates will be deducted if i cancel my request so did i, but nothing happened even after 48 hrs.
    So I called 198 where i was told to call [protected] where the Customer care executive FOOLED ME telling me to call [protected] which AINT AIRTEL SERVICE NUMBER.
    Then I called again on [protected] where i was now told YOU CANNOT GET OUR BENEFITS (you were a fool to believe us).

        I had the worst experience with airtel, one by one they are canceling my airtel numbers,which were on my own original id proof.
        The airtel service centre in Leela bhawan, patiala. Their own servers are failed. They refused to take proof for my number more than 10 times.they don't know how to behave to your customer. even a uneducated is better than them. When i purchased a new one from the dealer, today its outgoing has been stopped. and the customer care executor has only one line to say," main app ki koi sahayta nhi kr skta." even the dealer never submit the proof to the company. If complaining here will be taken seriously, I will appreciate it...

                    Had been using Airtel for more than 3 years and airtel customer service is getting pathetic day by day..
                    My Airtel Digital TV has not been since 1st August 2012 and its been 12 days still my problem hasn't been resolved.
                    Airtel has got the most pathetic service in market and it even doesn't know how to work in a service industry.

                    Airtel field engineers tell us to replace whole of the dish on personal basis in less cost than airtel.
                    so what the hell is happening in airtel service and i would suggest every person in market not to subscribe to airtel service.
                    Dear sir,
                    My Airtel digital TV Customer ID - [protected]. I have launched the compalint of my set top box in last week. My set top box is not working. But till date my problem has not been resolved. Now i am cheking the status of my complaint the Airtel customer care system says problem is solved. My dish is in warantty. I gone to dealer but even he is not giving proper responce , he is saying call the Airtel. I am wasting my time & money to call Airtel customer Care. From my account the daily subscription amount is deducted instead of the service.
                    Please i request you to do the needful.

                                Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

                                I had been using Airtel Mobile Connection since 2009 while I was in Bangalore. That was a post paid connection. I moved to Mumbai on August 2011. Since then I had been paying monthly minimum rental of my existing connection of Bangalore as I there were chances of my moving back to Bangalore. But in February 2012 I thought of cancelling my Bangalore connection of Airtel. I called the customer care services of Mumbai Airtel and they guided me with Karnataka customer care number as Mumbai customer service cannot take any request for Karnataka circle numbers. I immediately gave a call to the Bangalore number and I was told that next day I would get a return call from Airtel and this would formally end up my connection. I was not at all convinced and told the customer care executive how can he assure that the call would come. Why couldn't he cancel the connection during that call itself. But he assured me of getting a return call the very next day which have never come till today.

                                Now there's another story before that incident happened. Before I called the customer care, I had come across an option to cancel my connection by logging in to my account in Airtel website,going to service requests and selecting the request category as Surrender a connection. Along with that I had to provide Contact Person, Contact Time and Alternate Contact Number also. But finally when I submitted my request I received a message denying my submission of the service request. The message is "We are unable to process your request. Please try later. Sorry for the inconvenience" marked in red. And to my surprise this message is still being displayed today whenever I try to submit my request. I kept on trying intermittently for the last couple of months but I got the same message. Now this is just a trick not to entertain cancellation of connection request.

                                On 6th August 2012, i got a mail from Corporate Collections cell of Airtel asking me to pay my outstanding amount non payment of which will force them to initiate further course of action.

                                I have been a loyal cutsomer of Airtel and had always been paying my bills on time. I had used Airtel internet also in Bangalore and faced the same cancellation negligence which somehow got resolved early. What annoys me is that if analytics is no strong today and Airtel can provide us with usage details in every monthly statement, why don't they use their effort and technology to mine out loyal and disciplined customers instead of bittering the relationship with such customers. I faced similar kind of problems during my Airtel connection in Hyderabad. But still I cannot change the person in myself. I feel satified to be good with the service providers and hence be loyal in making payments.After all Airtel serves us just like we serve somebody else in the industry. But this time I am annoyed. They deliberately don't look into such issues in their web site so that these stop the customer from cancelling connection.

                                So I request to take this matter of mine into serious concern and make the country's so called best provider of mobile services aware of their major loopholes in their service delivery mechanism.

                                P.S. Please find attached the screen shot of the error message that is displayed when I submit my service request.

                                Thanks

                                Airtel mobile connection — service cancelled

                                I have been using this number since a decade.I had requested for the DEACTIVATION of GPRS services on my cell in Jan2008.I had also paid its charges for next 6 months without even using it.It has not been cancelled even till date.

                                Neither the extra money paid is been adjusted, nor the rectified bill have been sent to my address.

                                Only my SERVICE has been Deactivated, even though my bill payments are always on time.

                                Regullar written complaints on mail, to their offices or verbally to call executives at their help lines seems just WASTAGE of My TIME...
                                WILL IT REACH FROM HERE????

                                      I am the user of Airtel Mobile No [protected]. On 10 Aug 2012 my balance have been deducting wrongly by the service provider stating that the balance have been deducted on account of internet browsing charges, But as well as my memory is concerned i have not used the internet of the company. The company is totally telling a lie as despite deleting all my setting from the browser profile of my mobile the deduction was remain on, Thus i am feeling harassed by the service provider financially as well as mentally. Pl do the needful.
