    I recharged my No with 200/- for talk time but after recharge when i called up at one place and i came to know that my all amount has been deducted. then again i called up at call centre then agent told me that this recharge is for GPRS activation and for talk time it is of Rs 201/- and before recharging my account i have already called to call centre and agent told me that we have only Rs 50, 101,200 & 441 for talk time & dealer told us you will get the talk time in Rs 200 recharge. and after this wrong deduction i called to call centre then another agent told me that we have Rs 201 top up in which you will get the talk time.

    Now pl tell me every person is giving different information and i don't know who is giving me correct information.

    My 200Rs got lost due to this wrong information which is giving by your agent & dealer.

    pl return my money back or else i am going to left this No.

    Hi,

    My airtel number is [protected].

    airtel is automatically subscribing sevices on its own and deducting money from prepaid account. Yesterday when I noticed that money is getting deducted I immediately stopped all the value added services. Today again they activated astrology alerts on my number and dedcted 30 rs. This is total fraud. Please refund all my money that you deducted in last 4 months.

    Thanks,
    Manjary
    I recharged my number i.e [protected] (Airtel) with Rs. 10 Internet pack on 15th april 2013. This pack gives usage of 100 MB . On that day my number was having main balance of Rs.50 . When i was using the internet facility with my same number, the balance of Rs. 50 deducted from my account and at that time about 6 MB were left out of that 100MB. Due to this, I compliant to the airtel consumer care and they told that the same amount will be refunded on 17th april 2013. But no amount has been refunded by them till now. I have tried for so many times to the customer care number but there is no response. I have also tried on their no.[protected] for which normal call charges apply, but no response is there. Due to these calls i have also expensed the amount and my time.
    Now I want Rs. 50 to be refunded and the compensation for expenses and my time which i have lost due to this issue.
    Hoping for favorable and immediate response.
    Thank You.
    It is intimated that Rs 65 has been wrongly deducted for my mobile no [protected]. Please revert the same amount in my account.

      I lost My Mobile Number
      Dear Sir/Madam,

      I am cheated by Airtel.

      I am very surprised that My airtel Number [protected] which I was using from year 2006 has been suddenly deactivated & allocate to another person without any information.

      How this can happen whereas I was using this number continuously. I also have recharged this number on Nov. 24, 2010. I was receiving continue calls & SMS on this number, then how it could be permanently deactivate & give to another person without any information. Airtel has deactivated my service on Dec. 29, 2010 & allocate this number to an new person on Jan. 19, 2011, Just in 20 days. I was out of town this duration, When I came back, I found that my all calls & SMS are going to a new person. I immidiatelty complait about it to Airtel, but I did not get any satisfactory reply.

      I have specified this number in my various bank accounts & alerts. All the information is going to the new unknown person.

      I have logged my complaints with Airtel lot of time, but their officer are anly giving one answer that "the number has been permanently disconnected due to non receipt of the documents.We regret the infeasibility to reactivate the number as the same has been allotted to some other customer." Whereas I am continue replying that I have not received any information to submit any document.

      I am very much scared about my all personal details are going to a unknown person & there can be any misuse with my personal details.

      This is really very seviure issue, which Airtel officers are simply ignoring. There may be some criminal offence with me as my all information is going to a new unknown person. If there will be anything wrong with me Airtel will completely be responsible for it.

      I hereby like you to look into the matter & do te needful.

      Thanks & Regards,

        Dear Team ,

        Would like to bring into your notice that Airtel debit money from accounts of customer with out any reason. I have purchased the number and got Rs 30 as balance. After sometime , when i checke the account , Rs 20 was debitted from my account. Again i recharged my number with Rs 50 . Again Rs 40 was debitted from my account. Airtel people told me that I have downloaded a game called Nazara.... However, firstly , i never downloaded any game .. secondly ... there is no game called nazara in android market.
        The representatives at airtel in Andheri customer care took this thing very casually and instead of assisting me.. they simply ignored.... I was told to contact 999 from the landline number, they were also help less in understanding the issue.

        This is nto the first time with Airtel. I have used Airtel sims in Chandigarh , Bangalore and now in Mumbai .. everytime the same issue ... sometime .. they say ,,, u have downloaded game .. else, they activate the caller tune,.

        Airtel got the worst service.. They are such a big brand and just cry for 5-10 - 15 rs.. everytime they deduct money.

        Ph [protected]
        boss .. wat z the customer care and .. ur contact centres doing.. they don even listen properly.. i am using corporate number and services are best on that.. y am facing the issues on pre paid number?...
        i too had the same problem, they took 35 Rs. from me, when i contacted airtel customer care, they said i downloaded something from nazara.com
        airtel has been cheating everyone and no body is complaining, is there any way to file a complaint through court? if so i will complaint against airtel and if you got any same problems let me know - [protected]

              Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

              I had bought an Airtel corporate connection for my office, Under an unlimited plan of Rs. 3,999/month which gives 2 mbps speed without any usage-policy.

              I bought the connection thinking i will start my office in few days, but due to some other issues, I was unable to start the office. So i thought of placing my number in safe custody so i wouldn't get billed as per the plan I'm subscribed to.

              I called up Airtel customer care, told them i would like to place my number in safe custody and the executive said I'll be charged Rs.400/month until i request to release my number from safe custody, I agreed to pay Rs.400/month and asked him to place the number in safe custody, he confirmed the same and told me the number has been placed in safe custody and from the next bill I'll be getting Rs.400 bill instead of my plan charges.

              Since the office wasn't started and i didn't go to my office location for about a month or 2, Airtel had generated bills and sent to my office address as per the plan i was subscribed! I had no idea the bills are being generated as per plan and are being sent to my office address until i got a call from collection agency asking me to pay the outstanding amount of Rs. 4,000 (Approx. including taxes.etc.), I told them i had placed the number in safe custody and how can they generate a bill as per the plan. They said they will check and get back to me. I kept on getting calls for about a week, Random people calling from collection agency and asking to pay the outstanding amount, I had to explain the same thing to all and they were all saying same thing "they will check and get back to me". But no one ever got back to me with the details of safe custody request i had placed.

              Then suddenly i stopped getting calls from Airtel collection agency and i thought they checked my request i had placed for safe custody and this is why I'm not getting any calls. This went on and Airtel generated another bill for another month of Rs.4,000 (Approx. including taxes.etc.). Once again I'm not aware of the bill being sent to my office address as i was not going to the site and was busy with my other work.

              After few days, Once again i started getting calls from Airtel Collection agencies asking me to pay outstanding amount of total Rs. 8,000 (Approx. Including taxes.etc.) for 2 months bill. I told them the same thing about my safe custody request i had placed on my account and they were saying the same thing that they will check and get back to me but no one ever got back, then finally i was bomber-ed with lots of calls from airtel (like 3-4 per day at wrong timing) and this time threatening me to take legal action if the outstanding is not paid and the connection was already disconnected, I never used their line even once and in spite after placing the request for safe custody they repeatedly generated bills as per the plan and continued to call me and ask me to pay them.

              Since the time was going and i didn't pay the bill all because of their collection agency telling me they will look into this matter of safe custody request and get back to me as soon as possible, Once again another bill was generated and a total sum of Rs. 12,000 was my outstanding and more calls started this time and one of them even scammed me!

              I asked them how much i need to pay to get the connection activated, they said i need to pay only Rs. 6,000 and they will activate my line again, After few calls (They wanted to discuss with their seniors), I agreed to pay the amount they asked me and they agreed to activate, when they sent their person to my place to collect the payment, I paid him cash and he called up his manager to confirm and that manager spoke to me and promised to activate the line within 24 hours or i can call him up if it doesn't get activated.

              48 hours pasted, I kept on waiting and then i called up customer care to see if the payment was updated and when the connection will be activated. The executive confirmed the payment and here's the shocking part, he told me i still have an outstanding amount of Rs. 6,000 and the number will never get activated until i clear the remaining outstanding amount on my account, I explained him everything about the conversations i had with that manager, executives who called me up to ask for the outstanding and about the safe custody request i had placed but they still generated bills. He took note of everything and placed a complain and told me one of their executives will get back to me on this matter.

              He gave me request number, i noted that and was waiting for their call, I never got any call, so i thought of calling up CC myself and follow-up on my request i had placed. When i said i had placed a request about my matter (Had to explain him everything all from start), he said there is no request on my account, I quoted him my request number and he said the number shows no results and there is no request placed whatsoever.

              I was so pissed of this and he took the request again and told me I'll get a call within 7 working days, Same thing happened again! No call from airtel and now i started to get calls from other collection agency for the remaining amount and this time i spoke directly to the manager from start and he said I'll get a letter from airtel saying the outstanding is settled and there is no balance against the number i had, I had to explain him everything about the previous manager and the amount i had paid and he just said the number cannot be activated until the payment is cleared and if i don't clear, they will take legal action against me. Now I said I'll talk to the other manager and get back to them. I called up the old manager several times and he wasn't picking up any calls, after trying repeatedly for few days, he finally picked up my call and when i explained him about this another outstanding amount airtel is asking, he said he doesn't know anything about this and he has just uploaded my funds and had forwarded the request to activate my number.

              Again i was pissed because of all these things happening and airtel never got back to me on this matter but those collection agency used to call and trouble me, I decided to clear the outstanding amount as i didn't want any legal issues because i usually have to travel abroad for my current business and if i had this legal case, then i wouldn't be able to go and everything would have been messed for small amount, When this manager called up and gave me guarantee saying they will activate the line and I'll get the settlement letter from them and there will be no problems hereafter. I agreed to just end this matter by paying the amount, so i asked him to send his person to my place with the letter copy and i had told him to mention that they will activate the line after the payment is cleared in the letter, he said he will mention and when i got the letter, he didn't mention they will activate the line and it had just mentioned the payment is fully cleared and there is no outstanding, seeing this i called up that manager and asked him why he didn't mentioned and he said this is a settlement letter and that cannot be mentioned and he takes guarantee for activation and all the stuffs, After disagreeing to him as the other manager had told me the same thing, He started talking roughly and threatened me saying if i don't clear, I'll end up in a legal action and they know how to collect the payment from a legal way, As i mentioned early i didn't want to get into any legal fights, so i just paid him and again same thing happened, the line never got activated and 1-2 months went by but no one is there to care, when i called up CC, one says different story and another says something else, some guys used to say the line will be activated after i place the request over the phone, so i placed the request and they give their so called request number which are just fake, this went on and after following up with them after 14 days (they had told me within 14 days the number will be activated from the day i place the request), quoted them with my request number and again there is no history and no request, I just wonder what these CC people do, either they don't know how to place the request properly or the whole system is built to cheat customers by simply generating fake request numbers which have no history as per other CC executives.

              So yeah, I had to place another request and i got no response for my request. When again i called up CC, this is the time when i came to know the number has been fully removed from my account and it cannot be activated whatsoever. I was pissed once again to know that i ended up wasting time, calling them and even paying for the number i never used. Since the payment was cleared, the guy told me they can give me a new number if i request them. I had no other choice other than placing this request and anyhow the number was not distributed to anyone, so that was really not a problem for me, He placed request and told me within 3 working days they will send their people to my place to collect documents again!

              It took them over a month just to call me for the new number, but anyway the office was not yet started, so i was not in hurry and the delay was fine with me. They sent 2 guys to my location and these guys collected my documents, submitted and it got processed normally like a new connection and I got a call from installation guy to config the BB. I asked him to visited my office in evening time as i was busy with my other work. He visited my office and the BB was activated, then as usual airtel called me up to confirm he installed and asked few questions and at the same time, I once again told him i won't be using this number and would like to place this in safe custody, he once again explained me same thing (Rs.400/month charges..etc.) and this time i had subscribed for Rs.1399 plan as the corporate plan was withdrawn. So the person who had called me up asked me if he has to place the request for safe custody and he can do it if i tell him to do so. So i said okay place the number in safe custody and he said he has successfully placed the number in safe custody and they won't generate bills according to the plan but will charge Rs.400/month.

              So once again, The office is not yet started and i don't usually go to the site, Bills were generated by airtel as per the plan (Rs.1399), they had sent 1 month bill and since i wasn't knowing they were sending the bills, the due date for the first month crossed and I was still unaware of this. They generated second bill and this is when i came to know as airtel started to call me and ask for the outstanding amount, I asked the amount and i thought it would be Rs.800 or around that including taxes.etc. because i had placed the number in safe custody, but the lady told me it's around Rs.2,000+ I was confused at that time and told her I'll first talk to CC and then pay them. When i called up CC asking them for more details on how many months bill it was and why it was Rs. 2000+ they said it's as per my subscribed plan. This is when things started to go wrong. I explained him about the safe custody request and once again same thing happened and he said there is no request in my account and this is when i really came to know the process of safe custody!

              He explained me i need to first clear the payment, then go to airtel outlet and give them written request and then only the number will be placed in safe custody, I told him the first guy never explained me this process and he had told me he has placed my number in safe custody and then i told him i would like to file a complain against this matter as this was the second time they attempted to leach money from me and he said i have to email airtel at [protected]@in.airtel.com, I sent an email explaining the whole matter and this time i threaten them to take legal action if they don't resolve this issue.

              I got a call from a guy called Anoop and he seem to be nice and then explained me the whole process and i explained him the old matter and this current issue with them and he said there is no request for safe custody hence the bills are normally generated and there is no issue with my account and i told the guy whom i spoke to at the time of installation didn't explain this process and just told me he has placed the number in safe custody, He wanted me to prove him, He said he can't help me if i don't get any proof for that request i had placed, Now i never thought they would do this again and scam me, otherwise i would have just recorded the call between me and the person whom i spoke at that time.

              Their whole system is built to scam people!

              Summary:
              1. They won't explain the process properly to place your number in safe custody and just ask you if you would like to place it or not and if you tell them to place the request, they say they have successfully placed the request and they will also give you fake request number (Though i never got any request number from them for safe custody, but for any other requests, they give you the number and when you follow-up, there is no history on their systems)
              2. They will generate bills as per the plan you are subscribed and if you explain them and tell them you had placed the number in safe custody, they will just waste your time saying they will check and get back to you, this is their tactic to generate another bill, they do their best to make sure they generate as many bills as they can to leech more money from you.
              3. If you don't pay the amount, the collection agencies will trouble you full day asking you to pay and if you explain them the matter, they simply don't care about anything and just say they will check and next day same thing repeats and you yourself end up paying the amount after they threaten you to take legal action and you get pissed of getting so many calls from them.
              4. If you threaten them to take legal action and ask them to resolve the issue, they ask you for the proof and tell you there is no request on their system, since the systems are owned by them, controlled by them we can't do anything and just end up having no proofs and even if they give you their so called request number, they won't have any history, So basically they scam and then clear the history and blame you only saying you didn't place any requests.etc.

              The above issues is still going on and I'm still getting calls, now i just decided to clear the payment and just disconnect their service, since i have nothing to proof (obviously they didn't explain me the process correctly and on top of all this, they blame me only saying that's not how the safe custody request is placed and asking me to prove them.)

              Conclusion: STAY AWAY FROM AIRTEL, THEY ARE THE NUMBER OF FRAUDSTERS IN INDIA AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU HAVE THE WRITTEN PROOF.

              P.S. If they want written proof of your request, then why the hell they have Customer Care in first place! And If they call you, they don't record your call and if you call them and place the request, they do record but they will never give you the clip if it proves them wrong, but if you're wrong, then they will bring up all the call logs/recorded clips/account history.etc. and prove you wrong.

              Airtel — Won't fix bill

              Airtel charged me Rs 4500 for GPRS that I did not have.
              I brought this to the attention of their customer service agents and this is what happened
              1) First response - "The charges are valid ma'am." (Bbb but I don't have that service dummy)
              2) Second - "I'll forward your complaint, we'll call you back regarding it." ( but they never do)
              3) "Please pay bill or we'll disconnect your phone." (But they haven't fixed my bill yet.) "That's your problem ma'am please fix it as soon as possible" (But how can I?)
              4) Uneducated, rude people call you to pay the bill, you ask them for their ID and they hang up on you
              5) Your phone is disconnected, your bill STILL not fixed (But my resolve is strong to fight it)
              6) Customer retention calls to tell they value your patronage. You tell them about your problem, they say they'll call back but never do
              7) More rude, random calls. Now on your home phone.
              8) Collection people call. Ask you to meet midway. Your patience has worn out and you probably give in.

              It's shameful that AIRTEL does not have a customer service department. They have a bunch or untrained and unintelligent people who pick up calls to waste the customer's time. No complaint I've made has ever been resovled. Even when they themselves call to ask if we're satisfied with their service. It's such a sham.
              I'm so frustrated with their billing. It's the second time it's happened to me. And I can't bare to go through tihs frustating sequence again, hence i'm disconnecting from them.
              To all the other airtel customers - Good Luck!

              Landline Broadband — Forgery of cash payment of bill

              Dear Sir,
              We are using Airtel Broadband, Landline, Mobile connections& DTH services of Airtel since last 11yrs. You can see the past records that the payments are well paid on date always. This is the first time we are facing inconvenience from ur side.On 7th June after 6pm at Aditya Mall, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad Branch, I have paid Rs. 1066/- for the no.[protected] & Rs. 2060/- for the No. [protected]. On asking of Payment Rect. the staff collecting the payment said that they are on the "Go Green Move & I'll receive sms from their side". Till date i haven't received any messege. They are showing the payment of Rs. 2060/- for the no. [protected] and it seems that the another money goes in her purse. I am receiving 10 calls everyday about non payment of bill but i cann't expect this type of irresponsible action from a big company like airtel. I'm requesting to look into the matter.

                I got an SMS saying 'Thanks for choosing RE1_IPLAYER at Re. 1/day' even when i hadn't done anything. And then my balance keeps decreasing every day. I sent the SMS 'STOP iPlayer' and 'STOP RE1_IPLAYER' to both 121 and 1210 but it says it cannot find any services that i've subscribed to. This is clear cheating. Please remove my subscription immediately and restore my lost balance.

                          We have called to customer care lot of times and informed about signal loss in both the connections from airtel.
                          We have two connections from airtel and since two days we cannot watch TV as there is no signal to these antennas.
                          even after repeated follow-ups no body visited our place.

                                Dear SIr,
                                My self Aravind Kumar with consumer ID no [protected].I purchased the connection on 31-Oct-2011 and got the connection on 1-Nov -2011 services started with bengali/oriya regional pack ,were i requested for telugu regional after repeated calls they changed to telugu.
                                when i Purchased the connection free validity was mentioned for 6 months but they disconnected service on 24-mar-2012 which a head of free period.
                                when i call the lazy/mum service center they have given service request no 17326280,17257078 ,but till now there is no response regarding this, even i have submitted the copy of date of purchase receipt.Now they are saying vendor has cheated me,how can vendor activate the connection before i purchase,does the airtel should have common sense.
                                i request no one should opt airtel and Zeetv -Dishtv which are worst among the service provider.

                                    This is to inform that Airtel was deducting Rs.1 daily for the past 1 year from my mother-in-laws number without our knowledge. Last week we had some doubts that the balance in the prepaid mobile is reducing quickly. Today I called the customer care and inquired about it. They said that its been deducted for the past 1 year. They also mentioned that she might have received a automated call from Airtel and she pressed some number as per the request in the automated message.

                                    THIS IS REALLY NOT FAIR

                                    Is India a complete 100% educated country?

                                    Here in India 50% of them are illiterates and my mother-in-law also included in that. We gave her a mobile just because she is aged and for emergency contact purpose as we both are living at different places.

                                    But the telecommunication companies are misusing this.

                                    I have the recorded conversation of Airtel customer care for proof, but unable to attach with this.

                                    Please, Please, Please take steps to stop these type of calls and save the people of India.

                                    Note: Reaching Airtel customer care is very hard and it will take nearly 20-30 mins

                                        Dear All,
                                        Surprised to see the services of Airtel.
                                        I had past connection with Airtel for which F&FS was done in 2011.
                                        In 2012, new conncetion was provided and few days it worked fine and suddenly it was blocked.

                                        After discussin on helpline, they asked the letter F&FS which i provided on Sunday.
                                        Its been 4 days and they are yet to provide a solution even after assurance that it will be restored in 4 hrs.

                                        Now their support has reverted to be resolved by 5th April. For restoring services.. 10 days??
                                        Tried calling the fiexed line IVR but no option available from the ususal 121-5-4 i used to dial since yesterday ,,, very strange.

                                        Enclosing the mail discussions

                                        Hello,
                                        This is in reference to the discussions made with Airtel support yesterday and today as well in respect to the internet connection and fixed line[protected].
                                        It’s only 2 weeks I have taken the connection, and every 2 days, the connection used to get d/c for hours which the local guy fixed it last week.

                                        Till yesterday, the line was down (dead) for four days which the Airtel team came and fixed it. But, the internet was not working and outgoing was not functioning.
                                        After calling the Airtel support, it came to my notice that Airtel blocked my outgoing due to my old number which was showing as payment outstanding.

                                        After repeatedly mentioning that I had settled the same last year, nothing constructive was done.
                                        Fortunately, I have been able to find the settlement letter, payment slip and all the voice recordings made between the Airtel and Me during that time.

                                        I will like to mention, it is very unfortunate for people like us who have to go through repeated harassment for no good reason.

                                        To Airtel Business Heads & Quality Managers,

                                        Few points that Airtel needs to consider:
                                        1) If the new connection is been provided, why no previous checks were made in context to the history of the registered name and the address
                                        2) After discussing with support, it was also observed Airtel does not have linkage between fixed-line, mobile, digital connections , hence mobile was not blocked.
                                        3) For good conversation, SMS is sent for feedback, but for heated exchange of words, I never receive a SMS for feedback? Are only +ve feedbacks are taken for higher CSLM/CSC?

                                        I am holding now only 1 post-paid connection – [protected] , digital TV and other mobile # [protected] (on my father’s name which is mostly on international roaming).
                                        This is very upsetting that nothing worth is done to look into the process gaps in your critical activities.

                                        I am attaching the settlement letter and the payment made on 7th May 2011 of Rs.3500/- against Rs.7701/- as Full and Final before the validity date of 8th May, 2011.
                                        Also, as I am assured that the number of days the services have been blocked, it will be compensated with extension of days accordingly.

                                        I also requested Shivam / Ankit to arrange a call-back to me and they have promised me to have the connection functioning in 4 hrs. receiving this mail.

                                        Regards
                                        Dipendra Srivastava

                                        Sowmya,

                                        Thank you for the positive response but beside assurance, nothing much has been
                                        done.

                                        Internet is still not functional and outgoing is still blocked. I was assured
                                        it will be functional in 4 hrs. at maximum but its 24 hrs. and 6th day in row
                                        without internet .

                                        I do not see any solution with Airtel and beside the cool service dictionary
                                        words executives are taught, it remains in book when comes to implementation.

                                        I need to have quick resolution on this and a call back immediately and issue
                                        resolved ASAP.

                                        I can see this as a legitimate case of harassment . If you are not able to
                                        resolve it by tomorrow 1st half, I can assure you the things mentioned in my
                                        first mail.

                                        Also, just to add, I have seen many customers facing this issue and going to
                                        public platforms like consumercompaints.in, consumercourtforum.in,
                                        consumercourt.in and many more.

                                        Now I understand how and why users post these type of complaints -
                                        http://www.complaint.customermath.com/complaint/46660-Airtel_Broadband.html
                                        (not mine).

                                        Thanks and looking forward for solution by tomorrow.
                                        Regards,
                                        Dipendra
