My cell phone number is [protected] from kolkata, I am very upset right now with airtel and their customer service. I have to send an sms to my gal frn who is in manglore, on top of that i don't have any balance thats the reason why i recharged for the sms pack so that while i am on zero balance i can text her and tell me how i am and what i am doing. I had my complain registered on 16/3/2010 and today is 18th march till now its not being solved, and to make matter worse the customers are making me wait like 20 minutes over the phone on hold, and they come up with excuses like their systems are down or the seniors supervisors are busy attending to other peoples call. i have tried almost 5 times today and i have given up my hope that i will ever be refunded or problem will be solved.

This is not the first time, month ago i recharged with Rs 26 and the customer rep told me i would get national sms free, and when i recharged it was only for local sms unlimited. Bottom line the reps they have very poor knowledge about the product as well as very lathergic and to top it all they can hardly speak english properly.. I am pissed off as well as annoyed with airtel as a whole. I used to think it has the best customer service, but it let me down. I guess i will have to put my airtel sim into the fire and go for some other service provider like voda, tata, or relian..... i have my soft spot for airtel because since the first time i started using cell, i started it with airtel which was good, as well as used to speak with my 1st galfrn over the phone through airtel... i know for them its nothing. its just business... so thanks guys for letting me know that.. i will wait for another 3 days and if nothing happens, i would not think over again, i will definitely change it

    Sir,

    I converted my pre-paid sim to post-paid approx 2 years back and Airtel executives took Rs. 500 as deposit from me. I used their services till Dec 2009 and after that my sim got damaged and I took another connection. I tried calling customer care and reaching their executive is a battle to win. Now these Airtel guys are calling me and asking me to pay amount of 1700 for clearing my dues otherwise they will take legal actions against me.

    I told their executives that I've stopped using Airtel since December 2009 and I went to check my records to their main office as well. There is no call from my number after mid of December and usage is of Rs 1100....... which I'm ready to pay but they are asking me to pay the rentals as well which they have added , though I've stopped using their service.

    Also in their records the amount which I deposited is showing just Rs 300 and they have no idea where are rest Rs. 200 which I paid initially. Also they are not ready to adjust my deposit against my usage.

    Please let me know what should I do, as I'm ready to pay Rs. 600 and rest Rs. 500 which should be adjusted from my deposit.

      We are in Padmanabha Nagar, Bangalore and we took our airtel broadband connection in my son's name on 13th or 14th of March, 2017 under 1149 plan. I understand that my entire quota of 70 GB has been exhausted by the end of the month itself and have been using broad band at the reduced speed only. Also at the time of taking the connection, the speed available in our area was only 16 mbps and your sales executive assured that the speed will be increased to 40mbps very shortly and will get upgraded automatically under intimation to us.
      Now i want to know whether the billing cycle is from 1st to 30th of every month or from the date of connection taken to the next month of the same date. When can I get my new quota for broad band usage.
      Your reply will be very much appreciated.

          I had submitted Recharge coupen to distributor (Sri Krishna Agencies ) three year back and second time nine month back for exchange due to modification done by the company and card is not valid, but till today we have not received recharge coupen or any payment in exchange. so i request you to kindly look on this matter. this case can be treated as fraud case against company.

              Respected Sir,

              I , Mohan kumar A K , have been working in Cochin for the last 4years.

              I have been using one Airtel mobile postpaid connection ([protected]) for last three years. due to financial problem last two bills amount can not paid. but i made a payment of 1000/- on 28th February which is collected by an executive named Mr.Anil ([protected])who guaranteed me that he will manage to cancel the barring of outgoing and incoming call till march end and for that i need to make the balance payment in the tenure. but after 2 days my outgoing and incoming calls have been barred. i have informed Mr Manoj but barring have not been solved.

              then on march 10th an executive named Mr. Manoj ([protected])called me in my alternative number of [protected], and convert me to make the payment the march itself, i have guaranteed him that i should
              make the payment .but on 13th march a lady had made call to my two friends having numbers (Only two informed me about this) and told about my due of payments and asked my contact details but i have already give my alternate mobile number and mail id [protected]@gmail.com to Airtel for the best communication which has been used by Airtel many times. But instead o[censored]sing my above number or mail id ,they had tracked my call history and called my friends without any reason because that time my alternative mobile number is active and available. i had made call to Mr. Manoj and informed the situation and my resistance to pay the balance where i have been threatened like anything.

              Again 15th march Another executive who having mobile number [protected] had called and asked about
              the payment.that time i have expressed my resistance to pay the balance. but after few time again my friends got call from the same number ([protected]) and discussed about the due payments where i was really so cruelly insulted .Here Airtel has purposefully misused my call history without any legal reason.

              This is not for reasoning me for not making my payment but for the cruel method used by the collection team against the poor customers. Also this reveals the freedom which is given to the collection team by the service providers which is really "the hurt of my human rights". here the authority can check my history of payments details against Airtel which almost a fair till last September when my business become very bad. Three week back i joined in a new company and i will pay the balance very soon. but before that i need to get my rights regarding this kind of call history tracking and insulting me within my business and friends network.

                My name is Asai from Chennai

                I received the same SMS in my mobile (Airtel [protected]) yesterday, that i have won an Airtel DTH set top box and was instructed to login the website http://airteldigitaldish.com I logged in and i entered my address and contact number. After submitting the details i got the message your request has been registered. Today i got a SMS from my mobile that i need to relogin to the same website to confirm my order. Sameway i logged in with my mobile number, In that page it was mentioned that the Airtel DTH set top box would reach my mailing address on 08-09-10 from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM


                It also mentioned that, To avail this offer i need to pay Rs 400 as Customer service tax. I need to deposit this amount in nearest SBI in the the name of Karthick pal A/C - [protected]
                I need to pay this amount before 3:30 PM today. Upon depositing the amount i need to send fax of the deposit receipt to[protected] After sending the fax i would be receiving a confirmation call from Airtel DTH within 4 hrs. Failing to deposit the amount would result in cancellation of this offer.

                Pls let know is this a valid offer from Airtel ??? Or any prank SMS???

                Thanks

                I did got that message too...the guy designed this cheating must be a clever guy to collect money in this way. This is abosulutely a Prank message. Don't believe it...When airtel is giving that kind of gift free they will not ask for any of this cheap tax in some executive's account number. A little commonsense is required here.

                Regards

                I too got this message.is the website http://airteldigitaldish.com a genuine one created by Airtel or by some prankster.

                I didn't enter any information and before that i thought of checking it out in google and was lucky to find the above comments.

                  For the last five years I've enjoyed the mobile services of Airtel. Though it's a bit costlier than other services, the quality has always satisfied me to such a degree that I've had no reason to complain about the financial loss -- until recently. On Feb 25, 2010 I made a recharge with Rs. 80 with the hope of getting 500 local and national sms per day. The hope crushed on the following day when I discovered with horror the sms charge being deducted from my main balance. Then, after a long series of calls to the customer care, I was ultimately allowed to avail myself of the benefits from Mar 11, 2010 onwards. The story doesn't come to an end even here. From yesterday (Mar 16, 2010) the balance-deduction has started happening again. I've already called twice to the customer care but the executives have offered me false hopes ("Your service will be normal within two hours", etc). I pray on my knees to God and God-like Airtel to have mercy on my sms-crazy little soul. My mobile number is [protected].

                  Ifaced the same issue pal...am really pissed..
                  Ifail to understand why Airtel keeps changing plans without providing any notification to their dealers.Ihave lost Rs80 plus the balance Ihad has been deducted.Am broke as at present am unemployed and am really upset with AIRTEL.Ireally wish to get a refund.[protected]
                  i am using airtel rs80 plan.But i cannot send more than 100sms a day. what is the problem?please inform. After i complete sending 100 sms a day, Re.1 gets deducted from my main balance. Is there any other UNLIMITED SMS plans? please can somebody tell me
                  I hae re-charged with Rs. 26 on 2nd Nov 2011 an sending Airtel Local or Nation SMS for free and others local or National @0.10p. When reached 100 SMS they blocked my SMS of that day but yesterday after few SMS they sudden deduct my main Balance. I talked with CC executive she said they provide only 500 SMS for whole period. Whom will you trust? They said before no limitation in pack only TRAI rules apply but now said 500 but before this recharge I already sent more than 500 SMS. Always wrong communication for fooling customer. I will shift to Reliance 1p sms plan by porting number. MY mobile no is [protected].

                      I am a customer with Airtel Karnataka for the past 3 years+ and have been regular and prompt payer of bills. My Mobile Number is [protected].

                      I traveled to Japan on 27th November 2009 and reached on 28th November 2009. I returned to India on 12th December 2009. There is over Rs.10000/- charged for Data, when I had not used data transfer / data connection.

                      Again, I traveled on 19th December 2009 late evening and reached Japan on 20th December 2009. I returned to India on 23rd December 2009. I received an SMS alert on 20th December tell me my outstanding as over 25000/- On 21st December 2009 afternoon I received another alert stating my outstanding as Rs.36000/- Within a span of 1 day without using data connection, I do not know how Rs.11000/- can be the increase.

                      I had disputed these data charges and till date without resolution, i keep getting calls from Airtel at all times and every time i need to explain the same story to their CSRs. Meanwhile, I kept Paying the Regular Plan, Call and SMS charges.

                      Today i.e. 17th March 2010, my outgoing calls and SMs were barred even though I had paid all the phone charges except for the above disputed amount asking them to provide breakup of the sites that I am said to have visited. Till date they did not provide me the breakup, but had barred my Outgoing facility.

                      I hope at least now they will resolve, failing which need to highlight this kind of money making in press and take up legally.
                      Now Airtel is sending Goondas and Rowdies to collect money who keep abusing and threatening us including my aged mother when I am not around.

                      Instead of being lawful, Airtel is resorting to cheap and shameless tactics of sending messages to all the number, whom I might have called at some time during those 3 years.

                      Besides, Airtel has been harassing some of the persons for payment or information, whose numbers appeared on my itemized call statement.

                      Not choice, but to go to the police and higher ups for these threats.

                      NOW AIRTEL IS SENDING GOONDAS AND ROWDIES TO COLLECT MONEY WHO KEEP ABUSING AND THREATENING US INCLUDING MY AGED MOTHER WHEN I AM NOT AROUND. THESE GOONDAS ARE THREATENING TO KILL MY MOTHER AND BURY HER APART FROM KILLING MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
                      BESIDES, AIRTEL HAS BEEN CALLLING AND HARASSING SOME OF THE PERSONS FOR PAYMENT OR INFORMATION, WHOSE NUMBERS APPEARED ON MY ITEMIZED CALL STATEMENT IN THE PAST.
                      THERE NODAL OFFICER DISHES OUT STANDARD ANSWERS.
                      INSTEAD OF BEING LAWFUL, AIRTEL IS RESORTING TO CHEAP AND SHAMELESS TACTICS OF SENDING MESSAGES TO ALL THE NUMBER, WHOM I MIGHT HAVE CALLED AT SOME TIME DURING THOSE 3 YEARS.
                      NOT CHOICE, BUT TO GO TO THE POLICE AND HIGHER UPS FOR THESE THREATS.

I NEVER AVAILED THIS SERVICE. Respective amount has deducted as well. I received no proper explanation from customer care and my call was disconneted as well. I wish to deactivate this service immediately.
                          Even my number got deducted with automatic activation of Hello Tune service and they deducted 30 rupees first and when I sent an un-subsribe sms they further deducted 10 rupees for that single SMS...

                          if the CEO needs money they can come and beg otherwise ?

                          Airtel — Hello Tunes Activation

I have not done anything and without my permission how can they activate hello tunes on my mobile. Please sort this out asap.

                          airtelhellotunes — balance reduced

                            Though I was never agree that I have done calls for Rs. 9400 however I made the payment of this amount as I wanted my phone to start ASAP.

                            Now they are not starting my phone, I went to Airtel outlet several times and they say that I have an outstanding of Rs.1521. and my phone is permanently disconnected.

                              I has complained Airtel DTH about 25 February for a faulty set top box, and registered a complaint regarding the same. As of today (16 March), the complaint stands unresolved. I have lodged atleast 7 - 8 different complaints about this and spoken to many many executives from customer care as well as in the escalation department regarding the faulty equipment. Cleverly though everytime i make a complaint to airtel, within a day i get a call from their customer care centre, and they promise that the issue would be resolved in 24 hrs time. After the 24 Hrs time i only get a SMS on my phone that the compaint I placed has been resolved. On three occassions, airtel engineers have visited my premises and ascertained that the equipment is faulty and they will come back the next day to replace it.

                              Please help with this as i am being cheated for months together regarding the rents i pay and the price i paid to get the equipment. I only trusted the brand airtel and made my purchase on it, but had i known the service quality, i would never have invested in such a big headache.

                              It is also my sincere and honest advice to people seeking to buy a new DTH connection to refrain from airtel. Everything works well untill you have an issue and after that it is only the painful headache that you get.

                              Regards

                              very true, even i suggest everyone not to buy this product, therwise be prepared for lots n lots of mental and finencial torture
