I(Dr. Reeta Rani Jha) had taken my Airtel no [protected] with broadband connection having DSL ID[protected]_dsl and plan Airtel-UL-Xstream Basic 799 Unlimited GB
(100Mbps/1024Kbps) COMBO Plan on 29 Sep 2020 for three months. For this, I paid Rs2828 (bill attached) and also got free modem for taking a three-month subscription. This expired on December 30 2020, and I again took a three-month subscription by paying
Rs 2828 on January 4.

Post this I shifted to another place on 7th Feb 2021, and consequently applied for the transfer of my Airtel broadband connection, but due to feasibility issues I could not get the connection transferred to my new address. I then applied for discontinuation of the service on 10th of February 2021, and received a confirmation from Airtel customer care that my Airtel broadband connection has been deactivated, and I would get refund for my extra payment of 47 days within 45 days at most.
All of this I had mailed to Airtel customer care email address [protected]@airtel.com and they gave me a reference number[protected] for the complaint and assured that they will resolve the issue before 3rd of April 6 PM. They asked for these documents: -
1) Bank Cheque
2) Bank Account Number and other bank details
in order to refund my money.I responded the mail with all required document but the matter is still unresolved and I never received a refund even after their final deadline of[protected], 6 pm.

    Most important, the Airtel payment bank executives are useless! They don’t know a thing. I wish I could record there calls. Recording anyone’s call without there permission is illegal so I dropped the idea.

      On 31.03.21 evening, i changed my One Airtel plan, after paying all charges as told by executive at Airtel outlet itself and changed from postpaid to prepaid, also recharged for those numbers by the executive itself, they told ur DTH service will be cut shortly, after that u can recharge for Rs 205, like that I recharged for Rs 250 on 1st April morning, once I checked at Airtel thanks app, it shows my primary balance as Rs 46 valid till 6th April, when contacted through 121 or 12150, prepaid executive told the deduction is not their side, u contact oneairtel section, getting connection to executive is a tedious process, when contacted one Airtel executive, they told there side no issues, you contact prepaid section again, this play goes till today
      I had a bad experience of automatically closing of tickets raised for poor net connectivity 4 times without resolved which forced to come out of the plan. Poor response for exorbitant charges, unbearable for common people

            Dear Sir,
            iam not satisfy with your Internet Network
            Coverage n Data Packs...Hence, i thought to move to BSNL...then i have started
            to send SMS to 1900 for Porting...
            but, iam not able to send only for 1900... "message Could not sent" is showing...tried 10 time...

            Thing is I am able to send all the message but not only to 1900

            I don't think so it's ethical practice
            And I am trying to call the customer care no but everytime just not able to connect threw any no.

            So please help me to change my service provider

            Thanks and Regards
            Chintan

                Address: Sukantapally, Khasjangal, Abash, Near Telecom Abasan, Paschim Medinipur, PIN Code- 721102

                I, Swastik Bhattacharyya, Father's name- Ujjwal Kumar Bhattacharyya, When I was working at Airtel Company (Year 2015), I used a Postpaid sim which was taken in my documents (KYC) and given by Airtel Company. Mobile number was [protected]. And registered address was - 4no Kalibari road, Dumdum, PS- Dumdum, Kolkata- 700030, but now I am staying at Sukantapally, Khasjangal, Abash, Near Telecom Abasan, Paschim Medinipur, PIN Code- 721102, and alternate registered mobile number- [protected]. When I left the job I returned the sim to Airtel company authority and told him to close the connection. I am not using this number after left my job in the year of 2015, another person use this number month on month. I got bill payment related massage month on month to my alternate number [protected]. Today when I checked through online with otp based I shocked, I have seen registered email id is [protected]@yahoo.com. The suspect is using the sim card into a Device. Device name- Huawei E5573s-606, Device Imei number- [protected]. Why Airtel company authority cheated with me? Why Airtel company authority has given the sim card to another person without informing me. It was totally fraud (Sim Swap).

                I request you kindly take a legal action against that person or authority who using the sim card without informing me. I don't know the suspect person.

                Another person is misusing my documents, Please pay attention to the facts...

                  I have ordered the airtel payments bank Fastag on 8th march 2021 & it was said that it will receive in 14 working days.. but even after 14 days it is not received..!!!
                  on 28th march called them on airtel customer care no 400, they said will check and reply after 2 days with complain no 9239343... I have also sent email too, on [protected]@airtelbank.com they register complain no 9243164 said will get back in 2 working days ...
                  on 29th they resend email & said will get back in 24 hours. another email said will get in tough with you in 4 hours.
                  today on 1st april called them on 400 again and they said still we do not have any update...!!!
                  Mean...!!! how many time to call & write email but not getting a ordered fast-tag...?? for such a small thing... too many follow ups...??
                  Airtel takes money and gives to fastag company and do not hold any responsibility / commitments ... customer paying in advance mean they are king...we have to only suffer...keep them calling and wiring for getting fastag... We pay the money where is the service...!!! there is no option for cancellation & they do not accept allow the refund... too..
                  this is big problem need to resolve...

                            Since last 4.5 years I am trying to take airtel broadband
                            connection.so that I am giving a request for connection already more
                            than 100 times, in the meanwhile I am paid for connections two times(Transaction Reference :2217399) But company refund me the same already, &
                            inform me that there is no connection available at the time & wait for
                            some time work in progress. But the thing is that form my address both
                            sides approximately 250 meter distance connection is available So, my
                            question is that if connection is available only 250 meters distance
                            then why company not extended the broadband line in the last 4.5 years?
                            Every time your executive said wait for some time. Is it the airtel company policy?

                            So, can you please explain to me how much time would be required to
                            extend only 250 meters?
                            See I loved airtel service. That's why I am asking you otherwise there are few options available in my area like BSNL, Alliance, Local Cable operator, and currently working JIO.

                            Would request you kindly give me a broadband connection immediately.

                            With warm regards,

                              Airtel is unnecessarily deducting balance from my account without making any calls .
                              It is deducting 90 rupees everytime and in transaction history showing call done to same number (my phone number itself)

                              Also the call center guys are not responding properly.
                              Airtel is a big cheater I have lost more than 500 rs without any reason and they do not have any justification.
                              Wherever I recharge and they see balance, they deduct it

                              Last deduction happened just now on 30 mar
                              And 8 mar of Rs 90

                              Also they do not show any transactions in the app.and balance keep on reducing

                              Pls resolve this.this is highly irritating.

                                      I recharged Rs.1498 pack in January 2021. As I have jio connection as well, I use airtel very less. But today, I.e., on 29.3.2021 it is saying only 5GB is left! Is it not cheat on data? Please fix or I'll shift to another connection.
