    Dear sir,

    My mobile no is [protected] i just made a recharge of rs 1498/- few days ago it stated truly unlimited calls for 365 days but when i called today at kotak customer care they deducted my prepaid balance.

    Now when i am trying to call kotak customer care they says your account does not have sufficient balance to make the call.

    Please see to it sir.

    Thank you.

      My airtel broadband account/services were deactivated and on safe custody from mid july and i paid the combo pack which is 500 + tax for 3 months. I reactivated the services in august end and the company is charging me for the month of august even though i paid for the combo pack. I have the emails from airtel stating that my safe custody was activated and i have been trying to follow up withe company but every time i call them they say and admit that there was technical issue but they do not resolve it and say supervisor will call but no one calls and it's been almost a month but they haven't resolved it. Also now they have stopped the broadband services due to non payment of bill which they have charged incorrectly.

        I tried using airtel 121/198 and airtel thanks app but it does not allow me to get to a live agent. I bought an airtel prepaid sim 2 days back and paid rs 350. The same day it showed insufficient balance and i recharged again rs 250. It still said low balance so i submitted a request to convert to postpaid. Airtel is saying that the rs 350 + rs 250 = rs 600 i paid is gone. This is fraud and stealing. I tried calling customer support multiple times but not able to reach a representative. On top of that it does not allow me to call any toll free number (1800/1866)

          I have ordered fast tag id through airtel app, i received message on 17 sep 2020 my fast tag id shipped. Till now when i check through airtel thanks app it is still showing shipped due to this i am facing issue at toll plaza.
          This is very frustrating. And whenever i called to airtel customer care number there is no option for fast tag. Simply making fool and harrashing people everyfay i am wasting 10 minute on toll plaza.

            Sub: not providing download or upload speed as per plan paid for
            Ref: landline number [protected] and registered mobile number: [protected] in my name - anirudh

            I have been using this broadband connection since may 2020 with plan of 40mbps. However, i have never got more than 22mbps download speed till date and the upload speed is mere 0.3 or 0.5 mbps.

            This is highly pathetic. The upload speed is not in 1:8 ratio with download speed and moreover the download speed is not even close to 40mbps. But i am in plan of 40mbps.

            Inspite of numerous complaints repeatedly, local service engineers raghu - prutvi - chandan get assigned and they put false / fake comments and close the complaint repeatedly.

            I call the customer care to report that my issue is not resolved and they simply take up another complaint rather than resolving it which again gets closed by the local service engineers who give fake/false updates.

            This is clearly fraud being committed by the airtel to its customers. Being a user since 12 yrs of various services such as tv, postpaid, broadband, i demand you provide me 40mbps at once

                The issue pertains to excessive and unfair billing by Airtel Broadband. I have subscribed to 40MBPS plan of Airtel which was priced at Rs.699. Recently there has been a price cut for 40mbps plan and the price got reduced to Rs.499/month. Thus monthly Rs.499 plan has replaced the monthly Rs.699 Plan on the Airtel Website. But when it comes to Billing (for Sept2020) they are still charging the higher price of Rs.699+Taxes, which in my view is unfair. Airtel executives argue that they are not going to give the benefit of pricecut unless a customer finds it himself on the website and asks for this benefit!. In my view since plan price has been reduced and older higher price plan being replaced with new plan (without reducing the Connection Speed), existing customers under this plan should automatically be provided this benefit. Instead Airtel is cheating the customer by
                1. Not informing the customers price cut (atleast by group Email/SMS)
                2. Continuing to charge older, higher price
                3. Refusing to charge pro-rata after taking price cut into account.

                  I had ordered an fastag on my airtel thanks app on 19th july 2020. On 24th july 2020 they said that the fastag request for so and so vehicle has been validated and the fastag will be delivered in 12 working days. But till today the fastag is not delivered.

                  I have written repeated multiple mails stating that the fastag is not delivered to me. They end up saying that in their system it is showing that the fastag is delivered. Ok, if the fastag is delivered then why don’t you give me the courier details? Even after asking so many times to give me the courier details, where i can at least track where is the courier, you have never given the courier details. I doubt if you have even couriered the fastag.

                  I asked to cancel the progress/deactivate the fastag and refund me the amount. Neither your returning my amount nor your giving me the fastag nor your giving me the courier details. Then what do you finally want to do???

                  I have written multiple mails, like non-sense every time you keep telling the only one thing that it will be resolved in 2 days. Damid, it has been 2 months!!! What’s wrong with you?? Useless people useless manager. No one knows how to even work. Are you people even working seriously?? Or just getting paid with out even working??? Idiotic people!!!

                              Therefore, i request u, to direct airtel authorities to extend 3 days for not providing service in my area, bagnan, howrah, wb, 711303.
                              Thanks in advance.
