      Their service engineer Vikash Sharma has stolen Rs. 120 from me. But Airtel refuses to credit it to my bank account or DTH account. They just keep sending bot messages.

          I’m using airtel postpaid sim. I had called and activated an additional data pack for a month. I was told by the executive to call and remind her on the day I receive the bill the next so that she can deactivate it. As soon I received the bill I’d called and asked her to deactivate it and she’d confirmed telling that it has been deactivated. But when I got next months bill it showed that it wasn’t deactivated and I have to pay extra 300 rupees approx. As soon as I got the billing showing this I’d called her she said she’ll see to it and shall file a complaint. I waited for a week or so and still there wasn’t any change in the bill amount. So I called her again. She stopped picking up my call so I texted her on WhatsApp. I did not call her every minute to disturb her I called her just to enquire but She blocked me both on her phone and on her WhatsApp. I didn’t want to pay extra money for not paying bill on time so I paid the amount. I paid the amount only because I contacted another executive and he said he would waive the amount on my upcoming bill and that it was her mistake. Next bill came and the 300 rupees I’d paid extra was still not returned. I again contacted the executive but he didn’t respond. Again I had to pay the pill because of the due date. Please kindly take my request into consideration and do the needful for cheating me.

            Hi..

            There is no network showing on my airtel mobile phone from the last 90 days. I am currently in UAE and using the same phone for the last eleven years and paying the bill amount well in advance. An excess credit of Rs 591 can be seen on my airtel relationship number.

            After highlighting the issue to various Airtel social media platform/s and further telephonic discussion with them, there is no proper response and my complain is not addressed till today.

            I am also seeking to waive off the monthly postpaid bill charges for the last 90 days from Airtel as the SIM stands faulty for no reason.

            I further request the entire Airtel team not to trouble your customer/s for these issues as this is the only registered number for various banking/financial/others needs in India.

            It clearly shows the negligence and pathetic service of your entire team in resolving the customer issue.

              I am an airtel postpaid customer with mobile no. [protected]. I have been trying to generate UPC code but not able to do so. Then I sent a complaint through email and twitter to Airtel India and they told me to pay a one-month advance rental to generate the UPC. I did make payment for a 1-month advance rental and tried generating UPC but without success. Now today I received a call from airtel saying that I have to send my documents and photograph to generate the UPC. As far as I know, there are no such guidelines to submit documents for UPC.

              I even tried the Telecom consumer complaints system. But unable to talk to your complaint center on mobile [protected] because there is no option to talk to customer care

              Kindly resolve the issue at the earliest

                              I have airtel prepaid connection, there is no indoor network from 3years in this.... I. Complained several times to airtel customer care and they say, there is network upgradation in your area taking place and network will ne up by next month... They are doing timepass of customers... They have to build airtelmoney, do social ad on facebook, build airtel platinum plans etc # but no time for building network tower... Their fb team airtel india has automated replies when complained fake propaganda ready... When asked they say to register complain in airtel thanks app but this is problem (HTTPs://prnt.sc/u06xlk) their app when registering complaint, even their app doesn't work.... When finally i go open network and registered complaint, app says excellent network so entire open network is bogus....

                              I have complained to customer care, appelate authority, nodal officer even trai but no luck
                              Please stay away from such bogus fraudster airtel telecom provider, they can't emerge as good provider of network

                                I have a prepaid plan of daily 1.5gb of data on my mobile. But due to work from home policy 1.5gb is not sufficient and have recharged using ₹98/- and ₹251/- data packs which comes with data validity of existing prepaid base plan which is 365 days. But as soon as my daily limit completes my speed reduces to 64kbps even i have active data packs with 12gb and 50gb. They are never applied/available to use. Despite calling customer care executive with effort not less than 1hr always my issue never resolved. Kindly address this, as this is a serious fraud and cheating by making customers pay for additional data packs and never get benefits of the plans activated.

                                  Hello,

                                  I have recharged for rs398 3 gb per day 4g data plan with unlimited calls 4 days back but airtel is unable to provide 4g service and i am getting 3g network coverage only that too quite poor. Netework requested airtel nodal and senior escalation desk to refund the money in case they can not provide the service. I am ok with refund post adjustment on pro rata basis but they are denying the same and asking to wait for few months where in i have recharged with plan of 28 days. Can you pls look into it and help in getting my money back.

                                    Can someone guide how do i actually lodge a complaint. Am facing issue with my stb hd since 2months... Finally wanted to call engineer when its completely off. 05/08 i called of their visited last time he said he would visit and fix the issue failed to come. I called on customercare she took me through entire process on off etc etc book reading process not even bothered to listen what am i conveying her. I told her its not signal issue, issue is with stb. Than she said ur account is suspended... My tv is off since 05/08 n due date was 07/08 how do u expect me to recharge. First recharge and call.. Great difficulty i had to hold cable n stb and recharge than call her she says no not rcvd any pmt kindly recharge n call again... I recharged again assuming banker would refund for unsuccessful recharge... Unfortunately both pmts were deducted 1100/-. Again called her same answer not recharged.. After some time one more exe ans call says no problem it will be adjusted for 2 months... I do not understand my issue is not resolved nor my tv is active why should i pay them. Finally took my complaint one technician calls on 10/08 says he will visit at 10.00am untill 11am no response i left to office call received from technician due to rain he could not come hell come evening at 6.00pm i reached home early n called no response to call. Another technician calls next day and co nveys he'll visit next day 9.00am i requested waited till 10.30 am no response after i left to office technician reaches my home at 1.00pm and informs that he will cgeck dish connection n come back no come back. And call done to technician n again promised to come next day mrng by 9.00am after 30mins a get a call from another technician that he just got a request and he would visit next day and finally visited on 13/08 9.30am and said issue with stb need to be replaced i can opt for new connection or go for upgrade to xtream... When asked for stb issue why should i go for upgrade or new than came up with option of swap he'll get new stb w/o dish charges applicable 1500 + visiting charges again. After which i had to call on airtel cc no proper response everytime i call within 24 hours we will get back to u. On 14/08 called cc and asked to register for swap of hd she said out of stock for hd stb (699/-)... If required i can opt for hd new connection (1300 +vc 150) or upgrade to xtream (1999+vc 250). Stand alone hd stb out of stock but as a new connection available with 24 hrs... What is airtel trying to do?? Forcefully making customers by there new products?? Why do they not have control third party locally (Technicians) troubling us and wasting our time without no resolution but asking to pay just becos they visited... Now looking at their ads zero complaints... Feel like never ever airtel... Due to covid19 unable to reach any nearby stores... No right person answer call... I call on hyd number person from karnataka /tn responds atheir english i cant understand they cant understand telugu or hindi... No proper mail id or complaint portal... Fedup explaining same everytime on call to customercare... Can someone actually help me where do i get this standalone hd stb of airtel.

                                    Regards,
