    Cancellation and refund against new broadband connection

    Address: Bangalore

    Due to COVID-19 Pandemic situation, I unfortunately had to travel to my native place after doing the online payment for new broadband connection (3537.rs) for Airtel Xtreme Fibre broadband. I confirmed that to the technician who called me to configure the connection but yet I have not been confirmed on cancellation and refund the amount.

    Please check it out and let me know on it, details as followed.

      I am raising complain against airtel service on my request number #[protected]

      Issue details are :-
      1. My airtel sim card stopped working, it got corrupted suddenly without physical damage (Poor quality of sim cards)
      2. I raised complaint with customer care on 4th july with number #[protected]
      Request accepted to deliver sim card at door step before 8th july.
      3. No one from airtel customer service provider contacted me from 4 to 8 july.
      4. I called customer care service desk i. E. 198 on 8th july. On this call, executive gave commitment to get solution i. E. Sim will get deliver at door step in next 24 hours.
      5. No one contacted me on 8, 9, 10 july.
      6. I am daily calling i. E. After there commitment duration of 24 hours from 8 july to 17 july
      7. Today i got call from one executive, now they are mentioning sim cannot be deliver at door step.

      I want sim to be deliver on my mentioned address, as per commitment given on 4th july.
      (Airtel store is far from my native place almost 40 km away. With current covid situations it’s not possible to visit store for me)
      I am ok to pay currier charges to airtel and also ok to share valid document for proof.

      Company is forcing me visit store, which means putting my life in risk.

      With this forum, also i want to raise complaint about mental torture because of wrong commitment leads to daily calls to customer service center and forcing me for travel to infected area with life risk.

      Alternate calling number - [protected]

      Thanks,
      Somnath

        My airtel prepaid mobile [protected] service stopped working from past 1.5 month due to the error simcard registration failed. Tried using a different phone but never worked. I tried contacting airtel customer care many times and none bothered to look in to this matter.
        Since it is too late i want some higher authorities from airtel to look in to this and do the needful asap. I want airtel to compensate for the loss that they have made to me and should pay for the difficulties i had to gone through because of their poor service.
        This company is really very deceptive. I recharged a yearly plan. But i have lost almost 20-25 days because i sim failed before the expiry of the package and noone bothered to notice or address the issue after contacting many times.
        My number was official and till date they havenot issued a new sim. Already facing a lot of trouble and loss of money too. I felt really cheated by this company.

              This complaint is regarding prepaid sim card connection. I am using Airtel sim card from past 10 years, two days back my sim card suddenly lost connection, while checking I came to know network connection is lost from my sim card.

                  Address: Airtel Express ,Savedi branch, Ahmednagar 414001

                  I have gone to Airtel Express in Savedi center Ahmednagar for enquiry of dongal.
                  They told us plan for the dongal of 999₹ nd said that device is included in this plan. So I get ready for this plan as he said device is included with 3 sim port nd 1 additional airtel card nd device card. So we ported our card into Airtel. The. He told to pay 2750 ₹ total. For all this process . But he told firstly 999 so get ready for this. They have cheated us and ported our sim into Airtel nd now we have to pay 999 every month it's not possible for us.
                  Please see to it nd escalate our request to provide them device to us in this plan.
                  Nd additional 250₹ has taken from us for doing such process.
                  This is seriously disgusting.
                  Can't expect from Airtel like this.
                  Take action ASAP.
                  Otherwise will complain in Police station.

                    I switched to Airtel about a month ago and i notice airtel always reports wrong HIGH data usage and send me 50% usage alert very quickly.

                    I have a prepaid plan for 2Gbs/Day and also added a 12GB data pack a 10 days ago. I use this as hot spot for my laptop. I DO NOT watch video on my phone

                    1. I watch youtube only @ 240p or max 360p resolution for 10 mins when i get a break and the data plan does not even last an hour of video. Please see attached rate of youtube data = 300MB for 1Hr of 360p video.
                    2. Mostly, i use VPN for remote work, that uses remote terminal.

                    I have also attached my laptop Windows Data Usage Monitoring app snapshot, reporting 16GB o[censored]sage for PAST 30 days.

                    As per my prepaid plan (on 7/17), I have 2GB/day x 20days + 1.5GB/day x 10days, plus the 12GB data pack = 67GB. And windows says i have used only 16.02GB, whereas airtel account says 0gb remaining and my internet browsing slows down to halt.

                    The discrepancy of data usage between laptop network interface statistics and reported by airtel is very very large. Based on my experience of laptop data usage, I strongly suspect Airtel is reporting wrong usage. I had Jio before, which reported a fair usage.\

                    I have also attached the Airtel transaction / receipt that shows the details.

                    Thanks

                        My prepaid Airtel no:[protected]

                        I have 3 days left on my pack and yet the sim is showing no service available .
                        It shows i have data on the AIRTEL APP but I cannot use it and their is no /servi/ce. It was all fine till 15/07/2020. But t has stopped since then. My expiry is on 18/07/2020.
                        On enquiry with general population, I found out that is a systematic behaviour by Airtel and it keeps shutting down random sims (my friends faced this too) . Then we go to airtel office near us and then they give us a new SIM for a charge of 25/- .

                        So has Airtel stooped so low ? You need to make revenue off our leftover data and take 25/- for marginalising profits. It is really diffcult for us now as we are in lockdown and also I cannot make and recieve calls.

                          Airtel website says 999₹ plan of airtel broadband gives upto 100mbps but when I enquired airtel stores they say it’s only 2mbps. ( I live in city centre)
                          How can someone accept 2mbps speed paying 999₹ + tax.?...

                            On 12th july, i did online recharge of my mother's airtel number ([protected]) of amount rs. 379. I selected upi and amount got deducted but recharge didn't happen. The screen showed error message that recharge didn't got completed and it was written that amount will get refund in few days.
                            However i haven't receive any refund yet.

                            Transaction reference number:[protected]

                            I dialed the customer care number today 121. They admitted that deduction happened but they will not refund this. I was shocked to hear this. His name was vivek singh.

                            Please advice

                              भागवत महापुराण/महाभारत सरीखे ग्रंथो मे स्पष्ट बताया गया राजमाता कुन्ति ने कभी पुत्रो के लिए या स्व के लिए सुख नहि मांगा।
                              पुराण गवाह है ईस महान नारी ने परमात्मा से सदैव दुख मांगा पर धर्म मार्ग ना छुटे।
                              पर ईस सीरीयल ने बाजारु सीरीयल कर्ता महिलाओं की तरह ही भगवान से सुख समृद्धी मांगते दिखाया गया है। कृपया संस्कृति का मखोल रोका झाये

                                  Airtel in August 2019 started charging me 400/- plus gst every month in lieu of extra bytes.From September 2019 I’ve been writing them several mails complaining about these charges and to stop charging me 400/- every month as I usually used to have data bytes left over carried forward each month.
                                  Also have complaint several times to the customer care number.At least 15-20 times I’ve requested them to reverse theses charges but no one bothers.
                                  finally in June 2020 I received a mail from them saying that the plan has been changed and these charges shall be stopped from June onwards.Yesterday I received my bill again with 400/- plus gst charges.Really pathetic and horrible services...I’ve been charged 472/- every month for the last 12 months...
