Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I had recharged for 598 rupees on 7 Feb 2020 in the Airtel plan using net banking. I got the message for the same as well.

The money got debited but Recharge not done. Customer care says that there is no reference for the same. Totally unacceptable.

This is very bad. Please refund my amount back to me.

            Ref data card no. [protected]

            Dear sir
            Airtel 4g data card from long time.
            After purchage, 1st six month service was good.
            Thereafter speed problem started. I sent complain also but not resolved. One gentleman called and said that "signal strength is good". Where signal strength was good i don't know. However i was using dongle and paying huge amount as per market rate with poor service quality.
            From october 2019 service completely stopped. (Till this time payment was regular.) i have sent mail to disconnect the service. It was not happened. Data base can be checked. From this month on-wards i stopped payment. How to pay without 0 service? Is it justified?
            Daily someone call in working hour and irritate.
            Several times i have replied to resolve the dispute and disconnect. One gentleman sail that pay for one month only, immediately next day some one said to pay rs. 1000+. Again some gentleman said that he will come back soon with better plan, so far he did not come.
            Kindly initiate to resolve this issue with proper justification. Technically airtel supposed to pay me as a penalty for charging more money for worst quality service from months.

            Thanking you

            Regards

E [protected], i paid 290 rs also towards the unbilled amount but due to the lethargic attitude of airtel staff my no is still not removed from airtel plan and when i called to conolaint about the same, a lady named jyoti from contact centre team is telling that she has taken the complaint for that and it will take 3 working days to get resolved, i have to take so much trouble to remove my no from airtel and they are not even bothered to work on priority about my issue, i will be filing a case in the consumer court as i am not getting the service which was promised by airtel, its a breach of trust i want call from the senior management asap

                With greater regression i want to say to airtel team that, a high end motorola handset like MOTO Z PLAY till not get the volte features update..
                It's unbelievable to say that very low budget ordinary handset getting VOLTE update but a premium handset like MOTO Z PLAY is not getting the VOLTE service till 6th Feb, 2020..

                When can i get update regarding VOLTE update on my device or i will get back to Reliance Jio or Vodafone soon ...
                If i will not get any feedback on this issue from Airtel, Motorola, or Lenovo, , then i will switch back to Jio or to Vodafone. Atleast they are providing very good volte service to each & every handset..

                If it's not resolved within a week then for sure, , i will think that my MNP from Jio to Airtel is completely valueless & i will go back to Jio again..

I cant understand what kind of network is this and the customer care executives ask me to be patient issue will be resolved they cant understand the severity of my issue its like i am being without a mobile form past 4 days. Im unable to port to any other network now as its been only a week i have switched.

                        Period of incident - since 7-dec'19
                        Unauthorized activation of international roaming to airtel user [protected] levying excess amount of inr 4480.46/- on family plan bill no. Bm2027i[protected] dated. 9-jan-20. Upon inquiry, airtel claimed to have raised bill against 50 outgoing sms, 8.54 mins. Call and data usage. On bill they airtel have charged for 2 no. Sms, 11 mins. Outgoing call & 22.7 mb data usage. After careful study of bill, there are only 3 outgoing call out of which 1 no. Call is from [protected] (Airtel spam) with a call duration of 28 sec & an unknown spam no. [protected] with a call duration of 8:25 mins.
                        3 day international pack of inr 999/- per day was charged in addition to above.
                        Upon further inquiry airtel accepted their mistake & decided to waive of rs. 1090.32/- & have barred incoming calls on 3 airtel nos. Associated with the family plan.

                        Airtel have resorted to a mode of extortion and a lot of harassment by first blocking out going calls & forcing to pay excess amount. Due to medical emergency we had no other option but to clear the bill, but still the outgoing calls are not active.

                        Resolution required : full refund of excess charges of inr 2890.01 or adjustment in the next bill

                          . I cannot open certain websites on google chrome like (Facebook, etc.) as it redirects me on this link http://one.airtel.in/rcconf again and again. Tried clearing browsing history and apn numbers. Also i cannot open any game downloaded from play store. What kind of joke is this airtel playing?
                          I tried calling to them but they are saying our network team will reach out
                          But still no deadline mention. They even asked to get the sim changed whereas this sim is new 1 or 2month old. It feel like i am wasting my money

                              Mine is Airtel post paid sim and Not getting 4G network from my residence. Most of the time network gets downgrated to 2G/3G. I am not able to access internet. Frequently I have to put on air flight mode and back to reset my network. I have been complaining to Customer Care for over last 6 months. Everytime I complaint, they inform there is new tower coming up in your location next month and this goes on.

                                Hi,

                                My number is 49287130, and i am using your airtel connection since so long. You people are so shameless that even after so mANY COMPLAINTs you have only one word and that is damn SORRY. What i have to do with your sorry. I am paying 1100 bucks. You people are cheaters, lurchers who know how to grab money of the people without giving them the service.

                                Every time i make a complaint you send you idiotic technician or field executive who sit check something for three minutes, and then your internet start, but again same ### happens the very next day. Do you people really ashame of your acts.

                                Why the hell i pay 1100 bucks, for this ###, for this nasty service. Give my entire money back of last month, because hardly your internet service work. Same ### happened on 5th, Feb, 2020, for three damn hours in total there was no internet, and for fifty minutes landline too did not work.

                                Now you listen to me carefully, 1100 that i pay, i need 50% of waver
                                in my next bill, or else after this i would put this ### on NHRC and other social media.

                                Solve this problem once for all, or there are better service providers. I will tell in my cicrle to switch to something else, so you better behave.

                                Landline number - [protected]
                                Email :[protected]@yahoo.co.in
                                Mobile: [protected]/ [protected]

                                Bill : 1100 (plan)

                                Return my money of last month, or give me 50% of waver you lurchers

                                  Respected sir,

                                  Iam using sim service of airtel service provider since more than 5 years, but now on 23 jan 20 i had requested for port out from airtel to jio but my request has been rejected without any notice even after fulfilling all the conditions as per trai, after that again i requested the same on 31 jan 20 and while querying about the status of my request to the airtel customer care executive they replied that no request has been found in there system.
                                  These is second time i am opting for port out, even after fulfilling all the criteria of trai and obtaining upc both the times similarly following all the very steps why the airtel network provider denying of the request...???
                                  Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                  I can no longer visit any site on the internet without getting redirected to one. Airtel.in. It has become something of a torture, for it has been close to 6-7 hours and it still keeps happening. Happens on both my phone and desktop browsers
                                  I did a international roaming recharge for 6999 but airtel did not provide the call service for 10 days, so I need the amount prorated and refunded back. But customer service person says there is no such policy of fair treatment of customers. Even if airtel does not provide service the customer has to pay the amount.
                                  Upload and download speed sre so reduced after new rates revision that even when my 1.5 gb data pack is left I'm getting an average download speed of 100kb max. If you are charging higher rates then improve your performance also. Airtel not done. Going to pprt to jio if problem is not solved immediately.

                                      Internet is mostly not there, no or extremely slow connection and doesn't even reach across the room. Even to check speed internet browser not working, taking time to load for more than 7 mins!!!. It stays like this almost all through the day, and only gets better later in the night after 12 am. So far 2 complaints have been filed with airtel in the last few months, and still this problem keeps on happening.

                                      I'm planning to change sim because of network very bad
                                      After sending PORT message on 1900, I am unable to receive UPC code Even after so many trials.

                                      Same thing has been discussed with customer care executive & mailed but unable to get response.
