    Airtel DT is not airing it's Channel No. 984 - Power TV (Kannada) even though it is FTA. Earlier I was getting this channel. Power TV is the best channel in Kannada. It exposes the ills of politicians, Government and other society. The problem is reported to Airtel DTH (email ID: [protected]@airtel.com) on 10th Jan 2020. Till day they are dragging the issue giving the reason of technical issue. Current Reference No. [protected].

    I checked from my side for any possible mistake.

    But I have noticed, in the 'Select your option', 'Add Channel', 'A-La-Carte'', 'Kannada' option, Power TV is not found in the list and all other kannada channels which I have selected are found.

    This confirms me that Airtel DTH does not air this particular channel i.e Power TV even though it is free to air. And the company is dodging us in the pretext of 'Technical Issue'.

    In this medium, I can not attach the email. I can forward the email conversation to your email ID(not known).

    Thanking you

      I have been customer to Airtel since year 2006 with two additional add on numbers ( ref details below). My compliant[protected] is not being addressed by Airtel, but set to close & I have reached out to customer care, billing, appellate, nodal, ombudsperson but with no respite so far. Its been frustrating since Nov’19, that billing team is following up with me for payment of an illegitimate amount of Rs 51, 500 and also threatening to disconnect of the services. They in fact disconnected for about a week in Dec spoiling my year end family vacations. I have always been paying through automated ECS and all bills are paid regularly, untill oct 2019. I never had any due amount pending until this issue came up in Nov 2019. I need your help to clarify me of the details of this inflated, illegitamate amount and there by resolve this issue . Since my ECS has been stopped due to this large amount in Oct, I have made manual payment of oct, nov & dec legitimate usage bills so far.
      Pls find reference of all my previous communication below with airtel in trailing emails.
      I have attached my previous month bills where my plan and payments paid receipts can be tracked for all these 3 numbers up to date until Sep 2019.
      Pls ref attached Aug & Sep bill for payment acknowledgements untill then fyi.wher as Oct bill showing an added ontime bill amont Rs 47910.39 which in Nov they have added a fine as well.

        Greetings,
        This is regarding my fasttag activation.
        I purchased fasttag from airtel payments bank on 11th december 2019. It got delivered to me on 18th december 2019. On this day, today 21st january 2020, its still not activated yet. It's still showing shipped but not delivered in my account. Attaching the screenshot below for reference.
        I visited airtel gallery, vasant oscar, lbs rd, mulund west on previous occasions but the only answer i got from them that they don't have any idea about fasttag and i should put an mail. Which i did. All the response i got was they'll respond in 24 hours. Which obviously they didn't. Please screenshot of the mail below for complain number 478682 and 4801776. Their last response to the mail was on 15th january in which they said that they'll respond in 24 hours but the didn't.

        I called airtel payments bank on customer care number [protected] on the 17th of january after which they gave me a complaint number 4845862. I called the next day (18th january 2020) to check on my complaint status to which they told me to wait till 20th january 12 am to get an update (Please check the recording of call if you want to confirm). I called again on 21st january, today, to which they told me to wait another 2-3 days for an update.
        Its been almost a month since i purchased a fasttag but cannot use it. I'm paying hefty fines (Double the toll amount at every toll plus waiting in line) just because i bought fasttag from airtel and it's not activated yet.
        I asked the customer care executive to cancel my order and give me my refund of the refundable deposit of 200 rs. to which they said they can't refund it. I don't understand the meaning of charging a refundable deposit if it's not refundable.

        This is my last mail to you, i honestly do not expect any resolution on this even after this mail but i'm just putting this for the record.

        Hi,
        I had made a transaction for FASTAG via airtel on Dec 17th 2019. Its been a month and the fast tag has not been delivered to the mentioned address.
        Why is it so? Can you help me to resolve this.
        My transaction ID = FT[protected]
        I have recharged my tv for RS.350 but the amount got debited but the recharge was not successful.
        Hi,

        i have applied for Fastag on 1st DEC 2019 FASTag through but still i have not received any update on delivery but amount deducted by airtel.
        FASTag no. 34161fa820328aa2044eda80 not recd till date from airtel bank. applied on 14th dec, 19 for my car no DL3CBU5042. The transaction id is FT[protected].
        the DTDC ref X65759870 given was wrong which do not belong to me.

          I purchased new sim card of airtel with number [protected], but it says that frc is not done. And it shows 0 balance for call and data however i paid 300 rs to the seller.

          I dint know what to do, i tried calling the customer care number but they are not giving the option to reach to the executive. I need help or i will throw this useless card to dustbin and will port my existing airtel number which i am using from last 8 years to vodafone.

            I already recharge my mobile on 19/01/2020 with 56 days unlimitted pack. But its 2 days over, i cant make the outgoing call. However data services are ok. When i called the customer care yesterday, they said your recharge is on hold and suggest me to do small recharge for outgoing call.
            If i have to different recharge for outgoing calls then why the unlimitted recharge.

                        I have applied for fastag for hyundai grand i10 having no. Gj05jk2165 from airtel payment bank in 1st week of dec-2019. All my details were auto populated after i have entered my vehicle no. So there is no sense that i have entered wrong vehicle no. But when i have received attached message that my fastag is generated for vehicle no. Gj05jk216. I have received the same fastag barcode as attached but there is no any identification that this fastag relate to which vehicle no. I have also uploaded rc book fronf & back side copy at the time of application of fastag. Then how my fastag is generated for wrong vehicle no. That means there is an issue related to airtel fastag generation system that my last digit from vehicle no. Is truncated and airtel guys haven't verified my rc book copy.

                        So i have requested them to update my correct vehicle no. As gj05jk2165 but they replied after 15 days that there is no such type of provision to update vehicle number.
                        So i have asked for cancellation procedure of fastag and i have replied according to their requirement by sending damaged screenshot of fastag. I have repeatedly followed this procedure for 3 times but still they are giving nonsense reply that my fastag will not be updated. But i have clearly mentioned in email that i want to cancel/deactivate/stop/close the fastag and proceed for refund. But i think airtel fastag team peoples are illiterate because they are not able to understand the simple think for cancellation.

                        Case ids generated:
                        Case: 4831173
                        Case: 4528185
                        Case: 4557881 (# 4786295)

                        Already more than 1 month passed don’t know how much more time needed by airtel to cancel my fastag. I have doubt that they will cancel or not?

                        Please help me. Please guide me how to deal with this and where to complaint so that strict action can be taken and others will not suffer as i am suffering.

                          Hi everyone.

                          My no. [protected] has been given for port on 16/12/2019. Still the number is not working. Many times i went to your airtel store (Marathahalli, bangalore) even talk to customer executives but my issue did not get resolve yet. As per your airtel executive the port has been completed within 24 hrs. On 9th and 10th my mobile was activated. But again from 11th it was stop.
                          When i asked to customer care they told for frc from airtel store. I went to store on 16th (Airtel brookefield) the airtel executive tried a lot but he also not able to do the frc. He help me and raise a ritm2478749 for this issue. Again i went to airtel store on 18 but they are unable to check the status due to server was down.

                          Its more than 1 month my number is still not working.
                          This port is for airtel jharkhand to airtel karnataka.
                          If my issue is not resolve please revert back on my old port.
                          I mailed to nodal officer many times but they are asking for sr number which i didn't get from airtel store as well as customer care.
                          I want to escalate the issue on airtel store marathahalli, bangalore branch.
                          If your company is unable to provide the services, please stop making the people fool.

                          Below is the request.

                            I made an online recharge for ₹598 (It was ₹528 after offers), and the money was immediately debited from my bank account. It was an airtel upi payment. However, the recharge is not done yet, and my pack expires today. I sent an email to airtel, but there has been no response so far except an automated email stating that 'the team is looking into the issue"
                            Please help asap

                              I have done a recharge of ₹598 through airtel thanks app

                              I used phonepe as my payment method for the recharge. The amount is deducted from my bank yet the plan is not activated.
                              I checked in the airtel thanks app for transaction history but there is no transaction as such. But the transaction is available on phonepe app
                              This is my transaction id of phonepe app: c2001191708086044677445.

                                I recharged my airtel.no from My Airtel app for the value pack of RS 219. I could see the Airtel app showing payment pending . Balance has been deducted from my account. I received transaction details but I didn't receive any message regarding recharge.
                                I am very upset with Airtel for doing such stupid things.

                                    After my request to port out from airtel to other service provider, I received a call from no [protected] from airtel on 13th Jan 2020 (06:18 PM IST). Person from other side naming himself "Tarun", talked very rudely and threatened to reject my request. In fact I have not received any message till now from airtel regarding my MNP even on 18th Jan 2020.
                                    Kindly arrange for my MNP ASAP and please make sure rude and frustrated persons like "Tarun" are never given the task of strengthening the consumer-service provider delicate bonding.
                                    Thank you.
