Airtel has raised the corporate plans from 175 inr to 235 inr with no notice to customers. I want to close my connections but they cannot close the connection even after calling them on 6th april 2020 at 2 pm.

They want me to visit there store after the lockdown and until then they want me to pay the raised amount of bill even though i want to close their connection right now.

I am calling national helpline tomorrow if they don't make option of closing connections online tomorrow.

        Due to my mistake two recharges of 219/- have been made vide transaction id no.[protected] dt.5.4.20 time 06, 41 am & transaction no. Id[protected] time 0709 am dt.5.4.20 respectively. But unfortunately, there is no tower showing in my mobile for several hours.

        Question 1 : let me know that two recharges of 219/- each will be valid for 28 days + 28 days total 56 days.
        Question 2 : let me know when the tower connectivity will become active.

        Please let me know the above as early as possible, otherwise i will go to court for want of airtel service.

                        On 4 april my recharge plan was suppose to get expired of rs 399. So on 3 rd april late evening i recharged of rs 399 through online net recharge as the country is under lockdown so shops were closed my transaction reference no. [protected].
                        But waited long i didn't receive any confirmation of net recharged through sms and also my account through bank of deducted.
                        On 5th april that is today in the evening again i had to recharge from husband phone..
                        It very sad at this time when v r rather to know the well being of our family my net had to go unrecharged.
                        Please check at your end the error occurred. I hope my rectification will be done and my amount will be credited in my account.

                          Dear sir, today on 5th april 2020 i did a recharge of my airtel number. I didn't get any notification for the recharge and thus i thought the number is not recharged. So, i did the recharge a second time with the same plan of rs. 698. But now i recieved two messages and i got to know that i did a duplicate recharge. Sir, kindly refund my one recharge amount as 698 is a huge amount on the first place. My phone number is [protected].
                          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                          I recharged my Airtel no [protected] with 399 pack by debit card, bit the recharge didn't reflect in my acoount and the amount was deducted from my card.The amount hasn't been refunded yet.
                          I had recharges to my airtel number through my airtel app but i didnt get any amount on my number
                          People are requested to Call 505 to know offers on their airtel number
                          Hello,

                          I'm unable to recharge my sim online after I converted my sim from postpaid to prepaid.I had already submitted complaint but didnt hear back from anyone.

                          Kindly help to resolve this issue as my sim will get deactivated due to the above reasons.

                          Thanks

                            Hi Team,

                            This is to inform you that I have raised complaints about slowness of dongle. I am receiving speed of .2 MBPS for download and .68 for upload.
                            Signal comes green but speed is very slow.
                            I raised complaints also but no update.
                            My complaint number is :---[protected]
                            I have done wrong recharge i need to revert my recharge its 598 rupees and my reference number is [protected] and my correct number is [protected] and wrong number is [protected]

                            WRC([protected]) ([protected])(598)([protected])
                            I have 10/20 mbps plan but the speed which i am getting is 0.24 mbps, which is not fair and very disappointing, as such thing cannot be tolerated, why am i paying for your service when i am not receiving those services. i hope this issue will be resolved very soon or otherwise i'd like to discontinue the services.
                            I have done my Airtel Prepaid recharge for INR. 558/- on 27 Mar 2020 through online amount was debited from my account. but not recharged

                                    My complaint #[protected] and #[protected] were closed without being solved and i didn't even receive a call. This happened multiple times. I emailed their nodal office and they said my complaint wasn't related to the serial number posted.

                                    I had applied for a new xstream ftth connection. The concerned person came home and billed me ₹1000. I don't know why i was billed when i was told the router and installation was free.

                                    The person told me it was the first bill payment including gst based on the plan i chose (Rs 799 per month). I told him it's a postpaid connection so why should i pay beforehand. He said i must may if i want the service.

                                    I received a bill today for ₹728 and it says payment of rs 1000 and - rs1000 for extras this month. I was also charged 18% gst on this amount which is ridiculous. Bill is attached.

                                    I deserve an explanation for this. Why am i being charged for installation when it is free? Airtel clearly advertises free router and installation and yet charge ₹1000 but don't mention why.

                                    Am i just supposed to bend over because they refuse to connect me to their customer support? This problem/issue was raised on 7th march and now i'm supposed to believe the covid19 excuse.

                                    The bill is due tomorrow.
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
