Before making recharge of rs 558, i called to airtel executive to confirm about the terms and conditions, benefits of the particular plan. Airtel executive told me that new plan will start after existing plan will expire. Due to this assurance, i recharged the rs 558 plan in 77 days advance. After successful recharge of rs 558, i also got a confirmation message from airtel that, my new recharge is activated this is what airtel executive assured me as well.

But now, airtel unexpectedly ended my old plan of 558 before 77days of expire and activated my new plan (I. E. Rs. 558 plan). I called the airtel customer care executive regarding this and they are not responding me in proper manner. They are saying something differently what the executive promised me before the recharge. They also disconnecting my calls. Please help me on this as this is fraud/cheat with customers. I want all the benefits promised by airtel executive.

I have also attached the confirmation sms received from airtel and screenshot of current running plan details. You may also check the call records of your executive before my recharge regarding this.

I want total validity of total 168 days =76 days of old pack +82 days of new pack

    Had an airtel sim bearing number [protected]. I recharged it today (2nd Dec) for Rs. 399 (84 days plan). Came to know later that the sim is deactivated and the number has been allotted to someone else.
    Have spoken to customer care for reversal and below is the reference number of that conversation.
    The request#[protected]
    Have asked airtel store also but no solution yet.
    Now I wanted to escalate this as this is not a small amount.
    kindly reverse the amount to my mode of payment.

        #Airtel_India

        Again fed up with airtel service.

        I have been recharged my number with 1699 yearly plan prior to the completion of my same existing plan 1699. After I did the validity shows only as 365 days without taking my previous balance validity days into the account.

        Am already aware and done similar recharge for monthly unlimited plans before it ends and it usually sums up the number of days for the validity.

        As I called customer care, they inform that yearly unlimited pack will deactivate existing plan and start from fresh.

        Actually I couldn’t not find any related information in my Airtel app stating that monthly packs will add up and yearly pack won’t.

        Even thou if it is so, they have to give some solution to the existing customer. Simply saying it won’t work and ur money is lost is not the solution or advisable solution. Either u must refund or extend.

        Guys be aware of this scam.

          This email is in regards to my airtel connection[protected]. I was in a advance rental plan rs 2499 for six months.in october my plan was ended and without any notification airtel upgraded me to monthly plan of rs 799. This is not acceptable.
          I called airtel many times, however i was not provided with any resolution. I have been asked to stick at high cost plan which is not affordable for me at all.

          I have requested for a disconnection on 28/11/2019. Can you please take strict action against airtel.

          Can you please support me in getting a resolution on same.

          Thanks

              They have not mentioned anything in T& C about previous validity expiration. This is cheating

                Dear sir,
                Sub: please active my number - [protected]

                I was already lodge a complaint to consumer court so this is my last request to your give me my number and activated i am unable to pay this amount because i am farmer so this is big amount for me i can't afford this amount i wll pay only 1000/rs.
                I am really disappointed with airtel for this as they did not bother to intimate me even through mail. Just to get new customers they cannot just ignore existing customers. I have all my banks connected to me through my airtel number. Even my bank statements go to that number. And also i have some professional connection connected only through that number. As the number is not yet allotted to any person i am sure airtel should be able to give my number back to me. Please help me to get my number back.

                Hi,

                Sub :my airtel number has been deactivated and please do not allotted to any other person and active again ([protected])

                My name moti lal gupta. I have been using my airtel number ([protected]) past more than 10 years but due to unavoidable circumstances i was not using my number from last few months. I had used my number last was in the first week of jan. The in october 2019 i decided to use number regularly and i realized that there was no service on my phone. I immediately called airtel customer care and told them about the issue. They told me that its a you can go for airtel store and i should submit my documents to activate it. I conveyed to them that i have that number past more than 10 years so its not a new number. They did not have answer to it but they told me to just resubmit documents to the nearest airtel store and number would be activated. I went to airtel store and told the issue to the executive. But he told me that the number has been not allotted to any other person but it not in my hald to active this number. I was disappointed and asked then how could they do so.. I then tried calling that number to check who has been allotted with my number. Luckily the number was still out of service, so i called customer care again and told them that it looks like number is still not been allotted so i would wanted my number back and i am ready to submit all documents. So they told then i can go to the airtel store and submit all documents and request for a duplicate sim. But when i went to the airtel store the executive told me that number is in idle state so he cant help it.

                I am really disappointed with airtel for this as they did not bother to intimate me even through mail. Just to get new customers they cannot just ignore existing customers. I have all my banks connected to me through my airtel number. Even my bank statements go to that number. And also i have some professional connection connected only through that number. As the number is not yet allotted to any person i am sure airtel should be able to give my number back to me. Please help me to get my number back.

                            Recharge transaction was failed for mobile [protected] on 18th november, 2019. Rs 399 was deducted from my bank account. But the recharge transaction was failed. We have registered complaint with airtel customer care on the same day (Complaint number conrc[protected]). But the amount is not yet refunded even after two weeks. There was no proper response from the airtel customer care.

                            We tried to reach the airtel customer care several times. But there is very bad response from customer care. I don't know why you need two weeks time to refund amount for a failed transaction. This is really frustrating. It happened to us several times.

                                Hi team,

                                Today i have recharged with 247 rs. Again my customized plan (246.08 rs) has changed to gujarat value lite sd pack (293.57).

                                This happened multiple time. Last month too i sent email for the same issue. It is really frustrating. Why i have to contact cc after recharge? Do you think i have free time to run behind cc every month?

                                Could you please resolve this issue asap. This is the last time.

                                I warn you if this issue appears again i will switch to other operator.

                                    Before making recharge of rs 1699, i called to airtel executive to confirm about the terms and conditions, benefits of the particular plan. Airtel executive told me that new plan will start after existing plan will expire. Due to this assurance, i recharged the rs 1699 plan in 21 days advance. After successful recharge of rs 1699, i also got a confirmation message from airtel that, my new recharge will be activated afrer 16th december 2019. This is what airtel executive assured me as well.

                                    But now, airtel unexpectedly ended my old plan before 21 days of expire and activated my new plan (I. E. Rs. 1699 plan). I called the airtel customer care executive regarding this and they are not responding me in proper manner. They are saying something differently what the executive promised me before the recharge. They also disconnecting my calls. Please help me on this as this is fraud/cheat with customers. I want all the benefits promised by airtel executive and mentioned in confirmation sms.

                                    I have also attached the confirmation sms received from airtel and screenshot of current running plan details. You may also check the call records of your executive before my recharge regarding this.

                                    After followups and emails, Airtel agreed to resolve my problem. They have added the missing validity in my current plan. What I understand is, for any problem just do not trust over Airtel telecollers. They just do not listen your problem but keep telling about rules and regulations so that you just gave up to them. Thanks consumer complains to helping me on this.

                                      My outgoing service is barred since yesterday though i have enough balance and validity. I bought this sim/number ([protected]) on 2005 and never switched to postpaid or any other networks.

                                      When i enquired with airtel, they said my outgoing service is barred due to document verification (Seems fine since 2005) and they have not informed this in prior notice. Its been very difficult for me that i'm in remote place and it's frustrating a lot.

                                      Also they are not ready to extend my validity period during these barred days and i had very very worst customer experience with arif from airtel. Even he is not providing his last name for my reference call.
