I got charged fraudulently by airtel in my postpaid bill, it shows that i had sms to an international number #[protected]. I don’t have any clue about this number though it was just rs 5 only however if any mishap who to be blamed for. This is certainly a fraudulent act by the company every single penny counts and matters to me as it is hard earned money and the data security.

Sir,
I had a connection with Airtel ( Bharti Airtel) in East Delhi some 2 years back. I requested for disconnection and all dues were cleared. The line was disconnected and shows correctly at Airtel also. The land line number against which the bill is shown is [protected]. ( In fact my number was different when I got it disconnected).

After one year of disconnection I again started receiving the bills for the connection, followed by SMSs and those painful recovery agents calls. I complained to their customer care and they agreed it a fault on their side and I was conveyed that this will no happen again.
But the bills started again after 2-3 months. Same cycle repeated, same excuses and again after 2-3 months they are back at same.
Then I wrote to air Appellate. There also it happened same, I got sorry email with all commitments that this will be taken care, but again it starts. I got 2-3 emails with me from appellate also with sorry messages, but my problem is still unresolved.
Again last week I received the bills and they are now followed by recovery agents calls. I explain it to one agent, he commits that sorry you will not received further calls and next day there is another agent calling for same.
They have wasted so much of my time complaining, emailing, arguments and giving me mental challenges. Who will be responsible for this?

I can provide all the emails from Appellates where I was told "Sorry" and commitments that this will not repeat, but after two years I am still receiving the email.
I strongly believe airtel is not removing old customers data, just to show higher than actual consumers to push their share price, and if so they are doing a big fraud with shareholders, so trai must do an enquiry on this.

Please help me resolve this issue.

I have been facing issues with airtel network signal (1 and 2 bar signal always indoors) and data connectivity (1 kbps whereas i have subscribed to 4g 75gb plan) at my residence in g. S. Road, guwahati, assam and have raised complaints regarding the same since july 2019. I was on roaming visiting my residence and was there for couple of weeks and the airtel service engineer also took exactly 14 days to make a visit to my address by which time i was already leaving from guwahati. So there was no resolution provided henceforth. I am visiting my hometown again now and had raised the same issue again with airtel on 11th feb 2020. First of all i was told that network team would visit and provide solution by 4 working days. I received a call but noone visited till a week it is 18th feb now. And on top of the network issue i was facing, since 14th to 16th feb i did not even have any signal my sim did not work at all. On contacting customer care from alternate number was told that because of system upgrade in that area sim has stopped working. And just before that the customer care executive was trying to tell me that because of your sim only you are facing the network issue. Basically they are just trying to blame it on you instead of providing assistance to the subscriber they have no intention of taking ownership and providing resolution which is what they are there for. When on 17th feb also my sim did not work, i had to personally visit airtel store to get my sim swapped for no fault of mine i was put through this harrassment of having no mobile connectivity for 3 days. And even after swapping the sim, the network issue still persists. So when i called up airtel again, they first tried to compel me into accepting that new sim card is causing issue. Just observe how they are manipulating customer everytime. When i asked to speak to supervisor, he went a step further into harassing me, he said we have noted your complaint and it will get resolved in 1-2 months time as new tower needs to be setup. And when i visited airtel store earlier for sim swap the lady at the store told me that the g. S road network team did not even receive my service request yet so i am surprised how the customer care executive on call was telling me the tower setup details etc because clearly there has been no communication between the airtel customer care and the concerned network team which is such a worrying state of affairs in today's day and age. How these companies are manipulating customers and harassing them. I have been an airtel customer for last 10 years and this is such a horrific experience. They are cheating customers this way. I am saddened at the fact that a technical professional like me has been put through this ordeal imagine the plight of the novice or not so technically knowledged consumers. This lacklustre and irresponsible attitude needs to be addressed before it gets to its worst because of such incompetent people.

I have done recharge of RS 399 through airtel app. On 15 th of Feb 2020 for my prepaid mobile, the amount was deducted from my account but recharge not successful I have had called the customer care service number 198 I was told that that I will see it and it might take 7-8 days to resolve the issue. But I did not get any receipt for it.

I had taken the postpaid connection by portability from jio to airtel and it has been activated after 1week but calls and messages were not connected or recieved later i went to airtel store they had changed my plan with negligence and rechanged the plan and calls and messages activated later i installed airtel thanks app and wynk music app but nothing was loaded about my plans data usage or any thanks app reward and it is showing that i am a non-airtel user and i had complained 3times in the store no action has taken nor resolved and it is already a month happened with connection

I used to have an airtel connection [protected]. I paid the bills every month and suddenly in 2019 july, i got call from airtel stating i didn't pay the bill from february to june. I sent emails to [protected]@airtel.in with the paid receipt. Then the response i got was the amount which i paid got reversed so i need to pay it again. I checked my bank account, paytm account, airtel wallet from where i paid the bills but no where the amount got reversed and i informed the same to the customer care. Instead of resolving their flaws, they kept on harrassing me to pay the amount. But when the amount is already paid why should i pay it again unless they reverse my paid amount. They refused to resolve this issue instead they keep calling me and ask me to pay it off due to which i disconnected my airtel connection because this is not the first time it happened. And they were sleeping from feb to june and in july suddenly they woke up and saw i didn't pay the amount. Is this kind of a joke? I didn't expect this kind of behaviour from airtel. It's been more than six months i have disconnected my airtel connection but still they call and keep harrassing.

Airtel pack ends today, if not recharged, rs. 45 will deduct on 18th feb 2020 from balance for 28 days validity. For unlimited / smart packs.. Dial.. *

My complaint here is why airtel is forcefully deducting rs. 45 from my balance and do the recharge, if a customer wants to recharge he/she will do it their own. Why the hell airtel is doing it forcefully.

This is unacceptable. Please take an action against airtel. You can seen same message come in last month as well. Check the screen shot attached
