    I have ported my number recently from idea postpaid to Airtel prepaid, the sim got activated last night but after that I am unable to recharge new Airtel connection and also when I input the number on different payment/recharge platforms like paytm, Google pay, & Airtel app it still shows my number as idea postpaid up east (previous network and circle) and also unable to recharge, I am really disappointed with the services of Airtel, I regret switching to Airtel

          Hi
          I have been a customer of airtel since last six years. I have two numbers operated under postpaid. One is 98922xxxxx which is my regular number. Another one is 8971xxxxx for which i had requested a disconnection in the month of july. The disconnection team insisted even after my initial denials, that we can convert the number to prepaid directly from here. So, i said ok. However, there was no update even after two three week. When i finally queried they say said that we cant do anything from here, you have to visit the airtel store. Why didn't they say this to me in the first instance itself. I had insisted the number to be disconnected and they kept on insisting that we will convert the number to prepaid from backend. First instance of cheating.
          Next, as i am a working professional and hardly get any time. When i visited the airtel store in september, i received another surprise. The guy said that today we have some network outage so we cannot convert today. Again a case of fraud. I do-not get the time to visit the airtel customer centre on a daily basis.
          I have been repeatedly calling airtel to disconnect my number and also stop billing the number. However, repeatedly bills are getting generated with late fees levied. Also, i have requested your executive to reverse the entire billing amount levied from the date of my disconnection request. I have not been using this number. Airtel is using cheap tricks just to keep billing customers.
          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

            I had channel 256, &flixhd as part of my kerala mega hd package and without informing the customer they removed it and added a few other news channels which i'm least bothered about. This is atrocious and i want to object such decisions taken by the dth providers without informing the customers. Now i will have to pay additional 19/month for a channel which was part of my package when i ordered it.

              I purchased multi dth connection of airtel which as their customer care was for 1100.00 something but when engineer actually installed the same charged 3300.00 and also made some damage to walls
              When i made the complaint to airtel customer care they said its a third party case and they charge higher. How come i know its third party when the engineer was sent from airtel office to me.
              New connection of airtel hd is not for 3300.00 and when company is installing just a second setup box and charging 3300.00 in name of wire, camera, recharge and setupbox is not justified.
              Companies are cheating people and their should be some law against this as if in a single house there are more than one tv than why consumer should pay for connection for each tv

                Address: Rohtak, Rohtak, Haryana, 124001

                I recharged my above mentioned number for
                Rs 1699/- through airtel app on 11 nov 19 at 0930 hrs by internet banking. Immediately after recharge i received following messages in the sequence mentioned:-
                From precharge "thank you for recharging. Your new pack with unlimited call and data benefit will start from[protected]. Till then your current pack benefits will continue."

                From erecharge "recharge done on[protected]:24am, mrp:rs1, 699.00, gst 18% payable by company/distributor/retailer, valid till:#, transid[protected]. To check your balance, validity, call tariff and best recharges, dial *121*51# or download my airtel app, click www.airtel.in/5/LBNV
                Truly unlimited calls to any network and 1.4gb data per day. Also, get 100 national sms per day. Validity 365 days. Download the airtel tv app. Click get. Airtel. Tv"

                From 56565 "important update! You will not be able to call and use data services as your sim card is damaged. To resume services change your sim free of cost from nearest airtel store or any retail outlet. Once you have the new sim just sms sim new sim number to 121."

                Immediately after these messages my sim stopped functioning because of which i am not able to communicate with anyone and led to a great inconvenience.

                I approached balaji airtel store, delhi road, rohtak, harayana. They asked me rs 30/- for the replacement of sim. When i told them about the message received from 56565 (Given above) they refused to take account of it and also refused to give bill for the charged amount. Then i called customer
                Care when junior executive were not able to resolve my issue they transferred my call to mr salman who claimed himself a senior team leader. He was very very rude and blamed that i have damaged the sim myself and i have to pay for new sim. I requested him that i don't want to continue with airtel and want my recharge amount refunded but he refused to refund the amount quoting policies of airtel. On the issue of providing bill for the amount charged by airtel for sim replacement, he advised the local employee at airtel store to provide bill which the employee has agreed.
                However, insted of giving me proper bill, airtel employee gave me torn peice of paper of approximately 2x3 inch size with "janta shoes" printed on it and scratch rs 25/- on it which was earlier told to be 30/-.
                When i objected to this she took that paper and thrown it in dustbin and specifically told she has done a great favour as even airtel doesn't provide any such bill books and now do what ever in front of at least 10 customers and the staff. This was embarrassing and not befitting a telecom giant like airtel.

                    I wanted a pre-paid connection without my permission the sales person has given me post paid. I was never asked or informed about it. I even asked the guy for confirmation, he said it is pre-paid and then he without my knowledge has given me a post-paid number. No he is telling me i have to pay 499 x 3 bill only then i can convert to pre-paid. I using other networks jio and vodafone where for three months my prepaid charges are only 499. Why will i opt for such a expensive plan. I have been deceived and subjected to mis-information.

                    It would be great shame if this type of miscreants are let to get away with it, without being penalised.

                    Thanking you

                        I buyed asus zenphone max pro m1 i was to get 12 months 10gb extra data exvery month.
                        Till 8month i received after that i haven't received so i complaint on mail they have provided me extra 10gb data with validity till 2jan 2036.
                        I received it so because it's validity was till 2036 i was using as less as possible data so that this data can be helpful to me in case of emergency.
                        I recharge extra rs48 2-3 times in which i receive 3gb extra data with that period validity only i. E. 2jan 2036.

                        Issue - last week my data was 10gb i have also attached a screenshot now they without any information vanished all my data and currently i don't have any extra data.
                        Upon calling them they said that it's airtel app issue and they have send me email regarding the validity of it's period so when i checked my email today there was no such information regarding this.
                        And also why should they send such an message on email.

                        Really fed up from their services my data should be 13gb as 2day ago i again recharge rs48 3gb data but now it's just 3gb with again validity of 2jan 2036.
                        I want my data back as it was not a fault from my end and i have spended money on it. Money doesn't grow on trees.

                        This shows that you are frauding and cheating with customers

                              There is regular network breakdown in this town (Krishnarajpet) the same happened 2 days back, and the customer service was not helpful.. They did not agree to my statement that there is no network. They kept on saying there is excellent signal in this area.. I am not the only one facing this issue.. Whole town has been effected.. Everyone is fed up with airtel and now they are switching to other network and i am doing the same.. I know there will not be a reply.. I must say it is a worst network in this town..
