Dear sir,
I tried to recharge my airtel number through myairtel app on 26th september 2019, 9.20 am for rs 399 but the recharge was unsuccessful but the amount was debited. Immediately i called customer care, they said to wait for another 1 hour but till the recharge is unsuccessful only and the amount was not returned to my account.
I trusted myairtel app and i used it but it caused me this problem. The amount rs 399 is so emergency for me, please return the money back to my bank account. How long should i wait for the refund of the amount if the waiting time is more than 24 hours then suggest me other genuine recharging process other than myairtel so that i will not get into trouble in future.

          I had requested airtel to disconnect the number in the month of july and it got suspended to and without knowing they have reactivated the account and now airtel team is creating bill and asking me to pay the bill. When eve call customer care they only say it’s suspended but still bill is generating, am not sure how this case will resolve and they provide different different information every day.
          This is how you guys fetch money from customers.

          You can can contact me on ravi. [protected]@gmail.com

            I have been an airtel customer since the beginning of my mobile activity. Offlate airtel internet has become terrible. It was working well, now even images don't load. Most of the times, pages don't get loaded. This is highly irritating.in this age of competition i do not understand how airtel has slipped in service. I am in the cap of 1.4gb /day, 4g, but speed is in bytes. I expect airtel to improve their service urgently.

              Dear team,

              I had changed my mobile no [protected] postpaid to prepaid on 14/09/2019, from that day to till date i am not able to make any calls or get any calls. I had called daily to customer care to resolve the issue asap but they simply say they had raised a complaint and will be resolved in 48 hours. I got fed up with this. I had recharged with rs.495/- on 14th and even customer care persons are saying they had got everything right but not able to know the problem. I can even make the mnp to other network as we have to use this no. For 90 days now. My mobile no. Is registered in all the banks, relatives & even my office pan india customers. I humbly request you to look into and help me out to get this problem resolved asap.

                Hi,
                Greetings.

                This is regarding complaint number regarding wrongly wiping of my data by airtel. Complaint id is[protected]

                Please refer following points.

                1. Upon 3rd sept, 2019 my allotted data was 68 gb approx (40 gb allotted and 28.5 gb unused of previous month). Screen shot of data balance has been attached.

                2. I received message from airtel on 12th and 13 regarding my usage of data. On 12th i was informed by airtel that i have used 90% of data and on 13th i was informed that i used 100% of my data. So in just 10 days i used 68 gb of data!!!. Here the problem is that, all messages i received from airtel was showing consumption of 20 gb data. Message was reflecting 90% consumption or 100% consumption was for 20 gb only. Screenshot attached.

                Now the problem is that if my data balance was 68 gb, how airtel was sending usage messages for 20gb and how airtel can exhaust my all data of 68 gb against showing usage of 20gb data?

                Besides, i am following up with call center of airtel since 17.09.2019 to get details of date, application, site, download wise information, but not a single call center executive have sufficient knowledge of such issue and they were just giving misguided solution.

                Kindly refer my brief note on interaction with call center executive.

                1. On 17.09.19 i was called and and executive informed me to check myairtel app to get all data. And this much detailed information is not available on app. He insisted to buy data pack instead. So he might not able to undersand what customer is asking or was trying to sell data or was misguiding customer to close complaint.
                2. Again i called on 24.09.19. Call center execute has given false commitment that she can email date wise usage on my registered email id. And she offered to buy datapack which i simply deny.
                3. Again after 15 minutes later, upon non receipt of email, on 24.09.19, i called and explain my problem and inform executive that i am waiting for an email committed by executive during my previous call. Executive was not aware of anything and just transferred my call to supervisor.
                4. Supervisor informed that they dont have such data and i can send email on [protected]@in. Airtel.com (Which is incorrect. Correct id is [protected]@airtel.com)

                My question is that if this is the final situation, why i am not getting perfect reply from call center on my first call only.

                I received call from airtel +91 [protected], and executive revert that airtel cant provide data on email and i have to wait for generation of my bill and in case o[censored]rgency i can buy data pack!!!

                Besides, on email also, i am getting answer that airtel cant provide data on email and i have to wait for generation of my new bill.

                I am requesting solution against following..
                1. How airtel can exhaust my 68 gb data against showing usage of 20gb data,
                2. When i can get my data back
                3. What will be compensation against all hurdles i am facing without data as airtel has wiped out my data wrongly and illegally?
                4. What will be compensation against time consumed by airtel in giving appropriate solution as call center is totally worthless.

                            Airtel internet has suddenly become terrible since the past 3-4 months across bangalore. It was working well, now even images don't load and messages don't get sent. This is highly inconvenient because i depend on the internet for travel and online transactions. If this issue is not resolved soon i will have to look for an alternative service provider.

While all this the store person told me that my surname in their system appears 2 times which is not matching with my adhaar card and pan card and due to this mistake they can not issue me the same number. I request you to please resolve my problem as this sim is registered with all my bank accounts and adhaar card too so i cant change my number. Help
