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

      Dear sir,

      I recharged today 1699, i got validity for one year but due to this i had lost 40 days validity of previous pack.

      Please credit remains 40 days back to my account.

      If you are system accepting both payments i should get both validity, otherwise refund my amount 1699 immediately.

      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.
        Thanks & regards,

                    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.

                            Address: E131, 2nd Floor, Sector 22, Noida, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, 201301

                            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.

                                      I had takenairtel broadband service with landline connection last aug2018 and paid the subscriptions for one year in advance. My a/c no-[protected]andtelephone no-[protected]. And this year on may 16th 2019 i went to usa and returned only on 25th oct 2019 only. Before going to usa i called your cutomer careno-[protected] and told them to disconnect my broadband and phone connections and they promised to comply with my request. After coming back mybroadband &phone were not working. When i contacted airtel, they asked me pay for the month of sept due also and i told them that without using the phone and broadband how can i pay for sept since i was in usa. The lady who talked me and asked me to pay for nov 2019 and i paid that amount of 1099/-on 30/10/2019. And your airtel people daily contacting me to pay the balance amount and did not restore my phone and broadband connection. This month also they have send a bill for dec aith sept bill amount. This is very unfair and so i have got all the records of your airtel misdeeds and i am going to the consumer court to solve the issue.in the meanwhile you can permanently disconnect my broadband &telephone connections. Let us fave this in consumer court. T. K. Kishore

Dam is located in bichom village about 15 km downstream side of nafra town, west kameng, a. P.-790001. About 1000 to 2000 personnel (Engineers/officers, workmen etc, people of village) from various states of india have been posted here and are enggaged in construction work of the project, one of the airtel tower installed at top of the hill near bichom r & r village is in very bad condition as its network had been disappear since the main telecommunication service was your network by which people use to connect with their families. But it has been noticed that from last 3 to 4 month your network has been in worst condition, we have lodged complained so many times to restore your service but no any major action has been taken up yet due to which everybody is suffering a lot. As such consideration the difficulty of the people stationed in this remote location, your kind intervention for early restoration of the same is highly solicited.
