Hi all,
Its merely been over a month i ported my postpaid cell no. from Vodafone to Airtel, after facing a couple of network/data related issues with Voda & falling for best connectivity as well as unmatched customer experience claims made by Airtel. Since the thread under discussion is not network, so i’ll not pass on any verdict here, moreover, its just been a month i am on their n/w as of now. However, just after paying my first month bill without even having a glimpse at the itemised bill as usual, this morning i was surfing thru my mailbox & just like that i opened up the e-bill delivered to me by Airtel and i was shocked to see that they have charged me around 175 bucks for sending out some intl. sms’s to a UK based phone number[protected]. Just out of curiosity, i googled for that particular UK no. & know what, i landed here. Unfortunately, above instance certainly affirms to the fact that Airtel has been taking its customers on for a ride. Customers like me & i am sure there are thousands out there, won’t even bother looking at the monthly itemized bills, just pay whatever the amount is, are being cheated in masses by an oldest & numerouno Cellular services provider in the country which ranks no.2 in mobile phone subscriber base. Well, to my surprise it was my first bill cycle, i wish they could have been little more patient & played such gimmicks of swelling their share values by silently drilling a hole in the pocket of its valuable customers. Period. Thanks but no thanks Airtel,
Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
I have paid for new broadband connection on 2.7.19 but still haven't received my connection.
When ever I call them they just say we will get back to you
I have got my broad printed with the landline number which they alloted
I am not getting able to receive any SMS in my Airtel sim. Whereas everything works fine in jio sim in the same phone. I have raised the issue multiple times. But, I am not getting any solution.
Please help.
I ported my number from idea to airtel. After getting no service on my idea sim I switched the sim to airtel as i was told. After inserting the sim there was no service. Please help me to activate the services.

            2. I have a recharge on it.
            So why you are taking so much time.

            I tried raising this issue through Airtel app but I see no response. It keeps showing that a new tower will be installed but everytime I look at it the date keeps getting postponed.
            Landline is not working properly phone line is dead ... network issue is increased pls request to improve your service

              My prepaid mobile number is [protected] and there is an existing pack of Rs 448 which is valid till 30th Aug 2019. Inspite of this, today they have debited Rs 23 for another pack for 28 days without any request from me. So I requested Airtel to cancel that new pack and re credit the amount of Rs 23 immediately but there is no response. Every 28 days they do like this.(debiting my account for new pack while there is an existing pack in force.)

                  Address: Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, 201310

                  I've been using Airtel Sim from the past 4 years. I never faced any issue regarding voice breaking on calls till I recently changed my android phone. The phone is working perfectly fine because I tried a sim from other service provider and there wasn't any issue o[censored]nclear voice. But with Airtel sim, When on call, Voice of the other person is very unclear, it breaks in between and most of the times, I'm unable to hear anything. Please resolve...

                          Airtel customer support team is not considering my issue... They simply seeking time but none is fixing it. Whenever i give a call, they say we are taking inputs and escalating the same to network team. But they are not providing any status regarding my issue. They don't have whether the network team is working on my issue or not.
                          I have connected multiple times to floor manager... They simply keep on raised tickets on my number. But all of them are in open status. Here is the upic reference no.:ccnor[protected].
                          Out of 84 days of my plan...40 days i'm out of 4g data services. July 23 my plan will be expire, but still they seeking time to fix it. No one is taking action regarding my issue. I asked them to provide the general manager no, but they haven't provided. So please consider my issue and provide a resolution.

                            Hi, I have made a request internal relocation of my Airtel Digital TV within the same premises due to some building works done. I have raised a request number[protected] on 8th July 2019, they said my request will be attended and complete in 24 hours time, i waited 24 hours but got no response, called to airtel digital tv Customer care they said before 5pm the work will be done, but no response at all after 5 and 48 hours also.. like this i waited from 8th July 2019 to 11th July 2019. Some times they said due to heavy rains in Mumbai the engineer was unable to take tickets, some time they said the assigned team was not responding so they have to raise a compliant through email and i was asked to wait for another 24 hours of time for their email response from assignee team to get the reply. When i called to customer care one guy name "Prashanth" attended my call and he was very rude to me and said still i need to wait another 24 hours of time, when i asked him if this issue is not resolved in 24 hours of time shall i go to consumer forum to complaint? then he said, wait another 24 hours for resolution otherwise go ahead do whatever you want .. he said like in non polite manner.. was it my mistake to take airtel digital tv to listen all these kinds of no polite words from them?
                            They said they will refund my money, yes, they will refund the money but should they refund my pain which was taken by me all these 4 days ? all these 4 days i missed my entertainment my child missed her kids channels entertainment? should they refund my all these fun and entertainment?

                            I need they should be punish so that no one can face this type of pain from airtel digital tv again.
                            No proper contact for complaints no proper contact person for escalations no proper time to resolve the issues no proper messages no proper response from customer care or higher officials when issue escalations.

                            Attached are some messages screen shots that i got from airtel custome care when i called to them. They shows how many times i have contacted them and same message i received from them.

                            so, request you to take this issue as priority and do the needful for me.

                            Thanks,
                            Rajendra Gangadhar

                              Dear team, i have requested on 15-march-19 to disconnect my 6 month plan which i have opted. I got surprise sms and call on may month from airtel your due amount is 599 which was not opted by me. After multiple call with them then they said send one more disconnect request for this as well so i told why i will send this request again which i have not opted.
                              Final i have request to disconnect this plan as well on 30-may-2019. Still i am getting call from airtel to pay the amount which is not used by me.

                              Landlone no is [protected]

                              Now they generating bill every month and till now the bill is rs 1761.47 generated. Kindly help on the same.

                              Now they are asking from me proof where i have requested the disconnect request. I was every time telling to them give me service request no over sms or email but they didnt send me.

                                I stay in nallagandla, hyderabad and have a very poor service from airtel since last 1 year. Have raised many complaints but the service still remaina poor. There is never proper call/data signal and i cant even talk for a minute continuously. Still, i am being charged every month 299rs+tax and have been paying it because i did not want to lose the number as it is registered at many places. The carrier has moved me to 299 plan without my confirmation and drastically reduced my free sms facility. Recently, i had to use the service sending some sms and since i am not aware of the changes in plan, i have sent many sms assuming sms service is free. However, i was charged for it. And the charges are very high.

                                How can airtel change my plan without any confirmation from me and charge me such a way. Also, without any signal and service, how can they charge me montly huge amounts of bill.

                                Also, If I pay my bill little late, then extra charges are charged for my poor payment. So, how would airtel compensate me for their poor service.

                                In One of my SMS, I have added an extra 0 by mistake and the SMS was sent to[protected] instead of [protected]. This was charged as international SMS. Without even knowing existence of the number, I would not consider this is delivered. I tried to make a call on this number and I get a message International service not available on this number. When the service is not available, how are you sure that the SMS was delivered and why am I charged for it.

                                Also, when I try to call on helpline number 121, there is no way I could talk to any executive to solve my issue. the IVR options itself were not working at all and I dont listed to options properly. It just says 1, 2, 3, 4 but we do not know what happens when we press those number. very poor customer care service.

                                Why should I pay 350rs every month without even one proper service from airtel. I demand a compensation of all the amount i paid with taxes since last one year, and the stress I had to undertake because of their poor service.
