Address: 679531

I requested in February to have my plan switched to 649 and accordingly have an add-on number cancelled. (as per the plan — 649 for one add-on). After months of follow up calls from me ... it finally was completed by the end of MAY. Accordingly, I am requesting a refund for charges above 649 for the MONTHS it took Airtel to complete this simple customer request.

Also — I purchased a 30-day international roaming pack — on the phone with an Airtel rep. I was not told that the pack automatically renews. I was shocked when I saw an additional 3999 added to my subsequent bill. I requested the 3999 to be removed from the charges (I purchased 30 days —nothing else). I even told the rep I was going to another country for only ONE month. I would have cancelled if I knew it auto-renewed. also when it auto-renewed I was not informed — only by seeing the charges already placed.

My latest ref number is:

[protected]

I am requesting according refund and bill adjustment.

I have also inquired about cancelling the account completely ... but the rep refused to tell me any info and told me to wait another 5 days.

I have spent HOURS AND HOURS of my life on the phone with Airtel for these very simple things.

I want my requests fulfilled.

      I have applied new Airtel DTH Connection on 6th June 2019 with SD box in poonamallee, chennai. The next day service person named Yasar ([protected]) installed HD box and said it will be activated within one hour. I asked him that I applied only for SD why are you installing HD box? He said that he was instructed to install that box only. I have chosen Cash on delivery so I payed the amount for SD Box only.

      From that time I am struggling with Airtel DTH Dealer Office for activation, one fellow from Airtel dealer office ([protected]) told that, it is HD box so you have to recharge 300 more for activation and he messaged me the customer ID which is [protected]. I checked with my booking and I have done recharge. After recharge, I called him twice he didn't picked up and he switched off. ([protected])

      Till now the number ([protected]) is in switched off mode, I called the service person Yasar ([protected]), who is harassing me with hard words.

      I don't know what to do with these irresponsible people. Above all I have payed the amount and listening to these actions.

      I made a mistake by choosing the airtel dth service. God only can save me!

          Hi

          I applied for MNP from idea prepaid to airtel prepaid on 1/june 2019.

          Thereafter i got a message on my idea sim that on 6 june 2019 at 10pm my number will get ported and after that i need to put the airtel sim into my phone.

          Now on both the sims there is no network.
          I have been missing important calls.
          Please do something about this asap.

          I contacted customer care on 198 but they are saying that don't have any information.

          My number : [protected]
          Name on which number is registered : Aditya Verma
          Alternate Contact number: [protected]

          Thanks

          Message from idea

                  Since last 10 years I am using this AirTel SIM and at the time of purchase of this SIM I have submitted my voter ID card and my photo but recently I found that my SIM is registered in the name of some other person. I have sent emails to the AirTel authorities and visited the Malakpet AirTel outlet requesting to rectify their mistake but in vain. The irresponsible AirTel authorities are saying that they don't know how is responsible for this mistake and telling me that only solution is I change my prepaid plan to postpaid plan but I don't need postpaid plan. Kindly do the needful.

                      My old sim was broken and i asked for the replacement and was given a new sim and told it would get activated within 2hrs but it has been more than 1week not yet activated and that sim on the phone is displaying the error as not registered on network.I was not able to contact to the customer care to raise the complaint and check the status of the sim. Please respond quick as most of my banking is linked over to the sim.

                                  Dear sir/Madam

                                  I am reaching out to you regarding my mobile services (service provider – Airtel). My mobile number is [protected]. My mother’s number is linked with my number under family plan. Airtel generated the bill for the month of April which was a shock of my life. I received a total bill of around Rs 5, 200 out of which around Rs 3, 800 was charged for SMS at Rs 5 per sms. Airtel is claiming that we sent around 789 smses.

                                  I would like to inform you that we have not sent any messages and sending so many messages within few days is impossible. Especially when there are likes of watsapps and other message services. All these charges are levied on my mother’s mobile number when she was in Jammu. She is not very comfortable sending text messages so there is no way she will send 789 odd text messages. I also reached out to airtel multiple times but every time they tell that these are valid charges. I am forwarding one of the emails below.

                                  I request you to kindly look into this matter. I have been paying my bills regularly but in this case I have not paid this bill yet. It would be great if you ask Airtel to deeply investigate into the matter and resolve it as soon as possible.

                                  Thanks and Regards
                                  Avni Singh

                                      I am sankar.
                                      I have moved from BSNL to airtel network, post activation(30/5/2019) my data is not working. i went to airtel showroom(Iyyappanthangal, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600056) and they give a new sim card. After few days the new one is not activated, again i visit to the store, they told me to wait for one more day. Again i went, they gave one more new sim card. I got a message from airtel, sim change is in progress(05/062019). But til now this is not yet activated.
                                      Showroom peoples are not picking the call.
                                      This is very very worst service from you end. Highly disappointed. Kindly help me to move to another good network ASAP.
