    activation of international roaming without consumer consent

    Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

    During my recent international travel observed my phone received whatsup msg, immediately switched off the data. But at the end of month when received bill of rs. 1200 against regular rs. 350, upon checking was confirmed by airtel that "international roaming was activated without my consent" in the name of pre-activated service. I have traveled to other country two months back, then never happened, but now they are saying it is as per policy....

    Hey team, back when airtel volte services started rolling out in my region (Odisha, bhubaneswar), i was able to use volte services. From a few months volte isn't coming on my sim. My father and my friend uses airtel and they've volte enabled on their sim. I've a jio sim too and it works flawlessly.

    P. S. No network issues or calling issues, it's just that volte service isn't coming. I was a member of the beta roll out and one of the first members to get volte.

    Region: odisha, bhubaneswar, old town area
    4g sim: yes

This number is not taken up by anyone, and the number is unreachable. I would like to get this number back. As you know loop mobile is no longer in existence and it is acquired by airtel.

                SET-TOP BOX CHARGES
                CUSTOMER ID: [protected]

                MY AIRTEL DTH SET-TOP BOX STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. THE COMPLAINT LODGED WITH CUSTOMER CARE TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ENGINEER FROM AIRTEL CALL ME BY THIS NUMBER [protected] AND SUGGESTED TO BUY NEW ONE OR SECOND HAND. HE MENTIONED CHARGES OF 350/- FOR SECOND HAND AND 1650/- Rs WITH 6 MONTHS WARRANTY.

                I WANT AIRTEL TO CLARIFY THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS MADE BUY YOUR EMPLOYEES (CUSTOMER CARE/SERVICE ENGINEER/AREA MANAGER etc):

                1. How does AIRTEL have the ownership of set-top box after charging the customer with full market value of set-top box?
                2. Why AIRTEL does not take ownership of faulty set-top boxes and their maintenance?
                3. Why AIRTEL supplying set-top boxes with 6 months warranty? Why customer forced to accept such vulnerable boxes?
                4. What does AIRTEL do with the set-top boxes collected upon DTH disconnection?
                5. If setup box belongs to Airtel, then setup box maintenance comes under airtel.

                Please listen to recent call data on this customer ID for further clarification.

                This is very very unfair business AIRTEL is doing with its customer. Please look into the issue and replace my money without any further delay.

                Thanks & Regards,

                    My airtel network sucks every time. They call it India's fastest 4g network but it is the worst network i have used.data speed doesn't go above 50kb/sec. Worst experience. The customer service say it is because of congestion. How are u leading the company if you can't solve your network problems. From day 1 of my unlimited pack i have not been able to completely use my data pack. What kind of data service is this and u call it India's fastest 4g network. My city is a smart city and here u can't satisfy customer services means ur company is not fit for calling fastest 4g network.

                      Dear team,

                      With due respect i hereby submit my grievances for your reputed company prompt necessary action.

                      That, in the year 2017 february a man numbering 6-10 persons claiming themselves as an employee of bharti airtel called me from kolkota as stated by themselves and some from noida and gurugram.

                      They convinced me and a deal for installation of 4g mobile tower at my premises was assured to me.

                      Since february 2017 till date may 2019 i have paid and deposited a huge money as per their demand and direction since they have taken the name of bharti airtel (Papers of proof certificate in company name is available with me) but even now there is no result after this much of pending reason after another reason.

                      Hence, i request your esteemed authority to kindly look into my genuine problem which i feel now is being cheated by this people. Now they have started for cancellation proposal.

                      They also issued me many documents, proposals, noc, trai papers, dividend prize e brouchers, letter in email, all this soft and hard copies are available for witness.

                      This people are still in contact with me through phone etc.

                      Thus, i earnestly submit this complaint to your esteem higher company authority for speedy action at the earliest possible time.

                                Address: 299/1 , BANA DURGA MANDIR LANE, South side of Kalinga Stadium, Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar, Khordha, Odisha, 751012

                                I have an airtel dth connection. I am not getting signal and complained about it since 11th may. Its a severe cyclone occured here in bhubaneswar on 3rd may due to which it happened. I called them several times, mailed them several times. Each time they assured me to resolve my issue. Everytime their customer care executive told me to refer my case in priority and each time they promised me to solve it within 24 hrs. But till date they failed. It seems they dont have enough man power but continue to make customers fool to resolve issue as earliest. Had the told me the actual fact, i may arrange a local mechanic by my own to resolve my issue. Instead, they are just lying everytime, giving hopes only. If they fail to provide me service in time, why should they charge money for those lost days signals since 11th may. Is nt it illegal? If i resolve it by my side why they would not be responsible to pay that expenditure? Because being a customer i can not wait for more days as i have lost my trust in them. When we have no sufficient balance they immediately dusconnect our signals then hiw can they claim the money fir those lost signal days?
                                The manner, the attitude, the response, the service, all are the worst that i felt.
                                I would never recommend anyone to be a customer of such irresponsible, unethical, unproffessional, lying company if airtel dth.

                                The airtel team have not contacted me till now. I had to resolve the issue by myself by paying fee to a local mechanic here. Even the organization does not have a general coursey to reply to my mails so far.

                                    The internet speed has been terrible since past 1 month. 4G isn’t working at all and 3G is also pathetically slow. It takes hours to load anything for that matter and is really frustrating. Its sad to say that Airtel has been really disappointing nowadays. Requesting you to Kindly do the necessary at the earliest.
