Address: On the connceting lane between Kachari Rd & Cicus maidan Rd, 713130

The airtel store staffs at katwa in west bengal, loacted on the connecting lane of kachari road and circus maidan road forced me to pay rs.130/- for opening airtel payment bank account whreas i got the balance of rs.100/- in my savings account.

Even they are charging for sim upgradation to 4g, which they are not supoosed to take.

When i asked the reason for taking extra money which is nothing but undertable money, they started musbehaving with me.

Merely notifying them will not work, will it ?It eill not change their habit hopefully . You can seen then still dojng the same thing .
They should be given showcause letter rather . Further such touting may hamper their career .

I have seen customers coming to point & going being unhappy murmering that they may leave airtel services if such things go on .

They are getting salary from airtel and doing such fraud scheme . Will you let this happen ?

It will, at the end of the day, will reduce the customer of airtel in that particular zone .

I am telling these beacuse I have been a airtel customer since years and I care for .

        Hi team,

        This is regarding conversion of number [protected] from postpaid to prepaid.

        On 14th march, we have raised a request for conversion for the mentioned number from postpaid to prepaid at airtel customer care in chrompet, chennai.

        The executive told it will get converted into prepaid in 4 days and the outgoing will be disconnected, after that we need to recharge accordingly.

        The outgoing got disconnected on 17th march, but still now we are not able to recharge the number. Whilst recharging we are getting the message please enter a valid prepaid number.

        I have tried calling customer care multiple times to resolve this issue, they are saying it has been converted from postpaid to prepaid. But still i am not able to recharge number for the past 2 weeks and i am facing much difficulties because of this.

        Can you please check and do the needful to resolve this issue at the earliest?

        Attaching the snapshots for the reference.

        Thanks.

            This is not expected from aitel dth for closing my regular channels and now they have no plans and they do not info us and closed our channels and we are like a fool paying for nothing i think airtel should stop there pathetic service and compensate my money back. They should know before editing anyone's account they should inform us and when i am using all my channels in my previous connection how can they imagine that i don't require those channels.

                Hi,
                Recently in february airtel auto changed my existing plan.in the sms i received it was mentioned that the plan was upgraded to unlimited calling with 100 sms free. It was done automatically and i lost the 70 gb data that was saved in my existing plan. Nothing related to data was mentioned in mentioned while upgrading to new plan automatically. When i raised this issue to customer care team, they said they will look into this issue and gave me a sr number and the issue was not resolved or addressed. When i called customer care again regarding this, they said they don't have any sr on this and that customer care person was lying completely. Is there anything that can be done to regarding this? I am airtel customer from past 15 years and i feel cheated.

                      The offer states that you'll receive 450 cashback and unlock coupon of 50 on recharge o[censored]nlimited pack of 448. I did the recharge through my airtel app and got the 50 rs coupon instantly but didn't receive the cashback if 448 rs. I received 2 messages for recharge confirmation but no message for cashback. I also called the airtel customer care and spoke to an agent and she had no clue about the offer and couldn't help me resolve it. She asked me to visit the outlet. Please help.

                          My airtel dth customer id is [protected]-001. I recharged my account for one year package of ₹2994 from july 2018 to july 2019. But from last two-three months i am unable to watch the channels of my package. When i contact my service provider he said that according to trai guidelines you have to make your pack of choice channels. But when i try to submit channels of my choice, system was showing low balance i. E., (-) minus 10₹. As i have done a recharge of ₹2994 in july 2018. According to that 6 month of subscription was remaining in my account. I have called airtel dth customer care so many times but no one given a satisfactory answer. When i try to make my pack from airtel.in/selfcare but the account balance was showing (-) minus 10₹. An employee named rajani suggested me to recharge account with minimum ₹200 to take benefit of services. As my last year ₹2994 recharge was not fruitful for me how can they suggest ₹200 recharge will be fruitful. I had aleady make so many complaints to airtel dth customer care through email, but they are repeating the same to recharge your account and make your pack. But i am unable to make my pack. I have requested so many times to compensate me for my loss, but they are silence on this issue. There is no step taken by them to resolve the issue. Today when i have made a complaint before the nodal officer by email, someone from airtel called me and explained that, trai has given us guidelines to deactivate the account without any compensation. They have taken a wrongful loss to me by deactivation of my account and not making any compensation to me in any form and airtel in collusion with trai have taken a wrongful gain by unlawfully deduct my account balance from my account. This conduct of airtel company and trai is a cheating with their customers. I had suffered a lot by this irresposible and illegal act of the company. Kindly take necessary steps to resolve this issue.

                            I contacted the nodal office ([protected], kerala circle) when i input my sr number it says incorrect.
                            Neither is the sr reflecting on myairtel app. This has also been informed to the airtel office, aluva branch, ernakulam.

                            I have been told that my issue can not be resolved at the moment since the nearest network tower is getting updated. I would like to know, how long will the service provider give the same reason.
                            It's been over 7 months now, since the complain being raised.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                I am an airtel customer for past 5-6 years.
                                On 31 december i applied for conversion from prepaid to postpaid.
                                It took 1 week before was request was rejected for no reason.
                                I went to airtel store and complained. They converted my number to postpaid using some other method than the usual one, saying it is a faster way.

                                Now i am not getting the some of the airtel thanks benefits. When contacted airtel they said something about plan downgrade and upgrade, which i explained and proved to them that it was done by their executive and not me.

                                For over 2 months i am contacting them over call, mail, social media, everywhere i can connect with them.
                                But no resolution. They just repeat the same answer again and again - "we are looking into your matter and will come up with a resolution as soon as possible."
                                I have no idea what they have been looking at for 2 months.

                                I am very very disappointed with such low level, poor customer complaint resolution process and executives.

                                Attached is a screen shot of twitter chat with them, showing their same repetitive replies.
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                I have taken new connection of airtel dth on 3 march, since they have given 1 month free subscription to channel
                                On 15 march, my account got suspended And viewing Low balance
                                Can airtel explain me How this Happen?

                                It's been only 13 days and my plan expired?
                                Dear sir/madam

                                i would be highly greatful to you i[censored] provide me the details of incoming and outgoing calls 3 month for my airtel prepaid no.[protected][protected], on my email id [protected]@gmail.com mentioned above.
                                thanking you

                                Sir /Madam,
                                I have recharged my airtel number two times of smart recharge pack but it seems to be that my balance is still Rs. 0.13. So that I can't make calls or SMS and I can't get the line for customer care too. Please look into the problem and find a solution

                                  I have a prepaid connection. When the recharge period is about to end, every time 3 days before, when i make a call, i get disturbing voice message stating that the validity is expiring o so ans o day and if not recharged rs 23 will be deducted form main ac...
                                  This is happening every day and every call i dial.
                                  Are you threatening the customer and you want to exit from the service provider like you... Jio is not doing such disturbance... Do you want to loose customers like this as already the company is loosing customer base...
                                  Pl stop this nonsense disturbance and send only msg... We know the expiry and will do the recharge on our own..
                                  So pl stop this disturbance immediately
                                  Thanks

                                    I availed an airtel dth connection from a retail store. But they provided me an stb number which was not ours. I came to know when i recharged it. On contacting the store i was given a different stb no. But when i want to log in into airtel app i was amazed to see the mobile number not ours. On contacting the customer care i came to know the name was also different. When i told the airtel cust. Care to change they asked me queries for verification. How can i know whose name it is registered and the mobile number. I am still not able to change.

                                      I have tried to recharge my account through mobikwik .. And a txn id is initiated and send to me through message.. But my account is still not recharged.. Its a recharge of rs 399. It's really urgent. I will be thankful i[censored] would resolve the problem soon.. Please response fast
                                      My Airtel number is [protected]. I have been using this number for almost 4-5 years. It was active until October 2018 even when I was overseas and used to get roaming information through SMSs. All of a sudden it stopped and when I recharged my SIM in January 2019, money was deducted from my bank account but not credited to my SIM. After coming to India in March I went to Airtel office to ask about this issue. The customer 'care' rep who was absolutely carless about my concern simply told me that my number is now given to someone else and that I have to call them and ask if they want to let go my number. Only then he can give me a postpaid connection with the same number. I questioned him why my number was given to someone else without informing me atleast through an sms? Besides my main concern was that this number is associated with all my bank accounts and my sensitive bank details like OTPs and balances are being sent to that number. Of course he seemed to careless about any of my concerns and simply dusted his hands off and refused to even do anything.
                                      This is my formal complaint to AIRTEL. If I dont see this resolved I will be taking my next step to formally complaining to consumer forum.
                                      Dear sir,
                                      This is inform you that I am facing issues regarding data speed in my area.
