Address: Bc corporation visakhapatnam, 530017

My mobile number was tapped from today morning till evening. A short beep sound is been noticed at relugular intervals. I want to know the details of the person tapped and the reason for it. Any authority had permitted for the same to tap my numbers. I have stopped the signal for some time at 7.00pm for half an hour. Later i have noticed that beep sound is not coming. The same was brought to the notice of commissioner of police. Visakhapatnam in writing also.

    I have issue with Airtel Internet service.
    Issue I am facing from more then 10 days.

    I have frequently chased customer care service and raised the complain but there is no response. Every time customer the matter has been escalated, and will get call back from network team. But still there is no response from Airtel Team.

    I post paid user I use to pay almost 800 rs per month to Airtel for the service.

    Please guide with proper step.

            I had raised a request to split my two set top boxes and transfer one of them to another location on 30 april 2019, at that time they told me i will get a call back from back end team in 48 hrs as they can only split the connection
            Even after 4 days i have not received any call back
            I have called customer care thrice since then and every time i get absurd assurance that they will arrange call back in 2 hrs, half hr etc.
            This is beyond ridiculous, airtel has opened customer care service as a joke and fool people.
            There is no alternative also apart from talking to these people over phone
            Airtel should just stop providing services if incompetency level are so high

                  Dear sir/madam

                  Yesterday i purchased airtel dthconnection. I had called to airtel dth services center and booked new connection. After 1 hrs airtel dth customer care called me and i told them that i am interested in a new construction for dth. I was asking which channel is are there in the connection. She told your choices i told give me all hind channel, sports, english and news channels, she told rs 292 package all hindi sport and news channel will be coming.
                  Yesterday dt 02/05/2019 evening 18.15 hrs installed and told 1 hrs active but today 12.10hrs the dth got actived. I checked all channel 80% free channel no hindi sports channels. Airtel dth company never showed us the pamphlet and we never selected any channel of it. I just book new contection online after. They called me 8 to 10 they give us the worng information. I had call customer care and they give worng information about package diteails and about channel.
                  I told costumer care that if i don't like the channel and services and they should take the set-up box within 24 hrs and they should return the money back. Customer care cannot refund the money back. Dth id no [protected]
                  Can you take a strict action against them and try to refund my money back.

                  Thanks & regards

                          In order to purchase from myntra app i had to put minimum balance in the airtel app as per my purchase. The app shows an option related to transferring the money back to the account. However while selecting transfer to bank it shows the service is not available. This message o[censored]navailability of transferring back to account should be displayed beforehand itself.

                          Further none of the customer care number given on site or on app works. The required information is not available as an option in the call. The employees are negligent enough to not reciprocate to the call as i kept calling on few mobile numbers.
                          Few of the numbers dialed were 121, 400,[protected], [protected], [protected],[protected],[protected], [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected] etc.

                          This problem is suffered by many people still not resolved.
                          I. E. Undue and non-informed callous nature of airtel with their app and uninterested customer care services and employees.

                          Transferred on 03 may 2019 to airtel wallet for purchase to be done.

                          Wasted my 3 hours for calling each and every number and did not receive any fruitful result.

                          As a solution the amount paid by me (Rs 1500) to the wallet should be refunded back and no such incident should occur in the future.

                          Either app should be updated or the features unavailable should be informed prior itself so that this incident does not repeat itself in future.

                          Airtel hasbnit reciprocated and doesnot have the courtesy to talk to the clients. However the airtel app is awful in all possible ways. The helpline given for calls and mails donot work at all. In such cases it would be better if they dont provide the mail id at all. What is the use of the id when it always has to be unavailable. Useless service provider would say. Switching to other providers. Literal meaning of sab try karo fir sahi chuno. Atleast could eliminate airtel from the list of all people I could possibly inform.

                            As we are pre paying for the DTH services, they are deducting money by quoting whatever reasons they want. Recently i asked them to lock my subscription as i am out of town for a month. But they paid deaf eye and all the amount(230rs) is deducted. Now when i call them, they just say sorry. I happened twice to me. Previously also they deducted 200rs saying some regional package charges, which was never mentioned in any packages to us

                              I have a prepaid number of Airtel. As per Regulation 8 of Telecom Consumer Protection Regulations 2012, a service provider is required to provide the call details to a customer on its request. I made a request to customer support but they denied by saying that since I'm on a unlimited plan. The request cannot be taken. Airtel, Please do something. I need my call details urgently. I have also applied their process EPREBILL but nothing happened. Please tell me how can I get my call details.

                                    I have made a payment of inr 592 towards my postpaid bill for the registered airtel mobile numbwer +91-[protected] on 03 may 2019. The amount got deducted from my bank and i haven't received any payment confirmation message from airtel. When i checked with airtel team, they mentioned that the payment is received but due to a network issue my data services are not up and running and they will resolve by 06th may 2019. Request you to intervene in this matter to get the issue resolved and bring back my services up and running.

                                    Thanks & regards

                                        Address: Kolkata, 700084

                                        My son upamanyu bhattacharya subscribed for an airtel connection for wireless internet connection using hotspot device on my behalf against a six month advance rental plan for 399 every month and paid rs. 2832/- for the service in advance before activation of the connection. He got a service number [protected] against the payment and a hotspot device. Within a month he received a bill for rs. 432/- for the connection and when contacted airtel customer care they said that the gst amount has not been paid at the time of service so he had to pay that. After long argument we sent a scan copy of the bill both to airtel customer care and airtel appellate. Next day they responded back saying that was minor mistake and they have adjusted the account. After few days they sent a text message saying a bill of rs. 2400/- was overdue and advised to pay immediately to avoid "disconnection". Again when contacted the customer care they said our payment was not clear in their system so we have to visit the store take the money back and initiate a fresh payment. We reluctantly visited the store and the store manager said that he was not aware of any such system and said after checking the system that it was an accounting problem with airtel and advised to ignore the message. On 10th of april, at around 4 in the afternoon they disconnected the connection and when we contacted the customer care they said that was for non-payment of bill. At that point we wanted to put an end to the ridiculous system and wanted to surrender the connection and demanded a refund of the un-utilised part of payment we made. Since then we went through at least 40 email correspondences and hour long telephone conversation and after a point we said we do not need any refund only disconnect the service. Airtel preferred not to listen any of our requests and continued with the process which is still going on.in that process they made us spend at least 10 hours by way of writing mails, complaining and resending all documents which besides wasting enough time for us and created enough of mental anxiety. Now my question is why airtel should not pay adequate compensation for their gross negligence in duties and failing to serve a customer against payment?

                                        Airtel refunded the money after deduction of consumption period after several months. Though not a pleasant experience calling a dozen of time and writing so many emails, but thanks for the resolution.
