On my mobile value added service has been directly activated by airtel and charges have been mentioned in my bill of march 2019, which display value added service chages for 18th and 30th march without my consent. How airtel can directly activate and add any valued added service without consent o[censored]ser and heavy bill has been charged by them. This is one kind of cheating to customer.

      I am prepaid airtel customer for 8 years. I now use the airtel app to topup my talktime and data for internet usage. Everytime i topup my balance remains zero!!! Plus when i call landlines, espeically air india, i get a message saying i have zero balance and can't make this call. Then another message come alive and tells me i can get ten rupees credit by pressing 1. Then the message says i can't get ten rupees because i have an outstnding balance due of ten rupees. Are you madd??? This is insane. Whats going on??? What does it take to make landline calls to air india... A well known airline??? Of course. [protected].

              I paid my airtel bill on 30th march using google pay and the transaction failed. Assuming that the money will be refunded to my bank account i made another payment for my bill via myairtel app and completed the transaction.

              However, it has been 30 days now and the money is not refunded. I confirmed from hdfc bank that the amount is credited to airtel and then spoke to customer care, nodal office and twitter support but they have not resolved the issue.

              This is a real blunder from airtel. Please help

                Iam a airtel dth customer

                As per the trai rules operators offered us some channel bouquets and sun broadcasters are having two packs name sun kerala basic and sun kerala hd

                The basic pack includes 4 channels and basic hd also includes 4 channel but in basic hd surya hd channel is not included in airtel but the sun broadcasters have included it and when i call airtel dth they say surya hd was added only few months ago but it have been 3 month i think they said you have to chose it as alacarte for rs.19 with tax. Why i have to chose like that with extra money there are many packs like this in airtel dth and other dth and cable also which not include all channels but the channel will be available as a la carte. So trai must warn all cable and dth operator to give all channel which is included in broadcaster bouquets and are available in their dth platform. Iam also uploading the proof.

                    I have upgraded my sim from 2g to 4g yesterday evening on 28 april, 2019 (Sunday). Until 10 am also my sim is not activated. I have called several times to customer care and also messaged on 121 for sim activation but in vain. Being such a reputable telecom service provider, i did not expected such a wasteful service. The urgency is that i am traveling today and i wanted to upgrade my sim so that, before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, my sim starts working. Please take it on priority. Looking forward to a quick action.

                        Hey, I have done a recharge of 169 using paytm and my father also recharge the same amount in a shop. Is there any way to get refund.
                        I am worried that the network coverage is very worst in this airtel. They say you would get network in Himalayas also. But first tell them to provide tower in main areas. Damn lie in this network. I don't like this airtel. I want to change my network.

                              Hi,

                              I am resident of eros sampoornam greater noida. We have common satellite disc in our tower. Last month dth it did not work for 3 days. 2 weeks ago it was not working for 2 days on weekend (Code b001), now today again it is showing b001 code and signal is coming.

                              We are not getting services properly, and airtel is charging on daily basis, whether dth is working or not.

                              Why should we pay for the day it is not working.

                              Thanks
                              Ashutosh

                                  I have purchased this new set top box from airtel recently. Since i was going out of town for next 2 weeks, i didn't recharge my account. Now my dth subscription has got suspended which is fine.

                                  Problem that i am facing now is i am not able to watch anything like prime video or zee5 or voot. I don't understand how these two are related since these apps should run with or without my airtel account getting suspended. Airtel customer care doesn't even have an idea about what i am talking about.

                                  I would like them to take back their stb and return my money.

                                  Airtel is liable to be sued in courts by consumer groups and individuals as it is promising unlimited local and STD calls on it's prepaid 399/- plans but is not allowing 1860 calls, so it is commiting a fraud on customers, my number is [protected]
                                  I have recharged then also my outgoing calls are been not responding.

                                        I use airtel sim-prepaid i have been receiving calls from unknown numbers (All men). Each time a block a particular no., i receive call from another no.
                                        Additionally i have also started receiving whatsapp messages from unknown numbers too. These calls are very distressing as the dialer talks in an extremely cheap manner. Although i have been blocking the numbers, it hasn't helped in stopping these calls. Kindly look into the matter.
