Address: Lenskart Shanti Colony, Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I had paid 2170 from +[protected] to lenskart today, and was promised 250rs. Cashback.. Did not receive any cashback.

I had paid 2170 rs. For 2 spectacles, despite having other modes of payments like phonepe, paytm, i chose airtel money and i totally regret that decision now. Such an unpleasant experience from your end
Request you to kindly look into the issue and revert back. There is no proper means to complain about the same like for other payment modes such as paytm, phone or etc.

    Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, 500089

    The new connection is given on 06-mar-2019 and even after 48 hours no channel is coming. Despite several calls to customer care they are not able to provide me the channels. Every call they ask for all the details like customer id, account no, stb no, vc no. Frustrated with their services, raised a complaint for refund but it will take 15 days.

    For new connection they have responded in less than 2 hours and for service no response even after 48 hours. They are taking customers for granted.

          Hi,
          This is Amitkumar Khante from Nagpur. I got your Airtel Digital TV connection DTN No [protected] Jan 2019. Last month I selected my package on TV on 17 th feb and got the sms from your side that “thanks for selecting package and we will confirm the same in 48 hours” when I did not get confirmation from your side. But I did not got any confirmation so I called to your customer care and they said to recharge Rs 474. Which I done recharge on 19 th Feb 2019.
          But in 5 March my TV package deactivated and I called to customer care he said my monthly amount is 870 when I said I did not selected these much of channels he made a complaint and said with in 12 hours I will get call. When I did not got a call then I again call to customer care and she said there are two packages activated in my account so she will remove one package which I did not select before and recharge for 474. I done recharge but when I went to home and start my TV my account not active then again I call to customer care she transfer phone to excelation department where that person said he activated my old package. Again he made me fool and activated some other package.

          What kind of service you people provide?
          Who is responsible for my money loss?
          To whom we need to believe?
          Whether I have to cancel my subscription from you?
          Waiting for reply

                  Hi, i recently went to maldives on my honeymoon. When i reached there, i was charged around 45k amount for using the data services. These data service is the leakage data which happened without my knowledge. When i got message of 11k, i tried to contact service provider through sms but was not sending. I am struggling with airtel from past 1 month but at first they kept me saying to wait till the bill is generated. Now as the bill generated, i am not getting any help form them. My internal roaming was activated without my knowledge and also the threshold which was 4.5k was not applied when the bill was getting generated. Also when i tried to deactivate the roaming services, message was not sending due to network issue.
                  What can i do in this case. I want to fight this in court. Also i have seen many people are wrongly charged by these service providers.
                  Please please please help

                    Im using airtel dth service for past 2 months, i did recharge of rs. 290 on 3rd march 2019, as per plans available on airtel app. (Attaching the payment receipt). Afterwards my airtel dth service resumed.

                    Unfortunately dth service worked smoothly only for more ore less 30 minutes, later it suddenly stopped working. Msg appeared on screen that "your account or service has been suspended due to low balance in account."

                    From that day (3rd march) i repeatedly trying to call airtel dth customer care service number [protected], but it kept me on waiting, no representative was available to answer the call and resolve the issue for next 3 days.

                    I am most annoyed when airtel's representative answered my call on 6th march and told me that "there is some bug or technical error because of that it is showing zero balance in your account. We can not do anything from here, except registering complain about service issue and will forward it our technical team".

                    Airtel dth complain reference number[protected]

                    Because such bad service, even i fully paid for the dth package am unable to watch tv. Service is still suspended till date.

                    I trust this is not the way that awful company wishes to conduct business with valued customers.

                    I request to resolve my account issue and add more days for which im unable to watch tv.

                    I hope i will get dth pack amount refunded in to my account and service will resume.

                    Thanks & regards

                        I am an airtel mobile consumer bearing mobile number [protected] for the last 3 months. All the airtel data packs are priced very high. I have been recharging the unlimited data packs for the last few months. Inspite of that, i am not receiving the advertised services.
                        Here are the listed defects in the services offered by them:
                        Internet speed is 200kbps at my location in berhampur, odisha (Unlike the advertised speed of 4-5 mbps),
                        Myairtel app is not opening up in my device (It should give info regarding data, balance and complaints)
                        198 complaint number which is a paid number to place complaints with the customer service. I am asking why should it be paid to talk with customer service. Are they running call girl sevices?
                        Frequent call drops, noisy calls and signal fluctuation.

                        I have been complaining to their appellate authority regarding these deficiency in services but still i haven't received a satisfactory response till now. They simply acknowledge the deficiency in services but it hasn't been resolved till now except the speed issue which shows drastic fluctuations. The speed is very good only at night during 12a. M. - 8a. M. And after 7 p. M. Some days the speed drastically gets reduced to around 30kbps and that gets reset at midnight.

                        Adding to these complaints, i am not getting the promised data services since monday i. E. 4th march, 2019. I have been asking to rollover the data or pay the compensatory price. But they have denied this sort of compensation every time i have asked them to do so.

                        Please guide me what can i do next.
                        I have complained at the national consumer helpline and the government's public grievance portal but still the best resolution offered to my until know is to visit the consumer forum. Going physically to the consumer forum for every other problem everyday is not a feasible solution being offered to me is what i feel.

                              Airtel has lost its credibility. Unable to withstand competition from JIO, it is fleecing its customers, especially the prepaid customers. Why should Airtel expect me to recharge my prepaid number before the close of the validity period ? I may not need its services for a few days, or I may wantonly plan to recharge after a week or two. Why should Airtel deduct Rs.23 from my main balance, to extend the validity by 28 days, and that too without any voice, sms or data benefits ? Does this not amount to cheating and fraud ? Trai should take up this issue immediately and show Airtel its place. My another surprise is how the telco companies arrived at 28 days validity ? If I have to recharge on the 28th day to avoid the deduction of Rs.23, my validity starts from that day itself, effectively bringing the validity period to 27 days. How corrupt these corporates have become ?

                                My credit card was auto debited with 589.62 today at 2:07 am without pin/otp. Please look into this and reverse the charges. I have never used the card from my end. This seems to be some sort of fraud that you have to take care from your end. I have seen similar kind of complaints raised by other consumers reporting the same issue. There is no solution that you have given so far. How are we going to resolve this i need an answer and update... I'll report this in all social media about airtel

                                  Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 169 and had activated a pack for next 28 days.

                                  Next using 'phone pe' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 169 and pack for next 28 days.

                                  I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

                                  Now they were not ready to refund it as it was done through third party app (Phone pe) where in they were ready to refund it if was done through airtel app.

                                  Does it make sense?? No matter how you pay money i was paying it to airtel.

                                  Kindly look into this at the earliest and i am ready to provide you all yhe the transaction details as i want to find a solution for this by having the money refunded.

                                  Thank you.
