From my airtel prepaid number i checked on *121# for recharge plans and got an offer saying @ rs.92 6 gb data 28 days validity but after recharge i got just 7days validity. Customer care says we cant do anything. Airtel is mentioning wrong recharge plans on *121# and misleading customers. It says *121# is wrong number but its totally working with airtel showing correct balance validity other info, and if so then airtel must notify about wrong or changed number to customers but didn't. Operator should extend validity or refund the amount. Attaching screenshot of wrong misleading plans.

            Trai introduce new channel system for dth tv which is cumbersome and difficult to understand. Airtel is not responding phone calls and emails. No proper guidance how to make own pack as their mininimum pack is more then 300 rs month which costing me 600 rs per year then old pack which i was paying. After choosing pack you have to scan qr code which is to be scanned by downloading app of qr code. Why such things? It is nothing but harrasment. My id is [protected]. I tried lot and wasted time to contact them but no response.

                  Dear sir or madam,
                  Even after your directives and the obligation for airtel to provide lifetime free services and despite retaining balance in my account, it discontinued my services. First, are these companies telecom regulators? Second, how can they breach the contract? How can they use my funds when they discontinue my services? It's my hard earned money. Instead of improving their services this # company has chosen these techniques to improve arpu. Should it still continue be in business if it is not competitive? Because, same thing can be replicated in other industries. I don't see your influence on them as a regulator. I require you take strict and punitive action against them to seek reimbursements of amounts taken. Please refer screenshot attached. Blanking out my number to prevent telemarketing calls and inappropriate usage by others.

                  Regards,
                  A responsible citizen acting for the better of the republic of india

                      I have enabled international roaming on 26th dec’18 and completed my trip to be back in india on 31st dec’18 (While i left international location on 30th dec’18 only). I have asked to enable pack of rs.1199-/- and taxes. The usage was within range.

                      After coming to india, i saw an threatening message that account will be blocked. “usage alert: you have used 4271 mb approx rs3560 in international roaming on your airtel mobile as per the last update received. As a precaution, internet service will be temporarily blocked soon. To continue, sms yes to [protected]”.

                      I saw that as a threat after being customer for years and using airtel for my family. I immediately wrote to them and they have corrected the bill generated on 3rd jan’2019 for the dec’18 month till 2nd jan’19.

                      Once again when i was trying to pay feb’19 generated bill, faced the issue that they have added rs. 3, 623.48 and taxes of rs. 796.04. That made feb’19 bill of rs.5218.52-/-.

                      That issue got settled in jan’19 bill generated till 2nd jan’19 and after that there was no international travel. So there must be no further charges related to international roaming.

                      I communited the same to airtel customer care on 20th feb’19 and asked to remove these charges and generate fresh bill so that i can pay my normal bill. However i have paid normal bill of rs.942-/- with taxes. On call, customer care representative was showing arrogance that we can’t do anything and only can reduce rs. 1000-/- as goodwill gesture. I have made very clear that i am fighting for right things and it will be zero. I don’t need charity from airtel but stop harassing the customers.

                      I need remedy for the same to square of these undue charges and maintain my services.

                      Fyi i am sharing the interaction id with airtel as [protected] with their customer care. I asked for giving me complaint id but refused to share which is strange.

                      Pls help to get this fixed.

                          I have choosen hd channels while making my own pack and send the message by scanning the QR code and i have recharged my account by amount 358Rs
                          But they suspended my account and when i contact to customer care they misbehave with me and after that conversation they said u have requested for normal channel not hd and when i asked to make hd channel they said it would be only for 30 days.
                          I am highly frustated with airtel i would recomend every citizen of India not to become a part of airtel network.

                                Dear Sir/ Ma’am,

                                This mail is with the reference to my complaint for manipulation in billings and service charges. TRAI is the regulatory which show the way out of trouble all the time and I am hoping for the same again.

                                I am using Airtel network since more than two months and getting the worst network problem from this network operator. I have raised issue with operator but still there is no resolution (even not ready to confirm the timeline of resolution). As per my knowledge there is some TAT for every complaint raised by customer but they denied it.
                                We are living in the time of technology but when it comes to Airtel it seem like they are far away from technology. I can’t believe it takes so long to resolve network issue, it’s almost 3 months since I raised complaint but there is no call or Solution for problem. I am not asking to Airtel to give me 4G internet speed all the time but basic need of network.
                                I don’t know what kind of manipulation they have done with their towers, it shows full range but if someone calls me call doesn’t get connected and says my mobile is switched off. I am finding myself in the trap of this company, even they are charging me for missed call alert but not a single alert message is coming on my mobile. There is no network, No alert message, no internet. I am facing so much trouble in my daily job due to this issues.

                                This is directly or indirectly a fraud with customer and I really want to raise legal case against Airtel for doing fraud with common customers for doing this act. I hope at least I can get details to raise a case against Airtel along with process details from TRAI. Kindly help me in this and let me know the process of it.

                                Thanks & Regards,
                                Ghanshyam Kathole

                                  I raised complain multiple times to airtel customer care. We are still monitoring you complaint.
                                  Today i had very important business call. I had multiple time call failed. Even i didn’t speack to the person. Call failed more than 10 times. After all this i lost the business due to airtel bad network. I am using postpaid connection. Even i am paying more to the airtel. This is not worth it. If i am not getting the better network.
                                  I just to sue them.
                                  Where can i raise the complaint against the airtel?

                                      I have raised request for shifting my broadband cum landline connection to new address. Request no is[protected]. It was notified to me that it will be completed within 3 days and new address also checked for feasibility of this connection.
                                      After 3 days, suddenly without notifying they disconnected this connection. When i checked via customer care no - it says this landline no doesnt exist. Then i have checked in airtel customer centre - then i came to know that they deactivated this connection without notifying to me.
                                      I dont understand why they cancelled this connection?
                                      Airtel customer care sent mail to seniors - then i got call for re-activation. It was mentioned it will be activated and then raise a new shifting address request which can be done in the same day.
                                      Until now, this number is not activated.
                                      I had taken 6 months plan (Prepaid) from which 3 month left.
                                      Kindly resolve this issue at the earliest.

                                      Its not yet resolved.
                                      They reactivated and changed the landline number.
                                      But after one week, they generated it as new bill to pay 5428.
                                      I had paid for 6 months plan by Dec 2018. Then why Airtel generated new bill by Feb?
                                      When I asked customer care, they mentioned that payment for Dec bill not paid. But when I told them to check with old landline no, then they accepted that I had paid by Dec 31, 2018.
                                      They took this as complaint and given the request no as[protected].
                                      Kindly resolve this at the earliest.

                                        15-feb-2019 raised a request to shift airtel dish to new home.

                                        One lady called from customer service, she booked appointment.

                                        Service guy called at morning 10, he will be coming at 12 to shift the dish. But never showed till 3. We called him at 3, he spoke to us like he completely no idea what we called him for. He said he will come by before 5.
                                        We called him after 5, his mobile no went switched off.

                                        Till 21-feb-2019, never showed.

                                        That customer service no also switched off.

                                        We raised request means, it should be closed or we should get some update on our request status.

                                        Not happy at all. We know airtel has millions customers, but still a proper text message on request status would have been nice.

                                        Thanks
