        My actual plan cost is 340 and with the ncf charges have been as rs.222 that means around 60% of the amount is ncf. This is horrible and now total monthly charges became rs.577/- which is not even affordable. Even government are trying to impose ncf charges to customers. And i am sure airtel is playing a smart game here. They are not picking my call and also diverted to the other. Why watching tv is more expensive. I want justification otherwise not goona watch dth & its good to go for hotstar, prime, netflix.

          Customer care representative doesn't support and not give a accurate solutions.
          I have already balance approx Rs.12000/-
          And I have three set top box in a home.
          Airtel has no proper solution for my problems (to create your own pack) for three box.
          Airtel compulsory give us Airtel Packs to choose channels pack.

              Address: Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, 201301

              Complaint reference number[protected] with Airtel Appellate Authority.

              I requested for information of Airtel Rs 399 plan broadband cum fixed line connection vide my email of 28.01.19 to
              [protected]@in.airtel.com.

              Subsequently I received a call on 29.1.19 from No.[protected] at 14.05 hrs from Airtel executive who explained me
              Rs 399 plan as under :

              A. 1st ONE month FREE Trial period
              with option to SURRENDER if not
              satisfied
              B. Pay 5 months rental in advance and
              available 6 months uses
              C. Unlimited FREE local and STD calls
              D. Monthly 100GB data monthly
              at speed of 8Mbps

              Subsequently on my acceptance of the above offer Airtel techician Mr Ravi Singh visited my home on 30.01.19 at 12.39 hrs and installed New Connection Id [protected].

              On 10.01.19 I received your bill
              No.[protected]
              Dated 09.01.19
              for Rs. 2997.20
              Period : From 08.01.19 to 07.02.19

              MY OBJECTIONS :

              A. When New Connection was installed &
              activated on 30.01.19, then How
              BILLING has been done from
              08.01.19?

              B. I was offered 1st One Month FREE Trial
              period with option to SURRENDER if
              not satisfied. THEN BILLING should
              have started from 1st March'19.

              Despite my appeal to Airtel Appellate Authority on 16.02.19, neither have I received correct clarification nor my grievances resolved.

                  Airtel DTH service is looting the consumers. I have two connections on one id.every month I pay for both connections for same channels.On one connection all channels are displayed and on other always got disconnected because we use that connection very few.whenever we don’t use that connection ., Airtel disconnects channel’s access. Whenever we call customer care centre they tell us to pay extra charges for technician. Airtel customer care and company is harassing the consumer and collecting charges for services whatever they are not providing to the consumers.

                    Address: New Delhi, Delhi

                    Sir, i am ankur parasar from up west circle.
                    I'm using airtel dth services for a long time, and continuously facing issues again and again. Since it's very expensive to change service provider, that's why i am confined to use the same operator.

                    According to trai orders, i have chosen my package nearly four times through airtel websites and through sms medium after contacting their consumer care representatives. According to trai's new rules my package amount was nearly rupees 300 per month. I have complained about deduction of my account balance (Nearly 140 rupees) that has been deducted in just one day after the last recharge on 1st feb, 2019 without any information about the deductions. I have had nearly three long phone calls with their representatives regarding this issue and they give me the assurity for refund of this deducted amount within 24 hours.

                    Now today is 19th february, 2019 and my account shows suspended and it shows my monthly rental nearly rupees 2346 per month and my account balance nearly negative 77.
                    When i try to call them on their customer helpine number they are not connecting to their consumer representatives
                    Sir you can assume how these private companies cheating us. They should be got punished for what they are doing with us.

                    First question is that why they haven't activated our new package according to trai's order when we have chosen it four times with various means before 31st january, 2019.
                    And why we are like their slave, we have to pay for their illegal deeds.

                    I hope you will help me and take mandatory action against such cheat company.

                      Internet speed is very bad since last 3-4 days. Very unstable. Unable to do any work properlyfalse promises of very fast 4g internet & stable network. Fix it asap. Or even use for entertainment purpose. There's nothing wrong with my mobile. Others who use airtel in my area face the same problem, my father and aunt for example. Network is not good normally too but still tolerable. Now it's just trash. I get better services from vodafone on my mother's number.

                            I have selected my new plan based on the new TRAI guidelines.

                            However, i see two different amounts when i check under the connection tab: Rs 365.03 and Rs 416.03 (Please refer the attached screenshots).

                            Please let me know why there are two different amounts showing up, and the DBR seems to be as per 416.03 whereas 365.03 is the correct tariff.

                            I have tried multiple times to reach the customer care, but it is not getting connected since all the executive are always busy. Even tried emailing TN nodal office (dthnodal.[protected]@airtel.com) but no response, not even an acknowledgement.

                              Sir
                              I am a retired physically handicapped senior citizen living in dewas (M. P.). I cannot walk without support. I live with my senior citizen wife who is paralysed on left side. (We have only three daughters who are all married.)

                              I am a writer and research astrologer. I work on my desktop pc. Hence every day i require flawless internet for my research work and emails – as well as for making various payments online.

                              For internet purpose i use an airtel sim in a netsetter. I recharge with 84 days pack. Sometimes it functions flawlessly but every now and then it refuses to connect. Then all my research work comes to a standstill for no fault of mine.

                              Twice i have complained to airtel. Their response is strangely funny. They say, “the fault lies with your location.” if this argument were true, then my internet should never have worked in the first place, but often it works flawlessly.

                              Besides i have a smartphone also with another airtel sim. It works wonderfully well.

                              Please redress my complaint and oblige.

                                I am amit dubey with having airtel dth connection [protected]-001 & 002.

                                I was having infinity pack with airtel for my both connections as above.

                                In line with trai guidelines i have created two different packages in 31st jan 19 afternoon around 12 pm with request numbers 245943 for 001 and 239978 for 002.

                                However to my surprise and shock from 07 feb suddenly and abruptly all my channel got stopped and the new requested packs also did not get active.

                                Instead some default incorrect pack got activated with monthly rent rs. 3526.48/- which is wired.

                                After this i have constantly calling customer care and requesting same again and again but my issue is not getting resolved at all, instead my account is running into negative constantly.

                                I have called up several times and some of the interaction ids are [protected], [protected] and [protected] and complaint number 85914633. There is never any answer from escalation to their nodal number and after long long hold recorded voice tells you to call back at any time of the day.

                                Every-time i call i am assured a call back but no one had called me till date and my negative balance is growing.

                                I am actually tired and convince of the fact that airtel is not bothered about customers and there is no customer care existing.
                                Kindly ensure my both accounts are operational and working which are in suspended condition. My both packages must be applicable from 01 feb which i have finalised on 31st jan 2019. All my excessive amount deducted must be credited back to my account with immediate effect. My account must have surplus balance rather than negative.

                                If this is done by eod today, fine, else kindly disconnect my account and just refund my all due and balance as on 01 feb 19.

                                In any of your decision i would appreciate an acknowledgement of this mail and thereafter proper reply within 24 hours.

                                      I have been an airtel user for 9 years and yet the company disregarding this fact filed an incorrect outstanding bill of rs. 60, 000 claiming it to be international roaming charge. This is highly unacceptable to charge a sum so huge to customers who haven't even used the network during that time frame. I was in a wi-fi zone, there is no chance o[censored]sing airtel 3g even for a min.

                                      I have spoken to the customer care multiple times and the only explanation they have been able to provide is that the charges are valid, without any justification.

                                      I am not willing to pay my outstanding until the bills are revised. Also, i need a representative to visit and explain how they have been able to falsely generate a bill amount so huge. This is a harassment to customers who stay loyal to a network.

                                        Jan 3rd i had lost my mobile so my sim also was lost when i called the customer care and told them to just block that number. After 1 week i took the same number from the airtel office, pandeshwar, mangalore it was prepaid before, so i asked them to make it prepaid itself but he told it is added in the family plan and now these people r telling me to pay again telling its post paid and asking to pay when it is prepaid. How can they do it that way without me telling it. So im gonna switch my phone from airtel to vodafone. One more thing that sim is switched off still. Its really terrifying.
