    Hi,
    We are paying 99 rs. Per month on airtel secure for insurance of mobile handset since 2017, the phone was gifted by my childhood friend, recently my screen broke but these people are not giving me claim amount but earlier (2 years) back for the same case they gave me the amount. Now they are saying there terms and conditions are changed moreover airtel is playing ball game, they are putting on one asist and one asist is putting on airtel. They also said that you just email that it's gifted from a friend, we emailed them but now they are not giving us the claim. We will put a legal case on airtel and one asist
    Thanks

      Cust id # [protected]. Cust name balaji. I’ve been facing error code 6 issue for the past 5 days with my airtel digi tv. With channels not available till now and money balance been deducted daily, there’s absolutely no response from the service provider. Continues follow ups are been made with no resolution. There was an escalation number provided[protected] who are supposed to be the senior representatives of the network are not able to provide the solution even. This seems to be recurring for many customers and are forced to move out of airtel losing the money. This ridiculous and a completely unacceptable lethargic approach on airtel to its customers.

              Airtel — online recharge has been initiated but not successful and amount has been debited from my bank account

              I have made recharge amounting to rs. 399.00 on today i. E. On 12 april, 2019. The recharge could not be successful but the amount has been debited from my bank account.

              I have received following message at 10:37 pm. From airtel team:

              Your airtel mobile * online recharge txn id[protected] of rs 399.0 has been initiated. Please keep the txn id for future reference.

              (Mobile no. Intentionally hide)

                  Hello

                  My airtel dth plan till 4th april 2019 was annual max hd pack with validity upto 20th oct 2019. Superb plan!!

                  This is regarding cheating done by airtel dth customer care executives to me.
                  On 4th april, i called airtel dth customer service and asked mr mangesh whether i can add few channels without changing my existing package. Mr mangesh told me sure sir, you can add channels without disturbing your existing package and need to pay additional inr 12 per month for the channels you wish to add. I confirmed this assurance from him thrice during the call.

                  Then the executive added the new channels i wish to add.

                  But surprisingly i found all the previous package channels are deactivated and only the newly added channels can be seen.

                  So immediately i called back to airtel customer care. Ms hemaliji khatri (Senior executive) talked with me. She admitted the mistake done by mr mangesh and she offered me that they can add inr 350 to my dth account due to the inconvenience caused by wrong information provided by mr mangesh.
                  I replied her, please do not offer me money, rather reactivate my old package.
                  She told me that she is forwarding this case to expert team for resolution of this complaint and within 48 working hours i will get the resolution.

                  Till date i wasted calling airtel customer care for hours together, but i didn't received any satisfactory resolution.
                  Every call use to be starting with abcd.. And ends with we will get back to you within 24 hours with the resolution.
                  But everything is in vain.

                  The only output from all these conversations is my mental harassment caused by airtel dth customer care executives.
                  They are admitting their mistake in every call, but don't know what is restricting them to give me proper resolution.
                  The resolution offered by them is like - "they have stolen my mercedes car, and instead returning me maruti 800 car"

                  In every call i asked for the essential information about head/ in charge of their department against whom i can file a case in consumer court regarding this matter, but none of them provided me the information.

                  Copy of this email is also forwarded to some important departments for the reference which i may need in future.

                  In addition i am also forwarding this at directorate of public grievance, govt of india

                  Regards

                      Its been very sad to say that after been a loyal costumer for more then 15 year now airtel services has became so bad,
                      I have visited to airtel store on 10-04-19 and inform them that i have 3 no of airtel with one parent and 2 child connections after checking records they told me that it can be done but only when i wife visits to store as no was in her name, i was fine with it as its genuine request.
                      Now again on 12-04-19 i visited with my wife to store token no is b016 and mr vijay was there to handle us, i explaining them what i want now they informed me that they cant change all the numbers at one go it have to be done one by one, why airtel thinks we don't have anything to do and we have whole time in world to just keep running for this small things,
                      After hearing that i called 12118 costumer care to find solution, now they say that i first have to split all the no then only it can be done, if this was the solution then why the store representative informed me on 10 i could have done that on that day and on 12 all my no would have been converted to prepaid.
                      I requested both the places that my wife is moving out of town and cant come every time for this small work as store is far from my house, they did not listen to any thing and keep repeating like a robo.
                      I don't understand how these companies make us run for all these small things, its was such small request to finish all the work in one day in place of making me and my wife run for 3 -4 times.

                        Hello airtel, i am mobile postpaid user and i was charged rs 100 (April 2019) for delay in paying the fee. I was not intimated about the fee, the messages only said that please pay so that your services may uninterrupted or disconnected. This is completely not acceptable to charge an amount of rs 100 for a regular customer. I insist that you waive off this amount from my current bill. Your network is however slow and people are already tired of calls drops, no coverage and now with this kind of charges you are forcing your customers to choose am alternative. I request you to check into this matter as soon as possible.

                          I have advance rental pack validity of around 2 and half months in my account before activating the safe custody. But after 2 months when i have deactivated the same the validity of advance rental pack also lapsed. Then why the hell they should charge for the safe custody activation?

                          And we i check back with them for the same, they simply say that is what the safe custody terms.

                          Though the safe custody is activated, if the main pack will get lapse means why should they give option to the customer. They are literally looting the customer without their services.

                            Yesterday[protected], had conversation with with one of the Customer Care Executive (Sandeep Jogale). He asked me to do a FRC of 76INR from a retailer, tried it, but no success. The recharge is processing and the cancelled.
                            So i went to Airtel Express Store (Mansa Chowk, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan). The concern person said that this shop is only for Postpaid Customer.
                            So again i tried and reach another CC Executive (Neha) explained everything then she transferred my call to her senior (Krishna) then he gaved me proper cause for the problem. Which was, i opt for MNP in Mumbai Circle and trying to do Tele Verification in Rajasthan Circle and this is the reason the was not getting activated. So i've to be in the same circle.
                            But still it has not solved my problem yet. As i need my only working number to be activated as soon as possible. I'am stuck at new place with mobile to call my Friends n Family.

                            So i decided to buy a new Sim today[protected]. The concern person here (Vikas) at Airtel Payments Bank who sell new Sim (Ganpati Mall, Bhiwadi, RJ) said, to give him an alternate number but not of any family member because it will get rejected, but of someone who lives in Bhiwadi. So as i'am new i know no one but still i gave him a number of man here to whom i meet daily here and knows me well. and its late evening and the sim has still not activated yet.

                            New Complaint:
                            1. The Concern at Airtel Express Store (Mansa Chowk, Bhiwadi, RJ) who denied his duty for only serving Postpay Users.
                            2. Two Recharges attempted by me on Airtel Website which got declined and the amount got deducted and no refund has been initiated yet. (Attached images show the latest screenshot of my bank's statement where you easily find deducted amount to airtel. Kindly notice the screenshot time in lower-right bottom as well as the date the recharge was made

                                      I went to upgrade my sim to 4g as per the message i received to kanjurmarg airtel centre. The 2 staff sitting attended me and gave me new simcard for 25 rs with instructions that within 10 min it will start. I received sms from 121 for sinchan he.
                                      After 1 hrs my services were stopped and when i put the new sim - no activation. I called customer service multiple times but they stated they never got such request and even the centre staff kept denying they ever met me or put such request. I communicated this matter to the air tel customer service who just kept giving me assurance without actual result.
                                      I am being doctor feel offended as consumer.

                                        Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

                                        Airtel is such type of worse network i have ever used in my life. There is no customer service. There is no network coverage, no solution for the customers complain regarding the dongle datacard issue.
                                        Even after repeated follow ups and escalations to senior management team no body listens to the complain.

                                        Higly not recommended to others.
                                        Completely third class service and network. I am completely frustrated and irritated out of this airtel. Shame on u @airtel india.

                                        Hope this could reach to the ceo india level.

                                        Even after putting consumer complaints there is no update and no action has been taken care. Idiotic service provider.
