Hi,

I am not sure, whether this is going to reach the correct, but still, i have taken a new connections and got the customer id [protected].

I am not able to add this customer id to recharge, also it is not visible in tv as you have mentioned in website.

I have raised to nodal officer for last 3 days, but no response, no courtesy on responding.

    So, i've converted my airtel number from postpaid to prepaid one week ago. The postpaid services got cut off 4 days ago. And i haven't been able to recharge my phone since then. I;m facing issues like:

    1. Failed recharge
    2. Airtel app error: something went wrong while processing request.

    I'm able to recharge for other numbers of my family members using the same app but it wouldn't let me recharge mine. Please, fix this issue asap i am in dire need of balance in my phone.

      I had complained to airtel regarding continuous network issue at b. P. Road, kharigaon, bhayander east.
      They are aware that issues are there but they are not willing to invest in improvement and let go customers if they want.
      So please take this matter seriously otherwise i have method to port my number to any other good network company in our area.

          Dear sir

          I have airtel digital tv dth connection vide number [protected] with registered mobile number as [protected]. Today on 22nd february 2019 airtel has suddenly scrapped some channels and upon my call to the customer care i was told that my package has been changed as i have not yet chosen the package as per trai order despite have 345/- balance in my present package. This is arbitrary in nature and amounts to committing fraud on public as well as cheating and breach of trust. They must refund my entire package of 541/- that i recharged recently. Public must be cautioned not to subscribe to this dubious and treacherous dth service provider
          With regards
          Vijay srirang

            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.

                                        Hello Sir,
