    My name is prof s. L. Hiremath, a retired dean, and registrar of central university of gujarat. I was repeatedly contacted by airtel sales people, unsolicited, requesting me to port in to airtel with my cell no. [protected]. Promising to send their technical/sales representative to my residence for filling up the form and collection of photo and documents. It is disappointing to hear from airtel the same song that i have been hearing from their people one after the other every time i seek help in getting the service activation. There must be something seriously wrong with them in understanding my issue. It is a very cheap sales strategy to contact and pester the customers to port in, repeatedly contacting them over phone unsolicited, send the representatives to the residence promising services that they can not provide, compel them to send port requests, make them pay outstanding bill of current service provider, take the upc, take the documents and photographs, give a sim card promising that they will get a activation sms in 6 to even days and abscond, never be available for contact then keep sending mails to the customers to visit your relationship centre with documents for activation of services despite having taken all documents. This is a cheap sabotage sales practice airtel is practicing. I have written eleven replies to their mails after falling pray to their sales people twice and porting twice on the promise that services will be activated in a week’s time starting from 4th march. Every time a different sales person contacts me for the fear of me slapping the earlier for having cheated me.
    It is disgusting for me as a senior citizen and a senior retired government servant to go begging to their so called relationship centre with documents for activation after having been pestered and promised service at doorsteps.
    If they have targets of sales to achive it should not be at the cost and inconvenience to the customers.

          I had done an online prepaid recharge of rs199 on march 11/19. The amount got debited from my bank account but the recharge failed.

          I even raised a dispute after one week and received a message that the amount will be refunded in 2-3 weeks. But i still haven't received any refund.

          I have also sent a feedback today. I thought the amount will be credited within a week but now i'm doubtful since it's almost 20 days since i recharged.

          Kindly look into the matter and help settle the dispute as soon as possible.

          Thank you in advance.

            My mail ID: [protected]@gmail.com. Please inform me about the action taken.
            The way to go ahead is to first inform your bank about this fraudulent activity straight away and see if they can put a stop to these transactions.
            The second thing you need to do is call the police cyber crime department and lodge an FIR.
            I highly doubt that without a police complaint a bank or any financial institution will provide you with any information, until and unless you are a customer of that institution. And even so, a police complaint would be highly beneficial if you have any sought of financial insurance to claim for any losses.
            Please never ever share your cards details and more important your OTP with anyone. They are just for your use only. Even your own bank will never call you up and ask you for your OTP.

            Please note that in no way possible I am providing any legal advice. All I have said or written are my personal views.

                    I have been using the airtel v-fiber net for the last 3 months now. But every alternate weekend i experience downtime for at least 2 days and have to contact the technical team to fix it. Which means, 4 days a month, im not getting any service from this provider. Whenever i request to stop this service im not getting a proper response and all they say is "i understand" but i dont really think they are understanding anything.

                            My Connection ID IS [protected]. I have the digital CAM Card in my smart TV. My Digital CAM is not working since yesterday and i am trying calling customer care number and it's almost 15-20 calls i have already done but no one is picking up the call and the same is disconnected every time.Seriously the Airtel facility have become worst now a days. It's not only this time, i have same issue last week also and after several calls i am able to reach there customer care executive.

                            I don't know when i am able to connect with them and Airtel have seriously spoiled my Sunday.

                                My Airtel Digital TV Customer ID is [protected]. I sent for activation the selected channel packs worth monthly subscription of ₹565.22 ( screenshot attached ) and accordingly recharged my account on 25Feb, 2019 with ₹570/= in round figure (scanned receipt attached) which by any commonsense should have been valid till 24 March, 2019. But surprisingly enough, my connection was suspended on 15 March, 2019 itself, i.e., 9 days still remaining before the expiry of the validity of my recharge. An SMS was sent to me saying that my monthly subscription was for ₹814/= and this figure appears on my Airtel Apps also. But how come ?

                                I would certainly want to know from Airtel authorities why has it happened, and also clarify the value of the my pack I subscribed and recharged for ? The Airtel Digital TV Customer Service Platform presently is just inadequate to address issues like this and many more such problems that customer may come across.

                                I look forward to your immediate response in this regard and hope the issue would get resolved soon.

                                  I'm not able to use my phone from last 8-9 days because facing internet data and Network issue problem. I have complained about it to customer care 5 times and visit their service center 2 times for the same problem. But my problem not get resolved even in this 9th day. Everytime they are telling different different issue with my problem. The worst part of this is the service provider is not resolving problem and sending me message that my problem get resolved. I have attached the screenshot of messages sent by the service provider. After contacting so many time with service provider I'm complaining here. Please get rectify my problem as soon as possible.
