I have selected the channels as per trai, but it didnt get implemented on 1st feb, when i contacted customer care, the customer care says trai hasnt implemented it yet. It seems the airtel dth are fooling customer. Trai should seriously look at the schemes they have implemented as the dth companies continue to fool customers. Really bad experience with airtel dth

    In dec 2018 i called airtel digital for the pack they replied last date is 31st we will inform after 27th jan. On 27th i select my pack and sms generated code to their 54325 number. I got confirmation sms that thank you for selecting pack but after that on 31st i receive sms about to select the pack again i called up them they said again you have to do. Same thing i done on 31st jan and 2nd feb but still my pack is not updated and i am not getting any type of help from tairtel side only they are sending the sms saying select your pack otherwise they will automatic change to closest value pack. On 2nd feb i talk with their senior but still not got any solution.

      Hi sir,

      Actually i recharged online (To my airtel sim) on 03/02/19 for rs 199 at 9.25 pm but it didn't reflect in my balance so again i recharged online at 9.31 pm for rs 199 but my bank balance got deducted twice (199+199) of rs 398 so i'm paniced whether i'll get refund from airtel of rs 199 because of twice recharged or will the pack get transferred to the next month or will my current gb is going be 3gb per day because 199 recharge service is 1.5gb per day soo will it get doubled? And after a lot of sruggle i got this platform plzzzz slove this i need the confirmation so that the extra 199rs recharge how's it calculated!

      Thank you

        I have recharged dth registered with mobile number [protected] today with rs. 210 at 3:30 pm.
        1. I have requested for new pack at date 02/03/2019 at 5:00 pm.
        3. My balance is deducted rs. 15 for today already but after four hours still pack is not updated.

        I scanned the generated qrcode and sent it to "54325" : "it says keyword not defined".
        After that i sent it to [protected], but pack still not updated after four hours as it said by customer care executive.

          Sir i have recharged my airtel mob [protected] on 01 feb 2019 with an amount of rs. 46/- and it was deducted against hellotunes charges. On receipt of sms i responded quickly and stoped this service immediately. I didnt use this facility but amount deducted not refunded after complaints through my email. This company deducting crores of rupees from customers illegally. So i request to carry out a facts find by the govt agencies regarding unnecessary harassing the customers and looting their money. With regards.

              Airtel has not given any details and even the accounting details are not available.
              I feel really disappointed with the service. My charges have increase and the channel numbers in my package have reduced. I failed to understand the trai rules which says the charges would reduce but in my cas it is other way round
              Number of channels which i used to see have been reduced and the tariff has increased for less number of channels???

              I applied on 30 Jan for their reconnended pack but on 31 Jan I updated it by another pack of Airtel DTH ...I.e. Value sports charges Rs 360 channels but they did not amend and applied Rs 496/- plan
              Secondly my deposit details are mis leading and not getting correct details. I failed to understand as to how, why and where my money has been adjusted.
              As on 31 Jan my earlier one year package was valid till March 20 and balance money Rs 72/- and I paid another Rs 1000/- on Feb 2 but now I received SMS that my money is valid till April...How, no details...horrible ???

                    I have port my airtel sim ([protected]) from mumbai to maharastra on date 21jan 2019, now old sim is dectivated and i have inserted new sim and validation is also done for new sim, but sim is not started after 5 hrs and during varification cumtomer care told me it will activiated within 30 min and after 5 hr i have called customer care but they told me your sim will activate after 24 hr we cannot resolve your issue from here and we can not do anything for now, i am totally helpless because of your bad service. There is no help from customer and store also closed because of sunday.
                    I dont understand why airtel deactivate my sim on sunday if they can not support on sunday, it is very unathic behaviour from airtel side.

                        Network is so unstable. When I am talking in call, or watching a video or playing an online game, it suddenly stops or disconnects because of your ### network. And it is not just my sim or phone, ny dadand aunt use Airtel too, same thing happens with them. Network is bad in our area, please fix it. I have complained before but no action has been taken. Airtel promises stable 4g network everywhere but in reality condition is so poor. Not only in our area, I have seen dissatisfied Airtel customers from all over India. This is misleading and possibly illegal. Shame coming from such a renowned company.

                            After i designed my own dth pack with trai's web site and when i tried to make the same pack with airtel web site, it was found that the bouquet of sony happy india sports+english hd 50 was missing from their selection list. Instead, they have provided sd version. The same pack is available in trai website, sony site as well as other dth provider. By listing sony happy india english hd and sony happy india sports hd separately, they force us to pay rs.20+ more. Sony happy india soprts + english hd is the better value pack.

                              Hi-Yesterday I got my airtel digital TV (HD) recharged with 700. But channels are not coming I am getting an error code 6 with message your account is suspended due to low balance, everytime it is telling me to recharge. I have already contacted customer care for 4 times since yesterday, everytime I have to wait more than 15 mins to get connected and they are always assuring me that they have refreshed and it will come in 30 min. Already it’s more than 24 hours and the issue is still not resolved. I am irritated and frustrated with such a poor service as a took connection. I suggest airtel guys to do something about there digital tv and services because I as a customer can’t take this kind of service when you are taking money from me in return. Avinandan Ghosh

                                Dear sir
                                I am facing big issue of network from last 7 years in my home. I stopped using airtel between that but recently my company number [protected] was ported in airtel l thought problem will be solved but it never happens.
                                I complained in airtel and after that their technical person came in my home he says that we are getting 2g speed in my home. He also agreed with our problem and told all about to airtel. But still i have never found any resolution from their team.
                                Monday to friday i don't have problem because in that time i work in my office and there is no network issue but on saturday and sunday it is very difficult me to download any image video or browse any link when i am at my home.
                                I request you to tell airtel about this and give proper solution and also i am demanding of compensation because they are not maharashtras fastest network as they says when we start conversation with them.

                                Regards

                                      Pathetic response from airtel dth in implementation of new plans submitted to them well in advanced.

                                      Even to the regular and old customer of almost 10 years or so. No wonder if they loose their market share if continued in this fashion for long.

                                      They are insisting their plans over customers selected plans and not confirming selected plans even after deadlines is passed. They insist on recharges without letting customer know his selected plan and monthly outgo.

                                      This is openly non compliance of trai's guidelines and rude behaviour towards customer complaints.

                                      I urge trai to intervene and take stern action against airtel dth service provider at the earliest.

                                      Regards,

                                      The complaint is not resolved so far...How it can be marked as resolved. None has asked or given any solution to the complaint.
                                      It is surprising to note that complaint are marked as "Resolved" without taking any action. Pathetic state of affairs...
                                      Disgusting.

                                      The complaint is still unattended and services are not restored as per TRAI's guidelines..Very pathetic state of affairs by the service provider..

                                      Need to take up strongly with them

                                        Hello,
                                        I have already selected my package before 31 jan, 2019 and still my pack is not activated, even my channels are also not available not a single channel is working. They disconnected my services since 2nd feb 2019 around 10 am.
                                        At first they said i have not enough balance and once you have balance then within 2 hours your package will switch but it was not activated and since then i called 6-7 times but they only give me time.
                                        When i request them for disconnection of my service they told me that they will not give me refund all my amount will be dissolved.
                                        I don't understand what should i do in this case.
                                        My registered a complain here is my complain number 85646465.
                                        Looking for solution.
