At the outset i would like to have clarity on mobile recharge tariff. I was informed an amount of rs.35/- (28 days validity), recharge is mandatory to retain my mobile number and in spite of this i kept on getting messages to recharge before the expiration of validity. And when i recharged with rs.35/- on the given date the recharge failed & i am yet to get the refund. But my concern is that airtel insisted me to have balance even to call their customer care which sounded ridiculous because i had recharged with rs, 35/- on the same day.

I feel the consumer is always misdirected with regards mobile prepaid recharges.

      Since the new regulations of being able to choose your own channels the airtel dth service providers are being most unhelpful and doing delaying tactics. Probably they want us to choose from their regular packs and due to this since last week we have been unable to view any channels but even though i have recharged twice the balance on a daily basis is decreasing. My dth no is [protected] and registered phone no is [protected]

      As of yet the airtel has not activated all the channels selected by us but have been regularly showing deduction in my account balance. They need to refund the amount as they have not been providing any service.
      My broadband is not working properly kindly solve it as soon as possible

        Was paying rs. 172 for only 10 malayalam channels.7 english news and business channels. This is because i have netflix, so movies are from that.
        After the current pay only for channel for selected channels, cost is only rs. 97 but with an additional rs 130 claimed as base charge plus gst, total works out to rs. 254, an increase of rs. 82 or 47%.
        I can understand paying a minimum charge (Say rs. 100) to any service provider, if selected channels selected are less than the minimum charge.
        However, airtel has added rs. 130 over and above cost of channels selected. Airtel is thus violating the very intent of the new law which wants to reduce the burden on the consumer, while being fair to the service provider.
        Airtel is by this action, unfairly and deviously profiting, from this change. The rule must specifically state that if the cost of chosen channels is less than rs. 100, the minimum charge of 100 will be applicable.

        Most pathetic customer care services. Since last couple of month trying to lodge a complaint but every time service executive put me on mute, airtel app doesn't response to the needful etc.
        I think backdoor you guys are helping Reliance Jio to take over .
        When Tata sky and sun direct are reducing the NCF charges why can't Airtel. Please try to reduce the charges.

                    I have changed my airtel connection from prepaid to postpaid on 1st feb 2019. I have taken 799 plan in which i can add my family members. At the time of conversion it was nowhere mentioned that i cannot add airtel numbers which are not in my circle (Karnataka). So the postpaid plan is of no relevance for me as i cannot add my parents. After i visited store (Indiranagar) bangalore they told to write a mail to nodal officer karnataka. I reeceived the reply of mail which directed me to again go to airtel store near me and give pasport size photos, address proof etc.
                    But after reaching the store they directly told that they cannot convert the connection before one month as no bill is generated or i can downgrade the plan to 699.

                    This is a clear case of harassment from airtel as even if i am not getting the benefit of the 799 plan i have to pay one month of bill forcefully.

                    I am not able to call 59059 for televerification to activate my airtel number. It is very urgent please try to resolve it as soon as possible

                      As per trai policy we selected required channels and also payed amount advance. But they not changing the channels and plans what we selected as per trai policy.

                      They charging high and not ready to change the plans.
                      I tried to contact customer care 100 times. Most of the time they are not attending the call. When any one attended they are replying carelessly and no idea about anything.
                      Such poor response from a reputed company is very very sad to the customer.
                      To get a line in customer care they are waiting hours and hours. And some times taking days.

                      Very shame to airtel.

                        I have been trying to change my registered number almost 5 times now since past 2 years. I m unable to choose channels as per trai. Coz it keeps sending otps to my old number. I m planning to change my dth operator coz of your incompetence. Hav also visited your branch office in nalasopara. Howver issue is not yet resolved. They seem to have updated my new number.. However wn i check my account on tv it displays the same old number.. I have also registered numerous requests with customer service dept on phone.. They have not helped me either.. I had no idea that changing a phone number could be so difficult. Also changing it online is not possible.. It says can't update it now try later.. Have tried this almost 5 times at different times.. My user id is [protected]. Pls revert for further details i[censored] wish to keep me as your customer.. I have been with u for almost 5 years.. This reason to discontinue ur services is very unfortunate..

                            A cug connection of 16 nos was taken in airtel, trichy, tamilnadu for the relationship no. [protected].
                            Out of which one mobile no was activated with "international roaming daily limit pack benefit 649with ul incoming nrc", plan offered by airtel just for 4 days in august 2018. But the company though disconnected the service rightfully after 4 days, has activated for a few days in september and a week in october and nedarly 10 days in november and nearly 15 days in december and january on their own without any request from the customer. Though the company activation policy says that the activation can be done through
                            1) the airtel website,
                            2) myairtel app
                            3) customer contact centres, the customer has not at all given any request through any of these modes. The airtel has been periodically charging for several thousands on every month billing.

                            The outgoing facility is barred by airtel for all the 16 nos for the wrong billing they have made one user in the cug. Such an action of the airtel in withdholding the call dialing facility in all the 16 nos is unfair and unjust esp when the problem is on their side.

                            Though a dispute through email was raised on various occassions, none responded from airtel.
                            A complaint to "nodalofficer. [protected]@in. Airtel.com" and "[protected]@in. Airetel.com" and to the appellate authority @ "appellate. [protected]@in. Airtel.com". Leave alone the resolution of dispute raised to them, there was no system to send an automated acknowledgement of email complaint to those official email ids of airtel.
                            Even when a small time companies can afford to send a automated response of acknowledgement of complaiants, why a national carrier like airtel could not give such facility. It only shows complete lack of respect and sincerity to the grievances of the cutomers by airtel.
                            No officer of airtel, in tamil nadu is willing to talk and involve themselves to address the issue.

                              I team,

                              1) cheated 4-6 times for not accepting my port request & didn't replied me reasons for not porting (I have all port details & visited airtel store to change my bill plan, but without letting me know the reason airtel was the reason indirectly eated my 4 months bill)
                              — which caused me to pay bill almost 2000 rs/-
                              2) multiple times i have requested to port, but no reason why it was not done & no mail updates.
                              — which caused me to pay unwanted & forcefully amount 2000 rs/-
                              3) 20 day back i visited my nearest branch i have asked to put only lowest bill details.
                              — but with my permission airtel forcefully again sent me unwanted bill around 400 rs/-
                              4) and now airtel keep on calling me & unwanted & forcefully asking me to pay bill.
                              — this time i would like to left my number, because if want t continue i have to pay unwanted & forcefully bill changes (Which gambling repeated charges i have to pay!..)

                              I request some one please help me from this cheating.

                              Thanks regards,
