I am a dth user of airtel and i have submitted my selection of desired channel pack well in advance as per trai system. I have received a confirmation from airtel also. (Ref id 157544)

My airtel dth id - [protected]-001

Issue is from 1st feb all channels went vanished and today is the 5th day still unable to fix it. I tried contacting customer care for more than 60 times. But they knowingly not answering any calls.

Again i had 200 rupees in my account on feb2019. Day by day amount id deducting by airtel for not providing any channels. Kindly resolve this issue.

It seems airtel company doesnt made any preparetions for customers for the new trai rule can say neglegence.

    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.

    Hello, on 21 St January I have tried to recharge my mobile through Airtel app and processed the payment. But the money was deducted from my account but the recharge has failed (98 rs pack for 3 gb data validity 28 days).
    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,

                                Hi,

                                I have given the request on 20th jan from porting form vodaphone to airtel. There were no response & call for local referee verification. I had waited for 10 days and visited one near airtel store then got to know local referee verification is pending. After 4 times customer care call, verification was done. My porting was done on 02/04/19. Around 11:43 vodaphone displays no - network. I have inserted new sim, i can get the network but there is no activation for my airtel sim. Airtel has messaged me once the new sim has inserted you need to call 59059. Once i m trying to call there is auto gerenrated tone that your number is in progress for activation. Do i know why my vodaphone network has down when airtel can't provide network activation.

                                I am missing my valuable calls & messages.

                                Please take as a severe complain and take necessary action.

                                    My customer id is [protected]-001, airtel has suspended my account and tv is blacked out even ftas have been stopped. They are neither confirming activation of my new opted plan as per trai guidelines nor keeping ftas on after 6 days of the deadline i. E. 1 st feb 2019.

                                    Every time when i complaint they will start the services temporarily and stop it at their whims.

                                    They are in a way making fun of customers in wake of trai guidelines. They insist on more on recharge in current account which is definitely costlier than one which has been selected.

                                    I have already recharged my account with ₹ 200 on 15/1, 20/1 and 22/1. Aggregating to ₹600 against 959/ month plan. Every time they insist on recharge which will go against existing plan. Not activation of new plans deliberately is the policy to fetch more money from the customer.

                                    It us requested to deal with such service providers sternly to stop unnecessary harassment of customer.

                                    Regards,

                                        Airtel is deducting rs 23/- monthly from main balance for continuing outgoing facility since i have not done any monthly recharge. I want to know is there compulsion of monthly recharge for continuation of sim service. Since sim card has long validity why service providers are compellig for monthly recharge though i have enough main balance. Please guide me.
