Dear sir/madam,

This complaint is for not activating the requested al carta plan for the customer id [protected],

On 31-jan-2019, i had prescribed an al carta pack from the airtel self care website, as per the guidance provided by the airtel customer care, with the reference id 240478, and this plan is about to activate on 1-feb-2019, as per the airtel and trai regulations,

However on 1-feb-2019 the requested new plan was not activated, and for the same same reason i had communicated to airtel customer care and they told me to wait for 24 hours,

On 2-feb-2019, as my requested new plan still not got activated i had once again called to airtel customer care and they told me to submit the plan change request through tv hence i had submitted once again the individually selected al catra plan through tv mode,

On 3-feb-2019, i was wondering because yet my new requested plan was not activated, and again i had called to the airtel dth customer care no, and again they had assured me that within 24 hours my plan is going to activate, on the same day i requested airtel team to at least register my complaint and provide me the complaint no for which they had replied saying that they do not have complaint registering system,

As of 4-feb-2019, my requested plan has not been activated yet, and hence i had registered my complaint with consumer forum with the reference id 1137297,

May i request you to provide the reason for not activating newly requested plan, with the timelines provided by the telecom regulatory authority of india (Trai) and when i will be getting the resolution for my complaint,

Many thanks in advance,

Regards,

A LA CARTE choice delibrately disabled by Airtel thus forcing customer to choose airtel prescribed Boquet only. So what is the use of new TRAI rules if one cannot choose channels ????????. Request TRAI to take Immediate action !.
Dear Airtel Nodal Team,

Yesterday evening I had call from airtel customer representative regarding the complaint I had risen for not activating the al carte pack which I had selected on the airtel dth website with 485 rs monthly rental charges including GST on 31-jan-2019, with the reference code 240478. However, till yesterday airtel had not activated the above mentioned plan,

Now today morning when I was looking my Airtel dth account I got scared by knowing that the new plan was activated and it was showing me Rs. 2261.73 /monthly,

It shows transaction of 278 rs recharge with 06-feb-2019 date and which is about to expire on 08-Feb-2019 and 203 rs balance in my account as if today,

Whenever I call to the customer care for asking the below mentioned information I am not getting satisfied information from your team,

1.The details of my remaining balance for the period of 01-feb-2019 to 11-mar-2019,

They are just telling me that we are unable to tell that information due to technical issue,

2. As I am getting the huge difference in my selected plan and the activated plan I had asked them to provide me the list of channels that I had selected on 31-jan-2019 in the al carte pack,

They are telling that we don’t have the information due to technical issue,

3. As I had updated my al carte pack on 31-jan-2019, my pack was about to start from 01-feb-2019, however it was not activated due to airtel technical issue so why I should pay for the period from 01-feb-2019 to till date,

They are telling that as you have watched the TV in the above mentioned period we will be deducting the prorate amount from your balance for the period,

Today also initially your team was not registering my complaint for the above mentioned issue, however after repeatedly forcing them they have given me the complaint reference number as 85738704,

As your team is facing all the time technical issues may I request you to provide the above information at the earliest to resolve this issue,

Waiting your response,

    Made transactions on my airtel app to avail the running offer of sending rs.2000 through upi and get rs.150 cashback (For new users)
    I made transactions but didn't receive cashback. Now after calling customer care executive, they are unable to track my transactions even after telling them transaction ids. Now i've mailed everything they asked for like screenshots of transactions and they say they will respond in 2 working days but it has been 5 days and still there is no response.
    Yesterday when i contacted to customer care he said sir within 24hours it will be resolved.
    U must say airtel has the worst service i have ever seen in my life. They say but they don't value their customers. My case id.2993492 which is still unresolved after 5 working days.

      I am using airtel prepaid and i face a lot of issues with the connectivity. The calls doesn't have proper voice clarity and lot of issues occur. Also, the data will not be available most of the times. Even if the data is available, the bandwidth is very low. Even if i complaint this to the nearest store (Airtel store near vydehi busstop itpl bus stand), they say that the network is working as expected and they are not bothered about the complaint.

              I had selected a set of channels with cost per month totalling upto rs 325 per month.

              My plan has not been updated and i am being wrongly billed on a rs 710 plan which i dont need.

              If correction is not done with immediate effect along with money credit back in airtel dth account starting february 1 for all the higher deductions done, i will switch to tata sky.

                Airtel dth has been charging high rate for individual channel other than free channels. Earlier i was getting many channels of my choice at 283/month but now it is more than 450. Moreover not all the channels of a particular company is provided. Each channels of the company are being charged separately which ultimately become a unaffordable monthly charges. If this system is not changed immediately please bring back the old terrif.

                Request you to try select few channel of your choice and see the total charges

                    Regretfully, i am a customer of airtel services (Mobile / broad band / tv services) for the past 4 years plus.

                    I have no hesitation to say, that very rightly, reliance is making you guys go 'bonkers' with their splendid service.

                    My registered mobile number for all the services that i am using is : [protected].

                    For the past one month plus, your operators have been misguiding me the procedure to choose ala - karte channels. After a great deal of struggle, i could accomplish the herculean task on 02 feb, and sent the qr scan generated to number: 54325 as an attachment.

                    God only knows the fate of my exercise, and i do not know, if the needful action has been done. To confirm, i have exhausted all the channels of communication to contact your customer support but failed.

                    If this is going to be the response attitude of bharathi airtel, i can only sympathise with mr. Sunil bharti mittal for having such an efficient team.

                    May be this is a trend for the down fall of such an 'once upon a time, responsive service'

                            Hi,

                            I am an airtel dth customer, i choose the channels for the feb 1 2019 revision. This was registered and an id was given to me. Subsequentty from 1st feb 2019 the dth services stopped there was balance in the account.
                            Submitted a complaint a service technician came and he entered the channels in the tv and this was registered. No change the channels was not showing only 004 error channels not choosen.

                            Now unable to use the dth connection in spite of balance.

                            The airtel site does no allow to manage the channels or recharge or do anything regarding the dth account after feb 1 2019.

                            How to resolve this? Airtel is unresponsive.

                            Thanks

                            Bala t. A

                            A LA CARTE not working in Airtel
                            This person is correct, Airtel has disabled A LA Carte, if you press the button it gives error and consumer is forced to choose rs 510/- plan. Also 25 Fta channels are compulsory thus limiting the consumers choice to choose compleately. Airtel is delibrately making a compleate mockery of TRAI new rules. TRAI should force Airtel to give A LA Carte channels Immediately. Airtel is delibrately fooling customers
                            Actually airtel dont want that costomer pay only for channel they choose. Airtel is forcing us to pay more money. And airtel purposly not allowing to choose a la carte pack. Because as their revinue will drastically reduce.
                            Trai should act against airtel dth.

                              I'm not able to use upi because i can't sms even after₹27 balance and active account. I have restarted my mobile many times to resolve the issue. Also tried to contact via calls on 121 as well as my airtel app but not reached to any customer care executive. Plz resolve this issue or gjve me a right solution to this or otherwise i have to switch to other company..
                              & i'm also not able to send porting message. Airtel is cheating the customers.

                                  I opted for some channels and send the request according to the direction of service provider. But they did not upgrade the same. Today i called them and they took 4 hours to solve it but did not do the same. Further the suggested me to change the channel list and i did the same and they took 10 min to 15 min to start it but did not do the same. I called them but they did not pick up the phone after 12 min it stopped to sound. Need your help. I cannot see channels except bengali channels.

                                      We have updated airtel connection athrough alacarte 0n jan month end against new trai rules. Air tel discontinued services from ist feb in spite of having balance and told that upgradation will take place 24- 72 hours. They keep on changing their statement and after three days they started sd services on today 3rd feb after insist g that why our se ices were closed for three days while those who did not updated their pa ks their services were normal. Still they are telling updation of package may be do e by 7th feb. They are fooling customers by giving lame e cuses and lied with us by terminating services for three day.
