A tariff of 3600 for using internet on roaming has been levied along with one time set up fee for each day (12 days @649) which is an additional 7788.
I have activated a monthly roaming pack for 3999.

Could the airtel customer care have informed me to subscribe to a monthly pack earlier instead of levying daily packs..

Now of the daily packs are anyways getting levied, why is there regular tariff charged?

Bill no: 30037029
Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
Follow up:
They mention that I should be paying about INR 37 lakhs if they haven't activated 1-day packs automatically. Two questions in this context:
If my credit limit is INR 28000, Doesn't Airtel have a way to warn me of exceeding the same?
If they could apply a day pack when I exceed my limit, couldn't they apply a 10-day pack or 30- day pack instead?

A point to note here is that international roaming tariff is INR 716/MB and if you activate a pack, it is INR 3/MB.

Not sure how many fools they make out of customer.

        I am a customer of airtel digital tv bearing customer id no. [protected]. When i watching channel no. 116 suddenly it stops with showing error code 4, this channel is not in you current package after that i call to customer care and i describe all the things and my plan also. But the lady request me to wait fifteen minutes. Than i asked for my package, she reply that my package was changed yesterday to maga pack through back end.. I asked why the pack is changed without my permission. She told me that our senior was not available and called to you within two hours and solve the problem. After three hours no call come to me nor the solution provided. Why the customer suffer after paying the package charge. Who gives authority airtel tv to harresh the customer after paying the due. The airtel tv levy penalty for one day delay recharge.in the previous month two days my tv was stopped due to airtel tv's technical problem. The customer care assure me that two days grace period will be given to me for the problem. But i did not get it til now. I ask one questions to airtel why airtel play game with the money of the customer due to their profit. All the conversations had with customer care is recorded with me when it seems to necessary i will provide.
        Till now the problem is not solve nor call from airtel.

        Regards

          Hi,

          I was working is tcs kolkata when i bought this connection. Airtel was giving away the mi fi device for free of cost but it was a 6 months contract. Its been over 6 months right now and i couldn't pay the bill for last two months. So they stopped the service. After i have paid the bill adding penalty, yet i'm not getting internet services. But receiving bills every month without any usage. I tried every way possible to deactivate this connection but they aren't doing it.

          Kindly please help me get rid out of this situation.

          My number : [protected]

          Thanks & regards,

          Sawan kumar patra

                It's been 3 days now that my number has not been activated correctly. Three times i have gone to the arc centers in navi mumbai and andheri east and all three times someone else's number is activated on my sim instead of mine. That person is a defaulter whose outgoing calls are barred. Then when i go to the airtel store they tell me provisioning will not happen today as it is a saturday. Now i realise why people are moving away from airtel and i'll be one of them pretty soon.

                    I bought honor 8x and there was handset offer from airtel at that time. As per offer, airtel will give additional 20gb upon first 18 recharge of rs199. I did the said recharge but they are not giving benefit of offer. Customer care, nodal officer & even appellate officer is not resolving my complaint. Complain ref _chbnr[protected].

                    I will migrate to other network now.

                        Hello,
                        My mobile no is [protected] and recently ported into airtel. From day 1 i'm facing the problem regarding incoming call and volte services. First, i called customer care and told them about the problem that i'm unable to receive calls while on the 4g network. They did nothing except give me the false promise of site upgradation at my location (Provided i have other airtel sim cards too and they are working fine). I also called them regarding the problem about volte activation. I'm not receiving volte services on my mobile no. Even when i switched to airtel 4g volte supported device (Redmi 4a). I called them again and told that i have a volte supported device and again they gave me similar pathetic replies. I've also dm them on twitter but again they have not taken any action on my complaints. When i told them to show me the status of previous complaints, they refuse to do so. This clearly shows that they are not doing anything and hiding the information that i have right to know.
                        Airtel is misguiding me for last 1 month which is a criminal offense.
                        Kindly take serious action against airtel and i request fellow readers to not to port into airtel. Airtel not taking their customers seriously. I'm also gonna port out if they don't activate volte services within 2 months.
                        P. S. I'm also attaching the twitter chat screenshot.

                            I am airtel dish tv subscriber id no [protected] in the name of parveen khatter 559 sector 6 karnal. On dated 05/03/2019 i requested to airtel through customer care to disconnect my connection with immediate effect and they send the confirmation massage generating ref id.86487467 on 05/03/2019, but after that they are charging from my account on daily basis which is totally wrong. My balance with airtel tv was rs.579/ on the date.

                              Channel given in my package which I have not put on my list. And not removing it even after I constantly call them to remove it from my package. Channel's name is NDTV . I called the customer care of Airtel DTH service and they have told me that it's absolutely free and then I said that I don't want to watch this channel several times

                                  I have been using my mobile number ([protected]) for past 15 years plus. I recently was out of station for 7 months. When i inserted the sim it showed inactive, i came to know my number is allocated to some one else. My point is how come in this much short duration you can allocate my number to some one else? This number is update in all my bank accounts, demat, pan detail, aadhaar account. My privacy is at risk as all the sms (Verification code, otp, urn) still goes to this number and i am fully prone to fraud as well because of exposed information. How irresponsibly my 10 years old number was allocated to some one else. After this long service i did not expect airtel to act so irresponsible which put mt at very high risk. Kindly take this matter urgently and give me chance to re activate my number

                                  Regards

                                    Hi,

                                    I have ported my number from tata docomo to airtel prepaid on 2nd march and still my number is not activated yet. The signal went off on 7th march and no signal on airtel sim. I need to receive important calls and need to do online transactions which i cannot do because of the service provided by airtel.

                                    Please resolbe this issue as soon as possible.

                                    Thanks.

                                        I requested for airtel broadband connection on 27th of feb, 2019. Guy from airtel called me to make the advance payment of 1767 rupees for 3 month charge and said connection will be done on the same day.

                                        After the payment was done the guy said it will take 2 days. After waiting for the installation for more than 2 days i called the customer care. They said it will be done today.

                                        Its been more than 10 days now. Everyday i am calling the customer care for refund of my money as i dont want their service as installation is still not done.

                                        Kindly refund my amount immediately.
