      Dear sir/madam,

      I am using airtel for last 5 years. Suddenly, today validity is expired. I recharged rs 199. Even though i got the message as successful recharge but still i could call (All incoming and outgoing calls are stopped). So i recharged rs 24 but still, i could not call anybody.
      I hope you will consider my complaint and resolve it soon

      Regards,

        My airtel postpaid number is [protected]. Raising this complaint as i recieved a false bill for my ir pack. Have travelled to malaysia/singapore on 21 dec 2018 and i activated the international roaming pack for 10 days for these countries. I reached india on 28 th dec 2018 itself. Ideally once i reach my base country the pack should have been deactivated since i am not travelling to malaysia again in the ten days time period. I travelled to maldives on 30 th dec 2019 for 1 day so i did not activate as there was no pack available in the webiste. Once i reached maldives airport my network was available where as my wife postpaid number was not having service so i used the data for some emergency. Later got a message after 8 hours from airtel that outgoing is barred as u have reached the limit and got a sms stating rs 63000 has been used. After returning to india on 31 dec 2019 called the customer care to get to know the details of this message i received but they did not give proper explanation and informed once bill generated we will come to know. Now received a bill of rs77828 from airtel for the call and data usage where data usage is 69 mb (63000) and charged for that.

        1. When i arrived maldives my service should have been deactivated or alerted me that the international roaming pack is not applicable in maldives and should have mentioned the tariff details for calls and data but i just got a delayed sms after 3 hours of my arrival stating welcome to maldives data rates applicable at non discounted rates. As per trai consumer protection act 2015, customers should get sms immediately they are outside india on international roaming pack.in my case the service provider airtel failed to do so.

        2 as informed by customer care executive when i reached india after asking the details several time got the below details, as they were not ready to tell the tarif[censored]pfront

        1. [protected]@ 400rs pm

        2. [protected]@50 rs

        3. Data @10/kb

        Not sure why these basic tariff details are hidden as i am not the first person from airtel to visit maldives. Since they know these tariff prior as a service provider they should have been intimated me through sms upon my arrival in maldives. As a customer i have the basic right to get it. These charges are hidden by airtel to make money.


        3. I am ready to pay for the malaysia pack charges which i am liable for. But in case of maldives when they have failed to alert me about the service charges i am clueless in a new country to know what would be my tariff if i have to use for emergency purpose.


        Action item.

        1. Why i was not intimated with the base tariff details when i am reaching a new country. As per trai guidelines an alert should be given to user in the form of sms on international usage about the data charges and call charges. Also after usage of every 10 mb as per trai the user should be alerted where i dint get any of that kind. Just got a sms after all my 100% percent is over. The exact tariff was not intimated when they know about this charges prior.

        2. Not satisfied with the reply from nodal officer i am writing this complaint. From their side they are telling bill is correct and charges are correct and asking to pay. And nobody is giving me a complaint number when i ask them. The mail's i communicate with them is just like a private mail chain and i am sure even the appellate office will not share me the complaint number.

        Also even after contacing customer if we ask for the data charges they are not telling properly. I have the proof for that as well.


        With no hope i am writing this complaint as i feel i am ready to pay for the ir pack activated for malaysia but not this false data bill. Request the complaint board or trai to take strict action against these kind of false service provider and heavily charge penalty against these service provider.

        Also I would need adjustment of my bill as airtel is not ready to adjust my bill inspite the mistake is at their end.

          I have ported my number from airtel to idea. Firstly airtel took long time to release my number and secondly sent me a bill of 236 rs of my usage thats okay fine, because of some reason i got late to pay the bill so as per the policy idea temporary deactivated my number thats okay fine. But after i submitting my receipt to idea, airtel is still not giving clearance to activate my sim now its been 11 days since my sim got deactivated.
          Very poor service, irresponsible company.
          I want my sim activated as soon as possible

            I am unable to use internet using aietel 4g data connection. From sep2019 onwards i am being told that there is new tower is coming up and this problem would be resolved. But till now there is no progress. I have paid rs.480 for 82 days 4g data connection without using internet and voice as poor signal. And again 5th dec 2018 till now i rarely use interenet and voice call as the poor signal. It force me to think to switch over to other service provider. I purchased bsnl sim for voice call because airtel poor connection.

                  Hello,

                  This regarding the my airtel digital tv id [protected].

                  I had a internet airtel digital tv connection earlier and now i have taken a additional hd connection as well.

                  Unfortunately both are not working. Internet tv connection is showing signal not found and in a day it works may be for an hour or less.

                  Hd connection mostly in the evening time does not shows hd channels. Only non hd channels are showing.

                  I have connected several time to customer care and the vendor who comes for installation of internet tv.in spite of requesting to change the setup box for internet tv which is faulty for beginning, they are not changing it.

                  My money is wasted as i am not able to watch. As i have taken yearly subscription it is a loss for me.

                  1. I need to get internet tv setup box changed immediately but airtel is not changing it.

                  Regards,
                  Santosh

                    I'm a airtel dth costumer for 5 years and today when i'm choosing my dth package as per trai regulations i noticed that airtel is charging 153 rs. As ncf charges which is 23 rs. More than actual charges.
                    Trai have set the ncf change at 130 rs. So why airtel is changing me 153 rs.
                    That's why i'm here to complaint against airtel for condemned the trai rules.

                      My mobile no.[protected] is a prepaid having airtel sim card.in spite of regular recharge i receive a voice from airtel that you will not able to make any outgoing calls with immediate effect while the printed message says the balance amount of ₹44/ with 100 mb data. Today i got another voice message that your incoming calls are blocked with immediate effect. The airte is providing a txn i'd when the amount is paid. Then the question arises where this money goes? When the complaint is lodged thru e - mail to airtel there answer is that the above no. E-mail i'd is not registered with them and they ask to click on some address which does not exist. I told them to convey their reply by sending sms on my mobile to which they never respond.
                      I sincerely hope to receive a clear cut reply from airtel or they would plunder my money as they had done earlier for tune melodies which were never asked by me. Satish tikekar

                          I lost my sim card which i've been using for aroung 4 years. The sim is linked to all my official purpose and banking areas. Upon approaching the offline store with an fir (Lost and found) copy i was informed that the sim card was not registered on my name. The pathetic consumer support includes employees like mr. Narayan ([protected]-odisha) who clearly lack the basic principles of consumer support i. E listening and understanding, i have been a loyal coustomer of airtel for 4-5 years and i am shocked at the ways the company is treating its coustomers. Due to a shopkeepers negligance and due to airtel not taking proper validation. My number was registered to someone else and i encountered this only when my sim got lost. I am not able to block my sim card and issue an alternate number even after having proper fir and reissuing documents. I am greately dissatisfied as an airtel consumer and i see how the company has transformed over the years from coustomer oriented to money oriented

                            Dear sir, i purchased international roaming pack of airtel on 27 dec 18 for 28 days for my mobile number [protected]. I was not provided any service ie i could not make a single call anywhere including india. I could send only two or three sms. Incoming sms also are free in roaming. I sent numerous compalints by email to [protected]@airtel.com and [protected]@in. Airtel.com. Only once they replied that network services are provided. I want to know the details of all calls made by me which were successful as i have complete record of screen shots showing 'network not available'.

                                  The network coverage of airtel in my area is very poor. Airtel didn't provided me the services that you promised on my number. The network in of airtel in my area is very poor. I have made hundreds of complaints but each and every representative of airtel had given false information. Many representatives told me that a new tower is going to be build in my area by end of october 2018 but by the help of airtel open network i got to know that the new tower is going to be build by january 2019, the time when my offer would be ended. It's the end of january now, neither the new tower is build now, nor is the network improved, instead it had degraded a lot more. I was not at all able to use my internet data and make any clear calls on my phone number [protected]. Airtel team told me to wait but now its around 100-120 days till i've waited. Airtel team didn't helped me at all (121, 198, nodal department, airtel appellate). The airtel open network also show my home out of coverage, but in their emails airtel always write that the network coverage is excellent in my area. If the airtel engineer told me that there is no network at all in my area neither outdoor nor indoor/roof. But they didn't took any action at all.

                                  Getting neglected a lot i am left with no other option but to contact consumercomplaints.in. You are the last hope.
                                  As i didn't get any resolution from airtel team, my complete plan was wasted. Now my appeal is i want a refund/compensation for the money i paid for the recharge that never worked because of airtel's mistake and negligence. That's why i contacted you. I want refund of ₹798 (Two offers of ₹399 each

                                  If i don't get any resolution then i am going to file a complaint in consumer court against airtel and their representatives fraud about wrong information and fake commitments. Airtel promised me high speed internet and didn't fullfill their commitment. The allegations against airtel are -
                                  1. Not providing the services they promised.
                                  2. Giving wrong information to consumer.
                                  3. Intentionally embrangling the consumer by giving them wrong contact phone numbers.
                                  4. Making flase commitments and promises again and again.
                                  5. Intentionally ending voice calls of consumer to ignore him.
                                  6. Not contacting the consumer within promised time i. E indirectly ignoring him

                                      Hi i am facing similar issue as i recharged with 448 pack and i hardly used my data. I might have used 120 mb but it shows as 1.5gb used for the day.
