I m an airtel digital tv costumer for more than eight years. Several times i decided to stop the services of the said company becoz of thier poor and non-customer friendly services. I shifted to new a house and requested the company for reinstallation of my connection and upgradation of settop box. Company doesn't bother for customer requests n their time. Company is only interested in making calls for recharge requests which is very much a kind of harrassing. After soo many requests company assigned some mr manish airtel technician for the said job. Mr manish contacted me n the time was fixed for 11am. As thr was no other than me on the house, so i dropped all my appointments n engagements to remain at home. Since 11am he remained making exusus untill 7pm n when again contacted at 7pm, he told me that now i will not come today...
Now i request the company to close my connection. As i will move to another company fr new connection. N also request not to make unnecessary calls otherwise i will sue the said company to court for unnecessary harrassment of customers

    I am having airtel secure insurance policy for my handset and on 18th jan'2019, accidentally my handset screen & back was broken. I raised a claim 3904825 and post discussion with customer care, i wrote an email also basis that i was not getting my handset invoice while searching it in my documents with undertaking as suggested by customer care executive.
    After 2 days, i received communication that claim has been rejected because of invoice not available.. I was travelling so i request to please hold the claim rejection till i come back & search again and finally i submit the invoice also and after 2 days, i was again communicated that the claim was rejected because as per description written during claim registration at mobile app, it is the case of carelessness.
    I am not a kid who will handle the expensive handset carelessly & even description also not showing that clearly. I am agree that some information i didn't wrote because o[censored]nawareness but the information provided shows that its accidental case.
    This shows like airtel secure was in mood to reject the claim one sided without even discussing the circumstances of damage.

    This is really frustrating and leading to high level dissatisfaction. Worst is when i am connecting to 121 to put my point that they are saying that you will receive a call back in 48 hrs, its 3 times and i didn't receive any call back in last one month.

    I hope i can hear back and find satisfactorily solution.

        I have ported [protected] from idea to airtel; it was troublesome right from the beginning. The airtel executive (Took it from airtel store, opposite to boat club). After 48hrs completed that idea network lost and airtel sim is not at activated. I'm calling to airtel store people where i took the sim they are telling different reasons, and it will work after 2 hours. What is the issue i don't understand? When it will be solved. Kindly activate it as early as possible.

          I've done a recharge of amount 399 on 21- feb-2019 at 12.53 p. M. Here after 30 hours those benefits yet to be credited to my number.

          All follow-ups with airtel customer care were unsuccessful. I haven't received those benefits yet. Airtel customer care representatives denied to refund my money and acted like i've no other option apart from waiting as they already have my money with them.

              So, i've converted my airtel number from postpaid to prepaid one week ago. The postpaid services got cut off 4 days ago. And i haven't been able to recharge my phone since then. I;m facing issues like:

              1. Failed recharge
              2. Airtel app error: something went wrong while processing request.

              I'm able to recharge for other numbers of my family members using the same app but it wouldn't let me recharge mine. Please, fix this issue asap i am in dire need of balance in my phone.

                I had complained to airtel regarding continuous network issue at b. P. Road, kharigaon, bhayander east.
                They are aware that issues are there but they are not willing to invest in improvement and let go customers if they want.
                So please take this matter seriously otherwise i have method to port my number to any other good network company in our area.

                    Dear sir

                    I have airtel digital tv dth connection vide number [protected] with registered mobile number as [protected]. Today on 22nd february 2019 airtel has suddenly scrapped some channels and upon my call to the customer care i was told that my package has been changed as i have not yet chosen the package as per trai order despite have 345/- balance in my present package. This is arbitrary in nature and amounts to committing fraud on public as well as cheating and breach of trust. They must refund my entire package of 541/- that i recharged recently. Public must be cautioned not to subscribe to this dubious and treacherous dth service provider
                    With regards
                    Vijay srirang

                      From my airtel prepaid number i checked on *121# for recharge plans and got an offer saying @ rs.92 6 gb data 28 days validity but after recharge i got just 7days validity. Customer care says we cant do anything. Airtel is mentioning wrong recharge plans on *121# and misleading customers. It says *121# is wrong number but its totally working with airtel showing correct balance validity other info, and if so then airtel must notify about wrong or changed number to customers but didn't. Operator should extend validity or refund the amount. Attaching screenshot of wrong misleading plans.

                                Trai introduce new channel system for dth tv which is cumbersome and difficult to understand. Airtel is not responding phone calls and emails. No proper guidance how to make own pack as their mininimum pack is more then 300 rs month which costing me 600 rs per year then old pack which i was paying. After choosing pack you have to scan qr code which is to be scanned by downloading app of qr code. Why such things? It is nothing but harrasment. My id is [protected]. I tried lot and wasted time to contact them but no response.

                                I dissatisfied because of service why disconnect the TV connection without any formation.

                                    I have recharged a wrong number [protected] with 399 using airtel app. Please transfer the recharge to the correct number [protected]. Can this be processed as soon as possible please. The recharge was done on 21st feb. It was a genuine mistake and also i the number that i recharged incorrectly didn't require it as it still has services left for over 30 days.

                                      Dear sir or madam,
                                      Even after your directives and the obligation for airtel to provide lifetime free services and despite retaining balance in my account, it discontinued my services. First, are these companies telecom regulators? Second, how can they breach the contract? How can they use my funds when they discontinue my services? It's my hard earned money. Instead of improving their services this # company has chosen these techniques to improve arpu. Should it still continue be in business if it is not competitive? Because, same thing can be replicated in other industries. I don't see your influence on them as a regulator. I require you take strict and punitive action against them to seek reimbursements of amounts taken. Please refer screenshot attached. Blanking out my number to prevent telemarketing calls and inappropriate usage by others.

                                      Regards,
                                      A responsible citizen acting for the better of the republic of india
