Airtel deducted balance in the name of the validity without any permission. This is not acceptable.what i do? I want justice and want to refund and port the sim to another service provider, airtel is looting customers.please suggest legal action.
I was using airtel no for 4g hotspot with no [protected]. And i took by new sim with offer of 6 month validity by paying 1800 and while taking they told they will block old airtel sim. But still that is not blocked and i am getting bills.
Please see to the network issues happening frequently in Airtel always says that it is good network but working as worst.

    Hello team,
    Sub - though bill is paid still gets call from billing team with abusive language.
    Sub-on roaming data connection is very very bad.

    My number is [protected] and customer of airtel mobile service since couple of years. I have paid rs 389 on dec 30th 2018 to airtel for this bill which was generated on 18th dec 2018.
    Transaction reference[protected], receipt[protected]
    Even i checked the website also using myairtel where it shows due amount is zero. You billing team is shouting on me saying "r u educated" "r u mad"? This is the way u talk to your customer.

    Also prior to this i want to put big story how airtel serves roaming customer
    During july[protected] i had visited bhubaneswar (Orissa) from bangalore. My sim card was originally from bangalore. After reaching orissa i did not get 4g connection at all. I called upon almost 32-35 times. Without any result i came back to bangalore. I was supposed to ported different operator. Airtel people told your problem is resolved, next time u will not face this issue. I went to bhubaneswar (Orissa) on dec 9th 2018. I did not see any change in my issue. Still i was getting 3g, which made my life difficult again. After multiple call to customer care t nothing happened. On dec 15th issues got raised by dec 20th nothinh happened. Even i went airtel office 2-3 times, where they suggested my to changed sim card with orissa sim. On dec 21st onwards i started getting 4g. I returned from bhubaneswar to bangalore on 1st jan 2019 night. After reaching bangalore i started getting interenet issue. Sometimes 3g or if 4g comes it is for short period

    Base line is if the subscriber is in roaming it does not get proper internet connection.

    Thanks

      Hi,
      My number [[protected]]
      I have been facing network issues since a month. I'm unable to receive calls. It either says switched off or not reachable when someone is trying to call me.
      I have already raised a request on my airtel app twice and the issue was not resolved. I sent a port request believing airtel would take their customers seriously but received just an automated call although the was still the same.
      I'm facing network issues in my area and nowhere else. I tried calling 121 and the process to get in touch with the customer care so cumbersome, i couldn't lodge a complaint.
      It would be helpful if someone from airtel tried to contact the customers when there's a concern or a request raised.

          I have been using airtel for a long time. The services before were fine. Now, the networks are so poor, even more, their services. It looks like they hire illiterates to handle complaints. Everytime you call them, they make fun of you by repeating the same line over and again.
          I live in jangpura-b, new delhi. I have tried to raise my issue many times, but everytime they just submit a complaint and send me a message that a technician is resolving the issue. Few days later, they just send a message saying that the issue is with your device. I have even checked my device, everything is just fine with my device. The problem is with airtel, and their ignorance towards costumer complaints and grievances.

              Opened this complaint 2 years back.
              https://www.consumercomplaints.in/airtel-under-construction-junction-box-removal...

              this compliant is not resolved by airtel even after 2 years. They continued to put junction box. For us, parking car in small space is daily pain because of this junction box and they are causing more trouble now. Airtel random persons are pulling wires from the junction box. Wires are put openly infront of our house walking space. While walking it can make us fall and get injured. Irresponsible people from airtel who does such work.

              Airtel customer care representatives only posts messages in this forum.. No action is really taken in reality.

                                    Hello sir,
                                    I requested mnp for my idea number on 1st jan 2019, and yesterday i recieved an sms from airtel stating that my number will be ported by 5th jan 2019, 10:52 pm. My idea sim stopped working, i switched the airtel sim but the number is not activated.
                                    I need to have the number as it is my primary number.
                                    Kindly look into the issue.
                                    Thank you.

                                      Airtel internet is providing worst speed. I have recently recharged for rs399 3 days before and wasted the money i want to port as soon as possible.. I am not even able to surf simple sites and even the whatsapp messages... Worst internet and there is now way to contact and complain customer care services.. They never talk and register your complain.

                                        I am airtel postpaid plan user. I had data issues from the airtel as was not able to use the internet services from 27/12/2018. For one day i thought there may some technical glitched and will be resolved, but the same was not resolved. On 29.12.2018 morning i had made complain for the same but no proper response was received. Lateron in evening i had again called for the issue at that time one complaint number was received stating as follows:-

                                        "dear customer, reference no.[protected] for your airtel mobile has been registered on 29/12/2018 18:51:42. The same will be closed within next 16 hours.. To check the status, sms sr (Ref. No.) to 121."

                                        Till 31.12.2018, the problem was not resolved then i again called on 31.12.2018 at 18.11 and no satisfactory answer was received and again i was told that it will take another 72 hrs. However, i had forced the junior person to transfer the call to senior person and the same was done but it to 30 minutes and 37 second. After stating that i will go to consumer court these persons started to resove the querry and in 15 minutes my problem was solved. However, due to this glitch i had lost some money in share market as was using airtel services for trading through mobile. Alos my postpaid bill should also be reduced by the amount due to whcih i was not able to use the services properly
