Dear sir/mam
I am a prepaid customer of airtel company sim card.
I have a complaint regarding net consumption on my sim card having no. [protected].
That is. I off my network on 12:00 am dated today (28/12/2018). After that i not on my network data till now (12:04pm). And when i calls to airtel customer care they say i used 352.17mb on 12am (Some customer agent say 12:03am and some say 12:00:03am ; when i call 3-4 times to customer support).
And i want to say that i even not on my mobile network data.
Now i want to know why this consumed data show through your company, customer agent say we have only this information. Further according to customer agent say supposed i off my network data on 12:00:03am then how 352mb consumed in just 3 seconds even i use a 3g mobile network where maximum network speed on mobile up to 1mbps, generally it is 300-400kbps in my area ratanada, jodhpur rajasthan. One thing i want to say that i always off auto updates in play store that is suggest by every customer agent and senior supervisor, also i always restrict my mobile background data.

Please give me complete details about my network data consumption.

Thanks..!

Rajesh

    I am using prepaid telephone number [protected] you have deducted Rs.23.00 from the main balance with out proper communication, intimation and consent from the user. I request you to give credit to my account immediately. I think the complaint can be understood and not too short as system showing it. you are minting money out of illegal deductions

      Dear sir,
      This email i am attaching for the references that airtel doing cheating jobs while giving oral communication we apologize for the cause and we will sort out issues. But atlast they don't even inform anything and mark as deactivated stage or barring situation. This is seem to be worst behaviourism by technical support and customer service. While need to outstanding balance they try to contact us through mail and voice call like creating nuisance and disturbance to the users. I have been using this number for many years. Since i have been satisfied only using this number. Otherwise i have would moved to some other subscribers. Many time they apologize for the cause for porting out for some subscribers. With there understanding only i have been quite. Request to take immediate action on this or provide alternative assistance on this issue to airtel client

        Airtel says 3gb data is free for international roaming in the below link.
        https://www.airtel.in/ir-packs

        When i chose maldives and entered my number, it says zero rental.

        But when i used internet of around 15 mb (1437 kb), it is charging me rs.14370, which is unacceptable.

        I am ready to make a case in court even, can anyone help with this?

              I got a message telling me that my sim card was activated after porting it from tata docomo to airtel, but it's been three days and the sim hasn't started working. Neither has the old sim stopped. It shows sim 4 not provisioned. When the message regarding the sim card set appeared, the airtel sim was briefly active. But it told me to restart the device, and when i did, the sim wasn't working.

                  First of all i have'nt used the internet but still the my airtel app says 500 mb of data was consumed.
                  Second to ask details about this i called to 121. Well sorry to tell you that was simply useless and i wasted my precious time. Why dont you have an option to connect to your service assistants in your customer care. Every issue cannot be solved by robots. Mind it..

                        Hi idea,
                        I have port my number [protected] on 19 december 2018 and in evening i got sms on my alternate number to activate sim by calling 59059. From that time till date i am trying 59059 but it is not connecting.

                        When call airtel support and tell my problem they wouldn't talk logical and keep on saying pls try calling 59059. I think these less skilled resource just work like parrot and only say single line and don't give logical answer nor try to help.

                        I am every day getting sms on my alternate number to call 59059 and get your connection activated but 59059 is not connecting. Pls provide any other number or activate services of my new airtel number [protected]

                        My alternate number is [protected]

                            I've ported my no.[protected] from bsnl to airtel and i've also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number, along with this there's poor network signals in our locality. My alternate no. Is [protected].
                            Would be glad if you resolve it.

                              not changing my broadband plan

                              Address: New Delhi, Delhi, 110077

                              I run a small company and have 2 airtel broadband connections[protected], and[protected].

                              A few months back, i received a call that my plan can be upgraded with a lot of added benefits and there will be no increase in monthly bill charges. I agreed to the upgrade request.

                              After the new plan came into effect, i started receiving inflated bills.

                              I contacted airtel via phone, and they said...

                              Hello Sir/Madam,

                              With ref to my phone no - [protected], without my knowledge Airtel have been changing my postpaid plans. My base plan was 149 which was changed to 399 plan. From last one year, They have been repeating this change of plan without my knowledge even though I have reported this many times. Due to this I am getting bill which I have not subscribed for.

                              Appreciate your help on this.

                              Regards,

                                I am not having any Airtel Landline connection. But I receive more than 5 calls from customer care team daily regarding pending payment for some unknown Airtel landline number. They are telling that my mobile number has been given as alternate number. It is very irritating me. How to solve this issue.?

                                  As per government, now we can choose monthly packs with reduced rate till December 26, 2019.
                                  But Airtel customer support is behaving like they don’t know anything. Before two days of deadline also they are just talking ### and the representatives are completely unprofessional.
                                  We need support for this issue, otherwise this operators never support these government rules.

                                    My name is Jayanta Banerjee and my permanent residential address is 235 Barisha Dakshin Para Road. Kolkata -

                                    700063. For the last 6-7 years I am using a number ([protected]), currently the service provider of this number is

                                    AIRTEL INDIA. From today i.e on 27th December 2018 the mobile number was totally stopped and there is no network at

                                    all.When I am trying to call on this number, it was saying that the said number is not a valid number. I was very

                                    astonished with this incident and hence I went to a nearby AIRTEL customer care centre, the executives present

                                    there replied me that the number was stopped by TRAI and AIRTEL was not responsible for the incident. The AIRTEL

                                    executives forced me to go for the "POSTPAID" connection to revive the mobile number. Founding helpless I was

                                    forced to go for the "POSTPAID" connection. I am a regular user of this number and my last recharge was done on

                                    14th December 2018 for the amount of Rs.35 / at 10.13 A.M.
                                    My request to TRAI to let me know, why my number ( [protected] ) was stopped

                                    suddenly in spite of regular use without any prior information.
                                    I will be very much obliged if you kindly see this matter and my humble request to convert the

                                    number ([protected]) from "POSTPAID" to "PREPAID" connection .

                                      Dear sir/ madam,
                                      Greetings of the day!
                                      My name is aamir basha i have. Mobile number [protected] and an add number [protected] which i purchased in the month of october but haven't been able to use the services as i purchased the same for internet facility but i am being charged for the same every month.
                                      I have contacted the person and have been to the store couple of time but no such solutions provided.

                                      I was asked to change the sim card which i did but still no progress on the same hence i have come back on the 19/12/2018 i. E. Today to again get the services.

                                      This part of the email is a continuation post my last visit as the manager of the store assured to me that the problem will be resolved but the same has not been done.

                                      Today the date is 27/12/2018 which is exactly 2 months post me buying the sim card additional one.

                                      It has not yet been rectified and i have been asked that the same will be done every time i come to the store. I have chosen an higher cost plan so that i would be entitled for an extra number so that i can use the same in my tablet.

                                      This is utter mental harresment, cheating and non delivery of the service which i am paying for, would request if the same can be looked into and a proper compensation for the harresment done to me would also be required.

                                      It's very sad to say again that if i don't pay for the services it will be deactivated but what is done when the services are not delivered even post paying, what is the action taken

                                      Good afternoon team,

                                      I have submitted my airtel baby number. [protected] to the store manager abhishek and asked him to do the needful. It's very difficult to have understood that this is the way i am being treated and i would also like to request if i can port my main number [protected] to vodafone as i am done following up with this thing over a month.
                                      I would not want to be charged for the second number anymore as i have not used any services of it. And would request if the charges can be reversed as soon as possible.
                                      Sad regards,
                                      Aamir basha
