    Very poor voice/data network at my workplace.

    4th Floor, CIDCO Building, C.B.D. Belapur, Mumbai – 400614

    Landmark: NEAR Belapur Railway Station Complex

    No network bar is some locations and this cause a big issue, cant hear anything from the caller and the caller can not hear me, this is happening since last 6 months before it was working fine. Other ISP such as Idea/tata are having very good network hear.

      I have been receiving call and SMS(from HP-ARTDTH) for last 10 days from[protected] by Mr. Siddharaj, Rakesh and Rahul. Message content is as below
      ”Gentle Reminder Ajej Recharge Karo Airtel Dth Ma Fakt Rs 1499 Ma 6 Mth + 6 Mth Free, With 25 Chanel LifeTime Free, 12 Mth Pachi 1149Ma12 Mnth FreeCall[protected]”

      On call they have informed me by looking into my details that recharge with 799 and your base infinity package will automatically get connverted into Unlimited Dhamaka Offer where You will get 3 months + 3 Months free so total 6 months pack.

      However, after recharging my account with 799 nothing has changed instead it is showing my balance 795. Also I got SMS from AD-AIRDTG as below
      “Request for activating airtel digitalTV long duration pack could not be processed as existing pack is different from the pack recharge done. Please call[protected] [protected]”

      I called up on[protected] as well as on [protected] to Mr. Siddhraj but both Mr. Siddhraj and customer care executive talked very rudely.

              I changed my hellotune 7 days back and it hasn't played since and also customer care confirms that they have refreshed and it has been changed but it hasn't. No call back from technical team since then. My no. Is [protected]
              I again called them 2 days back and no one called me since they told me, two times, and said that technical support team will call within 24 hours. The company who is known for disturbing customers with schemes hasn't called to solve a problem.

                My airtel plan is of 150gb data per month. This much data is getting consumed within 20days. I continuously travel and i have my another home in usa as well. There my data consumption is not more than 40gb per month.
                I am facing this issue for last 6months or so. I also raised concern on 121 but no help. I changed passwords multiple times but still its not fixed.
                Is airtel stealing my data? Shall i go to consumer court or file rti?

                    Hi team,

                    I am a airtel subscriber and have paid 1200 rupees for getting free incoming for lifetime 13 years ago.
                    They promised that i will be eligible for lifetime free incoming calls.
                    Now they are asking me to recharge to get incoming calls.
                    I want to file a complain again airtel for relying on their actions as promised.

                    This is against the policy they have committed to customers.

                    Please check and do the needful

                    Thank you

                        With great regret i write this email, to have had such a bitter experience with airtel after being its long valued loyal customer for more than 10 years now.

                        Firstly, my prepaid connection is not working write now because of an recharge issue i encountered on 22 sept (Saturday), 2018 for which i paid and havent got the money back for rs.500/-
                        Secondly, your customer service representative mr. Umesh v from koramangala airtel office has displayed such audacity, arrogance and accused me while performing his duty on the floor.

                        On 22 sept (Saturday), 2018 i walked into koramangala 7th block airtel office to convert my postpaid to prepaid number. I opted for a plan of rs.499/- and the your customer care repsentative promised me that the plan will be activated in the next 24 hours and maximum by 24 sept (Monday), 2018 which means that the plan should be activated by 24th sept or 25th sept latest. But it had not activated until 25 sept (Tuesday). And on 25 sept (Tuesday), morning my connection was disconnected and i was not able to make any calls and i got a message saying due to insufficient balance.

                        On the same day, 25 sept, 2018 i had a job interview scheduled on 25 sept (Tuesday), and my phone stops working in the morning while my interview was at 11:00am and i had to get my phone working to attend the interview. So, in such an unlikely scenario, i had to recharge my prepaid account once again with another 500/- as the activation was not done in time as promised by airtel customer service representative.

                        On 27 sept (Saturday), when i walked into the airtel office again to get this clarifed and to check for refund back on my first unsuccessful recharge, the airtel store manager mr. Umesh v who listened to my very unlikely situation, was not trying to help me as a customer service representative but was only getting impatient and stubborn. He simply said that the money cannot be refunded and when i was asking for a reasonable justification he started answering me extremely arrogantly. While i was still trying to explain my situation, there was no effort made from him to understand and reason out things but went on accusing me for questioning. I havent seen such audacity from an customer service rep anywhere.

                        Finally after the conversation, i asked him what happens to the first unsuccessful recharge amount of rs.500/-, he showed me the record in my account and told me the plan will continue once this current active plan gets completed, but its not working today and i am facing issue.

                        Considering such an unlikely situation of mine when i had an interview scheduled on the same day (I can share the interview call letter with you as a proof if you so desire) and my phone stops working because you had failed to do your job correctly in time, i would blame your service as so inefficient and still does not know how to treat its customers politely.

                        In this context, i want the first recharge amount of rs.500/- that was paid for recharge on 22 sept 2018 to be activated on my present airtel number else refund the money back to me.

                        I would also want to pinpoint that what was promised to be activated by your csr in 24 hours, never happened and it was delayed because of which i had to recharge again on such an important interview day. This is totally a fault from your end and i was being accused unnecessarily by your csr, mr. Umesh v.
                        You must seriously think of replacing him, or giving him some extensive mental training on how to treat people on the floor.

                        And i would like to know what happens to the deposit amount of rs.800/- that you collected from me at the time of making a new postpaid connection now that i have converted to prepaid? I need that amount back too.

I am in a remote area where i cannot pay my bills. I can only pay it tomorrow which will not be delayed.

                                Airtel deducting rs 23 from main balance without my concurrence. Under what trai regulations they starting this mechanism to eat our money from balance? It is arbitrary & without any concurrence. What is trai doing to protect consumers right? Secondly, why i waste my time to listen crap of their customer cares to understand ridiculous method they r employing to misappropriate our balance.

                                My airtel number also got deducted 23 rs once outgoing due is over. I had 15 days incoming validity . Airtel forcefully deducted 23 rs from balance before utilising incoming facility . Either remove incoming validity if you like to deduct 23 from user on end of outgoing validity, also get confirmation from users before deducting amount . As per trai airtel should provide 15 days incoming facility. I suppose to recharge some other pack, by that time airtel deducted amount. I came to know that airtel is deducting 23 rs from all users by sending sms it got deducted. Refund the amount to all users please.

                                  I have choosen a wrong recharge plan 446 instead of 449. Now i am not able to make calls to customer care also. I have done the recharge through google pay.
                                  I want to know the way to proceed to get the refund if possible.
                                  If not i request the company to take a iniative on this kind of issues.
                                  Already there is refund policy for a wrong number recharge

                                    Airtel is cheating me with data usage. It's happening from past 6 months but today (23 - dec - 2018) i'm really frustrated and writing this complaint. I'm using 2gb/day plan and today i consumed 1gb data but suddenly a popup comes and tells me that 90% of data is consumed. It's happening everyday so i've installed a data monitoring app. And it is telling me that i used only 1gb of data. It's happening daily with me. I'm adding screenshots please see those and also time above it. If airtel does this again i'm going to throw this sim in garbage. Airtel is fraud. Their ads are fraud. Their plans are fraud.

                                    Same with me and nobody is responding about it.
                                    Why is this happening..
                                    This is so cheap behaviour...

                                      Team,

                                      I really do not understand what do i need to do to get my services rectified. I have been raising requests after requests complaining about your pathetic network and bad customer service quality.

                                      I have been a customer of yours for years together now yet my experience with airtel is getting worsened day by day. Previously a service request was raised yet there was no update that i received from airtel technical team regarding the issue raised and all that i see is that the service request was closed without even a consent from my end.

                                      I work in the night and hence i ask specifically to be contacted at a preferred time yet i get calls during the course of the day which i miss which is quite obvious because i would be sleeping and hence i go ahead and ask to be contacted at a particular time.

                                      I have been having issues with your pathetic services. I am having issues as i am not able to go ahead and use the internet services provided by you. Anytime any place the network is so damn pathetic that i just hate using your services. The internet just cries to even get connected.

                                      Continuing the issue regarding bad services did u even check the call quality, i am having a very bad experience in terms of the voice calling, half the time the network is so bad that i’m experiencing call drops, voice cracking and unable to even connect when a call is made within my network or outside my network.

                                      The issue is at both my billing address and my home address or rather if i have to be very clear your network is bad at all places.

                                      I don’t think you have ever checked the quality of your network or even if you have checked airtel is no longer bothered about serving the customer rather airtel is more bothered about surviving the competition from other network providers.

                                      Last but not the least try fixing ur airtel app. Attached is the screenshot of the error when i try to submit a service request.

                                      I really don’t understand what the hell is your open network coz everything updated there is #. This is again my personal opinion.
