Dears,
I have a serious issue/ complaint about airtel. Last month in my airtel prepaid number, it shows the validity upto 2021. Now today i have received a message which is telling that i have to recharge for my mobile number validity by 18th of december this month after that it will not work. If this type of services they will give every time then i don't have any option except to quit from airtel services. Every time i have recharged my number when it goes down & even i have not used it for calling as it is in international roaming. But they deducted from my account every time even i have not taken any services. Kindly solve the issue as soon as possible.

      Dear sir,
      Recently i have received message that if i have not recharge my airtel mobile number, the service will be stopped and the some amount will be also deducted from main account.

      If balance is available what is requirement of recharge our numbers every month. It is totally unfair rules.

      It is kindly requested to take a necessary action against the telecom company and give favourable decision to huge numbers of mobile consumers.

        Sir/madam,
        I recharged mistakenly for the amount of rs.159/- on 13.12.18 this offer actually not available for my number and available offer is rs.149/- where i get benefitted for 1gb/day +unlimited calls for 28 days. But for rs159 i got only unlimited calls+ totally 1 gb that also valid for 21 days. When i contacted them for about 3 to 4 times but no proper response. Is it right that if i pay extra i get penalty? Refund my money as this is totally cheating.

        No response till now.even I contacted them since Internet is not working. They asked me to restart mobile phone and try.i tried the same way they told but also not working. Other time I contacted them and told all these. Now they are asking me to visit their airtel showroom. Is this the way you could treat your customer?I was not able to send a single mail because of them and so I was not able to do my job today.pls take immediate action as it could affect my work.Reference no.C4GSP[protected], RSEWK[protected].

              I changed my internet 4g lte service plan, for the number [protected] around 25th sep 2018. After which my internet stopped working. I went to airtel gallery in vishrantwadi, pune. After several visits, my internet was still not working, post which i was asked to change the sim card. Even after replacement of sim card (Number [protected]) on 8th oct 2018, my internet services were not working.

              So on 13th of oct 2018, i asked the gallery person to provide me with a new connection for the internet and close the previous connection, which was [protected].

              I was provided with a new connection and a number for the same is [protected] and was assured that the previous connection has been closed.

              However, i am still getting bills on my mail for the number which i had asked to be disconnected.

              Need help to resolve this issue.

                I have an habit of watching animes and movies which is mostly supported by rapidvideo site. Recently you are not supporting that site and i'm not at all satisfied by your recent actions. I am using your services through sim. If you want to block any websites please make sure that customer view. So please consider this complainent and i believe by solving these customer including me get satisfied. Because others service providers like jio are not blocking these type of websites.

                            I registered on airtel money wallet. However when i am trying to initiate any transfer from my account, it shows debit facility has been disabled in my account. The number is [protected]. I have submitted all valid identification documents as per kyc norms to the airtel money email id. I dont know what kind of foul play is going on, they are just trapping people to use airtel money to receive gifts in form of cash for shopping and spending and paying bills, and once you get the money in wallet, they will stop the debiting. My wallet is not even a month old. And got a lot of balance, and now they have blocked it. They are now asking me to send to them the sender's bank account statement. Is it even logical? Why on earth will the sender share the bank a/c statement and as we know these details are very sensitive and confidential. Airtel assured me number of times for a proper resolution. But this aint a resolution even. I run the account, the account is in my name, i am the authorized person, i have submitted my verification documents. But when the company is here to loot me.

                              Hi sir/mam,

                              I got a message from airtel regarding outgoing service has been stopped by 17. Dec, but they just intimated to auto deduction of rs 23 from my main balance if i not recharged before 17 dec. They blocked the user number unable to complain with 121, 198 (Once i entered my mobile number it automatically stops).
                              After that i contacted with email-id. But they reply with verification block with sending incorrect otp to my mobile number. After that i contacted with airtel website complain number [protected].
                              This time they received my call. They are saying to me unable to stop that auto renewal and after 15 days incoming also blocked. I said to her clearly i don't want outgoing service now, if they block incoming service after 15 days, then i can do my recharge. But they said its automatic process, unable to stop it. I hereby attached the message i got from airtel. Kindly go through itand resolve the issue asap. Thanking you

                              Regards,
                              Ganesan d

                                I purchased a yearly pack sometime in august 2018. It has been working fine till now (Early december 2018). I've been having connectivity issues (Close to zero connectivity) for 2 weeks now which has impacted my work from home. I reached out the airtel customer care and they have not been the least bit helpful with the complaint.

                                I've now raised a request for cancellation and they choose to ignore it as well.

                                    I've taken 2 connection and later i wanted to disconnect 2nd connection. I've called customer care They said there will be a charge of 100rs for disconnection i said and okay and paid 100rs. but after a month now if i recharge my TV is asking to me to pay every 5 days and minimum is 200 rs.
                                    I've lost almost 5000 rs doing this every month.

                                    SUCH A PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PEOPLE ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL AND VERY LAME DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK TO A CUSTOMER .

                                      As per agreement at the time of purchasing sim (No.[protected]) in 2007, the validity of the sim was 2034. Then how can airtel suddenly curtail the validity period and ask for recharge to get outgoing and incoming validity?? Was this mention in the agreement?? If not so, they can't curtail my sim validity. How dare, they have also deduct my balance amount rs 39 without my consent. This is too much unfair business. I want my actual validity as it was i. E.2034, without any extra recharge. Kindly arrange for and do justice to me.

                                        Suddenly on 13th dec, 2018 the airtel sim on my phone stopped working. Initially thought it might be a phone problem. Restarted phone several times, changed sim slot, tried it in another phone, tried stopping other services like wifi. All of no use. As i work in night shift i couldn't do my any work
                                        All this without any intimation from airtel. I was about to receive important calls and messages on this number. Lost peace of mind due to this carelessness.

                                        I would like signals on my phone be restored as soon as possible, and additionally they need to compensate for loss of peace of mind, and loss of opportunity due to missed communication during the period.
