      Respected sir,

      I have brought an airtel 4g hotspot zte (Model : mf920v) from your airtel representative on 20 october 2018.
      But the very first day after my activation (24 october 2018) of the sim card (Phno:[protected]),
      It is not connecting to the internet & the speed is very very slow so that i can not do anything with that much speed.
      It is completely useless for me. So i need a solution to connect the device or i want to return this back and want to refund my money.

      With regards,
      Anup kumar

            This morning (27.10.18) l (Cell ph no [protected]) received the following sms from my service provider airtel, stating -
            "thanks for using gamesworldpocket. You have been charged rs 20.0 from your airtel mobile account. For more services, call 56789"
            I never did use the stated item, nor did l ever opt or ask for it. Forcing such payments on to customers by the mobile phone service provider amounts to cheating and unfair trade practice.
            I want immediate refund of the deducted amount and non-recurrance of such incident.
            Kindly look into the matter urgently.

                Even after notification, they haven't contacted me the only way they are contacting me when i use port sms.
                Its easy to port to different network but what about the money I paid so far, and they are not able to give the commitment.

                    I have converted my airtel postpaid into airtel prepaid yesterday, today the verification done and message came the number is active after that i tried to recharge the number a 4 times (3times 249 and 1 time 199 from different payement banks and also from airtel money ) each time amt.deducted from my account but message came airtel declined the transaction . I tried to call the customer care and it said due to unsufficient balance it couldn't be connected . I tried to fill some top up but 1000 is the min. amt for topup . Please suggest what could i do to enjoy services as the way to active a number is so ridiculous, airtel must have proper guidelines to indicate some one.

                        I've been using Airtel number since more than 10 years, Airtel network is really poor in the place i live (Manjunatha nagar, Bangalore - 560010). I complained about this to Airtel customer care 2 year back and the network executive visited the place twice and went back saying the issue is received and they will contact after resolution. After 1.5 years, they called me asked if the issue is resolved without doing anything. I again told them that the issue still persists. Since last 1.5 months, the network has become even worse that i'm not getting the calls nor able to make calls.

                        I should tell the Airtel add they provide now makes me even angry that it is "INDIA's BEST NETWORK". I rate this as Worst network at my place.

                          I m a regular user of airtel i was found of it. But several time i quite but this time i wants to be a regular customer of you. I as a individual think that airtel can give better services than other network. I am failing to understand why they fail to do so. Since your person are not talking the concern of people seriously. They're regularly complaining but no one there to listen about the same. Kindly look into the matter of my problem. I have raised several complain about the same.

                              My airtel 4g sim seems to not be able to register to "ind airtel" network and so, my mobile shows that it has no data sim, while on searching networks, "ind airtel" is one of them, as mentioned above.

                              This has carried on for 3 days now, while i have been using this sim for 2 years.

                              I have tried switching signal type to 3g, and also all the other trivial solutions, still any kind of help will be appreciated.

                                I have asked for child sim in faridabad which could not be delivered in 3 days. Since i was travelling to bangalore airtel staff told me they will get it delivered at my bangalore office address.

                                Its almost 2 months, this no. Is not added to my parent no. Instead they have sent a bill and following for payment.

                                Do i need to send legal notice?

                                Regards,

                                  I have been cheated by airtel dth. By seeing an online advertisement i have been ordered for a new connection. When i saw at the advertisement it is mentioned rupees 1690/- inclusive all charges (Tax, installation etc. After that i got a call from airtel and they said the same. But when the person came to our place charged 2000/-. Which was above the amount which they have mentioned.

                                        Good day mr or mrs airtel.
                                        This is to bring your kind attention that my airtel prepaid service deactivated without prior notice. Kindly note that this happened 2 nd time in this year.
                                        I possess airtel prepaid connection, no. Is [protected]. Yearly 3-4 months i have to visit abroad as my work demands. So i was not using my airtel no. From july 2018. However i recharged my mobile no.in between to keep it active.
                                        Yesterday iam back to bangalore, airtel service was available and i used it. Did call to other no. And call recieved as well. Yesterday that means 25th october, around 8pm i topped up rs 499 via google pay. Money is deducted. As soon as recharged, airtel my no. Deactivated. When i spoke to the customer care, your top up is there in the system, you just need to register your no. Because registration cancelled due to non usage for 3 months.
                                        Today i went to airtel outlet which is in kamakya bangalore, they said not possible to get the money i recharged yesterday. Also same no. To activate takes about a week.
                                        I demand you to reimburse my money which i recharged yesterday 499.
                                        Or else u activate the no. From your end.
                                        It's really hectic to deal with your customer care guys, don't know anything.
                                        If registration cancelled how 499 rs recharge done. Why do you took the money..?
                                        It's a worst service among all network providers.
                                        Either you activate my airtel no. Or good bye to airtel.
                                        Regards
