Airtel starts value added services and charged rs 20, though i have not subscribed. I complained and got the refund but they did not gave any reason why was it automatically activated, when i asked them through mail.
I think airtel is scamming people charging for i was lucky i noticed my balance deduction and there was no message receives about the subscription received.

It might be a huge scam of duping people specially the unfortunate people who don't notice and don't know how to get in contact with the customer care.

    Bill payment for fixed line [protected] of rs 707 is not going and kept pending. I, am not able to understand this and the delay in releasing the payment when there is sufficient balance in the bank account.in my experience earlier it took 2 days to make the payment. This causes worry and tention. Please do the needful to set right the problem.

        Sir, surpassing my earlier complaint dtd.[protected]Airtel complaint status id 2108200), instead solving my problem another problem creater at-airinf has started renewing the service which i have never requested for. The persons who call on us, make fun of me for overstaying of problem and extending another problem on my no. [protected]. They have reduced my balance to zero. Lodging complaint with you has not yet solved my problem but increased instead. God knows how you act and squeeze the
        Customers. Regards, = mrs vimla soni.
        Now, if my problem is not solved, i will be left with no other alternative than to lodge fir in nearest police station.

          I placed an order for iPhoneX 64GB Space Grey on 23 Jun 2018. I was excited and was waiting to receive the new phone. As a first step, Airtel said SIM card would be delivered followed by iPhoneX, but I didnt receive the SIM for a week. Called Support and only reply is that it would be delivered soon. Approached airtel website, the support feature is not user friendly and extremely worse which doesnt have an selection path for my issue and didnt have an option to accept custom queries from customers. After 3-4 weeks, I received a call from Airtel network shop stating that SIM card is ready to delivered, that should have been delivered in 3-4 days. I wasnt interested due to delay and lack of support from Airtel. I then had to cancel the order, I did on 14 Aug, till now the refund hasnt been initiated. Very much affected due to the extremely poor service from Airtel. Airtel never bothered to call me on primary/secondary/aadhar phone nor sent an email or post. I have a broadband, a mobile service and dish tv from Airtel, i am really worried that with all these communication service that I have with Airtel was not able to reach me.

                  I'm using airtel more than 10 years, i'm staying in hebbal, bangalore.
                  Nowadays i'm facing lot of network issues from past 6 months even though i have informed network problems but also nobody took seriously and nobody solved yet.
                  I thought airtel will be good as the days going on but it's going bad and worst network.
                  Kindly call or check network where i'm staying and solve asap.
                  If not i need to port to another network.

                  Thanks,
                  Dennyson

                      Today vydozinebimonth service had been activated on my [protected]@ rs35.0 but any such request was not made by me. So i request you to look into the matter and credit back the amount as soon as possible on my number. I also sent the message to 'stop' the service but no action is taken nd my balance is deducted for no reason as i never applied for any such service... So i want the amount back on my number and i request you to act on it

                                Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 995 and had activated unlimited pack for next 180 days had shown as failed in airtel app (Transaction done using 'google pay'.)
                                I had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 995 again with my city union bank and the it got recharged twice accidently.

                                I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

                                Now they were not ready to refund.

                                Does it make sense?? No matter how you pay money i was paying it to airtel.

                                Kindly look into this at the earliest and i am ready to provide you all yhe the transaction details as i want to find a solution for this by having the money refunded.

                                Thank you.

I got around 20 calls from airtel executives to port my number to there network bcoz docomo is going to quit. Later i agreed and airtel executive came to hand over the sim.. On phone he told no charges for postpaid af, but later i asked for prepaid he told he told that i should pay 440 rs for prepaid sim... Then i paid d amout but after activation of my airtel sim i came to know it was postpaid. I should pay due amount to get it convert to postpaid.. Seriously how cum you can cheat a person.. I felt so disappointed.. Can it is possible now to refund my 440.. As far as i know no network is charging money for porting. Please let me know... If there is charge for porting then please dismiss my complaint

                                    Address: Mysore, Karnataka, 570004

                                    Since we need to connect from Home for Critical issues, I purchased the airtel Hotspot thinking that network was good seeing the add even they confirmed the connection is verg good in Mysore.

                                    From the starting itself it was worst, I was not able to even check my Mails properly and the same day I gave complaint and couple of times I visit airtel showroom but none of them responded properly. Due to this I get an escalation from my Manager not to login at a proper time.

                                    After that I went for other connection and it is working as expected.

                                    Also I clearly told Airtel call center team and Airtel showroom since I am not at all using the Airtel Hotspot I am not going to Pay the bill for sure. They told they will waveoff the amount. Even thought I paid couple of months.

                                    Now daily atleast twice they are following up for Bill Instead of fixing the actual problem. Airtel is worst.
