      I cannot do a miss call to any of the isd numbers (Uae and singapore). Whenever i try to call, my balance got deducted as per their standard call rates. I have informed this in their customer care (Airtel) and have the voice clip relating to this conversation. As per their reply i cannot do miss call to any of the international numbers and this is their rule for morethan 3 years. But i am not aware of their "rule" till this date as i had made some missed calls to international numbers last month also. And that time my balance was not deducted. Also i have checked their "rule" by calling from another airtel number. That time also the balance remains unchanged. So why are they imposing their above said "rules" to some selected costumers.

      Ref - CBDOV[protected]

      Airtel deducted Rs 25 without consent and permission by automatically activating a service called INLOGIC Games -

      They aren't accepting their fault. Unauthorized debit without consent seems to be the norm at Airtel.

          I recharged a wrong number but i don't get the money back though i tried a lot.
          I recharged my airtel number through paytm and committed a little mistake in number and i lost the recharge not more than in one second. I tried hard to get it back but couldn't.
          So please refund me the lost money as it was by mistake. I am attaching a screenshot of paytm invoice here

            Why i am getting this emails again, i know airtel always provide worsts service for everything, i am sorry to say this

            Have on calls hours together on this and complained still getting the same, not sure who and how my official email id has been entered for this number which is not mine. You people are just blindly working and with fake documents selling numbers jut for business.

            Customer care team said that by mistake it was entered, not sure how it was by mistakenly exact official email id was entered in unknown person database.

            Completely fed up with airtel customer care and the support, can i expect immediate action on the person who is playing all this drama.

              I hate this airtel network. Unfortunately my mobile data was on in the phone and i'm not used any kind of applications and google also. After 10 min i have checked and disconnected mobile data. Airtel network has deducted 180 rupees at least they didn't send any kind of alert message. I have called customer care and asked them about balance deduction. They are telling "you are used 30mb data so we are deducted 180 rupees". But i got massage from airtel network that is "you have used 10 mb data from your main account". Why they are deducting 180rs for 10mb data. Airtel has providing bad service to the customers.

                  Hi,

                  It was really sad to feel cheated with the worst ever services from airtel. I bought an airtel secure plan in the month for my vivo handset.

                  I had been handling my phone with utmost care all these days, the condition of the phone would justify it. It is still has same new finish. However, i was never aware that stating explanation "that the phone fell onto the bed" would classify as improper handling of of phone. To my dismay i heard that my claim has been rejected due to the same. What a rubbish statement ever...

                  The team didn't even bother to collect my phone and verify if the same had been improperly handled. The photographs just showed the screen being damaged, though not physically. Further i was asked by the airtel team to mention "how" the phone was damaged and not the story of the phone getting damaged with the external factors that lead to the situation.in an effort to not drop the phone onto the floor i had pushed it on to the bed nearby when one of my neighbor's kid bumped into me at home. But the team was not even ready to listen to my story. They just cited that they would read only what was mentioned in the description.

                  I hope my concern is looked into.

                  Hoping to hear from you soon.

                    Now a days airtel started to activate add-on service for additional money from customers without permission of customer to generate extra revenue.

                    Airtel has activated bhaktisagarportrait for 20 rs... Suddenly sms came and balance deducted.

                    What the hell...

                    I don't want to continue bakwas charging company.

                    Deducting money by auto activating service...
                    Robotic customer care very poor... Very hard to reach customer care guy.. Pre programmed robotic voice advisor waste your time and ends call. Then says you have reached maxium limit. What the #..

                    Waste hai airtel... Jio is best.

                        I would like bring your kind notice the bad customer experience which i have been through the customer journey over the last one year

                        When i asked for a basic plan from airtel which i soley intend to use for otp i was given a 199 plan for which gives a bill of over 500 inr for one year and over.
                        After finding out from my colleagues in uk i found out that i should take a roaming free plan where i will not be charged a huge rental
                        Now after sending 20 email when i finally tell them to find out a free roaming plan they told me that they will be putting a 149 plan
                        They have now activated 499 family pack plan on my mobile. I am not going to pay this amount
                        Kindly take corrective action at the earliest

                          I went to airtel store today at
                          Krishna kovil, vadasery nagercoil
                          Kanyakumari district.
                          Tamilnadu

                          When asked for a new sim they charged me near 556 rupees plus 100 rupees for aadhar linking and sim card. I said to recharge for minimum possible rupees. They said if your are interested buy it or get out of the showroom in a very bad way. They employees are so rude and and treated us so badly.

                          For the past 12 years or more our family members have been using airtel. Seeing this response from airtel i have decided to quit airtel service for my family members.

                          Many such incidents have happened in the past at the same showroom where even elders have been treated badly.

                          I request you to take immediate action as airtel has a good reputation and such showrooms are spoiling it.

                            Today i went to switch my number from my existing operator to airtel. But your customer executive mis-sold your post paid product to me where as i was asking for prepaid service only. I am yet to open the sim card. Kindly resolve the issue. I have already sent an email to the customer care service but yet to receive any response.
                            My mobile number is mentioned below:

                                I have four mobile connections of airtel having data plans of 1.4gb daily.
                                I have paid 499₹ for each.
                                But my connection is not working. Same problem is facing by all airtel users in udaipur area.
                                My connection is 4g data pack. And it's cheating by the company.
                                Mobile company airtel is doing big fraud with the consumers. Trai should take cognegence of this.
                                Thanks you.

                                  Issue with airtel network. Per month charges as per 4g service is 825 including tax. But, always the signal is either 3g or 2g.

                                  While buying the sim sales person from airtel confirmed 4g network reception in my area. Which is not the case.

                                  Being charged same amount inspite of lesser that promised performance.

                                  Desirable resolution is to charge as per performance and refund of excess amount paid so far during downtime of airtel network.

                                    Id-[protected] - the set up box was replaced about a week back and since then i have not been able to see any program. A note comes that the set up box has to be activated and i should call the customer care number. I have called the customer care atleast 10 times since the last week and till date no action has been taken. I have also made a complaint to the nodal officer but still the tv is blank.
