    Many unknown services has been activating automatically in my no. And i used to stop those services by sending stop to 155223. Despite all that, after some time a new service gets activated automatically and again balance deduction. Recently one more service has been activated automatically and i haven't deactivated it. I want full refund of all those services which are activated automatically and make sure that these services don't activate in future.

      Hey,
      This is to inform you that i am a loyal customer with the airtel from past 6 years. On 11th october 2018 evening, my number automatically went on to no service mode. After contacting airtel multiple times on customer care and in store, they are saying that my number was not on network ever. I 've this number with banks and multiple social media accounts. Also, i am loosing my business as i am not able to contact people and people are not able to reach out to me. Everyone in the network have same number. My number is [protected]. Airtel says they dont have my number on record. Check my adhaar card details. I got this number linked last year. No one is listening to me. Please help me. I dont know where to contact. If you want to reach out to me, please contact at my dad's number [protected]. Please help. I am attaching the image of the last recharge. They say i wasnt their customer. I visited the sector 15 and sector 32 store in chandigarh.

        Pathetic connectivity, be it voice or data. Ads claim to have 4g connectivity even in the remotest of the places, however even in cp which the heart of the capital (Delhi), the connectivity is ‘zero’. I would rate in ‘negative’ if the same was available on the rating scale. *pathetic* network!! Airtel - please stop focusing on advertisements and focus on your core functionality for which you are in the market. For me, as a customer - my experience is ‘poor’.

          I am 65 year old pensioner and using airtel mobile number (I. E [protected]) from past 15 days but last 2 or 3 weeks company imposing value added services at me without taking my consent and regularly deducting my account balance. It is not the first time that the company did this to me it's been done by the company regular basis. It's my request to kindly look into this matter and get me refund my amount which was deducted from my account.
          Also make sure this practice may not perform in future again.

            I have opted for rs. 499 postpaid plan and in the first month the bill is at around rs 500, but from second month onwards they are increasing the billing amount every month without any clarification and it had reached at rs.900. Most of the time i use wi fi connection and hardly use my mobile data.
            I need to know how they calculate the billing amount and my detailed transactions history including everything.
            And in case if there is something illegal going on there should be very strict action related to resolving customer complaints, their loss and punishing the culprit.

                Today[protected] i have recharged r100 which was mentioned in airtel app as fun talk time where as after recharge i have received only r81.76 balance.
                This looks to me as kind of cheating practice. Being a reputed service provider how are suppose to cheat customers.

                      Actually i am working in aborad so i using number as a post paid plan, actually i put my plan as rs.199+ international roaming pack-rs.149. But last month suddenly airtel provider change my plan from 199 to 299 without any inform. Suddenly i noticed in service provider application (Airtel my app). After that i complaint that told they are withdraw the plan rs.199 plan so they changed my plan to rs.299. But withot my knowledge how they changing.

                      Image. Png
                      Compliant : 2

                      Actually this month (2-oct) i reached india used my internet in airtel.in my airtel app it showed 25 gb available (5 gb+20gb unused last month). But after 5 gb o[censored]sage my internet not worked. So i called customer care they told we raise compliant for your issue at 6-oct, i got next day call they told our side no issue of internet issue. But your 20 gb is available if last months that one is not updated so you call again airtel customer care and ask about your last month roll-over data's, so i again called and asked customer care they told roll-over data not possible to use because of your plan up graded 199 to 299.in that case not possible to use my data they need to give some reduction in my bill or atleast provide some data not happened that and they told i[censored] need internet data u need to upgrade 399 plan so u can get 20gb. I argued my unused 20gb and finally upgraded my plan 399. Because of emergency of internet. They told with in 30min u get internet. But happened another same internet not worked.

                      First compliant mail feedback.
                      Image. Png
                      So again called next day they told i consumed all my data's. But previous day i tried i not got data so i used wifi data.

                      So again complaint they give complaint number and told within 20hrs it will solved but without the issue solved they closed my complaints.

                      So again i called customer care and told all the issues they raised again complained and told today[protected] evening u get internet before 6pm. But not happened. But i got msg your complaint is solved and closed.
                      Image. Png

                      I got very much angry because of i am stayed 10 days in india but only 3 days i used data. After that not able to used and only raised complaint and they are only closed without solved.

                      So that i used another service provider data for nest days[protected] and i leaved india on[protected].

                      I checked before leaving india (At airport i checked) but not got. Its very embarrassing about their service and customer support.

                      Kindly please take action against this issue and provide some good response for me.

                            My 4g postaid airtel dongle number is [protected]. My airtel 4g dongle wifi not working for last 2 weeks. Raised at least 7 complaints but no use. Their useless customercare is saying that they are not able to access my profile data. I have escalated this issue to their supervisor. They told me that they created a service request which will be closed by 10hrs but after 24 hrs also nobody contacted me and issue is still not resolved.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                I m a non airtel user i linked my sbi for airtel upi transaction. But during a transaction of 5000. Suddenly transaction failed but the money is being deducted. I contact with my bank they told there is a successful transaction of 5000. Its been 2 days i didn't get my money back. Transaction was done on 11th oct. That was a airtel to airtel upi transaction. That was between [protected]@airtel to [protected]@airtel. I want sudden action regarding this as its a matter of 5000 rupees. I want the money be refunded back to my account or to sent to the receiver bank.

                                  This is about the pathetic network provided by the airtel service provider. They should know that not always throwing free data works, but they also need to look at the basic needs, that's calling facility. It has been almost 5 days from now that i am facing this issue. My network bar shows full, in fact the data connection shows 4g written, but still i was not getting any incomming calls. I tried to restart my handset, and did all basic troubleshooting steps, but still the issue never got sorted. I thought it must be my phone so i switched to other phone, but still same issue and the person calling me used to get my number switched off. This is really pathetic that inspite of paying bills on time with a highly charging plan, still what we get is such # service from such multi million company.

                                  I did call up the customer care in order to raise a complain, but all in vain. Initially the cx care reps hangup on me stating you need to callback later. When called later, they took down a complaint. But like everytime, even this time it definately would not do anything good. The level of frustration that i am going through is seriously high because i have to work from home and need hotspot data to connect my laptop, so basically now my work is stopped due to such services and continues issues by airtel.

                                    Sir. Ay-airsep has been sending sms on my mobile no. [protected] that "games world services" have been activated on my mobile and deducting rs.35/-per week from my balance. It is troubling me through nos. 155223, 1552230, 56789 and 1909. If i send return sms to stop the unwanted services, it gives other options, as to out of various services which one i want to stop. This way ay-airsep, on every cost forcefully cuts money from my balance. Such tactice is a criminal act. Kindly manage to stop such dirty ways to cheat me and to put me in financial loss.
                                    Regards,

                                    Sir, Around 8:20 PM today, I got a call from Mobile No.[protected]. The caller in male voice was inquiring about my Bank Number and Card Number giving reference to my aforesaid complaint to transfer Rs.100/= as a compensation. He was talking on behalf of Airtel customer care representative. Will you please inquire whether he is Airtel representative or another cheater. He said "Since you made complaint on Line, the compensation will be transferred directly to your Bank Account". When I didnot tell him the account no, he immediately cut the call. Who was calling from [protected], is the matter of investigation. Mrs Vimla Soni

                                    Sir, It seems that the Problem creater on my no. [protected] and complaint receivers of Airtel are the same persons/establishment. "AT-AIRINF & AY-AIRSEP". Today again they have started renewing the unwanted service without my request. They are doing this till such time my balance will become zero.Why Indian Consumer Complaints Forum is not competent to take action against these problem creaters who start services without consumer's request and continue deducting amount till such time, the consumer's balance becomes zero. Regards. =Mrs Vimla Soni.
