    Icon service (I have no idea what it is) got activated a few months back on my number without any information and rs 76 deducted automatically per month. I do not need this service. I call airtel customer care to deactivate this service and reimburse my money but they refuse to reimburse the same and claimed that i had activated this service but i really don't have any idea about this i just came to know when i checked my balance is getting low too fast and then i check my messages for the same. The service is deactivate now but my money not got back.

    Kindly reimburse my money.

    Message which i got says "icon is active on your airtel mobile. You have been charged rs 76 for 30 days. To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223"

    Hoping for my problem will get resolved soon...

      Airtel — airtel tv app

      I have port my number from voda

      I am already a airtel customer but as per the airtel tv app it says that to use the feautres of the app you need to switch to airtel.

      I have already written to airtel team and no response has come from their side.

      This is how you treat your customers. Shame on airtel.

      No one is ready to help also. I tried calling them several times everyone is giving different options and no one is actually helping out.

      They cheat on users dooling them that the plan would give u free access of everything but here i am not able to use any such facility.

      Niether i am able to use the amazon prime that comes free with airtel.

      Only hotstar is working.

        Rs.40 was charged without my acknowledge and consent, and whenever i tried to talk to customer care agent, it says "this number does not exist"
        Wtf!!
        I am changing my network and i'll suggest every airtel user to do the same.
        The mail says, "short complaints hardly resolves"... Hahaha. Let me tell you buddy, none of our complaints are ever going to be resolve.
        Airtel has been the worst of all will always be, my only task is to tell everyone about airtel and how they they implement their cheap tricks to earn money.

            Since over a year in follow-up with airtel for improving and started 4g network in our circle of bihar (Siwan city) but there is no response from there and they ignoring on regularly basis and no proper response on mail nor on call. They alredy started recharge plans in promising for proving more than 20 mbps 4g speed and best calling network. I have long trail mail with airtel team, mr. Gopal vittal as well as escalation marked to trai also.

            I really surprised and depressed because i'm using airtel service from almost 10 years+ and i don't know why they are irresponsible. They harrased me and i loosing my work in follow-up with them.

              Airtel deducted rs. 35 all of a sudden for namkeen pack. This is similar to at&t scam of “my love crush.com” in usa, where they tagged $10 to all family pack customers (Google for details). After a lawsuit, at&t paid millions of dollars back to the customers.in india we need to find a way to file lawsuit against airtel and get our money back.

              Airtel is in money crunch. So they are using his fraudulent means to boost their cash flow.

                My mobile no [protected], prepaid recharge for rs.179/-, which will expire today ie, 12 oct 2018.
                With effect from 11 oct 2018, 6pm unlimited outgoing calls not rpt not connected with a remarks "unable to connect".

                My point is that, before completion of date, always every time outgoing calls have been stopped, thus the reasons the respective customer like me, wants to change port due to bad services of airtel on urgent basis.

                I haven't used bhakti Sagar potrait service or prime zone service but RS 20 each was deducted from my balance, I went that money back

                    Whatsmob service automatically started on my phone. Till now about 245 rupees have been deducted from my balance due to this service without me even starting it. This is unjustified on the part of airtel. How can someone cut off money from your balance by starting a service automatically... So i request you to kindly solve this problem as soon as possible..

                        I tried doing a recharge which didn’t happen so i called up the customer care and was told that i will get the refund in 7 days for the balance deduction from my bank account as the recharge is unsuccessful so i processed another recharge which got successful. Few minutes later i got a message saying my previous recharge is also successful. Now i am asking for a refund but customer care is saying there is no such policy. Request you to please revert with a solution.

                          I have an airtel 4g dongle and is in use for the last couple of years atleast. Since may or june of this year, we started to face issues with regards to connectivity and speed. The connection would be slow or intermittent and would not work in many places in my house. We requested tech support and the tech engineer confirmed that we have a serious network issue and that he would get this rectified and this was sometime in august. Until now, there has been solution and the issue persists.
                          Since there was no action from the airtel team, i decided not to pay for something that would not work and kept 2 months bill pending.
                          Now here is the real issue and shows how bad a company can behave. Everyday i get about 7 to 8 calls reminding me of the payment from ivr. Additionally a couple of calls from collection agents, these agents do not dig the issue or see the customer's issue all they want is bill to be paid and each one behaves like they have given me some money and they want it returned immediately. When i called customer support, they have no clue of whats happening and they only say "we will get back to you". This is a total pathetic way of handling a client query. I'm not sure how airtel commits to faster connectivity and superior client support. I need my connectivity issue sorted, if they need my business. Else i would like surrender the connection and call it a day with bad service.

                                Hi,

                                My name is gvsnraju.. I will go china tomorrow. Recently i activated pack from airtel app..in this showing "for covered countries".. But not correctly showing full details of pack.. Unfortunately i paid pack.. But this pack not working china. I asked customer support, they said we didn't give back and not transfer another pack.. This is terrible. Not respond properly..

                                Before i called customercare but not give proper information of anything, waste of time..

                                  Airtel make 10 to 15 call daily from there ivr or execute for payment reminder even if there is a daily for 1 day. It has pathetic network now. These calls are so irritating. Back to back calls if you don't answer them. I never missed on the payments. I have paid the payment every month. But still they irritate there customer like calling now and then. I have added my number to dnd but still i get calls from airtel numerous.

                                    My airtel sim had stopped working suddenly, there is no signal in my phone but other airtel user in my place are getting signals in their phone. My sim is from Uttarakhand state and iam in Andra Pradesh but it was working normally for past month. I tried rebooting my phone and changing sim slots but nothing is working. Its been three days now. I can't contact any costumer care service so this is my last option.
