      Hi team,
      For my airtel hotspot 4g device i tried to made payment through my sbi online banking. The payment was successful on sbi page but while redirecting to your airtel.in website the session was expired. My account had been debited for rs 999 on 16th sep 2018. I have confirmed with sbi twice and they told me that merchant confirmed them a successful transaction. Kindly initiate my refund asap.

      Payment reference num: [protected]igaejgijb3

      I have already sent multiple emails to the nodal office delhi but no one is taking this case seriously.
      They asked me for the bank statement. I have already provided that even though did not get any response back.

      Kindly take action.

                To Airtel Company,

                Here by this mail, I would like to apprise you with few realistic facts that your valued old customers are facing, today while customers are having ample options from various service providers and numerous luring offers from other telecom companies, we have always decided to stay with oldest well known company “Airtel”. The real problem starts like this : from last almost 7-8 months we started facing issues related to signal and connectivity, majorly call drops and time again we called customer care department and informed them about our issues . Many times our problems get solved but connectivity issues was always a problem . One of our old complaint was not closed even after months passed (January, 2018 onwards and still unresolved).

                Finally after various complaints last week my wife’s phone, started showing “no service” and she called up customer care, nothing happened . On 20.09.2018, I was on tour and unable to contact my family so I called up customer care myself and registered complaint for my wife’s number, the executive explained that “micro sim” is no longer working and we have to change it . Important to note here we were never provided any complaints number nor any message came for complaints we registered many times (5-6 months ).

                On 24.09.2018 besides busy, I visited many company’s outlets and surprised to see, none of the outlet seems serious in attending customers . I visited Nangal Raya center at 2.45 pm they told me to come after 45 minutes as they were having lunch that time . I then visited Masoodpur, Vasant Kunj branch where I was told that I can’t get the micro sim as my wife has to be present there ( I was carrying adhaar and other proofs ) . My wife and son is suffering from fever ( 102-103 C) unable to come I told them and they refused, I callled up customer care at 5.00 Pm and some Mr.Sohail picked up with whom I discussed the issues and my problem, he assured that by 7.00 Pm I will get sim delivered at home . I was really happy to hear this and was thinking that Airtel value old customers and Going to help me out . He even gave me lead numbers : [protected].

                I waited but no message or person came to deliever the sim, finally I again called customer care ( you have to try various complicated options to speak to executives ) and this time wish to speak to some senior so my problem get resolved, after waiting for 25 minutes I was told that senior person named “Mr. Promod Kumar” will be online, finally Mr.Promod came on, one and resolved all my issues (8 months old ) by suggesting me to port out of Airtel . He seems angry, he was unkind and bit harsh . He refused about any option of sim card being delivered at home . I was totally shocked and again asked him if there is any possibility of sim if can be delivered at home as my wife is unwell he bluntly said NO .

                My 15 years of association with Airtel, my so called status of “old and sincere customer” status ( in my mind only ) all came to and end .

                Today I then requested for port to TRAI, thinking who’s fault is it ? Should we have people like Mr.Promod Kumar on such senior position . His mere few kind words, his few extra step ( Delievering of micro sim at home if he understood my family was ill ) could have forced me to stay with Airtel .

                This just could be one story for all of you, a customer with just 2 connection today you may lose . Believe me like me many are there who are not happy with Airtel anymore . Numbers then could be in million - “it’s not competitor who is strong, it is we who are weak”.

                      With utmost grief i want to bring it to the notice that on 15.09.18 i called up the customer care of airtel dth in order to remove my sony hd top up.
                      after i spoke to the customer care executive and told him to remove the top up i was astonished to see that not only my sony hd top up but almost all my channels were stopped by your executive. since the call was still on i told him about it but instead of looking into the problem he disconnected the call.

                      On the same day i again made a complaint with the customer care executive by again dialling the number and after a lot of reluctance i was connected to a technical team and when i told them about the problem they assured me that within 48 hours things will be resolved and all my channels will be restored.
                      again i made similar complaints on 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. But instead of listening or resolving my problem they closed my complaints. In between i even got a call from airtel and was again told that in 24 hours the problem will be resolved but to no avail.

                      i requested that if the problem is not being resolved kindly give me back my money to this also they are not paying any heeds too.

                      I request that either my problem be resolved and my channels be restored and if not my money be refunded wef 15.09.18 so that i can move on to some other operator.

                            Am surprised to note that mygames service has been activated on my mob no [protected] without me asking for it. Rs. 35 are being deducted every 7 days.

                              Incorrect bill of 228 rs was charges for mobile no. [protected].

                              I have converted my postpaid number to prepaid number by clearing all the dues. But still after a month my bank account is been deducted with rs 228 for postpaid bill.

                              I have converted my postpaid number to prepaid number on 11th aug by paying all the dues for period 11th july to 10 aug.
                              But now my bank account was debited for 228 rs without sending me any sort of bill.

                              This is just not acceptable. Without any proper bill or intimation you can't debit the amount.

                                  Airtel dth deduction rs 20 fine without notification. When i called the customer service they said it is company policy and disconnected the phone.

                                  They have been doing that every month for the few years. This money is getting deducted without notification.

                                  I need a refund for all these years. This is unfair deduction as it is a prepaid service and it should not have a late fine.

                                    Hi on 5th sep 2018 i have done an international roaming recharge of my number [protected] for rs.2449 - order id - [protected] as i was travelling to dubai. Once in dubai, neither incoming or outgoing was working and after various attempts to make it work, i had to do other top ups on the next day for the calls to go through. I want refund of my recharge of 2449 as it did not work. Airtel cutomer care is saying u should have called us from dubai, now we cant do anything. Since i did not avail the service for which i paid, i should be refunded my amount.

I got my sim ported into airtel on 21/09/2018 with rs 499 infinity family plan and since then i am trying to get subscribed into airtel secure on my samsung note 8. On clicking the "subscribe now" option on airtel secure banner (On home of my airtel app), it always gives the error "something seems to have gone wrong" and a "try again" button appears. But i cant find any success. I have even tried to contact 198 but even they are helpless. I have attached some screenshots below. Please do the concerned.
