Dear sir/madam

In my airtel bill for the period: 05-jul-2018 to 04-aug-2018 mobile no: [protected], bill no.[protected] it was showing that i hd sent some international sms to the number: [protected], 7 times. Details below:

28/jul/2018 16:00:52 [protected]

When i complained the service provider about the said problem that i haven't sent any text to the abovesaid no. Service provider waived off the overcharge and solved the query bt next month again in my airtel bill for the period: 05-aug-2018 to 04-sep-2018 same mobile no. Bill no.[protected] it was showing that i hd sent some international sms to the same number i. E.[protected], 2 times details below:

25/aug/2018 17:12:58 [protected]
28/jul/2018 19:11:38 [protected]

And again i hadn't sent any sms to that number and had no idea about that number. When i checked online the same number found for fraund in vodafne and airtel for many times. I guess its a very big type of fraud from the telecom companies. They are charging lacs of rupees from many customers mentioning that "u hv sent a text to that international number" and charging for that 5rs per sms. I want to know that what the hell is this going on... Ye log customers ko aise pagal banate ja rahe hain aur log pagal bante ja rahe h and the reason is lack of time.. All are busy in their profession/business and duty... Aur usi ka benefit le rahe h ye mobile phone service providers... I just want to know that when will these types of fraud stop??? And also i want to know what is the penalty of airtel company for this crime??
Waiting for response

    Dear airtel
    I filed a complaint postpaid number ([protected]) on september 8,
    No solution yet,
    That is why i want to leave airtel because i have
    A great offer in vodafone,

    That's why i called airtel customer
    My phone transferred to senior exit y. They told me a plan
    Plan was 348 in which i was getting a discount for hundred rupee (248plan) 30gb data free & unlimited calling free d hundred messages free i asked to get the plan activated but due to a technical problem they asked me to call after four to five hours when i called on the second day, i was told that it will take 48 hours
    I hope my problem will end soon

    Please end the problem as soon as possible,

    Or else let me close the number.

            I am not able to make or take calls via mh airtel sim as whenever i call someone after few rings the network goes off or slighty depletes to zero and the call gets ended. Same happens when i take calls.
            I am facing this issue since a month or two now. And now i am facing internet issues too. I used to get nearly 2.5-3 mbps downloading speed which has gone down to 300-400 kbps along with this calling issue. I am not even able to make calls and use my internet properly which i paid for. Airtel's services are worsening day by day.

              Address: 560049

              I am not grtting the 4g network (Pin code area 560049) the company has promised, in my area. There is a tower nearby. Even then this is the case. I complained to their customer care several times. But they are not taking it seriously. They are saying the issue is fixed. I am getting good coverage in my home balcony but not at all inside my house. Should i need to be in balcony always??
              I am not getting what the airtel girl promises in her ads. So pls consider this complaint seriously and make them correct this issue as soon as possible

              Nobody has contacted till now to address this problem. I am losing my money just because of their ignorance. Airtel customer care used to say the range in my area is OK. There is no problem etc. but they should visit my home and see whats going on.

              Please see the screenshot which I captured from Airtel site regarding the range graph. I have marked my area in red.There is a tower nearby. Even then the coverage is marked as Good instead of Excellent . I really wonder about this. Surely there is some technical issue. Please resolve the issue as soon as possible. I am even thinking of changing the data provider is this goes on.

                  The sim was first bought in bhubaneswar as a reliance gsm number and then changed to airtel in west bengal circle. The number was working all right for past years since conversion. But apparently i am facing problems recharging it. Tried all the online portal like google pay, amazon pay, freecharge, airtel app, but to no avail. I am unable to receive calls but everything else like internet works and i am also receiving messages about the number i have been contacted from. Please resolve.

                    I bought a new 4g mobile on 7th september. Realme 2. I inserted my sim on next day and call 51111 to avail free data offer. Then i got a message from them that i'm not able to avail the offer. Because my phone is 1 month old. How it is possible? Realme 2 release on 28th august and i bought on 7th of next month. So i called customer care. They told me one of the experience man will call me within 3 days to solve the problem. But they didn't. Today i call them again and now they told me your phone is 15 days old. So you can't able this offer. Again they have taken another 3 hour which is over.
                    So this is how i'm struggling. They didn't bother my problem. When they are promised that they will get back to me, why they didn't.
                    Can anyone help me?

                        I've got a weird message regarding some international roaming charge and also specifying that an amount of rs.99 will be thus deducted from my account. I have no idea what this is all about because i have not accessed any such service. Kindly look into this matter and provide me with the details as soon as possible as i am a bit concerned about this. Thanks!!

                          Airtel number [protected] disconnected since 15th of september, and i got no intimation regarding this. Why it has been deactivated or why disconnected? No sms was sent by customer care on the number before deactivating even, such pathetic service by airtel bharti. I am using airtel for so many years but all these sorts of issues makes me think twice. A company which does not even feel the need to contact subscribers via a simple sms before deactivating or disconnecting entire connection, is not at all reliable.

                            My no is [protected], i've recently ported my no to airtel. I've visited airtel store for this porting and airtel store staff told you must activate some plan for first recharge after port. They said some plans and i selected lowest plan based on their info.

                            They collected 260rs (1.4gb per day for 28 days) for the plan and they said it will be activated after porting process completed.

                            But after porting my no didn't activated for that plan.

                            Please do the needfull

                              Hello,

                              I'm writing this email to let you know that my compliant is being addressed as a network issue.

                              I never complained about the network coverage. My actual complaint was, my incoming and outgoing services were stopped even though the bill was paid.

                              Please look in to this issue as soon as possible. I need some assurance that i don't get such emails again.

                              Regards,
                              Radhika

                                    My balance got deducted unknowingly and later I found out this message "Thanks for using PrimeZone. You have been charged Rs 20.0 from your Airtel Mobile account.For more services, call 56789". So on 09/09/2018 ₹20 got deducted in my main balance without my knowledge. I want Airtel to refund my money as I didn't activate the service.

                                      Hello, i'm using your network. I have recharged 2 times for amounting to inr.449 each through online on 16th sep’2018. Both the transactions failed but the amount has been deducted from my bank a/c. Till date it has not credited back to my account. Once the transaction is failed you have to proper steps to refund that amount. 5 days got over till now and i'm not sure what steps you've taken so far. You cannot expect the customer has to raise a query to you asking refund. Waste of my time and your time. Try to be a customer friendly. Please refund the amount.
