I have received the following sms tonight from my service provider airtel, stating - "thanks for using gamesworldpocket. You have been charged rs 20.0 from your airtel mobile account. For more services, call 56789"

Though i never subscribe to this service. Even i did not hear about the service before. Then why did they deduct 20 rupees without letting me know?

Kindly stop the service and do not cheat people like this way. I want immediate refund of the deducted amount. Kindly look into the matter urgently.

    My incoming and outgoing calls got barred from airtel. They said you need to submit documents. I went to submit documents but they didn't take it instead of that they provided a duplicate sim card with my aadhar details. They said it will be activated within 4 hrs but even after repeated calling customer care it took 8 - 10hrs to get activated. Reason given servers not working. Then again after a day incoming calls got barred without any reason. Customer care told to go to the nearest branch and it got resolved. After 3-4 hrs again it stopped working and the reason was given that it is deactivated because of nonusage. I am using this sim daily for 7 years. This is ridiculous. And now they are telling to go to again to airtel branch.

    Went to customer care. They gave me a sim and told 3 days to activate. 3days to activate an already working sim. Called customer care and they told no other option. Refused to connect my call to manager saying not available. Thinking of porting my number to another subscriber. Worthless service.

        Hello, i'm using your network for the last 5 years. I have recharged amounting to inr.199 through my airtel app today. The transaction was failed but the amount has been deducted from my bank a/c twice. Once the transaction is failed you have to proper steps to refund that amount. 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.

            Have changed my settop box 6 months back and from there on my dth goes to intialising set up. Airtel customer care will take their own time, so many follow ups to be made. We wait for a week at least to set right, this irritates a lot. How to come out. I have asked them to disconnect the service, I have paid yearly subscription they said the remaining amount will not be refunded.

                I have recharged for an amount Rd. 31 two times for making use calls. Please see the attachment for taxn. number. But after every recharge by balance has been shown nil. That means I have no technical faults regarding recharge as SMSs showed acknowledgements. Please help me get my rupees returned as early as possible from the thugs. I tried to lodge complaints with the service provider but in vain as they not only diverted me through automatic voice instructions but also did not bother to contact me.

                  I strongly believe that my mobile number is being tapped since a few months. I could come to such conclusion from the incidents i had to face during this period. A person named srikanth is tapping my mobile number with the help o[censored]nknown forces. I request you to kindly find out the tapping mechanism these people are utilizing so that i could complain on the issue to the law enforcing authorities with suffiient proofs.

                        Dear sir
                        I have filed a complaint but no complaint has been filed on my complaint so far. I have requested many times to your customer care center and in this regard, i have mailed your nodal officer chief executive officer manager several times. The phone comes from their side but they also talk to me just waiting for my complaint, but no one takes special care of my complaint. Education is every time i come to the phone and that i speak to wait 48 hours to 72 hours and a second phone is, but they do not have any return phone
                        I have given the company a lot of time but the company is not ready to help me, i am giving the company roy but he is not paying attention to it. He is sitting with the same thing that the tower will be in your area our network team is working on that
                        When the company is installing the tower then what the network team is working, i have not been told today, i have waited a lot now, now i will have to seek the court
                        Now, do not talk to the company anymore.

                          Hi!! I was airtel broadband user. Due to transfer, i shifted my house. I forgot to pay the bill for the month of feb and march. Then, they keep on torturing me and i paid the bill for those two months. But they are asking to pay the bill for "april - september". I shifted my house. No usage. I dont know about the process of cancellation. I thought if i dont pay the bill they will cancel the connection. They are cheating. One of their customer manager also agreed and asked me to pay 2500 and the rest of amount will get cancel. They also torturing by calling and threatning for legal complaint. So kindly fix my problem..

                            Today i see my plan changed without my consent from my cug175 plan. I had received a sms stating (Which is attached) your plan will be changed. I called up customer care and asked the same, where i was assure a call back upon checking the same. I did not get any call back updating the same and i called up customer care after a week and spoke to the supervisor and she assured me stating without your confirmation the plan will not be changed. I asked her to mention the same the request number.

                            Today morning i see the plan is being changed and i called up the customer care and when asked i was told that she cannot do anything now as the plan has already has changed. I mentioned that i have asked not to change the plan without my consent before and how can the change happen.

                            The supervisor was not ready to even give me a complaint number for reference of the complaint.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                            I got a sms from airtel stating that we have deducted rs 20 from your balance for using airtel prime zone where as I have not subscribed any such service.

                              I feel cursed now using your dvr recorder box. I faced the recording issue problem in earlier and after a month of 100s calls and email it got resolved.

                              Now same thing is happening (Oct 2018) my dvr recorder box is not working (Not recording) for last one month and even after paying 750 the new box worked only 10 days.

                              Do you really have any sla around providing right service too people or your team ears only move when people loose patience and go public about issue on social media.

                              Please resolve my problem at your earliest as its been already 25 days into the issue.

                                    Hi,

                                    I am using an airtel prepaid service since 11 years, before 2 weeks suddenly my airtel sim got deactivated, i had visited to the airtel outlet, at barrackpore, north 24 parganas. I had clear the whole story to them. After that they told me that to activate your sim you need to take a port paid connection worth 290 of postpaid bill per month and a verification that you are living in a concrete room building while i live in a common old style tiles using room top. I just need to know, how could they force me to take a post paid connection while i am having my all documents. The number i am using is my oldest one and important one but unfortunately i have to leave it. Now i believe that airtel is the biggest fraud telecom service in whole world.
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                      Hello sir/madam,

                                      The network is so bad for internet (3g/4g) and for calling. A second thing is the network is totally off/gone at the time of electricity cut off. Means the network totally depends on electricity. I don't know the nearest tower is using any options or not.

                                      The whole village is facing this issue, so on behalf of my village khanpur i am requesting to kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thanks!!
