Firstly, airtel cheated me saying the fastest network so i got the postpaid connection ([protected]) but soon i started experiencing bad service where i am not even getting 2g network. (Note: i took connection for monthly basis rs 649/- use to pay every month 12th) i used till may and paid the bill on june 12th.
Since i was getting poor connection (Not even the home page of any url was opening) i called customer care and updated this issue and they said within 7-days airtel is going to resolve the network issue (Ticket number:[protected] which they didn't do even after 3 months, in this time whenever i called to customer care they use to say within next 4-5days we are going to resolve the issue and without my knowledge they changed my plan for advance rental (Where i need to pay some 3000+ rupees and use the service for next one year free) i asked them about this but they don't have any answer. Since the service was very bad and i took internet service from other vendor i asked them to close the connection but now these airtel is asking me to pay 3k+ amount to close the connection (Note: this is advance rental plan).

Here is my question is:
1. How they changed my postpaid plan without my knowledge and why didn't they changed it even after i asked them to change it to monthly plan which was there earlier?
2. Why i need to pay the advance rental plan for the poor service which i want to close (I paid may month bill which i used and raised an issue about network issue which they failed to resolve)?
3. Why should one pay advance which they don't want to use?
4. Why airtel cheated me saying india's fastest network where i am not getting 2g netork that to in bangalore city?

Please take this as serious concern as airtel people are calling and asking me to pay the bill its kind of mental torcher.

Thanks,
Karthik

    My number was a telenor number. After the merge of companies, it turned as an airtel number. Now, i am not able to receive the calls. Response says number does not exist. People have been complaining that it is taking atleast 4 to 5 attempts for the call to get connected. I called the customer care and got a response that there is no issue from the company's side.
    Even the internet is very slow. Please resolve the issue asap. I am in two minds about going for a port to some better network. I have been facing this issue for more than a month now

        There is something called Desibeats services from Airtel which activates automatically and has been cutting Rs.15 per 3 days without my permission. Three days back i had known about this and had stopped this service but then again they activated automatically and cut the given amount.

          My prepaid balance of rs.20 has been deducted (11:57 pm, sept. 4, 2018). Says it's been charged for valuepack. But the thing is that i didn't do that and didn't opt to use any of the value added services.

          My mobile no. Is +91 [protected]. (North east circle). I did my recharge of rs. 30 at around 07:43:40 am today (Sept. 4, 2018)

          Everybody makes mistakes, it's okay if it's a mistake. So, all i want and also my humble request is to refund the deducted amount, if possible at the earliest.

          Waiting for your valuable help, thank you.

                Your network is very bad. I am a coustomer of airtel from starting but now your network become very poor. I suggest you to give more service by lessing your profit margin. I request you give some service in your area

                  We are experiencing zero network at our work place due which our clients are affected and due to which there is no connectivity in the area.
                  This being the reason many clients have turned back and even i have dropped the plan to but new postpaid connection of airtel.
                  I feel if this case is solved then there will be no problem of connection.
                  I strongly believe that airtel would solve this problem.!!

                    I stay at meenakshi layout (Next to kidzee), kalena agrahara, bannerghatta road, bangalore. I have requested for a broadband connection with airtel and have often denied connection saying siting technical issue. To my surprise, this is just an issue for me while a lot of other houses and an apartment very close to my house have no problem getting connected.
                    Upon a little more probing, i am told that there is a local service provider who cuts the cable off and does not allow outsiders to provide services to our area. I am willing to lodge a complaint with the nearby police station provided i get support from airtel. Also, if this is a technical issue, i don't think the neighbouring houses should get the connection as well, but they do.
                    Please ook into the matter and let me know if there is something i can do to get the connection from airtel.
                    My phone number: [protected]
                    Last time the connection was declined was in the month of july 2018.

                      Sir,
                      With reference to the complaint number mentioned in the subject line of this message, no further action appears to have been taken in this regard.

                      I am writing on behalf of my father who is currently resident with me and we are yet to be contacted by the airtel representatives despite this complaint having been filed on july 9, 2018.

                      Usually, on receipt of an oral complaint, airtel is known to take action immediately to resolve the issue within 24 hours. However, this time they have not even contacted the number.

                      My father's phone number is: [protected].

                      We request immediate action in this regard as the number given is vital for all our communication needs.

                      Best regards,

It was working fine and its charges were paid in time all through. The sim is alright and is working with another simple airtel dongal. Since the device is not working, i am not being able to use 4g and wifi. This4g hotspot device may be changed.

                              I've been using airtel for over 2 years, i bought a 4g phone recently and for some days 4g network was consistent and internet speed was great. But now it just loses network in 5 mins and comes back.. Which is why i cannot use internet in a proper manner and am absolutely fed up of this and its frustrating.
                              Solve this or i might port to some other service provider.

                                Rs. 35 has been deducted from my balance saying fitonza service has been activated on dated 08th aug 2018 without any previous notice. But i didn’t activate anything. It is unfair to activate services without the knowledge of the concerned person.

                                I stopped the service dated 10th aug 2018 to avoid the renewal of the service.

                                  Myself komal makwana. Airtel representative mr viren patel came to provide me new connection. By mistake he got 30, 003 rs from on 16th aug 2018 and he told me that he will make refund within 15 days. His madam ms. Ekta also told me for refund. But still this moment they aren't responding me. People should be responsible to reply their customers. They are avoiding me.
                                  Pls give me refund as soon as possible.
