    Website: Am complaining about dishonest practices being followed by Airtel

    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. Have already lost rs. 105. You are requested to deactivate this service as also recredit the amount debited discreetly oin account of service which was not asked for, failing which formal complaint for disrobing the customers by activating services which were neither asked for or activated by me.

      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.

                My name is ritvik. 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.

                  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:

                  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:

                  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??

                            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.

                            airtel is getting worst day by day.

                              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!!
