    Dear Sir

    i have taken Airtel 4G hotspot on 28th April in the no allocated [protected] under SIM card no
    scan copy of the cover attached for your reference .

    My Hotspot is not working since then but bills are generated regularly despite of our request not to generate bills. i have paid the all three bills But my Hotspot is not yest started .

    yesterday also I have visited Airtel store where i surprise to know that this Sim no is not matching with Airtel record . i would like to know the following urgently before going to escalate the matter to higher up or court .

    1. How can Airtel generate bills without its activated and used ?
    2. How can I know that Sim which is provided to me is wrong one ?
    3. who will ensure that this Sim was even used or not? since i was not used or say sim provided to me was not in working condition ?
    4. who will bear the cost / losses for not getting through the network .

    you are requested to close this with immediate effect and refund all paid bill without any further delay.

    Kindly look into it and suggest how can i process to claim my damage and harassment due to non availability of internet services despite i have paid all generated bills till now which it has not activated till now in my system.

    your immediate attention in this regard is highly appreciated to start further course of action

    regards
    Uday

      Dear Airtel,

      I have recharged my Airtel Prepaid mobile [protected] on 9th August with Unlimited 399/- using my airtel app downloaded in the mobile. The amount got deducted from my paytm account and I even have received the Airtel Order ID:[protected].

      I have called the airtel customer care several times and no executive took ownership in resolving this. All they say is the above Airtel Order ID is not reflecting in their system.

      I am so frustrated with the service and attitude shown by Airtel customer care. In view of above, I would like request you to do the needful as early as possible & oblige.

      Thanking you,
      Venkata Srikanth G

        My out going calls are barred due to bill overdue.
        But i paid all month bill on time through airtel money. One of my bill payment done through airtel money was reversed by airtel money bank and it is not created to my wallet. Because of that the bill became now overdue and out going calls barred. The bill amount i paid in the month of march-2018 but it got reversed by 30th july, 2018. I approached airtel customer care and airtel bank customer care, but i did not get proper resolutions. Now i am suffering that barred outgoing calls.

          Dear Sir/ Madam

          with due respect I like to say that I am a subscriber of airtel This Account holder Name Was Mr.Biswajit Roy and my mobile no is [protected].

          I inform you sir that Last month I used the Internet on my mobile in this number but I do not make any calls since 5th of this month because No network is showing on my mobile. So on 6th august I call Customer Care from another Airtel number.Employ asked me what is your problem? I told about my problem. He replied me that you will go to the airtel store and You have to take a duplicate SIM with 25 repees. But I asked you sir what is the problem of my airtel sim? He told me that this is technical problem. So You have to change the Airtel SIM.

          So I wanted to know that Suddenly, why did Airtel SIM stop?

          If you do not solve my problem then I will sent my complaint to the consumer forum and I am fully satisfied that airtel is a cheat company

              I have complained thrice on customer care (198), whenever I make calls on bsnl landline numbers, the call is not initiated. I have complaint thrice but the customer care is so irresponsible they are very rude they say that fault is not from our side.
              Its been 3 months my problem has not been resolved.

              Mai jab bhi koi landline number pe call karta hu tab call lagta nahi hai.
              Maine customer care par call kia toh unka ye kehna hai ki problen jald hi resolve hojayegi aur ye 3 mahine se resolve nahi hui.
              Mere fone me balance bhi hai aur fir bhi call lag nahi parhe.
              Customer care wale rukne ki kehdete
              Kehdete thode din wait kriye
              Kitna wait krega aadmi
              Apne zaroori kam rok de ky.

                I recharge my number with 448 INR but while recharge I had done a typing error due to which recharge was done on a wrong number.
                I called at customer care but they said that they are unable to do anything.
                Since I have transaction id and payment proof thus I require either refund or transfer the recharge from wrong number to right number.

When I called one of your customer care officer on his name is " PALWINDER SINGH" saying that we do not have get any request from your side. Even the person has asked too many question to verify that I am a true customer.

                    Why your company made this kind of policy that " your organization structure is only verify the customer detail but If customer ask your officer verification that this the right person of your company or not then your representative refuse that our company policy is not to share the detail with customer."

                    This is absolute ridicules policy from your company customer care officer. Who is verify on call our data on phone.

                        Suddenly on 7th aug, 2018, the airtel sim on my phone stopped working. Initially thought it might be a phone problem. Restarted phone several times, changed sim slot, tried it in another phone, tried stopping other services like wifi. All of no use.
                        All this without any intimation from airtel. I was about to receive important calls and messages on this number. Lost peace of mind due to this carelesness.

                        I would like signals on my phone be restored as soon as possible, and additionally they need to compensate for loss of peace of mind, and loss of opportunity due to missed communication during the period.

                        The network on phone is not good, many times network signal changed to H, 4g and sometimes it temporary booked .so I can't take call and surffing on internet .so kindly improve it as soon as possible
                        I was having Airtel went to Vodafone and reverting back to Airtel and 7 days have passed but number is still not activated. Vodafone has already deactivated now I am having no connection.121 is having no information.even after following up for so long phone is not getting registered.

                          I'm currently in uk. I arrived from india a few months back.. I've subscribed to airtel's 3999 ir roaming pack for uk and my phone has stopped working all of a sudden. I'm missing crucial business phone calls. My mails to airtel have gone unanswered. I'm sick and tired of this company. Please resolve asap. Not only will i not pay this subscription pack, i will take you to consumer court for loss of business. Not to mention pull the plug on all three airtel services that i currently use.

                            Last Tuesday I used my airtel app to recharge of rs 594 and then guess what, it never came. but the money was deducted from the account, I even received a text saying that recharge was done successfully, I thought it might take some time but I don’t think it should take more than 2 day so help. Thank you

                              Charged rs.76, 128 for roaming usage in montenegro (Europe)

                              I was traveling to uk, belgrade, montenegro and dubrovnik between 07.07.2018 to 17.07.2018. I order to use my mobile service, i had activated a roaming pack of rs.3999 fixed charge for a month. This pack included call charges, sms and data services.
                              While i was in montenegro, i received an sms from airtel that my usage had incurred up to rs.76, 128.

                              When airtel customer service was contacted they replied saying that montenegro was not included in the roaming pack as we had not mentioned while activating the pack.
                              However i received full network coverage in montenegro along with data services which i used.
                              Now we informed them that no message as received informing me in advance about the call, sms and data usage charges would be as per network charges in montenegro.
                              If i would have received a message beforehand informing me about the usage charges in montenegro, i would have used my mobile services sparingly.
                              Another point is that a message was sent directly when the usage reached rs.76, 128.
                              At least they should have sent a message when a usage reached rs.10000.
                              My average monthly bill is between rs. 3000 to 6000. So they should have warned me through sms about my usage. I was in a foreign country and did not have access to to mobile services.
                              Apart from speaking to various customer service agents at airtel an e-mail was also sent to their appellate department.
                              They are refusing to reverse these charges.
                              Kindly help me in resolving this issue.

                              Thanking you.

                                Till date their is no information about the status of the recharge.

                                  Hi,

                                  I have taken handset accident protection claim service from airtel. I pay premium every month more than a year. And on 4th august my handset was in my upper pocket i bend down to pick up my remote and it slip from my pocket and got broken.

                                  Now airtel guys are saying we cannot address your claim because your handset is broken because of not proper care. I am just wondring if these guys are not considering accidental damage then why anyone should take this plan.

                                  Its a scam from airtel and i want this service should be stopped for everyone so that no one else get cheated by these fraud.

                                  I'm at airtel customer care service point, chinar park, kolkata. I'm waiting here for more than 2 hours still I didn't get any response from the team. It is happening for last 1 week.

                                    I recently got a 4g sim replacement for my mobile number [protected] and since then i am unable to send or receive sms. I tried calling their customer care however it seemed there is nobody to attend my call as i was made to listen to recorded advertisements for 5 minutes after which i hung up. Now that i can't receive any messages i am unable to complete any online transactions that require otp through sms as this is my primary number.

                                      Airtel is deducting rupees 35 whenever i recharge my prepaid. I have no idea what icon service is and they have been deducting my balance for it for last three months.

                                      I have tried contacting customer support however a
                                      It is a pathetic support line as usual. You spend hours and end up with no help. All i could hear is press 1 press 2 press 3.

                                      I have found a best way to get rid of all this is nothing but stop using such worst service.
