I have never ever activated any services called :
1) airtel now flash
2) super store
But every time i recharge my number 35+35=70 rs gets deducted which is completely against my consent.
Today, at 2:44 am 35 rs were deducted for something called supe store. Airtel, is this your another way of earning money?
I want complete refund of my money or strict actions will be taken against airtel.
And yes, airtel is definitely going to lose a lot of customers for these crimes.

    I have ported my number [protected] from vodafone to airtel. But there is no signal in that sim and my old number has stopped already. I am loosing my business calls and i am going to consumer forum against it.
    This is such a bad service for postpaid users like us. We wholly depend on our phone.

    Your associates keep bugging us about your plans and finally when we try it we have to face this. I urge you to start my number immediately

      Also, there will not be any data charges for the app usage on airtel network. Airtel partners can easily get the app from google play store, which earlier available via a link generated to lapu numbers.

      The app offers live balance and alert when the partner crosses a lower balance limit. The live updates for last 20 transactions are made through the partner lapu sim. With the app, partners can easily search for voice, data, and stv plans, not only for the home circle but also for other circles. This will help the retailers to recharge the numbers of those customers, who come to shop to

            I have been complaining about airtel gallery no. Of times.
            They are showing their helplessness every time.
            They asked me to mail their backhand office abt. The issue.
            Their office sends me a mail to remove sim & follow elaborate instructions, which as a senior citizen of 71 yrs. Old cannot follow.
            Why not they ask their gallery people to contact me & take corrective action?
            I hear a lot of people complaining abt. Aitel services during my visits to their gallery.
            Due to my frustrated & disturbed status now i am going all out to let people know about the situation with airtel
            I am going to blow all media about the problems.
            My complaint is as detailed below:
            Sir,
            This is to bring to your attention very serious problem with my airtel mobile connection.
            I m not getting phone calls from any landline connection.
            Porting has been done from vodafone to airtel 10 days back.
            My problem is, my wife has very low vision.
            She cannot connect me when i m out of the residence.
            This is a serious situation.
            Airtel gallery at borivli west, link road is helpless & are not able to help.
            Urgent action is a must from airtel.
            Request immediate action.

              As i am paying my bills promptly before due date mostly i could not be charged the late fee. Sometimes net connection problem occurs and at that time i was unable to pay on due date. I request you not to add up the late payment charges in my next bill. Two months back really i forgot to pay and the next month i paid my bill with late fee only. Hope you will do the needful for me in this case.
              Thank you.

                    Hello,

                    Today I was charged (for the second time in a while) for the AIRTEL GAMESWORLD service. Neither did I opt for such service nor was I notified before being charged for it. The given number, to stop the service, "isn't available at the moment" and when I text them they show it as an active service but I can't cancel it. Whenever i put 1 (the code for it in active service) it simply shows invalid. Can't call, cancel service. Even the activate/deactivate service section on my 'My Airtel' app shows "Please try again later."
                    This is no way to take money from customers. Activating services without their consent, charging them and not allowing them to cancel. I want my refund as well as this service to stop immediately.
                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                        This is regarding the delay in shifting of my connection. My broadband id is [protected]_kk. At each step of the process, i was misguided and given wrong information by visiting engineer and even after multiple escalation to floor supervisor on airtel customer care, there has been no resolution.

                        First of all, the engineer who visited for setting up the connection did not finish the task and left the premises telling me the connection will be automatically activated after few hours. This did not happen even after 3 days.

                        Then i was assured over phone that my router is faulty and it will be replaced I had already pointed out to the engineer to please check the wiring part as router was working perfectly fine in old premises. Next day engineer visited for some time and after checking with a new router told me the wiring is faulty and left the premises without providing any ETA or resolution or root cause.

                        Moreover, i had been interacting with customer care supervisor for over 3 days and have not got anything other than empty assurances which are not getting fulfilled. It seems customer care has no clue even for an escalated case. i was assured a resolution will be done within 24 hours as the router is faulty and will be replaced. Next day it was a new story altogether. And there is no clarity on what is the root cause of the problem.

                        So the bottom line is, it has been 6 days and my connection is not working. As a last resort i approached appellate authority but once again the same reply, we will check and get back to you. So finally had to discontinue my airtel broadband.

                          I had requested for MNP on 7th August still my number has not been ported.

                          Date of request : 7/8/18
                          Centre where request given : NX-1, Ghod Dod Rd, Sanskar Nagar, Athwa, Surat,
                          Gujarat 395017, India
                          Description : it is 4 days still the MNP is not done. It was
                          from post paid to pre paid. The company is
                          same, even then it is still not done. I
                          opted for pre-paid because in last bill i felt that i

                              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

                                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.

                                    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
