This is about my mother's prepaid no. I had got 3 recharges done: for 100 rupees on on july 28, and for 10 and 100 rupees on july 30, 2018 respectively. The sms after the first recharge said 'recharge failed'. After the second recharge that i made with a different debit card for 10 rupee, the sms said 'successful'. So i put another 100. Today is aug 2. Voice message on her phone again is 'your pack has expired. Please recharge...'. The recharge was done online. Please resolve the issue soonest because my mother is not able to make calls. And i would like to know where the recharge amount has simply vanished.

    Issue in network was being faced from the last 6 months besides continuous complaints filed about the issue to the customer care but no fruitful outcome was obtained. I was assured by costumer care executives everytime but I got no solution. At last, I asked them to resolve the issue otherwise I will not pay the bill. They suspend my outgoing and incoming & have charged me for the non utilized services. Now I have been asked to pay a sum of rs 1900 for the services I haven't used.

      After seeing the flat 100rs offer in MYAIRTEL app.I paid my bescom bill of above 600rs..While the offer needed min of 200rs transaction.Though it was my first airtel money transaction i satisfied all the company terms on this offer..They mentioned in there terms that the cashback will be credited within 3 working days..But today it is already a 8th working day after the recharge..No cashback credited..If the company is not willing to credit cashbacks!!Y it is showing off??Now i want the cashback..I thought it was though a reputed company but they disappointed me.I request the higher authorities to take action on these kind of fraud offers..

          I was asked by the airtel agent to take their plan as it will cover mobile damage for a year. I took their plan and unfortunately my i phone got damaged accidently. Now when i claimed they rejected initially my claim and when follow up through mail and over phone they again accepted and asked me they will pick my handset from my home within 21days. Now when asked they said its is been rejected. Please take the necessary action against this fraud company and their false promises.

          Thanks & regards

            Recharge of rs 49 gives additional 3gb data with validity as that o[censored]nlimited pack. It is clearly shown in my airtel app. But since last three consecutive recharges of rs 49, airtel gives me this pack valid only upto 12 am in night. They loot 3 gb data continously on my number. i called customer care but they say you have consumed.These are the biggest looters.

              Today airtel rejected my port request (Mobile no. [protected]) 2nd time giving reason of outstanding dues. This is to inform you that i already paid advance & my account is showing 486.89 credit balance. Moreover i have paid rs.3000 towards security deposit amount while taking this connection.
              1. Rs.1000 chq no.211905 citi bank - against new connection
              2. Rs.2000 chq no.224720 citi bank - national rooming deposit
              Now onward don't reject my port request as you have sufficient security deposit balance to settle my outstanding if any.

                              Same with me. I tried to stop all auto renewal packs, sending an sms stop to 155223. But did not worked.in airtel app also in manage services activate/deactivate dnd option is there, but no option to deactivate auto renewal packs. This happened in landline phone also earlier with me, without my consent they upgraded to higher pack, when i made complaint, they said current plan is not available now. When i said then stop plans i do not want airtel, then suddenly they corrected to old plan.
                              These guys are money suckers.
                              God should see them, no not god, trai should see, as in our case trai is the god.

                                Website: My Airtel prepaid mobile [protected] service stopped working from past 8 days due to the error Simca

                                My airtel prepaid mobile [protected] service stopped working from past 1days due to the error simcard registration failed. Tried using a different phone but never worked. I tried contacting airtel customer care many times and none bothered to look in to this matter.

                                I had already sent many emails to the airtel appellate authorities and a lady named rukhshar ali replied saying that my alternate number is not reachable. When i replied to her email saying "stop lying" and start resolving the problem. She then sent an email requesting for all non relevant questions like, hows the voice clarity, how many towers are displayes, what does the cell info display status shows and so on. Finally she asked me for the sim number which i sent through an email. I have never got an update and my phone is dead for more than 1 days now. This is not acceptable since this is the main number my family and relatives use to contact. I have also raised a complaint through airtel www.airtel.in/airtelpresence and no response till date.

                                Since it is too late i want some higher authorities from airtel to look in to this and do the needful asap. I want airtel to compensate for the loss that they have made to me and should pay for the difficulties i had to gone through because of their poor service.

                                  Below is the mail which i had to finally write to the highest escalation authority in airtel but still these guys didn’t respond:
                                  — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
                                  First of all, it is very disappointing that i need to reach out highest escalation authority. But this situatuoon has occurred because of very unprofessional behaviour out of airtel perssonnels of different stature.

                                  I believe, by this you may have already been informed by your internal teams, but if not, then here is the brief what has happened as part of pathetic service is have received from airtel.

                                  Because of very high urgency, i discussed and booked airtel high speed broadband service yesterday. It was committed by sales representative-‘venkatesh puvvada’ that i will get my active connection yesterday itself by evening 5:00 pm. I cross-confirmed multiple times with him and he mentioned that as it is closing of july month, so definitely i will get connection lately by 9:30 or 10:00 pm. He was very eager to collect in collecting documents and advance money from me. I did whatever he asked me to do. Even though i had doctors appointment at 5, if met doctor earlier only and made myself available by 5:30 pm and informed venkatesh regarding my availability, half an hour early, at 5:00 pm himself, exactly what he asked me to do. No one contacted me around 5:30 pm. I messaged him between 5:30 and 6:00 pm regarding status update but didn’t respond anything else that saying his is in meeting and confirematon to get the connection done. I have record of this conversation. Then i talked to venkatesh again at 6:15 pm and he said he will get this done in few hours and update me by 7:15 pm. I kept on waiting for him till 9:00 pm but no response. Because of no internet i missed my super urgent meeting which has caused me loss of rs. 5000/-. I messaged venkatesh at around 9:00 pm itself to stop processing my request because i already have missed the meeting. And asked him to refund my money by 11:00 am next day. As usual, there was no response from him. Then i called him around 9:15 pm last night to inform the same. Initially he didn’t respond but later he said he can get the connection done in few mins. I was waiting for his response till 10:30 pm but nothing happend and when finally he answered my call, he mentioned to call at airtel customer care for money refund.

                                  With this fraud, i tried calling last night but couldn’t succeed. Today, at around 9:30 am, i was finally able to connect with airtel support. After going through round of multiple long hold, i was connected with ms. Hinduja, floor supervisor. I asked her for immediate refund so that i get internet connection with other providers. I don’t have other budget for internet connection and i have to use this money, stuck at airtel, for internet connection. She mentioned about long list of policies and it appeared that airtel is not going to return my money. After long discussion with her, it was finally committed by her that she will share an update regarding my connection by 12:00 pm. For this update and get connection, i had to postpone my office login because i am in super urgent need of internet connection because tonight again i have meeting and failing to attend it will cause me loss of another rs. 5000/-. Again, because of airtel personnel failing to keep their commitment, i only had to call them back. This time i was connected with mr. Gautam gopinath, floor manager and escalation manager. After great rounds of holds, mr. Gautam presents a completely new story. So far there were some technical issues because of which the committed internet connection was not provided to me. This time mr. Gautam mentions that some regional manager had informed him that the security at my apartment complex are not allowing airtel technicians to get the connection done. This theory emerged after such long periods and i was not even informed that some from my apartment security is preventing them from anything. Also, during the call it appeared that someone is calling me. They could be airtel technicians, i am not sure, but they didn’t call me in the agreed time frame of 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. I was waiting asking to mr. Gautam while i was on my way to office. At times he was saying to give him 20-30 mins to get regional manager in call and get the problem solved and other times he was saying it is not possible to get it done today. Finally, i informed him that if i can be compensated of loss which o had yesterday and which i will have today, i can wait for tomorrow but he couldn’t validate it.

                                  Why there is no value of time and money at airtel. Didn’t we learn that in professional world, if we give words and commit something, we have responsibility of that. These all are missing at airtel and i don’t want go with such unprofessional service provider.

                                  I expect at least the personnel at this highest escalation level will have some decency and value towards their work, word and commitment. You will revert back to me at the earliest.

                                  You may do needful,
                                  1. Compensate for my loss and return my money immediately so that i go with other vendor
                                  2. Compensate for my loss and get the connection done at the earliest
                                  3. Let me know about other options like online forums, consumer court, etc. To get a proper and timely resolution

                                  You should listen to conversation i had with airtel representatives and take necessary actions to rectify these issues.
