I have been using my mobile number [protected] for past 6years plus. I recently was out of station for 11 months. When i inserted the sim it showed inactive, i came to know my number is allocated to some one else. My point is how come in this much short duration you can allocate my number to some one else? This number is update in my bank accounts. My privacy is at risk as all the sms (Verification code, otp, urn) still goes to this number and i am fully prone to fraud as well because of exposed information. How irresponsibly my 7years old number was allocated to some one else. After this long service i did not expect airtel to act so irresponsible which put mt at very high risk. Kindly take this matter urgently and give me chance to re activate my number. Thanks & regards

            Hello,

            I am Prem spoke to your executive on[protected] at 06:12 PM when we received a call from +[protected] from Ms. Apsara. She asked me about the issues I have with Airtel and I responded that I had already informed your staff to disconnect. I said (by mistake) that I had sent an e-mail and I immediately said that I informed your people to disconnect when I spoke to them… I said I had lot of issues with the internet and I never said that I will not pay any money that I have to if there is any… She started arguing and she kept speaking continuously and never gave a chance to speak and she commands, saying “you give the answers to whatever I ask” HOW CAN SHE ORDER A CUSTOMER LIKE THIS? DO AIRTEL THIK THAT CUSTOERS ARE SLAVES? I got offended and asked her to transfer the call to the immediate Manager. She says (with a very arrogant tone) that no one else are here to talk and if you want to talk you have to talk only to me … and she started arguing with me and when I said to not argue with the customer and first listen to the customer. said that “You are arrogant and ……………” “WHAT DOES SHE THINK ABOUT CUSTOMERS?” I said I am in Visakhapatnam on my business work. I said that I am the Owner of a company and is this the way you speak and I asked for Appellate Authorities E-Mail Address and Complaint Number and she says you come to our Begumpet office, also she says “you do whatever you want”… She said these words multiple times… And she says that this is a professional call, which is very funny to here that from her… Is this the way Airtel employees speaks? I never said that I will not pay the money… IS SHE THERE TO ARGUE, OFFEND, INSULT AND COMMAND THE CUSTOMER? OR TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE? WHY SHE HAS TO TALK LIKE THIS? PLEASE DO REMEMBER, AIRTEL CUSTOMERS ARE NOT SLAVES TO SPEAK HOWEVER YOU WANT… She would had spoken properly and found a resolution… I claim an action on her as I got very disappointed and very offended with Airtel Executive – Ms. Apsara. We think there would be many Airtel Customers who might be facing these kind of issues (Harassment / Offensive Words) from Airtel Executives and also with regards to service… We dont have any issues to pay but we ask for a proper action on this executive and please do disconnect all connections we have with airtel, immediately…

            In Public interest - "We dont want any customer to face what we faced..." Thats the reason we are posting this complaint...

            Thanks & Regards
            Prem

              Bhojpuri videos are being activated in my phone without my consent. This has happened for the second tome now. This is really frustrating. I have lost Rs 170 by now. Also once there was this message saying 'online games have been activated' costing me Rs 30.

              Please take this complaint into consideration and take the necessary action, otherwise I will be forced to take up extreme actions.

                    There is no signal strength at all in the office area.
                    Even to make calls it's difficult, there is no clarity in voice and not audible.
                    Data is something which will never work here.

                    Airtel states that it is the best service provider in india but it has such bad service here.

                          Dear sir,

                          This is to bring on record that i (Customer id: [protected]) have been calling airtel customer care no.[protected] continuously asking for a technical engineer to visit for repair of my set top box.

                          The first complaint was raised on 23rd july'18 wherein it was confirmed that technical engineer shall visit on 28th july'18 (Saturday) around 9 am. No engineer turned up. I again called and asked for the same. It was again confirmed that by 6:00 pm engineer shall visit. However, i called again at 9:00 pm after hours of waiting only to find out that my request has been closed giving the reason that "user is not reachable". Yet, another request was raised and assurance was given that today my issue shall be resolved.

                          However, after multiple calls and giving multiple assurances that engineer shall visit us by 3:00pm, 6:00 pm etc, no body has turned up till date.

                          I'm highly disappointed with the services provided to a customer who has purchased a new set top box on 12th feb'18. It is pertinent to mention inspite of the settop box being on warranty, i shall be paying for the engineer's visit. Also, even after multiple calls, not even a single person has turned up. Moreover, my requests have been closed without even informing me. It is my humble request to at least send us the engineer's number so that we can contact him. Also, if somehow the user is "not reachable", at least have the courtesy to check with user before closing the complaint.

                          Please arrange for the engineer's visit tomorrow (30th july2018) itself and arrange for a refund of my 1 week's advance pay. If not possible, then kindly disconnect the connection, pay me the dues and relieve me of this torture of being the customer of airtel dth.

                          One of the many complaint number: 78291022
                          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                          Since July I am getting the worst network services from Airtel. Today is 26th July and till date they have not attended to the complaint.
                          I hope to change to other networks

                            I have requested for installation of digital tv connection on 16 july 2018 vide request id [protected]. Due to some reason i requested for installation on 30 july 18. I was given contact no of sr services and accordingly i contacted the gentleman and he promised me that he shall install it today on 31 july 18. He also asked me to send the details of old discontinued set up box from air tel, which i send through what asp today morning.
                            Now the issue is i am contacting him to give time for installation but the gentleman is not picking up his phone and disconnecting the phone without any response?
                            I am surprised with the attitude of your service provider? In case air tel is not interested in digital tv business it should be clear to customer so that they can look for other option. We can not do a continuous follow up nor we have time to do so.
                            Please respond

                                  I was charged 1800 rupees for the internet services twice. The first time I tried paying the app showed that the transaction had failed still the amount was deducted. This happened yesterday and I have not been refunded. It was a technical glitch which I feel is the company’s responsibility.
