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.

      I am User of [protected] from more than 12 years, in which 3 time lost it and reactivate it . I am using this no in vodaphone post paid but after closing this no it taken time to come back in its parent service provider.
      I never want to lost it because this is my oldest no. When i asked vodaphone for activation of this no they replied me that this no has been transfered in Airtel. Regular feedback from store and customer care was not satisfactory so i aplied compalaint on twitter, Facebook by mail then they find out my no dated as 31 july 2018 and said that to activate this no i must have to pay 25000 InR.

        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.

                            I, on the behalf of people, from imphal, manipur, would like to state that airtel network is worst in our area. We are not able to use even a net pack of 1 gb /day to our satisfaction... The network is very slow. And this problem is faced by many airtel consumers.. I regret recharging my airtel number. Airtel's 4g speed is equal to other network's 2g speed. Please solve this problem as soon as possible otherwise airtel will lose lots of consumers

                              I am using airtel for around 10 years but for last 3 months, i am facing alot of problem related to network i.e. i have full range of networks even though i cant get connected on calls and internet doesnt works. I called customer care so many times but they hadn’t provided any solution to me. Moreover, i have also mailed about the issue but no solution is provided. I want you to provide a specified solution.

                                Hi

                                I am raising this concern in regards to the my airtel no [protected] and my name is sabita lingam
                                I am using airtel postpaid since few months and before that i was using vodafone postpaid.
                                But trust me from the day i have come to airtel i have only suffered.
                                Whenever i skip my payment this peaple barr my services without confirming me and when it comes to restore my services back this ppl always fail to do so.
                                I am fond of caller tunes and this is the 2 nd time it has happened that after restoring the services my caller tune is not working.
                                I have spoken with abhishek poddar from airtel customer service and he was very smart and rude.
                                And also i have spoken with couple of ppl and everyone told me that 'mam it will work in next 3omnts'
                                Till now my caller tune is not working.
                                I really dont want to sty with this ppl.
                                Either u givbe me solution or else let me go back to vodafone because i am sick and tired of this airtel.
                                If my issue is not getting fixed in next 24hrs m going to issue a legal warning against airtel. And i dont care what ppl thinks that for small issue m creating a mess but kya karein boss inki harkatein hi aisi he.

                                  I wish to complain about data packs of rs.29 - 150mb -30 days being charged to my mobile balance without my knowledge.

                                  The reason for my complaint being that the mobile data pack of rs.29 - 150mb -30 days gets charged to my mobile number and that too without my conformation and request, this being the second time. Earlier, the data pack got recharged by itself without my request interference on late december last year.

                                  I was using a data pack of rs 399 and its validity is up to 17th september, 2018. This pack was subscribed without my knowledge and rs 29 was deducted from my mobile balance.

                                  When i first learned of this problem, i contacted at your company, and was told that nothing could be done about my problem.
                                  Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                  I am unable to recharge my airtel account always through online payment at any mode.
                                  I had complaint many times but customer care didn't solve my problem.
                                  Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible.
                                  Thanks a lot..

                                    I had Rs.50 balance on my number . But when I was going to call it was saying that "You can't able to use outgoing call due to insufficient balance" .Then I called to customer care and told them that I am facing this issue since 4 to 5 days .and they told me, its a temporary issue.Please eject your sim and restart your phone, It will work.I told them, I tried it multiple times but its not working still now. But they told me do it it will work. They took complain but they didn't work on it. Then again I recharged Rs. 399 free talk time and now I can able to call . What the hell are you doing ? You are indirectly forcing to customer to recharge free talk time . Then what is the use of top-up ?
