On 18th July, I raised my first complaint to Airtel stating that I had recharged my DTH account before the due date. The payment was made via Paytm and the transaction was successful from Paytm’s side. I called airtel and provided them with the transaction id as well. They said it will be resolved in 24 hours, it’s a technical issue at their end. 24 hours go by and no resolution. I call again and for the first 5 times the customer executive puts me on hold for no reason and doesn’t come back on line. They keep disconnecting my call while I’m still speaking. They connect me to the supervisor who is just as unhelpful as their junior executives. I’m writing this complaint on 20th July and this is still not resolved. We still have suspended services, there is not a single person contacting us to try to resolve our issue. This kind of service is appalling.

    Airtel has sent me a message saying VEMES have been activated on my number even though I haven't activated any such service and they have deducted the charges from my balance. Highly unacceptable on part of Airtel. have sent a deactivation request. But will the charges be reversed

Eveytym a new person told me a new story.I am attaching the recharge scrnshot which shows your recharge is successful.

          Hello,

          I was using the docomo sim card [protected] due to net slowness i had converted to Airtel. After change of service from docomo to Airtel it was working good for starting few months after that it is working very slow.

          I am unable to use entire my net pack due to slowness . In the mobile network it is frequently change its symboll like H, 3g, 4g and ! .
          I always preferred around 500 net pack but it is worthless. It is always finish in 2 months and daily i am able to use only 500mb data remaining 1gb data loss .

          I am unable to see 4g speed in Airtel till now after using 500rs net pack in motog4 mobile. How Airtel can say that they are providing the highest speed net in world ?

            I have paid execissive regular bill of post paid mobile [protected]thrice in this month but again and again demanding dur amount which is not due. May be due to porting or hacking by someone. It should be resolved immediately. Porting processed as soon as possible.Iam paying regular bill per month nothing was due. One bill in a month is rule for post paid but four bills in a month after payment of first bill. Unauthorised billing is being done by Airtel. Consumer court may be needed to resolve this problem of excessive billing. Baldeo Puri. [protected]@gmail.com

              I have an Airtel Hotspot connection. From past one year i am facing issues with the device. The battery is faulty and it does not work properly.

              I went to airtel store they asked me to go to service centre. When i reached there they asked me to go to "Zeta" service centre as the device has some battery issue.
              I visited a store in Noida (Sector 18) as per the list provided but there is no such service center.

              I also tried to contact another reachable store but the contact number does not exist.

              I am fed up of following on this issue. Now i want someone to get this device replaced and provide me with a new device.

              Recently my Gujarat Telenor network [protected] changed to Airtel. I receive data roaming alert every time after recharging Rs.179 from Airtel for 28 days. It takes extra charge after switching the roaming data. kindly tell why it shows roaming but still I am in my home network.it takes me all data balance.

                  I have received a call from airtel support team when i did the port message to 1900 which was at 11th July 2018.

                  I have problem with recharge scheme and network.They have promised me to give unlimited calls along with 100 SMS per day and 2 GB data valid for 28 days in the recharge of Rs.99/-.

                  After that team told me to do same recharge from retailer and it would initiate to back end team once you recharge from there.

                  I have done all this thing and now they are continuously making me fool, logging different tickets to resolve my issue.

                  If you are not eligible to give such offer to my number so why you gave me false commitment.

                  Today i have received a call and they are telling we don't have such offers u need to write a mail to nodal officer.

                  After that i have had a call with Nodal officer of Mumbai, and she was telling that she verified things with concern team and they did not offer this things to you which was an answer from the nodal officer.

                  That means i am lying on same and if they were not agreed on same then why i did the recharge and sending mails again and again for follow up.

                  Very disappointed with the service and network with the Airtel.I thought this is the best telecom company who value their customer but its wrong.

                    Adofgame is a big fraud. Oneday suddenly i found out Rs120 was deducted from my account due to subscription of Adofgames which was done automatically, without my consent. This is a pure fraud and a scam. Adofgame must be shutdown immediately and all its officials should be investigated.Deduction of Rs120 for a service that i never knew about and never wanted to have is a pure fraud.

                          Recently I have noticed that Airtel is deducting money from my prepaid balance of prepaid mobile number [protected] for a service called WHATSMOB. I am not even aware of this service, without my knowledge and consent they just started deducting the balance.

                          This is totally a fraudulent behavior of the company and they are looting the people without any ethics

                              On my phone few services are activated automatically without any subscription. Every time balance debited .
                              It feels like they are cheating and making their money from these kind of frauds. The problem is not with me because I already knows about these frauds but all this happened with my father .they are not so highly qualified and unable to know that why all these charges are debited.

                                I recharged my number with 69 rs pack (all locals and std calling free for 20 days) on 18th of july which is not activated immediately and in this perception i made some callings and i lost my balance . when i called to your customer care exective on 19th july he then activated the plan but when i asked him about reimbursing my lost balance he cut the phone abrupltly and rudely . i am sorry to say but i used airtel first time and you provide the worst service. And i will never ever use your services again.

                                  Dear Team,

                                  Good Day!!!

                                  I have submitted Porting request (Port Req Description : Mumbai Airtel to Bangalore Airtel) on last week (12th July 2018). After that airtel executive has called me and explained there will not be any discontinuation of network during morning time as well as airtel will inform prior regarding the porting activity.

                                  But your technical executives did the porting on peak morning hours (ie, 11:00AM IST to 02:00PM IST) that also without any intimation. I was shocked in the morning while seeing there is no network, after that I went airtel store from there I came to know you are doing porting during morning hours, also he told me very important notice "If anybody is using Airtel Network they should have secondary number (other network) for facing airtel disaster period". Its very pathetic situation which customer cant do anything.

                                  Requesting you to kindly let me know what was your downtime period? Is there is any communication regarding porting? Is it airtel will be doing porting only in the morning hours?

                                  Looking forward your valuable response on this.

                                  Thanks in advance.
