Its been 11 days almost and nothing has been done. When there is no connection available at my location why and why airtel is holding my 1589 rupee for activation. I have even applied 13 days back for refund on airtelrefund online with cancel check but airtel literally not doing anything.

I dont know what is happening, neither the connection is provided and nor the refund is given back. Is this the airtel services to the customer?

    I was using airtel services on mob. no. [protected] with customer relationship no. [protected] which i ported out this no. in December 2017, my bill was in -1905.64 till last date, i have requested many times but Airtel representatives are least bothered to resolve my complaint, the customer service is ordering to visit the Airtel store and the store people are saying to talk to customer care it is almost 8 months but i have not received a penny in spite many requests.

    I'm continuously sending mails from 28th August regarding my refund but all my request have been falling to the deaf ears of Airtel, if a penny is left pending of customer they people bar the customer number and than send legal notice but if customer's refund is pending they are not least even bothered shame on Airtel.

      Just before 1.5 or 2 Months My SIM was belongs to UNINOR/TELENOR 3G (UP West) and Mobile/Dongle Internet was really best and most satisfied then subsequently it was converted into AirTel (UP West) but it's Internet is really going worst than 2G. I already set My Mobile's Network as 4G VOLTE, 3G & 2G which one is available but airtel's network is not serving even 3G in best Way even after recharged for Rupees ₹ 448. Rearly it provides 3G as H+ which is quiet good but for 3.5 Hours among 24 Hours. Airtel is providing 2G as E. And When I tried to call Airtel's Customer Care Helpline or Complaint Registration Number on 197 then Airtel Cut off or Ended My Call itself. What to do?

      Even after yesterday I made a call to 198 then representative was helpless. She told me that your SIM is belong to 2G Only. I explained her each and every thing but she told me that I am not eligible to help you.

        Hi,

        From past month, I am receiving quite a high bill.When I checked the detailed bill, it's says "International roaming rental" activated for Rs149.This is insane ok! I have not activated any roaming plan.Then how come am I activated and why the hell should I pay for it!!
        First of all, I have taken 399 plan! Initially it was said the bill would never cross 399. Lol!! I never received bill below 399 till now !
        Last month I had to pay around 750 ! It's terrible ! And this month also bill has come around 550.
        When I try to call Airtel customer care, it never connects apart from that automated voice setup!!
        Please remove the nonsense roaming thing and also I want refund of my amount .
        My number is [protected]

          I have enrolled for airtel secure when I bought new iphone 6s a year back for [protected] and have been paying premium everymonth as part of airtel postpaid plan, hoping that it will help me in case of any physical damage
          and 14 - AUG -18 phone got dropped accidently damaging phone display and when I raised claim request they took a week to verify documents ( its funny that you need to re-upload all documents that you submitted
          while opting airtel secure ) and they came back after multiple follow ups, calls to customer care begging them to give update on the claim and they came back saying they need additional documentation
          they took further 3-4 days to give option to upload the documents and when I finally uploded documents they rejected the claim saying that the damage was caused due to negligance.
          Now what I dont understand is that what is this airtel secure is about, when phone is dropped that means its a accident and thats what I opted this plan to secure in such cases.
          If you consider any accident then they all happen due to someone/something as negligency . I re-claimed multile times and they rejected the claim again and again saying this was caused due to negligence.

          I feel that airtel is just cheating customers by collecting premium every month towards airtel secure and not giving claims, neither airtel services are up to the mark like they promise in advertaisements or they do have any ethics
          by eating customer money and cheating them and by breaking trust ( I guess they never belived in any of this and just worried about money making business)

          now i had to spend for the damage on phone loosing money at both ends.
          such a cheap tricks by airtel secure team
          shame on you

          You airtel secure and confusing executives and professionals have harassed me enough and subsequently my social image has been tarnished. You company and its whims and fancies have destroyed my mental peace and solace

          I request you to sort out my problem expediently

                My services have been blocked even after making the payment! They have cheated me and forced me to make a payment for the services which the company has not provided. Even after making the payment, they are playing as they have not received the payment. (For the record, payment was made at airtel store). There is a frequent network issue and they do not even bother to resolve it! And yet they want payments. Without providing services they are looting money!

                    My airtel prepaid number is [protected].

                    Yesterday, i was charged rs 35 from my prepaid balance for a service called bioscope. This was activated on my mobile at 11:38 pm yesterday (28/08/2018) for a period of 7 days without my permission or my asking for the same.

                    I have stopped the service today morning after discovering the same. However, this service was activated on my phone without my permission or any type of intimation. I do not need this vas at all.

                    Request you to look at my complaint and refund the amount charged immediately.

                      I had recieved a message from airtel stating that rs. 20 is deducted for primezone from my prepaid mobile account. I was watching youtube on my phone when the notification appeared. I immediately called airtel customer care and after 5 minutes was connected with a lady named cinepriya c who told me that i had opened and played a game and hence the charges.
                      When i told her that i hadn't opened any gaming site/ link, she was just rude and told me that the fault was in my phone and that the 20 rs was a one time charge and i won't be charged if i don't play the game in the future. When i asked her what the game was and how i got charged when i did not open anything she was just irresponsible and told me to go to a shop nearby and resolve the issue.
                      Airtel has to stop playing its games.
                      Investigate the matter.

                        Hi
                        I deepak gupta and i have 5 connections of airtel 2 on my name and 3 for my family memebers. We have been facing issues with airtel customer service for a long time, for which i have always registered complaints several times to customer care.

                        Due to poor and rude customer service we had requested closure of connection several times thereafter, we started receiving several calls stating that we do not close the connection. Subsequently, airtel customer service repeatedly offered different offers on rental. We still requested closure.
                        Please put a stop to this harassment and resolve the issue. I am at loss to understand the reason. This definitely is harassment of a common man by a mnc to fleece us of money, even though we have made the payment every month on time. Please refund my all payment which i have made to you without your service asap. I need to port my number to the other service.

                        Please put a stop to this harassment and resolve the issue

                            I have brought a new sim card on june 2018 when used their service that time network was good after june was over now i realize that 4g speed which is committed by airtel that is very bad. Also reach to customer care they said in your area speed is good as i can check. So, i'm requested to airtel and other telecom authorities kindly look on that case

                                I went for the upgradation to airtel 4g network . Customer Executive took my phone type a sim number and sms it . The confirmation process was done by replying 1 to the message sent by Customer Care and so is the response towards call. When i checked my message the sim number which was sent by Customer executive was wrong and all the confirmation was done. I had a wrong sim with me now and the activation process of other sim has been initiated. Customer Care has no solution, Retailer is not available and now my privacy is at risk.

                                    I have locked a case in airtel customer care in month of jan 2018 for "no signal in my house", but in last 8 months airtel is not capable to resolve a simple network issue. No one visited to my house to check network feasibility in this duration even after number of reminders though lots of assurance promised by aitel for this.

                                    I was not able to use my 4g data which is accumulated in last 8 months.

                                    Earlier (In december 2017) when i locked case for same issue it was resolved in their record without taking any action.

                                    Please help and suggest..

                                    Thanks & regards

                                      Hi,
                                      I am a resident of n block, south city-1, gurgaon. I have recently ported my number [protected] from vodafone to airtel.
                                      The network in my area is very bad. I am not able to receive any call while in this area proximity.
                                      Even after repeated complaint to the airtel customer care, there is no resolution on this issue.
                                      Since i have to operate from home on few occasions but due to non-availability of network in my area i am not able to do official work.
                                      I have no other option to port this number again but due to 3 months pool in period i am badly stuck with such a bad experience.

                                      Please help me with any resolution here.

                                        Dear sir
                                        I have raised a complaint for network issues with Airtel and my mobile no is [protected]. Past 2 months nothing has been done and it is not only with me but entire area has the network issue.
                                        Not only I have opted for mobile portability but for vain they are not attempting to solve the problems.

                                        Regards
                                        Saravana Babu
