Who the hell is talking from my phone number at 3 A.M. ? I guess someone is trying to peep into my personal space . I was asleep at 12 at night to woke up to tour message that I've talking for 26 minutes in midway sleep. Kindly look into this info else I might have to go to higher authority. It's a serious issue of trust and peivacy breach.

      AIRTEL provides interrupted network and charges for ISD CALLS and SMS saying that calls were not done through internet but directly -our mobile data is on always and wi fi is present most of the time and calls are made through internet but they claim that they were made directly-this shows they are withdrawing network amidst calls and trying to profit by charging as direct calls -I had complained about it several times but they don’t agree and argue-some lady Ekkaiya argued unnecessarily and refused to credit back the charges made in the bills -she did not acknowledge her network deficiencies but blamed us for those calls .Kindly be strict with such network providers -today also I can see that have increased the data limit under the broadband plans but they fail to provide data as promised -we need to complain almost everyday and besides if wi fi and mobile data services are interrupted then how can the calls be controlled ?

          My airtel Number has been allotted to other person. It was with me from past 6 Years. When i talked with customer care, they told that you have not used it from 90 days so they allotted it to other person.
          Number is attached with my bank account & Other personal network.

          Today before talking to airtel customer care, i visited airtel office but they didn't told be about such thing and reissued me a new sim for same number and charged me for that.

          I need that Number any how.

          Please help.

            I recharged my airtel mobile via online recharge txn ID[protected] for Rs. 249. The amount got deducted from my SBI account but the recharge did not take place .My mobile number is [protected]. I am unable to find any complaint handling system in airtel site nor any toll free number so that I can contact and explain my problem. I would like you to look into the matter and update my mobile number with the recharge amount.

                Sir,
                I have recharged with 99 ₹ on 29th of June 2018 which has unlimited voice calls and 1 GB data of validity 28 days.

                As my 1 GB data is consumed by me before 13th July 2018, I have recharged with 448 which has unlimited voice calls, 1.4GB data per day, 100 SMS per day of validity 82 days. But my data services are not activated.

                When I contacted Airtel customer care they are saying that if you are using one offer then you are not eligible to activate another offer. The latter offer will be activated after termination of first offer. In this case, I am unable to use data even I have recharged my account. And there is no option of declining recharge in "My Airtel app" even if one offer is active.

                Kindly respond to my problem.

                Thank you.

                  My. Balance deducted without any information..they started Value added services without my confirmation. Airtel is cheating customers .. its not good for your company .. please send my money back.. otherwise I will go to court..
                  On Wednesday at 1:18 am airtel deducted RS. 35 for online gaming services without my request. I did not apply for this service. This is an auto deduction of money by Airtel. This is a matter of concern that how can a company charge from it's customer without his/her confirmation. This is an fraudulent activity by the company. I want my money back. Please consider my complaint and take an action against this.

                      Namaskar
                      I have visited Air Tel Office, Sripuram, Visakhapatnam for porting my mobile no from Idea to Airtel around 1545 hrs. on 14 jul 18. But, Airtel staff behaviour was very rude and insisted for Aadhaar and I was refused to entertain. However, I have given the reference of Honorable Supreme Court Order regarding the issue, but I was denied. Please take action. I am also requesting TRAI for clarification and necessary action.
                      Regards

                        This is to complain about Airtel Executive Mr. Rajmit Nagpal who visited site for
                        installing Network booster at L & T site.
                        Mr. Rajmit sent the survery person for taking network reports.
                        The survey report was forwarded to some other person who didnt know about the site.
                        Mr. Rajmit did not attend calls or messages given by me from the last 1 week.
                        On the basis of airtel booster many o[censored]s have ported the no. to Airtel.
                        I request to take strong action against the airtel executives.
                        They keep on giving family and other reasons for delaying work.

                          Hello,

                          During my travel outside India, without my knowledge international roaming setting is activated from my Airtel Network on my mobile number.

                          Now, during my stay I was able to receive calls from India and answer them as usual.

                          During the usage, Airtel never intimated that the usage of Airtel services is being charged over my credit limit. Now they have billed me 5800 INR and expect me to pay.

                          I deny this as it is a mistake on Airtel that it denied informing me while approaching the credit limit or while exceeding it.

                          So, please help with Airtel in resolving my issue.

                          Thanks,
                          Varun

                            Hi, I received a message from airtel saying that there's a scheme in which a Hello tune could be activated in 15 rupees for 90 days. Now when I tried to activate the Hello tune in 578785 I got a play list where I selected my song. I got a message that the song would be activated in few minutes. However it was not activated although rupees 22 was deducted from my account. When I tried to take help from the so called customer care executive on 198, I wasn't answered on my query instead the SENIOR executive named Sarika disconnected my call saying that she couldn't hear my voice. I know this trick of customer care executives but this should not be the way to treat customers. This is very disappointing and now I think I will port this number to Vodafone.

                                My airtel dth id is [protected]. I am recharging my connection regularly and but they reduce my days every time and in their customer channel they are showing that if you pay before due date your days of plan will increase but they are doing opposite and reducing my plan days. Now they said our plan price increase but I have recharged before the price hike. They said no we will charge the higher price and they reduced again my days. But they are not giving the benefit of recharging before due date. Giving very poor service.

                                    First of all this customer care people should be trained properly on how to talk to customers. The complaints i had to make on TransID[protected] and TransID[protected] recharge on my number [protected] has not been activated for 3gb but i got 1gb in both case. But the customer care guys are ignorant and proud enough to hang up the call after saying 'let me get you to customer executive' not once but twice. I have no words to describe such a huge company which is trying to connect people is only turning his deaf ear to already existing customer. Are the new customers the real customer, and the old customer is not a customer?
                                    I know these message will not even be read, and the worst is i wont even be get in touched after this.
                                    Can you help me out after all i am your sincere customer until today.
                                    Dont try to be the fastest network try to be a reliable network.
                                    The customer executives who just assisted me are the worst at their job, and why do you hang up on someone who is looking for help, all because he was fooled by the company in showing 49rs=3gb data for 1 day, i say this is scam as i did not have it.

                                      I am unable to send or recieve messages on my airtel number. It is always showing sending failed. I changed my sim as old sim was not working. Since then i am facing this priblem. As this number is my primary number and all my accounts are linked with this number, so i am facing too much problem by not sending or recieving messages on this number
                                      With thanks
