Hello Airtel Team,

Today I am regretting for trusting Airtel and kept recharged with 968 rupees for future recharges. I was trying to recharge for 448 plan even though my plan expiry date was 14/07/2018. But when I checked my balance, airtel deducted 187 rupees from my balance without any intimation and kept on sending messages after the deduction stating that I have consumed 10 MB data from my account.When i tried to recharge 448 plan there was no option for send message.I had come back from my offer page and thought to recharge after last date.that is on 14/07/2018.But you have deducted my money.As soon as I got to know I recharged 448 plan from New offers section. After that when I started using internet after the confirmation for recharge details, airtel again deducted money from my account for no reason. I am in loss of 212 rupees now. Have I have been fooled for keeping good amount in my balance. Return my deducted amount to my balance as soon as possible as it is Airtel issue and not mine. If that is not happening I will port to the network which never cheat their customers like this.Thank you so much for the response which I got for being your loyal customer from 2009 onwards. Regret to inform you that if the same thing continues loyal customers will not be with you for future days.We already got good networks around us.And there is no number allow us to reach Airtel customer care. So no value for customer response here.

Thanks,
Akshatha

          Hi- My number is[protected] and i use this for last 5 years. Recently (6 months back) i have moved to a different location in Bangalore. From then on, i am not able to use my phone (both calls and data) due to poor network. have raised a compliant with Airtel and following up for 3-4 months now and nobody is giving me a solution for this. Infact, no one bothered to call me in earlier stages. This is little annoying and frustrating as i am not able to even call someone. I have also paid my bills as per the dates even though i was not using the services. But now, i have decided not pay for something that i havent used it. Hope you can understand my pain/concern. I am proud to be an AIRTEL user and thats the reason i havent disconnected/ moved to other network (which really work in my location. I am not sure who is reading this..but please be kind enough to help me in this regards.

          Thanks

              Good day,
              My postpaid no. [protected] has been stopped by service provider inspite of giving 6 months rental. I don't know how they r claiming outstanding bill then. Yet I have not rcvd any clarification regarding same. I had a very bitter experience last time also when I came to know that in my name there is outstanding balance of 800 Rs & which I paid as I didn't had much time to proceed further as I had to join the ship.
              When I enquired I came to know that in Ranchi I took one postpaid connection for office use but due to some error the no. alloweted to me was in use for last 5 years by some other person, when complianed I was given another no. after 15 days but they put 800 Rs outstanding in my name which I came to know when I went to get new postpaid connection.
              And again same issue, wrong bill & connection disconnected.
              Brgds

                I have open complaint of Airtel mobile network for 9 months. It is in OPen condition. They are not resolving the issue. But promptly taking monthly charges. The customer care line is mostly not reachable... if it is reached they say sorry and complaint is open and there is network issue in the area and they are working on it.

                I think Airtel Network should be banned from India for doing this network fraud. Both my numbers are airtel and I am suffering due to them

                  I recharged for an amount of 250₹ and my account was deducted by 150/- for Whatsmob services that I did not even ask for ! The same had happened once before, an amount of 75/- was deducted earlier. I deactivated the service but I want a refund of the amount that was deducted from we for a service that I did not even use ! Why can't u ask the customer before deducting amount from their accounts?? What kind of theft is this ? Really upset with the service !

                    HI,
                    on 12th July I have recharged an amount Rs 99/- to my mobile number - [protected] by mistake, even though I have valid unlimited pack which is expiring on 13th July.

                    When I called Airtel customer care number 121 on 13th July and requested to reverse the recharged amount Rs 99/-, they are not ready to do the same and abusing me by saying the mistake cant be taken and reverse cant be done

                    Request to kindly check and take necessary action on Airtel company.

                    Thanks.
                    Prashanth

                      Your customer care executives are of no use neither do we get to speak to them easily and when we do get to speak instead of helping a layman they confuse the already confused customers by asking about the subject they are not aware of, kindly address my problem on mobile no [protected]. There's an issue with data all the time.

                            Airtel deducted 45 rs on 24th May of 2018 for 15 days from my balance at the time when my mobile was kept idle on desk . "What is this Red Chilli ?" and why my balance got deducted fraudulently. I never requested to activate such service. I will file a strong case against such malpractice and teach them a lesson.

                                Recieved a message early morning at 2 47 am saying WHATSMOB service has been renewed at 150rs for 30 days. It's rare that I have such account balance, but when I do have Airtel never fails to impress with it's fraud and scams.
                                I deactivated it, but I need a complete refund. They can't play with customers everytime. And this is not unintentional at all. Everytime somebody has balance 8/10 times they play these tricks and then lamely answer we don't know or you yourself activated it and such stupid stuff.

                                GROW UP CHEATERS !! FOR NOW GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY!!

                                    My wife has travelled to Thailand... and she tried to activate 1199 plan which is international roaming plan and the amount is deducted and the plan has not been activated even after a day. I tried to raise a complaint here in India but they wanted min 2 authentication which even the subscriber have forgotten other than mail id. As it is 9 years old connection. And they dint not find a solution for it.

                                        I am using Airtel post paid mobile number [protected]. More than 10 times I approached to the store with my request to change plan from post paid to prepaid. A month back I got a new sim but till now plan not changed. Airtel is charging amount of 500/- every month. I am facing problems with Airtel. As my usage is nil so why should I pay for. I also called to customer care but no body is ready to solve the issue. Now only option is left to approach to Consumer Forum.
