Hi airtel team,
It is totally disappointing to mention that you have deducted 99/- from my mobile balance for the services which i have not opted at all.
After speaking to one of your representative, he claims that i have opted for the
Service called lifestyle dressing room service. Actually what service is it. I don't know what this service is all about.
I requested to refund back the deducted amount, however the service is deactivated after calling to customer representative but he claims that i refund cant be claimed.
Why is airtel doing like this. I literally lost hope on aiterl service.

Kindly help me to get the refund back.

Thanks,
Jeevan

An international roaming charge of rs 99 was deducted without consent! I did not place a request for international roaming nor did i make a call or sms from my number
I live near PAC colony Raebareli. 4g airtel network gone worst since 10 days. I called them so many times and I have recording of that calls.
when I'm calling to customer service thay said all nerworks are ok but this is wrong. I'm a student and I'm very upset because of the network speed. Its hurting my studies.

    My dth customer id is : [protected]

    I got my dth reinstalled in hyderabad after shifting from gurgaon which costed Rs 650 (without new dish and old settop box).
    The airtel executive told me that HD channels will not work on my set top box, even though my set top box was HD+ (airtel) and told me it will be replaced with 48 hours.

    I waited 4 days and no response came, i tried calling the executive multiple times but he just kept delaying giving excuses.
    Finally i registered a complaint for my dth, and the call executive told me that my settop box has no problem, but connection needs to be fixed which will cost Rs 150, i agreed and waited for executive to visit, after waiting one week, i tried to call airtel again to which they said it will be resolved in 24 hours, its been 4 days now and still the issue has not been resolved.

    I have paid full HD channel subscription and my HD channels are not working. This is really pathetic customer service experienced by me by airtel, Is this the condition of Airtel in south india?

    I have attached list of service requests from airtel and last request which was supposed to be resolved 3 days back.

      My airtel mobile no. Is [protected]. I recharged it with unlimited plan of ₹399/- on 22.06.2018... No confirmatory message came... Neither any data balance credited... So i recharged again with ₹399/- this time i got a discount of ₹50/- so 349/- was charged... When i checked my card statement i found that money debited twice... Once ₹399/- and other ₹349/-

          On 3rd july, 2018 i got a call from [protected] stating he is calling from sbi and said my debit card is going to expire so he wanted the details to renew it. Out of curiosity i gave the number and after some time i again got a call from him asking for otp to complete the process. By the time i could realize it's a fraud rs. 42880/- was withdrawn from my account in 8 different transactions.
          The transactions done were to airtel money, oxigen wallet, ola cabs and yes bank. I blocked my card immediately after i say unusual activity in my account.
          I rarely use debit card since this account is for my sip and fd’s investments. We tried to call the numbers we received but they pick up the phone and say they didn't take money from our account.
          Request you to investigate this matter and help me get back my hard-earned money and give proper punishment to whosoever did this. Also, i am getting calls since this morning from the same person asking to give my mother's debit card details for renewing it.

                I have been using airtel for many years. But this time when i recharge my number ([protected]) amounting to 200, my entire money got detected saying that i have subscribed for vas even though i have never applied for any services. This has happened twice before but the money which got detected this time was plenty. I didnot expect such cheap tactics from such a big company like airtel. I request you to look into this complaint and immediately issue my refund. Thank you.

                  "dear customer, we have observed no usage for your airtel mobile from the past 30 days. To enjoy continued services, please make an outgoing call /sms or use internet from your mobile."
                  This is the message i am getting daily even if i use my phone to call occationally in a month while roaming. Also i am getting system calls alerting me to make a call from my prepaid number. That costs me if i answer to those calls, since i work in another country.
                  Why do airtel pushing me to loose my money. Anyway they are deducting rs.99 monthly towards for roaming service.

                  Is looting becomes legal?

                      Website: It's not the website, its airtel wallet mpin

                      Hi,

                      I am facing an issue while trying to change my mpin as it has been blocked. I know, what is my pin but its been blocked previously so want an attempt to login again or change it with the details.

                      Issue:
                      1. I dont know what is the first name. Last name or dob. Whether it's asking details of my adhaar card when i did my kyc or something else.

                      2. I know my mpin. As you know, it's in blocked status so what is the best way to get my mpin access back.[i have my wallet money inside that. Urgent]

                      Thanks,

                        I have an airtel dth connection which i do not use much due to availability of content at much cheaper prices online. I am trying to relocate to a different house and in case i need to shift my connection, i am supposed to pay 150 rs for disconnecting here, 250rs plus cable cost for reconnecting at my new place. This is for a service i do not use at all anymore. So i thought of asking them to disconnect. The reference no. For disconnection is 77094610 for customer id [protected]. This is when i was informed that they will take back the set top box and not give me back my money. This is utter cruelty and my deposit is stuck with them for no fault of mine.

                                Sir,
                                I have some money in my airtel payments bank.
                                I want to pay with that money but every time i try to pay with airtel money or airtel onlins debit card transaction is declined and message appear as getaway error at bank or wallet.

                                I can only recharge (Which i don't want) with this money and no other use.

                                In other words my money has stuck on my airtel payments bank. It is attached to my mobile...

                                I cant able to send sms for the past three months. I have contacted the customer care executives and explained the problem, more than 3 times. But the issue seem to be unresolved. Kindly look into this issue and do the needful. I have resetted my mobile and have tried to send sms, nothing happened. Also tried in different mobile phones.

                                Error code - 28
                                This problem has been arisen after i have changed my sim card from 3g to 4g.
