Dear airtel,
It completely pains me to write this email to you in complete displeasure that being a very premium client of your services for more than four years and yet i am not all satisfied with your conduct and services rendered towards me,
This mail refers to an online purchase of handset (Galaxy note 8) bought at your online portal (www.airtel.in) with order id[protected] on down payment of rs.9490/- (Nine thousand four hundred and ninety only) through net banking by sbi bank a/c no (Confidential) dated 20.06.2018,
I was promised to have received the order and the handset at my billing address at lucknow, uttar pradesh by 25.06.2018.
It may completely surprise and shock both o[censored]s that i haven't received the order till date nor did i have any hopes of receiving it any time soon,
I have been informed that the package has been duly dispatched and should reach me by 25.06.2018. It was later informed (Not at all communicated earlier) that the package shall only be realised on my biometrics and delivered to me on time.
To a complete shock and surprise for both o[censored]s the delivery has been outsourced to a another company who by its conduct and act is completely irresponsible and non-professional in nature, the delivery person did not even pay a heed to reach me at my residence even once at my place though your portal and sms send on my registered no. Portrays that it was out for delivery on the very day. I received a call from the delivery person via his mobile no. (+91 [protected]) that the package cannot be delivered as their lies a online software malware by which the finger print scanner or the device of biometrics cannot be processed. Henceforth i have to visit their office for the same and collect the handset in person. I was in between a travel where i had to take up a urgent flight to lucknow and reached their office on 28.06.2018, with hopes to take up the package i was asked to wait for several hours and make numerous visits to the office all day long to receive the same, said number of calls were also made to the concerned zonal office heads and person in charge only to realise that same software malware is occurring from three days and hence package cannot be released i offered my self attested adhaar card in lieu of it but with no success and after eight hours of visits and waiting at the office i was asked to leave for it cannot be delivered or handed over to me. I am completely frustrated and saddened with your unruly and rude behaviour which i have received from you and your office employ which at times cannot be even defined in words.
I am left with no other option but to file a registered complaint against you over this and moreover a legal proceedings before the concerned hon'ble consumer forum in this regard for the physical displeasure/ mental trauma and agony i faced all day along and all these days
Its complete harassing someone to make numerous visits to office for receiving own parcel and package only to realise after three days of such mental harassment and trauma that nothing at all cannot be processed.
I hereby wish for an early disposal of the matter at your end and i look forward for your support over this before filing an official complaint and take appropriate legal proceedings and court case against you.

Thanks & regards,

Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
I am frequently getting sms informing that call charges for some duration is charged with Rs. 0.00, although no call was initiated.

Either this spam sms should be stopped or the service provider should give details of the calls.

        Airtel has started value added service whatsmob without my consent and deducted money. This is unfair and illegal. Request to stop such practice and refund my deducted money.
        My mobile is prepaid.
        This has become a standard practice of airtel. Too many such complaints.
        If such practice continues, we will have no alternate except to leave airtel and go to some other company..

            I am writing this after a huge disappointment from airtel services. They auto activated a pack of some 6t seconds wap by deducting some amount from my balance. I never initiated the requested for this.

            The worst thing is that when i tried calling customer services to stop this service and get the refund, was really annoyed on the failure to connect to their executive. The long list of the ivr options is just a pain in the # and that also when you are still not able to find your relevant option. I am trying to connect to them since yesterday afternoon.

            Other disappointment is the poorest network in a well-known location in chandigarh which is my work location.

            Really i never expected this kind of service from airtel.

              My airtel digital tv id no.[protected] was recharged for rs.357/- by using my netbanking facility on 24th june 2018, the very next day they have suspended my account. On seeing this, i called the customer care exceutive to know the details, they intentionally disconnect the the line without giving proper reply, again called them and hold about 20 minutes to attend the customer rep and finally one replied me that your recharged amount wrongly credited some unknown pack and recharge again to watch the channel, he also disconnect the line. Again i called them wasting my 45 minutes one customer rep on line told, the amount wrongly credited will be refunded within 24 hours,.
              Today is 28th june 2018 and today evening i tried several times, to call a rep but they disconnecting the line intentionally for not giving the reply. Kindly find the reason why these people are doing like this and take proper action against them

                Number [protected] barred for not paying bill for another no. I was given plan for 4 months for [protected] of rs.2000 total. Once 4 months completed automatic rs.2000 per month plan was activated. This is clear cheating to customer to give attactive plans and charge them enormously without informing. Now customer care is harrasing me and asking me to pay 4500 to activate my current no. As this no bill not paid my no [protected] barred. And pathetic responses im getting from customer. 1 person said pay 1000 i will settle and activate. Once i paid it did not still get activated and another person says pay 2600 and settle. Itd sad how an old customer who never has defalted is being harresed like this.

                          I received call from your various partners for porting additional number of my son. I asked one of them to take it forward. She promised that in my existing family plan of 649/- in addition to existing child number, I can add additional number without any additional rental. I realise later that Your business partner has cheated me by giving wrong information to port my sons mobile number [protected] under family plan. As per pre porting discussion she promised no additional rentals for adding this second child number with my number [protected]. After porting formalities she changed the communication and informed that there will be additional rental of 199.

                          Refer the attached screenshot.

                          Needs conclusive action to be taken
                          Airtel agents are taking us for granted...

                          Someone should put a control on this uncontrolled game
                          I would be interesting to see what action Airtel is going to take on such unethical business practices...
                          I received call from Airtel. Only lip service without any action. They have not yet taken my complaint.

                                    Hi this is priti an airtel user.
                                    From last few days i am getting messages from a$-tfarot dat [call cost is 0.30 duration 10.30 bal. 0.00].
                                    This is deducting my balance. If this continues i will stop using airtel.
                                    There so many complaints i see on the same and no has any clue who is sending this sms or how its been triggering. This is annoying. Company should take this seriously. Please ask them to fix this as soon as possible.
                                    If this continues company may lose customers.
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                      Though i didn't activate the adof games subscription they activated it and and rs 120 get deduced from my balance and when i connected to help line number, they commented that your balance wool be refunded and some if them said that it wouldn't and today when i called them after one day then they said that your balance wouldn't be refunded... What the hell.. Without any action of activation from our side they reduced the balance on their own... Is this what they do with customers... Really hateful airtel...!!!

                                        Internet is not working, although the system shows it is connected to internet, unable to open even the basic websites like google. Can't even open the airtel dongle homepage. The connection has been like this for last three days, dated 25th june, 2018. Network coverage shows availability of airtel 4g network on my mobile but the dongle isn't working anymore. Please check it asap or kindly shutdown my connection.
