I have raised my disconnection request for my Land Line number. Airtel customer care person said they deactivated my bill cycle and process will take for 7 days. I got a call after 2 days from airtel person. They would like to offer a new plan. I said I am not interested. Without my consent, they send a bill for the new plan

I told them clearly that I have opted for ACT broadband services. Even though, I requested for disconnection. Simply, Airtel person changed my plan. Do I need to pay for the profits of Airtel? Without my consent, how can they change my plan? They said I have given confirmation. I told them to verify your call records. the very bad attitude of Airtel. I am going to disconnect my postpaid mobile connection also.
Thanks!

    I visited saibaba colony branch at coimbatore tamilnadu...
    When i was in office an old person who had to convert his number from postpaid to prepaid visited the same office.
    He was confused with the plans and conditions told to him. So as an old man he had to raise his voice to the customer service executive. All of a sudden mr. Arunkumar s who was the manager of the concerned office raised his voice f3lling that he also will get angry which is not a proper way to handle the customer. I would request you to kindly advice your executive to handle customer in a right manner

        Yesterday midnight at 01:06 am, airtel activated gamesuite, without my concern. Early, morning i had seen the messages regarding the same. They had deducted an amount of rs. 35.00 from my main account balance, illegally.

        Immediately i deactivated the said service.

        Hope this is the latest scam of airtel, to earn money illegally from its customers.

        Please take immediate action and i want my refund back.

        It may look so small to you, but if you imagine that airtel had done the same with 1, 00, 000 customer's all over india. They earned 35, 00, 000.00 in a span of minutes.

        I had good faith in you, that's why complaining here.

            My number is [protected] and i have recently ported to airtel from vodafone. I still haven't received my amazon prime membership as promised also i'm facing major network problems and call drops. This is the pathetic service i'm receiving from airtel. Vodafone was much better than airtel. This is the third day i'm using airtel in andheri and facing such bad network problems. I want to switch from airtel with immediate effect.

              Sir, i would like to bring to your urgent notice that i have been visiting airtel store regularly in sarabha nagar market, ludhiana. This time i have experienced sexual harrassment by one of the male staff for the first time. Few daysback when i went to get some new prepaid connection. One of the staff a male mr harman helped me in getting me a new connection. But when i came back home he started following me unnecessarily, by calling me, sending me hi, hello messages continuously. When i asked him why he was calling me, he started telling me useless reasons. He got all my number details, and is sending me messages on all my no. S. This is really one of my cheap experience with such a reputed company
              Please take urgent action against him else i have to submit this complaint in police station soon.

                Further to my earlier complain on short date gb credit, i tried calling up customer complain 198 it went to another state they gave me a direct no o[protected] and again i had to repeat pressing keys 1_2_2_9_6_9_1 reached a dead end, phone went dead.
                I don't know why airtel makes it so difficult to reach their customer complain desk for prepaid. I have yet to reach them by phone though my email complain to [protected]@airtel.com was replied stating i need to mention mobile no on the sub line, though i had mentioned in the body of the letter, reverted to them accordingly and still waiting to get the short credit. And response.

                        i would like to know if my free data validity expired then how it is being reflected in my account.it is unfair to charge without informing about expiring of data or whatever.
                        your customer care denied to revert it back by calling back on same day after my complaint.
                        Please do needful otherwise i have to think about another service provider.
                        I am attaching here a screen shot of my accumulated free data in My Airtel App

                          Hello

                          I had raised a request for re-installation of DTH service due to address change, it has been 8 days where I have been calling at least twice a day to get the re-installation done. As of now the service is not done, the customer care executives are hopelessly helpless, they don’t have any damn clue what’s really going on. The so called service engineers on the ground are just fooling around and giving any damn excuse to close the tickets. All the time I have been promised a supervisor will call me and look into this, but again that’s in vain.With this age and technology I am still not sure how you guys are making business with this type of lame service. I have been waiting for the calls for a week now, neither the so called supervisors or the so called service engineer are bothered to give a call and taking an effort to get this done.
                          I have paid for the service till March next year, which is undoubtedly the stupidest thing I have done, hence I am going to post in all the social media not to opt for this long term trap.
                          So please process the request to refund my money and close this damn account.

                            The 4G network condition of Airtel has become very pathetic since 9-10 days. I cannont even browse any page properly. The speed of the 4G internet has become much more slower than 3G. So i request you, kindly fix it up ASAP. Otherwise i will have to change my network operator. 😏

                              Today, I recharged my mobile for Rs 399, the plan offered was 2.4 GB data with unlimited roaming calls. even the agent at the counter confirmed while recharging.
                              On recharge Airtel initially send SMS for same as under
                              Congrats All Unlimited calls +100 sms/day+2.4GB/day for 84 days is activated. FREE Airtel TV Click get.airtel.tv

                              But credited me with only 1.4 GB and subsequently send an sms as under
                              All India Unlimited Calls+daily 1.4GB & 100 SMS, 84 days is credited. Best recharges dial 505( Toll Free)

                              I am awaiting for their response. Their customer service numbers have no no to talk to customer support only pre recorded Ivc numbers available. It's time regulatory authorities insist mobile operators to provide easily accessible customer support numbers to users to register their complain, .

                                Airtel advertises that it is fastest 4G network but I'm not getting 2G speed itself.airtel is advertising for its speed test.let that network do their speed test in my home.it is also advertising that it has network coverage even in remote areas.im residing in centre of the town but no network coverage.pleaae ask this airtel network to solve this problem or refund my recharge amount.very poor network connectivity.

                                I am unable to experience high speed internet from hotspot due to poor network coverage even though it shows that coverage is excellent in my area. people around me using 4g hotspot are experiencing the same issue . I hope you can look in this matter as early as possible.

                                    I had applied for an airtel secure. I got a call and someone asked me to add basic description, once i did that, i got a call back saying that i had to add description like, where the phone fell & what time and what height. Once i did that, i got a call back saying that clam is rejected because of improper usage.

                                    This is absolutely unacceptable. Worst customer service. Might be moving away from airtel after being a loyal customer for 15 years.

                                    Please help me solve this
                                    Dear sir I have block my airtal payment bank for unknown reasons and I want to reopen it so plz help me to do my account unblock

                                      I am following for my complaints to airtel since last one year and I had also written mails to their RM Mr. Manish Bindra, still no response from their side from last one month. Contacted customer care also but they also fail to provide any solution. My complaints are pending from 17th June 2017. I had raised complaints from my official mobile no [protected] as well as from personal no [protected]. We are corporate customer with 100+ connections. Neither local official are giving any proper response. I want mail id of National Head so I may forward the trail mail which will be self explanatory. My official mail id if [protected]@dunacmotors.com
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
