I activated a plan for call rate 1p/sec (Airtel). But plan not worked then i call customer care then he said your phone in roaming so plan can't work.
Then i ask for any other way so i can use my main account balance (94). Operator said that if your account balance is 99 or above he can activate 99 rs plan from main balance.
But when i recharge my balance to 100 and call back to customer care then he/she refused to do so.
So, i am very dissatisfied with that type of fraud service by customer care (Airtel).

    Hello,
    I attempted to recharge my prepaid airtel no. +91 [protected] on 14 jun, 2018. I selected the rs.249 package and paid twice (I wanted to recharge twice for a balance of rs.498). I received 2 messages in which the txn ids and recharge amount were mentioned. It was written that the recharge had been initiated. A day has passed, still my balance is rs. 0 and 1 paise (I used 121 i. E the customer care number to get an sms containing the details of my account balance). I request you to recharge my account balance or initiate a refund for the 2 transactions of rs.249 each, at the earliest.

    My email id: gunjan. [protected]@gmail.com

      Hello,

      Sub: value added services activated without any request

      Today all of the sudden rs 35/- deducted without any request for some namkeenpack. I don't even have an idea what is this vas and never requested any such service today or even in past 10+ years. I called customer care but they are saying we can only deactivate the service. But they should understand when customer is calling them with 5 min of such message, how he can request any such bakwas service.

      This is totally fraud.

      Regards,
      Manish

                I have been trying to get a postpaid connection of airtel from past 3 days and they just come back with a response that it will be given in next 24 hours which has not happened yet. I wonder how the associates can take such things so lightly. Isn't this a revenue to the company which they are letting go for no reason? Highly demotivated and casual attitude customer care who had no responsibility to help me to get a postpaid connection. On the website, they are promising delivery and activation within 24 hours and i am here waiting for some associate to call me to give a confirmation from past 3 days. I will never approach airtel ever again! Worst service provider ever.

                Airtel has not even intimated me before that. I have given number to multiple places, I am using this number in past 6 to 7 years.

                          On 2nd of June 2018 we recharged 2999. This we did after calling the airtel customer care. They said just download the airtel app and follow the procedures . We did exactly what the app showed us. We opted the country Switzerland were we were about to go on 3rd. So just before 24 hours we recharged 2999 for international roaming. When we reached Zurich on 4th the sim did not catch any tower. We were in a lot of trouble as we did not have any other working sim. So we had to purchase another sim over there. Now after coming back we called the customer care and now they say that as this was the first time that the sim was moving out of the country it had to be registered under some ivr or something to which I told them why was this information not given to us before? They had nothing to say on this as they were completely dumb. Really feel sorry for airtel because such monstrous brand swallows we like small customers without a burp. I want a refund (2999) of the amount they had charged for this chaos. Airtel should be banged completely as they are fooling people like us and looting money. Lost faith in airtel completely.

                            Dear Airtel Customer service,

                            I have had a Airtel prepaid number since 2006/2007 almost for 10+ years. My last topup was in Dec 2017 and was receiving messages till last month May 2018.

                            Now my number suddenly not working and when I called, someone attended & said he got it as new number.I am not sure how my number given to someone else when I am actively using it. Please guide me how to get my number back as I have attached that number to my and wife bank accounts and my children school records.

                            PLEASE HELP. Thank you in advance.

                            PS: You can contact me replying to this complain, so I can then provide to alternate contact like email address or other contact number. I am not mentioning the contacts here, because this is public forum information.

                              I am a customer of Airtel. My mobile No. is [protected]. I have been using Airtel since last 5 years. Today an amount of Rs.75/- has been unauthorisedly and unethically deducted from my account on the ground that WHATSMOB has been activated in my Mobile. .. I have not made any request for activation of WHATSMOB.

                              Please solve the issue & take step for return of my hard earn money.
                              Thank Q.

                                  I have problem with my digitial TV service (Signal problem). I have registered a complaint on 5th of june with airtel. It is been 10 days, they did not fix it. Every day i call the customer care people, and their supervisors promise me that they will surely fix it that particular day. I even mailed the issue to their nodal department, but still there is no action from their side. My registered complaint number is # [protected].

                                  I am a platinum customer and i have paid money for 1 year at a time.Please suggest what can i do?
