Hi, i have swapped postpaid sim to prepaid [protected] in airtel store, chrompet, chennai. They asked me to pay 399 to do 399 plan recharge. But, after prepaid sim activation they haven't done the recharge for 5 days. So i have done recharge for rs. 100. Later they are telling 399 recharge will not work if i do rs 100 recharge. I am also not getting proper response or money from them.

My Airtel DTH connection is not working from last 3 days & nobody is helping me. Your customer care service is pathetic, nobody had visited my house in last 3 days for rectification of this small problem. May be you are a big company but your customer care is pathetic & your services are pathetic too. I am your 5 years old customer & having 3 connections in my house of yours and if you guys are treating your old customers like this. Please let us know, we will remove your connection from my house and recommend others also to do the same. Please let me know what should i do.My connection no. is [protected]

HI from past two months i have been facing airtel network connectivity issue whenever complained to customer care or at the store they were just saying its a technical issue we are upgrading it to 5G that's why its lagging

and he advices me to use it in 3G mode as the problem will be less, so the airtel is fooling us charging for 4G Service and asking to use 3G service..?

Today(11-june-2018) at 11.00Am all of a sudden my phone has no signals its showing as NO SERVICE, after that i tried all the possible ways like switch on/off, changing sim and reinserting, checking network in automatic and manual mode but everything went in vain
then finally i visited a airtel store at kharkhana secunderabad. there to my surprise the executive informs its happening from past 10-15 days daily we are getting 40-50 customers he termed it as "Technical glitch" and he said dont use 4G as it will continue when you use that service
After it he asked me to provide my details and he swapped the sim with a new one and charged me 25rs/- saying sim swap charges i asked him that its an internal sim issue why should i pay then he said its being charged from company and after my payment he is forcing me too take the offers which airtel is offering to its customer to merge the family number into one family plan he was giving all blah blah and now still my mobile has no service in it by this i have faced a lot off issue requesting to solve ASAP

Hi team,

I got an issue with airtel 995 recharge. I got such an issue that i wish to leave airtel and look for some other provider. This is not the way of dealing with a customer. I, as a customer request to improve your process and re-define it.

Initially, a month back or so. I donot remember the date exactly. I called to customer care for 995 recharge and as per suggestions, i have done the recharge. And i thought airtel is giving me nice offers. But, after this recharge, my problems started in bulk.

In my airtel app, i use to see the data balance, how many days remaining in this recharge and all those stuff. After 995 recharge, nothing is being displayed. I called to customer care and updated my issue. Later on, i got update like this - "as this is new recharge value, looks like system is not upgraded accordingly. We raise this issue with our backend team and make this corrected. I felt very happy and after 3 days or so, i was able to view the recharge amount and also remaining days like 360 or so.

Since few days, i was unable to view those in my airtel app. And i am in assumption that i may get alert or notification if my usage is high on data. As far as i remember, i didn't see any notification like that. I was seriously trying internet since morning, but it is not being connected. It was not being connected. And i was totally failed to use internet as i was using this airtel network. I failed because there was no notification or alert. And i started browsing continuously. And i got a notification like below which looks very irrelevant to me. And when i used the option"*121*11#". It directed me for offers but not my usage. (Refer to image 1)

Notification"data usage alert: you have used 10mb data from your main account. For info on data packs, dial *121*11#"

If my airtel app shows me my usage as before, i wouldn't have wasted my internet usage. Instead, i would have used my wifi.

Additional to this - customer care agents & supervisor.

Previous supervisor/agent updated me that i would see my usage in airtel app directly. And i was fixed to that and use to monitor that. Suddenly, it was gone one day. I am not sure why this has happened. No notification to me on this.

Recent supervisor, he is guiding me another process on how to check data balance. If this correct, why previous agent/supervisor mis-guided me? If previous agent/supervisor said correctly, why recent agent (Das) mis-guided me? Further, he agreed that there is no process of raising complaint on previous agent/supervisor (Whom a customer speaks). There should be some process defined for raising complaint on such issues. Why it was not there?

And today (23 - may - 2018 12:18 pm) spoke with swathi n. Just listen to this recording. Airtel will be knowing how they are responding to the customers. This is not the first time for me.

Additional to this: connecting customer care calls

For connecting these calls, we need to strive for long waits. It would be a minimum of 30 minutes to connect to customer care. And again that is chargeable. Is this the way airtel treats their customers?

Its not matter of 36/-. Its the time and belief on airtel. I was using the same number since 2009. We are in 2018 now. Its almost 9 years. I never changed my number nor requested for some porting options. Still, airtel is playing with customers like me.

At 4.48 PM on 11.06.2018, suddenly i got an SMS that i have been charged Rs.35 for activation of GLAMOURZONE on my Airtel Mobile. Again one SMS came at 4.54 PM on 11.06.2018 conveying that GLAMOURZONE service has been activated.

When i checked balance amount of Rs.35/- was deducted. As i had not requested for any such service, i called the customer care. They said that i had sent SMS requesting them to start the service. This is ridiculous.

When i asked the customer care executive to register my complain, he denied taking any such complain. He also denied to tell his full name and told only his first name as "Soheb". I got clueless. He said he can not register complain but no deduction will be made in future.

Though the amount is less, it is an unethical practice and needs to be addressed.

Hi all,

Anu durai (Airtel store employee) has submitted fake degree certificate for joining as employee in airtel. Y i'm complaining now means there are many people's including me who done there degree and still they are waiting for job. After checking anu durai degree certificate if you found as fake certificate surely you will terminate him amf that job will go for someone who's waiting for a job. If you didn't take any action against him i will file complaint in court /media against anu durai (Airtel store employee) and airtel for encouraging like this employee.

Note: if you have any doubt about fake certificate. You can check with lokesh (Airtel store employee at brookfield, bangalore). Lokesh helped and durai to get this job in airtel. Any enquiry about anu durai fake degree you can check with his friend whether he done degree or not.. I'm mentioning anu durai friend's contact number just for reference -

Thanks

This is the worstest network ever i used till now. Just stop you fake advertisment about the bestest network and all #.
I have use several networks, didnt face this type of problem ever.
Network is never available when its highly needed. No internet works. Other person can't hear my voice. Call doesn't get placed at once.
I mean nothing is right.
Whenever i get any call from your cse, if i start complaining, they will disconnect the call immediately.
You dont have that much of guts to listen to your customers complaint.

My mobile no [protected] where joytish has been activate without my consent on 04/06/2018, i have requested to for deactivation, the airtel deactivated but the amt rs 35 not returened, inspite of that airtel again activated joytish 4you and again rs 35 deducted without my consent. Today the airtel again renewed joytish 4you and deducted amt rs 35 without my consent.
Now my question is that why are you cheating with my airtel balance...

I used airtel wifi router and was not working fine in my deep city inside building. Not able to use 100 mb per day. It was dead slow. I reported and asked disconnection. They disconnected and balance payment i was trying to pay online they didn't enable in my account. They sent court notice and asking for payment. They forcing to come retail office to pay rupees. And few executives called and stating like rude guy and demanding payment otherwise they will do some action against me.

This is seems airtel met heavy lose and down due to other competitors. They are suppressing customer and doing this. As my wife is lawyer i am going to make in court and will proceed.

I already published all doc in my social network.

We have been using the corporate services for more than 9 years, we have never faced this problem earlier.

As per the telecom, refer to the discussion regarding the messages popping up on the mobile no [protected] which is overseas for the business trip. As per advised by you irp 649/- pack per day is auto activated if a person travels overseas and inspite of the auto activated pack, after which on the same day we activated irp 2999/- pack and even then the messages are not stopping. The messages which were sent on the mobile is attached fyr. The constant messages are interrupting the meetings and is not able to concentrate which is leading to mental harassment, moreover our trip is getting affected.

Look into the matter and resolve on priority basis. Also note we are not going to pay a single penny

Approached airtel customer care to convert my postpaid into prepaid. Initially, they asked me to come after 2-3 days, citing reason unavailability of the bill to clear dues. After pursuing, they said ok. But now they cant adjust security deposit towards the clearance. And after pursuing a little they said ok again to adjust but now they said: "we will charge the dues as mentioned in our system" which is not actual after monthly discounts and settlement will be done via cheque later"
I mean come on, we are in the digital world and you are giving so many lame excuses just to trap customer in postpaid.

This is krishna chaitanya and my mobile number is xxxxxxx. I have got my mobile bill for the month of may as 1, 52, 610.58 rs and i was told this is due to my international roaming on april 23rd. I have got married recently and traveled to maldives on april 23rd. So at the hyderabad international airport there was one of the airtel relationship centre and the executive has told me to activate 149 pack which would allow me to get incoming...

My mom is an Airtel user and recently the issue with the network has made our life's a hell. We actually require a phone to call others or get calls. Lately, she isn't able to make calls nor getting calls. Please look into the matter as this is really annoying. And if the same thing continues we will be forced to Port to other networks.

But now in 4g network it's working one day and next day not working at vile parle address ambewadhi westrun express highway..in advertising they show sab kuch try karna chaiye.. This is my first simcard.. At least mene sab kuch try airtel me kabhi nahi lethi aise third class network hai.. I already pay rs.399 for internet recharge..

My grand mother mobile no [protected] has been charge for an un authorised transaction on 8th june 2018 at 1:58am. The games club service was activated and 55rs has been deducted from account with any prior knowledge. When i called customer care they are saying lie that a message has been send while i cant see any message in sent items as well my grand mother doesnt know how to type a message. Seriously airtel you are giving this silly exuses and said they wont refund money and person who was on other started started yelling and stope d responsing while the call went for another 1 minute without any response from their side. I want my 55rs back and initiate my refund. I have all the details of transaction.

Dear sir very bad service in airtel connection. Now i have very bad experience with airtel connection because i want to convert post paid to pre paid connection but without start of pre paid connection stop my post paid connection. My connection was stopped from 7 june 2018 to till now i was recharged rs.128 in new sim of prepaid connection that's why i have bad experience from airtel company. I liked airtel connection airtel dish but i don't like because i faced harassment. Now i have no working of prepaid or postpaid connection. I have only one sim. My airtel no is [protected]

I purchased 4g hotspot from airtel on 09/06/2018. The airtel people themselves called me and gave me the device and charged 2900 as 6 months bill. My airtel no is [protected] and that person's no (Who gave me the hotspot) is [protected]. The hotspot is not activated even after 2 days. That person is not picking my calls and his phone is switched off now.

I woke up and as any person would do checked my phone. I found that i activated whatsmob service clearly not known by me. Just to be sure i checked the time i received that message it was 3:30 am. There is no chance of me activating that service. As soon as this happened i deactivated and got deactivating message immediately but didn't receive my money back. I called the toll free number and airtel app but couldn't find any option to help me. Why is that you can send a confirming message immediately but fail to send money back? This happened to me many times but most of the time i got my money back unlike this time. I think i can observe the pattern and happens when i have relatively more balance like 1000/- or 500/-. I don't think that a big company like airtel should resort to such cheap tricks.
