I have recharged my mobile [protected] by paying rs 499/- by credit card through my airtel app on 3rd june, 2018. The txn id is[protected]. Today is 4th june, 2018 but the recharge is still not active. I have called airtel and they convyed to me that they do not find any transaction or recharge attempt for [protected]. The txn no is of no use for the airtel help / customer care executive.

I have again charged by the same amount. This time the txn no is[protected]. This time the recharge was successful. Can I request you to refund my 499/- for the earlier transaction[protected] to my credit card?

I have inquired from my credit card provider. They have confirmed that the transaction was successful. The details are:

Transaction Date - 3 Jun, 2018
Settlement Date - 4 June, 2018
Amount - Rs. 499.00
Authorisation Code - 939736
ARN - 75178108154580553300660

This means that Airtel received the money but did not provide the intended service.

When contacted, your local Airtel Manager Mr. Dheeraj, Manager, Airtel Office, Vikram Square, near Footi Kothi, , Footi Kothi Rd, Gumasta Nagar, Scheme 71, Indore, Madhya Pradesh 452009 didn't pay any attention. This is the reason for which I had to write this complaint. Your staff and officers must be customer oriented in this fierce age of competition.

Please either refund the money to my credit card or add balance of Rs. 499 to my mobile number [protected].

    We have paid the amount for the connection through a cheque. That cheque has not been deposited and without our knowledge they have cut the telephone and broadband connection. It’s been 9 days since they cut the connection. After repeated calls and messages also there is no response from any of the resource people.
    It is high time you take this problem into consideration and activate the connection as soon as possible.

    Wrong number[protected] has been recharged with 499 rs instead of
    Correct number [protected]
    Order number is 52947091

        I have call airtel customer care a lot of time regarding the problem of internet on my sim but they tell different issue all the time some time mantanice, about 3g and 4g network. Airtel says that it is the fastest network in india but i will say that it is the slowest and not working network in the india. Airtel company should be closed. Other company are better than airtel

          This is to bring the pathetic behaviour of airtel employees under notice. I ported my number from airtel to vodafone due to network unavailablity. Post that i used to receive 5-7 calls from airtel on daily basis to port it back again to airtel.in spite of telling them every time that i donot need airtel they did not stopped calling me at any hour of the day from different numbers. Being into rotational shifts during my night shifts when i am half dead during day they call with their same frequency and expected the customer to be polite every time. Yesterday when i asked the representative from airtel that i did not want it he transferred my call to his senior and he literally used all bullied terms and it went dirty. So he shared my number with all different profiles like teachers, doctor, helper, restaurant etc and since yesterday night i have got 40+ whatsapp ping and calls. If someone does not want to be part of their network they do all this crap to irritate and annoy the customers now.. My family members back at home town all had airtel and now i will make sure my friends and family should switch to any other network as we never know when they will be trapped in such situation. Taking this to a next level now. One such example is below.

              Hi,
              I have raised a request on 2nd june 2018 for broadband disconnection. Request reference number is 96654588. I have cleared the dues and so far no action taken and when i contacted the customer care, they told it'll be disconnected in 7 days and also they said i'll receive a call. But i have not received any call so far. This is the same story i'm keep hearing from them. Please disconnect immediately.

                I raised a request for a broad band n land line connection. They came to my place n collected my documents n 500rupees in cash on 21st may 2018. It was told to me that connection will be installed in 48 hours but nobody visited again, neither i got any call. Whenever i called the customer care centre i was told it will be done in next 24 hours for sure n finally on 2nd june i was told that for some technical reasons it's not possible. I don't understand why you advertise so much if you are not competent enough technically even. Why your team couldn't assess the feasibility before collecting my documents n money? You people call so many times for new connections, is it not responsibility to call n tell yourself that it's not feasible n refund the money you have taken. The site that was told to me to get refund doesn't work. Will any one tell me how i will get refund.

                  Soon after i recharged my airtel account today (June 3, 2018) at 9:00 pm, i got a message at 9:05 pm from airtel (At-airinf) that namkeen pack services has been renewed rs. 35.00 from my airtel mobile for 7 days. Surprisingly, i never opted for or sent activation request for namkee pack service. On calling airtel, i could not get a satisfactory reply. The customer service lady kept on telling that it was activated by some web service or so, and that airtel do not have any information on that. She told that i could stop the service by sending an sms to 155223 by writing stop. I want airtel to refund my rs. 35 immediately and credit the amount to my mobile account. Airtel should also stop this fradulent practice immediately if it intends to retain its customer base.

                    Hi team,
                    I purchased a 4g hotspot device ([protected]) and it was delivered yesterday (02/06/2018). Airtel representative manoj ([protected]) delivered and confirmed that it will be working by the same evening but it is not working yet. We have paid inr 4245 and he said that bill will be delivered by email, which we did not received yet. We are trying to reach same representative but he is not receiving calls and not responding to messages. We tried to reach customer care through 121 and 198, but everyone is saying that this is not our department and most funniest thing is they provided one number which is personal number for one of airtel customer.

                    Very pathetic service from airtel. We feel like being cheated and looted.
                    Please refund my money.in future i dont want to use any airtel products or services and will suggest to each of my friends.

                    Today even Airtel service centre (Hosa Road ) denied the service and asked to get a new SIM rather .

                    So in a way it would mean that I forgot amount of INR 4245 and take new SIM from them, so very unprofessional .

                    They are not ready to register the complaint too and saying that you bought it online from Airtel site so ask them only for help .

                    Actually none of Airtel employees are ready for help, they just want to complete target of fooling the customers .

                    Regards,

                        The airtel signal is not reaching our locality and there are more than a couple of houses which face this problem. We have to always come out of our house and run to the street for taking a call. We believe airtel would take this seriously and act fast. Other networks are reaching here and only with airtel, we have this problem. With the kind of reputation your company has, these kind of trivial issues can dent your brand image in the long run. I request you to take immediate action.

                            Hello,
                            I am airtel customer from 1 year. Recently i have converted it postpaid account for 499/- plan. I was paying my bills each month. Last month i was out of the station and sim was not with me, so unable to pay my bills. When return and see my bills got doubled ~1500/-. I requested them to reduce the bill amount but they keep on calling daily 20/30 calls. It was really frustrating and sent few emails to them to stop calling. I was waiting for there replies but they disconnected network. I decided to pay the amount billing amount now there is no network. How shall pay the bill and activate my number?

                            Thanks.

                                      Hello team,

                                      I have been gold customer for airtel prepaid since last 8 years and now i preferred to change my services to postpaid as your 499 offer seemed very good and after changing my services i could see that this is worst service i ever had with airtel since last tenure although i should pay 3 times the amount of prepaid uses with same benifits in postpaid, i preferred for the airtel secure and amazon prize free subscription and upon my continuous requests i got the subscription for prime and now while enquiring its seems that my mobile oneplus 5t is applicable for airtel secure which seems funny for not supporting the lastest models in market. And i have faced issues during address verification for multiple times which got cancelled.

                                      I would like have any reasonable answer for the same as i have asked some of friends to change to airtel with these offers. Please don't fool your loyal customers inspite of this 4g competition with your market rivals.

                                      Best regards,

                                      Venkat peddi
