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,

    Nitin Pal

        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

                            Actually normally most of time i m using Jio SIM, but some time I need to use airtel for calling my mom in Tibet, so whenever I recharged balance within some hours all balances deducted automatically. So I m completely upset and horrible. Why Airtel company deducte balance without notice. It is so bad n unfair trade practice.

                                  This is in reference to my earlier complaint dated 24/5/2018 regarding mobile no.[protected]. On pursuance of the same through customer care i was assured of refund of rs 249 within 7 days of the transaction. However no refund has been received till date. Added to this i received a call from a person who claimed to be the company representative asking me for my debit card details and also subtly asking for my bank balance. He also requested for removal of complaint from this forum.
                                  Upon informing him that the transaction was through net banking and not through debit card he kept on insisting for debit card details.
                                  If the company intends to refund should not the bank account number and ifsc details suffice? Why insistence on debit card details when transaction was not made through it.
                                  I would be grateful if the matter is examined seriously and i am saved of further harrassment

                                    I've been using airtel 4g sim in my 4g enabled smartphone and i recharger with rs 448/- to get 1.4 gb free per day. Everything was going great. The internet data speed was awesome. But for past 3-4 days, the speed is way too low. Only able to refresh whatsapp and that too takes significant time. Speedtest. Mobi app showing download speed of around 0.1 mbps.

                                    Why all of sudden the speed got this low and that too for 3-4 days now?

                                      Hi,

                                      It has been really sad to observe the worst ever services from airtel with lame excuses. I bought an airtel secure plan in the month of apr'18.
                                      I have never been careless in my handling of the phone, however i met with an accident and my device got damaged due it. I applied for the claim and my device was picked up for inspection after verifying all my documents. Now after 10 days they come up with an excuse saying my battery is not genuine and it cannot be claimed. What a lame excuse. At the first place my battery is not removable and i have never faced a battery issue to give it for repair. I was following up with them to prove that my battery is genuine but they are not responding. Because the serial number on the battery cannot fool anyone if it's genuine.
                                      I have raised this issue with customer care multiple times over phone. Wrote multiple emails on this fraudulent excuses to skip the claim to the following email id's: [protected]@oneassist.in,
                                      [protected]@airtel.com, [protected]@airtel. Oneassist.in.
                                      But there is no response.
                                      I request you to look into concern as after 10 days of rigorous follow up i could register my claim and after 7days of picking the device, i have been told that claim connot be done. I have not taken this secure services from insurance provider and i dont want to hear their lame excuses. I am going to proceed with legal option if not taken my request seriously.

                                      Hoping to hearing from you soon

                                        I am an airtel post paid customer for last 10 years. I wanted to switch from post paid to pre paid mobile no[protected]. Therefore, i went to airtel store at bf 40, salt lake, kolkata 700 064. Today's was my 3 visit to thew store. There were no customer at the store. Person in-charge of the store was busy in his personal job. After half an our he attended me. After completing all formalities he told me to sign on a form. I put my signature on the form. Then he told that all the alphabet of the name are not part of signature, therefore this is not a valid signature and form can not be take. I am unable to understand why a store sales person can decide how i need to sign on form. It can be fill or in initials. If person like this fool become store in-charge to serve customer how he can survive. I appear that his only aim was to refuse me as i wanted to convert from post paid to prepaid.

                                        This type of mad person should be properly trained to deal with customer.
