Hi AIRTEL Team,

I checked your Airtel website today and recharged Rs 399 plan(1.4Gb date+ unlimited calls for 84 days)However when I recharged it gave me same plan with only 1Gb data per day...I rechecked from the website however its still showing me the same plan..Please provide the same plan as mentioned on your website. As its fraud as per SECTION 415, 421-424 & 420 OF INDIAN PENAL COURT. I am attaching the screenshot of the plan offered on the website. I'm lodging a leagal complaint in TRAI & Delhi High court as well as well, Will soon, share the legal complaint number as well .

    ICON value added service from Airtel is activated on mobile without any prior notification or approval from my side.
    This service is renewed automatically after 7 days. I got a message from Airtel on 18th May, saying that this service is activated on my mobile and they deducted Rs.35.
    I came to know this on 29th as I haven't seen that message.
    The service automatically renewed on 25th May and another 24 rupees deducted from my balance.
    Airtel has not taken any permission from me to activate this and renew it.
    When I called customer care on 29th, they said amount cannot be refunded as it must be done within 24 hours.

      On 13th May, I have called the airtel customer care to inquire about international call package for France. The executive told me about two package which weren't quite what was I looking for and did not opt for any. However, a package of 2999 was activated on 17th May without my knowledge and consent and the consequence of which I have my bill amount rising to 4000 for this month. Second thing, I did not use my phone for incoming or outgoing or internet throughout my travel from 14 to 20th then on what basis I am being charged 4000 for May month.
      I don't expect airtel to cheat their customers like that and not willing to pay for this scam.

        Hi, my customer id for my airtel dth is [protected]-001. Every if i recharge after the disconnection date, they are charging 15 rupees. Mine is prepaid connection. If the last day exceeded, they will disconnect. So, there should not be any charge. If it is post paid connection, i can agree that because they will provide service even after the last payment date but in the case of prepaid connection, it is not applicable. It's up to user wish whether he do recharge or not. He can do recharge at anytime and use the prepaid connection. When i called customer service they said that they have it in terms and conditions but i could not get the details about late fee even in google. How can a common man get to know when they take the connection

            It is my second time that i am complaining against poor network of airtel. There has been no action taken and our office is still facing the problem of no wi-fi (Internet) connection. We tried to reach to customer service executive but even they are not interested and is casually handling the situation. It's really horrible service of airtel. After paying full amount. It is o[censored]seless and people are not cooperative. From last 4days we are facing the same problem. Please take strict action against airtel.

            I stay in Bangalore 6th cross kagadassapaura road. I hardly can use internet at day and evening time. Only after 11:30 at night I get some speed. Whats the point in recharging with 400 bucks every month when I can't use it. The internet is not even slow. It just stops.
            We have airtel costmer since 6year, now days here no internet in our location

                  I have recharged to my mobile rc 449 but the amount was not reflected in the airtel app and no message from the airtel. So i have waited for 1 day even though its not reflected so i have recharged after a day with amount 448. It was succeeded and reflected as soon as recharge done. But when i am asking airtel its saying 449 and 448 both are done. If 449 was done why your app is not reflecting it.
                  Because o[censored]sing airtel app as reference i lost 449 rupees. So, i hate airtel for doing such worst kind of things and i want to port out.

                      wrong billing - international roaming

                      Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560075

                      I travelled to the us on april 28th. During my travel i have picked up matrix card for my international calling. Airtel has activated international roaming - incoming calls free option with rs. 3999 as monthly charge.

                      Airtel has not notified me about activating the roaming charges on my account. Total bill amount came upto rs. 5.195.

                      From the time i have discovered about wrong charge, i have started calling...

                      I am using airtel number from past 5years. But somehow from last few days facing network issues and worst services. Recently, my account is debited with 300inr for the service i did not opt fo (Whatsmob service). It's getting activated and renewed again n again on my mobile number without my knowledge.
                      Please stop this service on my number and refund the amount for last 2 months. I don't even know what this service is about!!!

                        Hi sir/madam,
                        My airtel prepaid number is [protected].
                        For past 3 months am facing a problem in outgoing calls and sms.
                        Not even a single call or sms is going for me. Call gets disconnected immediately after dial-in i visited nearly 4 to 5 airtel customer service centre they are not able to fix my problem. I tried sim swapping for 3 times still issue persist. Could you please fix this problem for me. It would be great if you resolve my problem asap.
                        Attached a video for reference.

                        Regards,
                        Sundar r

                            Hi sir/mam,

                            I did a recharge through airtel app for rs.399 today (29/05/2018) to a wrong number: [protected] instead of recharging the right number: [protected]. Can you please help me in reverting the recharge from the wrong number to the correct number: [protected] for the same amount 399.

                            Trans id:[protected].

                            Please do the needful.

                            Thanks,

                              Respected sir,
                              I recharged my airtel prepaid number [protected] on 27/05/18. Since it was a special recharge they transferred that balance to some dedicated account and not the main account. And when i called the customer support helpline, they refused to transfer that balance to my main account saying that this is not possible. Since, i am already having my number recharged with unlimited plan of 399 for 84 days which will expire on 19 august 2018, i cannot use those rs. 440 of my dedicated account that are going to expire on 9 june 2018. Upon calling, the customer care executive just repeat the words "we told you about the details and benefits of your plan, thank you for being with airtel".
                              I request you to pay attention towards my problem and find a solution because rs. 440 is a quite expensive for me.

                                  I am getting error that your bank has detained the transaction while using online card.
                                  They are cheating and costumer care is of no use and they are not solving it.

                                    Hi,

                                    Despite so many communications, i receive a auto email that my number is disabled.
                                    My and my wife's numbers are linked to adhaar card and they had balance in them. How can a number be disconnected without any intimation.

                                    It would be helpful if you can enable my number. All my work in bank and other places is stuck as this is my linked number

                                    Thanks
                                    Chinmay
