This is to mention that my mother mrs mira ghosh was having the airtei mobile prepaid connection with number [protected]. Due to her demise i went to airtel office of city centre1, salt lake, kolkata two months back to transfer the number in my name (Rimi biswas). I was informed from the office that for name transfer the plan has to be changed to post paid plan and i need to carry on the plan minimum for 5 months for getting converted to prepaid again. Though initially i was not convinced but ultimately under their influence agreed to shift to the post paid plan as suggested by a counter sales man for which i need to pay rs349/month and getting the facility o[censored]nlimited call.
Now i have received sms few days back that i have been charged rs791.71 for last two months which does not match the according to the above mentioned plan explained to me. Out going call facility was stopped. Yesterday (23.5.18) i again went to the above mentioned airtel office for converting it to prepaid plan. Then they told me that i need to pay rs797 as outstanding to get converted to prepaid plan. I paid the amount immediately. Then surprisingly i received another sms immediately for paying rs 200 more which they told from above mentioned office as rental fee from 3.5.18 to 23.5.18. They again advised me to pay that rs.200 on spot for converting to prepaid plan. I did the payment immediately as advised by them but surprisingly they refused to give any bill or receipt or details against the above two payments i made. Then i received the sms that my request for converting the plan to prepaid has been accepted and from city centre 1 office they confirmed that it will be done within 4 working days. Adding to my surprise after coming back to home i got sms from customer care acknowledging the receiving of payments of two above mentioned amounts and also advised me to pay rs220.29p more as due to continue with the procedure. Under this circumstances i would request you to disconnect my line with immediate effect (24.5.2018) since i dont want to continue with airtel services any more. Moreover until and unless i get bill details with proper receipt for the above mentioned payments i made and proper bill details for the amount due i am unable to pay any amount further.
Kindly discontinue my line with immediate effect (24.5.2018).
Yesterday my case was handled by ms suparna pal.
Looking forward for your valuable cooperation.

    Hi.
    I added a no to my airtel postpaid connection after a call from your executive. The no added was a pre paid no. And it was to be chnaged to a post paid no. Now its been more than a month the sim card has not been delivered to me. There has been no follow up from your office. I had to call your office every time to ask when will the sim card be delivered. I have faced a lot of inconvience because i could not use my no. And above that i had to buy another sim card. How is this issue going to be resolved. I want to discontinue with the new scheme as well as i want my pre paid no to work as it worked before. The charges of adding the other no has been added to my postpaid bill though i never received the new sim card and the pre no is also not working since 18th april.

      Hi
      Yesterday 23-5-18 i recharged my airtel mobile number [protected] with rs.149/-
      After purchase i got confirmation message from airtel and money deducted from my bank account, but product or pack is not activated till now.
      I called customer care and asked for help
      They told "some technical issue is occurred at airtel maintenance side, we will activate your pack after 6 hours.
      But after 6 hours also pack was not activated".
      I called customer care again, they said same thing but this time they increased the time to resolve my issue to next day
      The staff were not cooperative, poor knowledgeable, don't have proper manners
      And they are not listening my issue. Instead of accepting my complaint they cut the call and denied my request.

      So i called again asked "why you guys cut the call and why you denying my request or complaint"
      They told very politely that "we have no option to cut the call but we have a special feature that is automatic call denying option at airtel executive end".
      I don't know how airtel only using this call denying feature and dropping customer calls intentionally.
      This is the work culture of airtel and tgeir employees and this is way they are behaving with customers denying complaints.
      Worst airtel customer care services.
      I don't know whom to contact bcz customer care only not listening to customer problems, then what is the use of customer care.

          I have used an internet combo offer which has ended by yesterday night. I noticed that my mobile data was switched on at 12.15am and switched off internet.

          When i check balance of my account, it was shocking. My balance has reduced from rs. 487 to rs.299. When i go to my usage on mobile, i noticed that usage is only 2mb on my mobile for today.

          Can airtel explain me how can you charge 180 rupees for usage of 2 mb? This is really pathetic and airtel is not applying the basic rates and deducting huge sum of amount for very less data usage.

          Is there any fault in their software where they take yesterday data used for next day when internet is not switched off.

          It's very pathetic and frustrating when our balance is deducted without proper reason.

          Attached a screenshot where only 2 mb is used in my data usage of mobile.

          My prepaid number is [protected]. This issue happened today morning at 12.15 am and i am raising this complaint at 12.42am on may 24th.

          It's very frustrating. Some one take this complaint and get me proper response. There is some software glitch in airtel they take yesterday data usage to next day if mobile data is not switched off

          Thanks,
          Mahesh

          I have been using this airtel network for more than 10 years. But this kind of software glitch is there in airtel data usage.

          I have had a call with airtel sometime before 6 months for same kind of issue and they asked me to switch off internet around 11.50pm itself as there would be no chance of amount deductions.

          But it's really pathetic. I can pay amount for usage from 12am of next day. Why should I pay amount for previous day usage. From conversation with them, understanding is there are some issues where we have to switch off mobile data well before 12am. Or else continual usage will add up yesterday usage in next day usage. This is really a software glitch i can day.

            Airtel has become a fraudulent company because of telecommunication competition. I have shared the screenshot of my airtel app in which it was showing 399 rs offer for 82 days but after recharging i just got 70 days. What kind of trick is that. Can you please explain. Already i complained of deduction of more than rs30 and there is no transparency in showing customers last transactions. I want refund back for both the issues or give full validity. How can you trick your customers like that. I have been associated with airtel from past 4-5 years. I don't expect such things from your renowned company. Please resolve this issue asap. You better have a complaints section in your app as well.

              The amount got deducted, however, the recharge was not done.
              On may 19th, 2018, i recharged the airtel number [protected].
              Rs 199 was deducted from my account immediately and the recharge was not done. I called the customer care and informed the same and they said the amount will be refunded after two days as the transaction was unsuccessful due to some reason. Hence they also requested to recharge again for 199/-. The second time the recharge was successful.

              Till this date, the amount which was deducted at first is not credited back.
              I have attached the screenshot of my bank transaction for the deduction of 199 two times.

                  As am using airtel from past 10 years but from last few months i cannot getting a proper network and no 4g internet on my mobile. Please sort it out the network and internet 4g network or else i will do portability for my mobile no [protected], please advise.

                  I think airtel is providing false information to all airtel customers that they have 4g network and 4g internet.

                                      I was given a airtel hotspot [protected] on surrendering tata photon and the agency collected 350/- towards installation charges and booked for 399/- plan but to my surprise the bill generated had a highest plan.
                                      Am unable to open the bill as the password is sent to the hotspot number, tried sending mails but no response only getting reminders for bill due, have stopped using the device but now another month bill is also generated.
