Address: 680687

A mail was sent to nodalofficer. Kerala airtel on14th. No response. Bad service.
Sim not working for last five days. No solution no customer care no toll free response. Mail given below.

Dear sir / madam,

I have a post paid connection number [protected] and a pre paid number [protected]. Both are not working for the last few days. When i visited your office at appolo jn kalamassery they told me that the sims are to be changed and i got two new sims on 12th may. But they could not activate the sims on 12th as the aadhar authentication was failing because of your server problem. I gave my aadhar copy and they told me that both sims will be activated by monday 14th morning. But till now 1.30 pm on 14th the sims are not activated.

I don't know why suddenly both sims stopped functioning and the response for solution from toll free numbers were very poor. The connectivity in my area also is very poor and no customer service centres available nearby.

I am your customer for many years and there is no bill payment pending also. I want to know the reason for stoppage of service and the delay for restoring the same.

Want an urgent solution.

My alternate contact number is[protected] and e mail id is [protected]@gmail.com

Thanks and regards

    I activated the international roaming plan of 149/- before going to the usa. Besides that, i have the postpaid plan of 499/- from which i had about 106 gb for usage. By the end of the month, i received a bill of rs. 15647/- stating that i have been charged 649/- everytime i used my data, which sounds absolutely senseless to me. I'm being overcharged for nothing!

          This is really frustrating, my issue is not resolved. Its been 15 days and there is no response from airtel technical team. When i try to reach technical department, they keep saying its been escalated it to technical team. If they take this much of time they should have provided the "dongle" or alternative service to provide.
          I really want the internet connection as i have lot of work to finish.

          Bad service, no experienced technician, not providing any update when they going to fix, feels like sue the company!

          Kindly, reach out to them and fix this issue at the earliest

            Hi

            I tried to check my internet balance by pressing *121*, while checking i reached a page that says internet loan i clicked to check what is the amount they will deduct and how much data i will get. It did not showed anything as such instead i get a msg 60 mb data has been recharged and 22 rs will get deducted from your account, this is the second time happened with me. It is not about 22rs it’s about when i called the customer care rep, and when i told them to cancel it they are simply blaming me they are telling me i am lying. They are telling before taking internet loan i have all the options to confirm and refuse to help me

                    Hello sir/madam, i got an otp message for airtel prepaid recharge airtel5/bh/prepaid for online purchase of rs. 100, which i didn't. This happened today on 14th may 2018 at 3:20 ist pm. After several hours of receiving this message i got a message from my bank dear customer, your txn at pos payust[protected] declined due to incorrect pin. Please enter the correct pin. I searched for this in search engine and found many consumer complaints to airtel about this same id i. E. Payust00001653 and link provided by you. I never shared my confidential details with anybody or anywhere. I remember last time i used my debit card for an airtel mobile recharge through paytm and there's no other explanation how this unfortunate suspicious transaction happened. I think your security systems may have been compromised and somebody is misuing your customer data which is a major concern for your users. Kindly investigate the matter and take appropriate action so that such fraudulent transactions will not take place in your name and it will send a message to frauds so that they can restraint. Thank you.

                        There is no mobile net work service in nerul new mumbai near palm beech road since they do not have network towers in nerul west palm beech road and after informed the airtel staff, they only revert that the massage was to short to revert. Airtel uneducated staff do not understand that there is no towers of airtel that is why the company cannot provide any signal in new mumbai zone. Airtel in not able to understand simple issue of no network zone of service, due to which the only choice left is change service provider, as the only net work available is jio 4 g from reliance. Airtel staff hope this massage is long for you to work on it for your clients who are suffering due to no network available in nerul sector 16 palm breech. New mumbai area.

                          I have received this message which is an incorrect remittance in my DTH account. Appears to be a case of fraud.
                          “Payment received Rs 648 for airtel digitalTV id[protected], updated a/c balance is Rs 792.63.Current Monthly Charges - Rs 666 Next Recharge Date is 17-JUN-2018.To know account details give missed call on [protected]”.

                          My DTH balance as of today was Rs 405. Rs 648 was stated to have been deposited by your company today in my DTH account which is not the case. Since you have now acknowledged that I had deposited Rs 648/-, I stand a refund of Rs 40/- which were deducted earlier as stated by your call centre employee as idle charge.

                          Request make arangements to avoid such fraudualent activites and make up the balance in my account as Rs 405+Rs 648+ Rs 40=Rs 1093.
                          Meanwhile, I have requested the call centre employee to stop both my DTH accounts till the issue is resolved.

                            Dear team,

                            This is in regards with my mobile no: [protected] which was earlier with vodafone. Later i received a call from airtel representative to port the telecome services from vodafone to airtel. With this request i intended to transfer my services as discussed.
                            A verification guy came to meet me and took all necesaary documents post addhar authantication. I was told it will take 3 working days for the conversion of telecome services and i was given a new sim to use in future.

                            Its been almost 3 months, i never receive any conformation on my port request. As i was having my primary allternate no, i didn't bother to check as well.

                            Later this month when i visited a store at college square, cuttack-odisha. I was told that i do have an airtel no and the same is been ported from vodafone services which was processed on my request. But till date the sim is not in use. There is no network service available on my device since i was given the sim. With all the above, i came to know that there are dues pending for last two months. I gave a request at the store itself, they denied to take as it was not of odisha circle.

                            I have mailed a formal mail as well from my regisgetre mail id as well. No response as of now. I am getting no. Of calls for the service provider to clear my dues. When i havent used the network for once, why should i pay for the same.

                            Request you to look in to the matter on atmost proiorty and address this issue.

                            Awaiting your response.

                            Thanks,
                            Rakesh kumar sahoo

                                  I have requested to migrate from postpaid to prepaid on last April 25th 2018. I hope, my account disconnected from postpaid on last 28th April 2018. Afterwards, i couldn't make first time recharge through Airtel office & retail shop. The Error is occurring by highlighting Recharge is not successful. To solve this issue, i am following up for past 15 days by calling the respective Airtel office where i have done the migration and also by calling the customer care people. But nobody knows how to solve the problem. I didn't expect such a worst service from Airtel. The Aritel employees is trying to escape from my call by saying something or redirecting to someone.

                                      We have been complaining regarding the unavailability of internet connection since today morning but no response from the concerned authorities.
                                      With the result full day work in the office has come to a stand still.
                                      Request you to earnestly look into the matter.
                                      The concerned local engineer has been repeatedly saying that we dont have the generator facility on server.
