Last month on 30th, rs.75 was deducted from my account for activating whatsmob service for 15 days. Again, after 15 days it is renewed automatically for 7 days by deducting rs.35.in short, they have deducted rs.110 in 15 days that also for the service which i never used... Never heard. If this will be the reward from the airtel for the genuine airtel users, i would happily port my number to any other service provider.
Because of jio, they are already loosing customers. Still they don't know how to hold their old customers. By deducting money from the innocent customers account, they are making profit for the company.
If the money will not be reimbursed in next 10 days, i am going to change my service provider. And i will definitely share my experience on social media to help/aware others.

I have received a call dated 9th may'2018 from the number [protected] (Namely-arpita) and got a exchange offer from tata docomo to airtel wifi with just rs.99 only. According she has sent an executive (Susanta-[protected]) to collect the money and handover the sim card post aadhaar biometric varification and the same may be activated post 24 hours. The executive said you will have to pay rs.199/- instead of rs.99/- which i didn't. He took rs.99/- post calling arpita and left the place saying you will get the device within 24 hours post varification and activation of the number.
A week has gone no has turned up and bothered to inform when i am going to receive the device.

Today dated 15th may'2018, i have agin received a call from a person with mob no-[protected] and he was offering the same exchange offer with the cost of rs.650/-.

Now as a loyal consumer what should be the impression to me for the company and their so called vendors & sub-vendors those are continuously calling pre-existing consumers with nonsense offers.

I choose airtel over vodafone and others with the thought that i will be getting more value added services from them. I have got 7-8 more numbers under my company name "feather touch services" and using airtel dth in my house too.

Should i expect a positive response and step to protect loyal customers and image of the bharti airtel???

I have raised a complaint with airtel as i have a problem with sending messages. Messages are bounced back as there is some issue.
I raised the 1st complaint on 30th april and no action taken till now.

They tried reaching me couple of times as i see some missed calls on my mobile. But what i noticed was they gave missed calls and disconnected immediately. I was near the phone and before even i attempted to lift the call, the call gets disconnected. They did this so many times.

If i am not reachable, drop me a message or an email so that i can contact them back whenever i see the missed call.

What can be done? Changing the service is the only solution?

Pasting the mail forwarded to airtel team
Hi team,

A member from your office called himself as "a chandra shekar, advisor:customer experience, nodal office" contacted me on saturday, in the mail chain you can see my mobile number. He asked for account number etc that i had attached. This is frustration that a giant company like airtel does play with loyal customers. I raised first incident on 26th april to "we care", which i did not get reply from. Yes a wake reply that they are not the team concerned off. And team, this is not about the amount of 509/- this is more than that, the service you are providing your customers. Is this what you show your customers by not processing refund in case of failed transaction. Please check your incorrectly written software o[censored]pi gateway. Being a large network provider please dont just bang about yourself, please have a team that checks if your things are runnings fine or incorrectly. This amount of 509 may not be large for anyone of you or me. But think of an individual whose family income is 15k inr, how hard for them to fight with you for their money. I lost respect on you airtel team because
1) the delay is more than 3 weeks. Money of 509 is stuck for no reason. Are you gonna give me an interest or do any philanthropy with it?
2) each time a new person replies to the mail.
3) no one actually takes time to read what is in mail / mail chain but reply something else.
4) all the 2 times that i had call, i had to explain the issue.
5) you team don't handle a failed transaction via upi, which is very basic in developing country like india.

Please refer to your logs, chandra shekar who called me on saturday asked for details that i enclosed in previous mail. Please don't ask me details again and agin please refer mail chain. Below signature.

My actually complaint mailed on april 26th: "my number: [protected].
i'm using tez upi to recharge my airtel from"my airtel"app. Amount debited twice.
1st time, it got successful transaction from upi but airtel redirected to some issue.
2nd time, it got successful transaction from upi as above and airtel recharge got completed.

please look into issue because the amount is 509 inr.

the issue here is sometimes via any upi amount is getting stuck (After debuting) at user app and these gateways are refunding back but"my airtel"gateway failed to do so."

Thanks,
Chaitanya

Its very annoying as previous year the speed was good 600-700kbps but i have recharged several times but speed is very low
Please solve this problem soon
Other networks are good incomparable to airtel
Thank you

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!

Dear sir/mam

Dear sir, sim swap option in airtel mitra app is not showing, i tried with uninstall & again new version install but still not the option is showing. Everyday my customers returned from my shop, they came for sim replacement, but i can't help them. I also contacted airtel customer care but they not helped me. My lapu no. [protected]. Please help me. I need sim swap option very urgent.

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

I have added rs7000 in my Airtel money account, but now I am unable to use that money, bcoz their virtual debit card is not working, its showing that your bank has declined the transaction.. Please contact your bank..means they are only cheating customers...

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.

I am jenkins hubert. I am from nagercoil. My airtel number [protected]. I didn't get airtel 4g data. Now i getting only 2g data. All my mobile settings are good.
This complaint is repeated. So i lost my money. Already i complaint and the person refresh the settings and i got 4g. Same problem repeated. Take the necessary action. If you can't please trminate me from your service.

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.

Regards.
Amit Sharma.

Subject:Rs 648 deducted from my account yet to be credited in tv account.

My bank statement for rs 648 deduction as attached. The amount shown as deducted on 25 Apr 18. The bank has confirmed the said deduction in your favour.

Customer care officials have been troubling me again and again asking for bank data which has been submitted by me. I have already submitted my bank statement for the above deduction. I am submitting the same again. Request arrange to refund the above amount or credit in my tv account [protected] without troubling me again.

I am an ardent airtel customer having 5 SIMs and two DTH connectoins of Airtel. If this is how you run business then its condemable.

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,
