Their was recharge option of 199 rs to activate a plan and mistakenly i recharged it for 198 and another plan got activated
I called the customer care and asked them to refund it they denied
Also when i asked them to activate it by deducting 1 rs from my main balance they said no
The manager also said their is no option
The 198 recharge is no way benifiel to me

    Hi,

    I had raised the complaint for DTH Error Code: B001 nearly 10 days back and trying to call in customer care daily. I am always getting answer back from them that will resolve by today but issue is still pending. This is really a loss of my money for me as well as mental harassment to not watch any program.

    Now I think I don't have any option other than to switch other operator.

    Its really very big disappointment as a customer for me from Airtel like prestigious company.

      30gb data dodged from getting added to my data balance. I made 3 customer calls after registering on 51111 and following up for 5 days!! They keep saying wait for 48 hours! Without adding 30gb data. It's not respectable to make a customer follow up and keep begging for something you promised to offer. Most disheartening experience! Sr84908257. Mobile:[protected]

        Hi,

        This is mampi from qapitol qa services pvt. Ltd. We had submitted all documents and given installation cheque in last week but still there is no response from installation guys even from sales guy who came here in our office and taken all the documents and cheque.

        Kindly look into and let us know when we can expect installation and proper response from airtel though it was promised and installation will be done within 4 days but sorry to say the airtel service is not at all good. None of them are responding to my calls.

        You should provide better service and customer satisfaction.

        Regards,
        Mampi das

            Within two hours, I was contacted by the AIRTEL DTH service person and informed me through mail that the additional top-up was a mistake and removed the top up. The deducted money was credited back. I thank the support of consumer complaints.

                I have raised a request for plan change on 21st april. Order id: 61511738 under which i wanted to opt for plan of 799/- monthly rental. For the same i also requested technical help on changing the modem to an upgraded one.
                Today when i called customer care to follow up on request, i got to know nothing has been done on the request. Moreover ravi sahu the customer care person told me that i cannot have any plan below my existing plan. I strongly suggest action against such people at customer care who are passing incorrect information to the users.

                  Lifestyle service activated automatically and renewed automatically.
                  Applied for emergency loan and not received any balance, after recharge done loan with intrest is cutoff by the company.
                  Different customer care executive gives diffrent information for the service activated automatically.
                  For query or service complain or calling noddle officers cut off the balance.
                  Very rude behaviour of the executive officers, they unsolve the problems and say if you have another query you can call on 121. On requesting to transfer call to their officer they declined. One of the worst company.

                    The recharge done through any digital medium is throwing an error. Even the store people are not aware of why the transaction is being failed. There is even a lot of problem with the network. All of sudden you don't know about why there is no network on your phone and the customer care people reply by saying that there is a 5G line work which is going on please switch on to 3G and work on it. What is the reason advertising that India's best 4G network and speed when even there is no proper network

                        In line with many other who have complained here, airtel has activated some service called whatsmob and deducted rs150 without my consent.
                        How can a company like airtel do daylight robbery of customers.
                        Would one look on if someone snatches 150 from you? Moreover the subscription is recurring. This arrogance from airtel needs to be challenged legally

                            This is with reference to the auto activation of videopindw by airtel against my mobile number without my consent from 19th nov’17. This is completely unacceptable from a company like airtel which is totally unfair. Request you credit my mobile account on the amount deducted till date towards activation videopindw service

                            Regards,
                            P. G. Suresh kumar

                                      My airtel number ([protected]) has been deactivated inspite of the recharge I made on 10 April 2018.(Refer photo). I tried to call the number on 26th April but get this message " number does not exist.
                                      Last sms I received was on 25 april. (Refer attached photos). Within one day my service was deactivated without notice.

                                      Currently I am abroad and kept enough balance such that I atleast receive sms for my banking transaction.

                                      I have a flight and my number is linked to many places like bank, whatsapp, etc.

                                      My friend enquired about this at nearest airtel office even those guys are unable to figure out the cause for this.

                                      I request to please activate my sim. In case of any recharge required. Please let me know

                                      Thanks
                                      Sandesh

                                        I called airtel several times for adding up new connection to my existing connection of dth they said that they ll call back in a while. I called for about 6 7 time on 16 april because of it i have to bear a loss. We couldnt share the same connection with third floor people and have to more for the same. I called customer support again and again but no replies and my problem is not solved. This was not at all expected from airtel it is now better to switch to some other service provider. Poor customer support.
