This is to inform you that i have done recharge through retailer for rs 19/- for call rate as i got the message but till date this was not incorporated, hence we have asked the retailer he said he has received the message & the amount was deducted from his account so he asked to launch a complaint. The recharge was done on 20/4/2018 at kalyan west. We kindly request you to look in to the matter. My phone no is [protected]

    I would like to convert from airtel postpaid to airtel prepaid. I initially contacted your cutomer service who asked me to visit nearby store for conversion. So i stepped into 1. Beml last bus stop, channasandra store on 23/04/2018, your staff there straight forward informed that all their ids are blocked and will not be able to take the request. Next i stepped into 2. Kumarswamy layout police station road store on 24/04/2018, staff their was not concerned about the query and said concerned person is not available and will need to come back another dat. Next i stepped into chikkalasandra, bangalore intl. School store on 25/04/2018, your staff says there are no sim stocks and have to wait for 2-3days. Is this the way each and every store provides customer service? Is it so difficult to convert within same operator.

      Theres no network in most of the public places even and 4g or 3 g speed is hopelessly bad. I ported my number from vodafone thinking airtel is good but this is my biggest disappointment as i was a good loyal customer of airtel before jumping to vodafone. When calling a person, it doesn't ring for me and gets disconnected. Hopeless bad bad bharti mittal for poor airtel.

          My requirement was so simple, to change sim from karnataka to tamil nadu circle. You guys made my life miserable. I was not having access to my number for 4 days. On top of that 3 days only with outgoing calls. I missed lot of important calls because of this. As an it professional, i am expecting some important career oriented calls. Because of your "technical issue" i don't even know who called, you guys can't provide a call redirect facility either.

          If anyone tries to call my number it says please check the number you have dialed!

          My mobile number is [protected]. Please fix it asap. I'm losing out on lot of important calls.

              Hi,
              My phone number is [protected], it is using into a feature phone, suddenly airtel activated a self video service and started deducting money every day. This has been activated automatically and without user intervention. Now while talking with customer service executive they are saying it might have been activated automatically but they are not able to refund the amount. Wow, what a cheating doing by indian largest telecom operator, they are leading the market picking pocket of normal subscribers.
              Arrange for refund and penalties asap, unless will go to consumer forum.

                  On 25.04.2018, i activated international roaming for usa for one day by paying 649 rupees through internet banking for mobile no [protected]. But the subject number is not getting any network in usa. On contacting customer care call transferred from postpaid to prepaid and to different circles but problem not resolved.
                  Since you failed to provide international roaming services kindly refund the amount of 649.

                    I am facing network issue from last one month in bangalore krpuram area. I have raised compaint also, but still i am facing issue. Due to bad networks, no one is able to call me, and if i call, call drops happens. I called multiple time to customer care, but they are not giving proper answer and timeline.
                    I have raised two complaints 24582579 and 84449314 for network issue, and both complaints they have put on hold with reasoning network team working. As a customer i am feeling cheated because i am paying the monthly amount but i am not able to make a call properly.in today's digital world think if your phone is not reachable and you are not able to make a call properly. So i wanted either return back my monthly amount or fix is within month.

                        1) डियर सुनील मित्तल ग्राहक प्रतिनिधि से बात करना हो तो उसके लिए सिंपल कोई नंबर क्यो नहीं है। जिससे कम से कम समय में आपसे बात हो सके?

                        2) मुझे 198 पे कॉल करके ग्राहक प्रतिनिधि से बात करने के लिए 15 मी. ऑप्शन (Ex. 1, 2, 3, 4,) दबाते रहना पड़ता है।
                        क्या आपको हमारे समय की कोई अहमियत नहीं है क्या?

                        3) क्या आप को 4जी ग्राहक ही चाहिये 2जी, 3जी आपके ग्राहक नहीं है क्या?
                        अगर है तो नेट स्पीड बढाइये।

                            Hi airtel,

                            I have been using 1.4 gb per day pack but am not able to use my data as the network reception is so poor that speed test even wont work. Being a giant in the telecom industry. I expect you to at least get your 4g coverage good in city areas like bangalore. My area pin code is 560060. I even checked in open network, my building is in a very poor network zone. Please fix this issue as soon as possible otherwise it is like i am paying for the services i am not even able to access.

                            Regards,
                            Shantanu sarkar

                              Ok this time you over did yourself, I purchased a smartbytes pack of 15GB on[protected] which turns out was 200GB now i would not say anything but atleast it should been provided which i didn't got and you gave me 125GB in which 80GB was from my previous plan then you text me that i need to payup 4005 INR as per some usage pattern and when i try to track the usage from your app or website it does not provide any details when i try to call customer service the automated voice recording tells me to buy data pack or smartbytes.

                              I am speechless so please either fix it or provide me the data usage details or take away your services.

                                I have recharged my mobile number [protected] with Rs. 148 through my main balance which is shown in flash message of page *123#. My balance got deducted by Rs. 148
                                But services what I paid for:-Unlimited Local, STD, aur Roaming k saath hi 28GB (1GB/day) aur 100 SMS/din, 28 din k liye

                                What I got:- Just 300 MB data.

                                I talk to customer care thrice but they just rudely said that nothing could happen in this case

                                    Using a corporate Airtel number in Raipur(Chhattisgarh). Airtel claims over the television to be the fastest and most available network among all the Service Providers. but the truth is its all fake and just making a fool of customers. Being a corporate employee cell phone is a must to have need and having one with Aitel network is same as having no phone at all.
                                    however i have made this complaints n number of times with their custome care but highlighting the issue with ticket number this time.

                                    same issue has been reported twice by me.Both of these complaints are about network issue becuase of that i am not able to make calls or to use data from past so many months including facing high level congestion is network from evening 6 everyday from anywhere. Airtell customer care committed to sort out the issue in 4 days of time. But still i havent seen any action and issue remains same. These people are so careless about cutomers because generally we do not take a stand against their poor quality of service. We pay but we do not get the service we deserve. Hoping to get some response from this forum.Screen shot of the message of registering complaint is attached.

                                      I am facing lot of issue with airtel network since last 2 months. Even after complaining it to airtel team by calling them 7-10 times, the issue is not resolved. When i called today, i was told that the service request 84695208 is closed. They closed the request without resolving or calling the customer.

                                      I need my refund for the last 2 months i paid the money

                                      Regards,

An amount of rs 60 has been reduced from my account. I need airtel to refund me the same (Rs 30, that has been deducted twice from my account) as airtel has no "lawful authority" to "automatically" subscribe gamepind without my freewill.
