    Website: www.airtel.in

    After numerous calls & conversations with the relevant team & up to multiple levels of managers, i didn't hear anything from anyone till date. This is pathetic and pitieous from airtel. Haven't encountered such a situation in last 5 years of relationship.

    There are vague internet charges posted in my bill. Unfortunately, i realized that airtel customer services are more focused at fleecing customer than providing services. The last couple of weeks have been harrowing and i have seen no resolution. I am surprised, and pained at the lack of professionalism and empathy of airtel.
    I have recently been abroad and started international roaming services plan on my airtel number on apr 27, 2018. To my utter shock, for the billing period from april 5th, 2018 to may 4th, 2018, i have been wrongly charged for mobile internet data & i never even switched on the data. But after generation of bill, it says total usage/pulse as 6205 (62 mb) which was never even used and for that i have been charged rs. 48, 233. Is this some kind of joke? Do you have any idea how many gb comes under 48k??
    In context to above, i raised a request no. [protected] for verifying the dispute and to my surprise, request is closed without any resolution. Further, i enquired again last week and some different representative told me the request is closed and stated that the charges are valid. What is the authenticted way of this validation? Why so unprofessionalism? Why wasn't i informed on the progress / closure of the ticket?
    Hereby, i completely challenge these charges as false. The billing system at your end has malfunctioned and i have been the bearer of this.
    Secondly, when my credit limit is 3, 600 then how in the god's name is this possible that my usage had exceeded that amount, why was it not blocked beyond the credit limit? Why suddenly did i receive this vague bill?
    There were no charges for the almost the month but suddenly between may 2nd to may 3rd 2018 i have been charged for mobile data usage which was not even turned on.

    If this is the way airtel's billing systems work, i am sorry to say that i will challenge this in the consumer court or in front of the compliance authority. This is gross harassment and cheating and it seems that airtel is trying to offset its losses by falsely charging customers.in this era of transparency, such unprofessional management is unexpected from a company as big as airtel.

    I do not intend to pay these false and unethical charges and i would like a full clarification and revocation of these false charges on my account from airtel immediately.

        Hi

        I received a call from someone pausing as Airtel customer care on account of KYC updation of my SIM. I was told that my SIM will be deactivated with effect from 16th May 2018, hence I needed to give a SIM change request. I was asked to send a particular message to 121, which I did. Subsequently i received another message for which I was told to press 1, which also I did. Post that I went to your Gallery in Powai, Mumbai. They gave me a new SIM which was to get activated in 4 hours but couldn't be as the fraudster ( i was told) was blocking it.

        It was then suggested that I block my number completely for a few days. Now my number is barred and I don't know what to do. My question is how are the fraudsters able to get hold of new SIM cards? I think there is a leak in Airtel's systems which is very risky for the customers.

        I want a quick resolution of my problem, failing which I shall escalate the issue within Airtel system and also report it to police.

          I have the rs. 448 pack on my phone. It has validity up to 82 days. The calling is fine. But i have a problem with the data service. After the initial 50 or 60 days, the daily speed of 4g goes down substantially. The signals are shown and the bar is always full with 4g written on the side but the speed isn't there at all. This isn't the first time it's happening. After 50 days, it seems like you limit the usage of data. Please get back to me and resolve this problem asap.

            Worst.. Unstable 3g n 4g network.. Sometimes can't even make a call.. You guys claiming your network to be the fastest network of india, i don't know on the basis of what. And it's not that am staying in a cave or something or the only victim so that it's obvious of you people not to cover up. I think you should pay a bit attention to the matter asap.. Otherwise we must port our connection to other network provider as per our benefit..
            Thank you.

                Hello,
                I called customer services on april 09, 2018 and requested that i needed to deactivate my broadband connection, since i was not getting proper connection, the supervisor confirmed with me that my connection will be deactivated in a week’s time, however i’m still keep receiving charges for services that are not been used, how do you expect me to pay for services that is not in use, when i requested for deactivation why hasn’t it been deactivated, i will not pay for something that i never used, i’m not going to pay if i keep receiving charges for no services i will need to take further action on you guys, i have sent an email asking for a confirmation that my connection is deactivated and i’m yet to receive a confirmation but you keep sending me bills and charging me for services that has no coverage, this has to be looked into very disappointed

                  I have recharged Airtel Rs149=Unlimited Local, STD and Roaming calls with 100 SMS/day along with 1GB/day data for 28 days.
                  After that i called a local help line number and i got charged Rs34 @ Re1/mint but i called the same No. with Jio and charged nothing.
                  So what is the meaning for unlimited call which is giving by Airtel even though they are charging.

                          My fixed line number is[protected] which was asked for a connection in january this year. Due to alot of issues and less signals, i made a request for disconnection in february itself. Your agents are least bothered with their customer’s satisfaction and even talk rudely. After a long talk on call, they say that the other department will make a call in 24 hours and the same department calls again. Am i liable to take all the calls now. My only request till date is to get it disconnected and way-off my bill as i have noy even used it. These requests are not being processed and not even answered properly. Today itself, i asked the agent to transfer my call to their seniors and what i got in return is, they are busy in a meeting and call disconnected. What behaviour your people are showing is really off the road and unacceptable. Today, its more than 3 months now and still not rectified. Am i just living my life for airtel, to talk to them whenever they want to. If you can rectify this, then you have the time of 2 days, otherwise, on monday, i’ll file a complaint in consumer court now.

I raise the compliant to customer care on last year nov 2017 but still my problem was not yet resolved. According to my plan in a month 20gb data is there to use but it’s useless (Because of network issue and slow network) last 3 months onwards full out going call also problem in our dist full in our area friends all r facing this same problem. We believed u that airtel is best network but while we are using the air tell network we come know that how much it is worst network. If the problem continues we may change the network from air tell i faced lots of problems through air tell. Please consider as this as a serious issue and clear it as soon as possible…

                              I have asked for only one day of data roaming pack while in hongkong - 649/ - and after that i have not used any data at all or asked for second day of data pack.

                              Now i am "automatically charged" for 4 days??? Why?? If it is auto renewal why not charge me endlessly till kingdom come? Who will arbitrarily decide when to start and stop a pack on my phone?? - just a damn scam to cheat people and i have repeatedly complained and insisted that i travel overseas often and do not want any auto renewal. How come the repeated and specific instructions i have given are ignored and everytime you just clain "auto renewal" - its a scam and i will escalate this to consumer court.

                                    I have applied for a new airtel broadband connection and have paid the advance rental amount of rs 7788 also. The sales person who came to sell the plan has told that it will be done withing 2 days.

                                    But now its 1 week and i have not received any response from airtel.
                                    I have tried contacting the sales person also but now he is now picking the calls. Tried complaining to the customer care also. From last 4 days they are telling the same thing to me that the technical person will contact you by end of day. But every day i keep on waiting and no one calls.

                                    I got many calls from airtel for applying for a new connection but no response for the connection for which i have applied for.

                                    This is really disappointing. For selling the plan airtel person will contact you few hours but for service they will not respond for weeks.

                                    If airtel doesnt have workforce to provide connections on time then please stop selling the plans to customers.

                                        I had a normal connection and 2 days before i have taken 2nd connection of hd in rs.999 in which the airtel person told me that you have 1 month free hd channels. But today on my new second connection i got error code 6. And then i called customer care and they told me to recharge again with rs.351 on 1st normal connection then only your pack will restart on newly 2nd hd connection and after that i recharged then now my channels are coming. What is this you are fooling to customer?? What is the need to give then free 1 month hd pack?? I communicated with customer care and she told me to recharge and after i made recharged then she called me back from this number - [protected] and was saying that your refund will come and then i told her that i just now recharged rs.351 then she cut the call and then she is not picking my number. My customer id - [protected]. Kindly resolve my issue and refund my money.
