I haven't choosen masti pack, still my card was charged for activation of such pack overnight night. How can they do such a thing?
They might be doing it with many people out there. Please find the details about this as soon as possible. It's shameful that they are offering such poor services
Kindly look into the matter and if possible refund all my money back.

    I am not able to access my number since 2days and after 2days, they are providing me procedure for troubleshoot which i have already done numerous of times instead of resolving it. Service is working from their end but it is showing no service at my end so is the problem resolved?? Secondly i have already been to airtel outlet in morning for sim replacement whereas this is not at all customer fault if sim stops working without any damage and i still paid rs.25 to get it done and its been 14hrs but still end up with no help except no service. I am facing loss financially due to all this. And i have input my sim in different phone as well but still no service is reflecting whereas other sim is showing working in both phones. I am attaching screenshot of no service and will look forward to resolution. I have never came across this thing before with any network so unable to digest how airtel network is sitting quiet on customer problem's and claiming to be best network.

      Worst network, which will give ads and say they are the best network in india

      I have been the loyal customer for airtel for more than 5 years and in recent past, i am seeing everything is not, as they say, plan costs more and gives out little, as most of the time there will be no network and even i am trying to cancel my 4g lte connection number [protected], but none of the airtel customer care numbers is accepting the closure request, they are passing calls here and there but of no use.

      Please help me in cancelling the connection

          Hi team,

          Mobile number : [protected]
          Name : nirmala nicola raju didla
          Subject : bill generation delayed and customer care resolution not satisfactory.

          I have looked into my email and coudnt find my latest bill and called to customer care on 15-apr-2018. As per the customer care executive, they are facing some issue at bill generation department and it is delayed and given me 48 hrs of time.

          Called them on 18-apr-2018 as my bill not yet received. The customer care executive still requesting 48hrs to generate the bill and resolve the issue. Spoken to floor in charge (Nimisha - [protected])

          Customer loss: company reimbursement can't be processed after 18-apr-2018. Obviously i lost the amount.

          This is not the first time it happened, first time when it happened i am not much bothered. But if repeating again and again i can't accept it.

          I request the justification on this and my compensation.

          Regards,
          Nirmala nicola raju didla.

          Below images can see I have raised the complaint on email and the reply is as below.

          But still the caller has denied to give me SR number I requested, even then j asked her to mention the same in the mail. But still she just mentioned as we are following ur request only.

          This is how the nodal team and the appelut team works with airtel ..

            Airtel which claims to be one of the biggest networks are now not able to even give suitable answers to there customers the customer care executives don't even know how to talk like livilized beings they have stopped all my calls for 4 hrs and only one voice speaks out loud every time i make any call saying all lines are busy, it's not a reliable network at all as you don't know when your network will not help you at times of need .

              Dear customer care,

              I have been repeatedly charged for services activated in my sim for which I have no clue when and how it has got activated.

              On 29th March 2018, I was charged with Rs 5 for SHORTFILMS service which I have not activated. And I have not checked this until this service is renewed on 12th April 2018 and I have charged with Rs 35

              Again today ie 18th April 2018 a service is started called GAME ARENA and I have been charged with Rs 25

              I had to stop all these services by sending a message STOP to 155223

              This is happening frequently now and it's very annoying. I have not started any of the above services but they are Auto-activating and I am charged by debiting from my Account Balance which I have added for calling purpose.

              This need to be corrected and the account balance debited should be credited.

              Thank you

                This is to inform you of the disappointing service airtel has provided, initially the carelessness of the sales guy who verified and confirmed that the broadband connection would be available, so i paid an amount of rs 500/- and submitted my documents, after reminding the guy for 3-4 days, he being the neglecting one ignored the matter, and then later stating that the connection won't be possible, i had my important office work pending depending on the same, later after finding out that the connection won't be done i was promised that the money would be reflected in my account in 9 days, it's been more that 25 days. This careless attitude is not tolerable and i called the guy 2-3 times for reminding the same and he again ignored the matter.
                I want my money to be reflected asap and i want a reply to this feedback if i am not getting one i am raising this complaint to consumer court.
                Airtel is the worst network and the worst service ever provided, i would never use airtel in my life after this horrible experience.

                  Set-top box charges
                  Customer id: [protected]

                  My airtel dth set-top box stopped working suddenly. I raised a compliant with customer care. An engineer visited my house and checked, he informed set top box is faulty. He said this old model settop box not provided. And a new HD box set for you total cost 600rs for replacement. I am not sure why i have to pay when the services and devices are provided by airtel.

                  I paid rs 3000 for their box during initial connection. Why should i pay again when they provided such poor quality box. This is not acceptable and not happy with this kind of service from airtel

                  If this can be fixed without any charge i will continue to use the service, otherwise i will cancel the service.

                    I already have a bsnl number and i took a airtel sim 2 months back. Today 18th april 2018, i got a call from an unknown number from mumbai. That person is repeatedly calling me saying that i had called him several times and disturbed him when he was at work. He saying that he will file a case.
                    What nonsense is this??
                    I don't even know that person nor i have called him ever or messaged and i am getting this stupid threat for not doing anything.
                    I had been getting few unknown calls when i had bought the sim.
                    Please note
                    Airtel can't manage the issue of new sims
                    Please make sure that there aren't two sims having the same number
                    When issuing a sim to a new person please ensure that the previous connections are cut and the person cannot call from the old sim anymore
                    This is totally creepy

                      From april 01st 2017, airtel scrapes national roaming charges on outgoing & incoming charges but they are charging roaming charges on outgoing calls from me.

                      Vide email dtd 18/04/2017, i have requested them to reverse the same but they replied that "as the charges are valid we are unable to reverse the same."

                      Kindly look into the matter.

                        Airtel has charged rs. 35 twice from my account without taking the subscription of lifestyle. The latest incedence was today on 18-04-18. Even when i am trying to stop the service by sms it is not working. My mobile number is [protected]. The credited amount should be refunded as i did not subscribe for the service. I am going to change my number from airtel if it continues and doesn't stop.

                        Thanks

                        Airtel has deducted charges so many times. Recently they deducted whatsmob service activate charge which I don't even know. Called up customer care they said user must have click on pop up and immedietly reversed the charges. AIRTEL is totally fraud company. They don't have ethics.

                              My name is rashmi. I had requested for a new airtel broadband connection on 9-apr-2018 (Cef[protected].
                              Airtel collected address proof documents and cheque for the same.
                              Later they denied the request saying there is no feasibility.

                              In this case, can i please get the documents and my cheque returned back.
                              The cheque is of 500 inr and the bank statement as address proof costed me 200 inr.
                              I want both of these returned. But airtel customer care are not assisting me in the same even after calling them 8 times. They keep transferring me to other departments and are keeping me on hold/line for 30+ minutes every time.

                              The nodal/allevate team contact number needs me to key in my airtel fixed line number to escalate, which i dont have as my service request was denied.

                              I am tired of calling customer care again and again who are not ready to take any action or lodge complaint and there is no facility airtel has provided to escalate the matter to higher team.

                                  Since last 15days i have been following with airtel. I just wanted to know how my wallet money is used while making the payment thru airtel money. Their statement shows no such breakup of wallet money and credit card. So i asked for statement. But their stupid call center execs are replying in a stereotype manner, telling me the procedure of how to see statment in app. One foolish asked me my payment bank no. Such things repeated, as an when new execs take over the task of replying the mails. They just dont read the mail at all. Nor they look into the old related mails. They dont even bother to ponder as to why the mails are coming from same person again and again. Only when i wrote a harsh statment about these, they called me.

                                  Please also note, these telecon companies have been to told to pass the buck or pass the ball to customer court, so they are free from any obligations.

                                    Hi,

                                    I have raised a claim for airtel secure which got cancelled because they are saying i have raised a claim after 3 days instead of 2 days, claim to be submitted with in 48 hours, i have tried to make them understand that the cell was not getting switched on but they are saying i should have used other ways to raise the claim, till now i was aware that it should be raised by airtel app. They are getting one or the other way to escape from the claim.
                                    Pathetic service it is.
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                    No luck, they are giving me same pathetic excuses, better avoid using Airtel, worst network, worst customer service

                                      Hi i have a prepaid airtel number [protected].
                                      It had stopped working and i got a new sim on 16th april. I am unable to send or receive any sms. It keeps failing.

                                      Without the sms, i am unable to do any financial transactions.

                                      Have tried reaching out to 121 multiple times but none of the call center options fit the category. There is no option to talk to an executive either.

                                      Please check and help close this on priority.

                                      I need to plan travel and without the sms none of the payment options are possible.
