I did not opt for any value added service but services like kids zone charging rs. 25 for 5 days and spuul movies service charging rs. 150 for 30 days has been activated without my consent. I even tried to call the customer care but no response has been given from there side. Recently, in the morning i got a recharge of rs. 210 and now only rs. 3 is left as my account balance.

What should i do now?

      I urgently need international roaming activated basic plan 149 rs for a month from 10th may 2018. However am unable to get the activated despite multiple efforts on internet and also on 121 customer care number. Two conversations on customer care number with 1/2 hour waits and yet problem not resolved and i am expected to call again. This basic issue should have been resolved within 2 calls but yet not satisfied if this will be closed and am expected to call time and again to chase up for this.. Feeling exasperated!

              I am complaining about my airtel number ([protected]) delhi. I withdrawal duplicate sim from meerut airtel store but it is not started yet now. When i call customer care 121 they don't reply a satisfactory answer and tell me to call [protected]. But this number is not reachable. If delhi number can not be started from meerut. Why they issued me duplicate number from meerut.

                  I had ported my no. From vodafone to airtel. Reason of porting was vodafone data was not good.

                  I was given assurance from airtel person who has called me that you will get better service in airtel. Since last 2.5 months i was very busy in my office work so most of the time i was in office.in office airtel network is good.
                  Since last 2 weeks i have started using the phone in my home connectivity is very bad for calls, forget about data.
                  I have to go in balcony or go down in building compound to talk as connectivity for call is very very bad. Most of the time people are not able to contact me if my phone is inside the house.
                  On [protected] someone from network team had call, i gave him live example i had to go down in building compound and talk.
                  On [protected] someone from network team had called i was not able to talk and network went off, after that i did not get call from network team.
                  From [protected] i was trying to talk to nodal office but i was not able to connect to them so i called from [protected] and spoke tosana (Nodal team) while speaking to her i had to keep my mobile in front of window and she also could feel the disturbance and voice cracking/disconnecting in between.
                  If you need any further proof send your person to my place and tell them to use my phone and talk.

                  Here sorry to say vodafone network for call was 100% times better then airtel.

                  In last week, i have done a blunder of porting my other two vodafone nos. To airtel and as on today all my three phones are on airtel and network is not good not sure whose call i will miss. Data also does not work properly.

                  Will highly appreciate if you can resolve the network issue asap, if you are not able to resolve the issue soon, let me know the process of porting back to vodafone.

                  Here i will say it is not my issue, i was given assurance service will be good which is not. Also when you have given me the no. You should have checked whether there is services available in my residence area or not.

                  I have raise the complaint for all my three nos. Will highly appreciate your prompt response in this matter.

                  [protected] my primary no. Ported around 3 months back. Complaint ref no. 85105843
                  [protected] ported week back, stated airtel service today. Complaint ref no. 85106331
                  [protected] ported week back, started airtel service today. Complaint ref no. 85107257

                    I was using a a postpaid connection from airtel which i requested to migrate to prepaid as there is no network coverage in my current area. First 3-4 attempts when i went to the store in sarjapur road bangalore (Full address of the store: 65/1 c, ground floor, near pragathi motors, kaikondanahalli, sarjapur road,, sarjapur road, bangalore, karnataka 560103) they tried every possible way to retain me but i decided to migrate. On 13th april 2018 i paid the outstanding amount and provided my document for the migration. The lady (Swetha) from the mentioned store completed the formalities and told me the process will start on 16th april as their back-end doesn't work on weekends. From then after following up for another 13 days my number got deactivated on 26th april 2018 via otp process and they told me that my new prepaid sim will be activated within 48 hours. But unfortunately from 29th arpil till today (10th may 2018) i am following up via every possible channel (Store, 121 service, twitter, facebook) but it is not yet resolved. The executive by name harish from the mentioned airtel store, is the one who took up my request to resolve up on every time i call him is giving me one response saying "we have escalated the issue to our back-end and waiting for response.

                        No: [protected] has been used for the past 2 years. The sim card was lost on dec 29, 2017, post that multiple times have visited airtel pos, as well called customer support, no used by my old father, no back up no is held by him, no connected to his aadhar, salary account, social media etc.

                        Airtel is incapable to provide even after multiple attempts, technical issue from their side, have collected more than 5 duplicate sim cards, but none of them got activated, worst attitude from customer service.

                          I recharged my airtel dth with rs 100 and activated start sports of cost rs. 65. Remaining amount is rs. 35. After some days my balance rs. 35 is deducted automatically. I called to customer care and asked why my balance is deducted, then they told they activated some english channels. I asked them that i never requested to activate these channels then why you activated and they asked some other person activated this i don't have idea about it.

                          This thing happens several times with me. Last year my 350 amount is lost same way.

                          Are airteldth are fraud?

                                  Sir,
                                  I found many self activated services has been activated without my knowledge. Everytime when i recharge my mobile (Protected number) i found my balance become low within two days without any usage. On april 27 2018, u renewed a charge of rs. 5 for game arena and on april 28, 2018 u renewed a charge of rs. 25 for game suite and on may 10, 2018 u renewed a amount of rs. 25 for game arena. I feel something bad on your services now. I wish to change my network if you are not returning the amounts deducted.. Hereafter don't activate any foolish services on my mobile..

                                    I am unable to redeem my winnings of airtel freehit to my paytm account. Whenever i click on redeem, all i am getting is a blank screen and nothing else. I have mailed them many times but didn't get a working solution yet. They don't even reply to my mails. I already have a working paytm account with the same number i registered on airtel tv app. I just want them to transfer my winnings in my registered paytm account as i am not getting that option in my airtel tv app.

                                    The rules says if I don't withdraw my money within 40 days, money will be gone. It's already been a month and I haven't heard from Airtel yet. I am not sure if my issue will be resolved.

                                      Dear airtel we all know that you are going through a difficult phase after the launch of jio, but please have some courtesy towards your existing custmer.
                                      Airtel is having the worst network in my area in delhi, i am managing any how with this but since 3 days they are terminating all the calls except on airtel no. Also they have blocked porting facility. I am able to message to all other number in country except 1900, what the hell yar, this is the way you have started carrying out your business. Have some repect and allow customers atleat to port their no. If you are not able to serve.
