On 24 march I was sent a message according to which I will get 10gb/month free data for six months on downloading airtel app but not given by the name Airtel
AJ-ARWINF. No such free data was given on my phone number and such messages do not respond as well after downloading MY AIRTEL APP.
I want to know why I was not given such data allowance if I downloaded the required app as part of the bargain.
I want to know whether the message was fraudulent one and if it was strict action should be taken against such fake offers

I will look forward to your action in this matter and I will be satisfied if I get the satisfied explanation
I have the message in my inbox that did state that I would get the offer as a proof

    On the payment of my airtel postpaid bill, i did not receive any acknowledgement slip, as the employee on the desk said, i will receive an sms confirming the payment. The complaint is about the same as i never received any such sms and further i am being forced to repay that bill again.
    Please look into the issue and resolve it asap. Hoping to see the details of my payments with the acknowledgement slip on future payments too.

    Thank you.

              Waiting or almost six months, constantly following up with airtel customer service get my network issue resolved, all in vain
              No body has bothered to visit my place to assess the issue. All i receive is one generic response that they are working on the upgradation.
              Six months past and nothing worked, customer services refuses to give a timeline for resolution.
              Sent an email to nodal, and they asked me to wait for another week, post one week will complete appleate and launch a consumer redressal

              Have vented out my frustration in constant tweets and fb posts
              Don’t know what to do.
              Airtel customercare is one of the worst in my experience

                Airtel has fraudulently activated the whatsmob services on numbers [protected] (Prepaid) and [protected] (Postpaid). Secretly deducting money without my knowledge. This is called cheating. I have requested to stop such stupid services on my phone numbers.

                I work in telecom sector, so don't try to fool me by saying teach me i have activated it by my self by mistake.

                You are requested to cancel the whatsmob service and not activate again.

                  I have a bought a new airtel postpaid connection on 6th april 2018 in chennai. At that time i submitted a copy of aadhar card (Which has the address of my native) together with verification done with fingerprinting. They asked me to provide the chennai address where i am staying, i was informed they will come for address verification. On next day i got call regarding address verification. They asked where i am staying i infromed that address. Then they asked when i will be available as i was out of city that day i asked them to come on monday after my office hours if they want to see me in person. But they issued the status as address cannot be traced and my number was blocked. Then i reached the help of customer care for which they told to contact me the nearest airtel showroom. When i visited the showroom they told that i need to purchase new number as i cant get the same number back. Unfortunately i linked all my bank accounts and uan pan, everything to this new number. I cant change the number. I cant receive the bank otp's, currently i was told that the address re verification was initiated and it ll get activated within 24 hrs.

                  I had requested for UPC from Airtel still they have not sent me the UPC and the they have deducted the money for the message and still they have not sent the UPC.In the University of Mysore campus we wont get proper signal hence i am opting for port.

                      Hi, i need some urgent help please. My mobile number was deleted without any notice. I’ve been using this number from past 10 years and all of a sudden this number stopped working and airtel customer care as well as airtel store people informed they are not able to find any record of this number and it looks like this number was deleted.
                      The problem is that i have this number updated in all my bank accounts as well as in all my policies i have enrolled in and to make matters worse i’m not available locally in india to sort out this matter. I have been getting all my one time passwords on this number only and now this number not working has made all my account transactions inaccessible. With this i’m no longer able to make any payments and not even able to transfer funds to any other account.
                      I am in a very hopeless situation and writing to you for any help you could do from your end.

                      My mobile number which was deleted is [protected]. My email id is [protected]@gmail.com
                      Please let me know if any further information is required.
                      Just to further update i got aadhaar also linked back in oct.

                          The problem i’m facing in order to get refund of the unsuccessful transaction done while recharging my airtel dth account no. [protected].
                          I initiated an online transaction to recharge my airtel dth through yes bank net banking using myairtel app on 12/feb/2018 but the transaction was not successful & my yes bank account was debited with the amount. Then later on that day i again recharged my dth which got successful. The details of the transactions are as follows:-
                          On 12th feb 2018 i tried to recharge my dth account twice, out of them one got successful & the transaction reference numbers are:-
                          1. First transaction[protected] – didn’t get any confirmation for this transaction of rs.299 but the amount was deducted from my yes bank account and the same is not refunded yet.
                          2. Second transaction[protected] –transacted using another bank account, got successful & my dth get recharged by rs.299.
                          Initially i raised the request with the airtel and got the reply (Reply mail attached) that the recharge has failed & they haven’t received the amount so they cannot refund the same.
                          Then i raised a complaint with the yes bank and they have given the confirmation (Reply mail attached) that the amount got successfully credited into the merchants account so they cannot refund the same.
                          As both the parties are denying to refund the amount i kindly request you to intervene in the matter to get the refund as early as possible.
                          I am also attaching the correspondence done with both the parties for your reference.

                              Hi, about rs.70 have been deducted from my prepaid account for health yoga service which i have never opted for!

                              I tried to reach airtel helpline through 121 and many other options but to no avail!

                              This is unacceptable. I want a full refund. I have been a loyal airtel customer for a very long time and i am hoping i would get a reply and a solution for problem asap!

                                Hi airtel team,

                                I have been applied with non used international data roaming charges on my postapid number and bill amount is approx. 20000+, which is just not feasible for me to pay the huge amount.
                                Though i have been provided with a 4720 waiver off on these, from nodal office, but it was agreed, that i would be only able to pay the bill amount of 50% out of these charges.
                                Kindly provide me waiver off, of further 5000rs. So that i can pay the amount remaining.
                                Further, as i have been paying my monthly rental regularly, so it comes from no where, that you can barr my number services.
                                Kindly un-barred all the services on my postpaid number, as i am facing all sort of banking and financial issues, due to the number not in active state.

                                For any further discussion, please call me at my alternate number - [protected].

                                Request you to immediately unbarr all the services on my postpaid number.
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                  I recharged my airtel number [protected] with 400 through my airtel app unfortunately the transaction was failed but the recharge money 400 was deducted from my account after some time again 400 was deducted. Totaly 800 was deducted for failed transaction.10 days have been completed till the money was not refunded. This was totally unfair.
                                  Refund my money as soon as u can

                                    I recharged the airtel digital tv on 3rd april, i received a msg regarding the same, the recharge is successful. On my account the balance shows, but i have no tv services till date. A msg is displayed in the screen, please recharge. Again i recharged today, 12 april, same no services yet. And the irony is, the balance keeps getting deducted from my account despite no tv services being offered. Airtel dth number [protected].

                                    Why have i even recharged for the month of april, if i'm given no services for the same month. I want a refund.

                                      postpaid to prepaid conversion fraud

                                      Airtel relationship store says that i need to wait for 90 days for postpaid to prepaid conversion on the same network (Airtel). However, airtel customer care number representative said otherwise. As far as i know, 90 days rule is only for mnp for one operator to another. Airtel people are fooling customers who are not aware of these laws. Please take strict action....
