I have re-charged my mobile phone on two occasions at short intervals recently. You have, on your own, dragged me into the so called services, i. E classy and glam videos and gamepind services and charged me without my consent. Thereby i have lost a good amount against my balance which now stands at a very low level. It is not unfair on your part to debit my a/c for such services, wherein i am not interested, without my consent.. I use my mobile phone (Being an 85 year old senior citizen) only to communicate with friends and relatives.in future please do not deduct any amount for such games which i do not and would not wish to take part in. If you do so, i will be compelled to come out of airtel, with which, not one or two but many years, i and the members of my family, are related.

              This is regarding claim no.3019370
              You guys rejected my claim stating that my handset was damaged under mysterious conditions as far as i know phone falling down in an accident is not that mysterious
              You just want a reason to reject my claim and the worst part is you stating i was not being able to reach as you didn’t contact the primary number provided and was calling the secondary number provided what a lame reason
              Secondary what does it mean why don’t you call the primary number why do we even have a primary contact and you are least bothered about the mails we send that’s what was said by your representative when he called me to say that my claim was rejected why did he call the primary number this time and not when it is actually required
              Cheating customers by all these services is it required for airtel

                    I didn't activate any service called bollywood scoop but airtel operator wantedly started such service and they deducted 90+ rs from my account. I don't know how to react to this stealing. I can't do anything except quit from airtel. I check with airtel customer care operator, they said i started bollywood scoop service in the middle of february 2018. I recharged my number on 12 april, after successful recharge with in few minutes they deducted 90+ rs from account. I am very ashamed of airtel operator.

                      I have been facing indoor mobile network coverage issue at my flat since 5 months when i have shifted here at c-253, flat no. 104 shapoorji pallonji, sukhobrishti, new town action area - iii, kolkata. Dispite of lot of complaints. No resolution has been provided. Seriously why the hell they say india's no. 1 network. Not only me, everyone is facing the same issue here, not even a single signal inside flat. Looking for a quick resolution, its a severe issue.

                      Customer Care number has a boring and irritating message being played for the entire duration of being on hold and then finally the calls gets auto disconnected, never reaches a human.
                      I had requested for a data recharge, but while in the transaction process it just stopped and it even debited money from the bank account without recharging the data. Absolute garbage

                            Hi, my customer id is [protected], i have requested for transfer of my airtel dth on 29th march'18. While uninstallation at my old place the agent charged me correctly 150/- but while installing at new place the new agent has overcharged 540/- which should be actually 250/-, i have raised complaint on 5th april'18 with customer care with all the details but there was no action on that complaint. When i have called back on 13th april'18 the supervisor named saloni spoke to me very carelessly and she says there is no complaint at all and when i requested her to at least try to address the issue from now then she says the new address has not been updated in there system, so no action would be taken on the complaint. This is ridiculous when i am giving the name, address of the agent who has overcharged me she is not even bothering to ask that person instead she is talking about the system not updating the info. I understand now this the reason the airtel agents are taking advantage of this loopholes in airtel process.

                                Regarding previous complaint (Docket number: 673569), airtel service provider did not do anything on my compliant they simple called me and my said the same story what they said earlier and didn't give any resolution and simple closed the issue. For the interest of time, i spent some more money (Rs. 199/-) to renew my plan and i am not happy with the action there are taken.

                                Another complaint: now, i have faced one more problem with this provider & would like to complain about it (Dated: april 13, 2018). Issue is today this service provider activated "askadoctor" value added service without my confirmation & acceptance and deducted money (Rs. 30/-) from my talk time account balance and i called customer care regrading this they are saying that this service is activated through sms confirmation at early morning 4:26 am. My argument with them is i did attend any sms or call about the activation how can you activate the service. Here my question is how the service provider deduct my talk balance without my confirmation.

                                And, i am attaching sms images sent by this provider after activation of the unwanted service. And i have conversation audio while talking with airtel customer care, but i cannot upload that file as it is 36 mb file.

                                Thanks,
                                Suresh.

                                    Why airtel deducted my prepaid amount from my number :[protected]? This is a robbery with me, done by airtel. Please refund the deducted amount in my mobile :[protected].
                                    This is the reason we hate thief airtel.
                                    Thats why jio has gained popularity & its business is growing day by day due to its honest policies & airtel business is diminishing day by day.

                                      Dear sir, initially i used airtel postpaid sim, but due to bad network in my village i go to airtel store beed to close the postpaid sim, but they are not took my request for 2 months, after that i complaint the same to their upper store officer and they took my request and told me to pay previous bill. However 2 month before they didnot took my request to close the postpaid sim due to unavailability of their store services and for the same they generated the bill amount. After that i paid the amount and till now they did not closed/ported my sim to prepaid. They waste our time and money to reach their offices every time for document submission and sim close. I request you to take strong action against the airtel.

                                        Every time i make a call to any phone no. From other than airtel network, i used to get a recorded voice "all network are busy".

                                        But when i call any no. From airtel network, i get connected immediately, how is this possible

                                        Looks like airtel purposely doing this to their customers because of heavy competitions from other network providers, this is injustice, and this will lead the consumers to shift to other networks, i am also thinking of that
                                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
