First Airtel Fraudently opened digital bank account on number [protected],
then they freezed my account, due to which i am not able to perform any debit transactions from this account.
I've filed a complaint (Airtel reference number 1774071 - Aadhar copy submitted at [protected]@airtelmoney.com), but no one is doing anything in this matter. The mobile is already aadhar linked and all papers already submitted.
Their physical Airtel stores are of no use, they are not interested in unfreezing my account. On dialing 400, no IVR option takes me to a customer care executive.
Please someone guide me to RBI/ombudsman link, to complain about them.

            Dear,
            Airtel has charged me for an unknown VAT service (HOUSEOFMODELS). The service has been activated in my number without my concern. I even don't know what it was. I have lost 75 Rs on this.

            Their standard reply would be that we have clicked something but we don't.

            Please look into complaint and prevent it from happening in the future. Thanks.

                  I have a fixed line & broadband plan from airtel which was working normal till eom - jan, 2016. But airtel pushed me to go vfibre, first they promised that you get 24 mbps speed in heart of bangalore.

                  Things seemed to be good for 10 day's and since feb, 2016 till date it has gone worst. First they don't have good infrastructure, good technicians and reliable service. They only are good in paid media advertisement.
                  They sell connections, but to pity they have 0.4 mbps download and 8 mbps upload plan. The good part of airtel is their billing, inspite of no services they definitely expects you to pay.

                  Infrastructure wise, they are still using old copper cables, boosting the n/w to provide services, which every alternate weeks breaks down. Have spoken with multiple airtel subscribers and all complain of the same issue.

                  I have numerous complains, but they close the same with out consulting with me. On one occasion one of the customer service manager of airtel told me - "airtel policy states that customer feedback is not necessary to close tickets". Which literally means customer in india doesn't matter to airtel.

                  This is a fraud company, please friends - if you have better options look for it first. Doesn't revert or choose airtel incase you have alternative.

                    My number is not working in the usa for anything sms, incoming and outgoing. Please let me know how to get it activated. My number is valid and was bought less than 6 months and brought to usa with the intent o[censored]sing in international roaming for incoming and outgoing calls and messages. It says sim is not provisioned. It used to work initially when i came to the us. Recharge is also returned and not successful.

                    I have wasted my money on Airtel SIM card hoping it works and has lost trust in this connection. I need an answer quickly as I need to use roaming while traveling next week. Shame on this service!

                        Airtel is the most fraudulent company in india. Every company knows by the services and product. Airtel customer care service is very poor and as per my case, all customer care are not doing there duty honestly. I had many discussion in my company also about this type of culture. This culture starts from top to bottom. If company senior employees are not doing job seriously/honestly then i am 100% sure it will affect those company juniors also. I start complaining from 24th march and call to customer care but everyone is asking please give us 24 hours. It almost 14 days and my small case to migrate the sim from postpaid to prepaid is still pending. Airtel gives only one training to all his employees to say sorry every minute and asks for wait next 24 hours. Airtel doesn't have good software for customer issue tracking or case management. Every time i have to explain all thigs and they ask the silly question seems they don't have any software or very poor quality software.
                        All airtel employees are poorly trained and they got this training to make money only not wants to do any work. All airtel employees are master in shifting the calls and they don't want to work on any complaint or issue. Maybe this also can be a region that why all airtel customers are migrated. The company knows by its services and product, so please stop these frauds and change your mind to earn quality name and do some work. I would like to point out that there is nothing wrong with making money and to have sustainable business growth so as to provide better service year by year which may ultimately be beneficial to end user.

                          Hello,

                          My airtel 4g hotspot no is [protected]. I could not understand the data usage being shown in airtel app and called to understand the same. The executive, vivek, who attended the call, isn't only purely trained but rude and out and out has a bad behaviour. As per my plan 699, i get 8 gb per month and 2 gb per day. I couldn't understand the consolidated data amount shown. He informed me that 30 gb extra is being provided for 3 billing cycles. Previously, when it wasn't, in a regular billing cycling i could see the per day data added each day, i asked him, he said that it cannot be seen. I failed to make him understand that it could be seen without the free data that is being given to me. When i said him repeatedly that i cannot understand him, he said 'he is giving right information, it's my problem that i am not understanding'. I do not understand with what audacity he says that when he is under trained and fumbling!! For this attitude and a list of things i am mentioning below, i can sue airtel. This is just a reminder for that.

                          1. Your employees are badly trained and do not understand customer issues. I have repeatedly said that. If one is not comfortable in english, why don't you change the calls they receive, they should take calls in regional language. There is no harm in speaking in other languages, but any language they speak, please train them properly in a particular one.

                          2. Last month i complained about network issues, your engineer said me its device issue and asked me to change it. Unless i would have persisted that its network issue, you would not have worked on upgrading the network site. It was wrong information and it was trying to mislead the customer. Plus i had loss of work.

                          3. A customer has work and is not irate without reasons.

                          If i want i can send you a legal notice for misbehaving and harassment with the customer (Which you can check in your recorded calls) including loss of work of the customer.

                            I have raised a complaint in the month of august with airtel customer care and they have informed it will be resolved in 90 days. I have been regularly following up with the team. But there is no follow up from airtel on the issue. We are still facing the issue. Mine is a postpaid number and i am also making the payment regularly but airtel is not ready to compensate. I have an unused data of 164 gb as not able to use internet at my home and the advertisement given by airtel says they are selected as fastest network by okhla.in which i think they have a tie up with okhla to give them this certificate as when i'm in office also people say my number is not reachable where in my airtel prepaid is reachable. As the internet is not working at home, i had to install a local internet facility at home

                                    I have bought an airtel sim recently about 3 month back. The vendor provided 3 months of free internet and calling. After the 3 months are over, the balance and data pack went to 0 and so i recharged with a top-up of 199/- twice, one via airtel website and two via paytm website. But on both the ocassions, balance had been detected and recharge not done. So, i have payed a total of 398/- an still has 0 balance on my phone and no refund. My number is [protected]. Please assist. Thanks
