I took data card no [protected] with advance rental for 3500. Intial paid 3000 and 500 separately. Without checking i got calls and being charged another 540 with interest to pay 660. Now again i see charge of 118. When i emailed they reversed 118 and again asked about 660 got refund 620 only. I irritated and my line got disconnected in between for non payment. I would like to claim 10k for the intolerance and ridiculous behaviour done to me after explaining so many times.

    I am bakhita, currently residing at australia for past 5 months.
    I have been using my brother's sim for past 8 years.
    Number : [protected] - max savio
    My number has recently been disconnected without any intimation. I have been receiving all bank related sms, but all of sudden the connection is disconnected. When i contacted the customer care, i was told that the number has been given to some one else and i am left with no option.
    Being away from india, it's not possible for me to change all my important contacts.
    Please provide me a solution to reactivate.

      An airtel postpaid connection used by my wife against mobile number [protected]. Your agent take documents from house and gave this connection against a faulse commitment that this postpaid plan under unlimited calls.

      Now we are suffering since last 4 months and unable to port it to prepaid from postpaid. But our nearest airtel store at naihati is refused me each time. So i stop your payment until the porting is done.

      Now the outgoing facilities are withdrawn. I am ready to clear the dues but at the same time u also port my connection.

      Please also note that after mar'18 i am not pay any single paisa agaist any charges.

      I wrote everything what happened and if there is no solution then i will be bound to take any legal action against airtel to get return back my existing number which is hold by a illegal way. Thanking you.

      Airtel 3g always no tower.
      its shows only emergency calls only
      3g tower come for only two days n
      other days no tower n emergency calls.
      I don't really have words to scold about the worst internet service provided by Airtel. Such a big company is not even able to give a basic internet service is shameful to the entire Telecom industry, we paid for the service but the service is not offered properly what section to book in ipc for this ?

        Dear consumer complaints team,

        Around 2+ months back, we initialized a service complaint to airtel. We humbly requested them to convert our postpaid connection to prepaid because for using 1-2 gb of internet we were getting more than 700+ inr bill every month.

        So we went to airtel gallery in kalyan city (The gallery is situated near kalyan station), mumbai, maharashtra. My dad requested the representative to convert postpaid to prepaid, to which representative said, sir it will be done in 3-4 working days and in some cases it will take 1 week. He agreed and said 'ok'. After 2-3 days, we received call from airtel representative, she asked us why we wanted to convert from postpaid to prepaid. Upon our answer she said fine sir, i'm processing your request, it will take 2-3 business days.

        2-3 passed by and we got no response. While at the end of the month on the billing date airtel slapped us with around 786 rs bill.

        For this bill issue, we went to the gallery, the representative said, sir your service have been disbarred for non bill payment. We failed to understand why the bill came at the first place, when we can placed conversion request..?? Anyways, after 1 month, we have been receiving constant follow up and harrassments from customer care and today (5th april, 2018), airtel sent one of their representative in our house to ask us why haven't we paid bill? To this we replied that we has raised the request for conversion, so how did the bill came in the first place?

        Details: dongle sim card number -[protected]
        Owner: varsha bhatia

        We request consumer forum, to please look into this and help us with closure of this case to waive off this amount being put to us by wrong malpractises and permanently remove our number from airtel postpaid because airtel representative have been calling us frequently for paying 2500+ rs bill, while we had officially told them to make it prepaid long 3-4 months back and we haven't even used the dongle since last few months, as the service have been disbarred, since we received the first bill of 786 rs.

        Looking forward for quick resolution.

            I have an airtel postpaid plan since 2004. I have never faced any issue except visiting matheran. Airtel's network never worked, however, recently since last 6 months i'm getting worst experience with airtel network.

            Wherever i go the experience is same. I have to try at least 5 times to connect or talk. Sometimes i don't hear the opposite caller, other times he can't hear me. Many time it can't connect. At times it disconnects abruptly!

            In fact, everyone in my family is experiencing the same issue with the airtel network.

            In spite of complaining many times, there is no solution from airtel. I have never come across such bad experience with any other company.

            We're planning to switch the service provider. Any suggestions?

              After a several days i used my airtel sim... I just found that my whole balance had been deducted by airtel, i have around 95 ruppes on my airtel sim.

              I haven't opt for any deduction of balance from a/c and never asked for any other a/c.
              I called several times on customer care numbers 121, 198 and spoke about 2 hours but they couldn't answer why the balance got deducted. Even when i am trying to register complaint they put me on indefinite hold. Customer service representative manager even transferred my call to gprs technical department which nothing to do with the balance deductions. Until now i didn't receive any reply on the same nor did i get the balance. This is the worst customer service experience i had with the airtel. I am using airtel from past 4 years and what i get is the disappointment and worst customer service. I am considering porting to other service providers.

              My airtel no.[protected]

                Mastipack was activated in my mobile without my request or knowledge. Another pack was activated and renewed without my request previously which i had canceled without any refund from airtel.
                They must be doing this on quite a large scale on unsuspecting customers and pilfering from their accounts.
                Kindly look into this irresponsible and dishonourable practices by airtel.

                    I am being overcharged on my prepaid calls.. For a call per minute, I'm being charged more than a rupee ! This is ridiculous ! Airtel, you'll owe me an explanation as to why am I being overcharged ? If this continues, I'm going to have to discontinue with Airtel services and switche to another mobile network .

                        Actually i'm currently using airtel prepaid sim and it's currently in 448/- plan. Unlimited calls, unlimited sms, 1.4 gb/day. Now the issue is i couldn't see live tv on hotstar app, which redirects automatically from airtel tv app. It displays a message saying it is accessable only on airtel network (I'm using airtel sim only for internet). Please check the above issue and let me know as soon as possible.

                            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.

                              This is the worst service any customer any experience from airtel.
                              I just want to switch my postpaid plan to prepaid plan to my [protected] number
                              It was suppose to be done in 4 days apparently being the worst service. Its been pending for 1 montheven mr. Jafar, manager of airtel gallery in naupada is good for nothing. The staff is such headless mr. Balram who doesnt the process. I need my number to be switched by today

But I am not able to mak ethat call, its saying -" dialled number does not exist ". Contrastingly, my collegue too has a Airtel mobile. He has no problem connecting to the call.

                                      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.
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
