Hi,

Today I have recharge my mobile number [protected] with 248 INR. Which shows offer as unlimited calling with 1.4GB data per day for 82 days in Airtel APP.

However I received only 3 GB one time data instead o[censored]nlimited calling and 1.4GB data per day for 82 days.

I have contacted customer care and they are saying this recharge is only for new customers who purchased new Sim. But in APP there no single word mentioned it is for new customers only.

Attaching screen shots of the same.

            My sim is not yet activated even after complaining for 8 days, (From 27/3/2018), several times to various airtel staff, some say it is activated will be released in 01hour again some say it is under deactivation. Everytime, everybody is asking the entire details without going through the complains made earlier inspite of giving complaint ref. No. Lastly, when i made the complaint today, (03/04/2018 - about 11/30 am-talked for 20 mts.) the staff is not even giving complaint ref. No. (Name k. Sureka). She is not giving the employee id. She even dares to complain against her for not giving the complaint reference no. When told that it is obligatory to give complaint no. And their staff have given it earlier, she stubbornly said she won't give it. Kindly activate my mobile no.[protected] immediately and take n take necessary action against her. - e. Karunanidhi

              Sir,

              Sub: airtel connections – nos. [protected], [protected] and [protected].

              The above postpaid numbers of airtel are registered in my name and are being used by my wife and children. Out of the three, two connections were ported to airtel as the earlier service provider was indifferent to the complaints/requests made by me.

              I have decided to convert the postpaid plan to that of prepaid for [protected] and accordingly visited your gallery at sector 15, belapur, navi mumbai on 22/03/2018. The experience at your gallery was not at all worth mentioning. One of your executive/staff was shouting to a customer, who visited the gallery with some problems.

              After waiting for some time, i could meet mr. Justine (Airtel friend justine as he is fondly described by airtel). It was a lengthy procedure to make the request. Though i am already a customer since many years, i had to fill the forms and submit photograph. I had to spend about 45 minutes for making a small request. I feel porting to some other service provider is easier than changing from postpaid to prepaid. I had reached the gallery about 3.00 pm. You can verify the fact from the cctv footage available at the gallery.

              After providing aadhar copy, i requested mr. Justine to link the same to my numbers. He told me that only after converting from postpaid to prepaid only linking of aadhar can be done and for that i will have to visit the gallery again. On my request to link aadhar to my another number, [protected], though he tried, the same was not possible for the reason best known to him. I had also paid bill of rs.230 on pro-rata basis for conversion from postpaid to prepaid.

              Overall i had a very bad experience. It proves that airtel is not changing for good. I had an occasion to make similar complaints in the past, to be precise in february 2015 after visiting your gallery at vashi.

              After completing the formalities at the gallery at sector 15, belapur, navi mumbai, i was provided with a fresh sim card with instructions to replace with the existing sim card within the next 3-4 days, when the new sim card will work as pre-paid.

              Now, even after 10 days, the conversion from postpaid to prepaid has not been taken place. I wonder when the airtel people will consider my request and do the needful.

              I hope, at your level, action will be taken and my request will be acceded to. Further, i hope to receive a proper response as to why my request has not been considered till now.

              In case of telephonic contact, please call me on [protected] or [protected] as the subject number is used by my daughter.

              Thanking you,

              Yours faithfully,

              Premarajan m

                          I have received message from my airtel app today morning that recharge 248 and get 1.4 gb/day and unlimited calls for 82 days. I had proof of that in the form of screen shot. After recharge only 3 gb of data credited to my account. Sir who is responsible for misleading to recharge. Airtel company people are suddenly change the plan in the app after complaining to customer care. The customer care people sitting are totally irresponsible and their response is pathetic. Sir i want my money back. Because other companies are giving 3gb data at rs 51. Why should i pay 248. I want justice. Please act as soon as possible.
                          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                          Air tel is act to my complaint and credit the balance yesterday. I like to thank Consumer complaints forum and also Air tel regarding this.

                            wrongly recharged other number

                            Address: Indore, Madhya Pradesh, 452010

                            Today while using "my airtel" application i was checking some offers on my dad's contact number, later on with the same application i tried to recharge my number and it recharged my dad contact number, even i'm logged in the application with my own contact number.
                            I called up customer care and had a talk with an executive he, instead of giving solution to my complaint, denied any help from the side of airtel.
                            Now my dad's number...

                                Dear sir

                                I would like to take only few minutes of you’re kindly help me solving my issues

                                When team and managers of airtel say that they will discuss your issues with their nodal manager and get back to you so it means they should get back to me and should not call time and again and harass me for paying bill,
                                Airtel always over promised and under deliver

                                There are several time when you (Airtel) keeps changing their words

                                This was my problem and till now no solutions

                                Regarding our payment of mobile number [protected] and [protected] when we had a word with one of their representative for roaming plan nothing was mentioned to us later the following was the communication.

                                When i had a word with airtel representative they said that for the over charged bill rs 3000 per person amount will be adjusted (As they will wave off the said amount and to my surprise again i got a mail with the revised amount wherein the adjustments amount is mentioned nowhere. (No adjustment were made to any of the number)
                                Yesterday while on call i told by one of the airtel representative that while doing roaming the customer care person never told be about add on package which was activated on my phone also on which she mentioned (Ok sorry its a mistake from our side i really apologize for that i will wave off that rs550 addon. I have a question when it is a mistake from airtel end its ok they will wave off the amount otherwise they will keep a person on a gunpoint and take out the money.
                                If we are on roaming plan so how the data got used so much isnt roaming plan has internet usage also. Do you think if person is traveling they ll not take a roaming plan.

                                As mention data usage on my bill i disagree on the usage which is mention in the bill i dont know how it is mentioned because we where on islands where there was no service was available and we lived on wifi even at mumbai airport and even on srilanka airport. While at mumbai and srilanka airport i receive a message of 7000 and immediately switched off my data package and i believe you also know that all airports provide wifi and phone need to be switched off or have to be on flight mode when you are at flight i am not denying that we mustn’t have used yes we have used but not more than the message what we got 6000 to my husband and and 7000 to me. I can afford to pay the limited payment not more than that we will not pay this huge amount. Because of this wrong billing i am willing to pay only the message what my husband and me got for the usage that is 6000 and mine 7000.
                                All the calls have been recorded for the training and quality purposes i request you to kindly see how many times i have had discussed my issues and how many time i have got fake promises of getting back to me with a solution it’s been a month and i a still awaiting reply
                                Also i received called from the higher end manager where he was very rude and he said the reading of data usage for my bill is correct and its accurate. He was forcing me to accept and pay this huge amount of 30, 000 for me and 9000 for my husand
                                Sir if you go and see in airtel gallery there are 120 people arguing and fighting only about excess bill
                                Sir airtel people is chor and liar

                                Awaiting the earliest reply

                                    I did a recharge today on airtel using my airtel app. Value displayed was rs 248 and the benefits were 1 gb data per day, unlimited calling etc for 82 days. When i completed the recharge, 3gb data was credited to my airtel account balance for 28 days. I refreshed the page again and found that the benefits i was looking for were available for rs 448. I refreshed 3-4 times and found the same benefits were available for rs 248. I took a screenshot of the same.
                                    There is a bug in this app that sometimes it shows wrong amount for different benefits.
                                    Please get this resolved as soon as possible.
