          Dear sir / madam
          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.

          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.

                        First i got a message saying lifestyle services has been activated on your number for 1 day for free. And when later i recharged my mobile for ₹50 for an emergency purpose i got a message saying ₹35 has been deducted for lifestyle service and i still am unaware of what this service is. How you airtel people can activate a service on my number without my permission and straight away deduct my money without my consent. Is this your new way of cheating people? Really disappointed.

                              Sir,
                              My phone number is [protected]. Today I recharged my balance with 50 Rs. When I came home I got text message that Modelmaniaw service is being activated for 35Rs due to which 35Rs were deducted from my account. This service was activated without my consent. I never requested for this service. I have deactivated my service.So this is my request for refund of 35Rs.

                              Please take this matter into consideration.

                                Dear airtel,

                                W are using airtel prepaid for the past 13 years. From last 3 months we are not getting the signal inside our home. So please do clear my issue as four persons are using airtel in same home. It has become a great issue with our office, friends and relatives. They think that as if we are purposly rejecting calls. So please try to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Since you are the only trusted provider, we expect the sincere and instant service from you. Thank you

                                  Dear nodal officer,
                                  This is bhaskar kundu, one of airtel postpaid customer, using airtel service since 2009. My airtel postpaid number - [protected]

                                  Last thursday 29th march - i got a call from airtel call centre and they told, they are offering me 2 sim free of charge. These 2 numbers
                                  Airtel mobile numbers [protected] and [protected].

                                  They told they are offering free to test airtel network by existing customers. I told them very clearly (Also sent a mail on that day 29th march) that i will use it if and only if it is free (Otherwise please cancel it)

                                  Now today airtel replied me that it is not free and i told them cancel immediately (As i already told) and i will not pay anything however they told to pay pro rated rental. (See below mail)

                                  I never asked for any additional connection from airtel and still they forced activated these 2 number in my name and surprisingly told me to pay prorated bill.

                                  Please take necessary action

                                  Regards,
                                  Bhaskar kundu

                                      Unable to reach customer care my data was not credited i tried calling 198 half and hour no body on phone. After getting fedup i changed my service provider . When will these companies learn customer centric approach.

                                      Still reaching these people is mess . I think anyone can call 198 and reach no body half an hour of faltu plans .
                                      Which are of no competetive advantage
