There is a discrimination between prepaid and postpaid charges in airtel chennai circle. The post paid charges for unlimited calls, unlimited roaming for a month is ₹399 +18% tax whilenin prepaid the charges are ₹199 including taxes for 28 days. This is 50% lower than postpaid which is abnormal. Help needed to direct airtel to provide even offer to postpaid too.

    Hi,
    I've been facing service disruption (No service outgoing voice & sms) on my postpaid mobile # [protected] since last one month. Multiple complaints has been logged and both support & technical team closes the tickets w/o providing solution saying no issues at their side. The issue escalated to airtel appellate team and nodal office however no solution to fix my problem and not sharing the upc code for porting out.
    This is completely frustrating the customer.

    Start date of incident: 6th mar 2018
    Mobile: [protected]
    Desc of incident: mobile # no service (Outgoing voice & sms), also port out (Upc not provided) and charged for no service which is ecs activated, request waiver not taken

        Despite of my several request to customer care center anna nagar west no action has been taken so far every time iam recharging 4g pack but gets the speed and network of 2g. I think enough is enough this time if you are not going to take any action then i have to file a consumer case against it even i have all the evidence with me and going to swith to idea network.

          My aitel dth set of box is not working. I am raising the complaints for multiple times. Technician in not attending.
          1. After so many ads the call center person either pretending that they are call is not audible or the airtel signal is not correct... I am using airtel number...
          2. The communication is pathetic
          3. Most of tthe times they are not registering the complaint
          4. They say the arrange a callback — in 5 days i have not received any call back
          5. No local technical visited
          6. Every time taking as new complaint and taking 2days tim

          The Aittel people after multiple calls, replaced a swap set of box with the 350 ruperes charge and it does not have any of the features. and does not work yet times.
          I have raised a complaint on April 15 the complaint number is 73325871 . The local technicial visited multiple timees promised that he will replace the box. Waited for a month after listening to technician words.
          Today i called again to the customer care raised a request no .74478779.

          Now they are not willing to replace the set of box not they are ready to upgrade the box even i was ready to pay the the extra money. I have subscribed for one year package. I asked to refund the remaining amount so that i can go to other service provider.

          They are not ready to do any thing and clearly said they dont do it.

                I was supposed to get my refund by the 28/03/2018 and nothing refunded yet. I did raise this complain on 02/04/2018, however so far no call has been made to me to discuss the issue. It is so pathetic to deal with airtel nowadays. It's the worst company i hv ever dealt with. I want some one to contact to me asap to get this sorted. I am already up on filling a legal complain with consumer court now.

                    I have been following for my sim [protected] activation from feb'18 last week on my personal account after all the documents at chintal airtel store hyderabad-500054

                    I tried so many customer care executives at begumpet and airtel store chintal (500054). But there is no use.

                    All my financial transactions and important calls failed because of airtel.

                    People says me they are working for resolution from last 45 days.

                    Some of begumpet supervisors and team leader and escalation manager, people are giving false commitments and nobody is working for resolution.

                    01. Mahesh-supervisor
                    02. Ramya — supervisor
                    03. Vinay — supervisor.
                    04. Sai nath — supervisor
                    05. Subramanian — supervisor
                    06 bhargav — escalation manager : he is saying let you hold on call, he don't have any problem. — useless team.

                    I frustrated with everyone of airtel staff.

                    These people are behaving with customers like this. (45 days is not a enough time for resolving??? And teaching me airtel process.)

                            I have been charged excess for no use of the data card on my post paid card. I have been using rather not using the airtel data card since a few months and i am still billed excess beyond the post paid amount i am contracted to pay every month. I have not activated any additional service on the data card, why are additional services being activated and charged for without my consent.

                            I have made excess bill payment in the last few months and i don't intend to continue to do so in future. I had like the amount to be waived off that i was promised for. I have made multiple calls to place the complaint about the same and also asked for a confirmation mail or text regarding the waiver amount which i have not received and you have conveniently added it to my next bill as pending amount. I want the bill settled from your end and would like to discontinue the service i have not been using.

                            I would have continued to pay the bill happily without even using the services for the amount that i have agreed upon. But why am i being billed so much in excess when i don't even use the data card.

                            I want this addressed at the earliest and clear my pending amount and disconnect the services. This is the second time i have a terrible experience with airtel. I never would want to use your service nor would i ever recommend to anybody. I would like to close my association right here. And want no mails or calls from your end.

                              Its been a week since i am facing this issue. I have a plan of 1gb per day and 6gb addon data. I have a total stored of around 40 gb from the unused data carried on so once i exhaust my 1gn per day quota why i am a getting slow speed. Its as slow as 30kbps and is very very frustrating!!! I never had this issue in past.

                              Please listen to my request and do something about it

                                I am receiving unwanted sms charged to my mobile number [protected] airtel prepaid account by a$ftarot although i have registered for dnd. Each message eats away my currency by re.1 or less. Please stop this nuisance. This messages operate only during night, between 11pm and 5 am. So far i received about 20 such messages. Is airtel purposely doing this?

                                  I'm using airtel sim for last some weeks... And the main problem here is that whenever i am searching network there is not airtel network as result...
                                  You are claiming that your network is the fastest network,, but i am challenging that your network is the lowest, weekest and baddest network of the world.

                                  If you have dare prove me wrong.

                                      Airtel claim fastest 4G network but in Vaishali Nagar and Pratap Nagar, Jaipur download speed of Airtel 4G is 0.4MBPS .
                                      When complaint at [protected]@in.airtel.com reply received in your area our network is good means they feel customer is not important for them.
                                      Airtel gives there add in TV that fourth time okhla said fastest 4G network in India but this is not true in Jaipur capital of Rajasthan speed found 0.4mbps which is slower than 3G.

                                        I made an online recharge via PayTM app for Airtel Tamil Nadu - Prepaid for Rs. 509. PayTM showed me a confirmation for the same after 5 mins, but even after waiting for 20 mins, I didn't receive a recharge on my mobile. After navigating for 1 hour on an IVR call at PayTM, I was told that my issue can only be resolved at the operator.

                                        At this particular time, I did not even know what the issue was, I thought it was simply a case of bad transaction. Airtel told me that Paytm will "self" realize their mistake and refund my money in 10 working days. When no such procedure started on Paytm's side, I decided to contact them again. After threatening them with a Consumer's Court complaint, I got them to contact me. They told me that I recharged the number "[protected]" instead of "[protected]".

                                        After this I contacted airtel. After Waiting for 30 mins on an IVR call, I finally could speak to a service rep. He basically denied any assistance outright and told me that it was my mistake. I asked to speak to the manager. The manager after telling me that he could help me, told me that as I have made a mistake in more than 1 digit, the case is hopeless and that I have basically lost Rs.509.

                                        They fail to understand that even though I have made an error in more than 1 digit, it's human to do these mistakes and the company policies should be flexible enough to ensure that their customers do not incur such losses.

                                        I am hence using this platform to complaint about this issue, and hoping for a refund.
