Website: airtel.in

I have been sent a bill by airtel amounting to 34000 rupees, whilst on international roaming in iran.
tel no. [protected]
The network available there was 2g, that too super slow. As per my phone data records, i have used around 40 mb, whilst the customer service is telling different data amounts every time, 40 gb, 4 gb. First time they called and told me i have been billed 4 lac rupees, and its discounted to 34000.
After that only the guy for recovery is calling me regularly, whilst the airtel customer care guy is himsel[censored]nclear about data billed, and on every call telling vague numbers.
If such a big company is doing such kind of cheating and fraud, the only recluse might be the consumer courts and to sue them for 10 times of the amount billed, and the mental agony caused.

          Hello,
          I am not getting airtel signal at my home and lodged a complaint with airtel
          The service request is put on hold as per the status i see in the app. Nobody from airtel bothers to update status or brief me on what is happening.
          I myself have done multiple follow up calls, but no use.
          I am highly dissatisfied with this kind of attitude from airtel and will definitely terminate the connection

              Airtel activated VIDEOPINDW without my permission, and they continually deducted money for 3 times, I need clear explanation about this and this is worst behaviour from Airtel which can't be tolerated.

                I deposited 10000 in my airtel payment wallet. After deposit when i tried to use the amount then it was showing you cannot debit this amount account is freezed. So i contacted customer care they asked for my aadhar card and pan card and bank statement of my transaction. I sent all then they said your dob is not correct in our record so we cannot unfreeze your account until you converted your account in airtel payments bank saving account and to convert into saving account i need to verify my kyc via aadhar which is not available as aadhar canceled airtel license. So i cannot use my money. I am waiting since 50days. But no resolution happen. Please unfreeze my account as i am giving all proof of my dob.

                  Dear sir,

                  I am a resident of paras seasons, sector 168, noida.

                  I had purchased airtel broadband connection on 10th march 2018 by paying advance 6 months amount (As the dealer insisted that by paying advance amount for longer period, it will cost me lesser monthly rental). I had paid rs. 5428/- (Caf number:[protected], the dealer had promised that the connection will be activated either same day in evening or latest by next day morning (I. E. 11th march 2018). However they kept delaying it, and i kept calling them up to get it activated, and they kept saying it will be done. This wasted my entire weekend as i kept waiting for their representative to come and activate the connection. I also requested them to return my money so that i could get the connection through some other service provider but they are not even ready to return my money.
                  This is complete harassment, they could have clearly told me that this will not happen so i would not have wasted my 2 days chasing them. I kept waiting for them to resolve this till late night of 12th march as they said it will happen today but ultimately they stopped taking my calls and neither they came for activating my account.
                  Please help me to get my money back and take proper action against the service provider and dealer so that they can not harass other customers in future.

                  Regards

                  I applied broadband service from airtel and paid Rs.500 as installation charges but as the promised pack speed was not upto par so i cancelled before installation, but i was not paid back the installation charges afterward and i'm not even able to contact the person in charge.
                  I have ported my [protected] number into another network but it's not changed to that network.

                    My airtel number was of delhi circle and i requested for porting to karnataka circle on 3rd march 2018. They did aadhar verification also. I received the confirmation message on the 8th march. At 10pm my old sim was deactivated and new sim did not work. It said 'network not available'.
                    After this, i made so so many calls to customer care and they said they had no information regarding this number n i should contact the airtel store where i had forwarded the request.
                    I went again to the store to get my sim activated. They gave me a new sim n said it will be activated in next two days. They have applied for processing! And when i check with customer care, they still have no information!! And want me to re visit the store. And when i check with store, they have no response received yet from the back end.

                    Where do i go now?! That number of mine is the registered number at all legal places and my day to day life is stuck!!
                    I escalated the matter to higher official too.. But no response still!!

                    called customer care a multiple times but no help.
                    I was using Jio before this & I must say the customer service & product are much better.

                      Poor Network at my home leading to frequent call drops. Despite repeated complaints and follow ups, Airtel has refused to improve service. First complaint was logged on July 13, 2017 and ever since Airtel has been sitting on this issue without resolving it.

                                Dear Sirs,

                                I've been an old customer of airtel and am sr. citizen (dob 9/9/47). Today I observed that a hefty deduction from my balance on 12/03/2018 has been done. I dont use data-pack, hence am surprized to find this large deduction. Kindly reverse my balance and oblige me to continue airtel.

                                Thanking you,

                                (SK Gupta)

                                  I forgot my mpin number, due to this i am not recharge my own airtel number and not able to reset my mpin number. I called customer care, they told me that they are helpless. I also dial *400 # but they give me only two option one for airtel wallet and other for airtel payment bank. When i choose airtel wallet i didn't get any option to reset my mpin number. And i didn't able to reset my number. I need call from airtel (Concern department) on my number [protected] to resolve my problem. Rupesh kumar

                                    I made sim change request on 7th march 2018 for mobile number [protected]. However, till date my sim hasn't got activated and unable to detect airtel network.
                                    Daily visiting airtel stores in rajarajeshwarinagar but they are saying there has been some technical issue and would be sorted out.. They have been promising me of getting it done few hours..

                                    However, i am not sure when this issue could get sorted out and i can use my number. Mine is a corporate connection and if this doesn't get sorted out i need to cancel the a/c and inform the same to the management.

                                    With regards,

                                        This is a letter I'm writing to airtel on[protected].

                                        Dear Airtel,

                                        I am a new customer to you since i ported from vodafone to airtel just a week back.

                                        I find the service of airtel to be too lousy and annoying.

                                        My number is (XXXXXXX868). I recharged with super saver pack of Rs.448 for which voice sms and data are unlimited for 82 days.

                                        I recharged my voice pack with additional Rs.100 just after I started using your Sim card. Since I use iPhone, I've the option of iMessage. But continuosly amounts of 5rs has been deducted three times in a single day. You already know that iMessage works on internet. Still I dont know why you have decuted that amount. Hence I disabled iMessage service on my phone to prevent such irrational deductibles from airtel for which I've not paid.

                                        But today, i.e.,[protected], Rs.25 has been deducted from my account on the basis of which I'm unaware of.

                                        Because of your illegal deductions of my balance I had to stop iMessage scared of further such happening.

                                        You are literally making me regret for having ported to airtel. I had no such problems from my previous carrier(Vodafone).

                                        Hence I demand an answer for this immediately.

                                        I want all the deduction details on which basis you have deducted my balance.

                                        And you customer service sucks. Dialing 121 reaches you no where except you end up all psyched up due to dead slow IVRS. You have to understand that people call to solve their problems and discuss with you for further resolution. They dont call you just because they are free. You need to respect the demand of your customer.

                                        PLEASE clear all my doubts quickly before I take a decision to leave your carrier services and getting ported to some other carrier.

                                        Yours faithfully
