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,

                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.

                    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
                    Dheeraj

                      I am using Airtel network([protected]) for last 7years. Last week i got an offer of Rs399 Pack which gives unlimited call+1gb/day data for 84days. When i checked this offer in my mobile there's an option to activate the pack with main balance. So i recharged my number for main balance of Rs.405. When i activated that pack it shows your pack is booked for 72hours. But actually it didn't activated even i had the main balance of Rs.405. So i had decided to contact Airtel customer service. But they said you can't activate that pack with your main balance. So why does it show an option to activate the pack with my main balance. They have to mention it clearly whether you can or can't. They coolly said recharge that pack directly, when i had already invest Rs.400 for this pack. Ok, there's an another pack of Rs.199 for 28days. I decided to activate atleast this pack. It also had same problem but there's an option to activate. They said you can't activate both the packs with main balance. Please go for direct recharge. After all this problem again i tried to activate Rs.399 & Rs.199 with the main balance for my luck. But got the same result. Midnight i got another offer of Rs.149. As usual again i went for that Rs.149 Pack because I had to use my main balance. The result is same. But after 5min i received the confirmation message for activation of Rs.149 Pack. So i was happy to see that. But when i checked my main balance i got to know that i had only Rs.56 out of Rs.405. So again i called to customer service, they told that you have activated two packs of Rs.199 & Rs.149. That day was really terrible for me. There is no confirmation message for Rs.199 pack activation and also the pack which can't activate from main balance already they said. Now i lost Rs.149 in this problem because of Airtel's poor support regards recharge offers. I tried everything to claim the balance, but there's no use. Please help me in this problem. My Number is [protected], Airtel network.

                        My balance was deducted twice from 6th march to 9th march 2018 without any reason. After conversation with customer care, i came to know,
                        1. One of the reasons is that somehow i crossed the border of india and airtel found that and deducted balance from my account. International roaming!!!
                        2. And somehow i tried to download some content and which is more than my internet balance. So, airtel deducted total charges from main account not a single penny from my existing internet balance!!

                        Is these reason justified??

                          All the three transactions failed and the amount was deducted from my bank account. The bank was intimated about the failed transactions but the bank confirmed that the merchant transactions were complete and no amount was reimbursed.

                          It is requested that the transaction id be rechecked with the relevant authorities (Airtel.in, payment portal and the bank) and the amount be accordingly be reimbursed in my bank account.

                              We checked other application also and found that my name is showing everywhere for this number [protected]. This number didn't confirm by airtel for allocated user. Airtel is declining to stop this service which allocated to other and allocate to me.

                              Now a days everything is depend on mobile number even bank, social id, business, how trai, government or any company will make rule that if any number will not be active then you will assign to other without informing to customer? When privacy is breaking and 100 percent possibilities that it will be misused? Should we not put pil in supreme court?

As per airtel - they said that the back-end team working on and tuning to improve the signal strength. However they did not validated the place [my home & apartment] they said that the issue got resolved. Again i re-open the same compliant and it is still open. No proper action taken as of today. Airtel service team saying some or the other answers but issue is still remains same.

                                  I am call airtel customer care he said i am resolve your problem but you pay engineer visit charges.

                                  If three months warranty why i am paying engineer visit charges.

                                    Its been more then a year. They haven't solved my complain. When ever i call the customer service and i have visited the airtel gallery many times. They give a new sim card and tell me that the problem will b solved later. After complaining many times, they gaveme a reason that new towers will b coming and your problem will b solved. Im just so pissed off. The customer service is very very bad. They act as if no one can do anything to them. They didn't take my complain seriously.

                                      I already have another complaint number which was created long back with number "93591892" and another complaint recently created once again.

                                      Neither of them addressed till now nor i did receive any call. I donot want to waste my time in making calls and sending mails unnecessarily. I paid the amount

                                      I paid the amount on 10th feb as i was promised as the installation will be done in 72 hours and even after a month the same response is getting from the airtel service specialist.

                                        Today morning, got 2 sms that i have been charged for whatsmob service though i didn't activate any service by myself or through any third party app, how they can deduct balance without my consent or confirmation? Airtel just sucks, now you people will do this after adhaar card number subsidy scam? What do you people want? I would like to get my balance revwrted asap.
