I purchase wifi hotspot device on 23rd feb paying 1000 rupees, from the day1; i couldn't find signal for the device in my area. The
Registered wifi number is [protected].

After raising service request emails and thru calls, they say this issue will be fixed by may 30th. I am completely depended on internet as i work from home mostly, when i ask for the refund of money so i can purchase some other service or i am asking for transfer the money of that hotspot to airtel modem. For both the request there is not proper response. When they are selling it, all the response are immediate then why don't they respond for the problems as well with the same sincerity.

Very worst experience! I want the solution immediately.

      Following crisis in aircel, i am trying to switch from aircel prepaid to airtel prepaid. I have got the port code from aircel.

      Airtel showroom is refusing my prepaid request and asking me to take a postpaid connection. They say that prepaid connections are technically not feasible now.

      I request the concerned authorities to handle the situation.

Services still haven’t got activated, called customer care from other number but they are not helping either. No response to the mail either. I am roaming in rajasthan currently and stuck with such bad service.

          I have been converted my airtel post paid number to airtel prepaid number since last two month ago. Till then i could not able to recharge my prepaid number through online. I have called multiple times during last two months to customer care to resolve this issue, but no solution from their end.
          Even i tried to port my number to other network, it is also not possible as it required minimum 90 days.

            We have approached your outlet many times for porting number : old (Aircel) [protected] to Airtel. Still they could not resolve my problem. They are telling it takes only 7 days it takes to port. But the same has taken more than 15 days still I could not get the connectivity for pre-paid.
            This is the way the outlets are functioning. Now I am unable to view all my callers. This is nothing but deficiency in your service. Please activate the sim for which I have already paid Rs. 270/- which is nothing but looting the customers.

            Please activate immediately else I may resort to complaining to TRAI. Hope you will not give scope for such unpleasantness and resolve the problem immediately.

            Thanking you,

              Hi
              Before going out of India, i had opted for International roaming by paying INR 1199 + 149 (for activation) and is valid for 10 days, Internet 3Gb data and voice call 250 min free etc.
              activated the connection on 28/1/2018 and returned on 5/2018, it was a 9 days trip to Australia. on the day of my arrival to india i get a message from AIRTEl that i have exceed the amount is 6925. Appx.and it was shocked.
              later recevied the bill and check that i have used 5.5 GB (in Bill) and customer care person says that i have used 3, 5 GB.
              My concern is whole month (30 days) local i donot use more than 5 GB of data, but when i visited International Roaming in just 9 days i used 3.5GB ? how is this happen? it is really shocked and feeling bad that such a reputed company can do like this to me.
              I raised complaint to airtel customer care, but they say i need to pay this amount, but they are not ready to understand my problem and provide solution.
              Then i decided it this 2nd time it is happening, let port to other service provider

              DT 28/2/2018: TOI Published
              Sub: Airtel asked to pay customer for inflated bills, shoddy service today times of india.

              after knowing Airtel is Inflating bills, why should i pay bill to a money making cheat company, it is our hard earn money.
              can any one help me on this? to get my problem resolved?

                    I have tried all the possible ways to change my mpin. As i have forgoten it.

                    Also tried with both the solutions provided in the help section of the airtel money app and found they didn't work out.

                    When i make a call to 400 they ask to enter mpin at the beginning which i have already forgotten hence unable to connect with the customer care.

                    Please help me resolve this issue asap

                      Hi, my office in in mount tower, mount poonamalle road, ramapuram signal, chennai. I could see there is a tower nearby, but for some reason me and my colleagues have been getting this issue of intermittent connectivity for calls and 4g data. I get messages of missed calls.. But can't get any calls when i'm in office in 3rd floor, mount tower. Many of my colleagues are facing this issue and most of thinking of switching to vodafone through number portability. Please try to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

                          Case 1
                          Today on 28-feb-18, i tried to recharge my mobile no [protected] with recharge of rs 399 for which balance was deducted twice. But when i asked airtel customer care to refund my additional rs 399 back to my credit card i got a response "your validity is 140 days and money will not be refunded". I don't need a validity of 140 days i want my money refunded back to my sbi card.
                          Case 2
                          Similar incident happened with me while paying bill of rs 589 for airtel dongle [protected]. Money is deducted but bill is not paid.
                          This has happened with me for fourth time. I think and feel that this a planned loot and dacoity by airtel team. To increase their revenues they are cheating common public. This is what thieves do.
                          I want both my rs 399 refunded as well as rs 589 refunded as early as possible, without which this resolution cannot be completed

                            Hi team,

                            This is regarding my postpaid number 9030xxx323. As per the mail which sent by airtel team. Rental discount of 50rs activated to my account on 13th oct 2017 for 6 months. I have the email confirmation on the same. Today i checked my bills and i came to know that they didn't implement that.

                            This is completely cheating customer. They are telling some thing and they are implementing some other thing.

                            I am not digesting this cheating,

                            Please look into the issuer and do the needful.

                              I get at least 2 calls a day asking if i wish to port my number to airtel. I blocked the number from which they were calling and they are calling from the different number and disturbing me during meetings and office hours. Though requesting many times to remove my number from their list as mine is an official number and i dont have the privileged to port it to other network. They say ok but call again the next day. This is really distubing and disguisting to see that a company like airtel does not update their database and call the same customer everyday to irritate them. I would submit a legal complain on it if the problem is not addressed. I could be contacted on the email id mentioned below in case of any query.

                                  I recharged my number [protected] on 28 feb 2.52 am. According to offers i should get 28 gb data i. E. 1 gb per day and unlimited calls for 28 days. But i don't get benefits. Upon calling airtel customer care they are saying that you recharged throught amazon so you will not get benefits. Surely it is the wrost company and no 1 cheater telecom operator. I am going to port and never recharge again airtel. Bye bye airtel. I wish you should vanished from indian market and jio should become no 1.
