3rd january 2018 i have done porting of my mobile number from post paid vodaphone to airtel pre paid. I have taken a plan of rs. 449/- for 84 days. I have been paid my vodaphone bill of that month and paid rs. 449/- for the new airtel plan. As per this i was not supposed to get any bill as my number is pre-paid. Also my plan is for 84 days and as per my understanding after 84 days usage only i need to recharge my mobile.

Now i have received a bill for an amount of rs. 370/-. I didnt understand why i have received this bill and why i need to pay this amount just before finishing one month
Till now i haven't received any response on this... Instead again you have discontinued my phone services... This is not at all acceptable.. Because of your staff's mistake i am struggling like this. Instead of accepting your mistake and resolving the issue you are trying to put back the blame on me and asking me to pay for your mistake... How ridiculous it is! Is it the right way to treat your customers?.. The biggest ever mistake i did is the porting of my vodaphone number to airtel.

Despite speaking to many of your executives and writing many mails to your office this issue has not been resolved till now... What a poor customer service!

My mobile services has been discontinued now.

I want you to waive off my false bill amount and activate my services

      On 26th feb got a message stating my balance was deducted. When i checked *121*51# 57.83 rs balance was deducted on 26th feb at 12:06 am. But i was sure i had not used the data at that time hence i called customer care. They told me 57.83 rs was deducted on 25th feb at 10.15 pm.
      Need to understand why there is a information discrepency between the two sources?
      I am sure i had not crossed my 1 gb data limit by 25th feb 10.15 pm. But yet my balance is deducted. Also there was no sms sent to me to inform about balance deduction. But customer are executive was adamant that i had crossed my 1 gb data limit. Then i asked customer care executive about the time i crossed the 1 gb data limit. So they said they dont have that information. I want to know who has that information. I was cheated and need to understand how and when my data got deducted.
      I called for rasing the complaint and i was told complaint can not be taken for this.

                Just because garbage is a polite term i decided to roll with it. After the jio-like offer for 399/- the speed is pretty much down in the gutter. 1gb per day is a joke, it's so slow you'll be lucky to consume even 100-200mb per day. No wonder people are porting to jio. The speed i get from it is inherently better and way more stable.
                Anyone reading this, please stay away from airtel. Don't waste away your 399/-. It's truly, utterly garbage.

                P. S: customer care was of no use before pointing it out. No proper answers or suggestions were given, besides "sir aapke area me net acha show kar raha hai, net pack dalwa lo". My a* acha net.

                    Not receiving otp from any service provider like bank, email, others. Also not receiving voice calls at times.

                    Airtel supervisor priya bansode, maharashtra provided airtel complaint ticket number [protected].

                    No response after that.

                    Have raised port out request and very next second i got a call from [protected] and they have promised to resolve otp complaint within 48 to 72 hours.

                    I hope it is resolved sooner as otp are must.

                      Hi,

                      Airtel is one of the most worst and fraud network service in india. The reason why i am telling this is that of worst data speeed, but false advertisement that they are the fastest, smartphone friendly and even claim to download gb data in minutes in ad.

                      I have pre paid for 2.5gb/day offer. Even though i have full range in 4g network speed is very slow! I phoned customercare service and each time they said that issue is temporary and they will fix in hours. I am tired of calling them.

                      Please refer to attachment of 4g speed, at full range! Even slower that 3g or same speed as 2g. Not able to use 2.5gb witb this speed. Very bad service and fraud. If its coverage issue i can understand range is at full bar and even customercare said good data netwtok is there.

                      Very bad service and nothing like what the advertise. False advertising and fraud, cheating customers.

                            I am using my airtel number [protected] only for voice calls on international roaming in syria from last two days. The total usage must not exceed 40 to 45 minutes of outgoing or incoming calls. However, i have been charged with rs 21000 in last two days. Please check your records. It is not possible for such huge amount. No services should stop on my number. I'll be using the same number for another 10 months in syria. I cant pay such huge amount without any valid usage of number. Please check the same at your end and reduce the billing amount.
                            Thank you

                              I deposited money to airtel bank to recharge my airtel number [protected], they let me credit the amount but are not letting me debit, it keeps saying 'debit not allowed' what the hell is this? If debit is not allowed the why did they let me credit in the first place? Now my money is stuck and airtel won't reply. Jio has kicked their butt so now they have decided to scam consumers to make money it seems.

                                Hi, my airtel app shows me new offer of 448 plan. But i am unable to activate that plan with my main balance.
                                I have balance of rs456. I called customer service for help but they told me some recharge can be done by using main balance.
                                But why some recharge can't done. May be that recharge amount company used for black money.
                                Why should i spend money when i have balance in my mobile.

                                  They approached me for porting out from vodafone to airtel. They initially said that wynk music subscription is free, but after porting out we found that the same is chargeable. We approached the customer care for this, but they inspite of responding to our complaint said that it is only an offer & we should approach wynk directly in order to check d matter & not airtel. Regret choosing airtel

                                    This is with reference to the incompletion of installation of a new airtel dth connection regarding customer id [protected]. A payment of ₹1777 was made through a debit card on 21 february 2018 at around 10:30 p. M. I have been getting calls from airtel everyday since then that an engineer will call me and fix a time for the services to be made, but no call from any engineer or technician has been received yet. They even said that i don't need to call again, and that i will definitely recieve the call from the engineer. Really didn't know that a company such as this needs to be complaint for. Not only that, i myself have made contact with them over 3 times, but no result. I hope the matter gets resolved as soon as possible because the tv is no more than a box to us right now. Who can imagine not having a tv these days.

                                      This has reference to my airtel mobile no - [protected], i like to inform you that i am housewife and taken prepaid connection from airtel since long and as an when it require for recharging i am doing that.
                                      On 24th jan'18, i have recharged for rs.100/-. But i am surprised to note that inspite of having my balance when i wanted to make a urgent call, it is showing no balance and again i have recharged for rs.24/- (On 24.02.2018) at 6.47pm and given a miscall only (At around 7pm) to my daughter's m. No-[protected]. After that have seen balance is showing only rs.7/-.

                                      Now it is very clear to me that airtel company just misusing the customers amount which are lying.

                                      So i will be highly oblige if you kindly do the necessery action asap.

                                      Thanks & regards,
