Airtel gave me shock. I was wondering how the gamepind service got activated without my permission. I am the only who uses my mobile and i tried to contact customer care, but no use. No one is helping me how to resolve this issue. Service has been activated twice today and i got deducted from my prepaid account of 60 rupees. Kindly resolve and credit the amount to my account immediately. How can airtel do like this? Please give back my money.

        My name is vani shukla studying in govt. Medical college kannauj, tirwa, kannuaj 209732, uttar pradesh. We all have been using airtel sim cards for years. Recently, there is an airtel bts tower installed in our college campus itself but we are getting negligible network for last 3 days. We all have recharged for internet and calling plans and they have certain validity period. Now, since we are not getting connectivity, our money is being wasted. My husband lives in germany and i have no option to stay connected with him. Airtel customer care executives are shamelessly ignoring us. One of them is sandip vanshik. He is such a rascal who tells me that only your phone has some problem. Everybody is suffering from this problem in our college. Fo me the situation is the worst since i am not able to talk to my husband. Customer care executives keep putting us on hold. I want the solution as fast as possible. These companies should know that customers have become aware.

        They are rhino-skinned people. They are sending me stupid replies. Please somebody do something. It's been 6 days I have not contacted my husband. Does consumer court REALLY WORK in India? Customers are just treated like ### in India. Nobody can do anything. Everybody is corrupted and cheater in this country.

              Only 2g works better and rest 3g and 4g data connectivity of airtel at bypass road, padarpally area in nellore is almost nil and irritating one. From evening 5pm to midnight it's just rubbish. Waste of money. Even web page of cricket doesn't open properly, it hangs. And data connectivity shift from 4g to h and h+and then sometimes to e only. Made email complain but nothing sorted out yet. Problem facing since last 4months. Even call drop is highest.. Bsnl mobile numbers never connect at evening time.

                          I have taken Rs. 149/- for receiving ISD called on 21.01.2018 from your Himayatnagar customer care centre. The person specifically told me all receiving calls are free and I should not use data at Foreign Centre. I can use free wifi there. Accordingly I have not used data and used only for internal calls. Because of that I have not taken local SIM at Dubai which costs only 1200/-. Now I received a bill for Rs. 4407/- which is not correct.Roaming Charges of Rs. Rs.649/- per day charged from 23.1.18 to 28.01.2018 which is not warranted. Please reverse these chaarges immly.

                            I am using airtel preapid and there representatives called me and offered postpaid offers and requested me to opt for it. I accepted and they gave confirmation that network cannot be affected and sim will be activated within 72 hrs. They gave sim and i submitted all the required details and after 7 days there representatives called me and said that sim got error and said new activated sim will be delivered to u. I accepted and with severely disturbing my work i coordinated with him and met him. He again took the same deatils that i submitted previously and said no need for new sim same sim will be activated in 48 hrs and i paid 100/- as fee. I argued but still accepted. Now total it is 20th day and still my sim not yet activated. My prepaid plan expired 3 days back and i cannot renew it. Daily i m using day plan with everyday recharge. None of the representatives are responding to my calls. No one is taking responsibility.

                                  On the end of sept.2017 or start of oct.2017 received a offer call from [protected] (Speaking from airtel) that if i port the sim no. [protected] (Vodafone) to airtel, any defective or damaged mobile of mine will be replaced within next 7 to 10 days, after porting.
                                  I agreed and porting was done but after waiting and sending sms, calling the person who offered, later on sending request mails to airtel nodal team till date i did not receive the replacement mobile set, as was committed before porting.
                                  Meanwhile i have paid a bill also.
                                  Instead of replacing the mobile set airtel is generating the high value bills and calling regularly to pay it immediately or it will be escalated legally.

                                  Request for support.

                                    Hi,

                                    I am msr goutham ([protected]) and i have newly moved into airtel 7-8 months back.
                                    I am a postpaid customer at the start but on 7th feb 2017 i wanted to change my number to prepaid. So i went to the airtel store (Tirumalgry) and went through the process and completed the process to move into prepaid.
                                    The person said that it would take 4 days for conversion but i don't know what had happened they were unable to do the conversion properly.
                                    They were saying that it was converted and i am unable to do my frc recharge.
                                    Only after frc recharge i could make any calls or messages.

                                    Store people are trying but they are unable to resolve my issue, i don't know why?
                                    They said that they had raised some case on this but still issue is not resolved.
                                    I am not able to make any outgoing calls, messages, internet as i couldn't do recharge for the mobile.

                                    So i am reaching you hoping that at least now my issue would resolve.

                                    Please put some person on this and resolve my issue asap.
