It's very disappointing when airtel promotes its wallet by "use instantly". I created an airtel wallet for irctc ticket booking. I credited wallet by 800 rupees but when i tried to buy the ticket, i got a message "debit is not allowed" neither the customer care reply to email ids.in our country getting tickets is not so easy. I feel helpless inspite of having money in wallet, i am not able to use it. My number is [protected]

    I've ported my no.[protected] from aircel to airtel and i have also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. Every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number, along with this there's poor network signals in our locality. I couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service.

        airtel 4g sim stopped working suddenly

        Suddenly on 3rd feb, 2018, the airtel sim on my phone stopped working. Initially thought it might be a phone problem. Restarted phone several times, changed sim slot, tried it in another phone, tried stopping other services like wifi. All of no use.
        All this without any intimation from airtel. I was about to receive important calls and messages on this number. Lost peace of mind due to this carelesness.

        I would like...

          Fwd: confirmation of no charges of internal calling with add on number.
          Dear sir/madam,

          With reference to the above mail, i received the call from airtel today morning. After long discussion with the your executive, she is agreed that internal calling between primary and add on number is free. But i don't agree with her that it is free internal calling but if you exceed calling limit i. E.720 calls per month, you will be charged.

          How it is possible, if internal calling is free, you can not include the internal calls in monthly 720 calls.

          And i checked my previous bills, you have charged me for my add on to primary no. And same time you are charging rs. 99/- rental for add on number.

          With disappointment, i request you to reimburse charges which you charged me for internal calling and want to discontinue with you.

          Kindly, deactivate my airtel postpaid billing and whatever plan is there. I would like to go to continue with some other mobile services.

          If you don't reimburse charges, i will be forced to go to consumer complaint.

          Dear sir/madam,

          My postpaid airtel no is [protected] and add on no. Is [protected].

          My bill plan is rs. 399 and rs. 99 rental for add on number.

          At the time of bill plan, i was told that your internal calling will be free lifetime if you pay rental of rs. 99/- per month for add on no. [protected].

          But this month, i checked my bill and it is found that you have charged rs. 76.50 for 153 units for add on no. ([protected]) to my no. ([protected]).

          Just i called to customer care 121, i told that if you pay rs. 199/- once, your internal calling will be free for a one year.

          So i told him to activate the same and hereby i request you to give the confirmation about this whatever i told that internal calling ([protected] and [protected]) will be free for one year of rs. 199/- once and rs. 99/- rental monthly will be deactivated.

          Kindly confirm the same.

          Thanks & regards,

          Dear Manda Kadam,

          Greetings from Airtel!

          This is in reference to your email seeking information on the port out procedure.

          I am disappointed to know that you have considered moving out of Airtel network.

          As discussed, National Mobile Number Portability (NMNP) allows you to retain your mobile number in any part of the country even when you change your state or operator.

          Port out steps are stated below for your reference.

          1. Generate Unique Porting code (UPC) by sending an SMS PORT<Mobile no>to 1900.

          E.g: PORT 9810XXXXXX to 1900.

          You will receive an auto message from 1901 giving you an 8 digit alpha numeric unique porting code. UPC is valid for 15 days from the date of generation.

          2. Once UPC is obtained, you will have to approach the service provider of visiting circle to whom you want to port in to and fill the application form with relevant documents.

          3. Port Out will be completed within 7 working days. During this period, you will not be able to use the services for 4 hours in the night (from 10 PM to 5 AM) and the same will be communicated to you via SMS.

          Request you to note,

          1. The connection should be more than 90 days old with the existing operator.

          2. There should no outstanding amount payable. Please dial *121# to know your outstanding amount payable.

          3. There should be no pending cases/complaints/case in court with regards to your number.

          4. The number should not be under contractual obligation with existing operator e.g. company owned company paid accounts.

          5. For a number consolidated under myPlan Family, you will have to first deconsolidate the number. Post deconsolidation, the benefits of myPlan Family will not be applicable.

          6. There should not be any ownership transfer request in process for the said number.

          Thanks for reaching out to us.

          Best Regards,
          Harithasatya Gidugu
          Service specialist

          Thank you for your reply.

          I am also disappointed with you from changing your words or sentences constantly.

          As discussed on telephone ([protected]), give me confirmation in writing waiver of my last bill Rs.811.94.

          I think this is the less waiver amount that what you have unnecessarily charged me from my add on number to primary number.

          I will be happy to be discontinue with false committed mobile services to move forward to best mobile services.

          Dear Airtel Team,

          Just spoke to your Executive on[protected], she has agreed to waive my last bill Rs, 811.094 and offered me a new plan Rs. 299/- including 1020 including local and STD calls plus 20 GB mobile data free and free unlimited family calls between my primary no ([protected]) and add on no.[protected] and agreed to same to confirm me on mail.

          Same I have got waiver of Rs. 811.94 by SMS and monthly plan but I have not received any CONFIRMATION MAIL about the same.

          Again, I would like to know what are the charges from 26th Jan 2018 to 5th Feb 2018, the period of the conversation regarding dispute.

          I just called to 121, one of your executive told me that instead of Rs. 399/- rental of 30 days, you will be charged only Rs. 133/- for these 10 days.

          Kindly give me confirmation for my new bill plan, waiver of last bill and charges for these 10 days of disputed conversation.

          Awaiting your prompt reply.

              My airtel prepaid number seems to be inactivated today. I have been using this number for more than 5 years. Please reactivate it. I will be back to india next month from usa. Your help on this would be much appreciated.

              I am using this number for all my banking transactions and provided to other services as well.

              You have all my documents with you. Please don't ask me to come to your store to activate the number again as i am a non resident indian.

                Recently i i've switched from jio to airtel expecting better data services, but it didn't happen, even though i use in 4g coverage area, when i use youtube, play store and some streaming apps data services are good and have a speed of 3 to 10 mbps.
                But while playing online games like war robots, some app, and browsers doesn't get 3g/4g networks it just settle in 2g speeds of 100kbps or low and some times it strick's at 0kbps, usually ian a mobile gamer, i play a lot of online games and i've lost many battles and races by this kind of networks, i'm frustrated about this, and now i realize and feel guilty for switching from jio to airtel, jio has very much better network than airtel with low prices.

                I hope this issue will be resolved, or else i will have to switch back to jio.

                    The network is worst, with its coverage. The complaint given regarding same in 2016 still not resolved. Everytime to use the data need to be out in open space or road from inside the office premises as neither my customer nor anybody can hear anything, and frequently call drops. Stop fooling customers. Need compensation for the loss due to it. The audacity of the company employees is too much where they even can't escalate the same issue directly to the network team. There is not resolution for the error. To use there service we need to be always out on road, if by chance you are at home or in side office your mobile is equivalent to a trash. I ask for stern action against this company and a compensation of my loss of ₹20lakhs as revenue. Who would provide me this loss.

                        Dear Vignesh,

                        This is a forum where you place complaints if you got cheated by any company or if you are a victim of fraud by something online.

                        Well anyways, Airtel has their norms and providing connection is under conditions and availability of resources.
                        Now if you are looking for solution then the only thing that you should do is to checkout other fiber-net services in your area.

                          Now they are not taking calls and not responding my calls regarding my number activation.
                          I had walked in to their office in chandra layout branch for 3 times still they have not serious enough to activate.

                          If we delay in paying the amount in 1 day, they charge 100rs fine.
                          What should i do. Because of this i have faced lot of problems.
                          Because i have given this number to bank and they keep sending sms/otp which i have missed and i have pay lot of fine and penalty for my business.
                          I need justice in this regard
                          Please help me in this regard.

                            Hi,
                            I have my iphone 6s, i have taken airtel secure service for device protection.

                            I was damaged before and claim was approved by airtel. And airtel replace my handset from apple.

                            Now again on last saturday the device again damaged and screen was cracked and panel was banned.

                            Now i have raised the claim with service request # 2812552

                            Mr krisna rejected my mail the i again write a mail to applet team and with telephonic conversation with applet team,
                            Applet initiated the claim, again krisna from airtel secure has rejected. Who the he'll is krisna. As i already told you, this device is replaced by airtel, no body intimate me for update the device, so how customer knows about this.

                            All the responsibility is from airtel. If the device is not registered then what kind of payment 79 rs you are taking from me. I have all the records. And i don't need any foolness from you.

                            Regards

                                Team,

                                I had migrated from postpaid to prepaid, at the time I was cleared all my outstanding bill amount on 10th of January 2018, afterward it's showing the bill amount is Rs -47.

                                My connection got changed and after few days again the same bill amount (Rs 226) got deducted from HDFC credit card on[protected]. I am herewith attaching the report of all the transactions for your reference.Hence I want to refund my money as soon as possible

                                I called to the customer care service many times for my queries, the guy responding to me really disappointed with his rude behavior. The customer care service is just Pathetic every week they have some stupid answers.I have always felt the worst experience of Airtel services, No proper customer support

                                  I have been calling Airtel customer care and asking them to remove international roaming pack (which i activated in the month of November). After calling thrice each month the plan is still active and the amount is wrongly added in my bill.
                                  Customer care person is repeating just one line (sorry for the inconvenience) and couldn't even understand my issue. After asking to speak to their manager, i was put on hold for 15-20 minutes on & off...
                                  still the bill has not been corrected. In between she is talking to me in some alien language, which i told her i couldn't understand. (this happened after selecting language as English)

                                  So, this time i have calculate and pay for only what i am liable to.
                                  Rest, i want airtel people to waive off. ASAP.

                                  I WILL NOT PAY A SINGLE HARD EARNED MONEY TO THIS FRAUD COMPANY.

                                  P.S. Worst customer care service.

                                    My airtel payments bank is freezed and i cannot debit my 333 rs from my account. I have done only one payment from my account. The next time i added rs 250 and when i tried to pay my phone bill using my wallet, it is not letting me do that. I even cannot transfer that money to my bank account. I warn airtel to unblock my account asap. I have already complained airtel about this. My case number is 146639. And if i don not get my money back, i will sue airtel in the consumer court.
