    Airtel executive say one plan on phone, and airtel backed team activate some other plan which is totally different what was confirmed before booking the new connection

    Team it's 4 day's now my reported issue not fixed, you said with in 24 my problem will be fixed now it's more then 48 hours.

    Kindly correct the issue asap...

              Dear Sir / Madam,

              I'm using a plan of Airtel broadband of Rs.1249/- plan. Inspite of paying the bills before due date regularly, Airtel is charging me with late payment charges ie. a bill amount of Rs. 1591/- which is irrelavant. Every time i'll get a call form these people saying your amount is due and everytime the amount will be more than Rs.3000/-. This month they called me and saying my total amount due is Rs. 3718/-, I dont know what is happening about the payments done. They are not keeping a proper track of the payments done by me. Some time when the bill was payed in Bangalore one and the amount was not at all updated in my account for months togeather and after months they will ask for the receipt. These people are cheating and harrasing me to pay above normal charges each and every time and that too double the thing what I have opted for.

              Please see the attachement for your reference. Kindly do the needful.

                This is to request for refund of excess amount paid to my bank account.

                Airtel number: [protected]
                Airtel id: [protected]

                Amount to be refunded: 1042/-

                Hdfc bank account: ritu jain
                Account number: [protected]

                Pfa. A cancelled cheque for the same.

                Please revert with intimation on refund status.

                Besides the above, would like to complain about this whole mess. Please check the last three bills issued on 9th dec.2017, 9th jan 2018 and 9th feb 2018.

                In both bills of dec and jan, extra internet charges were charged indiscriminately and even on complaining, no reviused bill was issued or any clarification given. Only a given amount is said to be waived off without any clarification. Please note that extra taxes charged also need to be reimburdsed.

                I need clarified and revised bills for bills dated 9th december 2017 and 9th jan 2018

                Even in bill dated 9th feb 2018, extra internet charges of rs 500 have been charged when i joined my family plan on 10th january 2018. I am told that rs 500 will be adjusted in the parent bill of my akshay jain-[protected].

                I am not satisfied with the accounting here and need revised bills of the given months.

                How easily you can dupe your customers of 500/-every month.. Many customers simply pay postpaid bills without checking bills in good faith. Everytime i complained, i was told that i will get a call back and a revised bill would be sent. Recieve no calls and no revised bills and top of that, the same mistake is repeated again and again.

                A copy of this letter is being posted as a blog too.

                Need a redressal of this harrasment immediately.
                Otherwise too-sordid airtel service-no call is completed without making 3 to 4 calls. Call goes silent, very poor data connection. Have complained a number on times for the same too but no solution to the above.

                  On 2nd february, i tried to load an amount of rs.5050/- in my airtel payments bank account from my debit card (Transaction id[protected]. Though the amount was debited from my bank account, the same was yet to be credited to the payment bank account. I have also filed a complaint with airtel payments bank (Case:1515012) on the same day. They had assured that the money will be loaded into the account within 5 days however no action was taken yet to rectify the mistake. I had loaded the above amount to make an urgent transaction. Now i have no money left, as the amount was neither loaded into the airtel payments bank account nor returned to me. I have been put to severe hardship. Kindly intervene
                  i have credited rs 1229 rs for my gas bill payment on 7sept and still it has not been updated and have crossed the due date. please do revert back.

                        When I want to change my number [protected] from airtel to another network due to poor performance of Airtel, I got an Upc code and it is fake invalid, given by airtel to stick customers

                        Why Airtel Customer Care is not responding ?

                        Airtel providing poor service to customers, please improve it

                        Please Co-operate for customers
                        Without information deactivated my sim I have more contacts in this no and bank link with this
                        I want to migrate from postpaid to prepaid, when I went to store, always they are telling to come next day.

                            Later in january i received bill and the amount was not adjusted & jan bill also deducted

                            No proper response from airtel, when i call they say reversal is done but nothing of that sort has happened & i even sent them my credit card statement which clearly had no reversals

I made the payment on 08/feb/2018, but till today i have not received the connection to my house.
                              Airtel is making false promises to there customers, saying with 48hrs to give the connection and take advance payment to block the customer, so that he cannot go to any other vendor.

                              Request you please take some action against airtel india.

                                  "transaction could not be processed due to debit freeze on account"

                                  The app is also not allowing payment of the bill from airtel wallet due to freeze on account...

                                    I would like to highlight that i am facing a big time harassment from airtel regarding the wild & erratic bill generated for the month ending 22nd december 2017. The invoice raised was rs. 48, 244.78, which includes the international data roaming of more than rs.40, 000 for 1.5 days for my trip to maldives. Following are the points which would validate my position:

                                    1) firstly, i never asked any airtel executives to activate any international roaming facility on my phone number, so how was it activated? On discussions with the airtel executives, they have different and lame answers. Firstly, they say that your number had a provision for that and you initiated the same while you were on international roaming in july 2017. I would like to highlight here, i never requested for anything as such and i have never been on any international trip since last 3 years.

                                    2) secondly, they say that as soon as you dialed a number from maldives to india, we activated the international roaming facility. Here, i would like to highlight that couple of times before going to maldives, i tried calling from india to maldives but those calls never went through, as they say that international facility is not available on your phone. So, how could my call go through when i was in maldives, isn't it fishy? To this, i also have to say that my wife also uses airtel and when she tried making a call from maldives to india, she could not and her data was also not working. So how come, there are different treatments for the same network users.

                                    3) thirdly, when my credit limit is 3600, then why my services were not stopped? Airtel executives brought it in a caveat here saying that while you are on international trip, this credit limit is not in force, i mean how would a customer know about these hidden exceptions.

                                    4) fourthly, even if the ir facility got activated somehow, which i still consider it as a highly unlikely event, isn't it a duty of the vendor company to inform or warn its customers about it? The airtel executives are clearly lying here, saying that we have sent you warning messages. I have several messages in my inbox, but i would like to honestly point out here that i did not receive any message from airtel as soon as my ir data started working.

                                    5) fifthly, if somehow my mobile data was working, it would have got used for a couple of hours en route airport to hotel. Once i was in hotel premises, i was completely on hotel's wi-fi and not on mobile data. Then how can this be possible? On this, the airtel customer care says that your wi-fi must be weak so automatically, the mobile data would have got used. Is this a way to explain the bill, seriously.

                                    6) i only came to know that airtel is charging me for mobile internet, when i got the first message from airtel on 2nd dec regarding internet usage of rs 787. At that time, i believed that that it may have been an error as it is not possible since i was using the wi-fi, anyway to avoid any further problems, i turned off my mobile data. Then the next day, at 6.20 am, i received another message from airtel, that you have used data worth rs 5, 129 and as a precaution we will disable your service. I was shocked to see a bill of 5, 129 since i could not believe how airtel is charging me when i am on wi-fi and my mobile data being switched off. At 10:48 am, i again received a message from airtel that your international data roaming services charge is 5, 129 and your internet service will be blocked temporarily. At 11:50 am, i received another message from airtel that your services have been barred. I was somewhat relaxed that there be a end to it to this undue and invalid charges. All the screenshots of those messages have been attached. But to wildest surprise, when my bill was generated i was asked to pay close to rs. 50, 000. My question is once my data services were barred, how the bill can shot up to close to 50, 000? Airtel executives say that the data may not have been real-time. On the contrary, they say that there is no human intervention involved and everything is software based. Then my question is, if the process is so dynamic then how can the information you send to customers be lagged.

                                    I have read several posts on facebook and twitter related to the same problems witnessed by other customers and they have been harassed in a similar manner. Here, i would like to say, that i cannot accept the wrong charges indicted on me by airtel which is by all means wrong. Also all the above communication suggest that big harassment is being done on me for last 30 days or more.

                                      I'm also receiving call information msg from a$ tfarot.I didn't registraterd my number for this.please solve this problem. Thank you.
                                      Even I'm receiving such msgs. I don't know why so. Even though I didn't make any calls early Morning.
                                      I think VoLTE customers are getting such messages.
                                      In any case, they are annoying.
