My Airtel bank account statement shows debit of Rs. 123/- against the bill payment of my airtel number [protected]. But after 24 hours yet the bill for that number is pending. Complaint done for same in airtel customer care as well as in airtel bank customer care. But no reply yet after 24 hours of complaint.

      Dear sir/madam,
      I want you to please cancel my airtel datacard - [protected].

      I have been to the airtel shop last month at rajajinagar (https://www.google.co.in/maps/place/Airtel+Express/@13.0036169, 77.5493412, 18.75z/data=! 4m8! 1m2! 2m1! 1sairtel+rajajinagar! 3m4! 1s0x0:0xcd27a7effbd891af! 8m2! 3d13.0037391! 4d77.550096) to get my card cancelled.

      I have still got the bill for the past 2 months and no call back from the store so far. I believe that this is soon going to elicit a need for an escalated complaint.

      Please cancel my bill. I have not used the dongle for 2 months. Please understand.

        Hello,

        My self harminder singh and i want to put forward complaint regarding my mobile

        [protected] and sim number is[protected]u

        I am the owner of this number and using this number continuously and even i had recharged my number with top up of inr 20 on 3rd of january 2018 (Proof of the same attached below) but suddenly my network is lost and my contacts who are calling me were start getting that incoming on this number is barred and when i consulted the same issue by calling the customer care from my another airtel number then they are saying that my number is deactivated because i haven't used it so, i don't know is this a non-sense? Because i have proof that i was using this number and even the number was registered on my id then how your company can deactivate my number without any notification or without any reason? Is this a joke for airtel? I am currently running my business on that number and i have registered with that number on lot of places, my complete customer base is on that number and i want that number activated as soon as possible otherwise i'll file a case against this nonsense activity of your company and will stop using all other numbers of your company registered on my id or my family member' ids.

        Hope you'll give me a right solution for the same.

        I have been using Airtel from long time, from past 3 months I am getting wrongly charged, I went to Airtel office for the port but they are not making it port, I need the port immediately, and request you to look into the bill which you have charged me.

              1. I have been harassed when before i could raise the request for changing from postpaid to prepaid. After going 4 times (Everyday giving different reasons not to raise the porting request), the request got raised.
              2. I had paid an additional money as bill apart from my current bill for the period which it would take for porting.
              3. After that repeated calls and follow ups were made to the customer care. Everytime they said it was in process and generated bill for the next 3 cycles!
              4. Bill was generated because of their negligence, why should i pay?

              Now they are giving me follow up calls everyday for bill payment and not addressing the real issue which is migration from postpaid to prepaid. They offered to give me a waive off of 200 rs on my bill which was not the issue atall!
              I need to get out of there postpaid service.

                I tried to recharge but it dint but money got cut. I had 361 than 38 i transfer from bank account but all money cut. Earlier it was showing total balance 361, suddenly after completing all that without getting recharge, simply all money deducted and now it is showing rs 0 rupees. It's pathetic that all money cut at a time without successful recharge. Please resolve this issue. Thank you

                  Address: Pune, Maharashtra

                  I have recently changed my circle from chennai to pune.

                  And paid amount 491 for the last bill generated (Transaction id :[protected]
                  The bill generated was 780 but it was waived off and the amount i paid was 491 as i was charged for data where as i had data balance.

                  This month (10 dec to 10 jan) the bill generated is 707 rupees where as my post paid plan rental is 399. I want to know why i am being charged this much amount??

                  I have been reaching out to customer care from last week who is unable to provide me any solution and is bluntly providing me a time line of 24 hrs and 72 hrs even after which the issue is not resolved.

                  As spoken to one of their representative saritha parimar.

                          My airtel sim stopped working on 16/01/2018. I restarted my phone, removed the sim and put it back again to no avail. When i called the customer service they told me to replace my sim as nothing can be done. I am currently residing in a different cellular circle and it is not possible for me to replace my sim. I would like for my network to be returned without having to replace the sim.

                                I am unable to do outgoing call and not receiving calls from last night onwards. I have only airtel sim, contacted airtel customer service to fix the problem.
                                Response from rep: your sim is damaged and take duplicate sim,
                                My sim is not damaged i am damn sure 3 of my collegues who are using airtel also facing same problem.
                                They send me message issue resolved with ref no: rsewk[protected]. (But my issue was not resolved)
                                Tried again to contact them
                                Response from rep: dial #21# or #002# (For deactivating call divert) - told 100% will fix,
                                Tried again to contact them,
                                This time they were telling again some prank.

                                Conclusion: airtel is consuming money from customers and not providing services.
