My airtel cell no [protected]. I just saw my bill which am paying on line.
To my surprise you have added rs 244/- as value added services.
I never opted for that and i never used it.
Am enclosing the screen shot.
The way you cheat me is highly regrettable.
Am now 65 and are you not ashamed to cheat me like this?
On that day i talked with your customer care executive (If my memory
Is good his name is mr ravikumar) and instructed him not to charge any
Amount like that - as i never opted it or used it.
He gave me assurance you won’t do.

I hereby give you notice and warn you to remove that amount and send
The revised bill -
Failing wich i will approach consumer court for redressal with proof
Of my claim.
I have recorded his phone assurance and will use it as my supporting evidence.
I am your oldest and loyal customer and has three airtel sims.
I never expect this type of cheating from a reputed company like yours.
Already you earned govt action for misusing aadhar details.
If i report this you will have to face the consequences from the govt.
I give you 4 days time. Today is sunday.
If i don’t get a positive reply from you before friday (19/01/2018) -
I will take up the matter with both consumer court and pmo’s office
And take you to task.
Don’t play with my sentiments.
And don’t think i will keep quite.
Hope you will act quickly and avoid any unpleasant action from my end.
If i dont receive a positive reply i will forward this to pmo ‘ s
Office and a copy to our respected pm for redressal of my genuine
Comment.

      This is to bring to your kind attention that i was travelling abroad for the duration of december 25th 2017 till january 4th 2018. At india gandhi international airport, delhi, i got an international roaming pack activated for 10 days for the amount of 2999 from an airtel customer executive. The travel pack was activated and i was told specifically by the executive the pack would deactivate on its own, post expiration. I returned to delhi on january 4th 2018, the data pack was auto-renewed for a period of another 10 days that is from january 4th-14th 2018, but there was no intimation by email or sms after the auto-renewal. Since i was unaware of the auto-renewal i paid a bill amounting to 3500 on january 10th 2018, for the duration of one month from december 11th 2017 till january 10th 2018. On 14th january, i got a bill from airtel with the international roaming pack amount added again. When i tried to contact the airtel customer service regarding the same additional charges and about no information recarding the re-activation of the pack, i was in communication with mr kamala singh from the airtel punjab circle office who told me i used data on the morning of january 4th 2018, due to which my plan was reactivated. As i had requested my international roaming pack be deactivated after 10 days, i fail to understand why it did not happen. And if i used data on the morning of the 4th of january, it should have been included in the normal bill that i pay for the next billing cycle. I was duped by the executive at the airport, if the pack was on auto-renewal, why was i not informed at the airport by the executive despite specifically asking regarding the same! Also after talking with the executive, i was told that i would have to pay the extra charges for which i was not informed at the airport or in any email. My phone number is a post paid number, so the bill amount was added and now i have to pay charges for a pack i did not ask to be activated. Kindly see to this lackadaisical attitude of your customer service so that these extra charges are waived off and justice is met with.

      The customer care executives mailed a bill with the excess charges of INR 2999 brought down to half.

      I also tried to change the plan details today to deactivate the international roaming pack for 2999 which did not change despite requesting the customer care service for the same. I also tried using the airtel app for the same, but there was a technical error. Now since the 2999 plan is still activated, I might have to pay money despite asking for it to be deactivated. A message was shown on the airtel app, attaching the screenshot here with.

            My balance of rs99 automatically deducted for activation of international roaming rental dtd 14.01.2018, whereas i have not activated it my self. I have my international number and i use airtel only when i am in india. I never pick any in coming calls on airtel when abroad, so i don't need such product. I will stop recharging airtel balance if my balance is not restored back.

              Am venu [protected] one of the airtel post paid customer, without any mode of intimate airtel will stop the service for post paid customer am one of that. And completely pathetic service from customer care, they will promise in next few hours it will get resolved. Finally after doing the payment also customer should beg to activate network/service i[censored] are using only one sim. There is no value for premium customer who will pay the bill in thousands every month. Think twice before opting airtel post paid...

                Sir, I am experiencing poor connectivity and network quality issues in Ahmedabad . While on a call, the other person is not able to hear my voice properly. This happens almost everywhere in Ahmedabad. Secondly, the internet quality of 4g is poor as compared to other carriers like Jio and Vodafone.

                Kindly resolve the issue.

                  Dear team, i, sanjay using airtel number [protected] had given a request to change my number from karnataka circle to kerala circle as i was transferred there. I went to the airtel store in cochin and the representative asked me to send a porting request and gave me a new sim. He told me the previous sim will get deactivated in 7 working days and i will have to continue with the new sim after that. The previous sim got deactivated on 11th jan 18 at 00:02 hrs but the new sim did not get activated. To get this resolved i visited the same store. They had no resolution and he told me he will escalate the issue and get it resolved. However it is still unresolved. I have been visiting airtel stores and calling the customer care everyday, only to be promised new timelines to resolve the issue.
                  I have also emailed to the airtel appellate authority and many concerned repeatedly but i have not received any response from them. I am worried if this number which i am using since 11 years will get deactivated permanently. I feel i am being harassed without any resolution from anyone in airtel.
                  My visit to the airtel store in cochin was so horrific that the supervisor mr anand threatened me to walk out of the store.

                  Please help me in this regard

                  Sanjay

                    I have converted my postpaid number to prepaid but now i am not able to recharge it via airtel app or any other recharge medium. I am able to receive calls and use internet but not able to recharge because of which i can't make any outgoing calls. I tried calling airtel customer care but it says don't have sufficient balance.
                    Even i tried calling from different number but the call gets disconnected as soon as i give my airtel number.
                    Pathetic service from airtel who claims to be india's largest mobile service provider.

                            Airtel network. Once upon a time one of the fastest network in india. But now it is the only slowest 4g network even unable to cal and difficult to hear voice clearly. Complained so many times to customer care executive but no response. This is happening only with unlimited packs, if you use main balance means you will get good signal strength and everything. If they can't give proper service means what is the use o[censored]nlimited packs and #.. Stop fighting with jio and mind your business airtel please. Thank you.

                                4. Why your inefficient team is not able to resolve this issue and no manager from your team is ready to take accountability to fix it?
                                5. Is bharti airtel limited facing any scarcity of fund because of which it was/is not possible to return the money?

                                  I've converted from airtel prepaid to airtel postpaid. I have submitted all required documents on[protected] but till now postpaid sim is not got activated and for verification am trying to call 59059 but not connecting. From last six hours i am not getting signals and every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number. I couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service.

                                        No improvement in performance since many months. Unlimited calls getting dropped after every 5min. It couldn't be finsihed as long as u want. Many times ppl facing problem o[censored]nreachable number and not receiving any single message of attempts calls. Why does the performance gone down?? Where the ucla report has gone?
