And they do same for also my other cards too.

      We have ported out from airtel to vodafone on 17.10.2017 and there was an excess payment refundable to us for the following numbers

      Mobile number [protected] for refund of rs.7022.76
      Mobile number [protected] for refund of rs.3199.88
      Mobile number [protected] for refund of rs.2462.97

      We have made repeated reminders through mail as well as 121 call but inspite of about 3 months over we have neither received any cheque nor neft payment in our account. We have repeatedly submitted the bank details/ cheque copy but we are not getting any response from airtel.

      RECEIVED A CALL FROM [protected] AT 11:26AM. THE EXECUTIVE WAS TELLING THAT THE AMOUNT CANNOT BE REFUNDED THROUGH NEFT OR CHEQUE. THEY CAN ONLY REFUND THROUGH DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD. WE INFORMED THAT THE NUMBERS WERE REGISTERED IN COMPANY NAME RISHABH GOLD JEWELS INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED AND WE WILL BE HAPPY IF YOU REFUND THE SAME BY CHEQUE BUT THEY SIMPLY DISCONNECTED THE CALL STATING THAT ONLY CARD PAYMENT IS POSSIBLE. THIS IS JUST HOPELESS AND USELESS AND MAKING EXCUSES FOR NOT REFUNDING.

      AS THE CONNECTION WAS IN THE NAME OF COMPANY, AND THERE IS NO CREDIT AND DEBIT CARD IN COMPANY NAME, THEY NEED TO REFUND IN SIMILAR WAY WHICH AIRTEL HAS REFUNDED Rs.6502.91 FOR OTHER NUMBER IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT ON 14.12.2017. I ASKED THEM TO SEND A WRITTEN MAIL BUT THEY ARE NOT READY TO SEND THE MAIL AS WELL

        Hi!
        This is arun ([protected]).. I’m using airtel for past few years. I was happy with your service. But for the past few days i aint happy, because one of my colleague is tracking my call log through someone they know from airtel. He is also recording my calls in recent days. This affects my personal life badly. Being your customer i would like to have some privacy. I hope you assure me that. Kindly raise a complaint and do the needful asap.

          I am a prepaid user of airtel and travelled to usa last week but unable to make / receive call here. Please let me know asap what's going wrong. My number is [protected].

          I have communicated to airtel via email, twitter, facebook etc but they are not trying to fix the issue. Looks like they don't care about their customer.

          Please assist me as i am unable to call here.

            Dear sir/madam,

            I am writing this post requesting to you please reset mpin and send me, as my airtel payment account has been blocked. I even don't remember the setting up the mpin. I even tried calling up customer care (400) but even then i had to enter mpin again which could not resolve the problem and it was an automated call which was useless.

            I have sent a mail at [protected]@airtelbank.com 8 days before posting it here but there is no damn response yet. This is such an irresponsible behaviour towards your customer.
            For any clarification or further details to follow up the issue, get back to me on this number-[protected].
            I hope at least you to get back to me as soon as possible and resolve this issue.

            Thank you,

            Jitendra,
            [protected].

                        Hi,

                        I recently purchased an airtel connection - postpaid service 399/month (Infinity pack) mid november 2017. After the first month (November 2017) i paid the bill and activated isd services to australia and the airtel representative told me the charges are rs.12/minute. I made a call to an australian number on 13th dec and was on hold for 12 minutes after which i dropped the call. After that airtel disconnected my outgoing service for 15 days and constantly called and harassed me to pay a bill of rs.2364. When i asked why they said "you have to pay it", they could not give me a bill as they said the system will generate the bill only on 2nd january but they will terminate my services right away starting 14th december. The isd service was active only for 3 days or so from memory.

                        Today, on the airtel app i see the total bill is rs.3258. The bill summary only shows an amount of rs.392.36. I am not sure why airtel is charging me the above amount? When i ask customer care for call details and why the above price they have no information on that. They keep repeating that i have to pay it. I feel mentally harassed by airtel for no real reason and inadequacy from the side of airtel to provide correct information.

                        Can someone please help me out on this? Why would a 12 minute call to australia cost rs.3258? Did the airtel representative provide false information that it is rs.12 per minute?

                        Request you to help me out with this as i am very disappointed with airtel, their customer service and unacceptable charges.

                        Thanks,
                        Rithika

                        Airtel has barred this service without intimation. When Airtel asks a client to pay Rs.3258, as a client I am entitled to know the reason behind the amount quoted. If the bill shows 15 minutes of call when only 12minutes of call was made and the tariff on the bill is not printed and none of the Airtel customer service representatives are able to clarify the cost per minute of call to Australia then on what basis can Airtel expect a client to pay some random amount ?

                            I recently ported my sim from bsnl to airtel, i inserted sim into the mobile on 28 december of last month, but up to now my sim is not activated it's showing no service. I reached the airtel office where i got my sim, but they are saying insert in another mobile, restart but it's not working. This sim number is very important to me, i will get important calls, office calls. Please solve this issue as early as possible. It's about one week but it's not activated still. Resolve this issue as soon as possible

                                    I am raghavendra. My mobile number is [protected]. Masti pack was activated on my no. Without my permision and a certain amount started deducting from my account.

                                    How a company like airtel could be so irresponsible that in order to increase its revenues it uses all the wrong practices.

                                    It is fine in short run but in long run it will lose its loyal customer.

                                    If any one in airtel is listening... Could you please explain me reason for the same???

                                      I have applied mnp from aircel to airtel and visited the airtel office in kodungaiyur (Chennai-118) near kodungaiyur police station and the said they can ony migrate to airtel postpaid. After insisting them for prepaid they are asking to pay rs.150 for new prepaid sim. I enquired airtel customer care, trai websirte and also in airtel website it says that the sim card is only rs.19.

                                      But airtel store is asking to pay rs.150. I asked them why we have to pay rs.150 and they replied that they have got the sim from distriutor so they are charging rs.150 for all mnp customers. How is this fair. Please look into this issue and pls help us in migrating from aircel to airtel prepaid.
