Airtel has self activated whatsmob service on 3/02/2018 and deducted r/s 75 from my balance without my consent.
On seeing the message i got it deactivated but r/s 75 were not returned.
It is unethical practice and need to be stopped.
Airtel to return the money and penalty for unethical deduction and pain to customer.

    I have opened a airtek payment bank wallet middle of january 2018. After that i have deposited rupees five hundred in this wallet. When i wanted to recharge airtel number from this wallet system shows error that this is a deit freeze account. After contacting customer care they ask me to send pan card and aadhar card scanned copy. I have send those documents very next day a case no has generate bearing no 1407703 dated 21 01 2018. But till now no sollution made by apb. When ever i call them they said it took 2 days to solve the problem. I called them 5 to 6 times but they always say it will take time. I just want to know how much time will it take to solve the problem. This is worst service and very bad behaviour of customer care exucutive, backend officials are worthless. My fault is that i have open a account in a worst bank of airtel. If they are unable to serve services then why they opened payment bank.

    Kindly resolve my issue as early as possible.

      I have recharged my airtel mobile number 82*79 using paytm.com and got recharge successfull email with order number [protected]. But i didn't received any recharge in my airtel. I ask for that from paytm and they asked me to ask from airtel. I call airtel and they told me that they had not received any recharge request from paytm. Later paytm addmited via mail that the problem was on their side and my debited amount 498/- will be added to may paytm cash. But it didn't happen. I have mailed paytm many times but i got not more than a auto generated mail to take care the issue. More disgusting is that when today they ask me again to talk to airtel. Now where that recharge amount had gone. They are not taking my issue seriously and not willing to refund my 498/-

          Registered on airtel money wallet last month however when i am trying to initiate any transfer from my account, it shows debit facility has been freezed in my account. I have submitted all valid identification documents as per kyc norms to the airtel money email id. I dont know what kind of foul play is going on, they are just trapping people to use airtel money to receive gifts in form of cash for shopping and spending and paying bills, and once you get the money in wallet, they will stop the debiting. Complained 2 times on customer care but they making fool all times..ac no. [protected]

            The airtel landline back end team are changing our landline basic tariff plan to broadband connection without even informing us!, this has been repeatedly happening and we have placed a complain, but the tariff plan is still not been restored back to the old plan, and our phone gets disconnected quite often because of the unprofessional manner in which the airtel backend team are working in changing the tariff and services without the consultation.
            We wish corrective action will be taken by the airtel higher up in this regards.

                    Airtel is the worst broadband provider. I live in pashan, pune, and for the last 3 months i am not getting proper speed. The plan is of 40 mbps and the speed which i usually get is 3-4 mbps.
                    Every time i call customer care they say that outage is going on in the area. This has been happening since last 3 months, don't know which outage in fixed line takes 3 months to fix. Are airtel technicians illiterate?
                    Each time i pay my bills on time, they also have high charges as compared to other service providers. Airtel has monopoly in pashan area, there is no other broadband service provider in this area, hence i am stuck with airtel.
                    Really, airtel only know how to bill customers, one of the worst companies for broadband connection.

                        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.

                              Worst network i am facing right now.. Even sometimes during a conversation suddenly whole network vanish. Same as data too.. Worst speed i ever used.. Sir i honestly request u.. Plz keep ur quality for which airtel is known to us... We r ready to pay more but can't compromise quality...

                              I have attached a screenshot which shows how much data i have used in whole day... It's really a embarrassment

                                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.

                                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,

                                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.
