I had recharged my airtel prepaid number [protected] on 28th august 2017, through airtel my app for rs. 100/- with full talktime and unlimited validity.

After making the recharge i kept my sim out from handset, when i inserted the sim in my new handset after a month's time, all the amount was deducted from my accounts without any usage.

I called the customer care, but i was surprised by the answer of executive, after making enquiries about the deduction of amount i was told that the amount was deducted as rent for these months.

Does a prepaid connection has a rent...?

    I am unable to transfer my airtel wallet money from my airtel paments bank a/c-[protected] to any other bank nor i am unable to do any recharge.. I made a complaint about this to the customer care they told that the debit has been freeze so they told me to submit the documents through mail.. I have submitted all the documents as per kyc norms but still i am unable to do any debit transaction... Customer care is not helping also... I have submitted the documents many times... But still my problem is unsolved... Airtel is the worst company i have ever seen... I earnestly request you, never ever to use airtel money. Its a big scam

      I am getting at least 10 calls per day asking whether it is airtel gallary no. Some even start complaining non stop about some problems. Please sort out the issue. It is creating lot of troubles. I am not a paid employee of airtel. Is this the quality you are offering to your customer. Sort out my complaint immediately else i will switch to some other operator.

          Hello,

          I have done mtp for my number [protected] from vodafone to airtel haryana circle. Now i am airtel customer.

          I am outside india currently and somehow i cannot make calls to any number neither incoming is working for me. It says calls are barred. I have enough balance to make/receive calls.

          In my phone handset the calls are displayed as barred and when i try to cancel it, it asks for password. I tried with 0000 and 1234 but it says network mmi errror.

          Could not connect to customer care as well. Can you please check the matter personally?

                      My cell no.[protected] of bsnl which was port to airtell in the month of aug.17. After switching activated to airtell, suddenly it was de-activated. I had contacted several time to customer care as well as local airtel shop from which it was made for porting, but till date no fruitful answer i have been given. I had simply asked to airtel that whether activate my number or returned to bsnl, so that again it may be activated from bsnl. But action has been taken from your end. Sir please look into the matter and solve the matter under intimation through my e-mail [protected]@gmail.com.

                        30gb free data was offered 5 months back for my postpaid mobile connection and i had accepted it. However, from past 3 months, airtel is charging 500rs for data per month while i still have 23gb data balance in my postpaid account. I called customer care in oct and 500rs was reverted back. But in nov and dec bill again 500rs has been over charged per month. Till now i have called atleast 4 times to customer care with recent call done on 26th dec 2017 with complaint reference number 82262667 and the customer care person by name deepak had promised to resolve it within 48hrs. Till now it is not resolved. Airtel customer service has become pathetic and looks like they are least bothered about customers. Airtel will end up losing customers with such carelessness. I am frustrated calling customer care very often without any resolution. Please help to get out of this trouble. I have decided to move out of airtel once the billing issue is resolved.

                              I had ported my no [protected] from vodafone to airtel. Porting was complete on 29 dec. I was using the airtel network until after half an hour, it displayed no service. And the network was gone. Customer care advised me to replace d sim which would take 4 working days to activate. I dnt have any alternate no. And it's my official no. Switching it off for a single day also can put my job at stake. Now i am regretting my decision of switching to airtel. And the airtel store people are not picking up my call.. Where i initiated the porting process. Kindly provide me with a solution whoever is reading this.

                                Hi team,

                                I don't know who is going to fix my issue but in hope that you may fix my issue i am writing my issue in this forum.

                                I did postpaid to prepaid conversion on 23 rd dec 2017. On 28 morning my postpaid number got deactivated. Then i inserted my prepaid number and its not getting activated. Both customer care and airtel store is not having any clue what is the issue so i don't know whom to approach for activating my number.

                                Request you to please help - my number is [protected]

                                Please look into this urgently

                                      I have an airtel postpaid connection since 8 yrs. For 4 yrs i was using ecs service and asked them to stop ecs 6 months back. They took 3 months to stop my ecs. Finally after 3 months they stopped the ecs. 3 more months down the line, ecs has hit my bank account again without me being informed!. I do not have sufficient funds in my bank account. The ecs is bounced and i had to pay penalty for ecs bouncing.
                                      For their mistake of activating ecs again without informing i had to get a remark on my credit score. It is so bad and i am very upset. I actually had signal problems in my area, i have called them multiple times, they have come to my place and checked. Later for few days, the signal was good. After that again signal got worse.. Even now the call gets cut suddenly. I have changed mobiles thinking it could be mobile problem.
                                      With these multiple issues i am going to change the network.

                                      Thanks & regards,
                                      Sangu srujana.

                                      Hi,
                                      After visiting airtel branch at Uppal, we came to know that by default ECS is activated. Because of which i had to face 2 problems.
                                      1) Pay penalty of rs. 413/- for ECS bouncing
                                      2) Remark on credit score for ECS bouncing.
                                      I know you cannot help on #2 now. Atleast work on #1 and refund the penalty i have paid to bank because you had activated ECS by default without informing me! Else I may have to go to consumer court.

                                      In the below email, you mentioned 'Rs. 235.85/- has been reversed back on[protected]'. Why are you reversing this amount? Please try to understand the problem first.
                                      Bill amount Rs. 235.85/- was paid by me manually through online on 18th this month. After that you activated ECS by default and ECS has hit by bank account on 26th Dec where i have insufficient balance in my bank account. That is the reason ECS is bounced. On 27th when I deposited some amount in my bank account, penalty of rs. 413/- was levied by bank automatically for bouncing ECS.

                                      You are trying to take the bill amount via ECS for the same month for which I paid manually through online, which is wrong. Please STOP ECS. Please refund the penalty of rs. 413/- i paid to bank because you activated ECS without my request. If you have any other queries, call me.

                                        I have always been a fan of airtel because of their superior quality of service. Even when everyone was jioing around i stood up for airtel in my group with quality of service as the only weapon. But this fan of yours is hurt now.

                                        #airtel - 6days and still i d'ont have the simcard activated. I had just initiated a sim change request and this is how they treat. 20 plus phone followups, 7 times store visit, 3 times new sim. Still the job has to be done. Patience is not hard to find these days. Respect it when someone shows it.

                                        I know you will be prompt here hopefully and would like to know the details. The mobile number is [protected] and it has been 7 odd days and i am yet to get my sim activated after documemt submit and multiple successful aadhaar authentication.

                                        This is utter harassment of a common man.

                                        No longer a fan
