        Hello,
        I am dhananjay, airtel postpaid customer from last 2 years but from last 6 months me and my 2 friends facing network problem at my home at 2, mhada colony, chunabhatti, sion, mumbai, maharashtra 400024, india.
        The airtel network coverage shows actual good network in network coverage report but actually no network or very very poor network in this area. (See report attached).
        I think airtel do fraud with customers.
        Please pay attention

          Complaint on huge bill amount of airtel postpaid connection,

          As i was using the airtel postpaid connection since last 12 years, my number was [protected], and all was working well, no due, no complaint, however in december 2017, they have raised my bill amount to 830565.49, without any intimation to me that your bill has been exceeded at your credit limit, as my phone bill credit limit was 25000/-,
          So here my concern is if my phone credit limit was set to 25000/- then how did they allowed to increase the amount to 830565.49, and why didn't they informed or message to me that your credit limit has been exceeded,
          Then why i got the message that your bill has been reached at 830565.49/- then i called to customer care and asked me why my bill has been increased so much, & why didn't u not inform me, then they didn't reply on it,
          Adding to the incident i mailed the concern department (Appellate. [protected]@in. Airtel.com) (Nodal. [protected]@in. Airtel.com) ([protected]@in. Airtel.com) on[protected]. But the response in all the loops what i got was there is no outstanding in the bill and you don’t have to pay for the same, later again when i faced the same issues so this time the bill showed me a amount of 827593.21. So again i sent a mail and there they responded me the they are still working for the same and it will get resolved by 72 hours its been more then 10 days but i have not got a single response.
          Hence i request to you to sort out this issue.

          I have all the proofs. And also attaching the snap shots

          This amount is very very big and unimaginable it is very shocking and if something happen to my mental or physical condition airtel will be responsible for that.

              Dear mr ceo
              I am using airtel postpaid no from last 9 years and from last one year i am facing a lot of problem regarding data and voice many times i have register the complaint for same but your team always close the complaint by remarks “ complaint resolved after visiting the technical team” but unfortunately no one has visited the site or no one contact me after resolving the issue.in june (It may be july) i have upgrade the plan as suggested your airtel meerut (Near begum bridge office) as a family plan for using 3g and 4g data but since upgradation the plan i have not used the data (3g, 4g) some time i have used your basic speed (Less than 2g). I have register the complaint for same last three month i have received reply that we have upgrading the speed for your area and problem will resolve after some time. I am paying full plan payment since the plan has changed by your team and i am using only basic plan.
              I have again contact your 121 today but today i have received same reply by your executive i ask to him please transfer my call to your senior then he has transfer my call to mr. Hervinder but unfortunately i have received another reply that your mobile no having one booster pack for data from apr 17 and now booster has expired and today we remove the booster. Then today i told him that who has fault (Me or airtel) but he has no simple revert then i have ask to transfer this call to another senior person then he transfer my call to mr prakash ad mr prakash revert same problem and ask me to that i have removed the booster and problem will resolve within 30 minutes then i again ask who has fault (Me or airtel) and he revert yes it is airtel.

              Now for this problem i have no faulty only fault from airtel.

              Now has prove that these type of fault has created by airtel himself. (It is 420 only with customers). So returned my all paid amount (Both postpaid connections) immediately so that i can port my connection to other service providers.

              Can you tell me why airtel is playing game with me or customer. If airtel is not giving proper data speed then why airtel is in market.

              If anyone stay in market then everyone prove himself.

              I have recorded today conversation if you want i will share you.

                My isp (Airtel) has not been providing a satisfactory customer service ever since november 2016. The frequency of disconnection in both landline and broadband service has been too high for the past year. I have to register a complaint almost every month for problems in connection or the line going totally dead. Though initially they resolve the problem within 3 days of filing a complaint regarding the same to their customer care, there is again another issue cropping up within the next three weeks. I have filed about 9-10 complaints so far with 2-3 escalations regarding this and it is really annoying on their part to not heed my complaints properly even though i pay my monthly bills on time for the past three years without any dues.

                I have even checked my lines, cable and modem from my end to make sure this is something not caused from my end. These issues seem to be caused from my isp's end 100 % of the time. The broadband speeds are also not consistent and is not on par with the speeds that they advertise to the public. I feel like these connectivity issues indirectly throttle my monthly data transfer speeds.

                I kindly request the authorities concerned to take note of this issue and address this grievance as soon as possible and prevent the isp (Airtel telecommunications) from falsely advertising to public when they can't even guarantee minimum a year of problem free service from their part.

                For the personal annoyance caused (I. E, unable to rely on stable internet & landline connection for both my work and emergency purposes), i request my isp to provide a 100 % refund on my monthly bills at least for the past 8 months though i am their "most valued" (As quoted by their customer service executive on call) customer for over 2 years.

                Please find my consumer details below.

                  Hi,
                  I am user of airtel service for more than 8 years, even i started my first phone with having airtel sim. Today i got a call from [protected] at 11:11 am. Date[protected]. He was offering me some hello tune service, when i told him that i already been denied to taking that service earlier twice. That person become very rude to me as i owe him some money. He ordered me to have dnd service in my number. When i asked him that he must have some records that i already denied that service. He told me he does not have any record and again ordered me to have dnd service and cut the phone.
                  The attitude of that person was very wrong. It was like an insulting behaviour. I was a loyal customer to airtel, i think i should start finding some other options also.

                    Ported from vodafone to airtel

                    Vodafone services are deactivated but airtel services are still in pending mode.

                    But the airtel sim is not yet activated even after 24 hours now.

                    The customer care no [protected] is always give time but nothing is happening. Called them several time all that say is "you will have to wait they can not do anything from there end"

                    Kindly do the needful to activate the sim immediately.

                      I have recharged my airtel digital tv account for the past two months and have received my confirmation message as well. But the tv still shows error code 6 even after recharging for 2 times. Thus i had to call the customer service and the ladies who pick the calls speak utter unrelated stuffs like technical error etc. My question is how can my tv alone have a technical error for 60 days? I just switched to airtel very recently but the service is as bad as my old dth provider. I hope
                      This issue is resolved at least now.

                          I come to india from abroad every year to visit my family. This year i purchased over rs150 worth coupons from airtel and i have made only one phone call, and arranged to have two uber pickups. But airtel deducted all the money from my account. I have a balance of 1.67! Airtel contacted me and gave me a list of data usage etc, which does not make sense as no one could have spent all the data with one short in-city phone call or by arranging two uber pickups.
                          This is unprofessional and extortionist. I will never use airtel and neither will my family and friends. I am aware things in india are not above board, but this kind of theft is a new kind of a low.

                          I feel vindicated here as i see that i am not the only person to file a complaint about airtel's business policies and scams. If we all boycott airtel that should teach them a lesson and perhaps drive them out of business and make room for more ethical competition and new businesses.

                          Thanks.

                            I forgot mpin for my airtel bank account and it doesn't let me reset new one with aadhaar detail, it says your aadhaar detail doesn't match our records how can it be? I'm using my aadhaar card to fill details. The customer care number, all of them show invalid at the time the computer voice connects to an officer, i'm not able to talk to any airtel customer care officer. I'm getting frustrated and regret adding money in this account. Plz help

                                  Please refer case # 1204149, 1210121 and 1215387. Ref # 57380184, provided by [protected]@airtel.com, [protected]@airtel.com and [protected]@airtelbank.com... I had corresponded so many times with regards to subject matter through my email id - adusumalli. [protected]@gmail.com. As per goi and uidai instructions, mobile services, are supposed to link aadhhar with mobile sim only. Whereas, while linking my aadhaar with airtel mobile # [protected] at airtel outlet, i was not aware that, airtel payments bank limited, without my consent... It has come to my notice, that, aadhaar has been de-linked my sbi a/c automatically and lpg subsidy has been credited in airtel payments bank ltd. I therefore, request airtel company to look into my complaint seriously and close the issue at the earliest by deactivation of aadhaar from airtel payments bank and re-link with my previous bank... Thanks... With regards... From adusumalli ramakrishna.

                                    On[protected] i got a duplicate sim for mobile no [protected] due to the loss of original sim at airtel office, mandaveli, chennai.

                                    I paid rs 25/ as the cost of the sim.

                                    I had given the adhaar xerox copy and fingerprint.

                                    The staff gave the sim with due process and said that the will be activated within 4 hours.

                                    But the sim was not activated even after 24 hours now.

                                    The customer care no 198 is not responding.

                                    Kindly do the needful to activate the sim ([protected]) immediately.

                                        I booked broadband connection on 11 dec 2017 and payment made on 12 dec 2017. Even after 12 days i didn't get any connection and proper response from airtel. Called many times and they themselves don't have proper details and one will say it cancelled due to some technical issue and other say it is in process and connection will be given within 3 days. I filed request for refund and never going to airtel for any service. And migrating my number to other network as well.

                                        Unfortunately airtel team doesn't have any coordination among them and no escalation matrix followed so far. I wasted my time and money and frustrated a lot
