Hi airtel team,

I have converted my airtel post-paid to prepaid and it is successfully activated today.
I am trying to recharge now and each time i am getting error message as : “transaction failed”
I have tried recharge using my airtel app & paytm as well.

Since i need to make outgoing calls, it is very urgent to recharge my prepaid sim.
Also not able to recharge data pack as well.

Will look forward to hear from you soon.
Thank you!

I hav ported from airtel in d month of nov 2017 and recently received a msg from airtel stating that a bill of 534 rs was pending.. It was also sent to my current subscriber idea.. And they threatened to barr my no unless i make d payment.. This amount was settled by me on 31 dec 2017.. Yet again i hav received another msg from airtel saying that a bill of rs 233 has been generated.. This is sheer loot of customer's money..

Hi, i'v been using the airtel postpaid since 2017,
I am on a plan of 499 per month but my bill of the 3 months was over rs.1400.
So i went there and asked him why my bill is above my plan, over which he replied i cannot help you with this and suggested me to port my airtel no. To bsnl/jio and explained me the procedure of "how to port airtel to bsnl/jio"
And at last he thanked me too, i have no idea why.

Now, my question is, airtel is one of the most trusted and used network in india, is this the way airtel took care of his customers? If yes, then i am happy to port my airtel to any other network.

This account [protected] has been opened with using my details illegally by airtel. I have made several written complaints to them, however no response has been received. I want to take legal action against the company. This wrong account opening is impacting my cybil score badly.

Kindly help.

Recently i have renwed my 3g sim to 4g lte (In december 2017). I have been receiving a lot of wrong calls from few days now (11 jan'18 ~ 3 wrong numbers | 12 jan'18~2 wrong numbers | 13 jan'18 ~ 5 wrong numbers).5 different wrong calls a day cannot be a coincidence. Even, i get watsapp (Logged in with the same number) messages from different people i don't know. I guess my number is getting mislinked with other's numbers.

I changed my sim belong to no-[protected] before some months from airtel model town office jalandhar city and the sim was given to me 4g which was hang to my mobile handset. I complained and changed several times but the problem was not solved. Some time i used this sim in another mobile for a short period. When i used it last time, the balance was approx - rs-100. Yesterday i used it again and saw that the balance was only rs-2 and some paise. I recharged it by rs-26 two times and the talk time given to me rs-52. I tried to call my another no after recharge it and my call was cut after few seconds. I saw that the balance is zero.
In this way, airtel done fraud with me.
Now i request to you take action against airtel punjab circle and help to me to receive the amount of talk time again

There is an airtel junction box in front of our house for past few years.
The box is blocking the place in front of my house and i am unable to park my car. I tried contacting the customer desk but was not able to get it done.
There is a proper place at the end of the road where it can be placed so it does not cause inconvenience to anybody.
It will of great benefit if the box is relocated.

Location of the junction box: no-446, 5th main road, second stage, indiranagar,

Above all, uncertainly my number [protected] is showing not reachable and m receiving missed call alerts for every call.

I’m unsure what has been done from backed team, they are still saying that my basic data component was deactivated. Please fix it.

Airtel broadband reference no. Ontmbanga38521258c:

Before i took the connection from airtel, the sales lady told me to make advance payment of 3 months to get an installation/activation waiver of rs. 1000, and i made payment of rs. 3788/- (Plan 999 + 99 topup for free std/local unlimited calls + tax) on 23rd sep 2016.
After this airtel broadband was installed on 9th october 2016, and on 27th oct 2016 as per my bill cycle the account got reset and inside airtel my app mobile application it is showing that a payment of rs. 1949/- is pending. For which i raised the concern the same day. After this every weekend i had to spend 2-3 hours of calling up customer care and writing them emails for about 11 months, and every time they responded with an answer that it will be resolved within 48 hours-2 weeks time depending on who was on the other end from customer care. I even escalated this to highest escalation in the matrix, the nodal office, but no one was providing me the resolution, just false promises.in the meantime airtel team keeps sending me the bills for entire year increasing the due amount and they barred my internet connection for the nov and december month as well, for which i had made the payment and was entitled to use the services.
Post this hassle for about an year i stopped following up, and in 27th july 2017 bill the team posted the amount paid by me in the account and deducted that amount from the due amount of the entire year, which included the installation fee of rs.1000 and the late fee etc.
Now when i'm asking for the waiver of the installation fee again by follwoing up with the customer care after multiple followups they agreed to waive off the rs. 1000 amount and to be reflected in 24 hours, but not to my surprise, that also didn't happen for next week, i called up again, and got an response that the promotion team had made false promises gto you and there will be no waiver, and i have to make the due amount payment of rs. 3367 as on 15 jan 2018.
I have lost complete faith in airtel team as they make false promises, are lethargic in doing their work and hassling customers for not working on their end.

Hi

My number ([protected]) is showing invalid for more than a month and i am not getting any satisfactory answer from airtel executives. I am doing continuous follow up but still there is no resolution. Its my primary number and because of that i am unable to use any digital mediums like paytm. Also, it might be the case that i lost any important call because it is my 3 year old number. Could you please help me in this.

Sir,
I got 1gb 4g/3g data for 3 days... Today when i started the mobile and data and check the speed... After turning off the mobile data... The charges has been deducted from my main balance... There is no deduction from data balance... I lost 47rs todays even though i have still 1gb data unused...
I tried changing from 4g to 3g network type... And again done recharge of rs 10 and start the mobile data... And after starting mobile data... And checking the speed... Again i lost rs7
I lost total (47+7) rs... Rs54

I am your customer from very long time... I never face any issue till today... But the today's incident made me really unsatisfied...

Please resolve this issue... I need my money back that i lost today

Sir/madam,

Am having airtel dth (Airtel digitaltv id[protected]) service for the last one year. And there is charges (Penalty rs.15) for late recharge. Though it is a prepaid plan then what is the necessity for penalty?? The disclaimer details provided by them didn't mentioned anything about penalty for late recharging. Though this may be a strategy for them it seems to be cheating.

Yesterday night i had activated 50% night data cash back... I used my data after 12pm... But i didnt receive half of my used data in the morning... I'm experiencing worst response from airtel... If this continues i will change my network... Please try to resolve my issues... Dont try to cheat customers... All your data packs are costly even for customers using airtel for 7 years...

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.

Everytime i watch anything on airtel tv when toggling to 4g-lte live tv only buffers and it stops after every 10 seconds and start buffering and it is very irritating during watching any channel also same issue in you tube as checked speed test speed is almost good but during online live tv or anything watchs on youtube so much buffering. As this is airtel own app it should not have buffering kindly do something to resolve as when watching some interesting has to switch off 4g and to switch jio due to so much buffering.

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.
