    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,
            Bengaluru -560 038

              Dear team,

              I had a discussion with customer care team on 12th jan 2018 @ 121 and has explained my issue well, whereas the same stands unresolved. I request you to please get the below specified issues fixed i. E. Pertaining to my respective numbers associated with airtel. I¿m facing this issue since i¿ve added all my numbers into family plan.

              Unable to use internet. Similar issue was faced & reported multiple times earlier also on below numbers.

              My call back number will be [protected].in case if call is unanswered, then alternatively you can try calling on respective airtel numbers as mentioned above.

              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.

              Regards,
              Akshay

                  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/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.

                            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

                                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.

                                The customer care executives mailed a bill with the excess charges of INR 2999 brought down to half.

                                I also tried to change the plan details today to deactivate the international roaming pack for 2999 which did not change despite requesting the customer care service for the same. I also tried using the airtel app for the same, but there was a technical error. Now since the 2999 plan is still activated, I might have to pay money despite asking for it to be deactivated. A message was shown on the airtel app, attaching the screenshot here with.

                                      My balance of rs99 automatically deducted for activation of international roaming rental dtd 14.01.2018, whereas i have not activated it my self. I have my international number and i use airtel only when i am in india. I never pick any in coming calls on airtel when abroad, so i don't need such product. I will stop recharging airtel balance if my balance is not restored back.
