      16th december 2017
      While i was recharging on airtel online page, by mistaken i recharged for my dad's number because it was pre added based on last recharge for 199 and that number already had a different plan.

      But i was trying to recharge to my account and not my dad number.

      Wrong number: [protected].
      Transaction id:[protected]
      Correct number: [protected]
      Amount: 199

        I've been using mobile no :- [protected] (From karnataka - bangalore region) from 2008 till present. It was my postpaid number from 2008 till 2016 and i've changed it to prepaid in 2016 as i had to frequently travel out of india on short work related visits to foreign countries so that i can recharge and use when needed.

        I've changed this number [protected] from post paid to prepaid and activated international roaming as well so that i will get calls/messages when i was on travel out of india on business visits and it was working perfectly.

        Now that i notice from oct 2017, my sim card is not working and not detecting any signal. When i tried to recharge it is saying "the airtel number is not correct", which is worrying me.

        Can you explain me what happened here? Have this number is blocked, if so, please reactivate it and i continue use our airtel services in india and outside india.

        Considering i'm airtel customer from 2008, please help me in this regard. I badly need this number as this is my primary point of contact number from 2008.

        You can reach me on [protected]@gmail.com

        Appreciate your response.
        Prem

          Hi,
          I am formally registering complaint against airtel for arbitrary levying of one time charges without intimating of applying these charges, this is either wrong doing if their employees to meet targets, either way they cannot charge without initimation this is gross fraud and i demand that others be careful and airtel administration reigns in its spurious employees, as they claim these charges are applied automatically, if that claim of your employees are true you would be subject to violating consumer rights as a company policy. You are suggested to take cognisance before this comes to your doorstep as a major company policy wrong doing. If it's not a company policy discipline and fire the erring and corrupt employees.
          Thanks and regards,
          Ispita

                Dear sir,
                My grandmother has been charged ₹120.00 on 11.12.2017 on her airtel number with an sms saying "thanks for choosing adofgames...", while no permission was asked prior to that and since she is 76 years old, so she is incapable of reading sms-s let alone confirming offers.
                When the customer care was called and asked for refund, the service provider mr. Bikash adhikary said that the subscription was confirmed by sms confirmation on 4th december (No sms came on that day) and would again charge the same amount next month if not stopped. Neither did he refund the money, nor did he treat us with respect and kept on using sarcasm as defense. This is unacceptable and now the phone balance is ₹0.49 with which no calls can be made in case of emergency. We are afraid to recharge the phone as the same may recur again. This is not the first time airtel has deducted money in such unjustified manner, but in the past i did receive refunds in few occasions after much harrasment. I wish this money be refunded too. Kindly guide who else to complain.

                    Worst airtel service in my 12+ years with airtel

                    I moved to new flat & requested for new broadband connection through online. When requested, got a call quickly, they checked the feasibility etc & gave the document proof & paid advance rental. Upto this it was all very quick. I was informed by the executive that in another 24hrs will get the installation & connection. Then started the trouble. Waited for 2 to 3 days. No calls from airtel representatives nor the customer care. When called for customer care, they said no issues we will escalate dont worry. Will make this request high priority, in 24 hrs our executive will call for the installation. Again after a day when called up, it was too irritated & frustrated as got the same answer. Again patiently waited for one more day. No calls. When again called customer care & asked to connect to their manager, they put the call on hold for more than 15 mins but no response. When called up again, the answer was no feasibility in your area. When asked up that most of them in the apartment uses airtel & currently the executives are coming in daily for giving connection., the reply was the technician said there is no feasibility.

                    If no feasibility, then how come the person raised request after me from my flat will get the connection?

                    This is the worst experience with airtel in my past 12+ yrs relation with airtel. I really felt annoyed & frustrated. If i speak with customer care, then they will update as not feasible. Now a days no trust on airtel, its become worst day by day. It does not give value for customer relationship. Is not the customer care to understand the situation we are upto? But always say technician will get in touch soon.

                    Fully frustrated & disappointed with airtel service.

                            I have a jio prepaid mobile and since most of my family members have airtel postpaid, i also wish to port my jio number to airtel. Initially on 02/12/17 visited their customer centre in bangalore hsr layout and per their advises submitted all requisite documents of my wife's parent airtel postpaid number and also her fingerprint impression and generated a upc number valid until 7/12/17 and shared with the concerned executive of that centre. No action and hence spoke to their customer care 121 and lodged a complaint under ref. Bal/56625003 dtd5/12/17. No action and hence again visited their above customer care and due to some technical error per their request we resubmitted all the documentation and fingerprint. Also generated another upc and shared but no action. Complained to their nodal officer under sr 81595387/5.12.17 & again under sr 8177041 dt.10/12/17. Based on their advises visited the same centre and represented and again generated another upc valid until 24/12/17 but still no action until today, ie. 15/12/17 for such a small mobile portability process when trai and govt. Of india legally permit mnp between telecom operators. Can trai or consumer forum intervene as i am now with no phone and plans of either operator and no positive response within specified time frame for action. Whom to be blamed or is it my mobile portability request illegal for airtel. Spoken to so far 25+ executives of airtel and visited 3 centres of airtel, generated 4 upc nos. And got the jio approval for portability but no action. Hence complained to nodal officer desk and appellate desk. No concrete action either positive or negative till date from any of those approached airtel personnel. What best can we do in such an arrogant and lethargic service providers and can theiir airtel promise be trusted.
                            (Copies o[censored]pc nos. Generated and jio approval messages will be sent upon your request)

                            I Hope the above COMPLAINT is still active and not resolved because one of the executives called this morning and said the network MNP is put on hold by AIRTEL and will be resolved in January 2018. But I am not convinced and hence I am escalating further and hence expect the issue as not resolved.
                            Dear Sir,
                            My mobile number is [protected] I have complaint of my airtel sim I did recharge of 448 but here calls and Internet are coming but messages are not at all sending or going Why message are not going what is the problem please help us this problem

                              I recently deposited an amount of rs. 147 in my airtel wallet. Now when i try to do any transactions from it a notice appears and says "debit for this account is not allowed". I would like a refund if airtel can't process transcations beacuse it sure as hell can accept addition of money into the wallet. Neither can i transfer the amount to anyone nor can i use it to recharge my or anbody else's number.

                                  Dear mr riaz,

                                  My name is soumik prasad
                                  Mobile num : [protected].

                                  Issue: sir today around 1:30 approx i had made a payment of my postpaid account of rs 500 via my airtel app payment wallet.

                                  Now with your great app says thank you for the transaction message came but within few mins some another message came as failed transaction, so i have redone the transaction via the payment app now this time message comes as thank you n all.
                                  Now when do i check my bank account balance found that i had made a 2 time transaction of rs 500 of paying the bill so i had given a call to the customer care another good expirience the person pickup the call was in his own dream world speaking what god knows so asked for the supervisors help now the person came with complete timeline n details as to take the call n put a complain letz the customer go off to sleep for 10 days.

                                  Now my question rises like i was a reliance customer for around 5-6 years n old one mr lijo fron airtel sevice manager took my account n told me to get in as i also do found the confidence n approach that being the best in the telecom sector lets go for it.

                                  Trust me its a horrible expirience which i am getting from day 1 like bill payment issue app issues now what else left. What kind of service and approach which you do towards the customer?

                                  Like to get my own money which i have paid the billed amount n with the mistake of your airtel app i have done another payment as a loyal customer now ihave to wait for this whole complete month correct? Which is being said the tat by the customer service team see rs 500 is not the issue that i have paid but the its the revert back of the services which i am getting its just awesum.

                                  Its just really making me sick n tired of it why is such so? Why should i bear your issue? You say itz airtel promise postpaid promise its all fake nothing which you can do.

                                  Requesting you if you please go through the email want an revert which i need to buy. Else i am marking the email to all the heads who are available in the system.

                                  I would require an quick and prompt action on this regard.

                                  Thanks & regards

                                    I want to change my number from postpaid connection to prepaid connection as i am very disappointed from the postpaid plans. I had clear all my bills. Kindly help me to solve this because i am not able to pay the unnecessary bills. If my problem will not be solved within today there is no other way to port my sim or change it. So please register my complaint and help me to convert it from postpaid to prepaid.

                                        I have received a bill from airtel for a period they have not provided any service. Now, i am getting frequent spams to pay my bill. When i complained they waived off the faulty bill but left approx. 9 rupee pending.

                                        Yesterday (15th dec 2017), the customer executive request me on call to drop a mail today (16th dec 2017) so that he can waive the remaining amount. Which he was not able to do due to some technical issue at their end. Then the same person went on to write a different date (1st jan 2018) on the mail. Now, they are calling me and asking me to drop a mail in jan2018 to get the amount waived. When i declined this request, they sent me a link to make the payment for the fraud bill they have generated.

                                        Now, the issue is why should i send any mail to get a waiver for a service which was never given to me. And, if i have to send a mail to them, then technically i am providing them a service. And for that i need payment. Else, they can go and waive it off, without needing a mail from me. As they have billed a non-customer of the mentioned service, they cannot hold me hostage to send any mail to them
