    Requested relocation on 20 nov 17. Cust id #[protected]. Request no 67847745. I was asked to make a recharge for rs 150 as a precondition to request relocation. Relocation was not completed till 9 dec 17. Owing to the delay the recharge amount was exhausted as i was unable to utilise it due undue delay by airtel. Cust care supervisor blames it on the customer. I fail to understand how. Please refund with due compensation. Its a matter of righteousness more than the amount of money in question.

      I have open network complaint for two months, continue to get bills. Get call from airtel legal person and says he waived off one month bill. However continue to get reminder for waived off amount payment. I cancelled the connection. One hand get a call from relationship team on the other hand customer care says number is suspended due to non-payment. Pathetic!

        I have ported my number [protected] from airtel. More than one month has passed still no network on my phone. Contacted everywhere but no resolution. Even high authorities of airtel is not serious about the inconvenience caused. How can a service provider cheat customer this way?
        Kindly look into the matter.

          It is very much painful for not getting a good service from airtel.
          We do not know that who is coming from post paid div. / any dsa but proper guidance and technical response is lacking till date. It seems that we are being harrassed by airtel.
          Please do the needful at earlist, otherwise we shall have no other option other than to think about some future plan.

            Hi

            My name is manjot singh and i am using the airtel postpaid no [protected] since last 2-3 years. My bill plan is 275 plus gst and i always got bill of rs 350 to 400 per month.

            But in the month of november i got bill of rs 5000 which is blunder at airtel end because this is my calling plan and i have never requested for data services on this no but i got bill of rs 5000. They have accepted that this was by mistake and we will rectify the bills. After my complaints they have waved 3000 from bills but my bill was only 275 plus gst 18 % for october 2017.

            I have requested so many times to rectify the bills otherwise i am not going to pay any amount. But i am not getting any revert or call at airtel end even they have stopped services at my no. According to me my bills amount are as bellow

            Oct 2017 = 342+18 gst

            Nov 2017 = 342+18 gst

            I have complaints so many times for the same but i am not getting proper resolutions at your end. So now i am going to legal proceeding with airtel for making fraud with me. I will took you in court and sue against your company for misleading me and make me mentally upset.

            Regards

              Airtel has opened airtel payments bank account without my consent, i sent many mails to this company to deactivate my account but no one bothers to deactivate payment bank account instead of help they reply me to use all amount and make zero balance in account and when i tried to nake zero balance the application does not allow
              This way the company is looting peoples money to make profits
              Because of this account my lpg subsidy is credited to airtel payments bank which dont allow you to transfer money or withdraw full amount
              Its cheating, and they should be jailed fraud business
              I want my money back and close account
              After failed attempts with this cheating company i ported my number to idea but the problem is not solved
              The executives are irresponsible and negligent
              I want the company to deactivate my airtel payments bank account immediatelys

                  I ve wrongly entered the mobile no. While doing online recharge through netbanking for my prepaid number.

                  Subscriber number must be 10 digit and transaction id must be between 6 to 10 digits. Please re-send wrr[space]wrong_number[space]transaction_id[space]amount[space]right_number.

                        Respected sir, i have been using your sim from last 18 years, and all my family members. And we were happy. But nowadays we are facing some problem with your company. Whenever i recharge my number with some talktime balance, it get deducted by your company without any reason. And your company's costumercare service is also not giving me any details, and not even solving my problem. I just want to request you to please stop deducting my balance from my number. I hope you will understand my situation and solve the problem. Thank you.

                          Dear all,

                          In continuation to my further mail the reply sent to me by airtel is attached after the disconnection of my mobiles for four days that they need another 96 hours. However my one number is replying by automated reply that the "you are not dialing a valid no, please check the no. You have dialed. I am using this no from last eight years and how it become invalid no. The back hand team is just of poor engineers and pathetic. I do not know how to deal with these peoples. The 121 and 198 they say to go to store but the manager mr naveen rai at sector 7 ramphal chowk, dwarka, new delhi-110075 over there he left office yesterday on 08/12/2017 at 6.00 pm and stopped picking my phone. So i will not suggest any body to port or buy new numbers of airtel.
                          Status of both numbers
                          Stuck up numbers are -[protected] you are not dialing a valid no
                          [protected] - this no is temporarily out of service

                          Dear all,

                          I am very much fed up owith your pathetic services because i requested for de-consolidation and postpaid to prepaid of two no's -[protected] and [protected] from my family plan and de-consolidation is done by you but both the no's are disconnected by you i don't know on what reason and what fault of yours and i am without phone from last three days and even on your complaint no. 198 is unable to lodge complaints and get ticket no for my complaint, they are not ready to lodge my complaint and issue a ticket no. So it is unfortunately a very bad services by the airtel. I visited your store at sector -7 dwarka, ramphal chowk, so many times and did not get any solution for the same. So, i request you to port my no directly from your side and issue us the port code (Mnp code) so that i can port my no's. To some other service provider.

                          The same thing is happening at the store i have visited 20 times in three days to the airtel store and spoke to mr. Naveen rai at your store but no solution. He is saying that back hand team is hopeless and only they can solve your problem i van't help you.

                          Your services are gone pathetic and poor.

                          Thanks

                          With best regards

                                Hi, my wife moved to bangalore after our marriage and i have initiated the request to change her airtel postpaid from andhra to karnataka.

                                I have initiated the request with airtel customer support and i also went to airtel store last month.

                                Nothing is done so far and i am paying a lot for her outgoing airtel calls. I am ending up paying 1600 per month because of this. I am not sure why it is taking more time just to migrate her postpaid plan to karnataka.

                                I am not happy with the way they respond saying wait for sometime.

                                actually, I wanted to change her plan from Postpaid to prepaid and from Andhra to Karnataka. I went to store last month in Indiranagar Bangalore and I asked them to make this change. I have submitted all the documents they have asked for and they asked me to wait for 90 days. I am not sure why I need to wait for 90 days to make this simple change.

                                And they said if I want to change her plan from Andhra postpaid to Karnataka postpaid, it will be activated in 48 hours, so I did that to avoid extra charges and even this change is not done yet and I am paying a lot for the bill.

                                  I am frustrated and want to escalate my point. I have been chasing customer care and instead of resolving my query they are sending me my bill again and again. Even upon calling they are not giving me any information and unable to sort out my problem.

                                  I have been charged extravagantly high for data usage on 22 nov when i was abroad. I used mobile internet for few mins just for google maps and i have been shown 545 mb data usage in my bill for that day which is not at all possible. I got a message from airtel that when i am abroad and my usage goes beyond rs 649, international roaming plan will be activated where i have 500 mb of data available, so i intentionally set the data limit on my phone to 450 mb. As per me, i might have used just few mbs.in worst case 450 mb after which mobile data would have been disabled automatically.

                                  So i am wrongly charges which is very frustrating. I kept on asking the specific data details from your customer care and they just keep sending me my bill again and again. They are giving stale reply for security reason we cant give specific details which site or app has used that data. It's my usage which anyways airtel can provide to me. If not i cant buy the point that i have used 545 mb data as i have set the data limit on my mobile to 450 mb. Kindly check and resolve this issue asap.

                                    Airtel — videopind

                                    I got a message today at 3.39 am that videopindw service has been activated @ rs0.0 for 1day (S). Txn id n[protected], 09dec17 03:39. Service will be renewed after validity expiry. To use, click http://bit.ly/actvnvp (Data charges apply). To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223. More services? Call 56789
                                    I didn't even opt for this then why this has happened to me?
                                    I deactivated the service sent stop sms to deactivate. But it is sending a revert message that stop is an invalid entry???! I want to ask why do you activate any service without customer acceptance. I want my money back.

                                      On 14-oct-17, i make a recharge from my airtel app using my debit card. The amount get dedicated from my debit card but the recharge get decline by airtel. I have call in there customer care many times, but still the amount is not credited in my bank account. Poor service. I have all your recording of the conversation with your executive and team leader. I think your bank accounts are running out of money that's why you people didn't refund my amount.
                                      Take my money as a donation and make your service good.
