I have been charged for Internet usage for 10 days without any notice and now the bill is 6593 which is so much amount which I cant pay as I am not using any service except Rs 149 Basic plan and 149 roaming charges

Mailed to airtel customer care but no reply.

If this is the case I need to discontinue all my services with Airtel.

    Hello,
    This is to inform you that on 27/11/2017 your executive have misguided me and changed my bill plan, but on the same day i vomplaint to custermer care about all this and they said the issue will be resolved in 48 hours but i did not get any call and then i called once back then also they repeated the same thing that issue will be resolved by 9th of december, but no call i recd. From your side and after waiting long time i called on 18/12/2017 then your kaushik assured me that issue will be resolved and again he changed (My plan in my family 399) but today when i recd. My bill of 1132 rs. Then i called custmer care then they are saying you have to pay the bill... Why should i pay, when i was misguided by your executive.

    Now the airtel executive not responding its more than one month.. Please do the needful asap.

    Regards

      Hi, i asked for broadband and i got hotspot from mr. Dhiraj fron khanpur dealership centre. He sold the hotspot for 4000 approx and never started the connection saying verification failed. I asked him to return money or provide connection and he said there was no transaction of money. He took paytm payment in his airtel company number he said, cheque he refused so that the payment is instant and connection can be established next day. I denied cash payment due to recent demonitisation when i requested broadband nov 2016. Please help.
      All i get is customer service agent returning my calls but no resolution as promised. One manager also spoke to me but he ended up selling broadband and did nothing to resolve hot spot issue
      Are you delaying until the issue is too old and you will ask me to get lost then..?

        I have been calling customer care since 1 month about the network issue in my area in jogeshwari east near railway station ismail yusuf college boys hostel. The response is pathetic. My whole family use airtel but the response that i have been given last one month is forcing me to go to vodafone or jio. Really company is on the verge of closure i guess. Everytime telling the same story and closing down the complaint ticket by themselves without even knowing whether they are resolved or not.in name of transferring ur call to seniors they will have u waiting like a # and den cut the call. Giving same answers like bots everytime u call them and no response. I have myself called 10 times last 2 months and response is same that we cant tell u the exact tim but we are working on tower. I am like are you mad since 2 months u r giving the same reason. Pathetic airtel i will recommend every1 to not to use airtel and myself will file the complaint in consumer forum after waiting for two months. Will port out all my connection.

          The internet is not working at our residence premise (Number[protected] for over 3 months now. The first complain given was on 3rd of november and the issue is not solved yet.
          They make false commitments of solving the issue within 24 hours every time we call them, which is still not solved yet. Also, their technicians do not visit the premise even when promised that their technician will be visiting. It has happened 6-7 times that their technicians have not visited after making a commitment.
          We would have nearly called them 20-30 times to escalate the issue and solve it. But, they do not take any action towards the same.
          Also, they sometimes blame it on the customer that there is an internal wiring issue and sometimes on themselves that there is a problem with their wires. It's nearly been 3months since the internet is not working and still they are not doing anything to solve the issue.

              From 30-40 days i am hardly able to make any calls. Every time i try calling, i am hearing a lady saying all lines are busy in all languages. I try calling at least 7-8 times and if i am lucky then my call will get connected. On a daily basis, i am spending at least 30 mins trying connecting itself.
              From 4 days i stopped using normal calls and was only using whatsapp calls. Thanks to whatsapp,

              My connection is from mumbai area. This is happening in all the areas, i tried in other states also but the same situation.

              This is so frustrating! This is very bad customer experience by airtel

              I have been using airtel for 7 years now. Now i am planning to port because i am seriously disappointed by them.

                Unauthorized deductions have been made towards my mobile no xxxxxx3420 despite despite my scheme of free calls my balance has been reduced from 59.20 to 42.30
                Similarly rs 89.17 has been reduced to about 17.21 paise despite no calls been made in phone no xxxxxx6724 in the name of my wife.

                Air-tel is synonymous with cheating when i opted and charged my phone no xxxxxxx420 with plan of rs399/-on 13/8/17 my data plans were not activated even for one month despite payment made by me around 13th aug 2017 and various lame excuses were made and finally i was able to get data activated only in september 2017 and period
                Of no service was not extended to my recharge deadline. And deducting money for every call i make from my phone despite being enrolled in scheme for free calls.

                Despite my lodging complaints and entitled to free calls they are going on deducting money from my account and deducting money for calls made at even toll freenumbers

                      We have ported out from airtel to vodafone on 17.10.2017 and there was an excess payment refundable to us for the following numbers

                      Mobile number [protected] for refund of rs.7022.76
                      Mobile number [protected] for refund of rs.3199.88
                      Mobile number [protected] for refund of rs.2462.97

                      We have made repeated reminders through mail as well as 121 call but inspite of about 3 months over we have neither received any cheque nor neft payment in our account. We have repeatedly submitted the bank details/ cheque copy but we are not getting any response from airtel.

                      RECEIVED A CALL FROM [protected] AT 11:26AM. THE EXECUTIVE WAS TELLING THAT THE AMOUNT CANNOT BE REFUNDED THROUGH NEFT OR CHEQUE. THEY CAN ONLY REFUND THROUGH DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD. WE INFORMED THAT THE NUMBERS WERE REGISTERED IN COMPANY NAME RISHABH GOLD JEWELS INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED AND WE WILL BE HAPPY IF YOU REFUND THE SAME BY CHEQUE BUT THEY SIMPLY DISCONNECTED THE CALL STATING THAT ONLY CARD PAYMENT IS POSSIBLE. THIS IS JUST HOPELESS AND USELESS AND MAKING EXCUSES FOR NOT REFUNDING.

                        Hi!
                        This is arun ([protected]).. I’m using airtel for past few years. I was happy with your service. But for the past few days i aint happy, because one of my colleague is tracking my call log through someone they know from airtel. He is also recording my calls in recent days. This affects my personal life badly. Being your customer i would like to have some privacy. I hope you assure me that. Kindly raise a complaint and do the needful asap.

                          I have communicated to airtel via email, twitter, facebook etc but they are not trying to fix the issue. Looks like they don't care about their customer.

                            Dear sir/madam,

                            I am writing this post requesting to you please reset mpin and send me, as my airtel payment account has been blocked. I even don't remember the setting up the mpin. I even tried calling up customer care (400) but even then i had to enter mpin again which could not resolve the problem and it was an automated call which was useless.

                            I have sent a mail at [protected]@airtelbank.com 8 days before posting it here but there is no damn response yet. This is such an irresponsible behaviour towards your customer.
                            For any clarification or further details to follow up the issue, get back to me on this number-[protected].
                            I hope at least you to get back to me as soon as possible and resolve this issue.

                            Thank you,

                            Jitendra,

                                        Hi,

                                        I recently purchased an airtel connection - postpaid service 399/month (Infinity pack) mid november 2017. After the first month (November 2017) i paid the bill and activated isd services to australia and the airtel representative told me the charges are rs.12/minute. I made a call to an australian number on 13th dec and was on hold for 12 minutes after which i dropped the call. After that airtel disconnected my outgoing service for 15 days and constantly called and harassed me to pay a bill of rs.2364. When i asked why they said "you have to pay it", they could not give me a bill as they said the system will generate the bill only on 2nd january but they will terminate my services right away starting 14th december. The isd service was active only for 3 days or so from memory.

                                        Today, on the airtel app i see the total bill is rs.3258. The bill summary only shows an amount of rs.392.36. I am not sure why airtel is charging me the above amount? When i ask customer care for call details and why the above price they have no information on that. They keep repeating that i have to pay it. I feel mentally harassed by airtel for no real reason and inadequacy from the side of airtel to provide correct information.

                                        Can someone please help me out on this? Why would a 12 minute call to australia cost rs.3258? Did the airtel representative provide false information that it is rs.12 per minute?

                                        Request you to help me out with this as i am very disappointed with airtel, their customer service and unacceptable charges.

                                        Thanks,
                                        Rithika

                                        Airtel has barred this service without intimation. When Airtel asks a client to pay Rs.3258, as a client I am entitled to know the reason behind the amount quoted. If the bill shows 15 minutes of call when only 12minutes of call was made and the tariff on the bill is not printed and none of the Airtel customer service representatives are able to clarify the cost per minute of call to Australia then on what basis can Airtel expect a client to pay some random amount ?
