      Dear sir my airtel payment bank id is [protected]. Please delete my airtel money and airtel payment bank accounts, and deactivate all my accounts.
      I have not approached you for opening any account in my name. I would like to know airtel has opened an account without my permission.

        Hi,

        This is in regard of my bill in which you have charged me for sending 8 international sms which i have never sent.
        I called at the customer care and the executive was so rude and she could not explain why you have charged. She said that this will happen every time you will use facetime which cannot be disabled if a person is using iphone.
        I have been using vodafone since last 10years and iphone from past 2 years and this has never ever happened. First bill with airtel after porting and i got extra charges with my bill.

          Hello,

          I submitted my porting request on 27th nov 2017 from vodafone to airtel. It has been over 7 working days and vodafone has rightly switch off their services. Airtel has not yet activated my number in spite of the committed 7 days. Meenu arora from the escalations team has been very rude and denied filing an official complain in this regard. My number is dead and has severely impacted my business. Regret moving to airtel.

              Hi all,
              From last 1.6 years, i have raised network compliant and still airtel team is keeping my complaint on hold.
              Their network engineers visits the home and recorded that no network coverage exist but still they are least bother about their customer..
              Also, in the end they will send one good mail on a happy note that sir your complaint is in progress and ticket will be closed from that mail as complaint will be catered in future may be in 2099.
              This is india's one of the main fastest network with 4g speed guarantee athough you can't use it as there are no signals but its fastest one.

                Dear ravi
                It is now very clear hat i was over charged wrongly by you for last so many months
                My present balance as per your sms to me is 6851.18.
                How rs 6450.68 became 6851.18 is beyond my comprehension?
                Subscription charges have wronly been deducted by you for the third connection which was handed over by me on 11 jun 2017 and i was continuously fleeced by your charging agencies till i raised the issue and your rep stated that i have three connections as per your records
                By looking at your attitude i feel like discontinuing my both connections also
                Pl tell me if i have one 99 plan and one additional 270/pm plan would you agree or not sine one base plan and one 270 per month should be alright with you
                Why did you make (99+270+270) into (270+270) rather than (90+270) plan?
                My mistake was that i paid you money in advance so that you kept deducting amount at your will and suddenly credited 561 rupees on 1 dec after i raised the issue with you.
                Please be gracious enough to accept your mistakes and your typical indian attitude towards sincere customers like me
                Please make my plan to (90+270) rather than charging 18 rupees a day for two connections as you would do for a customer having 90+270 plan

                  Dear all,

                  I have bought corporate plans from airtel of rs. 99 but i wanted to change one number out of all to the plan of rs. 499.00 but you made a mistake and changed plan for all number from 99 to 499 and we were follwoign up with airtel on mail and through customer care but no solution is given and they also didnt send the invoice to us for past 2 months.

                  Now they send the invoice for 2 month and asking us to pay the bill as per 499 plan and also our number have been deactivated.

                  We are having problem because of this and we will not pay this amount as we have specifically mentioned on the mail that we only want to change plan for 1 number/

                  Kindly look in this matter as this is not airtel standards.

                      Dear sir,

                      I would like to complain about the lack of response or poor customer service provided by airtel. I've been using airtel postpaid connection corporate plan, number [protected]. I'm having serious issues with airtel network in my apartment which has 6 towers and nearly 3000 residents living in cochin, kerala. The call gets disconnected in between or i'm unable to make calls, also the mobile data in 4g and 3g is extremely slow. All of the people living in this apartment has the same issue with airtel, network is very poor here and most of them has already ported to vodafone or idea as they have already complained to airtel several times and no action was taken to resolve the complaints.

                      It's been 1 year since i'm submitting the same complaint to airtel and 3 site engineers has visited the location during this time. All 3 engineers who visited confirmed that there is network issue and they have submitted the data and report they collected from the location to airtel network team. All my complaints was closed with a response that airtel acknowledges the network issue and a tower maintenance is in planning and issue will be resolved in 90 days. I've tried to port several times in between and airtel customer care contacted me and promised that they will fix the issue in a week which never happened or no one from the escalation team bothered to call me back again.

                      Below are some of the complaints i've raised with date and reference numbers for the same issue,
                      1, 31 march 2017 - reference no: 75171890
                      2, 30 june 2017 - reference no: 77360467
                      3, 17 july 2017 - reference no: 77823029
                      4, 27 october 2017 - reference no: 80600560

                      It's been more than 1 year since i'm raising the same complaint and they have not bothered to fix it yet. Airtel customer service is absolutely pathetic and their escalation team is worse. They only provide false promises and fake commitments. This is my last try as i'm fed up of complaining for the same issue. Request your help in this matter. Please let me know where else can i complain other than the useless customer service of airtel.

                      Thanks,
                      Varun

                        My name is k. S. Chidambaranathan and i am an old man of 77 years. Suddenly airtel deducted rs. 99/- from my account saying that it is for superstore service. On enquiry with them they have told me that i have activated it through net. I am not using smartphone with net connection and i wonder how could i activate it through my mobile net. I also don't understand what nonsense the airtel's superstore service. It is only a airtel's superfraud service. They refuse to refund the amount to me which was taken from me by some tricky and fraudulent way. They are stealing their customers. I am going to change from airtel to some other genuine providers.
                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                        Airtel deducted rs. 99/- from my account saying that it is for superstore service. I never activated this. I have requested to deactivate this service. But so far nothing has happened and neither was my money refunded.
                        I saw in the web forums that this is going on for the last 2 years!!! Thousands o[censored]sers have complained about this and yet no concrete action has been taken. How can Airtel charge me Rs 99 without my permission ?
                        This is very unethical and needs to be fixed. I am a Airtel user ever since they started business. I am very unhappy with Airtel and their customer support.

                              Last week, i got call from airtel that there is offer on my setup box. The offer was if i changed it to hd, i would get two months subscriptions at rs.600. After two days i called the customer care and confirmed the offer again that the two months subscriptions are free. After the engineer came and changed the box, the channels didn't start. The engineer called me after half an hour that i have to recharge base package separately and two months subscription is just for hd. It's not free for complete package. Before the change, nobody mentioned it or made it clear to us while we repetitively asked whether two months subscriptions are free. When we called the customer care, we were told to recharge base package. After complaining, they even restarted channels for a day. Next morning, we found that the channels turned off and we have to recharge. When we called the customer care, no action are taken. They told us to recharge again.

                              I was to lodge a complain for misinformation, lying by omitting, and unethical behavior.

                                I ported my docomo number to airtel on the 24th of november and after inserting the new sim on 29th i didnt receive any signals till today 8:47am 5th december.
                                This is not a joke, the airtel customer care people and supervisors have continuosly given me fake hopes that i'll be getting it in a day or two or 4 hours
                                Since 6 days im not in contact with anyone.
                                Hopeless involvement from the customer care's end.
                                Im sick and tired of calling the customer care almost on a daily basis.
                                In todays world how important is it to get otp's for online transactions i'm unable to do any of it, i'm so helpless about it i personally went to the airtel store also they also didnt respond well.

                                  I got a message from airtel saying thanks for subscribing to hot chillies service for which i did not subscribe. My balance got deducted for rs 50.
                                  This is not fair. Airtel should not deduct balance without user consent. All the services should be manageable through the airtel portal and each and every deduction should be traceable. This will severely damage airtel's reputation. Kindly do not do such things in future...
