My cell no is +91 [protected]
I am in botswana (Africa) wef 23rd november '17 on a personal visit
I have not asked nor authorised airtel to activate international roaming
I am shocked and surprised to receive a message yesterday the 29th that rs.99/- has been deducted towards international roaming rental from my balance
I do not want nor asked airtel for international roaming and i strongly object to your unilateral decision of collectingrent of rs.99/- without permission
Please revert and restore my balance and credit rs.99/- to my account without delay
Thanking you

        I activated the rs.175 offer from my airtel app through online payment method. But the disappointment i got from airtel is that it is still not activated even after i waited quite some time. Not even did get a message. I rather hope this problem get solved either by refunding or activating. I cannot sit idle while my money is being wasted. Mobile no.[protected].

                  I am very much dissapointed with airtel today. I was recharging for rs 448 airtel pack but mistakenly pressed 498.
                  So i ask them to refund my amount please as there were international benefits for only 1 day in rs 498.
                  I requested alot to them but they did'nt listen to me. I think i beeged like i am student i dont have much funds. Please help me it will be a problem for me. 500 is a big amount for me but they did'nt even listen to me. Today i think being a part of airtel and loving airtel is my biggest mistake in my life. I ported my no. From voda to airtel because i like the company. But after today's incident i will never ask airtel for any customer satisfaction and will never recommend anyone for airtel. Worst responsibilty towards their own customers

                    This is the complaint regarding portability request of mobile number [protected]. My mother is using this number and she is facing worst situation after she decided to switch to airtel.

                    Firstly your representative called 4 times a day to ask her to port number from tata docomo to airtel by stating that docomo is shutting down (Which is false statement). After-that when she decided to port the number then your team forced to pay bill which was yet to generate so that their processing can complete.

                    After making all the payments, the docomo services stopped yesterday and no one provided new airtel sim to her. When i called the representative who did all process, she said that the boy is not present to provide sim right now, please visit nearest airtel store.

                    After my mom reached to nearest airtel store, the lady who gave her sim was very rude. Even when i talked to her she was very rude and asking for payment of sim. Even the cost is only rs. 25 but still this is not appropriate if a person is porting into airtel and person has to pay cost fir sim.

                    Her number is still not activated and she is facing lot of difficulties in communication. It is the worst experience we are facing because of airtel. I'll make sure that i never use or suggest anyone airtel.

                    Please activate her number asap and if that's not possible by you then port it back to docomo because i am not going to pay any bill amount in coming future because of this harassment and bad behavior by your colleagues.

                    I even sent an email stating the issue to airtel but no response yet.
                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                    This service has been activated 6 times since my last recharge and it has deducted 49 rs each time. Airtel should be ashamed o[censored]sing such practices to snatch money from their customers.

                      My mobile no. is [protected], recharged online on 19.11.2017 using my indusind bank debit card, request no. [protected], amount got debited but not recharged till date
                      Bill period 8/10/17 to 7/11/17, complaint no 81353630, bill plan 299. Monthly rental till current bill was Rs. 299 it increased to Rs. 349. Though usage is same we are charged for national roaming calls and internet. Inspite of having free data we are charged for internet usage.
                      My balance was deducted by Rs 25 this morning on account of activation of hot chillies video services whereas I haven't even activated those services. Airtel itself activated the services and deducted my balance by itself. What kind of a joke is this ?

                        I did an online recharge of rs100 (Full talktime) on 15th nov using rs75 from airtel payment bank and rs 25 from my debit card, transaction id [[protected]]. The transaction showed as failed, however the said amount was deducted both from my airtel payment bank and my debit card.
                        I had multiple rounds of discussion with customer care, airtel gallery and was told it would be reversed in 5 days. It is close to 15 days and yet not refunded to my account. On visiting gallery or customer care, looks like either they don't know how their own system works or don't want to help, they keep suggesting ivr nos which doesn't proceed anywhere wasting my time and effort.

                        Need my amount refunded back to my payment sources (Airtel payment bank and debit card) asap

                        I again visited the gallery and also called the customer care which was a sheer waste of time and effort. The customer care team on multiple occasions neither knew the process and disconnected my call saying that they are forwarding to their supervisors as they were not able to resolve my issue. Need my amount refunded back to my payment sources (Airtel payment bank and debit card) asap
                        I am new airtel 4g customer and trying to activate SIM since last 24hours but I have received a common messege every time stating we are activating your services and later on activation request is not received try again.

                        Can you please tell me what the problem actually is?

                        Hoping for early response from airtel.

                        Thank you!

                          My mobile number is [protected] and relationship number is[protected]
                          I have received a bill of rs. 1042.92 for the month 26th oct - 25th nov.
                          The bill includes rs. 372.57 as roaming charges, whereas my bill plan already includes roaming outgoing free. I was also charged the same last month and i had to go through a lot of call with the customer care so that the charges were waived off.

                          This is the second month in a row where i am complaining about the same issues. Can you please take care of this on priority or i'm really thinking of changing the operator.

                                I have two questions.

                                1. Airtel tezpur branch office (Assam circle) don't take aadhar as document id proof. May i know why?

                                2. I was told that mnp takes minimum 19 days for activation wherese in airtel website its clearly reflecting maximum 7 days. May i know why they take it so long and mismatch between ads and in real?

                                Waiting in anticipation for your kind response

                                  For this month i have been charge monthly charges of 1063, can you expain what is the reason behind this without any notification, this seems to fool your customer with any intimation, i would be complaining in the consumer forum, if this monthy charge is not taken back.

                                      Hi,

                                      Firstly, i have been using airtel for the last few years, and have little trouble resolving issues, but this time the inability to resolve this matter for the last 1 month by the customer support have prompted me to address this issue on this platform.

                                      To clarify mentioning below the points & sequence of events which led to all this:

                                      1) i made a relocation request on 21st sept, and as suggested by the customer care tech support, i took the modem along with me and shifted to the new house on 26th where new installation was done, successfully.

                                      2) due to some error in your system, i did not receive any communication regarding ebill for the period 26/08/2017 to 25/09/2017 for the old number, and despite me reminding the customer care of the same, i did not get the ebill for that period.

                                      3) however, i received the ebill for the month of 26/09/2017 to 25/10/2017 on 29th for the new connection, which i paid successfully on 30th oct and that's why the amount due is 0. Reference number on the netbanking. This has already been communicated on these calls.

                                      4) on nov 2, i received the ebill for the month of 26/09/2017 to 25/10/2017 for the old number with the incorrect amount and period, adding the amount for aug and sept bills, presumably due to a functionality bug on your system.

                                      Again, for old number [protected] it should have been rs 2476 for the period 26/08/2017 to 25/09/2017, and this number should already have been deleted from my account immediately after the relocation.

                                      There have been countless calls which have resulted into nothing. People from various numbers, acting on behalf of airtel, have called to resolve the issue without having any idea on this. It will be difficult to keep responding to all these useless conversations.

                                      Now, i have invested a considerable time and effort in explaining to each and everyone of these conversations. I would again request you to take this matter to heads of every concerned departments and would urgently request a response from them. I would expect better efficiency from airtel.

                                      Thanks & regards,
                                      Anil kumar singh
