Unable to make outgoing calls and send messages.

I have been suffering this problem for almost a week now. I am unable to make any calls to any of the numbers or send text messages to my family staying in a different city. I am a student studying in Manipal and communication with my friends and family is being hampered and no assistance is being given to me. I want this problem to be fixed as soon as possible otherwise I would have to send an email to the higher authorities regarding the same. I request you to look into the Matter seriously. And in case you suggest me to refill my balance, I have adequate amount of balance in my account. My number is 9999115577

Deactivated sim

My Airtel number 00919845691914 has been de activated. I was on my visit to Dubai and it's been just three months and they have deactivated it.i tried to activate it giving my papers again and 500rs to Airtel Karkala office. They told me it will be activated in a week. After a week when we enquire on the activation they return the money and say it's not possible.i mean what is this Airtel being a reputed one I din expect this.They should understand how one person is emotionally attached to ones number.atleast intimate before you disconnect. God won't forgive u guys. You also will realize one or the other way losing something precious how it feels.I know nothing is permanent in this world. I am trying to get over my number. Miss you my number which I once use to proudly tell when someone needed it 9845691914 Rip 😒😭

4g is worseI than all. donot buy airtel 4g

Sir,
I had taken a Airtel 4g connection 8600947653 for my home use. It worked for 4 days then stopped completely. I complained to their customer care. Airtel customer care should be renamed AIRTEL customer DOESN'T CARE. All they do is make you hold the lines and after a longtime will again give you the same number you called on to make a complaint. Anyway after many calls their technician came. They said they cant do anything as there is no network in the area. I want my money refunded as it is their fault.
Please note NEVER BUY AIRTEL. Worst possible customer care.

Excessive billing than the credit limit of Rs.10100/- set by Airtel in corporate account no. 108-100264611

I am surprised to receive excessive amount bill for Rs. 27243.24 for captioned corporate connection of Airtel. In this matter following points need consideration:

1. I am using Airtel Corporate post paid connection for the past over 7 years. Although our credit limit was set at Rs.10100/- by your Company our monthly bill amount never exceeded Rs.2000/-. Per month.
2. I went abroad for 6 days i.e. from 06.02.2015 to 11.02.2015. To curtail my overseas mobile bill to minimum amount, I took your Data plan 999 and Voice plan 999 on one connection i.e. 9729299773. A sum of Rs.2000/- was deposited in advance, as advised by their Ambala Cantt dealer/associate.
3. To my shock and dismay, I received a huge bill of Rs.27243.24. Out of this total amount Rs. 26945.76 pertained to mobile no. 9729299773 which was activated on International roaming.
4. When I had taken your Voice plan 999 and Data plan 999 in advance why was I not informed by Airtel when the data plan exceeded the limit of Rs.999/-
5. Furthermore, when my credit limit has been set at Rs. 10100/- by your Company then why I was not informed when the limit exceeded? Why an alarm was not raised? There is some logic behind setting a credit limit by the Company. This is system failure and you have sent the huge bill to me for payment. Till date no communication has been received from your Company about exceeding the credit limit.When credit limit of our corporate connection is set at Rs.10100/- by your Company then how can they raise excess bill without prior intimation to me when our limit exceeded those limits?
6. Does Airtel does not holds no responsibility to inform the customer that his/her credit limit has exceeded? Otherwise Airtel is very particular on sending SMS on petty matters then how could an important matter of informing the credit limit not done.

PAYMENT OF BILL

i am using airtel landline with broad band connection with connection no. 04443564887 at chennai.
I made payment of last months usage bill through a post dated cheque drawn on state bank of india chinmayanagar and dropped at the dropbox at customer relationship centre, kodambakkam as early in the first week of november. But the actual last date is
14th november.

On 14th i received a message in my registed mobile that my cheque has been returnd by my banker for the reason that it is postdated cheque. Immediately on 15th fearing disconnection of the line, i remitted in cash the bill at a customer relationship centre gandhi road valasaravakkam .

Then i contacted the airtel through 121 and talked to one saravanan, supervisor. and asked him whether the payment made by me through cheque has been realised and he said in affirmative . I questioned him why a message as mentioned abve has been sent to me. he replied that it is a technical error. I further requested him whether he can sent his reply that it is a technical error as a message to my registered mobile no. He refused and said no provision for that.

IS IT NOT INSUFFICIENCY IN SERVICE.?

REQUST to take action against airtel for such lapses in customer service and give suitable instruction to set right their programme so that such mistake not occur in future if the statement of mr. saravanan supervisor is true.

POST PAID MOBILE BILL

Below are the complaints that i had file and sent to airtel customer care and there was no respond and no help yet. my phone remains dead since 2 days. i missed all important calls and airtel is responsible for all of my missed schedules. its absolutlly cheating and discusting.ridiculous to treat the customer who has been with airtel since 4.5 Years now. PLEASE HELP !!!

HI

My name is Syed Saifulla. I’m writing this mail being extreme disappointed about the airtel services on day to day bases. You have barred my outgoing & incoming facility due to non payment without knowing the reason why the bill is not made yet. Its simply because I’m waiting for valid bill clarification to be done by you guys as informed towards my internet services. I have had people calling from airtel fixing my issues also I had sent a port request and I had explained clearly as why the bill is not paid yet because of aitrtel commitments and I was told to wait until they reverse charges & wave off the internet charges which is charged without my acknowledgement and providing the wrong information about the internet plan . I was told clearly the clarification will be given soon and charges for internet would be reversed asap after which I can make the payment however now all of sudden since morning MY PHONE IS ABSOLUTE DEAD with no incoming & outgoing calls. I cant call customer care neither any one else. I want my outgoing & incoming facility released immediately at the earliest as I have some very important calls coming in. and I want some body higher to call me on my issues to have it fix without giving me any excuses. Please release my services now Im expecting important client calls.


hi Nodal team,

I’m not sure whether you have check my records for calls that’s been made for claiming the charges to be unknown, unaware and unexplained. In simple words let me explain you that I’m a first time internet user on a android phone. I called airtel to get internet activated and I was offered a plan and was explained clearly that I would be suitable for a 99 monthly plan with 1 gb data & browsing free however later I was realized by your team that its not 1gb its 300mb after which its starts up the regular charges. I was provided complete wrong information about the plan, I had even call in a first month shockingly confirming why my airtel bill is more and I was told the there are 400 to 600 charges towards internet do you think even beside knowing it gets charged after 300mb I would continue to use it. “ NEVER” I’m a very common and a regular user who cant afford high bills Let me be very clear & honest, I have been with airtel for so long and now I feel that I’ve been cheated and advised to just pay the bill, all I’m trying to explain from beginning that I was given wrong information about the plan and I was under the impression that its up to 1gb and charges are going up big-time just because of incorrect information. I have believed that the superiors will understand the situation and help but looks like I have been given wrong excuses and just suggest to pay bills. In other words whatever you charge, I cant claim if charges are invalid or unaware with wrong info but just need to pay. I will never do that I’m extreme serious if my issue is not taken care. I would refer this case to consumer court and have it disputed. This is absolutely ridiculous to be cheated with wrong info and after which when demand for help, you made the phone all dead wherein I cant call anyone for help. I immediately need my services resumed I have extreme important calls coming in and I’m missing all of those request you to not to give me tough time until this is clearly been looked and resolved. I’m not a customer to not make payments, all I need and want is to take care of internet charges which was not aware and been charged without my knowledge and therefore you will have the bill paid in immediate. Please help else I would have to cancel services and claim this for next level.

Airtel Billing Problem: For BB Advance Rental 6999

I have been using Airtel postpaid connection with BlackBerry services from past 1 year. Below is my connection info –

Mr Soumya Prakash Mishra
Account Number: 1026877537
Cell Number - 814-657-5972

Few days ago I was called by an Airtel representative on my number and offered to subscribe to Blackberry Advance Rental 6999/- + Taxes plan in my Airtel Cell No 8146575972. I would like to highlight the below –

1. I was not told that the onetime payment to be made for this plan is Rs 6999. Rather I was told it to be something like Rs 400. I was clearly provided wrong information the first time. (Same can be traced from all my past call records with Airtel.)
2. Assuming the charge was around Rs 400 I agreed to take up the plan.
3. Later on discussing the same with my colleges I understood that the Onetime fee to be paid was Rs6000!

I got a confirmation call from Airtel asking if I wanted to subscribe to Blackberry Advance Rental 6999/- + Taxes plan in my Airtel Cell No 8146575972

1. I clearly asked them not to activate any such plans on my account. Same can be traced from all my past call records with Airtel.

On the Bill Dated 15/03/2013/ Bill Number: 999656723, I see I am charged Rs 6999.00 despite my request not to activate this service. I called up Airtel Customer Care and briefed them about my issue. The Customer Care personnels said, this change done cannot be reverted. I will have to pay the amount of Rs 6000. On asking what if I wanted to close my connection, they said in that case I will have to shell out Rs 6999 and then be able to close the connection! This is horrible and a mental harassment for me. How do I pay for something I did not ask for. How can I be forced to pay for something that I haven’t used yet.

4. Airtel Call Reference Number – 1225310337

I am using Airtel Broadband service for more than a year now (Acct Number 16290058) and have been paying Rs 1400 plus each month without fail. All I want to ask is, Is this the way how a customer is treated? I request Airtel to look into this issue ASAP ans revert back the amount from my bill. In case this cannot be done, I would like to submit all my Airtel connections(Internet/Postpaid/BB) and pay off any outstanding bills till date for services I have used. I will no way be able to pay the OneTime fee you guys have falsely charged!
