Address: Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

After my request to port out from airtel to other service provider, I received a call from no [protected] from airtel on 13th Jan 2020 (06:18 PM IST). Person from other side naming himself "Tarun", talked very rudely and threatened to reject my request. In fact I have not received any message till now from airtel regarding my MNP even on 18th Jan 2020.
Kindly arrange for my MNP ASAP and please make sure rude and frustrated persons like "Tarun" are never given the task of strengthening the consumer-service provider delicate bonding.
Thank you.

      Hi,

      I have a airtel prepaid ([protected]) sim which doesn't have any signal and while i am trying to recharge getting messages as "recharge failed".

      I am in germany and cannot visit any airtel office. As brother visited the office on behalf of me and said the sim is suspended.

      Please help me in activating the sim.
      As my airtel number is not working please me know how you can approach me.

      Also when i try to raise a complaint from gmail it says gmail is not registered and doesn't take any complaint.

      Expect an immediate response.

          Respected sir i as a customer of airtel mobile. I am facing weak indoor and outdoor coverage in my home location. My airtel app shows excellent 2g4g coverage in this landmark. But i am not getting even a 2g also. Unable to make or receive calls and unable to use data services and also unable to know my account balance also due to non availability of 2g 4g signals. I am cruely cheated by airtel kerala. I had registered so many complaints regarding the same. But no airtel network team visited this location till this time. And take no responsibility for solving the issue sir. I kindly request you sir please take necessary action for solving the issue sir.
          Thanking you

            Re - [protected]

            I regret & inform, despite there is sufficient balance, i could not make any outgoing calls on
            15 & 16 of this month. Message came as "your balance is insufficient"

            Please consider, when some one wants to make urgent call and if outgoing call is not allowed
            How subscriber/consumer shall feel?

            Please resolve this issue on permanent basis.

            [2] please display previous balance & validity period as well as new balance & validity period.

            Thanking you

              I have ordered a fast tag from airtel's payments bank. I had ordered on december 11th and it was dispatched on december 18th and was supposed to be delivered within 7-8 working days from the date of dispatch. It's already been a month now and i have not yet received the fastag. Despite putting so many mails, phone calls and even visiting their office, i haven't still received it till date and they haven't been giving proper info with regard to status of the fastag.in one of the emails they had sent a tracking number but however on tracking there was no info available whatsoever. If they can't deliver it atleast they can give an option to cancel the order so that i can arrange for buying fasttag elsewhere. This is just so annoying. Worst service ever from airtel. Very disappointed.

                  Dear all,


                  With this application, i want to bring this to everyone's notice about the "worst customer experience, service and satisfaction" which bharti airtel can ever provide to their customers.

                  To start with, i am not sure how much airtel is concerned about customer experience, service and satisfaction.

                  Finally, i have pushed to an extent which is making me write this email and switching to either services. This email would not only include the service which you have provided but also the way of doing business and looking at things by such a huge organization. I have been using your services for so many years. But i guess i should look for some better alternatives, may be because of the "worst customer service" which bharti airtel has given me.

                  As everyone says, in today's world the quality of services goes equally down when the quantity of people consuming those services goes high.

                  It is so many times in a row that i have to call airtel dth customer care office repeatedly before the problem gets addressed, to add to my agony, whenever i call the customer care office, i get to know that my service request status is resolved without the issue being addressed at all. I don’t understand as to how you can consider an issue to be resolved when the person who is supposed to be fixing it does not even do anything.

                  1. Inastalled an extream dth box as on 14th nov 2019. With assured guaranteed for 1 months free service.

                  2. My case numbers are as follows:97660572, 97532113, and 99707273.

                  3. Service discontinued stated that the service is only for 7 days and hence the engineer informed wrongly.

                  4. Finally on prorate basis in december 2019 got 537/- as credit in the account and need to fight almost 15 days for the same.

                  5. My account information’s were not updated and so the movies section was not active hence fight that for another 10 more days consecutively.

                  6. Now today 14th jan 2020 the cable tv had gone giving error code with no signal, engineer visited after a long fight with customer care / agra local service centre guysmr. Yogendra phone number: [protected] and amit tsm phone number: [protected] (Retaliating and shouting over the phone call and insulting customer) said the visit tat is till 10.00am of 15th jan 2020, need to be patient, i said that it’s a cable tv not a broadband service shall one has to wait for approximately a day that how would it work and the conversation ended heatedly. Finally by 5:30 p. M engineer abhishek phone number: [protected]visited stating that the antenna had wrongly placed and hence need 300/- to install it on a neighbours house (Which is next to impossible).

                  7. What to do now as it was a mess sice day one and the installation engineer itself told in day one that there could be a signal problem but will try if go no worries else will check. It worked but temporarily.

                  8. Currently as on 14th jan 2020 the engineer visited named abhishek stated that the one who has installed had done his work temporary.

                  9. Need a refund for 2250+75+2200=4525/-

                  My airtel fixed line no.[protected] has a attached offered airtel dth exstream box with service number[protected] is not working since 14th january 2020 for which i filed a service request with airtel customer care office, ticket number 20095689, which was supposed to be resolved by 10:00 am on 15th january 2020. However, the problem was not fixed, it is as follows now today 14th jan 2020 the cable tv had gone giving error code with no signal, engineer visited after a long fight with customer care / agra local servicecenter guysmr. Yogendra phone number: [protected] and amit tsm phone number: [protected] (Retaliating and shouting over the phone call and insulting customer) said the visit tat is till 10.00 am of 15th jan 2020, need to be patient, i said that it’s a cable tv not a broadband service shall one has to wait for approximately a day that how would it work and the conversation ended heatedly. Finally by 5:30 p. M engineerabhishek phone number: [protected]visited stating that the antenna had wrongly placed and hence need 300/- to install it on aneighbors house (Which is next to impossible).

                  What to do now as it was a mess since day one and the installation engineer itself told in day one that there could be a signal problem but will try if go no worries else will check. It worked but temporarily.

                  Currently as on 14th jan 2020 the engineer visited named abhishek stated that the one who has installed had done his work temporary.

                  But i guess bharti airtel does not believe is meeting their commitments and the problem was not fixed on the next day as well.

                  No wonders, bharti airtel exceeded my expectation and came out to be the winner in providing worst customer service experience.

                  Now i have full confidence in airtel’s moto, which is “let the customer suffer for the mistake that they made by subscribing to airtel services.”

                  I tried calling the nodal officer but to no help, others would also be facing the same problem and are being harrased by your customer care office. I guess this is the way you have decided to do business (Correct me if i am wrong).

                  I have been with airtel for more than so many years now, not because i did not like any other brand but because i never expected this kind of pathetic service by this big company. I think now the time has come where myself, including at least hundreds of people need to change their mind because of the services which myself and they have been getting over a period of time. There have been many instances where i did not get service that should be provided to a customer and now when i am done dealing with you people would want you to please discontinue my airtel fixed line connection remove me from your systems because your system, policies, procedures, services, way of doing business and looking at things is getting worst day by day.

                  I know that loss of a hundred customers would not make any difference to your sales and marketing team because companies here do not understand the two most important words to run the business, providing exceptional "customer service" and i would certainly try to see if other leading companies do or do not understand it.

                  With this, i pen down and say my final bye to bharti airtel!!! I wish a great future for your company and if given a chance if airtel succeed in future, would for sure want to learn the ways of running a business without satisfying their customers!!

                        Address: Sector 137, Airtel store, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, 201306

                        I am sending regular mails to airtel store noida located in sector 137 to get some information, but they are not responding at all and also their contact number is also switched off. This is frustrating and unprofessional.
                        I am sending mail from [protected]@gmail.com

                        Also sent regular follow ups, but not getting any response.

                        I am sending these mails on coco. [protected]@airtel.com.

                        When i visited the store, they assured me that they will reply on mail but this is of no use. Also their manager's official contact number is switched off.

                          Address: 85, Vijay Nagar Colony, 127021

                          Dear Sir,

                          I wish to state that i am a consumer of Air Tel since many years and my mobile number is [protected].

                          In this regard please note that my plan was Rs. 125/- per month and in the month of December, 2019 they have change the same to Rs. 199/- per month plan with 10 GB data per month, which i agreed.

                          My monthly billing cycle starts from 08th of the month.

                          In the month of December, 2019 they have provided me the 10 GB data but in the month of January, 2020 they have not provided me the same and hence i have made many complaints since 11th Jan., 2020 and they given me the assurances not the bill plan benefits and i received complaint references as per details given under: -

                          Sr. No. Date Complaint Number

                          1. 11/01/[protected]
                          2. 11/01/[protected]
                          3. 13/01/[protected]
                          4. 13/01/[protected]
                          5. 14/01/[protected]
                          6. 15/01/[protected]

                          They are only giving assurances not providing the data in question nor replying to my satisfaction.

                          This may please also be noted that after lapse of the substantial period of the month and they provide me the 10 GB data what will be use of that for me.

                          You are requested to please let me know the solution or procedure for further complaint.

                          Regards

                            While install airtel dth, call center people said all telugu channels will come one month next month onwards need to recharge but after installation only free channels came. We call and asked callcenter, they replied only news channels will come. This is fraud of airtel dth service. Please check and resolve this issue asap and do the needful.

                                  This has reference to broadband connection on 9th jan 2020 for my residence and paid for full year.
                                  1. Airtel representative also installed fixed landline as it was bundled and free of charge
                                  2. Told the person that i do need the fixed line as already have 2 mobile connection and no need for additional fixed line
                                  3. Started getting sms and mails to pay rs352.82 for fixed line even though i have not opted for it and now being threatened with late fee if not paid by due date.

                                  This is unethical way of doing business and left bad taste on switching to airtel service.

                                  Another issue is, none of the sms or email provides the account details thus unable to even speak to anyone in customer support as it's required to key in account details.

                                  Tried calling the representatives who had visited to collect payment and install the line but even they are not ready to share the account details which is very unprofessional way of treating customer.

                                  This is the first time i opted for airtel service and have extremely bad experience with weeks

                                  Regards.

                                      I have been using a tata docomo no. From 2011 and with little or no issues with either network or the service provider until the last yeae when airtel took over the tata docomo service and started deactivating the existing customers, i was not even aware that my no. Got deactivated and when i came to know about the same i visited the airtel store requested them to give me the same number either with a new connection or the old.. They refused.. Deactivating the number without intimation wud be bearing u no cost but a huge loss to the customers as the phone numbers these days are being used/connected to several other documents and forums.

                                      Regards,
                                      Shampy jain
