    My porting request was taken on 1/11/17 and i was assured by airtel person that i will get the service within 7working days but till now my connection not resumed. I have followed up with airtel person for the same. When i told them if i don't get the service then i will move to other service provider, for my surprise your company guy asked me why i am so eager for airtel service then. This kind of service is simply unprofessional and not acceptable. I never knew airtel will give such pathetic service. Please address my issue and groom your employees so that they can provide better service to the customer.

      Sir,
      I have ported my reliance gsm number to airtel postaid plan. As stated, i was asked to dial 59059 to activate and for verification after inserting the sim to the handset. But when i am dialing 59059 it is not verifying my details, rather offering me few offers regarding ringtones and other waste stuffs for which i am not at all interested.

      Now i am unable to receive any incoming calls on my number. Kindly look into the matter and treat it as urgent as i am about to receive many urgent calls on my number. My ported number is [protected].

      My alternate number - [protected]

          Recently i made recharge of 399/-, unlimited calls and 1gb/per day for 70 days. Unfortunately after one day of recharge, net is very slow during day time. Speed is not going beyond 2kbps. Also outgoing calls are not going if i keep network in 4g mode.
          Please let me know whether you will be able to resolve or not.
          I can port to other network thinking 399 rupees given to some beggar.

            I recently shifted from bsnl to airtel via mobile number portability. I had visited an authorised retailer on nov 6th, 2017 to submit my aadhar details and give an mnp request. He was using the official airtel retailer app. He took my fingerprints and submitted my aadhar details, along with the phone number and upc code. Everything went by smoothly. The app also had an option of first recharge after sim was activated. He asked me if i wanted to give a first recharge amount. I gave him rs. 448 and he put in the details after which the app accepted it and gave him a confirmation that first recharge will be done.

            Now, today (Nov 15th, 2017) my sim was ported successfully and sim was activated, but the recharge amount was not applied. Customer care executive tells that recharge had to be done after activation. But the official app couldn't be wrong. Retailer says that the amount has already been sent to airtel.

            I request airtel to please recharge my number with rs. 448.

                    My mobile number [protected] has been ported-in to Airtel by[protected]:30.

                    But I am not able to recharge in the above number. So many times I have tried, but problem has not been solved till date. Airtel personnel had told that the matter will be solved within 13Nov 2017. Even after their commitment, the matter has not been resolved till date.

                    I would request to look into the matter and solve the case urgently.

                      Dear sir/ madam,
                      I requested several times to migrate my airtel number from postpaid to prepaid mode of payment. I submitted all my necessary documents on 31st october and since then i've been waiting for the effect. But failed. Can i further request you to have the effect at an earliest? Otherwise i'll change the network by portability. Please do needful.

                      Hi Team,
                      I have recently recharged my phone with new scheme of Airtel 399 pack which offers free calls. But for some reason, they keep deducting my balance despite the special recharge. Please fix it and reimburse the amount that has been cut from my account in a completely unjustified way

                        I'm adding the same email, which was sent to airtel..

                        Dear airtel,

                        I'm writing this to know & understand why my claim request was rejected, since as per your policy the damage will be covered after 15 days of subscription.
                        However, this unfortunate incident occurred only after 20 odd days.

                        If you can't give me an appropriate solution/answer for this, i would request you to waive-off the "airtel secure" charges in the next bill which i've already paid & also unsubscribe the offer.

                        Request you not to fool your customers.

                        If i don't get a response from you, i can assure you that i'll switch to some other network.

                        Regards,

                          Hi,

                          Its really sad to hear that airtel is providing very very bad service in the secure claim department. I raised a request through airtel secure for my phones earpiece not working properly.
                          They asked me for the documents. No one came and inspected the phone for the said problem. And then i got call saying that it is a manufacturing defect and closed the service request.
                          Now i have few logical questions for airtel:

                          1) without inspecting the phones condition, how did you guys jump to a conclusion that it is a manufacturing defect?
                          2) i am using the handset from almost 2 years, how can there be a manufacturing defect in an old handset?

                          May be you have a different understanding of this, so can you guys explain the same to me?
                          Also, after this, i have unsubscribed to airtel secure. And would never ever recommend it to anyone. I have lost trust on airtel after seeing this unprofessional behavior.

                          I didn't know airtel follows a policy of letting down their customers.

                          Hoping to hearing from you soon.

                          Airtel is one of the worst service in India, and now they've starting fooling people with Stupid plans like "Airtel secure".

                          Airtel & the insurance co. is just making money out of it.. nothing else...
                          No coverage at present location

                            Worst internet speed as well as 4g is concern. Some times the internet speed is 3 mb/s and most of the time 122b/s. Airtel if you are providing 4g so please be true to your words.in advertisements you exaggerate the things but reality is worst than i thought. I have recently bought your 4g dongle just for downloading movies and the performance of the dongle is more than worst. It's my humble request to please fix this.

                              1. On 11 nov 2017, i put in an online request on airtel website for a broad band connection at my house at the following address:-
                              Col ps sogal
                              I block, flat no 335, 3rd floor,

                              Bangalore-560043.
                              2. The cfa number is[protected], & airtel order number is 33601970.
                              3. On 12 nov 2017, one person named naushad ([protected]) of laxmi teledad reported to my house and asked me to pay online rs 500/- towards installation charges, which i promptly did by using my sbi credit card. The sum of rs 500/- was debited to my sbi credit card account under the transaction number [protected] at 1415h on sunday 12 nov 2017.
                              On 13 nov 2017, i received a call from raju ([protected]), field engineer of airtel and he stated that the broadband connection at my location was not possible due to technical reasons.
                              4. Since airtel is unable to provide broadband connection to my house, i request that rs 500/- taken as installation charges from me, should be refunded to me. Also could you let me know how do i contact airtel broadband customer care from my non-airtel mobile number?
                              Thanking you,
                              Your's faithfully

                                  I submitted my mnp in an airtel bangalore store for porting from vodafone kolkata post paid number [protected] on the oct 27th. Airtel says all documents are accepted in their system still it shows it's waiting for mnp. It's been more than two weeks now. I've also opened a ticket 81065939 with airtel mnp helpdesk. No progress so far. My vodafone balance is fully cleared still mnp isn't happening.

                                        This is a complaint against airtel india regarding excessive billing of inr 66119 on my mobile no [protected]. Airtel has accepted that it has wrongly billed but the payment got autopaid from my credit card.
                                        Airtel is misleading me for last 2 months saying that amount will get credited back or refunded to my credit card. But the amount is still not refunded. It has been escalated to appellate team and they say its the highest escalation matrix. We have still not received the amount.
                                        I have made multiple calls,, visited the airtel office and spent 100s of minutes following up with airtel. Everytime i simply get an answer that it will be refunded in next 7 working days.
                                        This is a major fraud experience with airtel. I am hereby claiming not only refund of my amount but airtel needs to compensate for all the time spent and legal action fees which will entail of this.
                                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
