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 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...

                        When i moved in to my new building three years ago, i asked airtel to install a connection. They said they’d visit in 7 days and never did. I tried for almost three weeks. Now i got a call one week ago saying that they’re providing v fibre at very cheap rates with good fup. I told them to confirm if it was really available and they made me wait five minutes and confirmed with my building, my wing and flat number that they’d send an executive to tell us more and that the connection would be up and running in 72 hours. Today i called again and asked them for a new connection and they accepted. They had no records of my previous request and the stupid employee kept telling me about the plans for 20 minutes and at the end of the call after confirming the exact location and asking for landmarks and stuff he told me to wait while he confirmed my appointment. Two minutes later he goes “i’m sorry sir but our people have confirmed that we cannot provide you with a connection.”
                        Why are you doing this airtel? The customer care people just keep making promises and then say it’s not feasible?! Is this v fiber thing only for a select few areas for advertisement? The buildings which are barely 20 metres away have your broadband and here i have been trying for three years and yet you guys treat customers like this!
                        I will wholeheartedly recommend that people never buy your services if this is what your “all india connectivity” looks like!
                        The unholy address where your executives never come is - kanakia samarpan, off w. E highway, asha nagar, kandivali east.

                          From the last 3 years, we have been facing issue on no network when we entered our home. The address is 66, pocket-2, ground floor, jasola, new delhi-110025.

                          Your engineers visited and mentioned that there is extremely week network at jasola pocket -2 and hence in side home there will always be a problem.

                          Moreover when i again spoke at call center, i was told that the complaint is closed. If the problem is not resolved how can the complaint be closed.

                          If this is not getting correcting in next 4 days time, i will be lodging a complaint on trai and moving ahead for portability for all my family numbers mentioned above

                            My number is [protected] i have subscribed for 2499 plan and a child number is free in this plan. When i received my bill, there is a rental charged for child number too.

                            As discussed earlier with nodal officer, he clearly told me that "you will not charge a single rupee for child number".

                            I have send mail regarding this so many times but there is no resolution.

                            There was one more issue that i cant manage my child number in my airtel app.

                            Every time c. Care team said that it will resolver in 24 hrs. But problem is still pending.

                                Dear sir/madam

                                Subject: request for a ‘cell phone/mobile phone tower’ in barengaya
                                Village, belthangady taluk, d. K. District. Karnataka.

                                I myself mr. Nagaraj rao live in below stated address
                                Kattathanda house barengaya village, belthangady taluk, d. K. District.
                                Karnataka.

                                I am writing this letter behalf of my village people. Barengaya is a
                                Village in belthangady taluk of d. K. District, karnataka with an
                                Average population of about 4500 and consists 6 shops, 3 hotels, dairy
                                Cooperative society, govt primary & high school, co-operative society,
                                Cottage industry, grama panchayath and a post office. The village is
                                About 8kms away from the famous ‘sri kshetra dharmastala’ and about 3
                                Kms far from dharmasthala-kukke subrahmanya road.

                                As the village does not have a cell phone tower (Of any network
                                Provider). Since there are 4g/3g/2g towers located in neighbor
                                Villages (Air distance 2.5 kms) i. E. Nidle and kayarthadka village
                                Including telephone exchange with broadband service, we can’t either
                                Make calls nor access internet because of very poor network coverage
                                (2g only) caused by external obstructions (Trees, hills and mountains)
                                We villagers are finding it difficult to connect efficiently to the
                                Outer world in this era of information technology. Often we feel
                                Deprived of some of our basic rights because of this.in the era of 4g
                                Neither do we have adequate land phone connectivity or broadband
                                Facility, not to mention students and farmers. There are thousands of
                                Students and farmers resided in this village

                                Installing a cell phone tower could be a solution to all the above
                                Mentioned problems and would be advantageous/profitable mobile
                                Operators. Villages are many times quoted as the backbone of india.
                                “empowerment of villages is the empowerment of india” they say.

                                On behalf of all villagers i request to take action in this regard at
                                The earliest and connect barengaya village to the outer world by
                                Installing a cell phone tower in our village.
                                Thanking you

The society is situated at golf course road gurgaon and i have been calling the senior staff of airtel for activation of around 35 centrex numbers from past 5 days but getting no response. They do not bother to even pick up the call and revert back. Even the area in charge does not bother to revert back or get the complaint attended..
