This is with reference to the airtel landline connection no.[protected] and broadband connection with the same number. I informed airtel that i am shifting my house and they need to setup the connection at the new house which is around 0.75 km from the existing house on 24th oct 2017. Then after shifting to the new house, i have been calling them and they say different stories each time: that their technician will fix the line; that it is not possible to give new connection and stay in the old house itself (Very pathetic that they tell to stay in the old house itself for broadband connection), that they have to get permission to get new ports and will fix it within 3 days, etc etc... Many many stories. They when i started calling continuously they escalated the call to the escalation department stating that the line will be fixed 100% sure by 6th nov 2017 and then i called them 6th evening and they said that i will get a call back by same day before 7.30 pm regarding the status. Then again i called today 7th nov 10 am and they said that i will get a call back by 11.30 am today definitely and as usual its a fake promise and i have not received a call back. Its been days i have been calling them to know the exact picture of the complaint and nobody bothers to give me a proper explanation. I have been on call, on hold for more than 20 mins daily which is really embarassing and disturbing. Why cant they call up and let me know the status. Act broadband follows up daily to install new connection from 5rd nov 17, but i am just waiting for a proper reply from airtel. They say they will fix up or call back and they are just dragging the issue. I use airtel landline, broadband, digital tv and postpaid mobile connection from airtel. Cant they do some justice seeing how many times i have called and how many times they have made false promise of call back. They why do they have to have the customer care cell at all if they dont care about customer issues.

          4 g network is the worst network and you people call your self fastest network in India. With whose permission you people transferred my lpg subsidy amount to your airtel bank account! Who gave you permission in first place to open an account without my permission.
          Serious action will be taken and I will file a case.

            Dear officer,

            If you are not the right contact please provide me the contact detail of senior manager of customer services.

            I have been associated with airtel since 2005 and so far never had any issues.in the last one month i have undergone lot of pain in getting the right support in having my network issue/ data speed issue fixed at my home location. Everybody who i spoke to starting from customer care, nodal team and airtel network team only gave false assurance and fooled me around. I had raised at least 4 service requests and since 22 oct and even today the issues is not resolved.

            To disgust me further, the engineer who visited the site and found the lack of network coverage and confirmed the same to me provides a completely opposite report to his internal teams that there is no issue and today the team calls me saying they found no issue.

            Now, i need to understand what is airtel trying to achieve by fooling around its customers who are already paying for teh services and being deprived of it and on top of it airtel closing issues saying there is none.

            Airtel nodal team updated they are the last level of escalation and never updated me the status through a call back even once though every time there was a false assurance.

            I look forward to you to have my issue resolved at the earliest.

            Regards
            Manoj

                  I Had requested for porting from Vodafone to Airtel thinking that I would get better services. However, My official number is lying inactive from Airtel's side as vodafone has already done the necessary actions from their end. Kindly restore my services and activate my airtel sim as soon as possible. Its urgent ! Porting request VK447713.

                    When tomorrow I visited our local Airtel Service centre beside NH 34, Malda, opposite of Meghdut Lodge for linking [protected] with aadhar, they asked money for serving me. This is an offence according to Central govt. and Supreme Court. Aadhar linking should be free of cost. But they compelled the customers to pay them for various free services.

                        Dear service team,

                        Hi, this is mr. Venkatchalam from trichy having air tel prepaid connection no. 0091-[[protected]]. I lost my mobile yesterday night, hence, i want to request the airtel team to please block this sim card asap.

                        Please guide me through the process of issuing a duplicate prepaid sim card (If possible, with the balance amount from my previous sim). I expect a quick solution to my problem with further knowledge of the procedure.

                        Regards
                        Venkatchalam

                              It's extremely urgent for me right now. I have activated rs 3999 irs plan. I couldn't make even a single call. I called customer service they said i have the package active but i have low balance and told me to recharge for 200 rs. I did. After that i started making calls after few mins call dropped because they charged from main balance. I called airtel again, now they said you have to wait till you get a message that rental charge rs 99 is charged to your account and they can't re imburse the 200 rs and told me to recharge again and to wait for the message. I recharged again and waited for the message. I made call after the message and the amount was still going from main balance. This is terrible. I came to usa just relying on my airtel number now they completely ditched me. Please help me asap

                                I am using a airtel postpaid number from last 10 years but from the last 1 year they are charging unnecessary amount every month in the name of isd calls which are not done by me. Every month, i am told that i had called to a different country number. This is so annoying and dissapointing from a brand like airtel. They claim to be india's no.1 network but i would like to say that they are the no. 1 fraud amongst all the telecom players. They...

                                      I am a AIRTEL PAYMENT BANK WALLET HOLDER.

                                      WALLET NUMBER: [protected]

                                      My wallet balance as of 06.11.2017 is INR 100 (Indian Rupees One Hundred only)

                                      Due to unknown reason(s) it shows "DEBIT FREEZE' on my account. I'm not being able to do any transactions.

                                      In-spite of several requests AIRTEL is not taking necessary step(s) to unblock the account

                                      Is it a trap to cheat people?

                                      Whichever it is I want my account to behave normally.
