I have raised complaint about airtel network on 6 october 2017 still my complaint in pending status, finally i have decided for portability airtel to other subscriber i paid extra amount (Rs. 450) to airtel. Airtel has rejected portability request because i have a due payment which has already paid in advance even i have got extra charge in my monthly bills like roaming and international calls which i never called. And they are not going to waived off.

I am totally frustrated with airtel service.

    This is regarding the salespersons in the airtel store which is located inside ascendas international park, taramani, chennai 600113. Whenever (Almost 7 to 8 times) we visit the stores for any specific service, both (One girl and another guy) behave as if they own bharti airtel and doesnt even respond properly or provide proper service. Worst experience ever!
    They dont even ask the customers to wait and they just speak seeing down and not responding properly with an arrogant attitude.
    Being inside a huge campus and with it professionals, this type o[censored]nparliamentary behaviour is highly uninviting!

    Address of the stores as follows

          I have submitted my electricity bill of 780 of bses yamuna ltd. Through airtel payment bank.

          Because it give me a offer of 50 cashback on bill payment of above 500rs. Also this offer printed on back side of electricity bill.

          But i didn't get any cashback by airtel payment bank.

          Its seems that i have been cheated by this company.

          Please take action on it.

            I have applied for porting to reliance communication on 31st oct 2017 for transfer my number to airtel. I have duly filled in application for the said matter. And submitted necessary documents, photos etc with airtel store at kalinga chowk at west patel nagar, new delhi. Since then 7 days already passed but porting process not been completed. I have tried to communicate the issue with airtel customer care (198) but they did not resolve the issue. I also contacted with the airtel store, kalinga chowk but they refused provide any assistance to resolve the matter.
            In view of facts stated herein above the complaint has been preferred for immediate resolution, since rcom is going to stop providing voice service very soon i badly need to port my number with airtel.

                      Please note week before i had ported my number from reliance postpaid to airtel.. I was holding my reliance number since 2010.
                      Asper current scenerio reliance is closing, i had decided to port my number, as continuesly i m getting call from airtel with plan 299, even messages for plan 299 + 18%gst in which she was offering unlimited calls / roaming /sms and 20gb data free per month. I had confirmed this plan everytime she was calling me.
                      After the porting.. I was shocked to see message that my plan is of 399 + 18% gst + 1 gb data for a month..
                      I was looking myself as a one of the biggest fool in this world..
                      By porting my number to airtel. When i call customer care. They increase my data to 10gb. I had all the call recording of airtel representative what she had offered me before porting.. I want.. What your company had promised me..
                      All call record are save in my mobile and i can send attachment on request.

                        I have newly purchased a 4g hotspot device and the postpaid sim for it, the sales executive said it will be activated in 2 to 4 hours but even after 4 days it was not activated, i was calling the call centre every day but they are not sure what to do and person to person the resolving time changes, i heard 24 hours, 48 hours but now they are saying 7 days to get it activated and they don't know why.

                        I strictly want every sales person should be educated and they need to treat the customer fairly.

                          I was an airtel postpaid customer in mumbai for more than 6 years. On transfer to chennai and due to very high charges, i decided to change the service provider. Accordingly i applied for number portability. Immediately i received a call from airtel advising me against doing that and they offered me huge credit in the the form of balance of about 5000 rs. Against my postpaid account. However i went ahead and changed the service provider. To my surprise an astronomical amount of about 7000 has been charged to me showing data usage. I don't know what's going on in airtel. I think this is a serious fraud. I am still not sure how to proceed further.
                          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                          After my complaint, I got a response from airtel, that your bill amount is reduced and you make a payment of Rs. 888. What they have done is that they had applied data charges to my account to nullify the credit available against my account.

                          The surprising thing going is that the airtel team is not ready to send the revised bill to my registered email asking me to make the payment.

                          Instead they have passed on a link from a private mobile no. which I don't know. Even that link is not taking me to the payments page.

                          I don't know what trick they are up to.

                          I was certainly not expecting this from airtel.

                          Please resolve at the earliest.

                              We have taken a prepaid number on 26-10-17 at airtel outlet in khairatabad, near sandhya hotel, opposite global hospital. We were asked to select from a list of numbers after registration through aadhar card and verification, and the same was assigned. As per list the number is : [protected] and the same was written on the sim card cover which was handed over to us.
                              The same number was printed on all our office stationery.

                              Later it came into notice that the activated number and the assigned number are different and we have not been receiving calls. The activated number is: [protected].

                              The change in the number caused lot of inconvenience and loss in our business. Please find attached the photo of sim card cover mentioned with the assigned number.

                              We request the concerned authorities to take necessary action against the outlet.
                              Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                I ported my number from reliance to airtel and its more than a week. As per message received from airtel that my number will be processed by 6th of november. But till my number is not activated and my reliance number is deactivated. Airtel saying that this is a very repudiated and fastest network company. So this is your company. I am facing problem from last 2 days. My outgoing and incoming are blocked, my number is not ported yet. So please confirm when will you update my request.
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                Today is 14th of November, Airtel executive told me that your problem "not able to make Incoming and outgoing calls" will be resolved by 14th of November. but still the problem is same. Its my postpaid number. So this is the service you provided to postpaid customer. Please check Once that how many calls i received from 3rd of November. I think its better to switch to other network who cares about their customers, even idea is providing much much better services than you. So finally i decided to switch to idea network and after using your services from last more than 10 days i never recommend anyone to adopt Airtel network. its the worst network.

                                Today is 23rd November and its around 1 month, but the same problem is there. no one can contact me on my number and i am not able to make any call. This is how the Airtel "India's Fastest Network" work. This is my postpaid connection and now bill is generated for the same. Without making any calls re receiving any call on my number i have to pay a bill. I suggest to everyone from Haryana Punjab who are planing to buy airtel 4g, Please dont go for Airetl network otherwise you people will suffer like me. even Idea is much more better than airtel.

                                Anyone please suggest if i have to file a RTI Complaint against airtel Network then please tell me the procedure. I have a record of each followup with airtel.
