Dear sir/mam,
I belong to hyderabad and now i've come to jaipur and will soon leave for jodhpur. Due to roaming, i'm unable to make any kind of outgoing calls and this is really a problematic issue for me.
I believe airtel does answer it's customers.
Please solve my problem and tell me what to do. I really need to make many important calls.
By the way, thank god that my data services are still as better as always.
Hoping for positive reply...
Thanks and regards

    I have recently ported my number from vodafone to airtel in a hope that it is the fastest indian data company and i will get good services. But my expectations has turned upside down. Since i have ported my number, the data services were working decent except for the last 2 weeks in which i see that my mobile shows that 4g is working but the speed is pathetic. I tested the same on oakhla speedtest and the result was disastrous. So i have a request to the company to stop claiming that you are the fastest data company as you are not. Also i will be soon porting my number out if the condition prevails. I live in gurgaon and is having lot of trouble due to this. Both the numbers ported in airtel has the same issue. So anyone in ncr dont port to airtel, due to the schemes that they are offering. They claim to give leftout data back in next month. But what is the use if the download speed is 0.02 megabits per sec.

        Hi,

        I have an issue about tower strength in my locality, can airtel do something about it because there are many airtel users here and facing the same problem. So i thought about raising this concern to airtel as a high priority. We could not even contact anyone and facing a lot of call drop issues. I hope airtel accepts my concerns and provide the best customer support for its users. Thanks.

          I am khushal mehta, a very old customer of airtel, my contact number is 9971*10, this number is used by my sister, so through airtel app she recharged one number added in the app that is for international roaming in doha, by mistaken she recharged it for rs 1197 which does not work in doha and we came to know once the person landed there, i request you to please refund this amount as it is a really big amount and is of no use for that person, also we recharged again for rs 647 on same number you may check the transaction as this works there. I am seeking refund for the same by requesting them, and as per the mail communication received they were supposed to contact me in 2 hours, but all in vain, i tried so many times to speak to some customer service executive, which also didn't worked as their ivr system never allows you to speak to someone

              Address: Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, 244001

              I visited an airtel store in moradabad to get my mobile link with my aadhaar card. The staff there told me to visit a retail shop instead. When i visited the retail store i was charged rs. 20 for linking the aadhaar with mobile there. When i objected i was told that this is the rate with which it is being done if i want to do it, or else my number will be deactivated as per government rules. It is supposed to be without charge as per my information. What kind of scam is this? Please check and confirm if there is an official charge.

                          Am vivek from karumathampatty, Coimbatore. My airtel number is [protected]. In my location the data speed was not fair. Even the speed was not equal to 2g . Poor connectivity and you simply made a loss for me . If the problem will occurs in next two days surely I 'll PORT the same number to jio.

                              Sir/madam,

                              With reference to the flood of messages that you have sent to mobile subscribers saying, “”link your aadhaar card to you number now to stay active! As per the government of india, this is mandatory to enjoy continued services”.

                              With reference to the letter of department of telecommunications (Dot), union ministry of communications is inconsistent with law and hon’ble supreme court’s 5-judge constitution bench order of october 15, 2015. This department issued a letter dated 23 march, 2017 on the subject of “implementation of hon’ble supreme court orders regarding 100% e-kyc based re-verification of all existing subscribers” wherein it partially refers to the observation made in hon’ble court’s order of 2-judge bench dated february 6, 2017. The observation of the hon’ble court 2-judge bench to which the dot letter refers is at para 5 of the order. It reads: “in view of the factual position brought to our notice during the course of hearing, we are satisfied, that the prayers made in the writ petition have been substantially dealt with, and an effective process has been evolved to ensure identity verification, as well as, the addresses of all mobile phone subscribers for new subscribers.in the near future, and more particularly, within one year from today, a similar verification will be completed, in the case of existing subscribers.” after citing this part of the hon’ble court order, the letter will have us believe that “this amounts to a direction which is to be completed within a time frame of one year.” having reached this inference, dot has sought uid/aadhaar based verification of new mobile subscribers and re-verification of all existing mobile subscribers.
                              We wish to draw your attention to the fact that dot has reached a flawed inference with regard to whether or not february 6, 2017 observation of 2-judge bench “amounts to a direction” or not because under no situation can the union ministry of communications establish that 2-judge bench’s order will prevail over the 5-judge constitution bench’s order.
                              We submit that after the 9th june 2017 verdict of justice a k sikri headed bench of hon’ble supreme court on 12 digit biometric unique identification (Uid)/aadhaar, dot’s letter dated 23 march, 2017 has become invalid on three grounds. One, the letter is illegal as it is in violation of the hon’ble court’s 5- judge bench order. Two, the letter is inconsistent with aadhaar act, 2016. Three, the hon’ble court’s order of 9 june 2017 will prevail over the dot letter dated 23 march, 2017.
                              We submit that nowhere does the aadhaar (Targeted delivery of financial and other subsidies, benefits and services) act, 2016 provide for and authorise “seeding”’ o[censored]id/aadhaar numbers in databases. The act provides for only two uses:
                              1. Authentication, which means that biometric or demographic data can be sent to the uid’s cidr (Central identities data repository) to return a `yes/no’ reply to the question whether you are who you say you are.
                              2. Ekyc, which does something they had said they would never do, viz., give the data on their data base (Except core biometric data – but they have no means of stopping any agency from collecting and keeping biometrics when it is given for authentication) to an authorised service agency.
                              We submit that section 8 (2) (B) of the act is categorical that an agency requesting authentication “ensure (S) that the identity information of an individual is only used for submission” to the central identities data repository (Cidr) of 12-digit biometric unique identification (Uid)/aadhaar numbers “for authentication”. It does not authorise anyone to hold on to the number.
                              We submit that as per the order of hon’ble supreme court’s 5-judge bench dated 15 october 2015, aadhaar cannot be made mandatory for the purposes of linking to mobile phones. This has been reiterated by the hon’ble court on 9th june and 27th june, 2017.
                              We submit that the use of aadhaar for linking to other databases, retention, storage or publishing is not only prohibited and is a punishable offence under the the aadhaar (Targeted delivery of financial and other subsidies, benefits and services) act 2016.

                              Inspite of all this chembur airtel center refused to process without biometrics

                              Best wishes

                                  I have on 17th of october 2017 at 3 pm requested your customer care staff that my land line and broad band ([protected]) should be kept under safe custody for a period of 3 months. The staff noted name and number and said that the connection would be cut within half an hour and i would get an sms. As nothing happened, again called around 5.30 pm and told everything. He said that my request has been accepted and i would get an sms within half an hour. Till today i have not received any communication. Please let me know the position of my request and send a mail ([protected]@yahoo.com).

                                  Thanking you,

Also i have booked a complain on airtel portal on 21st oct 2017 with ref. No. - pr[protected] which they close on 22nd oct 2017 without any intimation or contact. The no.
