Website: airtel network upgrading

Hi, airtel services upgraded my sim to 4g and delievered it to me. Now its been a week and still my old 3g sim is not deactivated. My sim is not upgraded to 4g sim, is it meant that? I send request four times for the sim change following all the steps correctly as they mention on 4g sim voucher. Everytime they send a message that your request is in process. Its really irritating and waste of time. Please let me know that how much time they are going to accept my sim change request so that i can start my 4g services.
Thank you
Diksha

      Hi,

      My name is tomy, i had an airtel postpaid connection number [protected]. I raised a request to disconnect the service on sept 16, 2017 since i am going abroad. I got a call from the retention team on same day and after a long conversation, negotiation and persuasion from the retention team i told them, i am not going to keep the connection at any cost. So they finally agreed and disconnected the service.

      My phone showed no signal after few hours and i thought they have disconnected it and i started preparing for my travel

      On 20th september, the bill for that month (Aug-sept) was generated and i paid it fully and departed from india.

      Now today when i checked my airtel app which is still in phone, i could see that a bill has been generated on october 20th which is around 411rs. So i called my friend in india to call airtel customer service center and ask about this. He called and he said, the customer care executive doesn't have any idea and they said they will contact him soon, but no information from them till now. As per the customer care executive, the disconnection would take 7 days to take effect. If that is true then sept 16 + 7 days, by sept 23rd, the connection should have been disconnected. But the truth is my phone started showing no signal on sept 16th itself after few hours of the retention team call.

      Even if the connection get disconnected in sept 23, and bill date being 20th of every month (I think so) i should only pay 3 days bill, not a full month's.

      Please resolve this issue asap, since am not present in india at the moment and i am raising this complaint with the help of my friend in india.

          I have gone to airtel centres at least 4times and took a new sim and submitted my aadhar details. But still my sim is not getting registered. When I contact call centre they say I have not submitted my aadhar details. Airtel service is pathetic, please solve my problem and get my sim activated.

                  Website: airtel

                  Airtel has mentioned that linking of aadhar number to mobile number is done at free of cost at airtel centres. But it is not so. On 17/10/2017 i visited a airtel centre (Opposite to state bank of india) in gingee-604202 to link my two airtel numbers. They have charged rs.20 for linking the aadhar with my mobile number. I asked them airtel has mentioned that it is a free service why charge
                  Rs.20. But they denied and recevied rs.20. The same day i have contacted the airtel customer care complained. Till now no response. Is airtel ecncouraging this?

                  The airtel centre name is bismillah agency (Opposite to sbi)

                        I opted for porting from airtel to other network, later i received a call from a retention service and they offered me a pack of rs399 mentioning 1gb/day unlimited calls for 3 months, soon i recharged my number with the same and got a plan of 1gb/day and unlimited calls and messages for 1 month. I clearly mentioned him i don’t need messages, so there was no special pack. I was scammed with the same. Lost my trust in airtel, if i don’t get this fixed, surely i will port into other service provider

                          I'm using airtel since 2004 and it is very disappointing to see that the services have degraded to such bad levels that now they have started looting the customers in the name of providing the services through the app.

                          I paid mtnl bill for this month twice on 19/10/2017 but the transaction failed both the times. The account balance was also deducted both the times and the bill remained still unpaid.

                          Had to pay my bill through other means.

                          I request airtel to not to fool the customers by reducing their account balance unnecessarily if the said services cannot be provided.

                          Hope i'll not be disappointed again and the amount deducted from my account amounting 864 rupees (432 rupees twice) will be added back to my account in my airtel app.

                            What the hell is going on i don’t want to use this bloody airtel services customer care sucks they won’t take any complaints and they won’t solve any customer issues they do all fraud.

                            Here is the story with airtel i wanted to change to another network and i kept a port request and then this airtel stupid customer care executive called me and told that we have offers we will provide then i went and recharged 399 from airtel app the offer given by airtel executive is 84 days validity but when i recharged it shows only 28 days then again i called customer care and told about they don’t even bother about they are saying the offer is not valid for your number and the twist is the airtel app shows 349 28 days validity but airtel took 399 from me and given the same offer. This is how airtel deals with the customers.

                              I upgraded my bill plan on 18/10 and since then my internet is not working. Despite repeated calls to the customer service, the said problem has not been resolved.

                              Will the service provider do its job instead of putting its customers through such unnecessary inconvenience?

                                I recharged my number with 1 day pack for 1 GB internet that stays valid for 24 hours from the time you recharge it, at 11:25 PM and at 12:30 AM it shows that I have no data balance left and I haven’t used it. On top of that there are no customer care executives to solve any kind of problems.

                                  Dear sir,

                                  I have raised a complaint to airtel in the month of june 2017 that i am not getting the 3g/4g speed, i am getting the data connection speed 50 kbps on 3g/4g data packs. Until the issue is not resolved and airtel charge for 3g/4g bills. I try to complain many times i try to complain on airtel store, airtel customer care, airtel india email but they did not write correctly complain and refuse to resolve this problem.

                                  If we pay for 3g speed then we need 3g speed.

                                  Regards,
                                  Surya choudhary

                                      I have recharged on 20th september with rs 399/- as per commitment given by airtel executive at the time of porting for unlimited calls and 1gb data for everyday 4g internet for 70 days. Airtel executive raise request for 70 days but i received the massage 18th oct and i got a msg that my offer validity is over and i need to recharge again. Why?? Isn’t this offer for 70 days? That’s what the offer said by airtel executive. Why is it getting discontinued within 28 days?? I didn’t spend 399/- inr for 28 days. Kindly see to this problem. I have been a loyal airtel customer. My number is 2 years old. I don’t expect this from airtel.

                                      Senior executive and even floor supervisor just cut the phone without help me out from this problem.
