    Address: 638314

    Sir, i am from erode district, tamil nadu. My service area pincode is 638314, and i am living in kundhubayur near olagadam. The last 2 months the data coverage in my area is very worst. Many times 2g data is connected, some times it may be lost for a long time. As i am using 244 plan of 1gb/daily and free local on net calls.
    Most of the custmomers in our area changing networks for this reason. If the problem exists in future me also changing network to other provider.

    Please kindly correct the network coverage in our area and keep your brandpromise.

            I m facing network issue at everywhere in mumbai, thane... Call drop, call mute, unable to call some time, data connectivity issue, voice breaking.. I hv registered a complain since i have ported in airtel, but they provide a single solution every time i complain recently i hv done on 23rd september 2017 and two day before they told me that in your area it will going to take 45 to 60 days or may be it will take more days to resolve. They provide a single solution that go and change ur sim card... This is pathetic solution bcz one of my friend is ported in aritel and within 5 days same solution is also provided by airtel for network issue.
            My compalin no. Is 79745317

                I requested for an airtel broadband and made 3 month advance payment of rs. 3897, but they couldn't provide the connection later citing reasons of non feasibility, how can they charge advance payment for connection without checking the feasibility at first case and later make us beg for refund. I have been following up with their customer care for quite some time and everytime they give a new timeline or excuse and ask for documents again. Now they are not even replying to the mails even

                I am under post bone marrow transplant therapy and with this stress of running behind this pathetic service provider is too much for me. Need help and actions against them.

                          Address: Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, 474011

                          Greetings.

                          My name is capt bhuwan pratap singh, i'm presently serving in the indian army and i am a resident of gwalior, madhya pradesh. This complaint is in respect of my relationship as a customer of airtel gwalior. We have been customer's of airtel gwalior since 1999. We had a land line connection with airtel and as the times progressed we also had internet connection from them. The connection is in the name of my father capt viresh pratap singh, who is serving in the merchant navy at present. My father himself was a member of airtel from[protected].

                          With this as a background i would like to express my displeasure on the way the company has behaved whenever a complaint has been made. My mother being the only permanent resident of the house cannot run around for meagre troubles regarding the internet connectivity. I would like to tell that airtel has been kind before but since the past few years their attitude has been different. Without making this a long story i would come to the crux of the problem.

                          The internet connection has been continously unsatisfactory, and whenever a complaint is made a temporary solution is given, which falls apart in few days and the problem comes back to square one. The issue is that whenever there is a problem it is us who have to run around and make calls. My mother is mostly alone at home as i'm serving out of the state and my father sails outside the country for most of the year. We are always directed to make a call to customer care who usually keeps us on hold. Even when i personally made a call to a airtel person who deals with internet connections, he also directed us to make a call on customer care, stating it as protocol.

                          I know this might sound like a cringe but this is not what a 19 year old customer expects. When i prompted them to get the connection disconnected they told my mother to come to the office and fill a form. What i'm trying to imply is that for last 5 year we have only been fire fighting, they create a problem, we run around and make calls to solve it. The problem has reached a level where i can call it harrasement.

                          I would request that airtel gwalior be directed to disconnect our connection but they should themselves set the ball rolling and it should not be the case that my mother has to go to their office and do the required. A good company would ensure that, if not for everybody but for a 50 year old woman who has been a customer for more than a decade and also who's husband has put in his services for the same company.

                          I would also like to point out that airtel has never misbehaved with us but has always been ignorant and indifferent to our continuous requests.

                          We want to get away from this company which has a very big name but is no where close to it in terms of services. I don't know about the rest of the country but this is specifically related to airtel gwalior.

                          I hope that you don't treat this complaint like airtel gwalior has done. I would also point out that we have always paid our dues and bills in time, which can be checked from our records. I don't want any compensation but redressal from this breach of trust, by getting this connection disconnected by directing them to do so.

                          Even as you have stated that i shouldn't disclose my personal details, i will have to do so because there is no other option. My phone no is [protected] and my email id is bhuwan. [protected]@gmail.com.

                          I sincerely request you to do whatever can be done ad if not please notify me about it.

                          Thanking you,

                          Capt bhuwan pratap singh

                          Ps: apologies for using caps. My last call made to the company is dated 18 oct 2017 (Which is today).

                                Hello sir/mam
                                This complaint is on supervisor named dhruva working as supervisor in bannerghatta, bangalore. I spoke him regarding balance deduction from my account. He started telling me illogical things saying that i used more data than the existing data so the balance has been deducted while the data balance was still 200 mb. He started behaving rudely and started saying that i had 203mb in my account and i have used 207mb so the amount is deducted from the account while i still have 200mb remaining in my account which is completely illogical. He was never in the position to help me out regarding this i hope you take right action on this regard.
                                Thank you

                                  I had got an international roaming recharge of ₹ 2999 an ₹300 respectively on 28th september 2017 from the airtel office itself promising free incoming calls, 250 min of outgoings and 3gb internet service. To my dismay any calls on my trip to europ were charged from my main account. I had even sent a mail to the customer helpline forum on this regard while i was on trip. I had faced lot of issues as no service was provided as promised. After returning i complained the customer care an they had been transferring my calls and responsibilities to other. While asking for the refund they fail to do so and even admitting that the fault was from their side they just say sorry. I want the refund of the international recharge pack done as airtel being such a big service povider is just tricking its customer without even providibg the service called for

                                    I purchased airtel's 4g hotspot postpaid device from airtel's own service center located at revenue colony, subedari, hanamkonda, telangana location on 7th oct 2017 with the assurance from the store manager that there is ample network at our residence locality which is just about 150 mts behind the service center but i wasn't able to connect to the internet since day 1 and have contacted the service center, airtel's networking team, higher management all together at least 40 times but the issue hasn't been solved until now. I have already lost 11 days of my valuable work as of today (18th oct) and i still don't see any progress on this issue. Whenever i call their networking team, they say that the fix is still being done and same is the answer for the last 6 days. Neither they are ready to take their device back so that i can take any other isp nor they are actively trying to solve the issue that i am facing with their network and/or device.

                                    I opted airtel because of the claims they make that their's is the best network and service provider in india but with this experience i really dont think any of their speedtest claims or any other claims are true...
