    I took airtel broadband connection on 24-oct-2017 and raised a service request on 30-sep-2017 regarding my frequent disconnection of network. But still airtel network team unable to resolve.
    After raising disconnection request i got a call from cancellation department and they gave commitment that we will resolve this issue shortly but still there is no progress.

    I have some question please clarify

    1) what is eta of resolving a ticket (Why my issue is not fixed last 17 days)

    2) as per your service specialist this issue is from airtel due to low copper wire.

    If you do not have proper infrastructure then why you are giving new connection?

    3) some of your service specialist are saying you can call to 121 and ask for connect my name if issue will persist (Eg harish told me). While requesting service specialist to specific person they are asking we cann't connect specific person and disclosed our location. I do agree with business policy. Yesterday i called to your executive and he is saying i am from delhi it's not my scope and i will escalated to bangalore team. (If disclosing of address is not in your policy why this guy disclosed (I assumed this policy is for cheating customer)

    4) why you do not have professional service specialist?

        My airtel mobile number: [protected], is showing "emergency service only", from the past 3 hours. I'm using a brand new samsung s8 plus. From the time i purchased this phone 2 months back, i haven't removed the sim. When i call airtel customer care, regarding this issue, they keep telling me that need to change sim, as it might have got damaged. I don't understand the logic, as to how a sim, inside the phone get damaged, with out taking it out. My s8 plus itself has no single scratch on it. Such an illogical explanation from airtel is quite frustrating.

              I got a call from executive rahul kumar explaining me to upgrade my plan to 799
              I told will look into it without any verification or consent or proper confirmation call disocnnected quickly and then i received messege that plan has been upgraded.
              Then i called air tel cu care and execute priyanka received the call and she took request for verification but no one turned up yet though as per executive complain was on high priority

              This is really harassing from airtel withiout any confirmation or anything how can they cheat customers through spam calls.

              Each month i ma getting huge bill amount though my usage is limit

                  I have taken a pre paid airtel sim card in hyderabad, india recently and brought to dubai. I am working in dubai and it is always an issue whenever i visit to india. The newly purchased sim is not working and says no service where as i was told it will be operational in all countries. Not sure what is the issue and it has sufficient balance and data package.

                  Appreciate if we can get my sim card working here in dubai.

                        I am trying to deactivate the above post paid sim 4g data for the past two months. There is no option with 121, 198 or through loging in to my account. Airtel having started this exploitation of its individual clients, others will follow soon. I want to immediately cancel this service; don't mind to give up the balance data available in my account, but wish to get out of this menace once for all.

                          I used most of the network and i think airtel is most fraud for cheating people. My intention is not blaming but i faced such things.
                          I recharged 349 unlimited pack in airtel application. After that its not working now because i am in roaming. The plan didn't specify such details when i recharged, only give the details o[censored]nlimited plan.
                          After that i called to costumer care but they don't take any responsibility and said that all network have that same policy that plan not working at roaming (But its wrong because other network like jio plan working well). So my rs 349 was wasted. So i thing airtel network is the fraudest network above all networks.

                              We are highly suffering from airtel since 4 -5 month within 1km area approx 3500 customers.
                              Technical team of airtel doing harassment us with problem in voice calling & network.

                              City mein ye problem hai, to rural mein kya haal hoga.
                              Main kai baar complaint kar chuka hu. Par kuch nahi hua.
                              I guaranteed, within 2 years, airtel surrender kar dega communication deptt ko, aur wapis se cycle ke parts banayega.

                              Worst technical team hai airtel ki, rohta road near godwin petrol pump, meerut

                                  Dear sir/madam,

                                  With reference of the trail mail on the subject "need clarification on sudden hike on billing amount" inform you the bill for the month of september has been generated and the amount is rs.371.38 (Un-billed amount was showing rs.10000+) hence i would like to pay the last bill amount and would like to stop the service permanently because when i wanted to move from post paid to prepaid since that day (19th september 2017) my un billed amount was showing very high intentionally always. This time also the same situation has been created where my bill has been generated on 13th oct with rs.371.38 but next day my un billed amount is showing rs.5000+ which is completely intentionally once again because if i will go for surrender the sim then i would be bound to pay the unbilled amount where i have used it at all.

                                  Therefore i will pay the last month bill amount only and stop using the sim immediately after paying. After paying my bill amount if i would unable to surrender the sim then i have to take help with legal procedure. And will not pay any further bill.

                                  So i am expecting a positive feedback from your end.

                                  Regards,
                                  Prithwish banerjee

                                    Since yesterday i'm trying to send the port message as i want to opt out from airtel, but everytime the error comes as "unable to send the message". No issue is there with my cellphone as i have tried to send the message even from another cellphone. My sim is also perfect as i can send other messages but only message sent to 1900 has been blocked by airtel. I have tried contacting them over telephone and through mail but still no response. My no. Is [protected].

                                      Hello
                                      I have been facing problems with airtel since may/june of this year. Earlier, most of the time i couldn't hear what the other person was saying. I wemt to the service center and they changed my sim twice. Still i was facing the problem until last month. Now, from september 10 or something another issue started, the internet stopped working. I went to the customer service center, called them, but still my problem didnt resolve. The lady at the service center asked me to wait for few days as there was some network issue with airtel. I waited. On sept 26th i called the service center and told them that i have to switch on and then switch it off again and again to use the internet, and this i have to do in every two minutes. Now imagine how frustrating that is. I called them again on 4th of october and they told me that someone from their network team will call me. They did, twice, but i was busy both of the times so i asked them to call me later. I then gave a a missed call on 515 as i was instructed from the message i got, and i have been doing it simce 7th of october. I got a call from the technical team few minutes back and i told them that you guys are callimg very late you all should have called me earlier, after saying this he cut on me without even solving my problem.

                                      I got a call for the call drop issue which I was facing in august. No call from ypu guys about the 4g issue I am facing. Notifying and taking action are two different things.
