      Really frustrated with airtel service since last 03 months. Only depositing bills of 4g without any service from airtel.
      Now i am not going to pay a single money to airtel unless my 4g data service get improve at my home location.
      If airtel can't provide me 4g services then they are not authorized to generate bills for 4g.

        They have charged more saying i have used internet for two months in a row.
        While their airtel app shows that i havent even used complete data usage provided to me and has been carried forward for both these months.

        They dont treat their customers well and service request numbers generated are mentioned to be as solved without any execution.

        Then when i visit their airtel store they give a waiver in a few days.

        How was that service request termed solved, i have no idea about that.

        Currently it is at same state with waiver pending for the last to last month.

        I have not used any of your data for the same reason that this BEST NETWORK would again lose its mind and charge me huge amount for NO REASON AT ALL!

        you should be ashamed of yourself calling urself best network.

        Explain these digits for gods sake.

                  Hi,
                  This is mr. Sajal rastogi from ncr having airtel postpaid connection no. [protected]. I lost my mobile yesterday night, hence, i want to request the airtel team to please block this sim card asap.

                  Please guide me through the process of issuing a duplicate prepaid sim card. I expect a quick solution to my problem with further knowledge of the procedure.

                  Thanks,

                    A complaint # 65973093 i have raised a week ago regarding an issue with my airtel dth connection. Since then i have been contacting customer care every single day to be assured by airtel team that the issue resolution will be prioritized and immediate action would be taken, but alas every single day the assurance provided turns out to be a failure.

                    Below is a gist of the agony i had to face as a customer with airtel dth services

                     the issue began with an initial complaint # 65905338 raised by me regarding signal loss, one of your field engineer did visit my place and tried to mitigate it.
                     but the issue resurfaced the next day again for which i raised another complaint against ticket # 65944735 which was closed by your team without any resolution even after me clearly stating to keep the ticket open until resolved.
                     i again called your customer care (28th sep) and was assured that the resolution of the issue would be provided soon. But when i insisted for re-opening of the closed ticket i was provided a new ticket number # 65973093 for tracking purposes.
                     since 28th september, i have been following up on a daily basis with your customer care and every single day your team promises that the ticket is prioritized and resolution will be provided the same day. But i do not receive even a call from your field team enquiring on the issue forget about fixing it.

                    This service experience has tested my patience as a customer and i am writing this mail with assumption that bringing the dire state of your customer services to the notice of nodal officer would at least help acknowledging the issue and provide me with a mitigation at the earliest.

                    Tickets raised till date:
                    •[protected]Open)
                    •[protected]Closed without resolution)
                    • 65905338

                    But looks like the nodal team just sends out emails rather than following up with the field teams. The ticket is open and till date neither from the nodal team nor from the airtel field group either visit or call me regarding the complaint

                    Nodal reference no. Is [protected]

                    My connection details :
                    Account holder name : vamsi chandra guddati
                    Customer id – [protected]-001
                    Set top box - hd+ recorder
                    Subscription plan - annual

                    Appreciate if a strict action is taken and immediate resolution provided to the issue.

                      Hi

                      Airtel is worst network which cant able to clear the customer problems. They are giving 121 and 198 only for the recorded advertisement not for clearing customer issues. For emergency also we cant able to use the network provider. I complaint many times but no one is responsing. Suddenly netwok is not getting 3g not working in centre of the city itself. It is simply rolling and rolling. I changed the sim after i lost my network as per the airtel store keeper advise but now i am not able to receive or send any sms i dont knw how to solve this problem. If i call customer care lines 121 and 198 they r simply telling to press this and that but executive is not connecting to ask our problems.

                        This is regarding deactivation of outgoing call barring service on my sim having no.[protected]. Last couple of weeks, i was facing problem, that i was not able to making any outgoing calls and messages and i am able receive calls and messages. I was getting "outgoing calls barred" prompt. I have contacted to customer care. But they could not resolved my problem and its not fair part from airtel to blocking services with out providing proper information to customer. Currently i am at overseas. I gave enough documents while i was taking documents. Please send me the password to de-activate barring as soon as possible.

                            I am in germany since yesterday and i can receive all incoming calls but i am not able to make any outgoing calls. I have activated an international roaming pack of rs 2998 for 10 days. The pack includes a talk time of 250 minutes but i am unable to get any. Whenever i dial a number first a notification pops "airtel:outgoing calls barred" and then they tell me to contact customer care.

                            Please help me as soon as possible.

                              I have been using airtel since last 3yrs never faced any major issues bt in last few months getting d worst network coverage. It's 4g signal automatically changes to 3g and internet stops working. I talked to the customer care regrading this issue several times bt got disappointing results like they said "i[censored] select 4g only then internet won't work in 3g if it changes" like seriously? Such dumb replies! Others said in ur area coverage showing is good we can't do anything bla bla bla. Now wat should i do, after spending 399 shal i switch to other provider!! My airtel no is [protected], currently residing at dinhata, dist - coochbehar, ward no -6. Hoping best from india's biggest network provider.

                                I change my 2g to 4g sim, have visited the local air tel office at least 4-5 time with so many times called and mail them to sort out the issue of this one to one mapping, they gave me fake promise that it will be solved with 3 hours. For last 4 days i don't have signal on my mobile ([protected]) to do any outgoing/incoming call. My plan of 247 for 28 days, here it looks like the money has been took by air tel without providing the service

                                  I (Harshit oberoi) is highly disappointed with the services from you guys from the past 1 month and every time whenever i call customer care department i have to be on hold for more than 45 min and today was the worst experience. I was on hold for 54 min and after 54 min i was connected with supervisor name anil who didn’t give any resolution and i was forced to cancel my services with airtel.

                                  Now let me tell you the whole scenario and because of resolution provided by anil i was forced to cancel the services.

                                  On sept 14 or on 13th sept i called customer care because i wanted to switch my airtel standalone broadband connection to airtel broadband connection with the fixed line and customer care advisor advise me that they will take a request to provide new connection as i have stand alone connection i have asked him that do i have to pay for installation charges and your customer care advisor denied and said that i don’t have to pay installation fee but when the executive came to my place to get the new connection he asked to pay 1000/- for installation fee and then again i had to call customer care executive and then after discussing the same for 40-50 mins your advisor gave me credit of 472/- and finally on 16th sept i got the new connection installed and i have called the customer care of 17th sept and asked your advisor to cancel the standalone connection and i was told that it will be cancelled in fact they asked the reason and verified my personal information as well but they haven’t gave me any service request # or confirmation neither i received any text message for the same. Also in the mean while i was informed that i will get the instrument with the new connection but at the end i was not provided the same and then after lot of calls and speaking to supervisor i was offered a credit of 200/- and every time whenever i called i asked that stand alone connection has to be cancelled and every time i was informed that it has been cancelled and today i received a text message for the bill of 1295/- so i was in shocked as i have cancelled the stand alone so i decided to call customer care and over there i got to know that stand alone connection was not cancelled due to which i received the bill, i explained the whole scenario to the customer service rep named (Sheel) and he asked me to give him the ref# i informed him that i was not provided a ref # so he listened to the call recording and said that i did call to cancel but as the back-end team were not able to reach me it was not cancelled so i decided to speak to supervisor and after a long hold 45-50 min my call was transferred to supervisor named anil and as per anil it was my fault that i didn’t ask for the ref #, he clearly said that as i don’t have the ref # even though he has the record that i have asked to cancel the service he can’t do anything i still gave the option that as i asked to cancel the request on 16th so i can pay for 15 days but not beyond that he straight away denied and said that i have to pay the full amount, which forced me to cancel all the services with you guys. Moreover i asked anil that today as well sheel didn't provide me any ref# so he said that you have ask for that and you have to fight till the time an agent will not give you any reference number, if that is the resolution i will get from the supervisor its better that i should switch to different vendor.

                                  I will go with a different service provider but i never thought that i will be treated in such a way being customer of airtel from past 5-6 years this kind of services will not be expected.

                                  I will be posting such reviews everywhere and will inform everyone to switch their services from airtel as now airtel doesn’t care much about their customers.

                                  Below are my details about the service which i have with you guys, if you guys want you guys can call me after 3 pm anytime, but i will not be paying anything extra as it’s not my fault if your customer care executive are not doing their job so i will not be paying the bill if you guys will agree i can pay for 15 days but not beyond that.

                                  New broadband connection landline # [protected]

                                  Today as well anil just provided me the service request # for cancellation but today also i haven’t receive any sms from you guys where as i was informed that i will receive sms as well and based on today’s incident it’s clear that again if i will call you guys will only say that it’s my fault as i haven’t receive the service request number.

                                  P. S — only call me if you guys can provide any resolution hence please do not call because i do not want to waste my time again.


                                  Thanks

                                      My no [protected] and they offer 4g service by sending frequent promotional sms. I recharged rs 244 which offers free airtel to airtel call and daily 1gb 4g data. But after recharge they don't even provide 2g service. I contacted customer care and they said 4g is unavailable in my area. My biggest concern if they don't have service then why they sending promotional sms to those customers and make them fool. I want my money back if you can't provide service in my area.
