Airtel service is the worst. The network strength in my ph is full but the voice keeps breaking after every 2 seconds. The same is the case with each and every airtel user in my area. The only restriction with us is that we have no other option because there are only airtel towers in the area we live in. And due to the monopoly, obviously airtel is taking advantage of the same. There is no customer service and complaints are being closed without getting resolved. I feel like going to the court and filing complaint against these guys each time i make or recieve a call. Airtel sucks. Never seen such a bad service provider in my life.

    Dear sir

    I am holding a mobile no. [protected] of airtel. It is in the name of my daughter harika. But she has left to usa for a short stint and during that period many calls came to get it verified from nearest airtel for aadhar. Since, my daughter is not present they didnt agree. And suddenly they have deactivated the service and i am having a balance of about 390 in the prepaid. But, no one is helping as i approached many air tel customer case centres in shimla. I damn bather if they remove the servce, but they grabbed my balance amount also. Which is pathetic. Atleast ask them to transfer this money to my account i. E. [protected], need assitance either to activate it again or balance transfer. My dauther is not likely to return back from us atleast for next few months.

        Dear team,

        ₹399 airtel prepaid plan is not showing in the available plans. Hence last month also recharged with ₹349. But once the transaction is complete, i can see ₹399 is visible in available list. Hence airtel is only showing ₹399 plan, when i don’t require and they are not showing when i require (On last day of my existing plan).
        It’s a clear fraud incase in case if that have plan, they should enable this plan every time.

        Looks it time to switch to jio, i have been using airtel since 6 years.

                Hi,

                I have recharged my number with rs.399 (After i crossed my home state) because there was roaming facility as well.

                I am now unable to make any phone calls.

                1) is there any support pack that i should recharge?

                2) is there something wrong with the plan?

                3) how do i connect with customer care?

                I receive no information from any of these airtel customer support platforms.

                I need to make phone calls asap. Please look into this issue.

                  Hello, i am the airtel customer for the past 7-8 years. Due to some issues i ported my number to different network. Realizing that airtel is giving the services better now, i re ported my [protected] number to airtel only thinking to get the best services.
                  Its been more than 25 days i am facing network issue near my locality and hasn't been resolved yet even after complaining to the team. Not able to talk on call properly nor able to use the 3g 4g network.
                  No further assistance i got after having a conversation once. And when i traced my complaint i found it to be closed.
                  Please do the needful else i would have left with no other option except to port to different network again and that too permanent.

                        We have purchased new sim on 29thsep oder no:[protected], was assured to get activated within four hrs. However, it is not yet activated (2nd oct, 8 am). We had spoken to customer service executives many times. After that we spoke to mr. Prasad [protected], but no use. Your customer service people appear to be dummies with no intention of solving problems but speak politely to fool customers. I regret to say that, your customer care is inefficient and disgusting.

                          I recharged my number with 399 plan which states that we get unlimited calls and 1gb data/day for 84 days. Post recharge the benefit that i got was for 28 days only. When i called customer service they simply told that we can't help on this. Also when asked why they give false advertisement they said this offer is not there for all numbers. When i told i got the message they said that the offer might have changed by now.
                          These people are least bothered and when asked to transfer complaint to supervisor they simply put on hold and later disconnect. Pathetic service. Not expected out of a company like airtel.
                          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                          As after believing on airtel i port my docomo prepaid mobile no. in airtel prepaid but the result is worst after doing recharge i got the same msg that ur no. is successfully recharged u got the benefits 1gb/day for 84 days but after checking on myairtel app it shows it is for 30 days only. & after talk with cc of airtel their response is like hell

                                My airtel dongle number : [protected]
                                I got this dongle connection from my company for on-call support.

                                From past 3 weeks, at my home, ramagondanahalli 560066, 4g network coverage is at worst. Speed shows 0kbps most of the times, can you believe this funny situation, thats it, nothing else required to convey.
                                This is total pathetic, cheap, cheating, shame service from airtel.

                                Kindly provide proper 4g network or refund my money then cancel the connection.

                                  Since this morning, no matter which site i wish to open..it is being automatically redirected to airtel iportal. I dismissed the alert many times. But still its automatically being redirected to airtel iportal. Why are these offers being forced down our throat. I wanted to book a bus ticket for tomorow but i couldnt because it wont allow me to acces anythng other than airtel Iportal. Iam totally frustrated with this service.

                                      I activated a data plan on my airtel number [protected], for 24 rupees and after some days they again deducted same amount from my balance without any notification and my knowlenge.

                                      When i talk to their customer representatives they are saying that "sir there is information regarding the auto renwal which is return in small font i. E." terms and conditions apply"then i said"does it inform something regarding deduction and auto renewal" and they bluntly refused to pay back my balance.

                                      Further, when i ask to transfer to your supervisor or someone who really care about their customers, they bluntly refused to transfer and said do what you can you will not get your deducted balance back.

                                      Is this fare to dictate the customer money without their consent and using the service.

                                      Please suggest and help!
