Good! Airtel values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Airtel step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

Dear airtel india,

We are happy customers who are with airtel since last 12 year. But since last 2 months we are facing a lot of trouble. Especially when we are calling on any up east airtel number. Like to ballia district. Because of this issue i am not able to make a single call to my parents. As they are also using airtel number. For other operator number we are able to make call easily.

I complain to tamil nadu airtel customer care, so they are not able to resolve this issue. Apart from that i complain on twitter also, but unfortunately i did not get any reply from there also.

Response: temporarily out of service.

We had airtel official come to our corporate office and check for 4g availability and after the application of airtel 4g wifi we have had several issues with speed and slowing of internet. The router would stop working every several minutes and would get back on track only if is restarted from the main switch. This has made us miserable of having this connection and have complained to airtel several times - in store, online offline but they still have not sent any of their engineers as promised by the store. Later we sought to facebook as a mean to connect to them and attached below is our communication with them. Please mark the date other details that they have confidently mentioned but have failed to follow up. We have got our old internet connection back and are now wanting to be fully refunded for the wifi 4 router. We are also liable for compensation for loss of business (Due to inactive internet connection) / unsatisfactory services and mental harassment due to lack of customer support and useful information in dealing with a long pending situation like this.

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,

â‚¹399 airtel prepaid plan is not showing in the available plans. Hence last month also recharged with â‚¹349. But once the transaction is complete, i can see â‚¹399 is visible in available list. Hence airtel is only showing â‚¹399 plan, when i donâ€™t require and they are not showing when i require (On last day of my existing plan).
Itâ€™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.

I have registered port from tata docomo to airtel in this process docomo signal has been disconnected and to activate to airtel they need to verify details but they are not verifying it and they are not even responding in a correct manner saying activate yourself by online if you can.

Itâ€™s been 3 without mobile i have literally begged to provide atleast incoming service but they arenâ€™t. Its affecting because in 2 days there is a marriage in my home and so many members, relatives calling to my number i have literally going crazy

Please register complaint against airtel and i kindly request you to take action immediately on airtel services

We paid our prepaid mobile bill through my airtel app yesterday and later we received a message saying that the bill has been cancelled. The message included a link saying to retry. After retrying we received a message saying successfully transactions done and it also said the money will be credited to acc in 48hrs. Amount was deducted twice and still the internet isn't working.

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.
