Its been 3-4 months now i am suffering because of airtel, every month after the bill generation i have to call for rectification on the bill they sent, at times i also had to walk in to the airtel office for help, but end of the day the result is still zero.
Now from past 2 weeks internet is not working even after multiple complains to 198, 121, walk in to the stores, problem remains same. Y should i pay the bill wen my phone internet is not at all working for more then 15 days, y should only i suffer for no mistake of mine? I don't know how if this complain will help or not, its just i am trying one more option. As i am done complaining.
I got to know now its only consumers who needs to suffer end of the day. From both side.
Can i also understand without my number and email id how will you get to know if my complain is valid or not?

    My recharge my mobile no with 399 recharge. Under this recharge they were offering unlimited talktime bt when i call airtel executive. They were telling that it's not unlimited plan. As they were offering only 250 minutes per day... And they telling that there were some terms and conditions. No doubt under this plan there's written the terms and conditions apply... But airtel send me daily 20-30 texts repeating same message dat recharge with 399 get unlimited talktime and data for 70 days. So could not they send us single one message with clear plan. And if we search this plan on airtel website. No website is explaining this terms and conditions except there customer executive. So in future if we want to recharge we should have to call customer executive and tell them dat this plan am going to recharge, plz tell me the details.
    If they are not giving us unlimited things then why they were using this unlimited word in their plan just to confuse the customer. Please take into this issue it's not only my problem it's problem of thousands of customers who were daily get into the trap.

      Hi,
      I have been call many time your customer care no. 121 for network issue, but your team told me that your sim card are not working and disconnect my call.
      If any issue in my sim card then why in other place this is working. They have not registered my complaint regarding net work issue.
      My airtel no [protected] also show "no service" if we have in our home school block shakarpur, but in other place show full net work.

        I requested for surrender of my digital tv connection in the month of may, 2017. Company said they do not take away dish, set top box and remote, and since i do not have very less money in subscription account, there is no refund, and there is no security deposit to be refunded. My connection was apparently closed.

        Despite repetitive emails, i still keep receiving phone calls for various promotional packages. I've the trail of all the communications and its annoying.

          I have paid 1000rs for installation but Airtel denied connection and then in return they only paid back 500. I have dropped so many emails to them but either they dont reply or if reply they say that there is no record of transaction with me. I have shared with the picture of receipt the guy who came to collect money had given me.

              My name is atri dave and i applied for new airtel broadband connection at my home on 11/9/2017. A person comes to my place on the next day (I, e 12/9/2017). He told me that connection is absolutely feasible at your place sir so i gave him photocopy of my aadhaar card as document proof and cheque of rs. 2475. 1 days after (I, e 13/9/2017) he told me that sir i cannot process your connection as there is no feasibility in your area. He told me he will return the document and cheque by 15/9/2017, friday. Obviously he din't show up, instead he promised me to to get back by monday, 18/9/2017.

              On monday when i called him that he has lost photocopy of my aadhaar card in his office so he will not be able to return the cheque as well. I called him daily thereafter as i lost my sleep because i was told that my aadhaar card details are lost somewhere and might be in some unsafe hands. Till date i have not got any trails on my lost aadhaar card photocopy and cheque of rs. 2475. The cef no. 7903006 was allotted to me as it says in the form. Dharmesh was the name of the person who collected the cheque. Further details can be seen in the photo of the enrollment form. I kindly request the team airtel to do something about it.

                          As i got msg from airtal, i went to a retailer for upgrading my airtel sim to 4g. They took 40rs for upgrading the sim. But airtel said that it is for free upto 25sept, when i said why you are taking money, they do not reply anything, just said we take 40rs for upgradation. A reputed company like airtal should take necessary action. Retailers name.. Subal dutta/charali/p. O... Digboi/pin..786171. Plz take necessary action.

                          earlier they didnot mention about the 3G / 4G conversion now saying to convert it to 4G .
                          if i would have 4G set i would have taken jio na why would i purchase airtel plans

                            If you all are airtel not interested in giving my cashback then please tell me and stop giving fake offers to attract users.. All your executives at airtel bank have such a casual attitude that they only fool around innocent users.. [protected] is my registered no. Now it seems that you all have started a new business to fool and cheat innocent users...

                                There has be no resolution provided to me till dat even after my continous follow ups.

                                      I purchased a broadbband connection on sep 21, 2017 (Sim number [protected]) from airtel store at arenja corner, sector 17, vashi, navi mumbai. I submitted photocopy of my passport and pan card and showed original for verification. I was told that there will be a surprise verification at my residence. At 9.15 am today (Sep 22, 2017), a man came to my flat. He said he was from airtel and asked for my id proof. His general tone was very rude. I gave him my passport and he immediately took photos of it on his personal phone. I was surprised and asked him for his id proof. He showed me his airtel id. When i started to take photo of his id from my phone, he became very rude and told me this is not allowed and his will cancel/disconnect my account. He then said he will put my account on hold and said he would delete my passport photos from his phone. He pressed some buttons on his phone showing me he was doing so, but i was not sure what he did. As i was still speaking to him, he rushed off. Firstly, he was extremely rude and unprofessional. Secondly, taking photos of a government-issued id on a personal phone is not proper procedure and airtel should not do this. When i have already submitted all documents in person, what is the need for such a protocol. Thirdly, if they can take photos of my id on their personal phone, why can't i take a photo of their id on my personal phone. Horrible experience.

                                      I took my complaint to the Airtel office (Arenja Corner, Sector 17, Vashi) on Sep 22, 2017. I explained to the staff in detail that the verification officer had threatened to cancel my connection. When they checked, he had indeed not approved the connection. They had to override his hold to approve my connection. It is unacceptable that in spite of me being present at my address with my ID proof (which is all an address verification is), he did not approve the connection. The Airtel staff told me that verification is done by a third party and they do not control it. Upon request and 2 visits to their office, they found out that the verification officer's name is Nilesh Chauhan. This was provided to me by Pawan, an Airtel employee at the office. My complaint is based on the following; 1) Customers cannot be harassed and threatened rudely like this. 2) Connections cannot be put on hold or canceled arbitrarily 3) If a customer's ID is being photographed, the verification officer should also be willing to submit to his ID getting photographed.
