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 👍

Taken 75mbps connection - from day 1 only getting below 20mbps. Inspite of multiple complaints at 121 nothing changed. Since i have already paid upfront 3000/- for 3 months they don't care. Terrible after sale service and customer care. Airtel should be called no 1 company in successfully cheating crores of indian people. Now the speed is below 10mbps..

When i call customer care the complaints is simply closed without any update saying issue is resolved!!

I have ported my airtel sim from airtel post paid to airtel prepaid. I am getting the signal bars on the new sim card so i tried to activate the sim.
It's been weeks since i have been calling on 59059 for tele verification and activation but all i am being responded is with some advertisement of services.

Please help me in activating my sim

Thanks
A narendra

Hi,
Name - dawood baig
Mobile number - [protected]
Email - [protected]@gmail.com

Issue :
My issue is that i am getting too much bill amount. My monthly plan is 499.
I am facing this issue since last 3 months, that is july, august, september.
My july bill was 1310
August - 1365.92
September - 3042.93

They are charging extra bill amount and when i called to the customer service they said you have used the internet but the thing is that i haven't used the internet too much.

For this issue, i have called multiple times to the customer care and also i went gallery regarding this issue they are stating that your pdf file is not yet generated. Since last 2 months when i call they said still your pdf file is not generated and they are saying that due to the internet usage there is a charge but i haven't used that amount of data.

So my concern is that when will my issue get solved. I also want to port my company and due to airtel bad service still, my issue is not solved.

You can also check my call recording and all & if you have any query you can call me anytime.

This for airtel notification and my personal records. I have requested them to disconnect my airtel broadband and landline number today at 6:08 pm. Same has been accepted by their customer support executive with disconnection id:87892080. They have also confirmed that billing will stop from today on 18th sept 2017 and complete disconnection will be processed in next 7 days. I am putting this note on this forum as they have cheated with me last time after requesting them to disconnect they have still generated bill for one month which later they have accepted as their mistake after i published here on this page. Airtel please acknowledge the receipt of disconnection request here..

I am receiving threat calls post my cancellation of 4g service. I had paid upfront the charges for first three months and decided to close down due to poor service, customer service as well as data bandwidth in our area. There were some freebees offered for data addition for which some charge was added by mistake which i was assured that would be taken away.

I got a threatening call today (18th sept 2017 monday) again, sating that a warrant has been issued for non payment of some 1000 odd inr (65000 bailable and police will come any time and arrest me!) and the case would be in delhi court only.

I mentioned i did not receive anything in writing on which he said the courier came back undelivered, surprising because indian post leaves a note on door and private couriers call on mobile. None of which was a reality.

I had to write n number of emails for disconnectivity, i also received some strange bill of 70000 in between which was nullified after many request.

And now this!!!

My recharge of airtel digital tv [protected] lasts for only 14 to 15 days for rs. 200. I cannot change this plan. How can some channels so that recharge of rs. 200 to 250 lasts for a whole 1 month or i should opt for a cable line? I want to take some news, cartoon channels along with the regional channels (Bengali). I want to keep discovery. Nat geography, and some hindi movie channels.

I have been using my present no from 2003 and i am not ready to change my number. As i am getting very bad voice and data service from airtel for the last couple of months and not getting the problem solved after repeated complaints to airtel i have decided to port out of airtel. For the last 2 weeks i have been repeatedly sending porting requests to 1900 and following all the procedures correctly but i am not getting and sms in return. My bill with airtel is clear and i have been in airtel for the last 8 months but still i am not getting my porting code even after multiple attempts. When i called airtel customer care they are reluctant to help me in this regard. My no is [protected]. Kindly inform me if there is any other way to receive the porting code other than sms as i think airtel is blocking my porting sms or something like that.
Please tell me what to do to port out of this fraud telecom service called airtel.

I have been converted my airtel post paid number to airtel prepaid number since last year. Till then i could not able to recharge my prepaid number through online. I have called multiple times during last year months to customer care to resolve this issue, but no solution from their end. Even i mailed to [protected]@airtel.in several time, but no reply from their end.

On 16 sept 2017 i have done payment through my registered mobile number [protected] towards my fathers bsnl number [protected] of rs. 845/- but still there is no confirmation received on my fathers mobile number. Even bill still stands for rs. 845/-

I taught to airtel money care and they asked wait for 48 hrs if payment not done then it will be refunded you soon.

My question is what about if bill payment being late..?
And why should i wait for 48 hrs...?
Why did your team start bill payment to other operator if they can't..
Really disappointed airtel money.
I have alot to say but due to busy schedule i have very less time to talk.
Increase your services.
Beat jio then do rumors that fastest network is airtel.
