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 👍

Today on 13th sep 2017. I visited airtel store, sangvi, pune to link aadharno to my mobile [protected]. There i got registered with my aadhar no and thumb impression. I got message aadhar link will be done in 48 hrs & informed by sms. But additionally without my permission they activated airtel payment bank account. I got sms about that. I called customer care 121. Talked to vidysagar. He said he can't close account. He told me to call on 400. I called on the no. But ivr is asking me for mpin change and no person to talk there.
I am requesting please deactive my airtel payment bank account

Thanks

Hi,

I happen to receive a call from an airtel rep from the number - +[protected] from some airtel office in kolkata, india. The guy calling had been offering me a plan of airtel postpaid, but i was surprised with the way the guy informed me i wasted his time when i asked him that i shall call back once i am free. I work in accenture (It field) and we are engaged in meetings, so i requested if i can callback later, but to my surprise i was provided a horrible response from the rep. When i asked his details, he said what would i do collecting his information? Is this kind of a service provided by airtel to customers? Its simply horrible and i never plan to switch to airtel or refer my colleagues to use it ever after such horrible service.

Take a look into it and train these # calling and harassing people.

A few weeks back, i encountered a problem with airtel sim. It was no longer detected by any mobile devices. I went to service center that issued me another sim on 9 sep 2017. Though my phone now is able to detect the sim, this time i am not receiving any signal. I am getting error: cannot connect to network. I now notice that the sim is of 4g (128k), the previous one was of 64k.
As per the service center, the sim should have started working within 24 hrs. It's been 4 days now i am not able to get any signal.
When i tried to set the network connect manually, it shows: selected network (Ind airtel) unavailable. When i tried to do automatic setting, it says that your sim card doesn't allow to connect to this network. Is there any work-around? I complained earlier in your website. Your solution did not work.

I am an airtel secure subscriber since 16/07/2017. On the 28th of august i dropped my phone accidentally while picking it up from my bedside table and the screen cracked. I logged my claim with airtel secure. (Service request #2293204) i had to upload my documents at least 6 times before i could submit the claim. Even after giving the true description of the event they called me and told me that my claim is pending because the description is incomplete. Still i tried again and filled up the description in more detail and after that i was prompted to upload a picture of the sim tray. Now i am getting tired of this whole exercise and am beginning to feel cheated as they are just making me jump loops unnecessarily. Please get this sorted soon or i will have to file a claim in the consumer courts.

Is the only job of airtel is to continually annoy a customer? To pratice fraud and trickery to retain their customers? I has applied for airtel porting from haridwar to chennai circle. Thereafter, i visited the airtel store at tiruvottiyur some 10 times. I also called airtel customer care some innumerable times, where i was everytime put on hold for 15 mins, some even threatened not to listen n disconnect when my voice went a bit louder (Which is obvious in my situation). I am on roaming for the last 2 mnths, and i now sense this organisation as a complete liar. No reason can now justify the behaviour of the organisation, and that too for so long. I have lost my cool. Kindly look into the matter.

I have been overcharged for my previous month postpaid bill amount. More over my bill amount is different in the text message being received to that of the one displayed in the portal. Airtel is cheating its customer.

Besides this issue, i have a current plan of 425 local+std wherein i have used only 209 min but ts been shown as overusage. Don't understand what these people really mean when i have balance minutes left and its been shown as overusage in the portal and being overcharged.

Kindly look into the matter.
Early response would be appreciated..

Didn't expect such things from airtel.
Attaching screenshots of my usage graph as per the portal for better understanding.

I don't even know what is this thing never subscribed for it, yet 5 rupees was being deducted from my account daily. I feel like cheated by airtel to loot money from me happened before also like subscriptions that we don't have an idea about. These people know very well on how to cheat customers and they don't hesitate to do it without any shame. Have been using airtel for more than 7 years and had many experiences like unsubscribed callertunes and other stuff that i can't recall. Regrets choosing airtel for my service.

As i'm the post paid customer in airtel since 2012, i'm very much irritated on this service.
As per the offer given to my number.. I need to get 26gb data every month. But from 2 months they are suffering me with their issues,, and i have been complaining them so many times but the response is very poor.
Every time i'm raising complaint to their higher team, but the response is very poor. And this month i sent so many mails regarding my issue,, till now there is even no reply to my mails..
So please provide me some proper justice with this disgusting network.

Airtel is just cheating the customers with fake ads,

They called me and says subscribe airtel secure for damage and liquid damage they didn't tell about damage classes

No body intentionally break their phones how the company rejects claim by saying improper handling,

Company says every thing is improper handling and
There is a language communication problem with telugu customers

How can they apply for claim with improper knowledge should provide telugu customer care executives

Airtel secure rejects claims by the name of insurance company, this is totally manipulation to collect money from people which company loss due to jio network

Company cheating customers with their knowledge
