Upgraded to a 4g simcard today. The old sim was deactivated after receiving a message stating my new 4g sim is now active. But, both the simcard aren't working now. Waiting for hours in vain. Why does this company give false advertisements about their services. Also, there isn't an option to connect to it's customer care executive through airtel prepaid number

    Even after complaint by phone, network issue and 4g speed issue is yet not resolved on my number.
    I have done recharge of rs 399. Means 1 gb everyday.
    But, due to slow net, sometimes like 2g... Not unable to use 4g speed and loosing most of the data everyday.
    Fastest network is it?
    Once during the complaint, i was informed that in my area 4g not set yet, then why offering scemes to recharge with...?
    Why showing 4g in header? But no speed.
    Should i accept that in the name 1gb everyday, lots of cheating is being done.
    Apart from that, it is a long journey to reach to customer care representative on 198... By clicking lots of numbers?
    The so called fastest network, at this moment, while writing, not able to open airtel open network link???
    How far is to good by not providing the complete benefits for the paid amount.???

        I wanted to convert my postpaid sim into prepaid and i submitted my request with all documents at airtel store in samalkha haryana on 30/08/2017. They took 250 rupees from me telling it my postpaid bill and additional 130 rupees for the new prepaid sim. Till now my request has not been forwarded by them nor the 250 rupees been credited to my bill. Again they callled me on 08/09/2017 and told me to credit extra rs.50 as my pending postpaid bill. Moreover they are not issuing any form of bill for the payments made by me towards them of rs.250 and 130. They are just maintaing a manual register for the payments and i doubt if they had made that entry for my bills in that register also. Please look into the matter as its the case of harrassing a customer and extortion o[censored]ndue money for him.

            I was using a airtel prepaid sim till last two weeks. My sim suddenly out of nowhere started to show no service. Went to airtel store. They said i will have to make my phone postpaid. I agreed and submitted required documents. Now they said the verification team will reach at address given. But it has been 1 full week they have not turned at the desired address giving silly reasons. My phone is off since 2 weeks now and i am helpless. Airtel should take care of this as i have been a loyal customer since almost 10 years now.

              I really request you from my heart please give me final call for what is going on regarding my airtel number, i have already complaint number of times to you but you are directly closed my complaints without notice.
              I have registered complaints on 25 aug - po[protected], on 29 aug - po[protected], po[protected], po[protected], on 30 aug - po[protected].
              And now all complaints are closed without notice by call, sms or mail.

              If i talked with customer care they are using unprofessional language, calling for remaining rs.16 payment and not call to solve for my network problem.

              I want to file case in consumer court against airtel network, please guide me.

              All customer care are not taking network issues seriously, they are talking and just attend customers and not taking any actions.
              sometimes I found If i want to call some one in urgent basis, You need too try to call upto 30 min, or more than 100 times, also you can not call to airtel customer care.

                I have registered for airtel secure plan for rs. 79 pm. On 14 aug i have raised a claim since then, airtel is just delaying the process. Initially, they said that my documents were not uploaded, although i have uploaded many times, the same documents are visible on 3rd party insurance partner's website, but airtel is denying that documents are not uploaded.

                I have bought the phone along with a laptop so the entire amount goes above a lakh, hence again a silly excuse and lame reason that you haven't billed separately. I am tired of calling and chasing airtel for the claim. I have been emailing ceo, managing directors and all still no action.

                Just for sympathy they will call only once, and after that no call if the customer cannot pick up. Fed of their lame excused and irresponsible behavior. Initially i have been committed for 21 days, which got over week back, still, am waiting for help.

                Finally, a person connected and said i need to provide a document saying that i m the rightful owner, i asked that person to send me email id and he agreed to send me required details but that person vanished and m still waiting for the call. I am ideal to sit in front of the phone and see when your call comes.

                I ill be waiting for a week, after that, i am compelled to seek a legal solution.

                  Hi!

                  This has reference to the airtel broadband service at our place bearing contact#[protected]. We got this broadband connection installed on 28th july 2017. Within one month, the line got disrupted and we have not been able to receive calls or access the internet service. The same was reported to the airtel customer care for restoration on 5th september 2017 at 4.30pm. They got the complaint registered at their end and shared a sr# 87313996 with us for further follow up and also guaranteed us to fix the issue within 48 hour time. A field engineer named mr. Tamil called us from [protected] who also visited the site the same day evening to diagnose the problem. He identified the problem and informed us that the cable beneath the road is cut and hence, the phone line is not working. He also confirmed that a service engineer shall visit the site the next day and get the same fixed. However, time passed by and no one came to restore the connection. We kept following the customer care regularly but every time the customer care had the same answer for us that is “we will fix the issue in 48 hours!” and they had no clue whether the service team is working or not to fix the issue. On 6th september, we kept calling mr. Tamil frequently but he did not respond to any of our call. As tamil did not respond to our call, we contacted airtel customer care to find out the status of the complaint and heard from mr. Anbu, who introduced himself as the manager, that the internet problem is prevailing across chennai and that he shall not be able to confirm us the deadline to restore the connection. Next day, somehow got connected to mr. Tamil, over phone but from a new mobile number. Once again he assured us that the connection will be restored by end of the day and no one turned up this time as well. Have discussed with mr. Tamil today but i am not sure whether he will resolve the issue or not.

                  Most of our work is online based and without internet we get immobile. I request airtel team to consider this matter as a matter o[censored]tmost importance and resolve it immediately.

                  Regards,
                  Venkatesh r

                    I have recharged the amount of 147 but got 500 mb.. I contacted customer service. They havent got any resolution at all. Always asked me to wait. Very poor customer service and company is scamming people. They advertise the one which they cannot provide. Seriously will port out the number soon from this company. Please take action against this company. Airtel management is very poor. They call themselves as fastest network. They are poor and its 4g is also weak. People are being misleaded and are advertsement are thrown to market without proper implementation of service. A cool person will also get frustrated when his or her money is being considered as lost.

                            I had recharged my mobile on 4thjuly17 with rs.399 and by mistake had recharged it twice.in last week of july i could not make calls for 7-8days. I called customer care and enquired about the plan and was told that it was unlimited calls for 84 days and its last date will be 1st oct., double recharge cannot be considered, thats ok. Now since 28aug. I am told there is no balance. I called customercare on 1st sept. And was told there was some technical problem and call services will start within 4 hours. But no servce next day also, again i called customercare and was told that there was no balance. When i asked about the plan he said that plan is for 84 days but was not applicable on my number. How can the same plan be different for different nos. I want full 84days service.

                              I received a message congratulating me on activating red chillies service and that 99 rupees was charged on my account.
                              Here are some facts
                              1. The service was started without any prior communication regarding the same on my phone.
                              2. This is a case of fraudulent use of my personal account on airtel which is a criminal offence
                              3. Either this malpractice has been done by airtel or its affiliates.
                              4. I need written proof that i have not been charged the said amount or i will personally file a criminal complaint on this

                                  Hi, got a corporate postpaid plan registered in airtel until last month it was put on a request for converting to prepaid from an authentic airtel store in r_a, kolkata, wb as required for not bearing the additional roaming costs anymore since the circle previously belonged to chennai, tamil nadu (Now put to change to kolkata, west bengal) to minimize the excessive billing of the postpaid a/c and sudden snapping off the network facilities (New bill cycle date to mid-july) for late payments previously. Now the last month of the payment for postpaid bill has already been dealt with, yet i am receiving anonymous calls from chennai regarding issuance of legal notice from high court by the party under payment dues and imposed fine of rs3k + which is neither fair not legitimate. This is the second time i am dealing with a similar consequence. I want to take immediate actions regarding this and terminate all further relations with airtel on this postpaid number#9*1. Even after the promise to activate the account within four days, at max, to the requested prepaid plan, still placing calls it is showing "not registered on network" even though there is visible tower (Maximum).

                                        Airtel — airtel services reduced the recharge balance zero without using separate net pack

                                        Respected sir/madam,
                                        My balance was zero without using mobile net services. I have put separate net pack for one month on 11th august 2017. After one month separate net pack is over.
                                        By mistake i kept settings data connection on of airtel at 15th september 2017 where my separate data net pack over. You can check data usage or calculate by how much the person exactly operated or use internet on the mobile. You could have stop the net by giving message even though when data connection is on, or stop the net on mobile instead of keeping recharge balance zero. This mistake was repeated four or five times, otherwise i would stop using airtel services and go to other mobile services. Please refund my balance ie. Rs 193.85 or add in my mobile wallet very soon. Do not cheat the customer, as airtel is reputation company.
                                        Please do the needfull and take it seriously.
                                        Thanking you,
                                        Yours faithfully,
