To

The senior manager,
Airtel

I arshia akheel, mob - [protected] and [protected], wishes to inform you that since 24th august 2017 my number [protected] has not been able to access the airtell cellular network.

I had the first sim change on 24th august 2017 at the mehdipatnam airtel branch. It didnot work after the required four hours of activation.

Then when i went back and complained they sent me to airtel service center, towlichowki, saying that this is a direct airtel service center hence they will help to activate the network.

This service center instead of checking the why the network is not acessible on my sim has given me another sim. The second sim change was done on 26th august with the same result.

Again on going back to the service centre instead of checking why the error is occurring they have changed the sim saying that the sim was damaged.

A third sim and five hours of waiting on 28th august has still not resulted in activating my number. You should have a technical team person at each service center to resolve such issues.

I have been going to airtel service centre 4 times in the last five days. This is harassment, they make me wait and wait and then give me new sim saying that it will get activated after 4 hours, i will have to wait.

This number is important to me and i request you to please look into into this matter urgently and resolve the issue. How can three sim's be damaged, what is the material being supplied. Something is not right.

I want my number [protected] working immediately. Kindly look into the matter.

A. Akheel

    I have been trying to get airtel broadband connection for past 1 year, yet airtel is not ready to provide connection to my street saying the connection box is full and those.

    I have tried so many times requesting and by submitting the documents the say it's under processing and you will get your connection and after few days they are saying they won't be able to pull the wires across the street.

    I'm not sure why airtel isn't bothered about provided connection to the long awaiting customers where the available connection is just 50-100m away from my street.

    Please look into this issue and provide me the new broadband connection.

    Following are my details, kindly get in touch with me if you could resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.

      I recharged my mobile airtel prepaid number [protected] at morning near 11.30am through net banking of kotak mahindra bank for full talktime of amount of rs.260. Within few minutes i received the message from bank debited the amount of rs.260. But i have not received any feedback or message of balance recharge from airtel. I tried calling customer care to talk to executive. But after selecting proper option when i select for executive it says "you had selected wrong option". I tried this 5 to 6 times. Finally after disappointment i mailed a complaint to airtel at [protected]@in. Airtel.com at afternoon 1.31pm. After that i have not received my call from airtel but after few hours at 02.50pm i received a text message from airtel saying "thank you for contacting your issues got resolved" (Please find attachement). But infact their was no calls from airtel. How is this possible. Therefore again i mailed them at night after office at 11.33pm. Still no reply from airtel. Please help me getting my valuable amount of rs. 260.

        I have recharged the mobile no [protected] on 2oth August with Rs 244 scheme, which state to give unlimited local/std calls for Airtel to Airtel and 1 GB 3G/4G per day for 70 days.
        But the I am getting only 1 GB for 28 days and even validity of free talk time for 28 days only.
        It is fraud.

            I am facing lot of call drops because of very poor signal strength inside the house in a city
            When complained to airtel they always say that they are working on the problem but never do they work
            And one more dumb answer they give is that they tried to contact me but they could not connect. If there is no network signal at all at home, how can they contact me through call. They have to send a site engineer but they never did.

                  Airtel games club service has been automatically activated by airtel and deducted balance of rs 95. I am very well aware that this service is not subscribe by my from any of the method but when i spoke to customer care executive they said you have activated this via web interface when i asked him about the confirmation message of this from my side he became blank and said we don't have that's all evidence and refuse to return balance. I asked him how anyone has access to deduct my main balance without confirmation he has no answer. Why airtel default allow any service to get my balance. This kind of cheap activity is done by airtel in my broadband and mobile once jio come's into the picture. Airtel is not able to maintain healthy competitions.

                    Airtel keeps subscribing me to services such as spuulmovies, videostore and now modelmaniaw, last two costing rs. 35 each, without my consent.
                    I had send a stop sms to stop the spuulmovies the day i first started getting these services, unfortunately two days later they deducted another rs.60. As renewed services. So it's about a total of rs. 142 that i have been charged in the last three months for services i never claimed or used.

                    It's such a shame that this keeps happening over and over again. I really want this thing to be resolved it keeps eating my money every single time i recharge.
                    Airtel never offer the money back, but keeps taking it.

                        Dear sir/madam,

                        For the past two weeks my postpaid connection got down and i could not browse or chat using social networks. I have made several complaints but no proper response from airtel customer support team. Recently i ported my number from vodafone to airtel due to the same issue but upon changing my network to airtel it is very clear that no service provider is giving good or proper responses to the customers. Government should take appropriate action against such company

                        Hoping some help by posting my complaint into this forum.

                        Thank you
                        Srinivasan v.

                            I am kirtesh solanki from karnataka. My mobile number [protected]. I was briefed about the plan by airtel supervisor named mr. Madhu of 499 monthly which includes 25 gb per month n unlimited calls. But i got only 5 gb and after calling airtel customer care 121 nearly around 40 50 times still there was no response from them. So i dint make payment for 3 months as i wanted the plan which i was offered. Then i visited the airtel store after 3 months of complaining. The same person madhu said ul have to pay full amount of 3 months and when i objected about the plan he started speaking abusive language. Now my number is suspended and i am bein charged for 25 gb every month which i never got. Kindly active my suspended number and give the offered plan and take strict action against mr. Madhu from koppikar road branch, hubli (Karnataka) for using abusive language

                              Airtel has been deducting balance from my prepaid sim by subscribing me for their services which i didn't even ask for.
                              Name of service: modelmaniaw
                              Amount lost: 35*3 = ₹105
                              Even after manually unsubscribing from the service, they sent me a message saying that i had opted for this service. Airtel should stop charging me for this!
                              I demand all the money to be recompensated in my account!

                                I am still looking for response on this issue.

                                It has been more than 10 days i have made the payment. However instead of activation of service i am receiving emails for payment due.

                                Seems people working with airtel are no aware of the amounts that client's needs to pay. They quote any amount as per their wish and post the payment is made they demand for more money.

                                Again reiterating i was told that the monthly rental along with late fees will be waved off and if i pay inr1200/- number will be activated.

                                Thank you,
