Recently Airtel provided the offer to its DTH customers to upgrade to extreme set-up box. I opted for it and raised a request to upgrade to this new set-up box. But its now been more than two months but they did not resolve the issue. I contacted their customer care many times but all they could say was they would resolve the issue in another 48 hrs. So far it doesn't seem like they will resolve this ticket. If they are not willing to provide the box, at least they could inform and close the ticket. Its unacceptable that the reputed companies like Airtel behaving in this manner. I thought to get the broadband from them but now decided to stick to ACT for their excellent customer support. Thank you Airtel for your appreciated customer service.

    Hi,

    I am using my Airtel Prepaid connection as primary sim on my Iphone 12 mini. Everytime I make a call from my phone to any number, it says "It looks like you're dialing a wrong number..." and then disconnects.

    After retrying several times, sometimes the call gets connected. This issue is going on for months now and I have already reached out to Airtel Customer Support, but they didn't help much.

    Need a quick resolution on it.

      Address: Hyderabad, Telangana

      Dear TRAI Team,

      Thank you providing the forum to address the issues faced.

      I paid 2118 Rs for Airtel DTH connection in Kondapur, Hyderabad on Feb 9th 2022.
      Raised multiple complaints to resolve the issue but airtel Team couldn’t resolve issue in time. And asked me to wait for 1 month more to try and test with a new setup box. As i was not interested to wait for a month for resolving the issue. I have choosen to go for suspension by Feb 14th 2022.
      Due to non satisfactory services, raised a request for suspension of Airtel DTH services.. and was asked to call back after a month to process the refund.
      When i called on March 14th 2022. They are asking me to call them after a year i.e. 9th Frb 2023. Astonished to hear this from Airtel.
      We request you to kindly address the issue in processing the refund from Airtel DTH Team.
      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
      So far no resolution received from Airtel DTH team. I tried to call the customer care asking for the refund but still they are saying the same thing that back End Team will call me and give resolution. But back team after calling saying the same thing that i will not get any refund and do not qualify for refund. I do not understand what qualifications do i need to get my money back for unsatisfactory services provided by airtel. I tried to get in touch with airtel dth technician as well to recheck if he can fix the issue. To my surprise he is repeating the same thing that i will not get good picture quality and that’s how airtel dth quality is and asked to get in touch with customer care. This is going on in a never ending loop. Neither they refund the money nor resolve the issue. They are literally harassing me and my family. Am spending my valuable time in coordinating with customer care team almost daily.
      Kindly help me in resolving the issue as soon as possible please.
      I believe there is loop hole in airtel dth that faulty setup box will be given to customers so that the setup cannot be taken back and Airtel policy is in such a way that they can do nothing. Airtel dth Team needs to closely look in to the issue and try to cover the loophole as soon as possible.

        Talktime got deducted, not receiving OTP

        I'm using Airtel service for so many years. From January my sim suddenly got disconnected and I'm not receiving any message or OTP though I'm recharging with monthly pack. This month i did 200 talktime recharge for 200 and activated 209 pack for receiving OTP but still I didn't receive any message or OTP. My talktime 200 got deducted on 13.3.2022 without any message and while checking Airtel app it's showing deduction reason is using internet...

        I recharged Airtel Truly Unlimited Plan Rs839 and as mentioned in the offer prepaid recharge of Rs 839 will get 50% cashback upto RS 40 on the first transaction through Airtel payments Bank and it was also my first transaction but still I didn't get any cashback as mentioned. Look into this matter as soon as possible.

              The last communication I had with one of customer care executives was on 7-Feb-2022 and her name is Priyanshu Soni, and she mentioned that there is a site planned in my area and the engineers team will contact you in a week.

              Neither I Contacted by anyone else nor any of the engineers visited my place as on date. I tried to reach them through various channels to know the progress/update but I did not receive any positive response as on date.

              Also, I tried to contact this [protected], initially they responded to my call but nowadays they are not receiving my call.

              Request your kind attention on this.

                I have been using Airtel postpaid connection (No:[protected] connected to my family no: [protected]).
                For the last four months, the calls service is very poor. Both sides of a call are always distracted. Unable to hear anything. Calls connections are also delayed.
                I have complained the same through the Airtel Thanks app but they take at least 15 days to answer the query or resolve the issue.
                I understand the administrative delays.
                However, my request to you is to direct the Airtel service provider not to charge the monthly rental charge from customers till the issue is resolved. Otherwise, I end up paying them for very limited usage of the connection.

                          I have used total 12 GB data in last 16tn days and airtel customer support says you have utilized complete 2GB daly data..

                            My all the calls are dropping since a month and no body takes the accountibility for this from their customer service, I am a customer with airtel since quiet a while and i hold 7 connections with them Inspite of multiple complaints my issue is never resolved. I lost my job because continuosly for a month i have faced network issues and every time they say it will be resolved in a month but it is not and eventually i lost my job as am in the calling profile and i work from home. I need a compensation as my 3 months salary from airtel to pay for my loss

                                  Sir/madam,
                                  I was in Bangalore from the month of aug 2021- Dec 2021 when I had used Airtel broadband service ONLY FOR A PERIOD OF 06 MONTHS TILL MONTH OF FEB 2022. I paid rs 3500 initially in the month of August. I was contacted by airtel service executive Mr Chetan [protected], [protected] in the month of August 2021 when I subscribed to your service who clearly said that ROUTER WAS FREE WITH THE SERVICE AND I CAN KEEP IT. if they insist I will give it back to them. I had put cancellation request thru mr Chetan and myself to the Airtel Back in DEC 2021. THE REQUEST WAS NEITHER ATTENDED TO NOR UPDATED. The service was autorenewed without my knowledge in Feb 2022 and I am being asked to pay up for the same an amount of rs 3533/- without my consent or knowledge. I will NOT PAY for the service I haven't used and which was IMPOSED ON ME without my KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. I have paid for 6 months service which I have used. I also want Airtel to refrain from contacting me regarding the same.
                                  Thank you
                                  Dr Subrahmanyan VR
