      I'm complaining to them about the poor network issues in my locality since 4 months. But the network is being even worse. They are postponing the due date of issue solving at everytime I make a complaint about poor network. Please kindly look into this.

        Email sent to Airtel, no response form them, they continue to harass me and my family.
        Dear Airtel,

        I had like to bring to the attention of the responsible Office bearers @ Airtel on the irregularities/fraud in bill collection process.
        The Airtel executives are trying to extort money from me - to put it blank.

        Just to give back ground, I had cancelled my Broadband connection six months back, this after making multiple calls to Airtel making the outstanding payment on the broad band connection then and cancelling the connection. At first they refused to accept the cancellation of my broad band connection, quoting various procedural formalities, like call on such and such a date … make payment etc.

        Finally I managed to cancel my broad band connection multiple times. I have recorded few of my conversation with the executives.

        These executives keep calling me daily and disturbing me in my business/office hours. My self and and my family are under great stress and exposed to extreme harassment by the Airtel executives.

        I have good standing relationship with Airtel for over 30 years now. I am hopefull that this is Issue addressed at the earliest and bring back sanity.

        Thanks & Regards
        S.Vasudevan

            Hi,
            I recently swapped my existing sim with a new one as the existing one was throwing’invalid input’ error while inserting. But after 3 hour my existing sim stopped working and the new sim was not activated. After 12 hour when I tried, the new sim was not working. In fact the sim is undetectable. No network, no service nothing. I am working from home with that number. I am stuck now. Please help me on this. My alternate number is [protected](it is my brother’s number)

            Thanks,
            Satya

                Air-tel is bothering me pay for charity after paying the pending charges when I ported the number to Jio . I am not sure how many times you will ask me to pay pending charges. Is this some charity you are expecting? I have cleared the balance and paid the pending charges as per Air-tel. But why is that you are asking me to pay pending charges again. Why do you have to scam people with the threat that you will disconnect the service. I am sure that 42 rs per person will make a huge difference . Why not ask for alms directly than scamming people,

                I went to the payment link thinking I should donate you, and sadly payment link does not even work. How pathetic!!
                I tried paying using Google pay, amazon pay, phone pay and debit card details - nothing works ! Wow stone age

                Why do you advertise about customer care when you actually have none
                All crap automated system goes in circles and there are options only as per your convenience.

                Your chat system is bogus.
                I had one air-tel postpaid number that I saved before . I have called that number : [protected] and one senseless man told me to search for the customer care number in google and dial. Hilarious !
                On what criteria do you hire people ? Is it based on cow-dung n the head?
                I have screenshots on how your payment links failure.

                Give me an explanation why you require the pending charges when this was already paid. I NEED a response.

                  Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 1799 and had activated a pack for next 365 days.

                  Next using 'phone pe' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 2999 and pack for next 365 days.

                  I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

                  Now they were not ready to refund it as it was done through third party app g pay
                  ) where in they were ready to refund it if was done through airtel app.

                  Does it make sense?? No matter how you pay money i was paying it to airtel.

                  Kindly look into this at the earliest and i am ready to provide you all yhe the transaction details as i want to find a solution for this by having the money refunded.

                  Thank you.

                      During covid 19 lockdowns & after that in punjab all toll plazas were closed by farmer protest. Airtel closed my wallet & marked as dormant account .
                      Now am unable to recharge my fastag because it is linked with wallet & now fastag is marked as blacklisted also it shows pending payments of 170 rs at toll plazas.. Customer care executives didn't provide well information about reactivation. They said u have to go at pos of airtel payments bank & open a savings account . I don't want another bank account... Also in my city there is no pos of airtrl.. They said it is closef by airtel...Worst ever service by airtel 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎ð�...

                            Hello,
                            To make it more clearer I'm writing again as I called and complained Airtel as usual to no avial.
                            My number is[protected] and caller id shows Khandwa, Madhyapradesh to the whole world, but it was purchased in Bangalore. Please make sure you override what ever it shows in Airtel/Truecaller to show Bangalore, Karnataka.
                            Hello,
                            Many Airtel customer service say sim shows Karnataka, but it shows Khandwa, Madhyapradesh. It is been more than 4 months. Can someone fix this?

                                  Not sure why airtel is doing this? No any airtel number is able to call me on my number [protected] (VI Network). All other network providers working well tried JIO and VI users, they are able to call me, but unfortunately airtel users getting “Invalid number” message when they try to call me.

                                  Note: I’m VI user and able to call on any network provider user tried JIO, VI as well as airtel too, I’m able to call airtel users but they can’t.
