    Since january 2017 onwards by broadband billling increased largely. We do not know to talak with a humanbeing other than computer ivr. For the fear of disconnection, service interuption we have paid the amount. During this time i was sick and not able to move. When traveling posssibile i went to the kochi airtel office and registered a complaint no[protected].

    Broadband line [protected] was subscribed from june 2011. Since january 2017 my broadband bill was increased enormously. For my dismay i do not know the reason, but i would like to know.. I have paid the amount because of the fear of disconnection and i was sick and not able to stepin your customer centre.. On june 16 line disconnected and july 16th i have paid final bill rs 6600 saying that to get waiver of previous bill have to pay dues rs 6600.

    The amount charged since 2017 is

    21 april rs 6000
    23 april rs11500
    19 july rs 6600
    Dues 3886

    Total rs 27986 for six months so per month 4664.

    Before january the bill was only 3200/month there was an increase of average over 1450. I would like know why this increase because i am quite sure that the usage is not increased and you did not mention any tarif change also.
    This is to inform you that our goverment is with the coorporate and corporate got courage to loot people.

      Hi,

      I have ported [protected] from Airtel UP East to Airtel MP. I had done it by visiting an airtel store and getting the number ported online using my thumb impression. I had submitted all the necessary documents along with Rs 300.

      Last night, my earlier sim's network vanished. I inserted new sim (no.[protected]U) today morning at around 07:00 AM. Thereafter I dialled 59059 as instructed from Airtel. I received a message that the settings have been done and there is a need to restart the phone. After restarting, the network of new sim vanished. It has been more than 8 hours now and there is still no network.

      In the meantime, I called Airtel's extremely insensitive customer service guys by borrowing someone else' airtel number. Airtel's customer care executives are asking me to wait for two days. They are talking as if I have committed a huge mistake by calling them. My experience of talking to those customer care executives today has been more pathetic than my problem per se.

      It needs to be understood that my phone number is not working and I am very much dependent upon the same. I can not communicate to anyone and this has caused a lot of damages to me in last 15 hours

      Had this been known to me, I would have ported to other service providers but not Airtel, who very brazenly were waiting for me to lodge complaints to resolve the issue and asking me to wait for 2 days from the time of complaints.

      I am highly disappointed with Airtel's service, resolution to the problems I am facing and by their representatives who are putting all the efforts to annoy customers.

      I also talked to the airtel store, I had visited to port my number, but they also turned out to be in the same league as of your customer care.

      I will also highlight this issue on every possible forums.

      Thank you for being such a pain airtel.

        I have 2 networks. Unfortunately i take idea network to use the internet. Because of the low coverage of airtel network.in the first of this month i recharge my airtel network to enjoy the 'the biggest network of india' my bad luck airtel recharge is a trap. I can't use those things in my phone. And the customer executive behave really like bad and helpless. I hope a response from here. May be there is no favour response from this network. I would like to contact with trai. With all expectations still i am waiting for a good future experience with a'irtel'...

            My airtel broadband connection did not work on 6-7, 13-15 and on 18th of august a service engineer visited but the connection worked only for an hour after which it is not working till date. When i called the customer care they asked me call after 2 hours then they will take my complain. No body at the company is bothered to take up the call or get my connection working.in the month of august i am without internet for 9 days. I mailed my request to them but haven't received any reply from them. I am attaching my copy of my email send and i haven't received any confirmation from them in this regard.

            Connection details: airtel broadband account no: [protected]

            This is the mail i sent to them.

            Dear sir/ ma'am,
            I am an airtel broadband user for almost a year now and the the service quality has deteorated in the past month. My connection did not work from 6-7 then again on 12-15 and again on 17th. I made a complain a service engineer came it became functional for just an hour and since then my connection is not working. It's just 20th today and i have been without internet for 9 days in this month. I am fed up with your services you cannot provide me with proper internet connection for a single week. I called to make a complain today and they told me they cannot take my complain today. What am i supposed to do? Please can you tell me. I am regretting buying airtel connection. I pay you more than 1000 rs and you people cannot provide me working internet connection and forget about the speed. I bought a new modem for better speed but it is useless. Now i am asking people not to buy airtel because the service is so bad. Please provide me with a solution otherwise i will have to think about changing it because i am paying you to provide me internet. And i will not be making payment for the 9 days it was not working. Just provide me with a date when my problem will be resolved otherwise i will have to take some drastic action.

              I biught the airtel secure plan from airtel to keep my device covered.

              I have kept my phone on the referigerator for charging. Phone ranged many times and dur to vibration it fell down from the referigerator and diaplay got affected.

              Now the airtel says that claim is rejected because it eas negligence at your end. I want to know what does the negligence means. That means human should not keep the phone above ground level while charging, otherwise you are negligent.

              Its a smart way of earning from the customer. You cover only accidents that happens without negligence. I do not understand how the accident will happen if you are not negligent. Whats the meaning of the accidental damage insurance?

              I am surely gone take it to legal proceeding and let airtel prove in the court that keeping phone on referigerator for charging was negligence o[censored]ser and user should have been in front of the phone for one hour till the mobile is nit fully charged.

              Regards

                        My balance was deducted and i didn't get any confirmation message regarding to my 2nd renewal charges. When i called to customer care they gave me ans that company didn't send any confirmation messages to customer. Executive talked very rudely. I'm very disappointed with this kind of airtel services. They are not ready to take any complaints against any of this.

                          I have recharge 399/- plan in airtel (In which plan - 70 days 1gb per day 4g data and unlimited voice call for local+std). But airtel company are fraud. They did not provide me genuine 1gb data per day. Why your are providing fraud plan for all customers. Kindly give me daily usage internet data logs like jio company.
                          If i call their customer care for talking airtel customer care executive, disconnect my call. Your customer care number also fake.

                          Airtel's 1 GB/ day scheme is a fraud. Daily quota of 1 GB / Data is getting exhausted within very short time of internet browsing or mail checking. Also, they removed the data balance checking option from my airtel account in which data consumption / availability details was previously available. I called Airtel to complain about it. They listen to me, but no action. People know, how much 1 GB data is.

                            Same problem in middle of rajkot city.

                            From last few months we are facing terrible network issues. Even in home, office or different location.

                            Network often goes off.
                            Tried all 2G, 3G and 4G network settings with new 4g SIM.

                            Issue tested with different mobile, different location in city as well as different airtel numbers.

                            I'm using AirTel from last 10 years but now we are porting out.
                            Sir
                            Still we are job in Gondal Umwada Road Gondal .

                            Voice clarity not came. Also 4 G Network not came.

                                I recharged my airtel prepaid with rs. 244 recharge denomination. While i recharged the 244 benefits of the denomination was stated that it will provide 74 days of airtel to airtel call and 74 gb with daily usage of 1gb per day. But today i got the ivrs saying that my validity is getting over by today and asking me to recharge, which i got shocked and found that airtel gave me only validity for 28 days. Below is my mobile details.
                                Airtel number: [protected]
                                Recharge date: 24jul2017 amt: 244.
                                I was cheated with this misleading information in the site from airtel.

                                  I have ported my number from vodafone to airtel. But there is no signal in that sim and my old number has stopped already. I am loosing my business calls and i am going to consumer forum against it.
                                  This is such a bad service for postpaid users like us. We wholly depend on our phone.

                                  Your associates keep bugging us about your plans and finally when we try it we have to face this. I urge you to start my number immediately

                                    My no [protected], i seen offer for my number 545 unlimited calls a2a for 84 days, i thought this is all local calls. After that my friend said this is for only airtel to airtel. So i called customer care for reversal. They said won't.

                                    This is not offer, this is cheating. If i found in normal tarrif i won't choose. I seen in my special offer category.

                                    Why cheating like this...
