    I have bought one airtel 4g datacard for that address verification needs to be done.

    For address verification he came and met my friend and got details.
    Another day he called me he came and asked me address proof he verified everything.

    He has given feedback as not completed. This happens for the third time.

    After they re login again someone came when i was not in home and asked few details to my brother, but again he has provided feedback as not completed.

      Dear sir, madam
      In airtel 4g pack in my local area always remain in 3g sometimes it show 2g. Its limit speed is 10 to 800 kb per second maximum times 200 kb/s. I live in bhubaneswar smart city of india the speed of the airtel net is so slow. Even jio give me 1to 3mb per second. I'm so disappointed with the airtel network. How the network represent itself in advertisements it will be a wise decision to buy airtel sim but i think comparing with jio i have done a mistake by buying airtel sim.

          Hi,

          I want to discontinue my airtel broadband postpaid connection but their customer care team not is not doing this.

          I have applied for disconnection on 30/06/2017 but still my account has not been close till now.

          Airtel broadband id.[protected]

          Airtel broadband a/c no. [protected]

          Customer name: shailendra singh

          Disconnection request reference no. 84344942

          I have no pending bills but still i suffer a lot and mentally torture by airtel team by giving unnecessary offers or fake commitments of closing it. They have also cheated my security money of this connection and not settled or refunded.

          Can you help me for making it close my airtel broadband account?

          Thanks

              Am using airtel number ([protected]) from about 6 years. From past one year am getting network issues and several times call used to get dropped and call jumping problems. When tried to raise issue to customer care (121) we dont have option to speak with customer executive option in ivr. Really pissed off with network. Last week i spent my days without network at my home town (Bandham charla, pin-534467).

              No action even after 3 days. Very bad customer experience. Didn't expect these kind of experience from Airtel.

                I have got the message from airtel, so i recharged for 399 plan. The company promised to provide 1gb 4g internet for 84 days plus unlimited calls. But after recharge, almost all the time 2g internet runs, some time 3g internet and very rarely 4g internet runs. This company making fraud with customers on showing 4g internet access pland on 399 plan. They tells something and giving something else, cheating the customers. I have 4g handset as well as 4g sim. My mail is [protected]@gmail.com.

                  Dear sir/mam,

                  This is regarding my mobile no. [protected] on the name of dinesh kr suri. No incoming calls received except reliance numbers from 25/07/17. Lodged compliant/ reference no. 78324312 on 2/8/17 at 22.32 hrs. Till date no action has been taken & no firm reply from your end received. Visited personally on your zirakpur out let in evening for the same problem on 4/08/17 but all in vain. No result.

                  My internet services are also not working from 5/8/17.

                  Changed my plan to 499 from 999 from last two months but still it is reflecting 999 plan.

                  Fail to understand how you deal with your customers. We are facing problem & no one is bothered & giving us no solution. Very poor services of airtel. We are facing problem from last four months for signal drooping during calling. No solution.

                  May i know to whom i have to contact for a solution or i have to port my number.

                  Very poor service from airtel.

                          Hi team,

                          This is nihar ranjan sahu, and my airtel post paid number is [protected]. I took the corporate plan of rs 199 plus tax.
                          I've never exceeded the allowed usage per month yet. But every month, when the billing cycle is completed, i used to get surprised billing amounts. I don't know, how you guys calculate or do you think me as dumb that without investigating anything i would pay the bill amount as it is.
                          I used to call the customer care, tell the problem, and then they used to adjust my billing amount to actual one's. Every single month, i am facing this issue. So, this time i am raising complaint on you guys. Requesting you to take it on serious node, don't repeat same scenario from next month on wards. Stop cheating people.

                          Regards,
                          Nihar ranjan sahu

Then i called customer care at that time he said me that you will get one more message in an hour and your pack is valid for 84 days. But no message came. Then next morning i again called customer care that i hvent got any message of 84 days validity its still showing 28 days. He said me you hve unlimited calling for 28days but your internet data is valid till 15 october which is 70 days approx. I said him how is that possible acc to 399rs plan it has 84 days validity then he said he will transfer call to senior. Then his senior said something else. He says i hve got 84 gb data but it is valid for 28 days..3gb per day i can use.. I told him how is that possible. His junior a fews minutes earlier was saying something else. I have voice recording of all 3 customer executives which proofs that all of them gave different information to me. Senior also said we cant do anything its just 28 day plan dont call again and again.. See the rudeness. Total cheater and fraud company airtel is. They fool by saying 84 days then give u only 28 days. Serious action shoul be taken against them...

                              Hi
                              I recharge my airtel no [protected] with 346. But not getting 1gb free internet per day. Just got the message after 4 days of recharging "your internet benefits has expired please dial 12 13 14 to recharge" i called the customer care they said your per day internet benefits has been consumed and will be refilled after midnight. I checked it just after midnight and i got again the same message. I called the customer care but the same kind of answer again saying our system says you have used the internet and will be refilled again to be used by midnight. Where in the world in one minute 1 gb net can be consumed. But the customer care keep on repeating the same answer. If by chance your net works sometime it will work for a while and will stop workin anytime.
                              I am paying 346 per month airtel to have better service than the jio but airtel making customer fool and making a big dent in their company belief and it's reputation. I have one more no of my wife which i don't to mention here the no have the same issue.
                              Airtel your time has come to bite the dust and jio will show the same.
                              Better i will go back to jio fir the same amount of money 3 month is free stuff i will get than paying airtel per month same amount of money.
                              Now today i fly from ranchi to kolkota and all my outgoing is debarred once i an here in kolkota. Same thing with this 346 recharge. Airtel is a absurd company and do not care at all for its customer. I am frustrated at the airport as i can not place the call.
                              Majid

                                  Dear sir/mam,

                                  The second request for disconnect of service on [protected] was requested to 121 from corporate id on 23 june 2017. It followed with discussions with various airtel representatives trying to sell the service again to me for almost free. I wanted to close the service and was sure that i have not used it for last two month and will not be needing it. It was agreed on phone that they will close the service and they asked me pay the last bill which they also said can be vaivered if i just make the sim as pre paid. But i wanted to close thus decided to pay the last bill and close the connection. The last amount was paid in full without any two months usage on 6 july via ref citrusairtel. Airtel now has started sending collection calls for some additional money they want. How poor can they get to is shown by their such behavior. If people dont want your service they dont want it. Can we have an end to such harassment.

                                  Thanks & regards

                                        Today (08.08.2017) at 7.40am i made on line recharge to my wife's airtel number viz., [protected] but so far it has not been credited to my wife's number. This was done by using my pnb debit card. The amount was deducted from my account in pnb but the amount is not credited in my wife's mobile number. First i did for data rs.148/- and again rs.250/- for talk time recharge. Kindly credit the same immediately to my wife's number.
