      Airtel customer care executive called me to port my number i accepted to port it to airtel from reliance. After sending port sms at 1900. I have given the code to him (Airtel agent). He told me it will take 5-7 days to activate. It has been more than 10 days my reliance service is cut down now. And i have inserted the airtel sim that they have provided it is showing no service. I got the call from executive that your number will be ported to airtel from reliance.
      I tried to call customer care they are saying that you go to shop where you have ported the number. I am unable to use that number cause there service from either of them.
      I called the person that has given the airtel sim to me. He is not picking my calls and he has blocked my number.

            I shifted aircel to airtel in may 2017. They suggested a family plan and so had my wife and son changed to post paid. Our numbers are [protected], [protected] and [protected]. It is over one week that i was contacting airtel and sms was sent to all our phone and send yes. Today after 6 days of conversation which include the supervisor, that my wife has to give in a paper a fresh "no objection and i have to submit it with aadhar car and pan card and a photo for the formality for which i have approach a airtel store and submit. I have been to one store and they never appraised me these. Before shifting from aircel and prepaid to post paid, there were representative who came home to assist. But none come to help us. They ask me to visit and then only the family plan is possible. Instead of solving the problem, each one try to push. Our address is dr. P. Balasundaram, 20/39, nowroji road, chetpet, chennai - 600031.

                  I am a heavy user of internet (Approx 12gb-4g data/pm - rs. 260 recharge twice/thrice per month) and phone calls (Rs. 250 recharge twice/thrice per month). This doesn't mean that i am wealthy enough to recharge. I am recharging my number out of no option given to me. I find that airtel is not public friendly anymore. The connectivity of internet is definitely found to be cheating. When i recharge for 4g, i often get 3g services almost 70% as indicated in my device. Why does airtel want to cheat public?? Despite of my constant request to airtel outlets/retailers - i have found harsh behaviour of them towards me. Most of the airtel outlets have staff with heavy ignorance in explaining customer friendly doubts. I still want to know, why am i deprived of rs.244 & 399 offers?? I need a genuine reply.

                    Hello sir,
                    I have been requesting airtel for past four years to provide basic network signals at my area. It is no surprise to say that there is complete network outage at gandhi nagar area.
                    Airtel nodal and appelate provided me written email confirmation that they will resolve the issue last year 2016. But they r not responding to these seriously

                    Airtel is charging huge amount to for postpaid customers in the form of monthly rental, service tax etc., but they are not improving network signals so that customers do not face issues related to making cell phone calls. It is sad to see that I cannot make calls from my home. Also, here are huge call drops and takes longer than expected time to make a call at Gandhi nagar, hyd area. I have escalated the issue to Airtel 100 times every year in the form of emails and customer care calls. However, I don't see any progress made in resolving the issue so far. Also, Airtel is so careless about providing Proper response and resolution to this outstanding issue since long time. Hope consumer forum takes necessary actions of this Airtel to get this resolved soon.
                    Thank you

                    There won't be any serious response from Airtel customer care and I request you to take immediate action on Airtel so that they realize the value of customer.
                    It is minimum responsibility of service provider to give basic network signals to its customer when they are charging huge mobile charges for the post paid bills. Airtel must be fined for charging customers without having proper mobile signals.
                    Thanks

                      I have used airtel dth last 4 years and my account no is [protected] (Mobile no [protected]). Before 3-4 months i have a problem in received signal and airtel customer representative come to my home and he checks the signal and tell me one part is needed changes and he charges rs. 500 with the service charge. Now today i face the same problem (No signal received). My previous local cable service solves that kind of problem without any cost, but airtel charges any reason call the customer representative, if that is their fault! That is very chip business policy.

                        Lodge the complaint since dish was not working. Person attended and changed the part of dish without informing, which is not at all acceptable.

                        How come airtel service provider can changed the parts as per his convenience. They changed the part and ask for money. It's not their responsibility to explain the problem & after concurrence of customer changed the part

                            Dear team airtel,

                            I mr. Shamshuddin. Sayed from thane maharashtra having airtel prepaid connection no. [protected]. I lost my mobile yesterday, hence, i want to request the airtel team to please block this sim card asap.

                            Please guide me through the process of issuing a duplicate prepaid sim card (If possible, with the balance amount from my previous sim). I expect a quick solution to my problem with further knowledge of the procedure.
                            The airtel team can contact me on my alternate number [protected] or [protected]@gmail.com for further communication.

                            Thanks,
                            Shamshuddin. Miran. Sayed

                                This number ([protected]) is a scam/fraud. I myself got hoaxed by this number of Airtel. I would request you to take a legal action again the person. This number is linked with multiple social accounts including Instagram. Please help report this number so as to stop any further scams.

                                Thank you.

                                  I purchased airtel sim recently and i was told that by recharge of 448 i will be given 1gb 4g data per day and after using 4g data i will be able to use data but speed will be reduced but i doesn't happened. Yesterday i used my 1 gb 4g data but after that data was stopped. I called costumer care but they said only 1gb data will be given after that there will be no data. What is this. I wasted my money in airtel. I should have gone for jio instead. I am very disappointed with airtel.

                                    I am using airtel broadband since past 6 yrs.
                                    I am currently using a plan of 1599 which i wanted to change to lower plan 0f 749, it is being almost more than a month i am trying to change my plan but each time i call to airtel customer care they says there is some back end issue which will get resolved in 2 days and again when i contact them for confirmation after 2-3 days they says there is still issue and will take another 2 days and this is happening since more than a month but my plan never got changed actually. I am paying unnecessarily 1599 because of airtel fault.

                                    I fell like airtel is cheating with me because does it take more than a month to change a plan, and for going from low plan to high cost plan it will done immediately but if i want to change from high cost to low plan they are not changing and coming us with excuses.

                                    Why i need to pay extra for airtel fault, any way i have made up my mind to change the provider but wanted to bring this into everyone knowledge how airtel cheats their old and loyal customer.

                                    Moreover why i am paying extra for airtel fault and issue with their backend.
