Dear sir
I wish to complain about my painful worst ever experience with airtel broadband!!!
I had applied for a new broadband connection with airtel through online portal on 21-july-2017 from the area virugambakkam, chennai - 600092. My order id (Crf) is : tnpg078744. I had provided my details online for the new connection and i was contacted by a csr on the same day regarding my interest in airtel 's broadband plans and connection. An executive came to my home and collected all my relevant information and documents. I was told to pay the activation fee for which i chose to pay three months rental in advance for waiving off the activation fee. I paid an amount of rs. 4598 immediately in front of the executive and gave him the payment transaction id for specifying in the application form.
After he left, till date i am struggling to know the status of my internet connection. I called the call center so many times and finally yesterday they told me that my application is in rejection status because email id was not mentioned in the form. I had to call them multiple times only to know that my application is in rejected status. Before paying the amount, i was contacted numerous times by the csr but to know the status, i had to follow up many times. They did not even had the courtesy to call me and convey that some detail is missing. They are blaming some other departments and trying to escape my query. Till date i have not been contacted by anybody about my connection. Its only me who is following up constantly for my connection. Everytime i call the customer care, they keep telling me that within 24 hours an executive will call you, but i have not received any calls so far!!
This is my worst ever experience with airtel. I did not even imagine that the service will be of such low quality and the customer care will be so much lethargic about a consumer's connection request. I feel that my money is lost because the response shown to me so far is so bad that i feel airtel is not in a position to provide the fair service i deserve for the money i paid. Kindly help me in this regard and please create awareness in public about the poor service provided by airtel. Please help me sir.

Why reminder on the 6th day
Not yet activated. Why?????
Is the said airtel sim died?

I think the appellate, nodal office and customer care office declared
Leave from 21.7.17 to 26.7.17.

Also, i think, mr. Andrew, ([protected]), tamilnadu, thanjavur airtel nallaiyah complex
Office also went on leave for the past couple of days.

Or you all worked without taking this issue in your workload?
Anyhow you are getting food, shelter and cloth for the said days.

Following days are leave or working days for thanjavur airtel,
Customer care, appellate and nodal offices.

Take food, wear clothes, enjoy a/c working office as usual.

No response till now from the company.

I am least bother about the retail stores? I believed the brand name "airtel" only.

What happened to their assurance to activate on 6.00 pm on 21.7.17 itself.

Why they unable to keep their words?

Did they lying for selling airtel sim (S).

Did airtel sim selling gone below the ground (Zero sales) level.

Will they give additional (Ten times or above) data/talktime for the amount collected rs. 450 on 21.7.17,

Which is not activated till 24.7.17 12.00 noon.

If you are not able to stand on your own words, why you people are coming for marketing/sales.

Are you able to take the food of 21.7.17 on 24.7.17

Why dont i think you are cheating?

Dear a. Lakshmi narayanan,

Greetings from airtel!

This is in reference to your email regarding delay in sim activation for your airtel mobile number [protected].

I reside in gurgaon.
Airtel broad band service providers have cheated me twice.
Both times xheque and documents were collected, but no connection was provided, this happened in june and july.

The second time the agent was asking for debit/credit card details on phone, it is very suspicious.
Strict action should be taken against air tel

I have two broadband connections. Both have problems. [protected] internet not working. and another no. [protected] wherein i am not getting incoming calls dialled from bsnl landline phones. kindly help me in this regard. and also i am unable to contact your customer care numbers from last night. tried several times but it is not connecting. (panduraga kamath)

Sir i used to visit your sore at sakshi jamshedpur for converting my plan from post paid to prepaid. Every time they get a lot excuse for fulfilling my request to do so. Despite my statement that i am old person please help they always started having discussion with a lot "if" and "but". So here is request to please advise him not to delay in providing prepaid plan, talk to old people with respect and diginity

Airtel dongle [protected] was closed on jan'2017 by airtel customer care for poor network issues, but even after closing the connection, ebills getting auto generated, why?

From last 2015, the starting day of shifting to my new residence, there was always airtel dongle network issues in 3g internet speed. I was facing lots of problem about network and data speed issues, the downloading speed was at times too slow under 10kbps using chrome. I felt my location was not in india thats the reason do not get signals. I went to airtel store, they told that some request was pending from there side and by two days it will be done. But no action has been taken, i informed many times but no body was serious about it. I have raised airtel customer care complaints regarding network issues but the system just closed the requests without sincerely doing anything. I don't know what was happening, they always reply me same that we are sorry! You are getting slow internet connection speed as we are in construction of 4g to improve speeds but continued to charge full monthly bills plus taxes for no internet services.

Really frustrated and irritated by airtel customer care. They always claimed, we are looking into this issue, a standard statement. Several attempts at contacting customer care have not yielded any satisfactory response. Sends fake messages to take customer's money and don't provide the committed services. I have paid thousands of rupees to airtel company as an internet subscriber. No value for customers money as internet services are interrupted so my official work has suffered badly. It has been a very disappointing experience.

Also, since the launch of jio, there was a steep fall in internet prices, but airtel still looting india. They did not lowered down the prices of internet packs. I wonder what trai is doing in this matter, of huge differences.

As such, i lost that quality in service hope, really fedup, on no services bills paying and thus wanted to discontinue connection. Instead of realising my issue, when asked for disconnection the airtel customer care service guy kept telling me about airtel random policies to pay outstanding bills again, before disconnections, to be refunded with security deposits later. So again i paid the bills for the days i had used or unused in the billing cycles till jan'2017 month.

I was using airtel dongle [protected] from long time, because of airtel's aclaimed quality in service. Airtel claimed that it's data network is the best of all network company, trying to fool us, tv ads of this company are fake, stop cheating the customers thru false advertisements that airtel network works even at hill stations, giving poor network in pincode 781018, 781025 etc. I'm clear that airtel runs fake promises as usual. Customers do not get any network signal properly, have to run to locations to catch signals, if we stay inside the home we never know when we will get the signals. Pathetic service. No sense of commitments.

Airtel's strategy is to raise a complaint number and promise to resolve it in 72 hours. When that period expires, another employee says it will be resolved in 72 hours. This has been going on for months. Airtel was aware that we have our lives and jobs to live in and we won't have enough time or resources to go behind them. Its unfortunate with cut throat competition you are going to loose the race like others, if your network and customer care does not improve, airtel will be buried alive for sure.

It is on record earlier that, airtel agents took documents and cheques had disappeared, can't be reached on mobile. Most of the airtel agents are frauds and cheaters, airtel does not seem to be worried about the competition killing them, the service is atrocious too.

If airtel can't provide proper network, then why i had to pay the postpaid amount. I was totally fedup, and than as per discussion with airtel customer care, on paid record of full payment, the airtel dongle [protected] was closed on jan'2017, disconnected my airtel dongle connection by airtel customer care for poor speed. It was very disturbing in addition to financial loss.

After closing the connection upon destroying the sim, i received a call from an airtel lady offerring me a free look, free rental period of 15 days, asking me to re-think on reconnection of old number, also suggessted to convert to prepaid number. I had clearly conveyed that i had disconnected the connection as i have busy schedules everyday.

# but even after closing the connection, getting ebills for consecutive months and airtel customer care are giving repeated calls every day, why? They call again and again for reconnection. Shamelessly asking for money even after disconnections. I'm deeply regretted to say that now airtel has lost its credibility and has started to cheat and beg its customers as well. What is there with airtel? Is this really a competitive environment? Airtel service providers are the liers and looters of first order. I wonder how many more customers of this country are being looted by them. This was no wonder or surprise that airtel services is worst and poorest in the country.

# now that, airtel offers/advertisements which are coming to my alternate mobile very frequently are annoying and disturbing. Don't send any more offers to my mobile. I am not at all interested. If it's continuing i have to file compaints to trai or a police fir if necessary.

# now it's july'2017 ending but airtel did not refund anything. I still haven't got my money back, return me my security deposits & no service billed subscription amounts. I want airtel to refund my amounts and pay compensation for unnecessary inconvenience caused.

Do something quickly regarding this, because it's leaving a wrong image of airtel company. Customers problems should be solved quickly so that customers can take advantage of sevices provided. I had called several times to customer care later but no one than picked the call, so please solve this quickly. I expect a quick solution to the problem with further knowledges.

Kindly write me how you can help me in getting my money back claims and compensations. I also feel that your staff would be more customer friendly. If you are not able to resolve the issue kindly take out your system, we don't need your services.

I have done my port from vodafone to airtel on 15th july'17. Since then i am unable to receive any incoming calls and send / receive any sms. But i am getting network coverage on my sim and i can make outgoing calls. Due to this i am unable to receive my client calls and cannot do my banking services where my mobile number is registered and this is impacting my work / business and causing financial loss.
I tried contacting the appellate authority 3-4 times and they said that the issue will be resolved in 1-2 days. But the deadlines crossed all the times and i didn't get any resolution and i wonder why airtel is unable to resolve this issue even after 12 days.
Now i am really frustrated and need an immediate resolution to my issue. I would request your prior intervention

My company had sent me to london - uk for office work for an year, during which i had not used my airtel number - 7259$#@. I was using a local sim card as that was quite cheaper. My airtel number was having network as i used to use a dual sim mobile phone. When i came back to india i have find that my number has got disconnected. I visited the neatest airtel store to find out that my number had been disconnected as i had not used it for more than 60 days. The problem now is that i had given this number to all my clients, office circle, aadhar card, bank, paytm etc. As the number is disconnected i am unable to receive otps or make transactions. Also unable to update aadhar card. I had not received any intimation from airtel that my number will be disconnected if i don't use it. I am now finding it very difficult to manage without that number. I have already submitted my documents twice to get that number activated. I was told by agents that the sim still get activated to postpaid and will have my daane previous number. But i am still waiting. I am willing to pay any fine. But i need the number back at any cost. I am unable to communicate with my clients because of this. Please help.

I recharged my airtel number with the 399 pack on the 23rd of July but all I could use was 1GB for two days instead of 1GB/day for 84 days and unlimited calls. Is this a fraud Offer or does it really work? Rs 399 is a great deal of money for a lot of people including me and I hope you will live up to your name. I am very disappointed and disheartened by this.
Please do something about it or refund my money.
