I got myself registered for the airtel secure plan after they advertised it so much in the t. V.
They claim to provide accidental damage protection.
Now my claim was rejected because they say the insuree was not careful enough.
Now if a person by mistake sits on his phone which was on bed, why isn't it being considered as an accident.
I will suggest people to be careful of this scam of insurance.

    I was using airtel prepaid number [protected] for long time. Few months before i took that sim to abroad to receive sms from india. Unfortunately, i forget to keep it in network for about 2 weeks and then while trying to use the sim, i could not connect and saying not in service. Many times i have visited the service center. Since, this number was in bsnl chennai and then i have switched to airtel, they told that, this number will go back to bsnl. But bsnl said they did not receive this number in their list and hence with airtel only. While i tried to contact i am receiving the orator message as "this airtel number not in service." i would like to get my number reactivated to use. Hence, i request you to extend your help to reactivate the airtel number [protected] at the earliest please.

      I recharged for 658 pack which says that local and std calls are free with 1.5 gb free data. They have not mentioned that it will not work on roaming in portal and when i called and asked them to cancel the pack within 30min from the time of activation, since that is not working on roaming, they have denied to cancel the came. They are not willing to change the pack for the worth of that amount.

          I have a 3g supporting handset.. On 4 july i called to cus. Care n ask him about 399 rs pack. I ask him that in 399 rs company gives 3g/4g data/p. D for 70 days and unlimited calling in india anywhere and i have a 3g handset so the 3g internet will do in my handset or not?
          Customer care replied me that net and calling both will work in your handset but the speed of internet will be 3g.
          After recharging of 399rs the internet didn't work in my phone and calling work only one month. The company making public fool by saying wrong information... What is this?

                  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.

                            My name is pramod tripathi my airtel postpaid mob no [protected] i am using more than one year airtell services.

                            But i want share a very bad experience from airtell store dariyagang pin code 110002 emp name salman as well as customers care via 198 no

                            On 31 july 2017 i gut information to convert my postpaid no to prepaid via customer care by using 198 no with the help of adharcard pancard and 1 photograph

                            I visited airtell store on 1 agust an 2 agust 2017 but salman and other staff refused to provide prepaid sim at darygang airtell store 110002

                            On 2 agust i closed my postpaid service via 198 no due to pathetic service from airtell

                            On 2 agust 2017 in evening i received a call from airtell that person wrongly comited to deliver prepaid sim on my office address via courier but so far i did not receive

                            Hence i again closed my post no and again i received a call from airtell executive and again same word that person told me i received asap my prepaid sim on my office address but still i am waiting

                            Request please look at my problem and terminate all staff who involved in false comitment

                              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
