Finaly i decided go consumer court if airtel not provide sim why 4times commit to provide why fraud with me

Today i read a news if mobile connection is not linked with adhar before feb 2018.. Mobile no will be closed by company... Right now i am out of country for 2 year.. I will back in india next year dec 2018.. I have 4 airtel prepaid connection on my name one for my mom, one for dad, one for myself, one for brother.
Now you tell me how i can visit myself physically to any airtel outlet for linking adhar with mobile???
And if i will not link my no with aadhar, company will close my connection. They all are using their no since 2012. That time i took all connection on my voter id card.
If we can linked our adhar and pan online then why not mobile no? Do some online process for aadhar linking with mobile.

Dear airtel team,

I want to port my no from airtel to any other. Because since last one week i am trying to call your local airtel person mb. No.-:[protected], but he is not responding over phone. Simply he just pic call and no voice response, i am totally frustrated with that person as well as airtel team also.

Now i am going to port my no.

My name is pawan kumar joshi and i am a regular user of airtel, i have changed my airtel 3g sim to 4g from a airtel store raja park jaipur and i was satisfied with there service and they didn't charge for this service.

But, my recent experience with a airtel store "digital electronics" bhilwara (Rajasthan) was very disappointed, i went there to link my and my wife's aadhar number to our mobile numbers and also want to change...

Hi, this is to bring to your notice for better solution... I have been facing network issue from last 2 yrs, i made no. Of complaints to airtel customer care, till now is not resolved, but recently i stopped paying the bill as there ware not making any progress on network issue, now i want to move out of this network, they ask me to pay rs. 3726.10. (I already paid them enough for last 4 years for unreliable network). Please help me in this regards.

Key points: airtel customer care agreed there is problem with network in my area, they are trying to install new tower from last 2 yrs, but still awaiting approval from government. Now they dont even know how many months / yrs it takes to install new tower.

Hi team,

Its been months, i am facing network issue with airtel number: [protected], i reported this issue to airtel customer care many time.

I don't see any action and improvement, except collecting monthly bill from me for unreliable service.

Now the network is still worst.

Now anther issue started, i am unable to reach most of the jio number, if i call, any jio number, it say "network busy", "number does not exist", not reachable... Etc. Where in i can reach the same number from another mobile network.

Apart all, i started getting harassment from airtel collections team to pay the bill. How do you expect me to pay the bill, when there is to much of network issue?

Best regards,

Chenchu.

Airtel complain number: {83152844} i have ordered a new connection with the airtel broadband with a plan of rs 1299 on 28th may 2017. On 29th may 2017, i got a call from the airtel guys requesting for documents, so i shared my documents over whatsapp and was promised that the connection will be installed in 48 hours. After 2 days i got a call "local executive" in the morning. As i was in office, i had asked him to come at 4-5 pm in the evening. I never got a call from him till 8 pm at night. At that point in time, i asked him to come tomorrow at the same time. That's the last time i heard from them. I have been calling airtel support number [protected] everyday. I have spent hours talking to the customer service, they say that there is an issue with the backend team and will be resolved in next 24 hours, that's the statement i hear everyday but nothing happens. I had even raised a complain about it with the ref number mentioned at the beginning on 1st june 2017 but nothing has happened to this date.

I am really frustrated with the response i am getting here.

Air-tel is giving very ridicules service to the customers, my payment was done couple of days back, but still my number is not activated, the service is giving worst service, when i call to customer care, the executives are giving all fake updates,
I ask them to connect superior they did't do.
While i am talking with executive the call is disconnecting wantedly.
They dont bather about customer money, i paid the money already but they said the payment is not done.
Incident happend : 2nd june
And i want my money back.

Hello Team,

This is regarding the Ref47933061 and was escaleted with reference number C3GSP[protected]. I have log this request on 22 may and till today no resolution and no one is updating the status.

I have recharged 349(1GB data/day) in [protected] and was able to access net from my nexus mobile. Now when i have recharged 399(1gb/day) pack in [protected] it stopped working. I am able to access the data pack from other sim (BSNL, JIO, Idea) but not from Airtel. There might be some issue and restriction for this pack which is stopping me to access the net pack.

Please help me to address the issue with high priority as it is pending from last 14 days with airtel support team.

Thanks
Bhagirath.

Its been over 3 days, cannot make outgoing calls nor receiving incoming calls. Same issue with everyone in my family having airtel. Since putting a complaint, i've been told it would take 4 working days to rectify this problem??? Really?? How are we supposed to operated without making calls??

Just ported from vodafone to airtel 2 months back and i am repenting big time with this decision. Got a message this morning that my complaint has been resolved, but i am still getting the same issue.

Worst service ever. Will be porting back to vodafone.

I am using airtel sim from last 3 months, previously i used to use vodafone which worked just fine. However i problem the mobile internet just gets disconnected after every 5 minutes, i have tried to talk with airtel customer care guys but it seems like they don't know what is causing this. Every time i call they tell me "sir your problem will be resolved in 72 hours". Multiple 72 hours have passed but no good.

Help me.

My SIM stopped showing signals on 31st of May, 2017 and I was informed my sim has got damaged just like that. I asked for a duplicate sim from Airtel store, G- 57, Aggarwal Centre Plaza, DC Chowk, Sector 9, Sector 9, Rohini, Delhi 110085 on 3rd of June, 2017. My sim has not yet been activated. I called customer care on 4th of June, 2017 and the executive gave me false information that my request has been cancelled. On being asked for request number, she ddnt had the same. Kindly let me know the correct status and I am highly dissatisfied with your service.

I recharge my airtel dth id [protected] for rs.897/- on 20.05.2017 from a dealer. Very next day the said id in susspended due to low balance. I talk to airtel customer care rrgarding this that i have already recharge this id, they told me to recharge rs.100 more and told me that the amt 897 is reverse to dealer without my consent. When asking to dealer, he also not recieved the amt. I immediate talk at customer care, and they told that they transfer this amt for my another id [protected], which is in suspend order without my consent. And they confirm that they transfer the amt wrongly and rectify the same. I call at customer care many times for this but they did not transfer the amt at my actual id [protected]. Hence i am in very tension.

I dharmendra singhal secured my mobile from airtel secure.
On encountering a damage in my mobile, i called the customer care. The senseless executive unsubscribed me from that plan saying sorry. Now when i am asking company to pay the damage cost, the company is refusing to pay.
Its the fault of their executive, why should i suffer.
The company promised me to call back within 8 hrs, after 3 days i still dont find any call!
Isn't it great, the company the claims to be the largest 4g network, is totally fraud.
Please never go for airtel.

I had opted for the airtel 40 gb internet broadband wifi plan (40gb/8mbps) which was running quite well. However for the last month or 2 the condition of the wifi connection has become drasticaly poor. The message "'no connection available" is being shown repeatedly. I am not getting my internet connection for most of the time even when i urgently need it for personal purposes. I would request airtel to take some measures to ensure that this gets better otherwise i will be forced to withdraw this connection.

Dear sir,
Telephone number [protected] was installed at y 505 roseland residency pune during may 2013,
Four years back. I have had made more than 30 complaints to rectify the phone but the system
Does not work. I confirm that no incoming or outgoing calls were made as yet.
Also there had been many complaints on the broadband internet. The first being the slow system,
Sometimes not working and showing error. Many complaints were reported and the issues resolved after
Follow up.
Another issue is that of payment sometimes the invoice is of rs 746 and other times rs 846 and i have to
Call the call centre to resolve.
I had gone to abroad during early april 2017 and notify airtel. On return there were pending bills @ rs846
And the same were resolved and paid up on 31 may 2017.
On 31 may 2017 someone called and advised that i requested for disconnection on 22 may 2017 by email
And i advised that it was not true. But the internet was not working and i lodged a complaint and it was visited
By a technician who without touching anything advised that i should change the modem. I advised him that
He needs to check and test the modem atleast. He recorded problem resolved. I complained again as the
System was not working and advised that i am a ex defence officer, nri and operate an international business
From home and i am 67 years old and unable to walk to a cyber cafe in the heat. I was advised that it would be
Resolved by 1 pm on 02 jun 2017 as it was escalated to the highest level. But there was no response. I called up
At 1 40 pm and requested for early resolution as i was loosing business and stressed out. I spoke to abhishak shukla
The supervisor. I went again to a cyber cafe and came back and there was no response.
Today morning i called up again around 7 am and requested for early attending of the complaint. But the call was
Disconnected. I called up again around 7 1 5 am and was told that i had requested for disconnection of the line on
22 may 2017 and the line is disconnected. He put me to his senior vishan who advised that on my request abishak shukla
At 1 58 pm on 02 jun 2017 recorded that my line be disconnected. This was grossly wrong as all along i had been requesting
For better services and never told about disconnection neither by email on 22 may and nor on 02 jun 2017 to
Abhishak shukla. They need to verify the records. Anyhow vishan advised that he has put a request to reactivate
The line and advised that a technician would attend to my line today.
I have had paid all the bills generated for last 04 years although the services were not only poor were not provided
Including telephone. They have had purposely disconnected my line as i have had compliant ed. Due to this my business
Has suffered and i am personally stressed out and this has affected my health as well.
I request that..
1 the internet and telephone services be restored immediately
2 i be paid a compensation of rs 5 lacs for 1. The poor services.2. Zero telephone services 3 wasting my time on complaints and follow ups
3 for my mental agony
