Good! Airtel values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Airtel step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

Your private contractors are installing poles for fibre internet in front of my house where we usually park our car. Jio did the same thing few months back but had the brains to install it near the already existing electric pole and not at random locations in my area. Please contact me with a solution in 10 days or I will remove “the pole” myself. I know the contractors are placing more pole than required to...

During Covid, when I was out of station, Airtel installed a pole right in front of my house between two trees where I used to park my car. There was clearly space outside where they could have set up their pole.
When I raised an objection with the service technicians who visit regularly, they said they'll change it for 25, 000 rupees. The whole ordeal just proves that their intent was to maliciously make money by causing inconvenience...

I had received a duplicate SIM for my airtel number since the original SIM stopped working. Copy of ID proof was also submitted. I was told that the SIM would be activated within 4 hours. However, it's been almost 24 hours and the SIM has not been activated yet. I am unable to connect to the customer service number 121 from my alternate JIO sim. I stand to miss a lot of important calls and critical OTPs as I wait for the SIM to get activated....

After next day I got a message saying "Your sim request change is complete" Retailer will charge Rs. 50....
