    I was in a google meet meeting when the server went off. I could not even message anyone on whatsapp nor open Google. Luckily I had other sim operators too. My location is in Jadavpur, Kolkata. See it does'nt occur again especially at office and school hours.

          I applied for and got a duplicate SIM for my prepaid connection, owing to signal issues in my existing SIM. I visited the Airtel store at Ashok Nagar, Chennai and got the work done.
          Date[protected] pm.
          The old SIM got deactivated on Saturday night, while the new SIM is not yet activated (even after 36 hours).
          Please resolve at the earliest.

            Airtel is charging IMF in their DTH service whenever there's a breakin in service, there's no specified period of breakin which seems inappropriate.

              I am facing the issue of port out sms. I want to port out of airtel and get into bsnl network. Customer care is telling that only recharging with unlimited plan will allow is to send sms. I don't want to waste 179 rupees just to send sms and get out of this network. Don't know why airtel isn't following government orders. And why do I have a normal balance if I can't send SMS ?!! Open exploitation of poor people by airtel and government isn't being serious about this company's policy. Please make them change this option.

                  Website: www.airtel.in/broadband/bangalore?icid=header_new

                  I had paid 6 moths advance and had taken airtel broadband connection. It expires on 19th December, and I have been repeatedly calling them to permanently disconnect my broadband before 19th December. Today when I called them, they told its been disconnected, but I got a message telling me that I have opted for a new plan (rs 499/month) from 20th december.
                  I complained the same to the customer care executive again, but they are not responding properly.
                  This has been the case with many customers, even after expiry without letting us know they choose the plan and make us pay for the next month.
                  My current balance is ZERO.

                            Airtel Team response is not only pathetic but they try to avoid resolving the issue by beating around the bush and hope the customer forget about it? First, it is really hard to connect to any customer care via 121. Secondly there is no straight-forward procedure for registering complaint. The Airtel thanks app doesn't allow me to go back to previous transactions to raise a ticket for the unresolved issue, it gets stuck at the most recent. Which was why I had to write an e-mail to (121) airtel team.

                              Address: 37/8, Behind Shivalya Mandir, Kaccha Camp, Panipat Haryana

                              Since last 1 month
                              We not have been getting internet connectivity
                              There are lots of issues

                              We have put so many complaints
                              But still the same issue persist
                              Really fed up with the Airtel services
                              Its worse than ever

                              This is the No. +[protected]
                              which is never picked, always gone busy
                              Call from this No. i have received after my last complaint.
                              He never come to my home.

                              [protected]
                              This is no. Who come to our home initially so set up the router. But he only procrastinate. Every time he ask & said we come but never come. During my last call he said your internet will get connecting at night after 10 now this is the next morning 11:15 but still wifi not get connecting.
                              I asked him if you could not resolve then remove our connection he said we could remove call at 121. That is also never connecting.

                              What to do..
                              airtel services claim they are best.
                              But i said its worser than ever. I will also recommend all. Not to avail that service.

                              I want my money back & remove this router as early as box as its good for nothing.

                                I raised a connection shifting request, complaint no[protected] for my airtel broadband on 9th December and I was told it will be done by 1 day. It's been 9 days since I place my request, not a single call I have recieved from airtel for shifing my connection. I called there customer care plenty of times and each time they just tell to wait. I have emailed the nodal offices too, still by shifting hasn't been done

                                Since it's work from home situation, without internet, my work has been affected heavily.
                                I would like Airtel either to shift my connection asap and compensate me for the days my work has been affected or refund me on my 3 month recharge that I have paid for my broadband connection, I will move to some other operator.

                                  I was not even using my data in my airtel number and it was deducting by it self. Same thing has been happening since the day I recharged the new plan in which the price has been increased BTW. This is such a shame a big company is scamming the costumers like this and stealing their money right under their nose.

                                    Sim is showing as "Invalid SIM"

                                    Hi Team,

                                    I have been using the Airtel SIM from long time for about 2 to 3 years now. Suddenly my SIM is showing as INVALID SIM.

                                    Please help resolve the issue.

                                    My Airtel Mobile Number is [protected]...

                                    Your port request is rejected as the validity o[censored]PC has expired.
                                    I don't wish to continue with Airtel so I request you to please change my porting as soon as possible
