          Hi Airtel Team,

          With full of frustration, I would like to inform you that your technical team has disconnected my Internet yesterday evening when I was not at home. When i logged the complaint with CUSTOMER care, Mr Pradeep Singh has refused to help and said that I have to wait until tomorrow evening to get this issue resolved. He was such a annoying person that didn't help CUSTOMER and asked him to wait for 24 hours. When I specifically request him to check with Online/Backend team to trouble shoot the probem, he again said that I have to wait for tomorrow.

          Below are the series of events happened:
          I have lodged a complaint yesterday with Airtel, that 5G connection is dropping 3-4 times in a minute and ping time is also more than 15 seconds. However, 2, 4G is working fine.

          Service Request was created by CUSTOMER Care.
          I talked to Rahul and scheduled time post 7pm on 22nd Dec.
          I start receiving multiple calls (around 20 calls from 5 different people), saying that there are multiple requests created and they need to resolve the ticket before 2.30pm. I mentioned that it is not possible as I am in Hospital.
          Calls were frombelow numbers
          [protected] Backedn / Online Team
          [protected] (Mr Rahul)
          [protected]
          [protected] (Mr Rajendra)
          [protected]

          Again getting annoying calls to send sms and to check if they can come.
          (### man, A CUSTOMER has logged the complaint, and you guys are annoying him. CUSTOMER is not at fault if 2 SR has been created)

          Then I called Rahul around 6.30pm saying that I am stuck in jam and will not be able to reach before 8pm. He said that he is at my place and waiting till 8pm if I can reach. I told No, I wont be.

          When I reached home, to my surprise the internet was down. However, it was working till 7.30 pm because I was accessing my laptops from Hospital via Remote Software.

          Also, I have my neighbors, who heard your team saying that lets disconnect it.

          Dear CUSTOMER, Service Request Number [protected] created for your Airtel Xstream Fiber ID[protected]_dsl. It will be resolved by 07/02/2022 11:30:00 AM.

            From last 10 days Im getting so many calls which is not related to me. When I cross checked the number which they call is not my number. I don't know how it is possible. And also I'm trying to talk to customer service or raise a complaint, no one responded. Needed to remove all call forwarding numbers from my number.

            Thank you..!!

                    Same here, started to have this issue as mentioned three weeks back before this post(Nov 2021). I managed to recharge one year data pack as they "removed all but the min charge to 99rs w/o incoming or outgoing sms", which wont help as we need OTP facility. So i recharged one year data pack and have 365 days validity. Then i switched to manual mode for network selection as well. But right now when i tried, its not even picking the signal on two different phones. We just require atleast incoming SMS facility as our number is connected to bank and govt utilities back in India.

                      Address: Vanastalipuram, Hyderabad

                      My SIM card has been stopped suddenly and not working from 2 days. I have visited the store at Vanastalipuram, Hyderabad(vanastalipuramaor.[protected]@airtel.com) . The SIM card is on my brother name, its a postpaid family member connection. My brother is on abroad. As per the process, my brother has shared all the required documents via email as above mentioned. ut the store person was saying that it will take 10days time for the approval of documents and activation of SIM and if I ask why 10 days time they are talking rude and it's not possible to activate do what u want. I am really disappointed with airtel this kind of service.
                      1) why my airtel sim stopped working with out my mistake. Chip failed is airtel issue.
                      2) The store persons are not polite and make customer to revisit multiple times.
                      3) Why it should take 10 days time. If the customer shared document has any issue just point me out on that blindly don't tell 10 days time.
                      4) store person saying, i[censored] want to complain give complaint.

                        Dear Airtel Team,

                        I request you to kindly disconnect the Broadband connection on the permanent basis. The first request for the disconnection was registered on 21 September 2021, but till now the broadband connection hasn't been disconnected. The ONT device has already been picked up by Mr. Arun ([protected]) without giving any physical receipt. He generated a OTP for the ONT device pickup and told me that this OTP is the proof of the ONT pickup, no physical receipt is required. I am not using the internet and has been continued complaining about the same, but received no satisfaction resolution towards it. Please disconnect this connection immediately and provide me the complete resolution. Even this time please confirm me via a reply through E-mail. I have mentioned all the details of the broadband account in the subject of this mail, even writing it down at the end of this email. Please look into the matter and do the needful.

                        Its been now more than 6 months that I have been contacting airtel regarding the issue that why they are not disconnecting the connection on the permanent basis. They always saying that there is an order pending of disconnection, but due to a technical glitch in their servers they are unable to take a new request for this. I have been frustrated with this, so the best thing which I could do for it was, I got the RTN number changed to any random number and got my email Id changed to any random email id which is even not mine. Further more, I have given my primary number as an alternate number to that, so that they could be able to contact me for the disconnection of the services of the airtel broadband. My landline number is [protected]. I did the above thing because I don't want to be the part of this foolish thing now. I have paid many bills regardless of I am not using their services anymore. I got the first complaint registered in the month of July of 2021, from then till now there has been no update that the company has provided to me. I was frustrated to see that connection on the Airtel Thanks app, so I did this so that I won't be able to see that on my primary number again.

                            I have tried reaching Bharati Airtel on customer care number multiple times, it takes he’ll lot of time to get connected to their customer representative, after connecting they will immediately disconnect the call without listening to the customer worst customer care service I have ever seen.Airtel never used to be like this.now it started behaving like desi company.horrible experience.I will change my network and switch to some good alternative

                              My name is Sumit and I live in Vikaspuri KG3 block. (New Delhi 110018)
                              We people here are fed up with Airtel persons. From past 6 months they are coming and dig the road just outside our home and never ever close that. Twice we had paid some people to close this. No one can imagine what happens in rain- no one can see those digs and scooters get slip there cars cannot cross these digs. No one can enter the home when its rain or wet outside due to the wet mud. Today 3rd time they came again and started to open that dig. First time I had stopped them and they moved to dig some another place. They always say we will come to close but 6 months are not enough to close?

                              We have a 6 month kid and all dust comes inside the home. I need to take precaution for this. No one can enter with slippers now and air you know already so polluted and for a small kid you can understand.

                              please look into this matter on priority.

                                      Address: Basti ( Uttarpradesh )

                                      I am using an airtel post paid sim ([protected]) with a monthly plan of Rs.249/-. Since 18.12.2021 evening, there has been no network at all on the sim. I have contacted the customer care service, but the only solution they had to offer was that i have to visit the nearest airtel store and get a new sim as it seems to be a sim issue . Despite making it clear to them that i was not in a position to go to the store, they offered no other solution. so i went to the store and on 20.12.2021, evening I was told that We don't offer Airtel postpaid duplicate sim. I tried all of my city store, I didn't get my new sim. On contacting the customer care representatives, they asked me to go the store again. I dont see why I as a customer should be the person who goes through all the trouble to get it working again, when there is no fault of my own in this entire episode. The customer care representative have also made ot clear that there is nothing they can do and that there is no possibility for things to get sorted out. I am working professional and in my current position I do WFH, I require my phone 24/7 for official purposes. I have already had to face issues for these three days that my sim hasnt been working for. To wait further is simply not acceptable. Is this what im paying for my postpaid plan every month ?

                                      I tried almost two cities Airtel Express store but haven't got my new sim card. It seems to be impossible. Airtel service is very poor and customer satisfaction is pathetic.
                                      I am currently at Basti ( Uttar Pradesh ).

                                      Regards,
