Really very disappointed from services of airtel postpaid.
I ported my number from idea to airtel. At the time of starting process of porting they said they will provide extra data benefits but after porting they said they can't provide that. Then after long time discussion, they given me another offer for 6 months. Now on 21st Oct, I visited airtel store to submit documents for porting my another two idea number to airtel. Without submitting documents in airtel store, I have not called even single time to customer care services. Anyone can check outgoing call logs from my phone.
But I received a message that data pack is deactivated from my number. I called customer care on 23rd Oct, they said I called them to deactivate data pack. But as I said, I didn't call even for single time.
Don't know from where they received called and updated those records on my number. Please help me out in this.

I Have Recharged my mobile number with prepaid recharge of INR 109 on 24th OCt 2016.
The Transaction ID - IS[protected]

But my amount got debited from y account and my mobile number did not get credited with the amount recharge I paid. This happened for the second time with the Airtel People.

To add to the frustration there is no complaint. There is no complaint number I could reach out. Not even the toll free numbers adn any number provide online is working.

Date: 24.10.16,
Mob.No.[protected], I request you to refund my payment of Rs.35 immediately. I have received some link on my mobile, so I clicked the link and my balance got cut. So please solve my complain immediately. I don't know what is Gamesbond. I don't have any photos of the same thing. So please do the needful and solve my complain immediately.

I am moved from Delhi to Bangalore. i requested airtel to process MNP on my number around 10 days back. they have given me new SIM to insert when there is no signal in phone. On saturday night, signals in my phone gone down and its monday morning there are on signals in my phone. After disconnection immediately i have inserted new SIM then after its now there are no Signals.

I was calling to customer care since sunday to get it resolved .they are not even doing anything on this. Just making fool out of me by saying it will get resolved in few hrs. Our team is working !!! i am pissed off. its day time, i have to make important calls.

I have purchased 40inch samsung smart tv. As per the offer I am supposed to receive 2 months of airtel hd channels free. I have contact airtel and send sms as per the website. I have not received any revert from airtel. I spoke with customer care and they told me to wait. I have been waiting for a week now adn still no response. Really frustrating.

I have requested broadband connection for Airtel on Oct 07, 2016. Without checking the feasibility, they have requested the amount and assured a connection in two days. After I called them, they are telling like there is in my my area(Shoilnganallur, Chennai). They should have checked the feasibility before then only proceed for the payment. But no reponses so far. I am the airtel postpaid customer for more than 4 years and I don't why the customer service in terms of braodband connection. I have called them twice and requested for refund, they said they will initiate but no actions taken so far. This is reference number : TNPC838243. Broadband customer service is getting worser than berfore.

Airtel should not compulsorily save Card details of customers and then put the onus on customers to go thru their site and delete the same. The Airtel website under payments is, to put it mildly, very "wobbly"" and one cant have confidence it that. Even after a payment is made, recpt generated, one gets a message "'OOPS.. your tx could not be done etc etc"" Some joke?? And these people with such an unreliable system want to save Credit card details?? One wonders if this is within the law or is Airtel just shoving their way thru?? If its for "'convenience"" then the customer should have the choice to allow Airtel to save the Card details or not. Something is not right here.

Airtel people u go to hell, if this secularism will opted why u r charging on sms on diwali occasion, what u think, i[censored] will charge me for sms i will immediately port out because u think not u all r taking benefit of coolness of hindu people,
aapki aukat kaise hui diwali pe sms charge karne ki, package kya faltu me aata hai.

many things r there to write but i m writing in short i[censored] will not understand, what i can do at my level i will do

This is with reference for the new airtel broadband connection and a request number "74577976".

I submitted my documents on 20/10/2016 to a person having contact number as [protected], after collecting my documents he told me that he will provide me connection on 22/10 and also gave assurance about the feasibility in my area.

He asked me to pay the activation fee and give him the transaction id, once i gave him my transaction id he did not pick up my call and asked me to contact [protected].

That number said he will look into this issue but later he didnt respond neither picked my call.

I contacted customer care and they gave me a reference number and told me technician will come and install everything today, 23/10. I didnt receive any communication and before I paid activation fee i was flooded with Airtel customer care, sales team call and once I paid them 1000/-, all the numbers are switched off and nobody is contacting.

Now again when I am contacting customer care all of them are telling different story.

I am using their postpid number from past 8 years and now I am planning to stop using all of the airtel things together.

The customer care were so rude and kept me on hold for 18 minutes.

I have an railway cug post paid plan of railway as per my plan in my plan company offers 2 g data unlimited plan. And upto 10 gb with higher browsing speed after 10 gb with lower browsing speed. But with starting of the month its shows 100 % data consumed. No executive of airtel is registering the complaint. They are fooling and disconnect the call before the complaint is registered. I have call several time they say that sir this is prepaid service centre and your complaint will be registered by postpaid department. But the contact number they give are completely wrong. And invalid.

Customer ID [protected]-001,
I have upgraded to Airtel DTH HD connection in the month of jan 2016, but in the month of june 2016 the HDMI port of the my set top box was non functional for which i have raised several complaints but till date it has not been resolved and every time the complaint is closed mentioning my area is in cable operator zone and service engineer cannot visit due to risk of life..
i even mentioned to the customer care that i am ready to come extra mile to the area where the engineer feels safe so that i can change my set top box .. but the same has also not been done ..
i was even ready to visit the nearest airtel dth gallery.
i have already taken HD annual channels pack but i am unable to view the same since the HDMI port is non functional..

hence i want
1) the set top box to be replaced on top priority
2) refund for the last 4 months for which i was unable to use the airtel service due to the fault in set top box which was not resolved by the airtel engineers.

from disappointed airtel dth customer

I have recently switch from idea to airtel. I was informed by the airtel customer sales person about the plan and now when the service is activated there is nothing about that.

They have cheated to bring the customer from other operator.

I have the call records of the airtel guy. He is clearing mentioning that and now when i am calling him he is not replying to my question.

Why I have received 3G service instead of 4G service?

I was informed by the telecaller that will get a 4G service??

Customer ID 11441410.
With Airtel for 10 years and regretting now.

I have already escalated to all possible people including appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com and nodal teams.
All Airtel escalation teams are completely useless. Nobody takes ownership and you get a different person asking for 48 hours everyday!
I have been asking for a better escalation number/contact of higher authority to have my issues fixed and inform them about their failure of customer support teams but nobody in Airtel seems to know and nobody seems to bother.

- First IPTV
My IPTV was suspended by Airtel on 14 October 2016 without installing DTH services which I had opted for on 20 August 2016.
I have been asking them to provide DTH since 14th October. It is 22 October now and I don't have either.
Every time I call and email I am informed with excuses and a time frame of 48 hours.
I was informed on 21 October finally I will have DTH in 24 hours.
When I call in on 22 October I am told the IPTV withdrawl request was submitted today! And DTH will take 48 hours!
Why was IPTV cut on 14 October if you say request was submitted on 22 October?
How long does it take for a company like Airtel to install DTH?

- Broadband
I am paying 1349 for a 4mbps plan but Airtel has a 16 mbps plan for same rental. I have requested for an update to 16 mbps.
Surprisingly Airtel does not have that infrastructure to provide 16 mbps in the heart of Bangalore city!
I was informed on 21 October after a week long complaint that my rental will be cut by 50% for 6 months as they currently cannot provide 16 mbps connection. Within next 3 months they will ensure 16 mbps or higher.
When I call in today to check status of DTH and Internet I was informed there is no mention of reducing my tarriff to 50%.
Why should I pay 1349 for 4 mbps when Airtel has a plan for 16 mbps with same cost in Airtel website? If Airtel cannot upgrade infrastructure when reduce my tarriff to 1/4!

I have emails to provide how different teams within Airtel fail to communicate with each other and leave customers stranded. And nobody bothers to take ownership to have the issue resolved!
I am looking for different vendors now as I am fed up with incompetent Airtel teams and their utter failure to have issue resolved as they work as separate teams within 1 organization. Escalation teams are utter useless.
