My number is [protected].
My number is not working from last 4 hours. I port my number from Voda Post Paid to Airtel Post Paid. I made cal to 59059, computer asked last 4 digit number of my Voter Id. After submitted, call automatically disconnected and receive a message on my alternate number (Your televerification is successful). After that my network has lostted. This is very important number. Kindly fix it.

I made a complaint on 27 july regarding broadband. It is not working from 27july.

The airtel customer care said that it will be solved in 24 hours but in between airtel did not gave me any feedback or update.

After 24 hours when problem was not solved i again contacted the airtel supervisor and some sana said that it will be solved till 12 pm. So i again waited for next 6 hours but no action was taken.

Again i called the customer care and this time some dev answered the call from the senior department and after 25 minutes of call waiting he said that there is some issue with the main line and all, so it will take two days more. But that guy also said that it is not confirm that it will be solved in next two days. And even he had no idea that what step have been taken by the airtel to solve the problem.

Even i also mailed a complaint to airtel appellate
Appellate. [protected]@in. Airtel. Com. Some sanjay called me and said that this some engineer will visit to me and this problem will be solved by evening. But no one from airtel contacted me or visited.

The same type of problem i faced in february 2016 and airtel took 15 days to solve the issue and now again i am facing the same problem.

If airtel is not able to provide me service in my area.. Kindly let me know so that i can change to some other service provider.

This is the way of treating there old loyal customers. Airtel being a big company they are unable to rectify a line issue in 3 days and still they do not know the exact time to solve the issue.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is with the reference of my two airtel postpaid numbers [protected], [protected] in the name of Abhinav Upadhyay.
I got these two numbers postpaid on 27 July 2016 followed by the televerification.
Since that day, all incomings are shown as UNKNOWN. No number or name is written on the screen while the incoming calls. I registered the complained they gave me 8 hours to resolve the issue with complaint number 70564080 and 70564096, i am writing you after more than 24 hours and now my all incoming calls are deactivated.
No resolution has been done. i have suffered heavy damage with my work due to no incomings.

Kindly go through this issue on priority basis or else we shall talk legally.

Thank you and hope the same will be resolved ASAP.

The worst dth service provider is airtel dth. They promise / claim that installation will be done within 1 day and hence don't take request for more than one day. It has been 7 days and my connection is still not active. First engineer came and claimed that since i don't have screws to install my dish i have to buy a new dish all together - great combo offer. New screws new dish. Again a new request was raised and the service centre guys ensured resolution within 24 hours. All i got was multiple calls from service centre and engineer claiming to reach my place within hours. No one came. Not surprised. The next call to service team was transferred to "so called" supervisor, after ranting my issues was asked to repeat the same in hindi.
Airtel would disconnect my connection even if the payment is delayed by a day, now i don't have connection for more than a week. What will they do? Plus the cost of multiple calls that i have made.
Recommendation to all is not to opt for airtel dth connection if you have a choice.
@bharti mittal are you taking a note?

Today the engineer came. "wow".
After technically analysing the connection he said that the current dish is outdated. Took inr 700 and came back with the "so called" new dish. After hours of hard labour, he gave up saying "my head is spinning and i am not able to resolve the issue.
Then it clicked me, that it could be a new way of s liking dishes to the existing customers.

@sunil bharti mittal you do have business acumen huh!!!

Conclusion: same condition as yesterday. Dish not working. So called engineers are not able to resolve the issue.
I am further down with inr 700 along with the cost of multiple phone calls (Which minimum lasts 20 mins each).
Mental stress and agony.

Screw all customer service. Illiterate engineers and the same gets reflected on the brand.

Regret the day i had taken airtel dth connection. Thinking of filing a police complaint under section 420.

Dear sir/madam,
I had requested for number portability for my prepaid airtel number [protected] from haryana circle to maharastra circle.
I had submitted the documents to my nearest airtel center, and was clearly told that whatever the previous balance, would be added back after the porting.

I had approximately 200 as my previous balance and now it has nothing.

Kindly revert back the previous balance, as it is not ethical to provide the wrong information and that too by airtel center itself.

Hi,
I traveled to Germany in April and once I reached Germany I enabled International roaming using Airtel website "Rs149 IR Activation Plan 30 D" to make an emergency call to India.

even after enabling this service I could not be able to make outgoing calls.

When I reached india I got shocked by seeing the mobile bill of Rs. 4, 01, 314.02.Bill shows the data usage at one time 14/APR/2016 19:39:[protected] bytes ( 477 MB) worth Rs.

342006.

The usage was unknown for me. During this usage I did not get any warning messsages from Airtel.


But when I checked the SMS I could see that on 15th April

Alerts sent on[protected] as The Following IR SMS has been sent to the customer no:-[protected] and message is -- Usage alert: As per the last update, approx. international roaming usage on

your airtel mobile [protected] is Rs 24316. Usage Breakup: Voice-Rs. 2070, Data-Rs. 22246. To continue enjoying services, SMS YES to [protected].

Alerts sent on[protected] as "Dear Sir/Madam, I'm usha from Airtel, have noticed there has been a high data usage on # [protected] for 31MB with value of Rs22246(approx excluding surcharge

and taxes) @Germany. Hence, as a precautionary measure, the IR GPRS service has been blocked. Kindly confirm if GPRS to be activated.

My Credit limit is only Rs. 14000. Airtel continued service even with out getting my confirmation (once data usage reached Rs. 22246)"YES" SMS. Airtel is not ready to take this as complaint via their toll free number. and I send mail to Airtel They are not ready to accept these. Now Airtel started sending people to my house. I am very scared.

I did not get the service (making outgoing calls), I receive the bill for the one I did not want to use.

Please help me to solve this issue.

Regards,
Arun.

For the same i had called your customer care no. And registered the complain on 27/07/2016.
My complain no. Is[protected].
I got 2 call from your customer care since yesterday. They are not solving my problem and unnecessary disturbing me.

We received a communication from team airtel regarding stoppage of the services for iptv this has been appended below.

We have been following up on their number 121 as well as nodal officer for last two weeks to understand their offer to ensure that we are we will be covered at the same price level as our current plan covering voice, dsl and iptv, as the same is not clear from the offer.

We are keen to migrate to new service and have been requesting for a call back from their office, none has come so far.

We are afraid that on 31st july 2016 they will pull the plug and we will be left without the tv service.

Request for an urgent attention.

I had applied for a broadband internet connection in bangalore and here is the installation no [protected]. The customer executive followed up several times to follow up for the documents. We gave him the documents and was assured that the connection would be installed in 3 working days. Airtel executive who came to receive the documents suggested that we pay 1100 as the installation charges whereas the plan states 1000rs only. When asked he said 100rs is for verification. Considering that we gave him 1100 as the charges. Its been 4 days there is not even a single call or follow up from the airtel team on this. Even more pathetic is when we called now they say that connection cannot be installed at your place. Worst service ever experienced from a provider. We thought of getting a new airtel dth connection also but after this i dnt think so i would continue using my airtel mobile number also. Would not recommend anyone opt for it. I want airtel team to reply and process my refund immediately.‪#‎banairtel‬ i need an immediate refund, its been more than 2 months i do not have update on refund cheque. Pathetic service ‪#‎airtel‬. Never ever expect customers to trust airtel. They always reply with comments like your case is being highlighted or we will connect with you soon to share an update as possible but we have never heard update from them.

Sir,
I came to jaipur for and installed airtel broadband connection at my rented home at 6/6/16 the airtel representative bhawar lal who installed the connection told me that after paying the 1000rs as installation fees the wifi router will be mine when the connection is cut! He specifically told us this line"ye modem bhaiya bus aapka hai ab" as i was reading the conditions of the form he told us not to worry as modem will be ours in any case.. Now due to airtel broadband's poor services i am forced to change the internet service provider.. Now when i called them at 25/7/16 they asked me reasons.. And i told them the reason then their representative told me that the modem will be taken away from me as i have not used the connection for six months and that it is written on the form i signed and how i am liable to give the router back to them..! I feel cheated as i trusted mr. Bhawar lal about the same as he is a representative of airtel.. Word of a company reprresentative is trustworthy i suppose.. But i have been fooled by the same person and now i am bound to give the router back which i barely used!!
.
Also i have to call them 5 times to just end the connection they first forced that the connection wouldnt be cut by the end of the month and i have to pay extra after lot of arguements the person finally agreed to cut the connection.. By this they harras and mentally torture a customer until he comes to a point where i had to raise my voice and literally shout at him in short my complaint is
1. Their representative lied to me that the modem was mine after the connection not mentioning that a period of six months is mandatory for that i trusted hin and then signed after skipping that section in the form where the specific about the 6 month period was mentioned!
2. Have to call 6 times atleast and argue for about half an hour just to end the connection!

I have called 7 times in a day regarding the issue i was facing of net getting 3g network on my sim to the customer care but nothing happened so far, customer care executive who attend my call assured me to resolve the issue with in half an hour.

Hi Airtel Team,

Sub: I have lost my kerala sim card and looking for a duplicate sim now.

I am really fed up with your service here.
This is the limit.

It has been more than a week that I have been going behind various Airtel stores to get a duplicate sim for the same number.

I have visited 3 different airtel stores in bangalore and kerala.
No one is able to understand what the problem is.

Store people inform me that the sim is activated, but showing as no service to me.

The service which i got from the kasturi nagar airtel store(bangalore) is the worst. Pathetic.
Indira store (bangalore) is also so frustrating, only the manager mr.Parth shah was trying to help me out.

I have been missing a lot of appointments due to this.

I have been using this sim for the past 9 years.
Let me know if you can do something to find what the issue is and solve it.

The latest update being that they are asking me to come to the store again.
How hard can it be to get a sim card.

let me know if this can be done.
Otherwise I will look out for other network operators.
Awaiting for your response.

Sir/Madam,
I am using airtel prepaid number [protected] .I request you to please send the details including the address of [protected] who called me on my another airtel number [protected] at the back of 1 month ago .
As I need the address of the caller, please send the details to my mail id bhanukunditipadugu @gmail.com
If you send details to Mobile, please send to [protected]
Thanking you,
Yours,

Hi I had airtel prepaid life long sim and it's number is [protected] by last week. I tried out to block my sim through another airtel sim but "the service is not available" is the only answer from the company, all I need is to block my sim.

Hello,
I have been using this airtel number [protected] which belonged to delhi ncr region. On 12th july i got addmission in iit kharagpur so i placed a request for mnp and the number got transferred to wb circle on 21st of july after paying an amount of rs 300 in which i got rs 171 balance. I made last call on 22nd of july and remaining balance was around rs. 144. After that i am not able to make any call because my phone balance is made nil by airtel and i am not able to get my number further recharged due to some network issues. I talked to customer care executive many times since 23rd of july. They are not providing any correct information and misguiding me. Moreover, different cce gives different information about the problem and nobody is solving the problem. One of the cce told me that my number is still in delhi ncr region and i should talk to delhi ncr region cce.

I am in deep travel as i am not able to contact my family and friend.
Kindly look into the matter as soon as possible.

Hoping for early relief.

Regards
Jaiprakash nagar
