Dear Airtel Team,

I'm writing to express my disappointment and frustration with the service provided by Airtel. I've been a loyal Airtel Black Plan user for many years, and recent events have left me feeling dissatisfied.

Two-three months ago, one of the sim cards in my pack stopped working due to a sim card reader issue, disrupting calls, internet services, netbanking, and UPI transactions. Despite multiple...

Poor 5G Network Performance and Data Deduction Issue Airtel

I am facing continuous network issues with Airtel 5G service on my mobile number [protected].

Although 5G (5G++) is shown on my device and I have received confirmation that 5G is available in my area, the actual performance is very poor. The internet speed is extremely low (around 3–10 Mbps), and the network frequently switches between 5G and 4G.

Due to this instability, my daily data is getting deducted from...

Regards To Airtel Postpaid Plans

Address: Airtel Center, Plot No. 16, Udyog Vihar (Sub. Major Laxmi Chand Rd), Gurugram, Haryana 122015, India

Regards To Airtel Postpaid Plans.

Airtel needs to rethink its postpaid plans.

Users on ₹449 and above plans get unlimited data (with fair usage around 300GB on 4G/5G), which is good. But what about ₹349 plan users?

There is only a ₹100 difference between ₹349 and ₹449 plans, yet ₹349 users don’t get similar benefits. At least 150GB 4G/5G data should be provided in the ₹349 postpaid...

I am writing to inform you that my 5G unlimited service is not working properly. Instead of providing unlimited 5G data, my plan is consuming my 4G data, which is limited to only 2GB per day. This is causing inconvenience for me.

I am a student, and I specifically chose this plan for the unlimited 5G benefit to support my studies and daily usage. However, due to this issue, I am unable to use the service as expected. I kindly...

Website: www.airtel.in

I received a phone call claiming to activate 5G services for my Airtel number. During the call, I was asked to share an OTP, which I unknowingly shared.
After that, my number was converted from prepaid to postpaid without my consent. This is a fraudulent and unauthorized action.
I contacted customer care, but they refused to reverse the change and asked me to wait 15 days and pay the bill.
I clearly state that I did not...

I am unable to reach Airtel customer care through call or app.

I want to unbundle my Airtel Black plan and cancel my DTH connection immediately.

There is no proper option to speak with a customer care executive, and I am stuck with bot responses.

Please arrange a callback and process my request urgently....

Unlimited 5G Not Working After 2GB Daily Limit - False Advertising

I recharged with Airtel's ₹349 plan which advertises "Unlimited 5G Data"
over and above the 2GB daily limit. However, after 2GB is exhausted,
internet stops working completely. Even basic websites like speedtest.net
do not load.

Airtel has officially admitted in a previous complaint response that:
"Data from the recharge pack gets consumed once the network latches into
4G instead of...

Complaint Regarding False Promise During SIM Porting

Address: Kada, Maharashtra

Dear Airtel Customer Care,

I ported my mobile number to Airtel recently. During the porting process, the Airtel representative clearly informed me that I would receive a one-month free recharge after the porting was completed.

However, even after completing the porting process, I have not received the promised free recharge. This is very disappointing and appears to be a false promise made by your representative...

I cancelled my Airtel Wi-Fi broadband connection on 30 January 2026. Despite the cancellation request, Airtel has continued to generate a bill dated 06 March 2026 for ₹236 showing “Safe Custody Charges”.

I did not request Safe Custody for my connection and I had already asked for disconnection of the service. Therefore, billing me after cancellation is incorrect.

I request Airtel to:

Mobile Network Service Activation

Voice Mail Service is not provisioned on my Airtel mobile number.

Dialling 52555 does not allow mailbox setup and repeatedly says invalid mobile number at the callback number stage.
This indicates the VMS feature is missing from my HLR/IN profile.

Please enable Voice Mail Service (VMS) on my number and refresh HLR provisioning so voicemail mailbox can be created....

I have been using my airtel number ([protected]) since Feb, 2012. The SIM has stopped working suddenly, it is not being detected by any phone.

Similar thing happened around 7 years back when the sim had stopped working and the person told me that it is not under my name, so, i submitted my documents and details to prove that number belonged to me. They had issued me a new sim.

Recently, the sim has stopped working...
