I have requested for Airtel broadband on 8 October 2021
Airtel Representative Nilesh came and filled the online form and I made the online payment
However even after promising of installation in 3 days no one came up at my doors even after 5 days
I am very disappointed
This is making me restless
I am having online classes and its very difficult for me to attend using mobile data
I would like to tell that I called the customer care thrice
they always said that installation would be done in 24 hours but no one called in this regard

          Address: 244, H.B.Colony, Sector 7 Extn., GGn-122001

          Resp. Concern,
          I am using Airtel mobile No from last so many years. It was on 11th Oct, 2021 i received SMS on all 3 numbers of family plan from company stating my post paid plan has been upgraded from My Plan family New 799 - PB to My Plan Infinity 999. I was surprised to receive this SMS as i have requested for any type of change in my plan. So i called 121 and Customer care executive spoken to me. Without our consent they have upgraded our plan and not listening to the request of reversing the same.

          So at least i was left with no other option to register my complain with you. I want you to:
          1. Reverse my Billing Plan to the previous one (As mentioned above) . As i will not pay any increase in my bill due to this change.
          2. I want you to take some very strict action against whoever have changed this plan by himself/herself. I also request you to kindly inform me what action company has taken for this.

          I request you to please take this as a very serious matter and do the need full as early as possible.

          Thanking you

                  I recharged my number today. After recharge I realized I gave my other number on which already an active pack is running. I wanted to recharge the my second number. Right now it's showing 2 active packs on my account.. Either pls transfer one pack on my other number or pause one pack and activate the other pack only after one finishes.

                    I want to inform you that I am highly disappointed with the services and false promises I am receiving from the Airtel Customer care team.

                    Couple of days back I visited the Airtel Store located in Pimple Saudagar and enquired about the Airtel Black plan and its benefits, I have been told that one of the benefits of Airtel Black is ZERO shifting charges. I asked specifically if there will be any charges when I place the request from "Pune, MH" to "Jabalpur, MP" i.e. inter-state transfer and they informed that there won't be any charges. I then enquired the same calling Airtel Customer Care and they also confirmed the same and informed me that you just need to raise a request and carry the modem and adapter yourself. Hence, I have upgraded my plan to Airtel Black.

                    3-4 days back I called customer care and raised a request to shift my Broadband connection on Sunday/10-Oct given my address details. They have taken the request and again confirmed to me that our engineer will call you on 10th Oct for the installation at the given address.

                    On 9th Oct, I called customer care to confirm the shifting process, they informed me that my request had been cancelled from the back-end and raised a request again.
                    When I haven't received any call from the Airtel engineer for the installation, I called customer care again on 10th and got to know that the request has been cancelled one more time.

                    After waiting for 1 hour on 10th Oct, when I hadn't received any SR number on my registered mobile, I called the Cust care again and to my disappointment he informed me that request has been cancelled again and he asked me to raise a new request. At this point I got frustrated and lost complete faith in Airtel Customer care, so I insisted to investigate why my request is being cancelled again and again. He informed me that because you are Airtel Black customer, you won't be able to place a shifting request to a different State/City and I need to unbundle the Black benefits. I desperately needed the broadband at my new location asap as I have to resume office (working from home) from Monday, I gave my go-ahead, but he further disappointed me saying first you need to clear your outstanding bill, which triggered me to raise a grievance against pathetic Airtel Customer Service.

                    I want to ask - why the Airtel Customer care team is making false promises to the customers just to lure them to migrate to Airtel Black ?

                    Appreciate if above concerns will be addressed and resolved on very high priority.

                              Hi, I travelled for work and got stuck due to the pandemic situation and could not return immediately as planned.

                              My airtel number which I was using for the last 15 years has been recycled. The customer care and the local Airtel outlet not being very helpful in restoring the service and getting the number assigned back to me.

                                I am in UAE - My sim card is working fine in terms of receiving calls and making outgoing calls, but I'm not able to use Mobile data nor able to send any outgoing messages.

                                I did many recharges like :
                                799 roaming pack
                                100 rupees top up for main balance x 2 times
                                755 data package

                                Still I don't know why the error is showing that message not sent, send again 😕.

                                Please help me.

                                  I requested for static IP for my broadband on 2nd Oct req#[protected]. Was told that within 72 hrs the request will be completed but I never received any update.

                                  Post 72 hrs I have been calling everyday for my request update but the dedicated service team promises the same thing- it has been escalated and you will get call back from backend team within 4 hrs but nothing happened. They keep giving me false assurance, there is no way you can escalate this issue to higher authority in airtel. I asked to discuss this issue with senior manager in airtel but I was told that no one is available and they will schedule a call back but it never happens.

                                  The irony is that they started charge of static IP on my monthly bill without enabling this service. I had used this service in past and it was a smooth experience. With Airtel Blank premium service its getting worse. Been with airtel for the past 20 years but now I seriously thinking of changing to another provider if I don't get fast resolution to this issue.

                                        Hello,
                                        I am unable to stop the Class 0 Message which is coming from airtel. I tried all the possibilities that could be done to stop this. Tried to talk with customer care too but they don't give much response to it.
                                        Need a solution for this to stop the Class 0 Message (also called Flash Messages).

                                        Thank You.
