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.

                Address: Greater noida

                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.

                            My Airtel fast tag had got blacklisted during travelling due to shortage of funds. After that I tried recharging it but there was some error. Even after repeated attempts I was unable to recharge it and so I decided to close my Airtel fast tag and my Airtel payment bank account. From past four months I have been trying to close down my FASTag and my Airtel payment bank account but the company has been paying no proper response to it. I have been trying really hard to abide by every possible solution but it has all been in vain. I am a repeated efforts to contact the CONSUMER CARE and solve my problem but all I have been getting is false commitments and hoax solutions.Due to the negligence and unethical behaviour of the company and its consumer care employees I have not been able to use my FASTag nor have I been able to purchase another FASTag from any other company. I have been forced by the company to tender cash at tolls does risking my life during the pandemic period. It is also cost me public humiliation at the tolls sometimes even had to pay extra because I had entered the FASTag Lane but had to pay in cash. It has also caused me wait the longer cash line. And I now have to stop using my car with Airtel fast tag Whenever travelling outside Pune. That somehow makes my car useless for me when I have to travel outside. The negligence of Airtel company has forcefully stopped me from using my own car as per my convenience.
                            I’m fed up now and so I have decided to lodge an official complain. This entire process has mentally harassed me and literally created frustration to follow the FASTag norms. Please look into this and help me in getting compensation and making the company pay as a punishment so that no other CONSUMER faces this as a company will learn from this.

                              I've ported my no.[protected] from bsnl to airtel and i've also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number, along with this there's poor network signals in our locality. I couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service.

                                    I have installed a Airtel Xtreme Fiber where i got a bill for the month of September in which fixed land line charge is included where as still installation of Fixed Land Line by Airtel is Pending.
                                    why i have to pay for the product which i did not receive yet. Installation is delayed by company because they don't have started it in my Area yet. still they are charging for the same which is yet to be installed

                                        Hi I am using your number only for UPI payment. I used to recharge only for 49 now its changed to 79.. so I started recharging for 79... now SMS is stopped with out any information change in the pack. and now asking me to recharge for unlimited. what is this? why are you not charging for the service I am using.. Now I am thinking of porting out from Airtel.. you are customer services becomes only IVR recording speech.. you are harassing the customer with your recharge plans. why cant you introduce only SMS pack alone. is it digital india...

                                        I dont know whether it is airtel de-registered me from UPI on plan expiry. for only UPI use I cant spend Rs129 every month. If I am not going to get the SMS issue resolved. I will throw the Airtel sim in dustbin.
