worst network in marathahalli bangalore

Address: 560037

The signal for airtel is very poor in our area and we are facing a lot of problem while attending important calls. I am unable to hear others properly on call nor do others hear me.
Signal bar shows only one line. Voice breaks while on the call. Facing this issue from almost 2 years. The experience we have with airtel is pathetic and we have many airtel sims at our home.
Need resolution for this...

unable to make a call even with a valid unlimited call plan

My unlimited will expire after 13 days. Still i'm unable to make a call. When icall someone, it says 'u do not have sufficient balance to make a call'. I've tried shifting network type, also i tried to make a call with mobile data off but still not able to make a call. It is very disappointing to bear such problems. Pls fix this issue as soon as possible....
