The only option to raise complaints regarding Airtel network issues is through the My Airtel App. But the surprising part is you need to be connected to Airtel network for you to raise the complaint.
For eg: I had 1.45GB of Airtel Data on the last day of the expiry, and wanted to use it. However the data network was not working. So I connected to my Wifi(BSNL) using my other mobile, and try to access the app, while diagnosing it said " Connected to Wifi, please connect to the mobile network and try again".
Will they provide me the data balance for use later, as they are not able to service the data before expiry.
In an earlier instance, there was no network for calls also, and a similar issue. It asked me are you in the location where you are facing the issue, I selected No, and it said "Please go to the location where there is no network and try again"
So, this is the best way to ensure that there are "ZERO" consumer complaints like the ad which says what others are hiding and Airtel is not. Obviously, no compalints can be raised.

Complaint marked as Resolved This issue was never addressed. The only way to raise complaints is to use the app, which requires data/coverage. If you try to connect to a Wifi through tethering with someone else to raise the complaint, the app says connect to data and try again. Same with not able to make calls when there is not signal. So ideally how can anyone raise a complaint when there is no coverage in the location where the issue is occurring. This way they can claim that there are no consumer complaint. To site an example: my mom's phone was not having signal from many days in her area, and she called me from landline. so I called customer care number and chose the option: not able to make calls or access internet. The AVR automatically says your complaint is registered. Then I had to call from my BSNL number to register the complaint. So please anyone buying airtel connection, please ensure that you also have any other providers call and data with you so that you can raise complaints when your airtel is not working. Just thinking: Instead why not just take connection from an alternate provider so that you don't have to maintain 2 connections.
