Good! Airtel values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Airtel step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

There are bank toll free numbers where we can call banks and for any issues which are toll free numbers. But Airtel is charging Amin balance @Rs2.5/min Even I recharged unlimited pack, calling toll free numbers is not eligible with unlimited packs, Airtel is charging more amount of money from customers for calling toll free numbers even if we have unlimited recharges done.. Even calling Airtel customer care, they are not responding properly...

constant red light in my dongle from morning to night.

Address: Magarpatta City, beside DC, Pune, Maharashtra

From today morning onwards, 26th December 2019, i am getting only red light or no network in my dongle.

balance deduction summary

I've purchased a new airtel sim and ever since it has been showing deduction summary without proper mention of details. It's unusual to show such heavy deduction in unlimited pack recharges. It already sent an sms of free 5gb data and then it began charging for this free data too.in worst case i decided to take this action. Truly disappointed by unreasonable deduction of airtel. Kindly take a look......

Address: #203, Haripriya residency, JCR layout 2nd main, Boganhalli main road, panathur,, Bangalore, Karnataka, 560087

Airtel restricts/controls customers ability to make phone call. Airtel is not allowing to make "1860" number calling to any customer care of any consumer products. For example airtel doesnt allow to call acquaguard service centre water purfier ([protected]).

Regarding this context we have called the airtel customer care multiple times but it was never resolved.

Customer complaint number raised against the following...
