Hi Airtel! I had taken an year long plan of airtel broadband[protected]_dsl in indore in August 2020. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to shift to jodhpur in November 2020. I had raised a request to shift my connection to jodhpur but it was not available as confirmed by airtel team. They told me the refund amount of around Rs 7500 will be processed in 45 days. It has been more then 60 days but there has been no refund or update of any sort. I hoped airtel service would be much better as compared to jio but the experience has been pathetic. Please let me know what I need to do to get the refund asap.

I am Head HR of a reputed infra construction company Hyderabad. We have been calling one airtel manager Mr. Nawab Pasha Mobile No:[protected]. Last ten days he has been promising that he would come or send one of his team members. even after ten days nothing has happened;

even calls on 121 and 198 are of no use.

Thanks AIrtel for your dis-service to corporates also. I wish one day because of Jios aggressive customer service attitude, Airtel would disappear from the Indian market; thanks to its Managers like Mr. Nawab P:asha.

    I had a post paid number which was kept under safe custody with Airtel India. The account had enough money to keep the number under safe custody for a long time but somehow Airtel decided to disconnect the number with any informing me about it.
    I have been trying to get Airtel to get me my number back as I had that number for more than 10 years and most of my contacts know that number. Airtel’s email reply are so bad that, no one reads the emails and keeps telling me to come to a store to get a new number.
    Airtel customer support has been worse, they never call me back, I have spent more than 4000 Rs in the last two months to get some information about why the number was disconnected and how to get it back. Each time they need 48 hours to get back to me but they never do actually get back. I have to call them again and then they again ask for 48 hours. Most of the times their support has tried to blame me for this disconnection (which is not the case). I have been told the following,
    1. You took it out of safe custody (reading an email from last to last year).
    2. You have not been using the phone. (A phone under safe custody can’t be used)
    3. There was no money on the account. (It had credit on the it and it was disconnected after which they have supposedly sent me that money back via check, which I can’t confirm as I am not in India. Also I never asked them to do so, that money was to keep the safe custody in play).
    4. One guy told me that I have to send them an email every month to keep it in safe custody (I was never notified of any such policy change, I used to turn on the safe custody and keep it on till I wanted to use the number).

    Airtel social media services are another place where I tried. Let me tell you these guys are even worse. They don’t read any messages and also laugh at you when you are trying to explain them your problem. They asked me to send a family member to Delhi store to just check the availability of the number (which somehow the customer care can not do internally). When I did send someone to the store, the store told my family that the number is with Vodafone now (it was ported from Vodafone). When they visited to Vodafone, they confirmed that Airtel has still not sent the number back. Now they both are making my family run around in stores just because Airtel does not care about their customers.

        Hello Team,
        I have a broadband connection from Airtel at my residence in Padmanabhanagar. I have been their customer since 2010. From last 3-4 months there has been issue related to the speed and every hour internet is getting dropped and speed is very slow. Download speed is 25mbps and upload is 0.05mbps
        Initially I opted for 999 plan where the I used to get around 60mbps and around 9mbps upload speed and when this issue started technician advised saying the line doesn’t support this speed and hence there is drop in internet. Later I changed to 499/- plan where the speed should be around 40mbps
        This happened during Aug/sep 2020 time frame and post change of plan still my internet used to drop every hour and it takes about 10-12 mins to get booted again.
        Technician did all possible checks and changed modem (twice) replaced wire coming from DP/pole and still issue is same
        The backend team are not accepting and very arrogant in understanding the problem and their responses.
        they are not coming up proper fix for my issue

        In a day more than 20 times this issues is happening and after many tickets and escalations still the same issue
        Still they haven’t laid out the fiber cable as well in this area.
        I don’t have other options. See attached screenshot of speed.
        With this speed how can they expect to do office work ?

        Thanks

              I had recharged my Airtel Prepaid sim on 23rd December 2020 with Rs.401 pack which includes 30GB data along with Disney plus Hotstar subscription. My money(Rs.401) has been debited from my HDFC account. But the recharge failed. Its still not credited back to my account.
              This is a very bad thing to happen as I am new to Airtel; a real bad experience. I request my money back.
              My order ID :[protected] .
              Please credit my money back soon !
              Thank you.

                Dear Sir,

                I have recharged my father mobile number [protected] on 01.01.2021 13.10 using my Phone Pe app. I paid the airtel recharge plan of Rs.598 using my Axis bank UPI Rs.588 Ref No UPI P2M[protected] and Balance Rs.10 paid by Airtel Bank Ref No.Tnx ID [protected] on the same time. Unfortunately the recharge was not completed. Hence I requested resolution through my Phonepe app on the same day Approximately 3 hours later from the recharge time. Unfortunately the recharge also not completed eventhough I raised ticket through Phonepe app. I called the phoenpe customer care number [protected] on the same day 18.52 and have a conversation with the customer care executive about 17 Minutes 45 seconds. I was not received any favorable reply from the customer care side. My father mobile number validity has expired and he could not able to make outgoing calls and sms. He also not able to receive incoming calls and sms. Because of that He and Me mentally upset and frustrated with this bad service from Phonepe and Airtel. Because of not recharging my father mobile number in a timely manner he has heavy loss in his business. During this New Year festivel he could not able to get incoming and outgoing calls in his mobile he met an heavy loss in his bussiness. So he planned to go to the consumer court for his loss.

                Thanks and Regards,
                A. Hariharasudhan

                    My name is Arpita dubey and my airtel landline number is 4233689. I made a request to reactivate my broadband connection on 28th dec 20 and i was told that it will take 4 working days and gets resolved by 31 dec 2020. When i called after 4 days to get the updated status i was told that ur activation request is registered today only even after sharing refrence request number of my previous request they didnt listen me and raised new request. Now they are saying it will be activated by 2nd Jan 9.36 am. Also i am getting calls from airtel customer care that it is mandatory to switch to postpaid broadband in order to reactivate broadband connection and also saying that after one month of postpaid broadband i can switch same connection to prepaid. Whereas when i discussed same thing to airtel customer care by calling them they said there is no such scheme of transferring same connection to prepaid from postpaid. In just one day i spoke to 7-8(muskan, sonali, Karan, Ashwini, Jyoti, Moorthy, Umakant etc...) of customer care dept and each one in coming with different stories. Also they are very annoying they dont listen to customer and keep telling the same thing what they know even when its incorrect.
                    Airtel seriously don't care about his customers and i am a big proof of dat.

                              I recharged a wrong airtel number through airtel website. I want that amount to be refunded back to my account. And I can't reach an executive to register the compliant. I want to refund that immediately.
