I initiated the recharge of rs 98 on 16 september 2020 and it got deducted from the bank account but on the final window it showed transaction failed/gateway timed out. Now my recharge is not done and the amount is also deducted. Kindly look into this.

    Dear sir,

    I will try to explain you my problem and hope action will be taken on it.

    The issue:

    1. On 11th sept 2020, i have submitted the request for airtel xstream fiber broadband service. Also, i have paid the amount 3036/- on that day only. After that, i got the application number i. E. [protected]. They said that on 14th sept 2020, your connection setup will be done by eod. Also, they said, i will get a call from technical expertise for the setup.

    2. On 14th sept 2020, i allied up airtel xstream fiber customer care and they said our technical expertise will call you in 72hrs but as per the text message, they will call me in 24hrs. But i haven't got any call from the customer care.

    3. On 15th sept 2020, i was tried to following up on customer care and local service provider but they didn't respond and resolve my problem.

    4. On 16th sept 2020, i was tried to following up on customer care and loral service provider but they don't resolve my problem again.

    At this stage, i am having a hard time explaining your teams.

    My problem:

    1. My connection setup is not done yet and i have already paid the amount for the same.

    2. Airtel's expertise is not resolving my problem. I continuously following up with them regarding my problem.

    3. My job is depending on broadband service and if i'm not getting this by today then my organization will be fire from my job.

    4. Even i'm not able to request for another connection because i don't have the money.

    5. If the connection setup is not done by today then please give my money now so i can request another service.

    I can understand the current situation and even i'm not shouted on the customer care while discussing my problem.

    I hope you will resolve my problem as soon as possible.

    Stay home and stay safe.

          Address: AP

          From morning, my airtel sim network has gone and no mobile is detecting the sim card. Have called to airtel customer care to help me replace it with a working one, for that they asking me to pay for and get a duplicate sim card by visiting their store. If there is some damage with sim card is airtel is not responsible for it. If this is case why we are paying monthly as a recharge if airtel is not taking care of such small thing. I need proper response for this.

              Please refer tele-conversation with customer executives of airtel on 30/08/2020 at 10.00 & 10.06 pm & 31/08/2020 11.20 am, under which i have already requested for disconnection of airtel broadband id : [protected]_dsl, customer relationship no. [protected]. Customer executives have convinced the reason for disconnection and accepted my request. Afterwards i also received a couple of calls regarding the reason for disconnection and i have explained them in detail but i have not received any confirmation of disconnection either through mail or sms. I again repeat the reason that i have shifted my residence to government quarters at sector-12, r k puram, delhi where there is no feasibility of airtel fixed landline or any fibre connection. So i have no choice except disconnection of fixed landline or broadband connection. Therefore, i am again requesting that please confirm the disconnection of airtel landline no. [protected] and broadband id_[protected]_dsl wef 30/08/2020. I have already paid the last bill upto 01/09/2020 for rs 771.60 on 09/09/2020 through online payment of sbi portal vide payment reference no.[protected]igajjdwah1. Please help to get the confirmation of disconnection of my broadband connection as stated above.

                Airtel internet connectivity is very poor in my town due to your employee. As long as light stays, airtel network/internet work excellent but when the light was gone so then there all network goes. The person who has been given the responsibility of running the tower, he steals the oil on daily basis and sells it at the local oil shop. He never runs the generator to manage the light connectivity, whenever we asked them why the network is not coming, he says it airtel server issue. Due tocovid 19, my company allow me to do the work from home but due to your poor internet connectivity might be i lost my job and projects. He keeps doing this for 4 months. His name is pankaj singh. The address of the tower is: khemipur nidheyawa, tarun block, faizabad, uttar pradesh 224195

                  Hi,
                  Recently my mobile network failed on its own, nothing was disturbed.
                  I went to airtel store and they told me to replace the sim card by paying 25rs as fees.

                  My questions :
                  1. If the sim is not physically damaged, why should customer bear the charges
                  2. They take 25rs while sim mrp is 5rs.
                  3. They won't issue gst invoice for the same

                  Airtel has converted this as source by deactivating the sim from backend and promoting customer to pay for it without his fault. I could see number of customers in queue for the same issue.

                    I'd requested for an airtel broadband connection, for which the executive sent by airtel asked me to pay the installation fee of ₹1000 + gst and monthly rental of ₹499 + gst, a total of ₹1768/- in total and have never heard from them again. I was given a technician's contact number. I call him and he asks me to wait until he finds a nearby port to provide internet connection to me. After two days when i call him, he says there is no feasibility. If there is no feasibility, why should the airtel executive come and receive my money when he clearly knows he can't provide me the broadband connection. During receiving the amount, he said there was no fiber connection available, but copper wire connection was available.

                          I have ported mi idea number [protected] to airtel on 29 jun 2020. I got the airtel sim after 4 days of the port request. I have been trying to dial 59059 for airtel sim tele verification and action but it automatically gets disconnected. The sim shows either roaming signal or emergency calls.

                          I tried to call airtel operators at my location but they are not helping me to resolve the issue.

                          Please help me get my number activated it's been 3 months now.

                          I had complained about this on 12 jul 2020 but it's not yet resolved.

                          I'm surprised that airtel is not at all listening to customer problems.

                                Address: Ulsoor, Bangalore, India

                                On sept 10th, i requested for fibernet broadband connection in bangalore and a person named shiv shinde coordinated and got me to pay for 3 months.

                                I have paid rs. 2828.

                                Airtel hasn’t processed the request since. Customer care is not approachable at all. I have sent mails and tried calling shiv shinde. There is no answer. I believe they have deactivated my request without any communication.. I understand this is a common practice and they will not give your money till you go after them. I wish i knew before i paid the amount.

                                I need my refund of rs 2828.

                                  I have applied for new connection many times in airtel broadband but they always denied the request and that too without doing a physical check at my location, a broadband connection is already in my area just opposite my house (BS Convent School). how come this school got a connection by airtel and i am denied. someone said the line is choked then how come whole peoples campus enjoy airtel services from so many years, why Airtel hasn't fixed the line yet, someone has to do it so why are they not doing it, Airtel values it's customers but here it's employees are just denying the request from over a year, they just dont wanna do the fixing work maybe. It's not like my area is too far to reach when they have whole campus just in 200 meters from my house having broadband lines. And since they are denying my connection other customers are also not able to enjoy Airtel services, someone from airtel said give us 8-10 connections and we will get you a connection, we cannot do it just for one connection. it felt like AIRTEL DOESN'T CARE! I hope this complaint spread like a troll and someone at higher authority know how airtel services are getting ruined by people at lower grounds.

                                  P.S : This BS convent School has airtel connection, and Peoples Public School, the whole Peoples Campus runs on Airtel Broadband.

                                  I have been getting calls and now one of them said that they will need permission from airtel to cover my area as there is no line here, old line is not fiber, they would need to lay a new fiber line for me and to do that they need permission, now what am i supposed to do, since who will take permission and last year also same problem, looks like airtel is not expanding, and I am not living in any village, the main road is just 400 meters away...I think they always have a fiber line on the main road.
