no signal problem

I was not getting any network. After trying the sim in different phones i realized problem is with sim card. I Called the customer care at 121, they advised me to change sim. I got the new sim and inserted it in the phone slot. I received the signal in 10 min and a msg stating "your services have been set. Please restart handset". After restarting i'm getting a "no service" message. What is the issue. Why do i have to keep running around...

my airtel app sucks

Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh
Website: Airtel

Ever since i bought a new 4g sim i haven't been able to make calls with it. I thought that's not too much of a issue, i'll contact customer support for some help but the app is so badly made that there is no avenue to submit a custom complaint. They have a few options and those are the only one's you can submit queries for them.
Their customer care number isn't too great either. An automated system that makes you run in circles. This...

calls not connecting to 1860 numbers

Address: Kolkata, West Bengal, 700022

This is getting ridiculous. Every time i call a 1860 number from my number [protected] i keep getting a few beeps and the call gets disconnected. The issue persists over multiple handsets. On calling the customer care the standard response is that it will be resolved in 48 hours or that it will work after restarting the phone which hasn't worked. Not great customer service. If a resolution is not provided i will be forced to change subscribers....
