Dear Sir/Madam,

I did a recharge on 18/08/2020 of Rs. 49 on my no. [protected], giving me a validity of 28 days. Before this I had 10 days validity left on this no. But after doing the recharge of Rs. 49, these leftover 10 days had not added up to the new 28 days. When I contacted the Airtel Customer Care Specialist, she said that add on facility is not available for these recharges. But the irony here is the data and talk time have been added in the account.

Moreover, when I am trying to get this information being reached to Airtel people, there is no such option in Airtel Thanks App. I emailed this issue to their email id [protected]@in.airtel.com, but I was getting the reply that my email id is not registered, and I have to call on 121 to get my email id registered. When I am calling to 121 (My airtel no. is on Roaming), it is saying that the no. is not valid. I inquired about this too from Airtel Customer Care, but they said to contact the local Airtel Office.

I think that previous leftover validity days should get added to the new recharge days, otherwise people will refrain from getting their no. recharged in advance. You are also getting extra income because of this. Being an esteemed and leading company, you should look over this matter urgently.

Also, look for calling issue to 121 from roaming and how to add email id online or through phone, as it is difficult for me to personally go to Airtel Office.

Thanks and regards
Virendra Kumar Pal

        I had opted for airtel broadband connection and had paid an advanced installment of three months.
        I made the payment from my debit card.
        I was told it was possible to get the fiber to my home.
        After the engineers came it was found out it wasn't possible .
        I had opted for refund at the same moment and this was 3 weeks ago on 1st of August.
        I have not recieved my refund yet.

        I even mailed airtel on [protected]@in.airtel.com still no reply has been given to me.

        I want my money back please refund.
        It is pitiful that a company like airtel is handling refunds in such bad manner.

        I will suggest everyone to not take any airtel connections in any way ever.

        Please refund it as soon as possible.
        My application number is

          I can't recharge using the amount in my airtel wallet even though it's more than enough. At this rate I can't ever use my balance in airtel wallet.

                  There is no wifi broadband connection available in my area. Airtel store is 8km away from my home. I reached out to them they said there is no airtel tower in my area. So it is not possible to setup wifi connection. And then u people claim to be the best network coverage.
                  I[censored] can't adress the people's requirements then please don't claim that. I hope to get some help regarding this as this is the issue alot of people are facing in my area.

                    I have a 60×60 feet area in an highly elevated but leved terrain in the following address
                    At/po/ps - bamebari, via-joda, dist-keonjhar, odisha, pin: 758034. I wish airtel to set up a new tower here. This can provide coverage to about 10 villages with satisfactory population.
                    Morover this area is having only coverage of bsnl and vodafone. These networks are good for nothing for the people of this area. We only get the coverage very rarely, we have to get to other places to even place an emergency call.
                    Setting up an network will also bring airtel a lot of customers.

                      I am unable to access internet and make calls. Despite having a working 4g connection the area the network speeds are pathetic and show 2g connectivity mostly.
                      This is countering to the company's claim to provide 4g.
                      Despite complaing to appellate and nodal authority of theirs since sep, 2019 no action whatsoever has been taken on airtel's behalf to rectify the same.
                      They should provide the compensation for the same as the paid services are not being provided. This is surely a cheating.

                            My name is Avisek Bhattacharjee. I'm from Berhampore, Murshidabad, West Bengal. I'm a regular customer of Airtel prepaid service. My contact no. Is [protected]. 27th June 2020 I recharged my sim via Airtel Payment Bank. Prepaid plan was 598 rs & After redeemed 40 Rs Coupon Code transaction amount was 558. Transaction I'd no. [protected]. From 12th Aug I faced some severe network problem. App download time was too slow, long searching times, in the time of monetary transactions faced timeout problems. I lodged complaints to Airtel Via Twitter. They only ask my area pin code but doing nothing. Still I faces network problems & they demands that their network progressing everyday. I paid full amount for 4g network, then why I'm accept this speed like 2g? Is this not cheating?

                            New problem. Sometimes 4g signal vanishes and E sign appeare. No network available then.

                            No action from Airtel. Still slow network problem continues. Here is the example

                            1) 4g sign displays on the top but Airtels own Own app Airtel thanks tells that no 4g network switch on. But 4g status always switch on. Is this good service?

                            2) After sometime 4g network vanished & "E" sign" displayed on the top. Why?

                            3) For slow network I unable to use Amazon .
                            Now questions is that is Airtel deliberately neglected their customers to promote their costly premium service? If yes then this is totally opposite of net neutrality.

                                      Their service engineer Vikash Sharma has stolen Rs. 120 from me. But Airtel refuses to credit it to my bank account or DTH account. They just keep sending bot messages.
