    I am very sorry to say that, i have been a part of this pathetic service since past 6-7 years. After attempting numerous calls to the customer service executive, i have been forced to make a consumer court complaint.
    Even after disconnecting the service on 27th of april, i am getting bills around 1178 rs, and as we have requested for disconnection, how are we still getting bills.
    Finally after waiting for 3-4 days of rigorous calls i finally succeeded to connect with one of the airtel customer executive, shivani taneja, she confirmed that she will be transferring her calls to her senior executive and made me wait for 30 mins, after waiting for 30 minutes she told me the senior executive is busy and consoled me that i will receive a call in another 24 hours, but no call till now.

    Its been 2 months now since I made the complaint for disconnection after that many times tried connecting with Airtel customer executive, but no one is taking any steps further.
    [protected] This is the complaint Id that I registered on 27th of April for disconnection request . After that as per IVR the issue was resolved, I don't know how. After that I got broadband bill for the month of May, even though I haven't used a single MB of this pathetic Airtel broadband service.
    [protected] - This is the log id related the conversation done between me and customer service executive, wherein I was kept on hold for 30 mins and then told that the senior can't attend my call. This shows Airtel's capability to handle escalations.
    Even though I was told that I would receive call from the airtel regarding the issues, but I waited for 72 hours (3 days) and made a call and asked them about the status of issue.
    Senior executive (Ruchi) then told me that disconnection will be lodged from the same day not from the day, which I initially raised the disconnection request (i.e on 27th April), Asking for clarifications they told this is the process which they need to adhere to.
    I want my complete resolution along with the mental torture these Airtel executives have made upon me.

    I am not getting any resolution, I am getting multiple calls even after we made the disconnection request regarding why you want to disconnect.
    This is one of the most pathetic connection or customer servicer that we ever received.

          I have recharged my prepaid mobile number: [protected] on 26/06./20 for inr598. The amount has been deducted from the bank account. On returning to the airtel portal it said: error.

          Airtel transaction id: [protected]

          Sbi bank ref:igaivwmxj5

          I tried to call airtel customer service 121, they said to go to airtel thanks app which is not showing this transaction on last 5 transaction list.

          I tried the customer complaint number 198 which could not resolve the problem.

            I am holding a airtel number for a long time. The number is [protected]. Last couple of years facing problems with call as well as mobile internet connection. Airtel asked me to change handsets and sims. This is done couple of times but no respite. Calls gets dropped frequently. Their customer care number 121 always not reachable. Sometime its prompt the number is invalid. Despite my repeated complain nothing gets improved but i do bill payment every month. Some bsnl landline numbers are not reachable at all. I get prompt all routes to this number is busy. This is true for any appliances toll free customer care numbers too. Internet speed is horrible from the begining. Mostly speed lies 0.15 mbps mostly. The issue always remains irrespective of places. On top of that, when i reach customer care, airtel says download their airtel app and raise complain. I stuck in a loop. I will not get internet speed but i need to download airtel app using 2g speed and install the app. What's the solution? I feel airtel is cheating. If required i have all details to submit about airtel.

                Me and my wife both operate mobile with airtel sim. For the last 15 days we are observing that since morning the speed of internet goes very much down. We are not able to open any video or get down loaded any app etc. We both opted for airtel after discontinuing jio sim, due to it's poor performance. As we find that your tower is only at 50 m from our house, we expact an excellent network but it is not happening.
                If the problem persists for a long, we would be compelled to drop your service and opt for some other operator.
                Our phone nos are - [protected] and [protected]

                    The airtel sanctioned/extended post paid family corp cug 20 plans @ 499+18% gst monthly on parents/prime mobile no. [protected] and @ 399+18% gst p. A.

                      I am an airtel customer since 11 years. I have no complaints till now. But, since the last 5 months my internet speeds are 'pathetic'. I always use the phone on my bed after coming back from my work, suddenly my internet became slow one day and since then it remained slow. My download speeds are not more than 0.4 mbps now, 5 months back the download speed was approx 6 mbps. I don't know what went wrong.

                        Address: Mumbai

                        Hi,

                        My mobile number is [protected], and i am an old customer of airtel. I have been living outside india in oman, for last few years and taken the free isd pack to keep my number active. However out of nowhere, for the month of may 2020, i was suddenly charged international roaming charges of 3000, 999 inr per day charges for 3 days in a row. I am not getting any response after i put up a complaint and simply asking me now to pay the bill charged. I need to get charges waived as first step and then use mobile number portability feature if available online to switch to another service provider.

                          Network problem at basement

                          From last many months we're having problem related to internet downstairs (Basement). Upper floors are getting good internet speed but i can't even send a single message downstairs. We already registered complaint and even contacted staff members too many times but no resolution came out from it.in our area most of the people have switched to another network and getting good response so my plan is also to transfer to another better network...

                                    Our village in on telangana and maharashtra border. We don't have any network connectivity. To access mobile internet or even to make calls we have to move to atleast 1 kilometer from my village. There are around 6 villages in our area with no network connectivity.

                                    No reply from airtel side, pathetic customer service.Online education is a myth if network providers like airtel do not do their best by helping the customers with network availability
