I was not getting any network. I also changed my sim. I got the new sim and inserted it in the phone slot got signal for 5mins then, i received a msg stating "your services have been set. Please restart handset". After restarting, again getting a "no service" message. What is the issue. Why do i have to keep running around repeatedly.

I've been chasing for a bill since last month or so for a newly procured broadband connection, the customer care is in covid-19 with no accountability

Dear madam/sir,
I got a recharge of rs 45/- on my Airtel mobile number [protected] with 28 days validity from freecharge.in website, but it still says insufficient balance.

I urge you to kindly look into it.

This is what freecharge.in customer care said,

"The operator has confirmed that the transaction was successful with following detail -
Order ID: FCVM[protected]
Recharge Number: [protected]
Recharge amount and date: Rs.45.0 and 08-Jun-2020
Operator ID:[protected]
Plan details: ₹45
Enjoy Local & STD calls 2.5p/sec, National Video Calls 5p/sec, DATA 50p/MB; SMS Re.1 Local, Rs.1.5 STD, Rs.5 ISD
Validity: 28 Days"

I got a success SMS on my mobile too from Erecharge (attached Screenshot)

Thank you.

Mr Bharti, it's high time you shut down this piece of junk network called airtel. Your company is nothing but a group of high profile swindlers. I ported by airtel sim few days back, I am at peace now . I wonder how you still survive, may be from the loot you made during late 2000s. The so called 4G gives me a speed of 0.1- 1 Mbps most of the time and an astonishing 4Mbps at its max. Damn! Poor jio could manage only 12Mbps for half the price( this is during the lockdown) . I dare you add rating to your airtel website. I wager it would be as good as your speed 1 ###

- Yours seething customer

My airtel hotspot device is not providing connectivity even though the network bar shows green.
The airtel sim i have in my mobile works perfectly fine in same location.
Is this issue with device or the sim in it?
Its extremly frustrating

I had tried to recharge airtel number [protected] on 19 may through hdfc netbanking. The amount 598 rs was deducted but recharge failed.

I had applied for a new airtel xstream fiber with digital application form no.[protected] on 22.05.2020. Advance rental of rs. 4128.00 paid vide transaction no.[protected]. Unfortunately, due to some technical problems this application was rejected and therefore the new connection was not activated. Then, as per the advice of the sales personnel, i applied with another digital application and paid advance rent once again and activated the connection. Now i have not received back the amount paid for the above mentioned failed transaction. Contacted many times the sales personnel who helped me to arrange the connection but no result. Kindly make arrangements for refund of rs. 4128.00 at the earliest.
With regards
V. D. Henry.

I had taken a 10 day international pack for uae on my postpaid number on 29th september 2019. It was a 10 day pack and activated at 6:30 pm uae time/ 9pm ist. The pack was worth 3, 599 inr for 10 days usage.

It was supposed to be valid upto 9th october 2019 till 9pm ist. I had cancelled the subscription on 9th oct 2019 itself before 9pm ist after returning to india.

The charge was rightfully deducted in my september bill. However, when i received the bill for october, the company had again deducted inr 3, 599 citing the service for international roaming pack to start from 9th october 2019. On enquiring the customer care, they said that their count of days starts from 12am mid night and not from the time when the pack was activated.

This is outright cheating. And i request airtel to refund me my money.

My disputed bill number is bm203i[protected]. Kindly help resolve this asap

This is to inform you that i had applied for a airtel xtreme fibre broadband connection (799/ month plan). I had paid the advance for 3 months package (Inr which included free installation of the broadband modem and landline connection.
It has been 7 days already, and still the connection has not been installed,
I have spoken to the executives who had collected my documents and were responsible for the connection, they informed me that it will take only two to three days for setting up the connection. But after several days now, they are just making excuses that some box needs to be set up in the apartment (Which i already had procured permission from the society and have informed the executives), but still everyday they are just telling me false stories that the connection will be set up today/tomorrow.
So i have requested them to cancel my broadband request and refund me the amount as they are unable to set it up. They are even telling that the cancellation will take time and even if they do cancel, i will get an intimation after 7 days. What i do not get is that, while payment it happens instantly, why doesn't it happen so at the time of cancellation.

Also i have received a sms from the airtel network that the service is not currently feasible in my area. I am affixing all the relevant screenshots to this mail (Payment info, connection request info and the sms received from airtel) to this mail.
Also if the connection is not possible in an area it should be mentioned before the payment is made. This unethical practice of target fulfillment doesnot help airtel at all. This similar incident has happened to other people in my office too.

Please help me cancel the connection request and refund me the amount that i have already paid for the new connection, at the earliest.

My airtel connection for landline and wifi (Landline number: [protected]) got disrupted due to the cyclone amphan on 20 may 2020. Both landline and wifi are not working. A complaint was registered with the company on 2 june 2020 because the company refused to register any complaints before that. We explained that the connection has not been working since the cyclone and they said that a technician will call back within 4 hours. The technician called back but he did not do anything, just said that this is not a normal situation and they won't be able to help immediately. Then we find out that all our neighbours had their network restored because they paid the technician additionally and ours was not getting restored because we were not paying what is essentially a bribe to do the work on time. We called the airtel helpline again today and explained it to them again. They admitted that the complaint issued on 2 june 2020 was still pending so we can't issue a new complaint but that they have escalated it. We told them that it has been 20 days since we have not been receiving network and we are still paying for the service and we wanted some concession or waiver in our bill, but they did not offer any proper solution, just said that the technician will call me in 4 hours and see if they can fix the issue. We asked airtel to: 1. Fix our network connection without making us pay bribes to the technician 2. Give us a waiver in our bill for all the days that the service was not working.
