Good! Airtel values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Airtel step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

technical issue not resolved for 3 days even after escalation

Address: 560060

So called technical issue is not resolved for 3 days. Activated plan is for 10 days - international roaming which cost rs.1199. After that rs.99 got deducted and reason is rental charges for international network. After the plan activation, rs.290 got deducted and balance is zero. With zero balance we cannot use data and calls. Issue is not resolved for 3 days. Called for 6 times and got very irresponsible answer from senior people. Hopefully...

bad network and voice call

Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400033

The network quality in south bombay particularly in byculla east has gone from bad to worst. Almost mandatory call drops and connectivity issues and when we connect voice is bad and call drops. Rather than spending money to advertise fake customer satisfaction invest in providing real service.. I have been an airtel user for over a decade now and with each promises of better speed and connectivity the reality is far from the promises.. ([protected]...

Website: www.airtel.in

I bought an international roaming pack for the usa for inr 3999 for my prepaid number [protected] which is supposed to give me call, sms and data privileges. However i am unable to make any outgoing calls and my data is not working. This puts me in a nightmarish position while roaming internationally as i can't call a cab or call someone in case of an emergency. There is no proper channel to call a number which i could find on your website...
