    This is regarding the recharge done today for airtel tv worth 531 on 24thmarch for my customer id [protected].
    I am unsatisfied with the services provided by airtel and also the irresponsible behaviour as the amount after the recharge is not showing and also the expiration of the plan is showing 26th march which is 2 days after the recharge date. After that i did the recharge of 80 rupees but still the amount is not showing.
    Kindly look into the matter as soon as possible and resolve the issue. I am also attaching the photos of the transaction made.

          Hi,

          I have been trying to reach out to airtel for my broadband issue for almost a week now. I have a 40 mbps plan with airtel but my broadband network speed is barely 8-10mbps which is much lower than what i pay for. I have been complaining to airtel about this for over a week but they haven't done anything to fix it. On repeated complaints they create a service request (Sr no[protected] but close it without resolving or fixing it.. I have been trying to reach them ever since but they don't seem to care. This isn't the first time i've had issues with airtel. Every time i have to reach to consumer forum to get my issue heard. Due to this coronavirus situation, i have been asked to work from home but i'm unable do so properly due to such pathetic broadband connectivity. This is affecting my work badly. Please do the needful and get them to resolve this asap.

I went to retailer and got an upgraded 4g sim of same number. But till now, the new sim is not activated and old sim continue to work. I have called airtel customer care number of times. Please help. New sim 20digit no is sim.

            Customer care gave a reference number:csewk[protected]

            upgrade 2g to 4g issue - Comment #3667063 - Image #0
            Today morning, my data pack got over so i recharged Rs 48 pack that's supposed to provide me 3 GB data. I used this data very minimally and now in the evening i am getting a message that only 30% data is left. my background data is off, even i am not being able to check the remaining airtel data.

              I gave all information to airtel company but still my problem is not fixed. Company is not trying to satisfy the costomer requirements. They only want take people as their consumers but what they felt and what the problems are facing by them.
              I started almost 36 hours ago but no result.

              I tele verified than recharged acording to port plan but nir sim activated not internet connection provided by company

                So many times we complain to the customer care and also requesting for airtel network booster but no one took any action upon it. I am having exams and my most of the work is done online and for that, i need a proper internet connection. The worst network ever.
                I am very disappointed with airtel network.
                I hope this will get fixed soon
                Thank you

                      I tried to recharge my account and after entering my card details they said something went wrong and the next min i see is that they credited the money into my airtel payments bank which i didn’t activate.

                      So when i tried to make payment from it, it says i have to update kyc and for that purpose i have to submit aadhar or driving license but which i really don’t want to give to these guys whom i don’t trust them at all with these kind of documents so i send email requesting to cancel my wallet and refund money back to my original account but the wecare experts are being tricky and they say they want these same documents like aadhar and driving license to close the account and i don’t know why they want those.

                      Please close my account and refund back my money.

                        I have done documentation and paid money for a broadband connection at my home on 16 march.

                        A person came and done documentation and i paid three months advance rental 2828 as well. They promised that installtion will be done in 24 hours. Its been 6 days since then, and no body came for installation and i continuosly called that guy who came for documentation. Qnd also cantacted airtel customer care several times and got no information.

                        I dont know why they are behaving like this. At the very least refund my money

                          Yesterday i received e bill for period from 8 feb - 7th march '20. The total bill amount is rs 2205.79 which includes one component as one time charges of rs 1026.97 (Need clarification for this charge), but my monthly rental is only rs 1178.82. I would only be liable to pay my monthly rental as there is not any due amount from previous months so why this unnecessary cost??

                              Hello,

                              My name is divya shetty. I mistakenly did a recharge on the wrong cell number. I did online recharge 2 hours back through the airtel website via icici internet banking. I called airtel customer service mumbai but they were of no help.

                              Could you please look into this urgently.

                              Correct cell number - [protected]
                              Wrong cell number - [protected]
                              Transaction id - [protected]
                              Amount - 698

                              You can reach me at [protected]@gmail.com

                              Thank you.
                              Divya

                                This is really frustrating service from airtel, i have ported my sim from bsnl to airtel 7 days ago, my bsnl sim was deactivated on 3rd day after the request and till today 8th day i have no network in airtel, i have contacted customer service but they asked to check with the local operator by whom request was submitted, local operator is referring to airtel office, now office is stating that the status can be checked by the operator only by whom the request was submitted. Frustrated # service from airtel, please never port sim to airtel

                                  This is regarding a failed transaction of 4126 where money got deducted from my account but same was not added to airtel wallet.

                                  This was my first significant transaction with airtel payment bank and i am seriously unhappy with the response received from your end.

                                  Bank has confirmed that transaction is successful from their end and issue is on merchant (Airtel side). Please resolve this issue as soon as possible.

                                  My bank statement clearly says airtel received money as its showing entry of debit of 4126 with description "bil/onl/[protected]/airtel
                                  Pay/wwwairtelinban".

                                  I will raise a dispute/complaint on this if it is not resolved soon.

                                  Also this will be echoed on all my social media platforms so that everyone can see how great airtel payment bank service is.

                                    We have recently took an airtel dth network but as the promised they will do service for entry for 6 months but now we had faced problem against service warranty now the dealer is demanding money for his service. We definitely need a free services for a period of 6 months as promised before and they also must bother about services, they have promised before

                                      No internet connection, spoken to multiple customer care people and still no resolution for a week, people involved murli, shivangi, ranjith, prakash. All these people and some i don't remember names are promising to get the problem solved but not yet solved, work from home for me is not working out, i might lose my job because of the internet connection issue.
