    Hello,

    From last sep i have issues with airtel network service where often calls get dropped, no data service and network issue.. I had opened a call with customer service but till now they have not resolved my issue. Recently i opened another service ticket as mentioned below and i told then that i will not pay the bill till they resolve my issue and i had requested then to waive off my bill as i was not able to use their service.. They acknowledge this and said that they would resolve my issue. Today suddenly they have stopped our outgoing calls.

    New service request no.[protected]

    I want my network issue to be resolved, waive off my bill and activate my phone

    Thanks

        None of the free dd channels are activated and i am not able to activate them through airtel website/app. This problem has persisted for a while and now i am posting this complaint for watching dd new launched programs during lockdown.
        Also despite changing my plan, i am being charged according to the previous plan which was of higher charge. Previously after complaining multiple times airtel ready for refund in installment and apply term & con. That when i call every month for refund but after 2-3 month airtel says that it is not possible and discontinue refund.

                  Address: Indore, Madhya Pradesh, 452001

                  My data for broadband connection was exhausted yesterday and and i tried calling consumer to update the smartbyte but there was no respond after waiting for 12-14 min, i tried for around 4-5 times but no one responded. I even mailed it but an automatic mail was sent to me regarding the unavailablility. After that i tried purchasing smartbyte with airtel thanks app but it showed error (I am attaching two screenshots of different time in which i tried purchasing it) both the times it showed errors and though i had to upgrade my plan from 699 to 799 (Which you can check). The plan got updated and i got 150 gb but after sometime when i checked my data it was showing 200gb though you updated my smartbyte automatically.
                  Now why would i need any smartbyte if i am updating my plan.
                  You are making fool of customers.

                  I need it reverted as i cannot contact airtel in any way.

                  I wont be paying anything for the smartbyte because of your faulty system.

                  Kindly update it.

                    I can't recharge my mobile number online for almost two months now. Every time i try to recharge it comes as either recharge unsuccessful or failed. However, i am able to recharge from retail outlet mobile shop. I had approached airtel express shop twice with the issue and lodged a complaint. I even had emailed to to airtel customer care but there wasn't any prompt action. I would like to know where should i approach again with the issue. I running out of patience. I feel like throwing the airtel sim in the gutter. Once again, before i ran out of patience, i request airtel customer care through this forum to kindly resolve the issue as soon as possible

                      Dear airtel,
                      I am vikram jha customer of airtel.
                      I am using airtel no-[protected].
                      Suddenly on 26th march 2020, my airtel sim card started not working and it shows on phone as not registered on network, after trying several times switching it on and off, it still does not work. Initially i thought it is a phone problem, but i installed a vodafone sim and it was working. Airtel guys pls resolve the issue, as i have faced a lot in this situation.
                      Now this stage all airtel center are closed due to corona virus.

                        I find your dth anteena is very sensitive
                        Most of the time it shows b001 error
                        Customer care executive only says sorry for inconvenience. They have not fixed my problem. I really regret taking airtel dth. I am old patron of dth having taken dth membership long back
                        Such sub standard quality is unexpected. Every time azimuth angle of my location gets deflected and results in no signal

                        Kindly resolve this issue seriously instead of expresing regret over inconvenience caused line

                        Sir
                        Airtel DTH signal quality very poor. Your DTH anteena keeps shifting position. After some many visits by your so called "service engg" has yielded zero results. Customer care executives are busy saying "inconvenience caused is apologized". I don't know where the buck stops!. I am bit baffled by your unprofessional approach to customers

                        Azimuth angle of dish antenna keeps shifting every now and then resulting in error B001.
                        I appeal to authority at highest level to fix this issue instead of extending courtesy of" inconvenience for lifetime "
                        to customers who end up paying for channels without services.
                        Yours sincerely

                          Airtel speed is very bad in my town. Airtel claiming it best and charging high amount of money for their plans.
                          Everyone is very frustrated. We feel regret by recharging to airtel.
                          Very poor service.
                          I did a recharge of 379/- for 84 days unlimited calls and 6GB data through paytm. I have to do it to the number [protected] but recharged to [protected] on March 21st around 9:04 pm. So please can I get my amount back or can the recharge amount be transferred.

                              Hi,

                              I have complained on the recharge issue. But they didn't give any reply from their end. I am not sure how to proceed further. Please suggest me.

                                  I had the special pack recharge in my number of INR 449 till 10 april'2020, but they have expired my pack early on 25th march'2020 and deducted all my main balance account for voice calls.The plans says unlimited local and STD calls with roaming calls as well but started charging for voice calls on 25th march'2020. When I heard the message that I don't have sufficient balance to make call suddenly I checked my balance and found the account balance 0.00. This is a fraud done to customers by Airtel. I am using airtel for more than 6 years but now I need to move on to some other network since at least other network shows clearly the provided minutes in all recharges despite saying unlimited like Airtel.

                                  It's been 2 days and no response received from Airtel, no calls no msg on deduction and early pack expiry but sending message for other unlimited packs to recharge. And even you will not be connected when you try to reach customer care for clarification. Through IVR you will get amount deducted information but not why deduction took place

                                    I recharged my airtel 4g hotspot 3 days back and it stopped working next day. I searched for customer care support but there is no customer care number or email id listed on the website for 4g hotspot. I am working from home due to the crucial time but had to take leave for 2 days because of it, maybe this whole week will be wasted. It costs me around 5500 for the whole week not to work. Who'll compensate that? I tried calling them on different numbers but they are not responding, i tried 9 times and waited 8-9 minutes each before the call got cut itself. I am trapped due to their worst scam service. Please help me out, i may lose my job due to them. There is no listing of any customer care number or email on google or their website. Please resolve

                                      I have paid rs.942/- on march 22, 2020 for new broad band connection. After payment, they told me to wait for service engg. And then airtel executive called me that there is not service near my residence and i'll get refund. I still didn't get service or any refund. Now the have blocked my number and no one is picking my calls. Request you to look into this and do the needful.

                                        Hi team,
                                        I have seen a facebook ad regarding airtel broadband connection, then i called the executive santhosh [protected] he said the plan is available in your 3 months plan with tax wi cost around 2828 so i said to proceed further. Then he logged in our details in the system and a message came to fill the details and for payment. I have attached the sheet and payment details also after the payment he said will provide the connection but the guy doesn't attending the phone call as well as blocked the several number. So kindly file a complain and do the needful or process the refund.

                                        Thanks!
                                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
