airtel xstream box

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560078

I have purchased airtel xstream box 5 days back. And it it my biggest mistake. I am not able to stream airtel xstream content. I have raised this issue to multiple times to customer care. And three times to airtel nodal office. They are still not sure that they will be able to resolve it or not. Always they are asking me to wait for 24 hours and not giving any reply on that issue.
I am asking to refund my amount they are also not doing...

      I bought an airtel 4g hotspot device and post paid sim in september 2019. I paid rs. 2000 for this. They promised high speed internet with this. I asked specifically about congestion and network issues in the area where i lived. But still they promised high speed internet. My plan was 399_50gb per month datacard plan with monthly rental of rs. 399 + 18% gst. But this connection has never worked. I tried to connect for few days and only airtel page was opening. It was not even loading google home page. I was really frustrated about this cheating and losing 2000 rs. Later when i asked people i realised that many people have lost money like this.
      I did not pay the bill as it has never worked for me. When i got a call from customer care i had told them to disconnect the sim. But i am still getting monthly bills for this sim that has never ever worked. I haven't even tried to connect it after the first few days in september.

          I ported from idea to airtel thinking that there would be better network inside the house on that network at least for calling on my 2g phone but it seems there's no network at all at my place and even after complaining there is no resolution provided by customer care, they don't even have an email complaint service and accept complaints via call at 50 paise per 3 minutes, which is a blatant fraud on their behalf and even after complaining they only give reassurance that the network here is great.

              Address: MUMBAI, Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400093

              On 24th january, airtel offered to merge my 3 phones into one family plan.

              The phone numbers were:

              [protected] (Main number)
              And
              [protected]
              And
              [protected] (Donge/hotspot).

              On their advice, we have paid the current due on [protected] and [protected], on 24th jan 2020 and they were to merge all the 3 phones in 1 plan.

              They have only merged [protected] and they have not merged [protected]. Inspite of payment.

              Now they are asking for another payment to clear the current bill while in the meanwhile they have charged the family plan fees on [protected] and they are continuing to charge the monthly fees on [protected], which are not valid.

              Please ask them to merge [protected] with the [protected] family plan with effect from 24th january 2020.

              Thanks

                  Suddenly on 27th feb, 2018, the airtel sim on my phone stopped working. Initially thought it might be a phone problem. Restarted phone several times, changed sim slot, tried it in another phone, tried stopping other services like wifi. All of no use.
                  My number that stopped working is [protected]
                  All this without any intimation from airtel. I was about to receive important calls and messages on this number. Lost peace of mind due to this carelesness.

                  I would like signals on my phone be restored as soon as possible, and additionally they need to compensate for loss of peace of mind, and loss of opportunity due to missed communication during the period.

                      I recently noted that whereas airtel was charging rs.23 monthly for 28 days validity with no other benefits the same has been increased to rs.45 monthly with no talk time, sms or data. I feel this is unjust for numbers not in much use.
                      Also many a times the calls fail are if connected the talks are not very clear and one has to disconnect and call again. Sometimes lord of follow up is required for activation of calls or data

                      As laid by the government of india that all failed calls would bear a penalty of Re.1 I do not till date find that any network provider is ever crediting this penalty amount to our billing accounts anytime

                            Hi airtel team,

                            I moved to my new apartment. I have been facing network issue in my apartment. Airtel network here is terrible and irritating.
                            Ppl trying to call me said to that my phone will be out of reach many a times. I have missed many important calls due to this and it is irritating and put me in risky situations all the time. I have to depend upon whatsapp calls all the time.
                            If i try to call it is hard to connect and if ot connects luckily then we gace lot of voice breaking.
                            Pls reach out to me for more details at
                            [protected]@gmail.com.
                            Regards,
                            Sunil

                              Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600119

                              I’ve given port in request to airtel on 24th feb 2020 from vodafone chennai. On vodafone has accepted the same and airtel has sent sms stating dear customer your porting request for mobile no. [protected] to airtel has been validated by vodafone. The number will be ported-in to airtel by 27 feb 2020 00:40:00 the second sms states once your mobile displays no network, please insert the airtel sim in your handset and call 59059 to verify your details (Received both the sms at 00:40:00 on 27 feb 2020).

                              By 12:30am my mobile displays no network and i’ve inserted airtel sim but sim not able to catch the signal.

                              If i dial my number from other number i get ivr msg that the number does not exist, please check the number.

                              Till now i’m getting the same error message.

                              I tried calling airtel customer care (3 times) but no use no one responded properly and cut the call.

                              Now i’m thinking why i’ve ported to airtel where there is no value for end users.

                              Why you have disconnected the vodafone network when you are not able give your network?

                              I want full explanation on this.

                              What is the time frame for port in process when you fixed the time at 12:40am port in process will start?

                              Is this right process to approach the port in process?

                              Can i get time limit that my number will be activated/grant the permission for network?

                              Due to ignorance of airtel i’ve missed important calls from my client and my manager. I did n’t expected this from airtel.

                              I request airtel to activate with all the services on my number asap

                              Please reach me on alternative number [protected].

                                  I am using 4g hotspot. It is not getting connected with green signal. It shows up wireless network connection and says that the connection is excellent. But the fact is it gives yellow signal and it is getting disconnected.
                                  From what i understand green indicates 4g, yellow is 3g. It is also erratic, off and on every few seconds. Is the problem with the instrument or is it the tower nearby
