      Dear sir,
      I am facing severe problem from airtel.
      They are wantedly torturing us.
      I have ported my number recently to airtel from idea.
      They was a due amount that need to cleared to idea after porting and airtel has sent me a message to clear the due of rs. 274 before 24th february 2020, the same has been cleared from my side on 13th february 2020 but still airtel disconnected my connection on 21st february 2020.
      Part 1 : airtel disconnected my mobile without verification in background with idea about the due amount clearance and even though airtel has given the date to 24th february 2020 they discoonected 4 days before the provided even though i have cleared the bill much before that is 13th febraury 2020.
      I called the customer care and conversation as below,
      Customer care 1 : it will take 2 to 3 business days to resolve the issue.
      Customer care supervisor 1: we will take this as priority will be resolved in 4 hours.
      Customer care supervisor 2 : it will take take 6 to 7 business day to resolve the issue.
      Along with this as suggested by the customer care i also sent a mail to 121.[protected]@airtel.com attaching the payment receipt.

        We are complaining to airtel customer care regarding improper network coverage from past 4 months in our location but issue was not being resolved. Customer care response is very bad. When ever we call they are saying server is down. They are just giving complaint reference id but not resolving.
        We have ported from bsnl idea voda jio to airtel when network is strong. But after porting network was being up and down.in terms of speed and call drops.
        We complained in local airtel showrooms, airtel office. But no action was being taken.

              I have recharged my airtel number with 19 rs it was mentioned that unlimited calls no information about the sms
              But while sending sms to port i am unable to send it
              Later the executive said me to recharge with regular balance of 10 (7.70 talk time) to send sms
              No after doing it i couldnt send the sms
              After calling to customer care they said sms facility is not available with the 19 rs recharge
              Even if you have regular balance also you couldnt send sms
              To send sms they as me to recharge one month plan and then i have to send port sms

              Later you can leave the network
              Really there was very poor network at my home i may even loose my job of not attending calls
              I just cant use it since then they ask me to pay
              They havent mentioned any where about no sms facility for 19rs recharge

I'm unable to remember the details that i had provided at that time (Like name). When i tried to retrieve the mpin by calling your customer care, they are asking for these details - which i forgot and its impossible to get those details. Could you please help me to retrieve back the mpin. I'm ready to submit the proofs also if needed.

                    I raised multiple complains to about airtel broadband internet services on their customer care no for frequent disconnection and poor speed.

                    And everytime they use to kill my time making long pauses making long processes with no result and finally they will give u complain no and time slot. Amd same were closed without resolution.

                    Their engineers will never come in the specified time slot, because that time they are busy fixing the issue with their network. And later when things are fine they will come to show us everything is ok.

                    As a customer is penalised for late payments why the service provider is not penalised for downtime, poor speed etc.

                      Airtel 4g service is become slower day by day. I am experiencing no net connection from 6pm to 11am every night, in my Airtel SIM, [protected] inserted in Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 (6gb/64gb).
                      This seemed to be regular practice by this company to fool me. When I lodged complaints here, Airtel increase the speed for a week. After then they reduce the speed.
                      PLSE take fast action against this mischief.

                        Again and again Airtel prepaid 4g service from 6pm to 12 am seems to be like living hell. The 4g speed in my Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 ( 6gb /64gb) with Airtel prepaid SIM bearing no., [protected] is too slow to connect the net from 6 pm to 12am
                        .and it seemed like easy and regular practice for Airtel to temporarily increase speed after I lodged complaint here.
                        Sir PLSE take suitable action against this mal practice of the company.

                          Hello sir.
                          I made an online transaction of rupees 791.1 through Airtel payments bank. The money was deducted from account but not credited towards the beneficiary account. I was able to see that the transaction was made at IBIBO web. So please do refund my amount to me. [protected] is transaction ID and it was done on 15th February, 2020, 6:59pm and [protected] is my Airtel payments bank account number. I hope that my money will be refunded soon.

                            I received a message on my mobile 4 days back, that my sim has been damaged and i can not use it for data as well as calls. So i visited the nearest airtel office (I had the worst customer experience there).

                            As i knew, that my father had bought this sim card, he needs to be present to allow a new sim card. When my father visited, he found out that, now the sim card is issued on someone else's name. Fyi, i have been using this card since 2011, it's been 8 years, my father had bought that sim card, it was from uninor, then it was acquired by airtel.

                            What the hell? Now they can not even give me new sim card, i have my data service going on that sim, which i can not even use anymore. What is the problem with airtel/uninor/whoever the hell takes the responsibility.

                            And first of all, how the hell a SIM card can damage, if the phone has not fallen in water, it has not even fallen in dust and all is good.
                            I have purchased this airtel sim and then tried for tele verification but 59059 is not working and it automatically gets disconnected . Also calls and data have still not activated please help asap

                              I have booked fasttag through airtel payments bank for 2 vehicles on 6th of feb 2020. One vehicle fast tag is delivered the other vehicle though it initially showed shipped but now it’s showing validating order. Customer care have no information apart from asking me to wait. Atleast if they can provide the docket number or tracking number for dtdc i can check with them, but airtel has no information on that too. I suppose it was a blunder choosing airtel for this service especially. If this is the case now after installing the tag if we encounter any issues god save us. Kindly update the application with recent order and also provide the tracking number so it will be easy for a customer to trace the same. Kindly resolve this issue asap.
                              Regards

                              I have purchased fasTAG on 24th December but it is still showing "Validating Order", i.e, the first stage. And also I haven't got the cashback yet after paying the amount 450. Please help ASAP. Booking has been done from [protected].

                                My name is usha, i am using airtel sim [protected] from past 4 yrs, suddenly last week the network is lost and i went to service center they told sim is damaged and they gave new sim, taking my aadhar proof and photo. The issue here is the sim is not activated from long time, because of the validation of documents is not successful, every time i am going to service center asking about the status they are telling validation failed and new sim they are giving. The background is that past 4 yrs back when i took airtel sim, there the service provider has enter my name as usha, and my all id proofs contains usha ongole which is my surname as well. I provided all the proof stating i am the one and this is the correct one. But still they are saying i need to get proof with name usha only, untill that my sim will not activate it seems which is not at all possible.
