Address: F-220, Riico industrial area, Near dev petrol pump, 307026

Today, at 2.30 p. M, three gb of 48 rupees was made on net mobile no. [protected]. Did not use the net and in a short time three gb net flew. And the net balance is telling 0. Where did it go? And on the unlimited local, atd, and roaming same network of rs 598 and an 84-day package with 1.5 gb daily data 100 messages, the net is flown through the morning without use. Where does he go? Does this airtel company also steal the net? Everyday we fill extra net balance, then taking advantage of the opportunity is stolen. What does the company do? Today, you get the three gb net balance replenished immediately, and the daily running of one and a half gb is also back. Otherwise further proceedings are going on. Our house has 5 airtel sims. If our balance is not returned today, we will stop all our airtel sims. You act immediately on this and reply. Otherwise proceeding continues. -

    I am using Airtel since 2009. Since 2013 I am regularly complaining Airtel to rectify the signal issue in my area hear Ayappa Nagar, K R Puram. Several time customer care executives had taken my complain and given me reference number, but post that no action on these issue. Today I called airtel customer care and complain the same, but funny part still they are telling me the same scripted answer, they are working and they will rectify soon. Its been 7 years they are trying to rectify. I dont know what to say... I never seen the network worse then Airtel .

        I am using airtel service and i am unable to use xstream app now!! I have re-charged my no on 11 feb 2020, but still getting messages to recharge, even after 3 days!! I have called up customer care and spoke to zisha who claims to be floor supervisor! She refused to take complaint and claimed that she has resolved the issue!! I am attaching the screenshot of the error i am getting!! How can issue be fixed, if i m still getting the error? She was so arrogant that she refused to take the complaint, even after multiple times mentioning that issue persists!!. Such crap executives are hired to harass customers!
        How can customer support refuse to take a complaint for a service when the issue still exists? As per trai rules, customer has right to register complaint n seek complaint no, not sure how airtel can follow its own rules? Airtel claims they are best service not sure if they have tested their network and services?

          Website: Www.airtel.in

          I have been facing call drop and poor data speed (E instead of 4g). Thus complained in airtel customer care on[protected]. They told to resolve it before[protected], but now they are telling to wait for 2 months.
          I am using airtel postpaid and complaint number is attached herewith. This problem is for the location in mega city ahmedabad.

          So the only thing left out is mnp now, but i have heard many issues while moving from airtel postpaid to jio. Just want airtel to not harass me in my mnp process to jio.

          Airtel wants me to pay without expecting for any service from them and their customer care executive told me that airtel postpaid customers are not allowed to port into jio.

            Hi team,

            I am unable to call on tollfree numbers like
            1100 /[protected], from last 3 months,
            I did recharge of rs.600 unlimited pack still it is not working,
            I tried with other airtel numbers also still facing the same issue.
            I tried from other locations like andhra and karnataka still unable to call the same tollfree numbers.
            I am able to call the same contacts from jio network,

            Airtel request id: cogcl[protected]

            Airtel is just asking me to wait by giving irrelevant reasons,

            I need quick fix on this, this is not only the issue facing by me, even entire airtel users are facing the same issue.

            Regards,
            Shaik babji

                Hello, this is to inform you that i posted a query regarding airtel fiber net on airtel website and got response from sales executive [mobile number - [protected]] who came to my house in jaipur (302019) on 11th feb 2020 regarding connection and informed me fiber is available in my area and then he completed all the documents formalities and gave me link to pay for my plan and rental fee and after 2-3 hours 2 engineers came to my house for wiring and setup then those engineers told me that "airtel fiber line is not available in your area and that the sales executive should have said so to you" after that i told engineers that sales person said connection is available and i have also paid the money for that and after that i called the sales person and he said he'll explain tomorrow that is on 13feb about what to do and today he's not receiving my calls i have called him more than 15 times but no response but he messaged me that he'll refund my money but then i asked about refund i'd he just ignored me, that means he's lying about refund as i have not received any message regarding refund and i called airtel customer care and they too did not receive any refund request, that sales executive doing fraud so bluntly without care in a world,
                My request now is to refund my money back and i'll never opt for any airtel service ever again

                    I have recharged my mobile number [protected] through net banking for rs. 399 on 12th feb 2020 and received an sms with transaction reference no. Srstx359019 of rs. 399. Bank transaction was also completed successfully but my mobile is not recharged. Till now i got no message regarding the recharge, although the amount has been debited from my bank account.

                    Even im unable to connect with your customer care executive asking for sufficient balance, how is it possible to connect with customer care if itself there is no recharge in my mobile or with zero balance.
                    Suggest some way to sort out problem.

                    Regards

                          where airtel launching 5G, insist to use 3G mode manually. shame on you( Add on TV highest video speed), after complaining since 2 yrs, lot of reference complaint no.generated only.
                          is any body is there who can listen my issue.
                          because i know and i can bet that you cant do anything except generating another complaint no.
                          and plz suggest what should i do to get a level of service?

                          From the past 6 months (approx), the Airtel call is disturbing.. I cannot listen their voice clearly. Today only one important call came.. and i was unable to listen her voice.. it was cracking and disturbing. Please look after this matter as soon as possible. Urgent. Regards Leena. Phone no. [protected].
                          From 24th jan my sim is not working. It is showing network but cant access to various facility as calls data and msg.
                          My rs. 298 plan is active. Customer care is also giving excuses and not solving problem.
                          They are saying its goverment order.
                          I dont knw how goverment can involve in this.kindly see to dis problem

                                Well, i’m an airtel user, since very long it has been good but from few weeks airtel is looting and manipulating customers, well earlier it 84days for rs 558 (3gb per day) now its 56 days for the same, but the speed is pretty much low and i’m unable to use my tariff as per it. The speed of the internet is too much slow which bothers me at my work. If airtel sees this, please get back to me asap or else i’ll port my number to some other network.
                                Thank you

                                Airtel 4g network and 4g internet is like 2g. It mean 4g internet is equal to 2g internet that much slow in this network. In the advertisement is shows that the best network is Airtel but in the reality is inverse. Charge in the internet plan is heavy but network and internet is not equal to 1% of speed of internet.

                                  The issue here is that I am not able to generate send SMS to 1900. Each time I am getting ' Error 69 Message not sent'
                                  First time: When I called the CC @ 121 they told me that you have to clear the outstanding amount, I did the I send the SMS, nothing worked.

                                  customer care said that company will plan the new tower in that area, and for that no timeline. may be 6 month or 6 years. This is not a solution. Please provide some immediate solution or advise to port to other service provider.
