    I have been facing issues with airtel network signal (1 and 2 bar signal always indoors) and data connectivity (1 kbps whereas i have subscribed to 4g 75gb plan) at my residence in g. S. Road, guwahati, assam and have raised complaints regarding the same since july 2019. I was on roaming visiting my residence and was there for couple of weeks and the airtel service engineer also took exactly 14 days to make a visit to my address by which time i was already leaving from guwahati. So there was no resolution provided henceforth. I am visiting my hometown again now and had raised the same issue again with airtel on 11th feb 2020. First of all i was told that network team would visit and provide solution by 4 working days. I received a call but noone visited till a week it is 18th feb now. And on top of the network issue i was facing, since 14th to 16th feb i did not even have any signal my sim did not work at all. On contacting customer care from alternate number was told that because of system upgrade in that area sim has stopped working. And just before that the customer care executive was trying to tell me that because of your sim only you are facing the network issue. Basically they are just trying to blame it on you instead of providing assistance to the subscriber they have no intention of taking ownership and providing resolution which is what they are there for. When on 17th feb also my sim did not work, i had to personally visit airtel store to get my sim swapped for no fault of mine i was put through this harrassment of having no mobile connectivity for 3 days. And even after swapping the sim, the network issue still persists. So when i called up airtel again, they first tried to compel me into accepting that new sim card is causing issue. Just observe how they are manipulating customer everytime. When i asked to speak to supervisor, he went a step further into harassing me, he said we have noted your complaint and it will get resolved in 1-2 months time as new tower needs to be setup. And when i visited airtel store earlier for sim swap the lady at the store told me that the g. S road network team did not even receive my service request yet so i am surprised how the customer care executive on call was telling me the tower setup details etc because clearly there has been no communication between the airtel customer care and the concerned network team which is such a worrying state of affairs in today's day and age. How these companies are manipulating customers and harassing them. I have been an airtel customer for last 10 years and this is such a horrific experience. They are cheating customers this way. I am saddened at the fact that a technical professional like me has been put through this ordeal imagine the plight of the novice or not so technically knowledged consumers. This lacklustre and irresponsible attitude needs to be addressed before it gets to its worst because of such incompetent people.

          I used to have an airtel connection [protected]. I paid the bills every month and suddenly in 2019 july, i got call from airtel stating i didn't pay the bill from february to june. I sent emails to [protected]@airtel.in with the paid receipt. Then the response i got was the amount which i paid got reversed so i need to pay it again. I checked my bank account, paytm account, airtel wallet from where i paid the bills but no where the amount got reversed and i informed the same to the customer care. Instead of resolving their flaws, they kept on harrassing me to pay the amount. But when the amount is already paid why should i pay it again unless they reverse my paid amount. They refused to resolve this issue instead they keep calling me and ask me to pay it off due to which i disconnected my airtel connection because this is not the first time it happened. And they were sleeping from feb to june and in july suddenly they woke up and saw i didn't pay the amount. Is this kind of a joke? I didn't expect this kind of behaviour from airtel. It's been more than six months i have disconnected my airtel connection but still they call and keep harrassing.

            Airtel pack ends today, if not recharged, rs. 45 will deduct on 18th feb 2020 from balance for 28 days validity. For unlimited / smart packs.. Dial.. *

            My complaint here is why airtel is forcefully deducting rs. 45 from my balance and do the recharge, if a customer wants to recharge he/she will do it their own. Why the hell airtel is doing it forcefully.

            This is unacceptable. Please take an action against airtel. You can seen same message come in last month as well. Check the screen shot attached

                    I am sneha using airtel no. [protected]. My sim is showing no service from two days. I am using ios mobile. I have done everything to resolve the problem but it is still there. I don't know what happened with airtel. Please let me know the problem or if you are resolving it if not then i think i will change the network. Because of no service i cannot call customer care but with different number i tried to call but the customer care number were not connecting. What the hell is going on with airtel.

                      I pay bill of 1400 each month for my airtel broadband. But there will be 2-4 hours of downtime everyday also there’s no internet connection from 3 days now. No custom care person from airtel is supporting. Can’t even raise a service request through their app. No option for complaint. This is the worst internet company i ever used. This is my broadband number : [protected]. I have paid 3700 rs in advance for internet for 3 months. After taking money airtel is providing no internet.

                          On Feb 12, 2020 I received a notification to pay my Airtel postpaid bill. The bill statement is for the period Dec 26, 2019 - Jan 25, 2020. The bill is due on Feb 14, 2020. However, I have been charged a late payment fee of ₹ 100. How can a late payment fee be charged if I am not late in paying the fee. What is the resolution? What should I do?
                          Airtel store charged 100 INR without giving any invoice. This is not acceptable.

                            I recharged mob no [protected] with package of rs.399/- on 30.12.19 from sb ac [protected] inb. But is is not activated. Hence, i lodged a complaint with sbi customer care, they informed me that the case has been solved and requested to contact sbi ambattur branch. Today 15.02.2020 sbi ambattur requested to contact airtel for recharge as the transaction has been successful, hence i request you to recharge mob no [protected] with package of rs.399/-

                                  I fixed an appointment online and personally went on 22 jan 2020 to the local airtel shop as instructed and handed over a request to terminate my father's landline/broadband account. This is because he has passed away and i do not live in chennai and so have no reason to continue with the connection. After accepting my request and charging me for the pending bill, i was assured that it would be done within 4 days to a week.
                                  I have heard nothing since. Imagine my surprise to get another bill in the mail.
                                  Please note: i refuse to pay this bill!! Kindly terminate the connection immediately and send me a confirmation!! Your blatant incompetence shocks me and if it's intentional, it amounts to criminal behaviour!! Shame on you airtel!! No wonder jio will swallow you up!!! Your behaviour borders on arrogance and incompetence!!

                                    Since months i am getting continuous calls from a number that is [protected]. Whenever i receive the call, the caller does not speak but surrounding noise is clear. It means someone intentionally is trying to disturb me. It is just annoying to get so many calls. When i call the number to know who actually is doing this, that time i am blocked. Overall, it says that whenever caller wishes he or she unblocks me and then calls.

Tried clearing browsing history and apn numbers. Also i cannot open any game downloaded from play store. What kind of joke is this airtel playing? Why even bother to give free data when you can't use it freely as you are redirected to their irritating webpage. Please provide me a solution as soon as possible
