Respected sir i as a customer of barti airtel mobile. I am facing poor indoor coverage in my home. Airtel provided me false information about coverage at the time of giving sim. Airtel authorities told me that you will get excellent indoor and outdoor coverage no worry about that. One of the other big cheating by airtel is that airtel told me you are getting coverage from mulanthuruthy. I accept airtel information provided by airtel. But after start using the connection i am really shocked. I can't make a normal call also. Unable to send sms. Unable to know my account balance also. Duebto non availability of 2g 4g indoor coverage.in an emergency i can't make a call to ambulance also. Very dead cheating sir. I had lost my number and my money sir. I don't know what i can do sir. From whom i get help. Airtel not ready to give 2g 4g coverage to our location. Airtel providing coverage from manakunnam udayamperoor.3km away from my home. One new 4g tower is upgraded in mulanthuruthy pallithazam only 735meters from my home. But airtel not ready to provide coverage from their. I had requested airtel about this. But the company not ready to provide from their. No authorities can't question airtel. I request you sir please take necessary action against this cheating. Thank ing you

    Dear sir,

    This is to bring to your notice that i, naval consul have been an airtel customer for the past 13 years now. I am currently holding the prepaid number [protected]. I am a sailor who works abroad most of the days so frequently make use of your international roaming packs. My ships have been recently sailing united states gulf coast region and south america for the past two years now. And i had been frequently making use of your inr 2499 pack which offers 5gb data for 30 days for these past 2 years. My last recharge of inr 2499 was dated 12th january which just got over during current usage in united states on date 6th february 2020. Therefore i made another recharge of 2499 with transid[protected]. Although to my dismay and trying all troubleshooting to resume my data usage, no internet services were available to me. I contacted airtel customer care and they told me this ir pack is not valid for us. Sir, if same was the case then how come i was using it until today? The description in the 2499 pack did not mention united states even earlier but it was working fine for me and all my fellow sailors. Please do me the honours to track my data usage, network providers and past recharges in the past two years. I have been using this pack in us just fine until today via the network carrier at&t 3g. So if there has been some revision to the rates or data availability then the same recharge should not have been available on the my airtel app. I therefore either demand a refund or restarting of my data services as this is an outrage. Earlier airtel was an economical option for me as it provided me access to internet services in all of my voyages such as us, mexico, panama, south america, honduras, guatemala, etc. Now if as per customer service the prices have to be 3997 for united states and adjoining countries then i would prefer to buy a local sim or rather switch to vodafone, for their international packs seem cheaper than yours now.

    Please understand that this is our hard earned money and we have to stay a long time away from our families during our service. Hope you of all people as esteemed network service providers can have some consideration or empathy to how important staying connected to their loved ones is. And with my profession staying several thousand miles away from my folks for several months i atleast deserve uninterrupted connectivity to stay hopeful, cheerful and maintain my sanity. Therefore please do the needful to resolve this issue at the earliest so that i do not have to stay disconnected like this from my family due to internet unavailability.
    Thanking you in anticipation and hoping for a speedy response to my refund else network resolving.

    Naval consul

      I had recharged for 598 rupees on 7 Feb 2020 in the Airtel plan using net banking. I got the message for the same as well.

      The money got debited but Recharge not done. Customer care says that there is no reference for the same. Totally unacceptable.

      This is very bad. Please refund my amount back to me.

                Ref data card no. [protected]

                Dear sir
                Airtel 4g data card from long time.
                After purchage, 1st six month service was good.
                Thereafter speed problem started. I sent complain also but not resolved. One gentleman called and said that "signal strength is good". Where signal strength was good i don't know. However i was using dongle and paying huge amount as per market rate with poor service quality.
                From october 2019 service completely stopped. (Till this time payment was regular.) i have sent mail to disconnect the service. It was not happened. Data base can be checked. From this month on-wards i stopped payment. How to pay without 0 service? Is it justified?
                Daily someone call in working hour and irritate.
                Several times i have replied to resolve the dispute and disconnect. One gentleman sail that pay for one month only, immediately next day some one said to pay rs. 1000+. Again some gentleman said that he will come back soon with better plan, so far he did not come.
                Kindly initiate to resolve this issue with proper justification. Technically airtel supposed to pay me as a penalty for charging more money for worst quality service from months.

                Thanking you

                Regards

                    With greater regression i want to say to airtel team that, a high end motorola handset like MOTO Z PLAY till not get the volte features update..
                    It's unbelievable to say that very low budget ordinary handset getting VOLTE update but a premium handset like MOTO Z PLAY is not getting the VOLTE service till 6th Feb, 2020..

                    When can i get update regarding VOLTE update on my device or i will get back to Reliance Jio or Vodafone soon ...
                    If i will not get any feedback on this issue from Airtel, Motorola, or Lenovo, , then i will switch back to Jio or to Vodafone. Atleast they are providing very good volte service to each & every handset..

                    If it's not resolved within a week then for sure, , i will think that my MNP from Jio to Airtel is completely valueless & i will go back to Jio again..

                          I have recently switched my network form idea to airtel due to slow network issue since i have changes my network to airtel problem is more worse i couldn't even get ant signal indoors and very slow network outdoors. I cant understand what kind of network is this and the customer care executives ask me to be patient issue will be resolved they cant understand the severity of my issue its like i am being without a mobile form past 4 days. Im unable to port to any other network now as its been only a week i have switched.
                          I want this issue to be resolved in a couple of days or else only option left with me is to throw this sim and take a new jio network. Hope someone will respond fast and resolve this.

                            Period of incident - since 7-dec'19
                            Unauthorized activation of international roaming to airtel user [protected] levying excess amount of inr 4480.46/- on family plan bill no. Bm2027i[protected] dated. 9-jan-20. Upon inquiry, airtel claimed to have raised bill against 50 outgoing sms, 8.54 mins. Call and data usage. On bill they airtel have charged for 2 no. Sms, 11 mins. Outgoing call & 22.7 mb data usage. After careful study of bill, there are only 3 outgoing call out of which 1 no. Call is from [protected] (Airtel spam) with a call duration of 28 sec & an unknown spam no. [protected] with a call duration of 8:25 mins.
                            3 day international pack of inr 999/- per day was charged in addition to above.
                            Upon further inquiry airtel accepted their mistake & decided to waive of rs. 1090.32/- & have barred incoming calls on 3 airtel nos. Associated with the family plan.

                            Airtel have resorted to a mode of extortion and a lot of harassment by first blocking out going calls & forcing to pay excess amount. Due to medical emergency we had no other option but to clear the bill, but still the outgoing calls are not active.

                            Resolution required : full refund of excess charges of inr 2890.01 or adjustment in the next bill

                            A copy of email communication from airtel have been shared as jpg file

                              . I cannot open certain websites on google chrome like (Facebook, etc.) as it redirects me on this link http://one.airtel.in/rcconf again and again. 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?
                              I tried calling to them but they are saying our network team will reach out
                              But still no deadline mention. They even asked to get the sim changed whereas this sim is new 1 or 2month old. It feel like i am wasting my money

                                  Mine is Airtel post paid sim and Not getting 4G network from my residence. Most of the time network gets downgrated to 2G/3G. I am not able to access internet. Frequently I have to put on air flight mode and back to reset my network. I have been complaining to Customer Care for over last 6 months. Everytime I complaint, they inform there is new tower coming up in your location next month and this goes on.

                                    Hi,

                                    My number is 49287130, and i am using your airtel connection since so long. You people are so shameless that even after so mANY COMPLAINTs you have only one word and that is damn SORRY. What i have to do with your sorry. I am paying 1100 bucks. You people are cheaters, lurchers who know how to grab money of the people without giving them the service.

                                    Every time i make a complaint you send you idiotic technician or field executive who sit check something for three minutes, and then your internet start, but again same ### happens the very next day. Do you people really ashame of your acts.

                                    Why the hell i pay 1100 bucks, for this ###, for this nasty service. Give my entire money back of last month, because hardly your internet service work. Same ### happened on 5th, Feb, 2020, for three damn hours in total there was no internet, and for fifty minutes landline too did not work.

                                    Now you listen to me carefully, 1100 that i pay, i need 50% of waver
                                    in my next bill, or else after this i would put this ### on NHRC and other social media.

                                    Solve this problem once for all, or there are better service providers. I will tell in my cicrle to switch to something else, so you better behave.

                                    Landline number - [protected]
                                    Email :[protected]@yahoo.co.in
                                    Mobile: [protected]/ [protected]

                                    Bill : 1100 (plan)

                                    Return my money of last month, or give me 50% of waver you lurchers

                                      Respected sir,

                                      Iam using sim service of airtel service provider since more than 5 years, but now on 23 jan 20 i had requested for port out from airtel to jio but my request has been rejected without any notice even after fulfilling all the conditions as per trai, after that again i requested the same on 31 jan 20 and while querying about the status of my request to the airtel customer care executive they replied that no request has been found in there system.
                                      These is second time i am opting for port out, even after fulfilling all the criteria of trai and obtaining upc both the times similarly following all the very steps why the airtel network provider denying of the request...???
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                      I can no longer visit any site on the internet without getting redirected to one. Airtel.in. It has become something of a torture, for it has been close to 6-7 hours and it still keeps happening. Happens on both my phone and desktop browsers
                                      I did a international roaming recharge for 6999 but airtel did not provide the call service for 10 days, so I need the amount prorated and refunded back. But customer service person says there is no such policy of fair treatment of customers. Even if airtel does not provide service the customer has to pay the amount.
                                      Upload and download speed sre so reduced after new rates revision that even when my 1.5 gb data pack is left I'm getting an average download speed of 100kb max. If you are charging higher rates then improve your performance also. Airtel not done. Going to pprt to jio if problem is not solved immediately.
