I am Airtel customer for the past 10 years. Once upon a time Airtel charges more and offers best service in cities. As on today Airtel charges more and more and cheat the customers more more more. I got worst service for thepast 2 years. In post paid connection Airtel charges 499+ INR and promises 75 GB data. Purposely Airtel decreases the speed and no one will get 4G speed. I was getting less then 10 GB per month. If we try to use the Airtel data continously the speed goes to worst rate after some time. Some two years back all my friends moved to Jio. All are getting excellent data and voice quality. I stayed with Airtel and Airtel cheated me like anything. Jio postpaid offers 25 GB for 199 INR. Their network speed is good and most of the customers try use the data as much as possible. Jio gets more money when the customer uses more then 25 GB. So Jio offers best quality so that they can get more money. Airtel charges more, promises more but offers less data. They get more profit by cheating customers by offerring less data. They never give 75 GB. I am moving to Jio now onwards. Airtel customer care called once I gave PORT request. She could not hear anything from my mobile. Airtel to Airtel connection too got worst quality. I took correct decision after losing money and after getting cheated by Airtel for many years. If you are a smart guy/girl then change to Jio immediately. Once you complain about the poor quality you will get good service for 1 day. Next day onwards you get the worst quality again. It clearly shows that Airtel is purposely playing with voice and data speed.

    Hi! So i received a message from airtel that they are providing me free 2GB data on a 4G sim+ 4G handset by calling on their promotional number. As soon as i called, i received 2GB free data and here where the problem begins.

      Hi Team,

      I Nagaraju T Facing some issues with Airtel Team. Before taking connection's they have committed to me proving one fancy numbers. and their customer care team (121) also committed to provide the same.
      After visiting store team (Vishwas) they told me that number was allocated to another customer. After raising my voice they told me take 499 plan with 6 months advance rental or 999 plan.
      if not done they are asking amount of 15000/-

        Sir,

        I am very sorry to say that airtel service is very worst at ppl township, paradeep, odisha, pin-754145.

        No network from last 2 months & even after several complain it was not resolved & no action has been taken. Approx 500 users are there in area & all are facing same problem. I migrated from jio to airtel but now i apologize of my decision. I have taken a family plan of 999/- plan & my whole family numbers are not working. I will again port to jio. Please look into & do needful.

        Regards

            I recharged on my 3g number for rs 399 (Benefits for 2 months). Immediately after which i got a call saying that now my 3g sim card is old and need upgradation to 4g. Since then i am unable to use any outgoing or internet services on my mobile. Customer care also asked for upgrading the sim, but the problem is that the sim is registered in the name of my father who is posted in srinagar so without his presence here the upgradation can't be done.
            I need refund, please tell how to go about it. Because nobody told in advance that the sim will become inactive immediately after recharge. This logic of 3g becoming unserviceable is also flawed given that the incoming is still continuing. Airtel is just taking advantage of our situation.

                Payment detail (Amt rs 4052.63 date[protected] – account no – [protected])

                Above bill was for advance rental from 6-9-19 to 5-3-2020

                After this payment i also made another payment of rs. 351.[protected]

                Despite making advance payments i am being harrassed and called regularly to make payment...

                  Hi, this is rajan goyal here
                  I purchased fastag on airtel thanks app on 15th december and received verification confirmation on 19th december.
                  But it has not been shipped and there is no way to contact the bank
                  The helpline number also doesn't have any option where to check the status of the fastag

                  Dont know whether it would be delivered or not.
                  Can someone from the airtel team look into it.

                          Respected sir i as a customer of airtel mobile. I am unable to use data and call service in indoor. I had registered so many compliments regarding this. No 2g4g coverage in indoor. Airtel authorities told me that in this location airtel not resolve coverage problem. If you want to use your number please select another network. I am really shocked sir. What type of service airtel providing i don't know sir. I am really cheated sir. Airtel installed one 4g tower also in pallithazam. Only 500mtrs away from my home. I had mentioned this to airtel. But the company not ready to solve the issue. I had lost my money and my number sir.
                          I kindly request you sir please take necessary action sir.
                          Yours sincerely
                          Ealias

                            Hi,
                            I am using my Airtel sim and this is my primary number which shared with everyone. But everyone is saying like whenever they are trying to reach me on this number they are getting an automated response like " The number you have dialed is invalid". I checked with customer care as well and they told just reinsert the sim and I tried that as well but same issue is coming. Kindly do the needful.

                              I have been using airtel for almost 180 months and last month one person from airtel call me and promise to add to more number for 499 plan after which i have accepted him to change my plan. After changing the plan when i try to add a new number it is asking us to pay 199 more to add one number. It tried to port my number to a different number but i was not provided by the port id number after paying my bill they still asking to stay with their network but not help me to return back to my old plan nor helping me i get 10+ call asking for the reason and no one is ready to hear by problem they just want us to hear them and stay. I am totally unhappy with the service and false promise given by the to a customer who has been with them for more than 10+ years
