We are not receiving sms on our mobile phone. The sms sent by banks and other companies like otp etc are either not received or get very late say about an hour. Requested so many times on 121 of airtel but problem is not resolved. Due to this we are not able to make transactions and other work because of late sms. Despite repeated request airtel is not resolving our complain.

    My phone line has been dead from 4-5 days now. Everyday i call the customer care and every time they say that they will send a technician the next day morning. But no one turns up. And i again complaint in vain. And they have refused to register a new complaint.in previous week also my landline phone had got dead for which i raised a complaint. They repaired my phone line after 2 days. And then again the landline and broadband internet went dead as described above. They are registering the complaint on the same old complaint number and have refused to even register a new complaint/new complaint number. I am fed up of them. They are not at all cooperating anyway, but will charge me for full month which is highly unfair.

    Earlier complaint was filed on 24th November Afternoon. All the people in my building had their landlines restored back to normalcy within the next day. But only my Landline was restored on Thursday ie after 4 days. Step Motherly Treatment maybe (even then, and even now)

        Address: 669, 19th main road, Padmanabhanagar, 560070

        My home broadband plan is 100mbps with a monthly rentals of inr 999:00+gst

        But airtel provides is less than 10mbps most of the time, when a complaint is registered they rectify and i get upto 40mbps max. Have complained many times on mail and written to nodal officer/s - who calls up and empathize my case but finally they maintain a status quo.

        They are not providing the speed for what i am paying nor they are changing the charges for the speed that they are providing

            I am greatly dissatisfied with the service of airtel.
            There are certain reasons behind that:
            Unstability of 4g network
            4g icon vanishes again and again.
            It takes forever to recover. It's very time consuming for i am not free as you to wait for recovery.

            Very poor network speed
            At a time network speed was fine but now it is just zero

            These were my problems which are to be solved
            Please help
            Thank you

                Address: Thane, Maharashtra, 401208

                My name is Jay Arvind Parekh and i am a airtel postpaid user, i have two connections of airtel in the Maharashtra circle of airtel, i had complained on 13.02.2019 for the network issue and they told that it would get resolved in 7 working days but till today thats on 05.12.2019 the issue is not resolved, today i called the contact center of airtel and spoke to a advisor named naveen from punjab location he told me that wait for 2 months your problem would be resolved so i asked him that give me refund in that case because the problem is not going to get resolved for the next two months, so he told that he cannot do anything about that so i told him that i want to speak with your manager after 10 min he transferred the call to his floor supervisor name Anu she was so arrogant i told her that why should i pay for the services that im not getting properly and i also explained her that the problem is at all the locations not about specific locations but she wws so dumb she is telling me that we cant do anything about this issue and was very rude on the call and infact raised a voice aswell due to that i told her that i want to speak with her manager so she transferred to her manager name Rohit Anand he told me as i can see there is a problem in ur connection and asked me to wait for further 48 hours so if they could solve this issue in 48 hrs why did they take 10 months to resolve it. I want a refund of all the bills that i have paid in the past 10 months because airtel has breached their commitment of providing proper network if i dont get the refund i will file a suit against airtel in the consumer forum.

                      I am using airtel postpaid connection since a long time but from the past 1 or 2 months, i am getting my airtel 4g speed very low. It was good before but i am not sure what happened after that. I am having lots of gb data and its keep on adding every month but i can't use it because of lack of internet speed. I am not sure what to do instead of looking for other service providers and switch from airtel to someone else to get better services.

                        Address: 560035

                        I ported to your network and it got activated 17th november morning but gprs services did not activate. I'm unable to use any 3g/4g/2g data.

                        I called up the help desk and they said gprs services are not enabled. They said "we will forward it to technical team to correct it" but still now they have not done it and closed two tickets without resolving it and third ticket was supposed to be resolved on 28th november but today is 5th of december still now its not resolved nor i got any update from the team.

                        Ps. I have contacted airtel team regarding this through all methods (Email, twitter, call center and even airtel store) none of them seems to care. I have never in my life had witnessed such a pathetic customer service.

                        Below are the request numbers
                        Sr: 91135871

                        Sr: 91137595

                        I am writing here looking for legal avenue because in another few days the monthly bill will come and they will ask for me to pay for the service which i never used and violating there sla. If anyone knows the procedure please help.
                        Thanks,

                                    I recharged with full talk time which gave me 1gb data for a period of 42 days...without me using it it's getting deducted every day.i always check the balance when I've switched the data off...the usage shown is always more than what i ve really used.after a few minutes when you are checking the balance again, it's reduced by an another 50 mb(even when the data is off)...you just spend two minutes on YouTube and check the balance..it's getting deduced by an another 100 mb..they are deliberately doing it so that they can eat on the main balance once the data plan that you ve opted for finishes...so their main aim is to quickly finish the data that is coming with the plan.once it's done they get to your main balance and start feeding on it.despite numerous complaints i ve not met with a satisfactory reply..it's a theft right under your nose and u ignore it thinking the amount is not big..but your inaction only encourages them to repeat this again and on a larger scale..don't know if there's any use of complaining here .but i will lodge it on other forums as well.
