Hello Team,

My father aged 65 using the prepaid number [protected] since 2006 and he has been a loyal customer since then to Airtel. All of a sudden, his sim not working (no network), and went to Airtel store for a replacement sim. Then we realized that it is under name of Sujatha M which we don't know from where the hell that name came into the picture.

We can share all the proofs if required that we are using...

    Airtel has one of the stupidest and idiotic executives and supervisors. Rupali(Supervisior) she sounded so confident that I issue will resolve in next two hours, if not I will call you and escalate your issue. But she never dd as expected. Everyday I called these scammers and asked for very simple service of wifi plan upgrade but these fraudster daily asked me to pay either 360, 23, 22, 70 etc. post making payment your plan will get upgraded but at the end of the day, I get a message from Airtel that your service request is cancelled due to partial payment. Why I am calling them scammers and fraudster because if they can't upgrade the plan they could have said it upfront but they never did. Third class service from such a big brand. I will definitely recommend all my relatives and known people to stop using AIRTEL SCAM SERVICE.

      I've ported my no.[protected] from bsnl to airtel and i've also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number, along with this there's poor network signals in our locality. I couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service

                  My sim card was working fine until last evening when it lost reception. I went to nearby shop and they told that the number has been deactivated. I have been a loyal customer to Airtel since 2017 and I've never expected something like this from Airtel. Kindly look into it in the earliest.

                    Refund for double recharge

                    Q. Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 179 and had activated a pack for next 28 days.

                    Next using 'Gpay' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 179and pack for next 28 days.

                    I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

                    Now they were not ready to refund it as it was done...

                    Next using 'google pay' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 179and pack for next 28days.

                    I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

                    Now they were not ready to refund it as it was done through third party app (google pay) where in they were ready to refund it if was done through airtel app.

                    Does it make sense?? No matter how you pay money i was paying it to airtel.

                    Kindly look into this at the earliest and i am ready to provide you all yhe the transaction details as i want to find a solution for this by having the money refunded.

                            Please look at the below mail thread. Still Airtel Black is not activated. Kindly compensate me for the mental agony caused and false promises for more than 2 weeks. And no proper response to mail/calls. All my time wasted waiting for Airtel Connection that too after paying advance amount.
                            For 1 week there is no connection at all and no one listened to the complaints. The field agent phone was switched off and no action was taken. Still it's not activated properly.

                            Hi,

                            Is there any update on this?

                            I still have no Airtel internet connection. I want a refund for days not served to me, despite taking Rs 4000/- as advance and facing mental pressure and other monetary losses due to your unreliable and unsatisfactory service and resolution.

                            The app is still not working properly, no one contacted me for setting up Airtel broadband. Moreover, the DTH that you provided, has lesser channels that I had opted for and the customer executive said that those channels are not part of my pack, whereas they actually are as per the website information, but as there is no updated info available on app, I can't confirm the same to him.

                            Such a pathetic service! Even after complaining on calls and mail, and waiting for 3 days (despite your promise of 24-48 hrs), still no one is ready to take the responsibility. The internet down time is already approaching almost a week now and my plan was changed much earlier.

                            I will be bound to forward the case to NCH if still there is no solution from your end, other than changing the service provider. I still have my DishTV hardware connection intact and can easily switch back to my previous service provider as I see no benefit of Airtel Black. The monthly bill is also not yet generated.

                            Kindly check the same on priority.

                            Dear Airtel Team,


                            I hope you are aware of the fact that I am Airtel Black Customer and was promised priority resolution service.

                            Despite several complaints and reminders still I have no broadband connection. Is this the service you provide to premium customers?

                            The customer representative has no answer and the connection agent is not picking up the phone.

                            Kindly check the same at the earliest as it is already many days since I moved to Airtel black and still fibre connection is not provided and now even the copper connection is removed and there is no internet connectivity and no update on this.

                            Kindly explain the delay and this sort of attitude to me. I can't rely on Airtel anymore even when switched to Airtel Black. The app still shows incomplete information for my account.

                            As per your written assurance in various previous mails and Airtel Black promises, Airtel has repeatedly failed to provide/resolve or even listen to customer's voice. Kindly compensate me for the mental pressure and monetory loss faced by me by relying on your services, failing which I will be required to disconnect and move to other service provider.

                            You may check your complaint records and get in touch with your field agents Mohit and Praveen to seek clarification.

                                Dear Sir/Madam,

                                I am writing to file a complaint regarding my Airtel Wifi connection. On March 9th, I made an advance payment of Rs. 2829 for the service. However, since March 10th, the connection has not been working properly, causing a lot of inconveniences.

                                I raised a complaint with Airtel on March 10th and have been calling them regularly for resolution. Despite numerous calls, the issue has not been resolved yet. This has caused me a lot of frustration and inconvenience, as I rely heavily on the internet for work and personal use.

                                As a loyal customer of Airtel, I am deeply disappointed by the poor service that I have received. I request you to please provide me with a refund of the advance payment made for the service and discontinue my airtel wifi connection.

                                I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to hearing from you soon.
                                Following are details of wifi

                                also, I have attached call logs and transaction details of the advance payment.

                                Sincerely,

                                  I am in Canada and have been using airtel prepaid SIM for about 2 years. I used to get incoming messages but recently last 2 weeks or so, SIM not being detected and no incoming messages.

                                  Anything has been changed recently?
