      I've ported my no.[protected] from vodafone 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.

        When my prepaid account going expire which is intact with my service activation charges as per new trai rule, i am receiving communication alert in my reginal language is pronounced in high severity/ in a improper /unfriendly way.

        It is pronouncing as a warning. The message details in english is:
        Warning! Your airtel mobile's outgoing services will be stopped on …. To continue the services recharge with your faviourate unlimited pack.

        In english not sure how severe the word "warning" is but in telugu it somewhat terrying the customer and making him force to react or obey to the ask. The word "gentle remindder" or another high priority word is much better to understand the importance of the event and minimise the harshness and make the customer to take necessary action by making him understand the situation in a good manner. With follow-ups. The word "warning" in telugu is generlly issued by govenment body as per acts

          Hi team,
          I am writing to you to share my experience on raising a tv remote request i have raised with service reference no 97253699.

          I have raised this request yesterday i. E 15th nov 2019. I was told by the technician after he visited our house that he doesnt have the necessary remote and he would have to procure it nevertheless had closed the ticket and requested me to please wait till tomorrow i. E 16th nov 2019. I waited and after not receiving any calls i again was forced to call airtel customer care number. This time i was promised to resolve the issue within 7.30 pm ist. At the time of writing this mail it is 9.15 pm and my request for a new remote remains open.

          I am appalled by the service provided by airtel since this is the second time i am being forced to write to you about the quality of the service.

            Hi,
            (Here's the detailed description of mental trauma i went through because of airtel)
            I changed my network to airtel through mnp 2 weeks ago. After 4 days since mnp request, network was gone from my previous service provider so i changed my sim but network didn't show in airtel sim. I complained to retailer he said wait for 24 hours, after 24 hours he said the same thing again. So after 48 hours when he couldn't resolve the issue he told me to swap the sim. I didn't trust him for further service so i moved to airtel store to swap the sim for which they charged 30 rs. Even after customer care said it was free of cost. After 6 hours network showed on my phone. I was happy (Didn't know that problem was gonna start from here). I downloaded airtel app, i verified my details, but sim status was showing inactive in the app. So i called customer care (Used 5 rs. Which i already got in my sim). He said that don't worry your sim is active recharge your sim to get service. I went to the shop asked him to recharge frc495. But he couldn't as it was showing "bad voucher" error while doing recharge. So he called customer care they said that customer used some balance that's why its showing this error. Also i tried some other recharge online but it was showing same error. So i went to airtel store, they wrote my number and told me to wait for 48 hours it will be resolved. Guess what it didn't. So i went there again but the store was permanently closed for some reason (Probably because of their lousy service). So i moved to other nearest airtel store they tried to recharge but it was showing same error. I asked them to call the company to see what's the problem, they told me that we can not resolve this from here you have to go to the main office in the city (Lucknow). It was 10 km away but i went there. It was close for some reason although it was working day and time. So i returned home called customer care filed a complain, they told me it'll be resolved in 3 days but it didn't. I called them again they told me that my complain has been resolved. I asked them how is it resolved if i am still not able to recharge. They told me that they forwarded my complain wait for 3 more days (I didn't). I called them next day they said that the problem is not from here go to the main store in you city.
            I am frustrated now i can't go back to my previous network cause it requires 90 days to make another mnp request. I was so wrong to think that airtel has changed. I forget that they used to charge 250rs. For 1 gb 2g data.

            Now its been 2 weeks, my number is out of service for 2 weeks. That's my main number attached with my every bank account so i can't make any transactions cause it requires verification and otp and stuff.

            After 90 days i will move to another network obviously. Then i will port every airtel number in my family to another network cause i don't want my family to go through this mental trauma.

            I am saying this is the worst service from airtel, and i am the guy who uses bsnl also.

              Hi, i took a sim card with the number my brother in law holds. It got disconnected as he lives in us currently, so took a new pospaid sim with the same number. Submitted all the documents too. Airtel store person said it will get activated in 3 days but it's been one month, everytime i call them they said the approval is taking time it may take 2 more days for activation, visited the store too again but they responded in the same way. It's been more than a month and the sim is not activated yet.

                    I've been a mobile customer of airtel for the last 8 months. 2 months back i changed the plan to a higher value package. Everything went fine till u got a whopping bill, 2 times the value of the package.

                    When i called customer care, they are not bothered to look into the problem other than saying that it is correct and to pay for the entire bill. When details are asked they just say that the bill is right and to pay asap.

                    This is literally arm twisting the customer into payment. Highly unethical and disappointing!

                          #airtel #poormanagement #delayin services. If airtel do not resolve this. I will shift from airtel to jio. Jio offers better service than airtel. I will recommend all my friends to go for jio instead of airtel

                                  I had a really bad experience with one of executive at bharti airtel customer care. Recently i've been facing a lot of problems with services of aritel. Call drops, inablility to connect calls at single go, internet problems. Then i called an executive to resolve my problem. Instead of listening to what i wanted to say, she started to convince me that it was ok, that its normal because of large number o[censored]sers and they are installing new towers, so its going to get better. So instead of giving a real, tidy resolution, she tried to sell me her excuse. I wanted to connect that damn call so badly, i told her ok that resolved my problem. No thankyou, no nothing from her and then i said thankyou and she said ok.. Disconnected that call real fast.

                                    Hello sir/madam,
                                    This is nitin shelke, a customer of airtel from more than 3 years of both mobile and dth service. From 5th of october 2019 i am complaining about the unavailability of network to customer care executive and to nodal officer. No action has been taken from service provider till the date neither they have tried to resolve the issue.
                                    When i customer care executive they only apologize gives false promises to resolve the issue.

                                    I being consumer needs to call after every 72 hours to get the follow up of the complaint. This is really getting me exhausted and frustrated.
                                    Because all i was asking for 2g network simply to call and send a text message.
                                    I request you to please do the needful.
