I am using airtel prepaid, last one year i am not getting signal in my home. While reporting network issues in your site https://www.airtel.in/opennetwork/reportIssues, a number 12118 is provided
Which is directed to services of airtel rather than signal strength complaint.

We can find your mobile services in detail from your official site. So please do not show such older way of advertisement. Whatever be the mobile pack, we need to get range to do voice calls. Or else your site should be truthful to accept such complaints. Or else please do not show such airtel advertisements in tv. Customer service in right way is the biggest advertisement rather than wasting money in telecasting dialogues and celebrities

      I was using the airtel prepaid connection for almost 12 years. The number is [protected]. From yesterday the sim is not working. My wife visited the airtel store at neeladri road and ask for sim change.

      She was informed that it will take 2 days to get the activation after taking the new card. And also informed that whatever the existing amount i have recharged few days back for 3 months 599 will not be carried over to the new sim.

      I would like to know or understand the recharge is done for a number or for the sim. If we are not recharging fro one day we got the disconnection immediately.in this case it is a technical failure of your sim and still we are suffering that our duration lost as well as the amount we recharged also eaten up and we got cheated.

        Website: Airtel.in

        Dear consumer complaint forum,

        I visited to one of the airtel office in banashankari 3rd stage in bengaluru for getting new a sim card as my card was damaged.
        I was given a new sim card and was told that the new sim will be activated within 4 hours and was told to pay up 25 rupees as service charge.
        I paid them and asked for a receipt but i was denied a receipt and was told they do not offer any receipt for the 25 rupees.
        I talked to a couple of them in the store but all of them told the same thing.
        I asked them i[censored] will get a message from airtel for the charges and they said no.
        Is this even a good business?
        I am having my own doubts.
        I called the customer care and asked about the process and asked if there are any charges and i was told there is a 25 rupees charge but when asked if i will get a receipt, i was told to contact the store itself.

        Request your kind intervention into this matter and help me understand the process and get me the receipt or my money back.

        Thank you
        Sunil aknur

              I have 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 [protected] port nmbr and my alternate nmbr [protected]

                  Wrong name and date of birth have updated in my account details for my Airtel number. Due to this, I am unable to port to any other service provider. Clearly this is a mistake and irresponsibility from Airtel's side. They have done this purposefully so that the customer won't be able to port out to a different service provider. And when I checked with customer care and Airtel store they told to me that it is my mistake and they can't help in this (Suggesting me to take Airtel postpaid connection, pathetic).

                    This is getting ridiculous. Every time i call a 1860 number from my number [protected] i keep getting a few beeps and the call gets disconnected. The issue persists over multiple handsets. On calling the customer care the standard response is that it will be resolved in 48 hours or that it will work after restarting the phone which hasn't worked. Not great customer service. If a resolution is not provided i will be forced to change subscribers.

                          Could not submit claim due to error on airtel website and mobile app. They called me and asked me to tell lie about actual date of damage. When verification call from oneassist came for verification (Airtel's insurance partner) they knew that i am telling wrong date of damage. So i told them the real airtel issue. Oneassist even worse than airtel rejected claim in less than 5 minutes and i didn't understand what was my fault. Airtel on the other hand mounted on me and said despite their willingness to help me (With guidance to tell lie to hide their lacuna) i told oneassist the wrong date of damage. Which fool would do that. Well nothing can be done now was their last line. So i am porting out my all numbers and also switching to different broadband provider.
                          I have all interactions recorded on phone which i had put on youtube as well.
                          In this extremely competitive world this kind of response will bring down airtel to shut shop in coming years.
                          Trust is what we pay for and each story like this impacts your business.

                            Team,
                            Its been very much frustating to have such bad network for which i am paying most expensive tariff.
                            Zero network at my home..browsing is a secondry thing one cant even manage to have proper voice call
                            Its a request to do something or it will leave no choice other than to change the network
                            Please sir solve our network problem.i send many companies buy not responses your company.
                            My number was supposed to be activated on 25-feb-2020. Its been more than 12 hours and i haven't got the connection yet but iam receiving messages stating "Dear Customer, your new Airtel SIM is active. Please restart your handset".If i restart its same. please fix this.
                            Only twenty call goes out of this number .i want to solve this problem
                            I have been charged for ISD calls for INR 800 whereas I have never made any ISD calls from my phone.
                            Also the time of call as shown is bill shows 5Feb when I was travelling to Nasik and was on another call so it can be doubled checked

                            Customer care is still forcing me to pay
                            I am very stressed and have told Airtel to look into it but no luck

                              I made the payment of rs. 1000 on 23rd december 2019 for the installation of broadband connection but due to some technical reason, connection request was denied by technical executive and was never installed.

                              From past 2 months i have calling customer care multiple times but everytime i hear that within 48-72hrs amount will credited but that never happened.

                              The company is now just playing with the customer. On 1st of March I received an email that amount will be refunded in 72 hrs and that was not done. On 5th of March received another mail that amount will be transferred to another landline number whereas I do not have any other landline number. I simply needed refund in bank account.

                              All customer care executives are paying attention neither to the request nor to the email.

                                I have purchased airtel xstream box 5 days back. And it it my biggest mistake. I am not able to stream airtel xstream content. I have raised this issue to multiple times to customer care. And three times to airtel nodal office. They are still not sure that they will be able to resolve it or not. Always they are asking me to wait for 24 hours and not giving any reply on that issue.
                                I am asking to refund my amount they are also not doing that.

                                      I bought an airtel 4g hotspot device and post paid sim in september 2019. I paid rs. 2000 for this. They promised high speed internet with this. I asked specifically about congestion and network issues in the area where i lived. But still they promised high speed internet. My plan was 399_50gb per month datacard plan with monthly rental of rs. 399 + 18% gst. But this connection has never worked. I tried to connect for few days and only airtel page was opening. It was not even loading google home page. I was really frustrated about this cheating and losing 2000 rs. Later when i asked people i realised that many people have lost money like this.
                                      I did not pay the bill as it has never worked for me. When i got a call from customer care i had told them to disconnect the sim. But i am still getting monthly bills for this sim that has never ever worked. I haven't even tried to connect it after the first few days in september.
