      where airtel launching 5G, insist to use 3G mode manually. shame on you( Add on TV highest video speed), after complaining since 2 yrs, lot of reference complaint no.generated only.
      is any body is there who can listen my issue.
      because i know and i can bet that you cant do anything except generating another complaint no.
      and plz suggest what should i do to get a level of service?

            Well, i’m an airtel user, since very long it has been good but from few weeks airtel is looting and manipulating customers, well earlier it 84days for rs 558 (3gb per day) now its 56 days for the same, but the speed is pretty much low and i’m unable to use my tariff as per it. The speed of the internet is too much slow which bothers me at my work. If airtel sees this, please get back to me asap or else i’ll port my number to some other network.
            Thank you

            Airtel 4g network and 4g internet is like 2g. It mean 4g internet is equal to 2g internet that much slow in this network. In the advertisement is shows that the best network is Airtel but in the reality is inverse. Charge in the internet plan is heavy but network and internet is not equal to 1% of speed of internet.

              I have tried to reach airtel customer for so many times and every time I get a different response from each one of the CSR.
              The issue here is that I am not able to generate send SMS to 1900. Each time I am getting ' Error 69 Message not sent'
              First time: When I called the CC @ 121 they told me that you have to clear the outstanding amount, I did the I send the SMS, nothing worked.
              Second time: they asked me to pay some amount in advance, I did, nothing worked.
              Third time: they asked me to. pay entire bill amount for the next month '600 rupees' and again I did, nothing worked out.
              4th time: they raised a complaint and said that it will get resolved within 24 hours, I waited, tried again, nothing worked again.
              5th time: they said to wait for 24 more hours, I did, and guess what nothing worked out again. It has been more than 48 hours and I didn't get any response neither my issue is resolved.

              The issue is not only with the Port. I even can send SMS to a special number. For example 567678

                customer care said that company will plan the new tower in that area, and for that no timeline. may be 6 month or 6 years. This is not a solution. Please provide some immediate solution or advise to port to other service provider.

                        Hi team,

                        Good morning,

                        I have made request for activation for ndnc three times (From last august) but there seem no action at all other than automated message "plz allow 7days for changes to become effective."
                        Current reference no. Is s[protected]. Dated 05.02.2020.

                        In spite of this request i frequently get unwanted sms.

                        Old reference nos. Are: s[protected] dated 27 august 2019 and s[protected] dated 21 september 2019 - nothing has happened, no action taken at all and i get same unwanted sms.

                        Also note that, i have disabled categories of sms from my airtel app on phone but no avail. It is just not working at all.

                        Request you to please look into it and resolve asap.

                        Thanks and regards,

                          It is to inform airtel that i am very much pleased by service provided by your agents. First of all, kindly teach them how to handle issues provided by customers to them.
                          I know nothing is going to happen with this. But still i would like to tell you that i am a hotel manager and my all airtel connections are going to be terminated if this kind of response continues from your side.
                          We made many calls to change the plan on one of our packages. Everytime agent said your plan is changed but still it wasnt. Nothing happened even after many calls.
                          This kind of service is not expected from airtel. Please consider it if you want your customers to be loyal to airtel and continue their plans.#thanks for disgraceful service.

                            Hi
                            My customer id is [protected]-001.
                            Due to some bad weather we are not getting any channels being paid for it when we called customer care they are asking us to pay 150 rs for service visit.

                            Why should we pay for service visit as we are paying for channels and everything. It is the responsibility of airtel to make sure consumers are happy in consuming service. Looks like we should choose airtel, pay for services and airtel company will just enjoy with our money.

                            As they are charging on daily basis we did not consume any service for 3 days and there is some problem with dish or antenna and those were provided by airtel itself if that is not working properly why should we pay airtel to repair them?
                            Yes we pay for it if we own antenna or dish but they will take that device when we disconnect the service.

                            I am happy to use airtel only if they provide free service to us else i will go for other providers.

                            We have requested for disconnection but as mentioned i did not get any call from them.

                            Dear customer, we have received your request 21221136 for disconnection of your airtel digital tv for [protected]-001. Our representative will call you within 24 hours. For any further assistance, pls call 12150 or[protected]

                                Outgoing and incoming was stopped since the plan expired on one of our family number being used by my nephew. So, I recharged with 48rs first but no incoming/outgoing and the auto message asked to recharge for unlimited plan so I recharged again with 19rs for 2days plan but still no change and again he auto message asked to recharge for unlimited plan. As my nephew had to travel a long way to his college had no choice to recharge again with 149rs for 28days unlimited plan. Even that didn't go our way still no incoming/outgoing.

                                So, I rang up to customer care and explained the situation and the necessity of having that number activated. One Mr. Ajmal took my call and conveyed me after going through the details that the incoming / outgoing was stopped because it was 3G sim and asked change to 4G sim only then it will work(this sim is being in use for more than decade now was just few day after its plan expired). To my surprise this information was not communicated to me at first place instead over the call auto voice message misled me to recharge for unlimited plans to activate the incoming / outgoing.

                                The irony is that the customer care representative went on to say that you have a 4G handset and your sim is 3G so we have blocked the incoming / outgoing. Either you have your sim to 4G or you put your 3G sim in 3g mobile. That was ridiculous. I said that you are giving the information of late and we are in need of this number as my nephew is travelling overnight and alone. It will worry us if he dont have a number to communicate then and there.

                                But Ajmal was very stubborn and gave us no choice except to change the sim or phone. It was around 8PM that this call was made.

                                I need expert in this matter or senior members advise to take the issue further to get the telecom operator to respond sensibly and refund my amounts which went worthless due to ignorance of airtel.

                                        5days back my sim has lost its network coverage and showing no service...
                                        When i went to airtel relationship centre they are simply swapping with a new sim and saying that it will be activated within 6hrs..
                                        If it fails then again they are giving me new swapped sim..
                                        2times they have gave me normal sim
                                        And one time h1 (All in one) sim
                                        And another time h2 series sim...
                                        But till now no sim has been activated..
                                        When i check my status of the sim activation through sms it is showing sim_swap_provision_failure
                                        Reason for rejection : new imsi mapping series not exists
                                        Plz solve my issue soon...
