Address: Karorichak main road bhagat singh colony ward no 12

I have requested two times for xtream fiber installation but still not installed.
Your technician visited on address, they said that to wait 2-3 days because of no power in fatbox.
I request you to please resolve this issue asap.
I need 5-6 connection in my colony.
Thank you.

        Address: Airtel Center Plot No. 16, Udyog Vihar, Phase-IV, Gurugram – 122015

        Airtel since knowing from years that FaceTime activation is having issues and has failed to address this and even went to have strategic and advertising partnership with apple inc. This is failure of services for which we pay the prepaid price.

        I have switched to eSim on iphone and can’t activate it. This is harassment and abuse of power

          This is in regards with the issue that I'm facing since from a very long time. I was trying to load the money to my Airtel wallet account. I used my Citibank account for this activity. However, the transaction couldn't be succesfull and when I spoke about the same to Citibank, they told me the amount has been successfully debited to the beneficiary account which is Airtel in this case and then I spoke to Airtel payments bank customer care about it, they said the issue is caused by the Citibank and not them. It's almost about 2 weeks now, still haven't got resolutions for the same and when I initiate the conversation with Airtel they blame Citibank and the same with Citibank they blame Airtel. It's going on a loop since from a very long time. Please help me with this issue. I request you to take strict action on both Airtel and Citibank for their hopeless services.

          Please find below the details
          Airtel case number - CASE:18789527
          Citibank's reference number[protected]

          Please find attached the entire conversation which I had with both of them.

            Dear Sir,

            I opted for a new Airtel Xstream Fiber Internet connection on]. I was asked to pay the amount in advance on the application for which I Immediately paid. Even after being promised for the connection on the same day, the team kept on delaying the installation everyday with some reason or other. Till date, there is no response from the team and the connection has not been installed. I request you to kindly look into the matter and get me the refund for the same.
            I will be grateful to you if you can help me to get the refund back from the company. The details of the connection applied:

              Dear Airtel,

              Your private contractors are installing poles for fibre internet in front of my house where we usually park our car. Jio did the same thing few months back but had the brains to install it near the already existing electric pole and not at random locations in my area. Please contact me with a solution in 10 days or I will remove “the pole” myself. I know the contractors are placing more pole than required...

I travelled back to Canada in Sep 3rd 2022 and used airtel SIM for 3 months. Suddenly in Nov end, SIM dint work. The balance amount was INR 40. Am not able to recharge / receive any OTP from India. Attached are the proof.

                26.08.2022 - +91-[protected] - ported successfully from Vodafone postpaid to Airtel Prepaid

                When I asked my fatherin law to visit Gowrivakkam airtel store, cennai, He was told there is no such airtel number in their record. How can I successfully use number for 3 months and suddenly am not Airtel's customer is I dont understand

                  Respected sir/ madam

                  My prepaid number [protected] can't use Airtel 4g internet from 6pm onwards. It's the scenario from last week. However, i did renew the Airtel 4g pack today with INR 299. even it's quite impossible to connect to Airtel customer representative, due to too much number- redirection service.
                  I kindly urge you to look into this matter in order to thwart the internet inactivity( from 6pm everyday) of airtel prepaid connection.

                            I'm a long time customer of various airtel services and suddenly my pre-paid number ([protected]) is acting weird.

                            It does not allow me to make any outgoing calls even though there is more than sufficient balance in the account.

                              In my Airtel Post Paid Account No.[protected], Bill No.BM2323l[protected] for the period 02 Dec 2022 to 01 Jan 2023 it was showing 99 international SMS sent by me to many international numbers. These 99 SMS were continuously sent within a time of 166 Seconds between 23:57:59 hrs to 00:00:45 hrs on 11-12 Dec 2022. But Neither I have sent these international SMS nor have idea about these international numbers and these international numbers are...

                              Address: M/s.Bharti Airtel Ltd. Plot Number 16, 2nd Floor Udyog Vihar, Phase-IV Gurgaon, Haryana

                              I have registered for a sim card replacement (for mobile number: [protected]) which was on the name of my brother who is currently residing in Canada for study purposes.

                              We visited store first on 17 December 2022 with all documents required including NOC which was properly written as they needed but instead they given their own format and ask to come back with all documents back after two days.

                              First they provided wrong mail id for documents sending which took extra two days then finally at 4th day they took copies of all documents including (my Aadhar card, my brother's Aadhar card, brother's VISA, Passport and NOC which was written by my brother and mailed to them on their email) then they did video call verification to my brother over WhatsApp.
                              And then provided me a new sim card replacement which they said mostly will take only **04** days to activate.

                              Today as on 10/January/2023, the sim card is still not activated. We have visited the only Airtel store here in Aligarh, U.P multiple times for the status and processing and have called on their store phone number ([protected]) over 10 times in last two weeks but the store lady who answers calls keeps delaying saying that it will be done by today/in two days/by evening, etc.

                              My brother's Indian Bank are linked to this number and needs to do important transactions and is stuck due to this slow process by the Airtel staff and facing problems in a foreign country.
                              Currently, he is studying and so the bank transactions are necessary thing for him but its been 20 days now and the company isn't doing anything.

                              20 days already passed since all documents and formalities have been completed by us but no store keeps delaying it without any exact date, now they are not answering calls (I can't visit store always, it's too far from my home), customer care number (121) have a long queue and never connects the call to customer representative.

                              Airtel social media team (twitter/Facebook support) also doing nothing after I've told them the whole case.

                              Please escalate this problem to Airtel for sim card replacement ASAP.

                              Thank you!
