      We have made a complaint at airtel office, coimbatore, tamil nadu for replacement of 15 sims which in problem.
      They are not agreeing to replace.
      Plz send some one to replace the existing sim.
      We are having nearly 90 connections from you for our group companies.
      If this problem continues or no co-operation at your end, we will change all our sims to other network.
      Plz act swiftly.

        I'm not getting incoming calls in my area. This problem started since march 2019. Our area is not a remote area. Its about 3kms from city. Almost all the airtel customers in our area facing same problem. I even missed emergency call from my kids school. People are switching to idea since we are getting good network. Several complaints gone to area manager. He has visited our area and promised to solve the issue but till now nothing has been done. Please rectify the issue.

          I have visited this store on 17/08/2019 to get replacement of old sim, as my airtel sim stopped working all of sudden. There they were not accepting adhar card by giving some silly reasons. So i have given my dl to check if that would work. However at the end they accepted adhar. And i left/forgot my dl there and left to office. The next day i went asked for the licence, they are not even ready to help in finding. They are not even allowing me search. There is no value for customer documents in this store.

            I got an international roaming pack for 30 days @3999 for my us visit and it was auto-renewed without my consent and intimation after 30 days. When i requested for this package before my travel i was not even told that it will be auto-renewed or i will be charged @649 per day after 30 days. When i found out i immediately deactivated it within 1-2 days of auto-renewal but was charged for a full month and after deactivation, airtel kept charging me @650 per day for following days. I have now received a bill of more than rs 11000 and i am not able to contact customer care also. The so-called toll-free numbers are fake. This is such harassment. I have sent an email at [protected]@airtel.com and hoping for a resolution.

              All of a sudden without prior notice my postpaid plan has been changed. I have charged exceptionally higher than my previous plan. Please help me.

              My unbilled amount is showing more than 430 rupees as I was previously using 99 plan. i have the recording with the executive he also confirmed that, as per new rule they have changed the plan. My question is without any prior notice how they can change my plan?

              And also I am unable to port untill I pay the amount. Please help me.

              The same happened with me and my wife.

                I've bought a new mobile and my airtel sim is not supporting in my new phone, where as it is working in other devices. And when i visited the nearby airtel office the employee over there was not able to solve the problem but without hearing any problem he was answering in very rude and unprofessional manner.
                I'm very disappointed with the service of the person and if in next day my problem is not fully solved i'll switch to either jio or vodaphone.
                I request you to train your front end employees how to talk and behave with the customers.

                      My money is stuck in airtel payments bank and i am not able to transfer it to my other bank account from airtel payments bank. It is written that transactions are suspended. When i sent an email to customer care, they are saying to give me the detail of pan card and adhaar card, they also asked about the account statements of the bank from which i added money to airtel bank, i already uploaded everything and then also there was a reply from them after that"we will address your complaint in 48 hours". They are saying like that from more than one week. I am a student and i don't have money because of them. Please give me the refund for my money.

                        Hi,

                        I have changed my job and moved to a new city pune, hence i want to stop my broadband services from gurgaon. So i called airtel customer care on last week of july to stop the services, then customer care called me four times for the reason, every time i said please deactivate it and dont generate my bill.

                        They told me that it will get done in 7 days. Now it is 26th august. It is still not done. I am so pissed for opting the broadband connection. My bill is also being generated despite i havent used broadband as i moved on 3rd aug to pune.

                        I have made multiple requests for deactivating broadband services, but they are still up and charging money from me every month.
                        Now when i am calling customer care, they are not transferring my call to the deactivation department.

                        My broadband number is : [protected]

                        I have send mail request as well. Kindly look into the matter.

                          Even after making payment airtel customer care calling my old parents and harassing them. There executives are useless and just send auto replies without even reading the email properly.
                          I paid 500 rs whereas my bill was 223. Now after 2 days again they are asking me to pay 415. And calling my parents since i live abroad. I stay abroad and have kept my number in safe custody and whenever i travel to india i activate it for local use. The same thing i did this time. And was been charged 223 which is fair and i paid 500 rs to cover my safe custody charges. Later when i requested to convert my number in safe custody they ask me to pay 415 again which includes 223 bill plus 150 safe custody charges and tax on it. Now i don’t understand where did my 500 payment went. When asked for bill break up airtel executive send the same standard auto replies hence reaching to consumer complaints for help.

                            Hi Team,

                            I had raised a query for no Data Network available at home in Virar Mhada Complex in April 2019.(Issue No:[protected]. After 4 months passed by still there is no resolution and still no data network.

                            708 GB of data is pending on my number

                            Still i have no resolution as will need to port out of Airtel.

                              From last 6 months airtel is charging me rs.5 to my bill every month for an international sms to[protected] which i haven’t sent and i do not know this number nor i have sent any sms to that number! When i spoke to airtel customer care they says sms was sent from my mobile. I tweeted about this and after my tweet airtel customer care contacted me and said i won’t happen again in future and they gave rs 50 wave off in my next bill. But again i was charged for this month and this it’s rs 128 (For late fee, tax and sms charges) when again i spiked to customer care they says they can’t help me with this because last month i was given rs 50 wave off. I mean this is ridiculous from airtel give rs 50 wave off and charge rs 128 extra in next bill. It’s a pure harassment from airtel.

                                  Sir/madam Airtel network tower is far from my home and we have to face many problems all videos buffer for more than 10 minutes. Plz install a network Tower near me. Plz I will be very thankful to you. In my area not only me also many other face the same problem. We all always search how to Solve Airtel network problem but no one was of our use. Plz add a network tower near me. We have too much hope on you.

                                    Mobile post paid phone [protected] was ported from hyderabad to chennai on 14th july. Both the calls receiving and sending as well as internet connections are not working in the premises where i live and use the phone. Complaint was lodged with airtel customer care on 14th july and subsequently reminded number of times. Even after 40 days, the issue could not be sorted out. I understand that this requires erection of tower which is likely to take months. Airtel quotes trai rule indicating that it requires 4 to 6 months for porting to another service provider since it is post paid connection. Since i am incurring heavy loss due to the connectivity problems, i may be allowed to port this number to another service provider like bsnl and also refund the amount paid so far.

                                      Regards
