    I am facing network issues from airtel since the last 20 days. Had raised numerous compliants, followed up with customer care and still date my problem has not been resolved. They just want their dues to be cleared on time and no customer service. Every time only one thing is said that sir your compliant has been put on high priority and it will be resolved. The tat for resolving is 4 days and now it has been 20 days. I am not able to use my handset at all at my location. Airtel customer service is pathetic to say the least. Can resolve a network related issue in 20 days, what to say. Escalated this matter several times to their team but still it is open.

      Hi Team,

      I have raised network complaint on 20th July as I'm getting "NO SERVICE" at my home location.
      However, even after calling customer care multiple times haven't got any resolution. It's a corporate connection.

        I am last 6 month facing a problem much time that is channel not working error is b001, and I have complain in customer care and tell to ms vanisri, she is talking to me very loudly and did not give any logical solution. One thing I want say that i do not pay any amount to you for service to us because your company service engineer visiting my home much time and I have paid your company service engineer fee much time in one problem because I have paid already to you in monthly charges for service if you do not resolve in my problem so I can go for legally.

        I called to customer care for this problem on 3Aug2019 and they call me back on 17Aug2019 for this problem and she asking me your problem is different so you have to pay the fees of the company because The month of the end according to company policy has come to an end on August 6 but I did the Complaint on 3 August

              I migrated from vodafone to airtel a few months back. I had full dnd active on my number and like in past, i expected not to receive any marketing calls and sms on my number. Unfortunately this did not happen and i have been forwarding all those marketing calls/sms to 1909. Since this was going on for a long time i decided to email airtel customer care 15th august giving them the whole information and requesting if they could help further.
              Since then i've received 2-3 phone calls and emails now advising me that they have a dedicated team to look into this further and that i should now write to them and explain my issue in details. So i ended up emailing the whole issue in details to first the airtel customer care team and then to the nodal and appellate authority who by the way did not even care to respond back to me and now airtel believes that i have so much spare time on my hand that i should write my issue in detail to this new department they have created.in addition the response from the airtel csr also states that even though i have a full dnd on my number marketing calls and sms will reduce drastically but might still continue occasionally.
              All i want is some help to ensure that i dont get these marketing calls and sms on my number which incidentally i never used to get on vodafone but airtel is proving that it is incompetent in doing so and ensure that its customers are left to run from one end to another.

                    Made an accidental recharge of rs 3998 on airtel number [protected]. I was trying to recharge only rs 399. Paytm transaction id is [protected] dated 22 august 2019. Please reverse the recharge amount as no international roaming, etc, have been done.
                    Please email me back about your action. I am earning 20k per month, how can i afford losing 3999 in one click. Please resolve my issue and transfer the same to paytm account

                      Hello,

                      I have registered request/complaint via Reference No.[protected] on 16/08/2019 21:29:38. The same will be closed within 4 Working Days..
                      Today is 20/08/2019 and still there is
                      connectivity issues on my Airtel number [protected]. I can call only from Airtel to Airtel number .To others number there is no calling .I am tired ( Mera phone kaa outgoing band hai or phone kaa Paisa according to your plans 349 + GST chalu hai
                      I think this is not Airtel company policy
                      Outgoing phone band kar Kay Paisa lay naa
                      This is not a policy of company)

                      19/08/2019 I have visited to Airtel gallery Malad for final bill because I am tired call 121 & mailing to Airtel customer care .I think Airtel is wasting time and days by giving excuses.
                      For calling to others number now I am using jio sim. If you can't solve my problem let me know
                      It's urgent... I have ported my number
                      Only I have to submit my documents other net work not Airtel

                      Thanking you

                        I am an airtel mobile subscriber of three months unlimited data pack of 2.3 gb/day. My whatsapp setting completely blocks automatic downloads, hence consumption of 800 mb by simply reading messages and sending three screenshots to my business partners is highly doubtful. I just realised once i used my airtel app to see my data balance which reads 1.5 gb/2.3gb in the evening, just as i was about to share my hotspot to my android tv. Kindly solve the matter.

                            Airtel is doing bankrupt while recharging for newly migrated numbers from Docomo Network. Initially they were processing refund for the amount for which they weren't able to process mobile recharge.

                            But afterwards they found a way to bankrupt and loot people's money. They clearly start not processing any refund and continually doing the bankruption for the smaller amount, combinely odds of 1000 rupees atmost.

                            Somehow I had reached customer care by dialling 198 and somewhere by pressing 9 where there weren't option for 9. That allows people to reach Customer Care of telecom providers. Those 9 - Nine's, start doing bankruption saying to do initial recharge of Rs.199, because that's initial activation way of recharge amount.

                            To clearly state Bharthi Telecom Ltd., is shown their In capability in terms of always as is. And they are incapable to handle hefty of number. For example if you don't use your number, they will use to give it to others where you can recognize them by seeing your own number with other profile photo in Whatsapp. It could be your mAdhaar number.

                            That's as is Bharthi Telecom Ltd., and their Government Bonding. So you can understand. They just Bakruption. Snatch your number from you and give it to Brokers first (sort of), and after that anything.

                            They even have binding with all sort of Brokers in Market. Particularly Black Market.

                            Now I thinking that no way I can get my Docomo Number back. So probably that I lost my mAdhaar Number. So who answer here so.

                              I ported my number from jio to airtel on 12th of august 2019. I received a message from airtel on 20th august 2019 that your number is ready for activation and to activate the number call 59059 for tele verification after inserting the new sim. My phone is showing the network but when i am calling 59059 i get a message that this number is not registered on network. I am not able to use my number after porting kindly activate my number.

                                I had purchased (Before the year 2000) a sim card bearing mobile no. [protected], at that time company had assured that the sim is valid for the lifetime. At the time of purchase, i had paid rs. 1999/- for lifetime use. Nowadays the company defers from its promise and send unlimited massages for recharge and company had stopped incoming sms, whats ups and voice calls.
                                This way the company had cheated me and many others also.
                                The company should start its services immediately without interruption.

                                The SIM was purchased before year 2000, the validity of the SIm was for lifetime. Hence the queution does not arise for any recharge for validity, if I use the SIM for out going phone then I should recharge for outgoing calls. The company should not stop the incoming calls, SMS and other utilities.
                                The company had cheated me.
                                Company should compensate me by providing uninterrupted services as its promise.

                                      Hello,

                                      I have issued a new sim (As my old sim was lost due to phone stealing) on 17th aug, 2019 at around 1 pm. Post the suggested time of 6 hours, the sim wasn't reactivated. I again went to the same store on 18th august 2019. The store operators couldn't detect the fault and suggested me to go through the issuing procedure once again and wait for 6 more hours. On 18th, the time was around 6pm. Again, the sim wasn't activated. From 19th august, i have been continuously trying to connect on 121 and file a complaint at 198.. But no successful response has been received. Rather, the customer executives are being rude and talking things that make no sense at all. A few are asking me to wait for 1 hour more (Which i have done at-least 3 times already) but no result again. 121 is asking me to visit the store again, the store is not able to detect the fault and is asking me to call at 121.

                                      It's been 4 days already, the loss at the workplace is immense. I have also mailed at 121 email id (They are again asking me to call at 121). The complaint number that i have been provided with, is incorrect, to connect on nodal office number.

                                      I have tried all that i could but am not able to retrieve my number.

                                      From a company like airtel, this was not expected at all.

                                      It would be a great thing if this matter is looked in immediately.

                                      My airtel number to be reactivated is [protected]

                                      Connect me on [protected]
