I have airtel network issue and even after complaining from past 1 and a half year no resolution yet. I have keep on following up on them. Even after tweeting only one response i receive that i should wait work is in progress. From past 1 and half year work is in progress. I need a strong action against airtel. When someone calls me when i am at home they get a response saying that my mobile is switched off. And i get a 2g internet at my home. I have to go out and use if i need to use internet.

    I had protected my device through airtel handset protection scheme. My device got damged accidentally. I raised the claim and you have rejected the claim saying that the purchaser name and claimant name are not matching. Just you inform you that during registration of my device i uploaded the same documents but you didn't tell me that names are not matching so it's a not possible to protect the device with us. When it was damged, you are giving me this rubbish excuse. This is not acceptable to me. You have to process for repairing the device.

      On 22nd july i submitted a application to change my existing airtel number [protected] from postpaid to prepaid. It was completed on 22nd night and i made a recharge of 169 on 23rd july. But since then i couldn't able to use internet on my mobile. I could make outgoing call and can receive incoming call. Sms functionality is fine. I am not getting any 4g or 3g connection in my mobile. Only 2g connection is active.

      I went to a airtel store and they said that all profiles and settings are good. They raised one ritm request to resolve the issue. Ritm number is ritm1963294.

      Could you please look into this request urgently so that i am able to use internet soon.

        This is regarding the airtel dth customer id [protected]. I got the connection installed in march 2019 and there is some problem that comes up every single month.

        After three months of installation, the set-top box stopped working. I had filed a complaint regarding the same on 23rd july and i was told that the technician will visit by 11:00 am on 24th july 2019. The job was assigned to the technician named mr. Ashok with the contact details as +91-[protected]. He gave me a call on 24th july at around 10 in the morning and enquired about the address. He did not come by 1:00 pm so i called him back and he told me that he will visit in 30 minutes. At 4 again i called him up and got the same response and again at around 6. He never turned up on that day. He came on 25th july 2019 and replaced the set-top box saying that the channels will get activated in 24 hours max. That again did not happen and the error code 14 kept on displaying on the tv saying that the view card was not properly inserted. The technician came after 40 hours and does this. He did not even know how to insert the view card properly. I called up airtel and filed a complaint regarding the engineer with the reference number as 92110346.

        Now, on 26th july i called up airtel in the morning and explained the entire situation to the customer service specialist. I got the call re-directed to a senior supervisor and was assured that the technician will come by 6:00 pm the same day. After waiting till 6:30, i again called up airtel and spoke with a senior supervisor named mr. Utkarsh. He assured me that the senior technician will visit between 10-11 am on 27th july and if that does not happen i can go ahead and file a complaint against mr. Utkarsh. So, i am still waiting on the technician. I have called up airtel customer care again and have been told by a senior supervisor that the technician will come by 4:30 pm today.

        I need to file a complaint against the technician, mr. Ashok who had replaced the set-top box and against mr, utkarsh, senior supervisor at airtel. I spend almost 1-2 hours daily tracking these requests and wasting my time and energy. Three months with a new connection and more than 3 complaints i have filed regarding the connection issues, customer service issues, set-top box issue, and now the view card issue.

        What kind of service is airtel offering? I need customer service forums to look into this matter and take actions. I need compensation for all the time, effort, money, and energy that i have invested and wasted.

          I have been billed for us international roaming charges though i have not been to us in the month of june at all. I went to singapore and i have received the bill for the same too.

          The customer care is saying that i have been to indonesia as well bu i have not been there, i don't even have the visa for the same. If it catched the network somehow, i will not pay 4000 for the same.

          Also they cannot count singapore and malaysia in one zone and us and indonesia in one zone. This is only exploitation

                  This is with utmost regret that i ve been trying to reach my mother 76 and aunt 60 who have airtel prepaid no. S[protected] and[protected] based at 172 beharipur memaran bareilly up from the last few weeks and constantly getting repeated non availability of network and out of coverage area problems. While calling them the voice keeps dropping in between and sudden cut off.. I have to urgently reach out to them since i am currently overseas and have tried like 200 times to reach them but all in vain. I am extremely worried about them currently... Can you please switch on your mobile tower of this area in western up... This problem has been persistent for some time now... As when i was there a few weeks back i thought it will improve but this continues to be a major issue with your network., as when i even tried to call police or emergency line... It kept on disconnecting... They have been using normal mobile phones without any network data but now since i am away this has become a priority for me to check on their well being as i ve trying in vain and completely can not get through to them. There is no use of mobile phones when you can't speak... Please resolve this on high priority so that i can reach out to them.

                      Without my knowledge/notice unwanted services were activated by airtel on my number, and the bill went up from regular inr 350 to inr 1729 for 1st month, to inr 10780 on 2nd month and inr 16056 on 3rd month.

                      During the complaint, the call center rep mentioned that it could be software/technical glitch that led to the activation o[censored]nwanted service and airtel would probe the issue with the concerned technical team and rectify the bills.

                      Its been 45 days since the first complaint call was made and there is no response on the probe with the technical/software team. I was continuously charged on the unwanted service and now my number is barred completely.

                      Since a month, i have reached out to airtel call center, have written on twitter / dm to airtel but there is no movement on my case with the technical team, but billing team says the bill is valid. Should i bear the charges for the unwanted services that airtel activated on my number.

                      P. S. Unwanted service that was activated is “international data usage”. I had never asked to activate this service.in fact, i had asked to deactivate this service in nov-2016. Without my notice airtel has activated on 26-april-2019 on my number and charging me since then.

                                I had upgraded my airtel 3g sim card to 4g before 1 week ago, but unable to get 4g network till date, my second sim is also airtel and works fine in the mobile. I had tried to contact airtel customer service, but no one resolved my issue, only answer i got is, its already 4g upgraded but not showing 4g even after changing network setting, remove n inster sim as guided by support team.
                                Pls fix it fast, i can't waste more time.

                                    Address: Yakamuru, Krishna, Andhra Pradesh, 521165

                                    My Village(Yakamuru - Pin: 521165) was not having proper Airtel Network Coverage after 4G introduction. I had raised many complaints with CustomerCare, Applette team, Social Media Team, Local DM, etc., from past 12-18 months. I stay in a metro city and when trying to call my Parents, it is really disgusting to atleast say HI or Hello when they are inside the House. They have to walk out of the House to have a conversation. Same cannot be done during the Night hours and it is always risky. Airtel is not at all considering the seriousness keep replying with the same templates. Request Airtel Andhra Pradesh team to work and provide us seamless connectivity

                                    As per the Customer care, Ticket which was raised on 11th July 2019 doesn't have any update even after 10 days. As of now, there is no one in Airtel who can provide me an update for the network issue raised.
