Address: Basavanagar, 560037

Hi,

I am a resident of basavanagar, bangalore and from past 2 years, i am having almost 0% network coverage as soon as i enter my house building. My house is located in a prime area and right outside the gate of the house there is full network. I have raised complaint for the same at the nearest airtel office branch (Vignan nagar) and even on the website.

They mentioned that there was some upgrade process underway and hence the disruption. They also mentioned that i would be getting an upgraded network service soon after the process is complete and they committed 2 months time. When i followed up on this after 2 months, there wasn't a satisfactory response. All they said was that the process is a bit delayed and asked me to wait for couple more days. This repeated whenever i went to them.

It has been 2 years since then and i am living with this poor connection. I switched to third party broadband for my internet services, but currently continuing with airtel for mobile for all of my family members.

Sad part here is there is no service and still i am having to pay for it.

Please look into this matter on high priority.

Thanks,
Resident of basavanagar.

    Hello,

    I was cheated by an airtel sales representative - nataraj who promised me airtel broadband connection if i paid rs500 to airtel. I went ahead and paid this online - proof attached - the payment of rs500 has been already deducted from my bank account. Yet have been informed airtel did not receive the money, which is false. He advised that i should make one more payment of rs 500 which i refused.

    I just need my money back, please help.

    My email is [protected]@gmail.com

    Thanks,

      Airtel not refunding my balance amount of rupees 31.80 when i ported my postpaid number to prepaid.

      They are cheating everytime and saying we are escalating your complaint to next level and nothing happened.

      I had called to care officer first time they told me that below 100 rupees they are not refund by cheque. Later they refund by cheque and check approved not passed.

        International roaming was activated on my mobile without my authorization and I was charged for international roaming while I was in Malaysia without my knowledge. I have called airtel customer care many times but still no body cares about resolving it. I have in fact asked them to escalate it and the supervisor promised to resolve it but to no avail. This is very frustrating.

          I have up upgraded from standard set top box to hd connection.
          Airtel person visited my home and set up my tv to receive hd signal.

          Airtel person has created a new id for hd signal, i was not aware.
          He has registered a new id for the same mobile number. And he was supposed to delete or deactivate my old connection. The old set top box is not connected now, but airtel is keeping the old id in the active state, and all my recharges are going to old id (Corresponds to old set top box, which is not connected, junked). Since last one month i have registered several complaints regarding this. Still they have not responded.
          Honestly, i don't feel like writing all the stories. I simplified it a lot.
          Since last one month, i have made atleast 15 calls to customer care, all the time they tell some stories, promise me to resolve, bot nothing has happened.

          Airtel service is really very bad & dishonest.

              My parents are on international roaming in france and other schengen countries for 10 days. Have recharged for inr 3599 to facilitate international roaming. Since yesterday i. E. Starting of the trip they can receive all incoming calls but are not able to make any outgoing calls or even use the internet. The pack includes a talk time of 250 minutes but they are unable to get any. Whenever they dial a number first a notification pops "airtel:outgoing calls barred".

              Can you please look into this matter on urgent basis.

                I am being charged for calling 1860 series numbers ([protected]) in-spite of having a unlimited local and std calling plan.

                On reaching out to airtel i was told that these are special numbers and you will be charged inspite of having a unlimited calling plan. One executive told that you will charge @ 25paise per second and another told that charges for this kind of number is rs.2 per minute

                  I was doing recharge of my no. [protected] through airtel wallet but 169 rupees debited and recharge not done, and refund also not done.

                  I received the msg same time which is as below.
                  Your a/c 734365 is debited by rs. 169 on 28jun19. Avbl bal: rs. 11878.39. Info: inb/[protected]/bharti televentures ltd (B. Call [protected] for dispute.
                  Above sms got on my airtel no. You can check this.

                  When i complained about this to airtel costumer care they denied to refund.

                  What the # is this going on. I assure you if my money will not be refunded i quit my airtel no. Along with 25 other airtel no. Which are having to my family and friends.

                  This is totally fraud.

                        I am puneet i am using airtel sim fo last 4 year. Airtel always cut my balance whenever i recharge. Recently they deducted rupees 23 from my account without any proper reason. I called to customer care but they did not respond me. When enquired to executive. Ms huma ahmad she talks rudely and ignored. She told that your amt is deducted as per company rules.. Kindly look into it and help me in getting my balance back

                        Regards

                          Hi there,
                          I have noticed that in May month there was additional charges for international roaming for data, I was very confident that the mobile data was off and phone was all ways connected to wifi, however nothing happened even after speaking with airtel customer care team, later I paid the bill amount and was very careful in reconfirming myself that data roaming was turned off, here comes june and a whopping INR 2000 on data roaming, again the same result, no solution from airtel customer care, I have shared the mobile data usage images thru email, but till now haven't received any communication from airtel.

                                Airtel 4g network here at Padum Pukhuri, Dimapur, Nagaland, very slow for many months. Can't get any work done using this network. Since we live here, seriously considering porting to Reliance Jio though been your customer for many years unless network speed improves. All Airtel users here are frustrated with the service here.
