I have 3 prepaid sim for last 10year. But there is no complain regarding network but i think that was my big mistake that i believe in your costomer support officer she told me change to postpaid. I think may be good offer but when i change to postpaid my network will came after 4days. They told me there is a call verification from our office but after 4days they call me and my network was came. At the same time they told me take family pack and you will got good offer. Already 10days gone but one of my family phone network not came yet. After repeated complain today morning there is a call varification from your side. And told me within 30min your network will came back but already 12 hour gone when i visit to your costomer care office at xavior square bhubaneswar branch they told me if you have any problem please change your phone operator. That i will 100% i change to jio operator. But if someone ask to rate your postpaidnetwork then my opinion 1 out of 10. Very very poor support from airtel.

      Airtel provides good network speed but only upto 500 mb data usage...! After that the speed goes on decreasing! Is this how they treat their customers? We dont request it, but we pay for it! Either you have to solve the problem or i have to change my operator! I face this problem daily and half of my internet data will be lost because of slow usage!

        Hello,

        My complaint on the subject is detailed below.

        As required by Airtel that sim should not be left unused beyond 90 days, otherwise sim will be deactivated, I received an sms on 05/05/19 to do a recharge within 15 days to ensure continued services. Accordingly I have done a recharge of Rs.399 on 14/05/19 and I have received message for the successful recharge (Transaction ID [protected]). This recharge is made within 9 days of receiving the message. Furthermore, I have made 3 successful calls to 121 on 16/05/19 and few calls to another bank toll free number before being deactivated on 17/05/19. In addition there was a balance of over Rs.19 at that time.

        I have complained to Airtel (CC - customer care) on 17/05/19 that mobile services were stopped and Airtel CC replied on 18/05/19 that they found no usage since 90 days & the services were discontinued on 17/05/19. As advised by Airtel CC, I approached Airtel relationship center in Vidyaranyapura & they replaced with another sim, but said that earlier recharge amount will not be available. Again I complained to Airtel CC on 18/05/19 and provided them the history of sms received & recharge done (as I have mentioned in the earlier paragraph) and Airtel CC replied on 19/05/19 that once number is disconnected, balance cannot be carried forward to reactivated number.

        In any case, as mentioned in the first paragraph, I have done the recharge after receiving the sms & within the given timeline and the recharge amount is credited to Airtel account, that means my amount is lying with Airtel. If the number was deactivated, then Airtel should have taken measures that the recharge should not have been accepted in the first place. It is entirely Airtel's fault. I need refund of the recharge amount of Rs.399/- as Airtel cannot have my amount in their account at my expense.

        I am enclosing email correspondence with Airtel & screenshot of successful recharge as proof.

        Thank you
        Vishwanath M R

                Dear sir,

                I have been complaining to airtel on pathetic network coverage at my home. Many complains done since last one and half years, but no one listen at airtel. They close the complain without action on it to meet their kpi's.

                This complain no reference no.[protected] done on 8th may 2019 still not resolved. There engg came and given internal report that there in no network coverage at my home. Customer care people trying to divert the topic saying your no is not listed with us giving some other mobile no. I told them this time you cannot close the complain without my consent and written communication from my registered email id.

                Below is the original mail msg received when complain done to airtel.

                (Dear customer, reference no.[protected] for your airtel mobile has been registered on 08/05/2019 11:24:54. The same will be closed within 4 working days.. To check the status, sms sr (Ref. No.) to 121.)

                Its more than 20 days now and in practical sence one and half year, but my problem remain same, which is not solved.

                Pathetic airtel network at my home, i have been complaining but always fake promises done.

                Request you to kindly help me resolving this very old problem

                      I live in ishmailpur, haryana. There are around 30 users of airtel near my house but everyone faces same problem of network issue (Voice and data) both.
                      I contacted airtel office some time ago and they convinced me that they will install a new repeater tower to boost the signal but they haven't done it so far.

                        Airtel is taking its customers for a ride. I had subscribed to airtel ir 10 pack to usa. I got a message when it was activated but nowhere in the message it was mentioned that it will be reactivated after ten days automatically. They send no message warning of reactivation. I cam back to india after 12 days, and to my horror i find that i have been charged twice for the pack. It was auto renewed without any consent or any warning. This is pure mis-selling. It is unscrupulous and unbecoming. I have filed a complaint ref no.[protected]. They send all kinds of sms, but such ones are deliberately held back. Even when buying the pack, nowhere was it mentioned that it will be auto-renewed on the website. A terrible company. I think i will change my service provider. Can't subscribe to unscrupulous people.

                            I'm Airtel new subscriber from February 2019 as per your advertise you shown the highest internat speed, but we get only 1.05 Mbps speed in this area kasez and village varshmedi Anjar so I'm disappointed for your service
                            this problem can you solve or go with other services like Vodafone, idia

                              Dear sir,
                              I am an airtel subscriber since last three years and was satisfied with your net services upto feb'19. Since feb'19 i am facing lot of problems as regards to your internet. Everyday i have registered complaints for internet services. Daily my internet service get disconnect for about 3 to 4 hours since feb'19.

                              My business gets disrupted and its very annoying to register complaint everyday. Your technicians come but they are unable to solve the problem why my internet services get disrupts for 3 to 4 hours daily. They have replaced modems three times but they are unable to find the root cause of this problem.

                              I am tired and annoyed by this service and contemplating to file case in consumer court for deficiency in services. Please look into the matter and provide me definite solution since you are boasting of the fastest and efficient no.1 internet service of india.

                              I hope you will read and attempt to solve my problem on urgent basis.

                              Regards,
                              For j. C. Shah & co.

                                I need new tower of airtel in babrala, uttar pradesh as the speed of airtel 4g is the worst. Two weeks before it was working fine but now when users are increasing airtel must get a new towers installed in babrala as soon as possible as the internet is a common right of a men. Infact it is the costly internet provider but do not provide a good internet services.in my region there is only one tower so a new tower must get installed.

                                Thank you.

                                      After trai regulation, dth networks are expected to charge per channel rates. But airtel has fixed packages only and doesn't allow for individual channel selection. Even the packages suggested has many channels unwanted. Even after 3 months they are talking of technical issues that is preventing them providing the ala carte packages. Kindly investigate and give the subscribers some relief. The earlier packages used to be cheaper.
