      Address: 172 Beharipur Memraan Bareilly Up, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, 243003

      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.

                        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

                              I cant able to recharge my airtel number from any platform.
                              I tried recharging from airtel app but no luck,
                              I went to airtel store for the same and they said they also cant do it.
                              I have completed to costomer care, but every time they are saying they will resolve the issue within 48 hrs and still no luck.

                              Please resolve my issue asap, since i have to travel.

                              I am getting poor signal.Most of the times we are getting either 2G or 3G.What is the use of recharging then? Most o[censored]s are facing this issue.please try to resolve.
                              I applied for an Airtel Broadband connection and paid the connection charges of Rs. 500. The agent is not responding the calls/providing the connection, neither refunding the amount.

                                I contacted airtel retail office about the signal capacity in dharmavaram (Specific area), they said that everything is fine, so i decided to port and i proceeded with it.
                                Today morning my port got activated and i am done with all the procedural activities.
                                But now there is no signal in the specified specific area, contacted the respective personal they said that we are not responsible and we cant do anything for the issue.
                                The responsible person in their prospective is the person who sold the sim card. Infact that person is retailer for the said network.

                                So now i want justice since they sold the sim card by saying so many lies.

                                There is no network in my sim, not even weak signal is present

                                    Hi,

                                    My airtel prepaid sim services are expired and when i try to recharge the number through my airtel app or paytm, it shows either "transaction failed" or "airtel declined the recharge".

                                    I tried contacting the customer care through email on 25/7/2019. My email id is not registered with airtel and hence they asked me to authenticate it. I was not able to authenticate my email id through otp since my airtel number is not receiving any message as the services are expired.

                                    Could you please look into this issue and resolve it as soon as possible.

                                    Thanks,
                                    Kalyani

                                      A couple of weeks back, my airtel sim stopped working all of a sudden. Called airtel customer and i was told my number was active. So i assumed my sim card had been damaged and got a replacement sim from an airtel retailer. As soon as i inserted the new sim, i got a message stating that my new sim was active. I noticed the service signal on my phone for a brief second and then it vanished. Waited 6 days for the signal to be back. Didn't happen. Thought the new sim card was also damaged and tried the sim on other phones. Didn't work. Tried talking to the retailer about it. He said he didn't know what was happening. Called airtel customer care from my friend's phone, and was told that my phone number was active, but my sim was probably damaged and was suggested to get it replaced again. And so i did. I got a duplicate sim and when i tried it on my phone, then i lost the signal. The same thing is happening all over again. I haven't been able to pay my college fees or airtel broadband bill because my phone number is linked to my bank account. I have exhausted my supply of patience with airtel. Please help me. I am desperate.

                                        Sir,
                                        We, about 150 people who have been the permanent users of airtel for the last 7 years and residing in the sarai kale khan area of delhi. We have been associated with airtel dth for the last 6-7 years and we are taking airtel 4g plan for almost 2 years.

                                        In this regard, we have to inform you that the services of airtel in our area are constantly deteriorating whether it is ‘airtel dth’ or ‘airtel 4g’.

                                        Since, neither your services are good nor any help is made by your customer care number, which takes about 7-10 minutes to talk to your customer care executives, many o[censored]s have switched to other dth service provider viz. Tata sky, etc.

                                        So, we hereby inform you that if you would not improve your 4g services in our area within 48 hours, then we will have to port our mobile numbers, well before the next date of recharge, to other service providers whose services are better in our area, like reliance jio, through ‘mobile number portability’.

                                        Regards,

                                        Narender kumar
