Airtel has the mentality to disturb its custoners.

Really shame on you people for disturbing the customers. Now once again you people are disturbing the customers. Now i want to make a recharge of rs. 35/- from my main balance and the option is not coming. Earlier the option was coming but now you peole become # hungry fellows who don't have guts to earn your income and become greedy beggars by looting the customers every month or every 28 days. Really shame on you greedy hungry fellows who don't have self respect and respect for the customers. You people are such type of low mentality people that you forcibly deduct rs. 23/- from the customers balance without taking their consent. This type of attitude is shown by fraud and beggars which you are become fully. It's better for you people to leave the job and take one big katora and sit on the roads for begging so that ongoing people will give you beg as you are the greedy hungry fraud beggars to loot the customers. If you people have little bit self respect and respect for the customers then reply with the ussd code for recharging the rs 35/- from main balance instead of forcibly deducting rs. 23/- without taking the consent from the customers. Shame on you greedy hungry people for showing such nasty attitude and behaviour towards the customers.â  â

    Somebody should file a complaint it's been happening for a long time.

    I recharged for 1gb per day pack and the data is getting over very soon, today i installed another app for ture balance usage check, where it showed how much data i really used. I was not suprised to see airtel steals 300mb everyday out of 1gb data.

    I have the screen shot i will share

                My phone accidentally fell down and the screen got damaged, i had airtel postpaid connection so i applied for claim through airtel secure but they refused to repair my phone stating that “the cause of damage was found to be due to improper handling”.
                How can they say that i bought my iphone 6s for near about 45000, i take care of it more than anything. The incident was totally unexpected and unintentional.
                I think they need to revisit the definition of accident and consider my claim.

                  I have the worst exp with airtel they have no clue what they talking. I had prepaid sim and my husband is abroad so i went to airtel and told them i need to make this prepaid to postpaid and he is not here. They said you can add on to your plan. I got it added and he gets an sms saying call up airtel tomorrow activate the number and he cant do that coz it says no service. I am calling customer care saying he can't call up airtel ciz it shows no service then they saying he needs to be in blr. Now prepaid is deactivated nor is this working.
                  They have no clue what they talking. Airtel really sucks

                      This is to inform you that i got a call from airtel DTH service provider customer care executive stating that in 799 INR i will get 6 month service with all the channel as my previous pack. So i recharged my airtel DTH with 799 INR. But when i started surfing around all the channels i came to know thy are giving only free broadcasted channel for 799 INR for 6 month. Same has been informed to airtell customer care but they have not taken any action with respect to refund my money or to activate same channel as they promissed.

                        I have a mobile service issue for Number +91 [protected] in my residential address Plot No -101/203, Near Vijaya Homes, Vennelagadda, Boudha Nagar, Suchitra, Kompally. 500055.

                        I have raised a complaint regarding poor network and zero data service on 26.04.2019 and this was to be solved by 30.04.2019, since it was not solved
                        It was escalated by Mr. Naveen (Floor manager Airtel) and took 72 Hrs for escalation and
                        it was not solved, then Ms. Deepika had escalated the issue again on 03.05.2019 for 48 Hrs and issue didn't get solved,
                        then the complaint again escalated on 06.05.2019 by Ms. Angel even now the complaint didn't get solved,
                        then on 09.05.2019 again the complaint got escalated for 24 Hrs even then the complaint didn't get resolved.

                        Today on 10.05.2019 15:00 to 15:45 I received a call saying again the complaint is being escalated for 48 Hrs

                        I am feel ambarassed that no one in airtel is taking responsibility to solve my network issue even after more than 15 days.

                        I am not able to speak to my family peacefully due to the week network and no data services, I am just being fooled each time I call to them.

                        I have not received any kind of call from the network team of Airtel and even after trying myself to speak by giving miscall to 515 even after that there is no call back by the airtel team.

                        Please solve the problem or help me out in this.

                        I don't have enough money to maintain 2 connections of mobile and broadband in home due this high living cost nowadays.

                        I am loosing my self control and good relation ship with family also.

                            The internet connection is often very unreliable and has huge latency. The following shows the delays to day every 15 seconds:

                            I have seen delays of many minutes, but already a delay of many seconds makes the connection completely useless since i get timeouts. I can accept when the connection is slow, no problem. But these huge delays are unacceptable.
                            Please fix your router configurations, and if needed upgrade the backbone.

                            It looks like as soon as there is some more traffic airtel blocks the connection for a few seconds or even minutes.

                                  Though airtel says the complaint is resolved, but it's actually not. Perpetually there is no internet connection and i cannot access internet though it shows full signal. Every time i have to reset the device to get access to internet and same with the prepaid no. The airtel executives try to dismiss this off as 'device issue' but if it's a device issue there won't be a problem with more than one device at a single time. Plus, whenever i raise a complaint, i hear from airtel's end that the network issue has been resolved, that very clearly means it's blocked from their end for unknown reasons. Every time there is a site upgradation too, but i do not see any results. It's highly irritating to pay for services that i do not receive whereas when it comes to waiving off a bill, they never have the courtesy to do so.
                                  I work from home and it's completely based on internet, so if this issue isn't resolved at the earliest, i will be discontinuing my services without making further payments, because thisr negligence is causing me loss of work. I am not going to tolerate this any further.

                                    I bought an airtel sim on 22nd march 2019. When i bought the sim i was told the sim itself is postpaid and i cannot get it prepaid.
                                    I said i would like to change it prepaid as soon as possible. They said you can do it after 30 days and/or the first bill cycle.
                                    After that i went on 30th of apr to change to prepaid. They changed their tone and said it takes 90 days to switch from postpaid to prepaid.
                                    I called customer care (198) and now customer care said it takes 30 days.

                                    So i had customer care speak to the airtel employee in the airtel store near me and they could not resolve the conflict. So customer care asked me to wait for 48 hours to resolve this problem. I called again on the 8th and went to the store. Same conflict.

                                    It's now been 10 days and there is no resolution.
                                    I called 198 again just a few minutes ago. And still nothing.
                                    My question.

                                    1) is it true that some numbers are reserved for postpaid only? And cannot be bought for a prepaid connection or was i fooled?

                                    2) how long is the lock-in period for postpaid to prepaid migration?

                                    3) i am being billed for services i am currently not using. I have waiting for your resolution for 10 days now. That means i just wasted rs.100 out of my postpaid bill just in waiting. You are ripping me off while making me wait.
                                    Do something useful.

                                        Address: 560100

                                        I lost signal for my old number on 9th may 00:20 midnight and i have inserted your airtel prepaid sim in my mobile. As directed i have restarted my device and i got confirmation message that service has been restored,

                                        “your services have been set. Please restart your handset”

                                        So after i restarted, i got signal too, but lost it in under 2 sec.

                                        So, i have called airtel customer care number yesterday morning and have been informed that eta is 9th may. The response i got was deal with “no service” for a day as it is still in progress. Typically it takes 7 days for the port process.

                                        Okay, i have dealt with no service yesterday and literally missed all my important business calls, personal calls.

                                        But still now also i don’t have signal on my phone.

                                        Need help in this!!
