I am using airtel from last two months and the quality of network is very low in my area. Despite of several calls to customer care the only solution they provided was "you need to go out of your home to enjoy our uninterrupted network". Thanks for this third class network coverage. "we build a tower every our" is what you say, isn't it? I guess you should build two or more towers every hour with respect to what you have. Totally disappointed by your service.

    I purchased a airtel prepaid sim in the month of march'19. Since than 4g/3g signals are too weak, in house as well as outside. I seldom am able to use internet. I made complaint at local level with no avail. They said, possibly my handset is old (Samsung s4/2015). So i purchased new handset vivo v11 spending 24000/-.
    But no change in signal status. Later on i also sent mail to airtel. They replied that we are working on it. But still situation is same. I wish to change the service provider. Can you suggest?

                Airtel dth is showing recharge plane rs 295 online and collecting 495 on the same recharge on the same pack saying 200 rs is taxes
                I wanted to ask trai that what type of tax they apply here

                And we also get less channels after trai new regulations
                By paying the same amount
                New regulations are not beneficiary for consumers it is now beneficial for operator companies only

                  I would like to bring to your notice that, i would be moving to my new apartment "nandi citadel" within a month. However, i have noticed that there is no network inside the apartment and it is very frustrating.

                  I would be working from home majority of the times and my phone should be reachable at all times.

                  I kindly request your team to look into this issue and please ensure to provide proper signal in/ around the apartment.

                    Dear all,
                    I am ajmal, customer for the airtel service for more than 15 years. We have shifted our house to the new location and i like to shift the connection to the new location. When i contacted the customer care, they have taken the address and said it will get shifted within 3 days. But suddenly i came to know that there is no feasibility and connection is not possible. When i contacted they said its impossible to give the connection for the new location address. But there is a people in my next street who is using the airtel service. I have explained this many times and they said not possible.
                    So this shows the respect given from airtel for a valued customer who is using for more than 15 years, they are ready to leave the customer becoz they have extracted all their needs from me within this 15 years period so now they don't care about me. So i don't know whom to contact regarding this. So anyone please help on this.

                    -ajmal

                        Number i was trying to recharge was [protected] (Belong to my husband) and is registered with [protected]@gmail.com marked in cc. Which i did recharge second time, just after this recharge.
                        And the number i tried to recharge with is [protected] (My idea number) linked to paytm account with email id [protected]@gmail.com.

                        This number [protected] (Where incorrect re-charge was done) does not belong to either o[censored]s and hence we cannot authenticate this number.

                          Step 1 - applied for a sim change on 01 may 2018, the sla was 48 hours for activation but the store representative promised lesser time.
                          Step 2 - post 48 hours the sim was not active, called up 121 and registered a complaint and was given another 48 hours time line, with promises from the manager that this will be high priority.
                          Step 3 - sim still was not active post the 56 hours time line, called 121 and they stated my complaint was "closed" as resolved.
                          Question a. Is are airtel shutting down?
                          Question b. Is it just balant disregard to thier customers?
                          Question c. They have no clue to whats happening?

                          Highly frustrating talking to thier customer care and the phrase "sorry" can be heard every second in the conversation!!!

                            Sir,
                            I have an airtel prepaid number which got deactivated last week because it was not in use but the number is very important to me because it is the only means of contact in many of my documents and government job forms. Incoming and outgoing calls of my number were also barred. How can i reactivate the same number? Please tell the needful.
                            I will be very thankful to you.
                            Tanumish

                              I m highly annoyed by the dth service of airtel dth service, my account balance expires 10 days before than the due date, i recharged my airtel dth with the monthly pack of 360 rs. For one month but the account balance expires in 20 days as the company deliberately activates some un necessary activation without giving me any information, i never asked them to activate anything other than my package, for which i pay 360rs. For 1 month, but it's now continued in succession for third time, a fraud is going on here with the airtel dth customers, & company's staffs refuses to do anything, plz help me for this

                                I requested for talktime balance recharge but i was mislead by sending me a message for unlimited talk time which i recharged but the balance did not top up. When i put my request in customer care they were very rude to not help me and instead told me to do a different recharge.
                                This misleading and rude behaviour will lead the company to loose old customers and loose a good reputation.
