Address: Bharti Airtel H.O. 49M.G. RoadPune H.O., Pune - 411001/4th Floor D Building Vega Center, Shankarsheth Road, Swargate, Pune - 411042, Pune, Maharashtra, 411014

I have been trying to reach customer care for my poor data connectivity for last 1 months, but your customer care team is pathetic, they are not able to resolve this.

Today i was told by jaswinder (Sr. Customer specialist) @11:15 am, that there is an issue with tower at my area, fixing this may take 90-120 days?
Is this how you do business? After a consumer is buying project, you are saying there is issue with tower and you can not use for 3-4 months? Is it justified?

        Hi converted my sim from postpaid to prepaid today. Signals are and incoming is active. But outgoing says i've been barred from making outgoing calls. Tried recharging the number on paytm and my airtel but both say recharge could not be processed as the number belongs to unknown operator. This is very annoying and i also happen to have a 449 balance on my airtel wallet. Please resolve this at the earliest as given my usage, not having outgoing even for a day is a big issue for me.

          Dear sir / ma'am
          Greetings!

          This is to bring your kind notice that i'm a regular customer of airtel services including mobile network and dth services. But from last few days, my mobile number [protected] is out of service without my consent to do so.
          I have never been informed by any of airtel representative or customer care services representative regarding discontinuation of services on my number. Now i'm facing a huge problem and discomfort due to termination of network services. Most of accounts and digital services have the same number as registered mobile number for otps, transaction verifications, online services, bank accounts and other similar credential tasks. But due to discontinuation of this number i'm unable to use all these services.
          So many important works, communications and contacts have been missed which resulted in huge financial, social and professional losses to me.
          Thus it's my humble request to you that kindly resume my mobile number and services on top priority.
          I'm expecting prompt revert and actions from you in this regard.
          Being most trusted service provider, i don't want to build a negative image of your esteemed organization and really don't want to terminate our association as consumer and service provider.
          Kindly look into the matter and resolve and resume my mobile number.
          In whole family we are 14 members using airtel mobile network services and 4 dth connections. So we don't want to stop using your services after long period of satisfactory services just because of one disappointment.
          So please let my faith on airtel strengthen more and more by resolving this issue at earliest.

          With last hope and expectation from airtel cellular services

          Thanks and humble request

            My balance was completed on 23 april 2019, from then they have stopped incoming calls and messages. I have no problem if they stop incoming calls. how can they stop incoming messages. if a person cannot receive otp from bank how they further recharge through online facilities.
            even they do not give option to opt out from their network and choose other network with same number.
            all I am saying customer should have the choice to choose, you cannot dictate or change your rules on your own, if we do not like your rules there is no option for leaving.
            opting for your network look like entering into quicksand either we cannot comply to your rules/difficult to comply with the rules or leave the network with same number.
            I don't know why conditions/rules became very strict all of a sudden. you have to according to customers comfort not compel them to comply with your rules by force.

                    At around 12 pm I received the 1st recharge refund of Rs. 349. And the 2nd recharge refund I received at about 3 pm. I requested airtel on Facebook message to look into the matter. I also complained about this on consumercomplainto.in today probably at around 10 am. Airtel facebook message told me that the refund process takes around 7 - 10 days from the bank side. Got those two refunds and now I am happy. Thank you again for helping.

                          On my mobile value added service has been directly activated by airtel and charges have been mentioned in my bill of march 2019, which display value added service chages for 18th and 30th march without my consent. How airtel can directly activate and add any valued added service without consent o[censored]ser and heavy bill has been charged by them. This is one kind of cheating to customer.

                              irregularities in receiving message about remaining data

                              The text messages that company sends notifying 50% 90% and 100% data used are not consistent. I didn't received 50 and 90 % data used messages many times and directly got 100% data used message. It's like airtel is doing this purposely so as to force us to use their top up data vouchers which starts around 50 rs. Also there is irregularities in their app notifying about current plan and data used. Many times i couldn't use see how much data...

                              I am prepaid airtel customer for 8 years. I now use the airtel app to topup my talktime and data for internet usage. Everytime i topup my balance remains zero!!! Plus when i call landlines, espeically air india, i get a message saying i have zero balance and can't make this call. Then another message come alive and tells me i can get ten rupees credit by pressing 1. Then the message says i can't get ten rupees because i have an outstnding balance due of ten rupees. Are you madd??? This is insane. Whats going on??? What does it take to make landline calls to air india... A well known airline??? Of course. [protected].

                                      I paid my airtel bill on 30th march using google pay and the transaction failed. Assuming that the money will be refunded to my bank account i made another payment for my bill via myairtel app and completed the transaction.

                                      However, it has been 30 days now and the money is not refunded. I confirmed from hdfc bank that the amount is credited to airtel and then spoke to customer care, nodal office and twitter support but they have not resolved the issue.

                                      This is a real blunder from airtel. Please help
