      My Airtel Digital TV Customer ID is [protected]. I sent for activation the selected channel packs worth monthly subscription of ₹565.22 ( screenshot attached ) and accordingly recharged my account on 25Feb, 2019 with ₹570/= in round figure (scanned receipt attached) which by any commonsense should have been valid till 24 March, 2019. But surprisingly enough, my connection was suspended on 15 March, 2019 itself, i.e., 9 days still remaining before the expiry of the validity of my recharge. An SMS was sent to me saying that my monthly subscription was for ₹814/= and this figure appears on my Airtel Apps also. But how come ?

      I would certainly want to know from Airtel authorities why has it happened, and also clarify the value of the my pack I subscribed and recharged for ? The Airtel Digital TV Customer Service Platform presently is just inadequate to address issues like this and many more such problems that customer may come across.

      I look forward to your immediate response in this regard and hope the issue would get resolved soon.

        I'm not able to use my phone from last 8-9 days because facing internet data and Network issue problem. I have complained about it to customer care 5 times and visit their service center 2 times for the same problem. But my problem not get resolved even in this 9th day. Everytime they are telling different different issue with my problem. The worst part of this is the service provider is not resolving problem and sending me message that my problem get resolved. I have attached the screenshot of messages sent by the service provider. After contacting so many time with service provider I'm complaining here. Please get rectify my problem as soon as possible.

                  I called up Airtel customer care and submitted the complaint last year on Feb 2018.. ref no. 88960457
                  Till now no progress in the network.
                  But Airtel says they have already optimised the network to its maximum.. they are also saying they'll need to install a tower but till now not sure whether it has been done or not.
                  Resolve the network issue at the earliest.
                  Even I have requested for Airtel broadband connection since last year but they always says no feasibility in our area ..

                    Airtel customer care is not willing to help us. Several times we called them about the recharge done to Airtel DTH but the recharge does not activated for the next day also.we registered a complaint also whose no is [protected] & 87462470.but there is no resolution of our complaint. I have called Airtel customer care for more than 10 times and still complaint remains solved. Even after lodging the complaint they say they do not have any complaint registered. I have mail proof for complaint registered. They said to recharge the dth and channels will start working. I did that as well with amount of Rs.500/- and now these people say they cannot help and back hand team will call for the same.

                        My wife bought a new Airtel sim card in 2018 and it's having some problems like; not reachable most of the times and 'error in application' keeps appearing on the screen. Visited the above mentioned store for replacement of sim card but we were asked to pay Rs.150/-. Was willing to pay the amount but again asked to provide voter's ID card, was carrying only Aadhar card at that time. So couldn't get the sim replaced, is voter ID card the only mandatory document for a sim card? 'cos we were told to submit none other than the voter ID card only. Is Rs.150 for replacing a defective sim card justified?

                              After sending SMS Airtel DTH not even attempting to solve the problem and daily eating My balance .
                              At least make a attempt to attend to your customer AIRTEL.
                              Thanks.

                                Ask i am using airtel 4g data services. My internet speed is becoming so slow day by day and i have 1 gb per day, i can't able to use half of the 1gb a day because the internet is much slow. And then, even after i reached half of 1 gb, the internet never ever works for the rest of the gb.. This is sooo bad and i can't use at emergency cases. Please do concern and recover my issue.. Thank you

                                  I had done a recharge yesterday on dth.
                                  But channels are not coming, everytime it is telling me to recharge. I have already contacted customer care for 6 times since morning and they are always assuring me that they have refreshed and it will come in 30 min. Already sixteen 30 minutes have passed since first call. I am free irritated as a took connection with such a great joy and now this is what i am getting..
