    I'm a old customer of airtel. Recently the service has become in a very poor stage. The network strength is very low, for that reason internet speed has reduced to a cow drawn cart. I'm unable to talk with my family & friends without any interruption. Not even able to use internet properly. But airtel is advertising "airtel is india's fastest network". Shame on you airtel. I think i should port out from this fake network provider.

        Hello i am airtel some for past 15 yrs it was doing ok but for past 2months their service is worst i am unable to make calls or receive calls (Call drop). I have got 4g mobile and 4g sim but maximum time it works on 2g. I paid them for 4g services and in return i am getting 2g service. I have lodged complaints with customer care (Do not remember how many times) but all in vain. Please solve the problem at earliest or suggest better service provider.

          I am the owner of sim - [protected]. When my mother visited airtel store, the sales people forced her to convert my prepaid number into postpaid infinity family plan without my knowledge. Even after my repeated customer care complaints via phone and email, there has been no response. Kindly remove my number from the rs.299/- infinity family plan asap and convert my postpaid [protected] to prepaid sim. Else you will loose a decade year long customer like me because i will stop using airtel sim.

            Hello trai,
            I am an airtel dth subscriber. My digitaltv id is [protected].

            As per the new trai regulations, the customer can choose channels of their choice and change it whenever they need.
            I wanted to subscribe to star sports 1 channel only on days that i need and discontinue on other days.
            I deselected the channel yesterday and until today the channel was still being telecasted for me. When i call customer service they said it is a free channel during the ipl season and i cannot turn it off.

            Even though it is free it is a big hindrance during this critical period of exams etc. I need to have the flexibility to be able to choose it only on days i need. I need your intervention to get this facility enabled for customer's like me. I will forever be grateful to trai.

            Thank you.
            Sriram[protected].

              It has been almost 15 days and not even got a confirmation for refunding the amount. The amount is big (35k) and airtel customer service is just delaying the refund with different excuses. I have filed the request on 12th of march and its still not resolved not even initiated the refund process.
              They directly closed previous 2 request without even intimating me and this 3rd request also haven't got any call for confirmation.

                  I have requested to port sim from karnataka region to delhi ncr region for my airtel postpaid number. Same time i transferred this number from my name (Himanshu arora) to my wife name.

                  First, it took a hell lot of time and follow up from my side to get sim activated once old stopped working.

                  Now, i am not able to receive any incoming as massage to dialer coming as number does not exists.

                  I am very old customer of airtel and look at the level of services you are offering to customers.

                  I am really fed up by airtel due to continous no network, call drops and now looking to port to jio.

                  But the problem is that i cant sent sms to port number. This is 3rd class service i am experiencing so far. When contacted earlier to customer care they told revisit store. Why the hell customer to extra pain to check and replace faulty sim which was issued by you guys???

                        TRAI is a big loot and then its companies such as Airtel, etc. They charge me on their own and then say that i have added so and so channels. When I delete those channels or ask them to do it they give me utter non sense such as the system is down or it will be done it 4 hours. Since the past 3 days the employees at Airtel are doing nothing but causing stress to their customers. I have 3 connections and even after doing everything they still leave 1 of my connections unattended which causes my monthly validity to fall because they charge on their own. I keep getting text messages regarding the addition/de-selection of channels but yet nothing changes on my profile account at www.airtel.in and I'm charged the same amount of rs900+ Someone needs to teach these companies and their bigger off springs how manipulating the customers and theft will lead them to big consequences.

                              Airtel sim on my handset is not working since 23-03-19. Called on customer service, but no help provided. Was asked to go through app. When my sim is not working, how can i go through app. Tried sim on other handsets. Everywhere it is showing "sim error". Sent mail to [protected]@airtel.in. They asked me to call. When i wrote i am unable to call from my phone as the sim is not working, they again sent a mail to call and tell the problem.
                              Meanwhile i went to jamshedpur airtel office and got a new sim, after due authentication from airtel. To utter dismay, the "new" sim is also ahowing "sim error" in different handsets.. Request airtel to stop harassing consumers like me

                                I have ported my [protected] number from Docomo to Airtel. It's been a month since I ported, I tried recharging more than 20 different times from Airtel app, Paytm, Google pay and Airtel website as customer care of Airtel suggested. No success.

                                I wrote a dozen e-mails to Airtel csr and also the Airtel nodal escalations. They just wasted my time asking more time to research, but not fixing the issue. I shared a couple of screenshots.

                                I feel like I have been harassed.

                                Regards,

                                Airtel didn't email me or call after this consumer complaint filed. Till now no response. They're trying to escape. What a company to deal business with. Now I cannot even port my number from them since it's just less than a month Prepaid connection. I am crying...

                                  Airtel has faslefully re-activated post paid connection and charged my credit card for 7 months.
                                  They agreed to process and pay back the amount but stopped responding after sharing bank details.

                                  When I try to track about the status, a new executive promises that problem will be solved in 2 days. it is almost 2 months nothing has moved an inch.

                                  Airtel Ombudsperson is a big joke. Never responds to any complaints.
                                  I have raised complaint at national consumer forum.

                                  will wait for a week and going to approach consumer court.

                                    I had given a request to change my post paid airtel connection to pre-paid on last friday (22nd march). Not sure what changes airtel has done my phone stopped working from saturday saying i do not have balance. I tried re-charging multiple time ranging from 100 to 1000 with no luck. Calling the customer care too did not help much. Then i finally send email complaint.
                                    I got a response yesterday (24th march) that they are working on this and will be resolved by 27th march.
                                    That is a a good 6 days without any connection.in today's age and time it is very difficult to stay without mobile. Now all the callers get a message that i do not have balance or something like that - a message that's forced upon due to provider issue. Since my number is more than a decade old i receive all my call on the same number.
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                      One of the worst network in india. We are facing lots of issues on our corporate numbers with this network provider even after our payments on time. Monthly two days our numbers are not working due to wrong billing from airtel team. Our marketing team is totally stuck because of call barring and network disconnection.

                                      Lakhs and lakhs of losses during the month ends due to this idiotic network. On top of this, there is no response from the dedicated account manager. Still this issue is not resolved and is getting dodged by airtel team every time i call for a solution

                                        Dear airtel team,

                                        Connection-[protected].

                                        I am totally harassed despite of continuous payment of recharge but the service is very poor.

                                        I was suggested to recharge as mentioned below images.

                                        I, ve spoken with the customer care they all doing bad job without any customer satisfaction. I, ve tried to explain my grievances more than 1 hour but they didn't solve my issue. All the female staffs are busy with their own life, i, d like to mention few name- miss deeksha time 12:30

                                        Miss kiran time 12:40

                                        Miss somika time 13:05

                                        I recharged my account on 7 march for 1 month but illegally it was stopped on 24 march.

                                        It should be activated till 6 april.

                                        This is totally theft from my account and symbol of bad service & harrasment of customer.

                                        These days everybody is busy & airtel is the reputed company but the name is defaming due to such employee & such kind of service.

                                        I look forward to continue my connection as per recharged by me for one month and acclerate my grievance do the next level.

                                        Moving forward suggest you implement the service.
