I have airtel dth account [protected] with the balance of rs487.24 and still, the status shows suspended on ivr and self-care portal. Initially, the technician came and told its cable issue, replaced it and charged rs180/-, even after that the service is not restored. I have made enough calls and also emails.

This is a very careless attitude and i don't see any resolution. Every time i call, a new representative comes and he/she doesn't know the history properly and they say in one hour it will be resolved.

When i asked rs180/- i spent was just because they have not checked the error properly and just did it as a routine fix. And that didn't actually solve the issue. When i asked to return the amount, they said technician has come for we charged. This is just being taken for granted. They simply charge without providing a solution.

I want to close this service after they reimburse the amount. I am also looking at closing all the other channels to which i am subscribed with airtel.

Even after they solve the issue. I will suspend this service as they simply say we restored. I want them to pay a penalty for negligence and careless attitude.

    How dare airtel stop incoming calls for a prepaid number when there is validity till 2037. Airtel is harassing it's customers to get a minimum recharge to get back incoming services. Where on earth is there a rule that u can block incoming calls for a prepaid number which is active.
    I will definitely lodge a complaint in the consumer court. I will sue this bloody company. Exploiting customers has become a game for you companies. Your network horrible. Never could i use the data due to very poor connectivity.

            Dear sir,
            I am an old man of 86. Yrs. Retired from private organisation.
            Airtel is charging not only tel. Starting 1860 and at times 1800 too.
            For 1860 - the caller is to be charged on local call basis & the callee is to be charged for std (If required)!
            In postpaid and prepaid plan all std and local calls are free - why then we have to pay inflated bills - which are shared between callee and telecom provider!
            With ivr. System the callers billed heavily (As the caller has to wait in que for long periods - and pay for the benefit of telecom provider & callee - which shared between them); why sir.

              My mother's sim is a micro sim and we needed a nano sim. At the airtel office in brookfield, staff said the name is different spelling and id proof is wrong. When asked how to resolve the issue he asked for 3000 rupees but new sim is only 25 rupees. This sort of extortion is not expected from airtel. I have now "tried it" as per the tv ads and i'm so not happy with the staff and workers. Most of them were dozing off and playing games and not bothered to solve a customer's problem. Hope the airtel team gets back to me.

                      I have airtel secure plan which covers my mobile handset for repairs of liquid and accidental damages up to rs.25000. And i have raised a claim (Service request number 4238292) on 15th may 2019 for my device claim.

                      As per the terms and conditions of the policy the claim to be field with in 48 hrs of discovering the damage.

                      In my case, while i was walking on the road a biker came from behind and hit me, the impact was so much that the phone fell from my shirt pocket. However at that particular point the damage was not visible. Though the incident happened on 10th of may 2019 and i could discover the damage only on 14th may 2019 as the damage was not visible on the date of incident.

                      Now airtel, has rejected the claim stating that the claim to be field with in 48 hrs of the damage done. Where as, the terms and conditions of the policy says that the claim to be submitted with in 48 hrs of the discovery of the damage.

                      I have raised a complaint by visiting the airtel office at begumpet, splendid towers, hyderabad on 16th may 2019. Today which is 17th may i received a call from airtel customer care and the executive was so rude that she was mentioning that it my mistake that i have not checked the damage on the date of incident properly and hence they can not honor the claim.

                      I am attaching you all the documents with this complaint.

                      I have been loyal to airtel for long years and i have 2 airtel po
                      St paid connections and airtel broadband connection and airtel dth.

                      I demand the company to honor my clam 100% and also i demand a compensation from the airtel for the mental agony caused.

                        Dear sir, i'm among one of the early subscribers of airtel. I become the postpaid subscriber of your company in j&k during the initial days when company started the operation in the area. Till now i being a loyal customer, despite receiving various and attractive offers from different service providers i still stick to airtel, now despite bill payment my service has been stopped and are not being resumed. Its pathetic from your side by making me suffer as i'm not able to connect as my all office work got hampered because of your lazy service. You seem enjoying by making customer suffer. One of the customer care contacted asked to pay an amount of 1440 and service will be restored and offered a discount i paid the amount but now neither discount is being applied neither service are being restored. Now i'm of the opinion that i need to break this long relationship with you by switching to other network. [protected]

                          From last night i'm facing "emergency call only" issue on phone. The phone reads a sim, but shows no service. Your helpline number 12118 needs a sim to call, but even when i tried with another person's number it isn't responding to our requests when we enter the numbers as per instructions. Kindly do the needful as this is causing a lot of loss and problems...

                                  My location, kc gogoi path, dibrugarh, assam. I don't know why airtel shows problem in every 4 to 5 days in delivering a stable connection 4g network in the area. This happens every week. I would rather say without a doubt, you may provide a better fast network in cities and towns but your services are not as comparable with that of jio, we normal customers face problems in the mid times of the day, please resolve this problem at the earliest or else you r losing valuable customers for your services only.

Inspite of lodging complaint for error code b001 no action has been taken by airtel to solve my problem even if 4 days have already been passed. The airtel service has gone down and the attitude of customer care representatives are very disapointing. It is now time to opt for tata sky for better service. Thanks.
