    I raised an online request to check airtel broadband feasibility in my area. I got a call from airtel, saying 300 mbps fiber is feasible in the area. I asked her to send a technician to my place to confirm connectivity. She assured connection is feasible and said engineer will be sent only after i make the payment. I made the payment on 18th march 2019. Received a call from some airtel guy today 20th march 2019 asking my address. When i shared the address, he immediately said there is no connection in that area. Now this is pure cheating. I tried contacting the person who processed my request, no response. Can someone help me with refund process? I paid advance of rs.6012 for opting 6 months plan.

      Hello customer care / nodal officer,

      I don't know even nodal officer is taking care of customer or not or may be now they are not more
      Interested to add customer to airtel circle. I think even they have not a curtesy to provide answer to
      My email.

      As said in previous email. I got a call and i have been told that installation will take 6-9 working
      Days. This should be checked before taking payment from me. At that time you guys are promising 24
      Hours installation why fake promises. Now i have taken some other vendor's connection. Please close my
      Connection request return my payment.

      My caf no is :7935871 attached image with mail. Kindly treat thi as serious mail else i need to
      Complaint against you. I want my money back nothing else.

      Thanks

      Hi,

      Caf no : 7935871. Payment done on 12 march 2019 promised installation on 13 march 2019. If not possible
      Then why he promised the 13 march 2019 still no body is answering. Am i fool that paid money on the spot?

      Recently i have applied for broadband connection and also paid online. Still no body came for an
      Installation. Person who was my spoke not picking up phone (Bharat - [protected], [protected]).

      I am sure i am not going to continue with airtel and also will let my colleague know that what you are
      Doing.

      Let me know how to cancel i don't want connection. If initial stage you are doing this then afterward if
      Any issue occurs then i need to call you up all the time.

      Thanks

        I have been complaining airtel for over 6 months about the network issue and call drops. I was suggested to change the sim. Once the sim was changed the problem was even worse, it’s been more than 15 days, 4g services are not working, outgoing sms is not working. I have been calling airtel and escalating the concern till appellate authority and i don’t get any resolution. I have been calling them like atleast 5 times in day and wait time for a floor manager to pick up is 60 mins.

                    I recharged my mother's phone for ₹169 on feb 22, 2019. The transaction failed and i got a "funds will be refunded to your bank account" message. Customer care sayid i should get the money back in 7-10 working days, but it has been 15 working days now.

                    Could you escalate this issue and get my money refunded?

                        Hi,

                        I was trying to port my number from airtel as the network and services were not satisfactory. I sent the message for porting the number. After 5 minutes i received a call from airtel and they continuously for more than 10 times. When i picked the call they asked me the reason for porting the number. After hearing my problems they asked me to pay the bill and they took the request by themselves converting my postpaid to prepaid and they said they converted it. And when tried to recharge it was continuously failing. I contacted back and they response was not satisfactory. They are extending the time but no solution. Now i use my phone to make very important calls and airtel doesn't seem care about it. I request you to take an action as they barely respond without a solution.
                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                        NDS circle not found in this number... What does that mean???

                        When I'm trying to recharge by airtel app, during payment suddenly this message come to my screen. Resolve the problem.

                            Had requested for porting of my 2 (Nos) exisitng moblie service to airtel services. Of which one primary number got ported as per the plan however, the 2nd got delayed.
                            On 25th feb 2019 recevied call from ms priya holding mobile no. [protected], asking to resubmit my kyc (Aadhar card & pan) and photo and had informed my plan details as rs.249 monthly rental with 30 gb data. Had also instructed me that during televerification the executive will confirm the plan details as rs 249 retal and 5 gb data however, i should agree on same and she will further mail to concern authority requesting upgradation to which i agreed.
                            I resubmitted all my required document and my airtel services started by 5th mar 2018 however, while checking the plan details it showed rs. 249 rental with 5 gb data.
                            I informed her the same day to which she reverted on whatsapp (Did not pick my call) that she will call me tomorrow.
                            And till today am continiuously following up with no revert. Whatsapp messages are read however, no curtosy to revert.
                            Request you to pls accept my complaint against the service provider (Airtel) for this mis selling.

                            Why is my ncf charges 222 instead of 136?
                            Its too much.
                            Why is trai advertising that its cheaper than before.
                            This government is looting people giving big lollipops

                              Hi,

                              Service to toll free numbers are very unreliable

                              - sometimes it connects and some it doesnt connect
                              - even when connected, it takes a long time to connect
                              - vocal quality drops on these toll free number
                              - when my toll free number asks for identification number, the digits i enter are not delivered to voip system and the system keeps asking for identification number, when i speak that identification number, other system couldn't repeat exact same number i spoke. It should be due to poor quality of airtel connecting to toll free numbers.

                                I don’t know why i am writing review even. But airtel pull me down everytime. I have a postpaid connection of airtel since 2008. I am happy customer of airtel network. But today’s life is not run on 2g connections.
                                I have been a very loyal customer of airtel since - i don’t remember when. Everyone in my family is also having airtel. Like i have given a complaint 10times before but i didn’t get any response from airtel. Right time to port all number.. Worst # airtel..

                                  I want to port my airtel sim. But i am not getting the upc code from 1901. I have already sent 10 port msgs to 1900 and each time balance is getting deducted also. Also talked with customer care. But they are not resolving it.

                                  Went to airtel customer care office. They also did not resolve it. They are giving so many excuses for this but not getting it resolved.

                                    After the trai regulations i chose my channels which are around 52 and the ncf should be 130 but airtel keeps on adding 'invisible' channels and the total channels rose to 155. I'm suffering this for more than a month and i've been calling the support but no help is done. They keep on making excuses and now i'm done and want to sue airtel for this. I want to file a case against airtel digital tv. I will be greatful if you can help me out. Thank you.

She lives alone in kokrajhar and the network on that area is superb! But still nobody can call to my aunt's number it says the same thing! But when she calls it reaches us smoothly. My aunt is an old women and she has no idea about all those things. From past 2 months the problem is persisting and i m tensed. I cannot leave from tura also as i have 24x7 hours duty here.
                                      My aunt's number is - [protected].
                                      So please take necessary action as soon as possible.😟😩🙇😔😔😔😔
