Ever since i had the misfortune of recharging my data pack for my airtel number, i can no longer visit any site on the internet without getting redirected to one. Airtel.in. It has become something of a torture, for it has been close to 6-7 hours and it still keeps happening. Happens on both my phone and desktop browsers (Chrome, firefox and opera) when i use it through my phone's airtel data hotspot.

I have changed and reset my apn data, cleared browser cookies, restarted my mobile 10+ times, swapped sim slots. Nothing. No matter what url i type in my browser, it'll automatically change the url to one airtel.in
It is a big shame that airtel spams their customers with this site especially after a fresh recharge. What if i had an exam form to fill online? Would airtel be responsible if i could not fill up an application and passed the deadline just because airtel decided to redirect every single url to one. Airtel.in for more than 10 hours?

I know my pc or browsers are perfectly okay because my i can browse the net normally with my jio number as hotspot. The problem starts the moment i change my hotspot to airtel number in my dual sim smartphone.
I expect this to be resolved as soon as possible otherwise there's a storm coming your way.

      I have been getting flash pop ups (Class 0 message) on my airtel prepaid mobile since 1 month. My mobile no is [protected]

      This keeps coming all time. It disturbs the customer while taking call, checking sms messages etc. It is a serious privacy breach by airtel.

      I have never asked for this live popups from airtel then why airtel is forcing this on the customers?

      I have called airtel customer care number as well and tried everything they have suggested like sms stop anow to 58234. I have even notified for dnd on 1909. But pop-ups still did not stop. When i talk to customer service they behave badly and say thats all they can do.

          I got a call from [protected] this number. He was talking some nonsense thing. Too much vulgar. Kindly take necessary action. He was talking very roughly. He was threatening me. I don't know him. Who was he. Just take necessary action. Otherwise others also will face the same. It is so bad by harassing someone like this. So please give attention to this complaint.

            I have been using my mobile number [protected] for past 3 years plus. I recently was out of station for 7 months. When i inserted the sim it showed inactive, i came to know my number is allocated to some one else. My point is how come in this much short duration you can allocate my number to some one else? This number is update in all my bank accounts, demat, pan detail, aadhaar account. My privacy is at risk as all the sms (Verification code, otp, urn) still goes to this number and i am fully prone to fraud as well because of exposed information. How irresponsibly my 3 years old number was allocated to some one else. After this long service i did not expect airtel to act so irresponsible which put mt at very high risk. Kindly take this matter urgently and give me chance to re activate my number. Thanks & regards, gaurav modi

              I have the rs. 499, unlimited calls, 2gb data per day plan. The internet speeds that i get are very unstable. Mostly the speed that i get is 20 kbps, which too low to get anything done. Sometimes it does get decent speeds, but then it happens only a few times. I am never able to use my whole data for the day just because nothing loads, runs, or downloads on this airtel internet. Many a times i have had some important work stopped just because my phone's internet won't work.

              This issue has worsened over the last month or so, which is why i'm forced to write a complaint. Hope something will be done for this problem.

                      I got a call from airtel customer care on 14 the march 2019 regarding the activation of astrovani pack for which no charges will be deducted according to the customer care guy.
                      So i told him to activate the pack

                      But after 2 days i saw that my monthly rental pan has increased by rs 45. When i called customer care for this issue, they told that rs 45 has been deducted from my account but they didn't agree to refund the amount.

                      This is a clear case of fraud. The fraud amount is small but airtel does these kind of fraud in a large scale with their customers.
                      I want refund.

                        There is no airtel network in my locality kavuri hills which is in the heart of the city hyderabad. Mobile data is always only on edge. What is the point of giving updates on sooo many unused data being carried forward everymonth when i am unable to use it. There are already many in my colony who have migrated to some other network. Since i'm in corporate plan, i'm making a last try so that the company can rectify.

                        Pls address to the issue immediately

                            I was an idea prepaid user for the last few years, when the internet service of idea became worst i started noticing the advertisement of bharti airtel that they were claiming they are the india's fastest internet providers. So i wished to port out from idea and switched to airtel, but now i really realize that airtel is the worst internet service providers than anyone in india and for the proof here i am attaching the screenshots of speed test by ookla (The speed testing app recommended by airtel itself).

                            By advertising india's fastest network providers in india bharti airtel was really cheating me and i were trapped into airtels network for the next 3 months. And i can'nt even send a whatsapp message with airtel 4g internet.

                            I really wish to take actions against bharti airtel for cheating the indians.

                                  Few days ago we contacted airtel broadband for airtel-v fiber package
                                  We opted for 999 rs pack and give them advance 3 months rent which gives 40 mbps speed.
                                  According to airtel policy, wifi fiber should have been setup at max in 48 hours.
                                  Even after 72 hours they did not established connection.
                                  When we tried to contact them they said fiber connection could not be set up in my apartment and they could only set copper cable which gives 16 mbps speed, so we told them then we should get excess money which we gave you, they refrained and afterwards they are not picking up the call.
                                  I insist them to refund my all money as we don't want to avail their services.

                                      auto renewal of international roaming packs

                                      Recently i visited Dubai and activitated 1 day international roaming pack. Airtel has international roaming packages valid for specific periods : 1 day, 10, 30 days for various zones. A customer can activate a package for a zone and a period through the Airtel app and it takes effect within 2 hours. At the end of the period, the package does not expire automatically (as a customer would expect because the subscription is for a fixed duration)....

                                      Sir my phone was lost on 9/3/2019 which i reported in banna devi thana (aligarh) on 10/3/2019,
                                      After reporting, I went to khalsha telecom ALIGARH, an Authorized Distributor of Airtel to take a new SIM of my number.
                                      In the frist SIM, given to him by the first SIM, he gave the name of the father incorrectly in the Adhar card on 10/03/2019 wrong and side in the second sim that my photo was not clear.
                                      And the third SIM did not give any reason to not turn on and take me RS 300 three SIMs.
                                      AFter that I want to Maris road, aligarh, a register airtel store (coco airtel store) where i was given a new SIM and charge was taken from me rs 25.
                                      After that he gave me a sim on 12th, & 48 hours to ask for time to start, but that did not even turn SIM.
                                      So today and one SIM was turned on for my number but kept it with myself.
                                      And they refused to give me a written solution in writing and told me that we will not give any kind of information to you in writing.
                                      Through that SIM, I have whatsapp account & bank account and everything that can be removed from my job.
                                      All information about the phone and the SIM is given in the FIR copy of the report given by me which i send you an attachment.

                                      please request that you help me in this topic Thank you.
