Good! Airtel values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Airtel step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

Its been very sad to say that after been a loyal costumer for more then 15 year now airtel services has became so bad,
I have visited to airtel store on 10-04-19 and inform them that i have 3 no of airtel with one parent and 2 child connections after checking records they told me that it can be done but only when i wife visits to store as no was in her name, i was fine with it as its genuine request.
Now again on 12-04-19 i visited with my wife to store token no is b016 and mr vijay was there to handle us, i explaining them what i want now they informed me that they cant change all the numbers at one go it have to be done one by one, why airtel thinks we don't have anything to do and we have whole time in world to just keep running for this small things,
After hearing that i called 12118 costumer care to find solution, now they say that i first have to split all the no then only it can be done, if this was the solution then why the store representative informed me on 10 i could have done that on that day and on 12 all my no would have been converted to prepaid.
I requested both the places that my wife is moving out of town and cant come every time for this small work as store is far from my house, they did not listen to any thing and keep repeating like a robo.
I don't understand how these companies make us run for all these small things, its was such small request to finish all the work in one day in place of making me and my wife run for 3 -4 times.

Hello airtel, i am mobile postpaid user and i was charged rs 100 (April 2019) for delay in paying the fee. I was not intimated about the fee, the messages only said that please pay so that your services may uninterrupted or disconnected. This is completely not acceptable to charge an amount of rs 100 for a regular customer. I insist that you waive off this amount from my current bill. Your network is however slow and people are already tired of calls drops, no coverage and now with this kind of charges you are forcing your customers to choose am alternative. I request you to check into this matter as soon as possible.

I have advance rental pack validity of around 2 and half months in my account before activating the safe custody. But after 2 months when i have deactivated the same the validity of advance rental pack also lapsed. Then why the hell they should charge for the safe custody activation?

And we i check back with them for the same, they simply say that is what the safe custody terms.

Though the safe custody is activated, if the main pack will get lapse means why should they give option to the customer. They are literally looting the customer without their services.

Updated by Parmanand99 Yesterday[protected], had conversation with with one of the Customer Care Executive (Sandeep Jogale). He asked me to do a FRC of 76INR from a retailer, tried it, but no success. The recharge is processing and the cancelled.
So i went to Airtel Express Store (Mansa Chowk, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan). The concern person said that this shop is only for Postpaid Customer.
So again i tried and reach another CC Executive (Neha) explained everything then she transferred my call to her senior (Krishna) then he gaved me proper cause for the problem. Which was, i opt for MNP in Mumbai Circle and trying to do Tele Verification in Rajasthan Circle and this is the reason the was not getting activated. So i've to be in the same circle.
But still it has not solved my problem yet. As i need my only working number to be activated as soon as possible. I'am stuck at new place with mobile to call my Friends n Family.

So i decided to buy a new Sim today[protected]. The concern person here (Vikas) at Airtel Payments Bank who sell new Sim (Ganpati Mall, Bhiwadi, RJ) said, to give him an alternate number but not of any family member because it will get rejected, but of someone who lives in Bhiwadi. So as i'am new i know no one but still i gave him a number of man here to whom i meet daily here and knows me well. and its late evening and the sim has still not activated yet.

New Complaint:
1. The Concern at Airtel Express Store (Mansa Chowk, Bhiwadi, RJ) who denied his duty for only serving Postpay Users.
2. Two Recharges attempted by me on Airtel Website which got declined and the amount got deducted and no refund has been initiated yet. (Attached images show the latest screenshot of my bank's statement where you easily find deducted amount to airtel. Kindly notice the screenshot time in lower-right bottom as well as the date the recharge was made

I went to upgrade my sim to 4g as per the message i received to kanjurmarg airtel centre. The 2 staff sitting attended me and gave me new simcard for 25 rs with instructions that within 10 min it will start. I received sms from 121 for sinchan he.
After 1 hrs my services were stopped and when i put the new sim - no activation. I called customer service multiple times but they stated they never got such request and even the centre staff kept denying they ever met me or put such request. I communicated this matter to the air tel customer service who just kept giving me assurance without actual result.
I am being doctor feel offended as consumer.

Airtel is such type of worse network i have ever used in my life. There is no customer service. There is no network coverage, no solution for the customers complain regarding the dongle datacard issue.
Even after repeated follow ups and escalations to senior management team no body listens to the complain.

Higly not recommended to others.
Completely third class service and network. I am completely frustrated and irritated out of this airtel. Shame on u @airtel india.

Hope this could reach to the ceo india level.

Hello,

I am a decent customer of Airtel. I am using Airtel Post connection since July'18.

They sold me plan with name of 4G Internet. But from day 1, they failed to give me a proper speed. Some times, I can't send even a single text message through Internet.

Mostly I am in office or at my residence (like everyone). But at both places, I am facing issue. It's very irritating. I contacted to airtel customer care. Also, mailed them regarding this issue. Even airtel team also admitted that network problem is available at my place. Everytime whenever I contacted them, they just asking for more time. Waited for more than 3 months from my first complaint. But still no solution.

In their last mail, they asked time till 8th March 2019 to resolve my issue. But no solution.

I have their mail conversation and also have telephone recordings in which there representative admitted network problem issue.

Now, I want complete refund as I paid them for 4G service. And they failed to give.

Thank you in advance.

This is extremely bad service from airtel as always thats why lot of people moving away from airtel.

I called airtel more than 3 times to get my channels back but no luck. I am not getting any channels inspite of recharging for 1397 rupees on 23 mar 2019 for 6 month telugu pack. None of them solved the problem from airtel instead wasting my money by keeping me in call for more than 15 minutes every time.

My mobile number is [protected] and customer id [protected]-002

I recently ported my sim from t24 to airtel. My first recharge was for rs169. It's been a month since then and i'm unable to recharge to any plan.
I tried via the internet and also at shops. None of them worked.
I called the customer service too and they didn't help resolve the issue at all.

I want to recharge to rs 23 and i'm unable to do so. I'm now getting sms' saying that all incoming and outgoing calls have been banned.
I want to recharge but airtel isn't allowing it.
Please, help me resolve the issue.

Dears in my home digital tv (Dth) is not working for last one week. I have raised complaint with airtel.

None of their support executives are answering properly. Currently i am out of india.
My wife is trying to reach their support executives and none of them answering properly and they are not even giving respect to women. While talking in phone itself they are very rude and they are rejecting the call.

She would have called more than 20 times in last two days. Still now the problem is not resolved and no one is taking responsibility. I dont know when it will get resolved and what to do.

Whats the action they are going to take now on your executives. Seriously fed up with airtel support.
