Am really disappointed to write this mail to you because despite atleast 30 to 40 attempt i am unable to get channel number #330 i. E sahara samay and recently has been added in airtel dth as free channel.
I get error code 4 but whenever i call customer care for same they say no such channel is available on airtel dth. But the fact is that, this channel is verymuch available on airtel. Why should not i make a complaint against you people at trai for befooling your customer by taking bribe from other channels for not showing & providing rest free channels easily. When a customer will try 3 to 4 times and the channel will not be activated then definitely he will leave attempting to get access of such channels. Tell me why should not i may drag you to the court and file criminal case against you people for cheating your broadcaster and customer as well by not showing a channel which is free to air (& you have charged the channel for it) and also your customer by not providing access to such channels which he wish to see.
My customer id is - [protected]
My complaint number is - [protected]

I need a response by tomorrow 12:00 pm else i will surely lodge a criminal complaint against airtel dth

              They have assured me that temporary sim will be active within 3 hours and after 4 working days i. E. 22/02/2019 mnp sim will be active but till date no sim is active and my work is suffering and staff of your gallery are unable to provide ay suitable response.

                I’m using airtel network from since 2 years. 20days back i changed my plan from 499 to 299. From that day onwards my calls getting dropped in the middle, sometimes call are not even connecting and am not able to use my internet. From that day i called to customer care many times and visited nearest airtel store mutliple times and did whatever they asked me to but i didn’t get any solution as of now. They are not even responding properly. Their response is like “we’ll try to fix your problem.. If you port to another provier also we don’t care”.. Am getting this kind if response from airtel.. Worst service from airtel network.

                  Still problem is same, I don't understand why this is happening. In today's fast world, no service for 3 days and no resolution for it. I hope it's a same brand 'AIRTEL'. They claim that they are the number one service provider in INDIA. I have now doubt on their leadership. "AIRTEL" or "AIRTEL GO TO HELL"

                    I chosen channels as per trai regulations & amount is rs.200.41. I recharged for rs 201, but they suspended my ac & stopped all channels. They wanted to recharge old rental 237.& deducted some amount from my recharged amount (No. [protected]). Now the ac is suspended when i contacted them, they least bothered to resolve issue. How can they deduct from my paid amount since old plans were "prepaid" pl instruct them to restore my connection asap as per my opted plan & to fix the next due date as and when it is restored. If by their mistake, any negative amount is reflected in my ac, pl instruct to waive off and restore the connection with my choice

                        Hi team,

                        I'm extremely unhappy with the services being provided by airtel dth. All through india, trai have been advertising that the new plan will come into effect since 01-feb-2019. Even then the services are not working properly and airtel iz deducting money from the account as well. I have never seen such an incompetent, incorrigible and too lazy organization to say.

                        I changed my plan on 02-feb-2019, but due to airtel's inefficient system it didn't came into effect. When contacted their super busy customer care, i was told they are having india-wide technical issue and i had to wait.

                        Then again i contacted airtel on 03-feb-2109 and had to tell them again all the channels i need to see, then only the plan was activated.
                        When i browsed through the plan and the channels being shown, i found lot of missing channels which should have been activated but were not coming.

                        So i again updated the plan (Reference id[protected] on 04-feb-2019. After that everything stopped on tv. Moreover, when i activated my plan, the charges were around rs 715/- pm, but now it is being shown as around rs 2500/- pm. I contacted their customer care on 05-feb-2109 and was told same old story that the airtel is having technical issue and all services will be restored by afternoon of 06-feb-2019. I also flagged the issue that during activation the plan was rs 715/- but now it is being shown as around rs 2500/- pm. I was reassured that the plan amount too will be restored.

                        The channels started coming but the plan was never updated and airtel continued to deduct as per 2500 plan.

                        Because of this faulty deduction the balance was exhausted and the services were suspended. I had to recharge thrice to activate the services and called to change the plan but nothing happened.

                        I have been emailing them many times and upon their suggestion i selected another plan with reference number[protected] having monthly charges of approx 750. The channel started coming but the plan was never updated and airtel continued to deduct as per 2500 plan.

                        If this email does find some competent authority, request you to please resolve following issue,
                        1. Activate the plan i had selected with reference id[protected].
                        2. Since 02-feb-2019 they have been deducting money from my account with no or faulty services being delivered. Kindly revert the charges, whatsoever you have deducted till now.

                        Regards,
                        Mohit kumar

                          Airtel received my and my wife id proofs when i ported my ph no to airtel. I retained mine and my wife's mobile nos. Though i submitted mine and my wife id proofs and told them clearly which one is my no and which one is hers they registered with the nos in my wife's name. Now they aren't ready to accept the mistake and change my mobile no to my name. This is rediculous. How can they make such a big mistake?. This isn't just mistake it's crime. How can they assign my no to other person even with all that fancy technologies of aadhar card authentication and finger print scanners?

                              Two months ago, i called airtel's broadband branch in indira nagar, bangalore to inquire about their broadband service. Ever since that day, i receive one or more calls every day asking me to install airtel broadband service. It's extremely annoying and unethical.

                              I want to stop receiving these annoying phone calls as soon as possible.

                              Thank you.

                                recharge done but plan not activated

                                Address: Thane, Maharashtra, 421301

                                I had done a recharge of rs 597 for airtel prepaid number using airtel app and made the payment using amazon pay, although the amount was deducted from my account but the plan is still not activated. I have received payment confirmation mail from amazon but when i contacted airtel customer care, they mentioned that no transaction was done from the app. Airtel customer care is just making me run from pillar to post without providing any resolution....

                                      I am experiencing the worst signal problem with a network claiming they provide the best coverage through their adds.. I have complained about it several number of times, even talked with the customer care but no improvement... I am fed up with them now.. They react very well as if they are looking into it but everything seems to be a good 'act'... Now a days even i try to complaint they would come with the answer the system is down.. I wonder why their tower not capable to cover the area of my home. My home address is given below near kumbha circle, bhilwara, 311001. The problem of network is not only to my particular home but it covers near the whole area near my home.
                                      The adress of network problem is azad nagar, near kumbha circle, bhilwara, raj, 311001
