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.

              Even after putting consumer complaints there is no update and no action has been taken care. Idiotic service provider.

                Ported sim from vodafone to airtel. After 7 days i received message saying your airtel sim is active and activate it using 59059. But when try to call on this number it says invalid number. Not avle to understand why this is happening. This is not what i expected from aritel after switching to airtel. Never faced such issue while porting operator. Not even able to contact customer care.

                  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.

                            Kindly review the attached copies .Secondly I visited the nearby branch office(airtel perambur branch near venus) .No response for my issue.They informed me to email again to the office, instead of solving my problem.
                            I had changed my Network.
                            Thanks

                                I had paid broadband installation fee of 1500, technician told me connection installation is not feasible. I have been trying to get a refund since. Very pathetic customer service and the customer care.
                                Caf: 80234348

                                I have been trying to reach out but nobody is helping with the refund. They just keep passing the ball to one another. Also the technician is not responding now.

                                    Why is it that right after i recharge my data pack and try to browse i start getting redirected into this site one. Airtel.in
                                    I've been trying to fill up college forms and i can't because this horrible redirection loop isn't letting me enter the sites i want to enter in. What's wrong with this company!!! You punish customers because they are paying you to update their data packs??? This is so messed up. This one. Airtel.in is a spam website and i want it blocked however that might be possible. I want this fixed. Worse is the fact that all the time i've had to spend trying to get passed this annoying-as-hell redirection loop, the net balance of my phone keeps getting deducted from. I had to pay for this net balance and now it is going to waste because the company that i payed is playing evil tricks. Tell me this, are you going to compensate for this loss of data caused because of your so disgusting and ugly games? I want this problem fixed. Asap. I want this site blocked. And i never want to be redirected here again.
