Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
I am facing the same issue. Unable to receive any OTPs starting from June 1st 2022 and I am emailing the Airtel customer support and have no logical or valid response other than empathy. I am tired of their empathy emails and no fix and its June 16th 2022.

Any body faced the similar issue and have a fix, please let me know the solution.

Thanks Much!

    For the past few months, I am unable to receive messages on time. I even receive the otps after half an hour, which is of no use. Many a times I don't receive the calls. Exasperated by your service, I am considering to switch to some other network now. Your network is just a money maker and zero service!

        As per trai directive, i have selected channels as per my need at total cost of 452/ per month + 33 for recording facility.

        I topped up my balance by rs.325 on 20th march 2019 so that my selected package at rs.452/- month continues for one more month.

        Now i got message that my subscription of dth at rs.699/- per month will eexpire on 10th april 2019.

        I was surprised to know that my package of rs.452/- per month was revised to 699 per month after 20th march 2019. I did not revise my subscription or not change my package.

        Airtel customer care / airtel dth bharuch are unable to attend to my complain due to non-working of their system.

            Address: Thane, Maharashtra

            Sir, i am customer of airtel dth tv since last 15 yrs. When i search all channels list (Fta & paid) in trai website, i saw in trai website fta total channels are 550 and total paid channels are 327. But airtel shows limited channels list on my tv channels no.998. Airtel shows their channels list on channel no.998 a-la-cart are as follows - total fta channels - 284. So my question is that if trai shows fta channels-550 & paid channels - 327, then why airtel not showing all fta channels - 550 and paid channels - 327. Please provide all channels list as per trai guidelines. Secondly where to submit channels list to select my own pack. Is there any channel form list available in airtel gallery. Please inform on my whatsapp number [protected] if possible. - thanks

            I have 4G sim but its Internet speed is even les than 3G type of sims. Worst experience of having Internet of Airtel Company.

                  I have a device mia2, which was recognizing my airtel sim till the afternoon of 3/4/19, but when i checked it in the evening, i get that the sim is not recognized, even though the sim works on other phones. I attempted to reset my network settings and clear my cache but to no avail. It is not a problem with my mobile as any other two sims work fine, and both the slots are having the same problem.

                    I tried to recharge with 597 plan from Google pay. So transaction failed twice. So tried to recharge again in paytm and Recharge successful. Surprisingly one Google pay transaction is successful after some time and Recharge Happened twice. I want refund of 597 or stack up the same plan after expiry of first one. Airtel customer service is helpless. Being cheated and looted by network.

                      Address: 67/3, 12th cross Lakshmipuram Indiranagar, 560038

                      I had raised a request to reinstall my DTH connection on 2nd of April 2019 for which the customer care executive had committed for the technician to come on 3rd of April 2019. I had got a call from some Airtel service team from [protected] saying that the technician named Anil Kumar will be coming for reinstallation by 12pm and asked me to be available for which i had taken a day leave from my work, i called the same number around 12:30pm and asked for the exact time tat the technician is about to come so she said he will come before 3pm. I called customer care again around 3:30pm and the team leader name Yamini committed to send the technician in an hour failing i called again and spoke to an other team leader named Shivu and the person told me the maximum time to close the issue is 3rd april. I had been waiting for the whole day and again called the CC and some other person is saying it will be resolved on 4th april.

                      When Airtel being indias no1 service network cant give proper and on time service then why do you committ.

                      I had wasted a whole day waiting for the technician, lost a day salary.

                      After so many repeated calls the company says "SORRY". Will you people accept the same sorry from us if we dont pay the technician.

                      This is being the 3rd time iam being fooled with a false committment. I have really no idea to whom this mail is reaching, if you as a big brand have really some dignity or self respect then tell me what should i say for losing a day salary for your mistake, sorry cannot be a solution for mistakes done in turn of our money.

                          Dear sir/ Madam, I have an airtel digital TV connection, last month only i have recharged it after ideal. So for that ideal they took some amount from my last recharge and they reduced the days for that month and said that connection will be disconnected by 2 April, so I have made a payment of 1249/- on 1 April and activated for 6months. But without any intimation they disconnected the connection before 2 April itself. I made complaint regarding to airtel customer care but till now no solution from them. I made several calls to them but they still asking time. For past 2days DTH connection is in ideal, for this they simply saying they will add 2days extra, but am not accepting it because that much mental stress i have faced . They are trying to cheat the consumers just like this by saying some reasons and collecting the amount but not providing the service. They are not at responding for any of the consumer complaints instead they are telling some time.

                            Dear sir/ Madam, I have an airtel digital TV connection, last month only i have recharged it after ideal. So for that ideal they took some amount from my last recharge and they reduced the days for that month and said that connection will be disconnected by 2 April, so I have made a payment of 1249/- on 1 April and activated for 6months. But without any intimation they disconnected the connection before 2 April itself. I made complaint regarding to airtel customer care but till now no solution from them. I made several calls to them but they still asking time. For past 2days DTH connection is in ideal, for this they simply saying they will add 2days extra, but am not accepting it because that much mental stress i have faced . They are trying to cheat the consumers just like this by saying some reasons and collecting the amount but not providing the service. They are not at responding for any of the consumer complaints instead they are telling some time.

Data connectivity very poor. Phone restart, handset replace and other possible corrections done but problem persist. *12118# dialled but not useful.

                                Sir I did a recharge in my JIO no [protected] on 26 March at 10:31 hrs. I used Phone pay application for the recharge. I filled company name Airtel by mistake, instead of JIO. My transaction was successful. I had done the portability for the same mob no from Airtel to JIO around 8 months back. Sir, Airtel has accepted that they have received tha amount and this mobile no belongs to Airtel prepaid. Now as on 03 April 2019 I got an email from Airtel that they have deactivated my Mobile no from airtel. But sir due to Airtel mistake I had incurred a loss of rs 399 which they are agree to refund back to my account no [protected](SBI) from which i did the payment using phone pay upi address [protected]@upi. my complaint no in Airtel is [protected].

                                  I use two no's of airtel 4g cards one in iphone other one in latest android mobile. Last 15 days the data speed is dead slow especially after 6pm super dead slow.in 500 mtr radius there is one airtel network tower from my location.
                                  I have tried to raise a complaint through 198, but result was futile.
                                  More than that it is harassment to get connected to costumer care executive.

                                  Started thinking of porting to other carrier if this problem persists for another week.

                                  Expecting some solution regarding this matter.

                                        So, in been using for quite a while now. Recently in the past 3 months the airtel network has gone from bad to worst, there is no connectivity, data to load it takes 5 minutes, youtube to play it takes 10 minutes. The worst experience im having is with calls, when i call the call wont connect at all, if it gets connected somehow in the next 5-10 minutes the call will be cut an it notifies 'call failure', so i call again then in another 5 minutes there is the call failure. Iv contact airtel support and no action has been taken. Its honestly pathetic.
                                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                        I want to know the call details(incoming and outgoing) of the Airtel Number: [[protected]]
                                        on dates of[[protected]] to[[protected]] plz kindly send details to [protected]@gmail.com...
                                        Sir there are many places of india there is not 3g/4g networks. so I am requesting you to solve as quick as possible.
