          I have called customer care multiple times, i have atleast called not less than 20 times, hardly i could talk to the airtel personnel for 4 times. All those successful connections are in vain, they never helped me with the additional ncf added to my plan and they put me on hold for 5 to 10 minutes and then disconnect the call without notice. Today i called 2 times and they disconnected my call by saying that they are checking internally and will transfer the call to their lead. It was very frustrating long waits and they disconnected the calls just like that, very pathetic service from airtel. Really a shame we are still relying on them. My call back requests hardly work, they never do a call back. I want airtel to call me and fix my issues asap

            I have recharged subject prepaid phone using your site

            Airtel.in
            On 22nd dec 2018 at 06.59 pm
            For the amount of 399
            Using my hdfc bank credit card

            Bank confirmed deduction claiming that money credited to airtel3appre and debited to my account but till date neither i have received balance nor refund despite of many calls to your 198 number.

            Even i got reference number by sms from airtel[protected]

            Issue is pending for more then 26 days your team at 198 is ab[censored]ely time waste. Please look in to the matter and arrange the refund at the earliest..

            Hope to receive refund at the earliest.
            Thanks

              I recharged for 12 months (99 * 112 = 1188 rs) and i got lifetime validity upto 2032.
              But for last few months airtel has stopping my incoming service due to zero balance and it showing validity dare feb 10, 2019 and forcing me to recharge airtel of rs 38 or etc..
              So kindly solve this issue.

                    We are living in sasan gir haripur area gujarat but we are not receiving any network signal of airtel since last three days, as i am a airtel user for last 16 years but i never ever faced this kind of problems before, now i am unable to do my netbanking as my bank account is registered with airtel.
                    My no is [protected] is registered number in bihar jharkhand circle.
                    Now i am feeling cheated as i am not able to contact my any relatives so i am thinking now to stop using airtel as it is becoming bad network service provider. If you can do something urgently than we will leave this approach towards airtel,
                    My alternate no is [protected] to contact me to discuss this problem.

                    Regards,

                      Sir, i make my new dth pack on 10feb19 and sent message to airtel dth. I received a confirmation message but till now my new pack is not activated. Whenever i asked for this from airtel customer care they didn't give me any reasonable answer and asked me to wait your pack will be changed. Till now my pack is not changed.

                      Now they are not picking up my phone from my registered mobile number. Please do somethig for this.

                        Dear sir/madam,

                        I have purchased airtel sim ([protected]) from lunger house, hyderabad, telangana 5 years ago. 1 year ago i moved to my home town ratanpur, dist. Bilaspur, chhattisgarh.
                        I am continuously getting message that i need to upgrade my sim to 4g sim.
                        I went to many of the nearest airtel retailers but they are saying they will not upgrade because sim belongs to telangana state. Finally i have contacted to airtel customer care and they suggested me to buy new airtel blank sim (For swap 3g to 4g) and i need to sms sim to 121 and it will be done and i confirmed that i can buy sim from any state and upgrade. I bought new blank sim (Sim no.[protected]u) from bilaspur (C. G.) and tried the same but it shows incorrect sim number. I can't visit airtel store again and again. If there is any resolution then please let me know.

                        Thanks and regards

                              Hi,

                              Greetings from Sheshadri G,

                              I am a airtel dth user from past 6 years.

                              I have been trying to contact your Airtel DTH customer care via phone call at[protected] since 2 months but call is not connecting. Also i had drafted a mail requesting to know what are NCF charges imposed when i tried to select my own package from the given link.

                              As i know NCF charges are the charges which is cost on free 100 channels provided. But i have requested them to explain and provide me the list of those 100 channels. But there is no response to my mail. Because i would like to know which are those 100 chaneels and what if i have selected the same channels when i have selected my own package.

                              This not expected from airtel dth for a customer.

                              I do have told them on mail that, if i didn't get proper response i will change to TATA SKY network, but still no response.

                              Please do some justice for this.

                              In the subject line i have mentioned my reference number as well.

                              For further clarification please feel free to contact me at +91-[protected] | mail me at [protected]@gmail.com

                              Thanks & Regards,
                              Sheshadri G

                                  I have always been told good things about airtel’s broadband services, but, to my dismay, it was told to me by the airtel executive that their services are not available in my area without any sort of inspection. He did not even inspect or come to my address and told me since it’s a government quarter the services are not available. There are several brands with broadband connection in my area then why is only airtel having a problem in installation? Poor customer service.

                                        I am a physically handicapped senior citizen. I cannot go out as I cannot walk without support. I live with my wife who is paralysed on the left side. I use a Net setter and Airtel SIM for the internet on my PC.I am a writer and astrologer. I need internet connection to pay bills online and recharge my SIMs, I need internet connection to email my writings and make horoscopes and read various articles on astrology, science and health, and news. I need internet connection to email my my answers to clients' questions. But frequently the internet refuses to connect, no matter how hard I try. Then all my plans or works stop.
