      I have port my airtel sim ([protected]) from mumbai to maharastra on date 21jan 2019, now old sim is dectivated and i have inserted new sim and validation is also done for new sim, but sim is not started after 5 hrs and during varification cumtomer care told me it will activiated within 30 min and after 5 hr i have called customer care but they told me your sim will activate after 24 hr we cannot resolve your issue from here and we can not do anything for now, i am totally helpless because of your bad service. There is no help from customer and store also closed because of sunday.
      I dont understand why airtel deactivate my sim on sunday if they can not support on sunday, it is very unathic behaviour from airtel side.

          Network is so unstable. When I am talking in call, or watching a video or playing an online game, it suddenly stops or disconnects because of your ### network. And it is not just my sim or phone, ny dadand aunt use Airtel too, same thing happens with them. Network is bad in our area, please fix it. I have complained before but no action has been taken. Airtel promises stable 4g network everywhere but in reality condition is so poor. Not only in our area, I have seen dissatisfied Airtel customers from all over India. This is misleading and possibly illegal. Shame coming from such a renowned company.

              After i designed my own dth pack with trai's web site and when i tried to make the same pack with airtel web site, it was found that the bouquet of sony happy india sports+english hd 50 was missing from their selection list. Instead, they have provided sd version. The same pack is available in trai website, sony site as well as other dth provider. By listing sony happy india english hd and sony happy india sports hd separately, they force us to pay rs.20+ more. Sony happy india soprts + english hd is the better value pack.

                Hi-Yesterday I got my airtel digital TV (HD) recharged with 700. But channels are not coming I am getting an error code 6 with message your account is suspended due to low balance, everytime it is telling me to recharge. I have already contacted customer care for 4 times since yesterday, everytime I have to wait more than 15 mins to get connected and they are always assuring me that they have refreshed and it will come in 30 min. Already it’s more than 24 hours and the issue is still not resolved. I am irritated and frustrated with such a poor service as a took connection. I suggest airtel guys to do something about there digital tv and services because I as a customer can’t take this kind of service when you are taking money from me in return. Avinandan Ghosh

                  Dear sir
                  I am facing big issue of network from last 7 years in my home. I stopped using airtel between that but recently my company number [protected] was ported in airtel l thought problem will be solved but it never happens.
                  I complained in airtel and after that their technical person came in my home he says that we are getting 2g speed in my home. He also agreed with our problem and told all about to airtel. But still i have never found any resolution from their team.
                  Monday to friday i don't have problem because in that time i work in my office and there is no network issue but on saturday and sunday it is very difficult me to download any image video or browse any link when i am at my home.
                  I request you to tell airtel about this and give proper solution and also i am demanding of compensation because they are not maharashtras fastest network as they says when we start conversation with them.

                  Regards

                        Pathetic response from airtel dth in implementation of new plans submitted to them well in advanced.

                        Even to the regular and old customer of almost 10 years or so. No wonder if they loose their market share if continued in this fashion for long.

                        They are insisting their plans over customers selected plans and not confirming selected plans even after deadlines is passed. They insist on recharges without letting customer know his selected plan and monthly outgo.

                        This is openly non compliance of trai's guidelines and rude behaviour towards customer complaints.

                        I urge trai to intervene and take stern action against airtel dth service provider at the earliest.

                        The complaint is not resolved so far...How it can be marked as resolved. None has asked or given any solution to the complaint.
                        It is surprising to note that complaint are marked as "Resolved" without taking any action. Pathetic state of affairs...
                        Disgusting.

                          I have already selected my package before 31 jan, 2019 and still my pack is not activated, even my channels are also not available not a single channel is working. They disconnected my services since 2nd feb 2019 around 10 am.
                          At first they said i have not enough balance and once you have balance then within 2 hours your package will switch but it was not activated and since then i called 6-7 times but they only give me time.
                          When i request them for disconnection of my service they told me that they will not give me refund all my amount will be dissolved.
                          I don't understand what should i do in this case.
                          My registered a complain here is my complain number 85646465.

                            I have been complaining o[censored]nable to use data on airtel frequently. It has been so many months now. But they deny to fix the problem. They are not even ready to understand. I hv spoken to one of the supervisor but he said "6gb data use karna mazak nahi hai". So are they doing us a favor? It is quite frustrating to explain them on the email as well. I hv recorded the video pls chk the attachment. It is a mental harassment
