Why am i getting messages that airtel will deduct my balance if i don't recharge, wherein i did a recharge for lifetime validity. Now suddenly you change the process and plans, and ask me to recharge the account, else you will stop the outgoing services.

It is so freaking hard to reach out to your customer service associate and after such a struggle, they disconnecte the call right on my face!!
Wow!!!
That's such a great way of dealing with the problems!!!
I need resolution for this!!!

          I had called up airtel customer care @ 198 to report for mobile sim loss. From there since my card was prepaid it was transferred to prepaid department, there a executive by name of vishal started enquiring about the card. After giving him relevant info about the card hes asking me what was the last recharge and where was it done from. The recharge amount was not significant at all and i countered him what sense did that info make about. The guy said rudely that it was needed without explaining it. On top of it when i asked him about his name he replies rudely saying ki ' pehle hi maine apna naam bataya tha ' as if asking his name again he was assaulted and he was obliging by repeating his name. Call was done between 4.30pm and 4.40pm.

          Need a call back for an apology from his side. One should know how to talk to customers

            Hi,
            I am satish rajani, having business of optical in dewas - madhypradesh.
            I have already 5 airtel fixed line and broadband connection. Now i applied for one more connection. After regular followup of 15 days, today dated 22/01/2019 i visited retailer office located on a. B road dewas (Where owner is mr dabi). He talked so rudely and said airtel will take time, you can take bsnl. Also he suggested disconnect all connection and shift to bsnl or jio.
            How any airtel person can say like this. Are airtel policy is not customer focused?

            My existing number, on named of my brother (Lalit rajani)

                I am not receiving any incoming calls & Outgoing calls from last few months and sometimes it suddenly starts working.

                But from the last 2 weeks it stopped all incoming call and have not received any call on my airtel number.

                I have tried to contact customer care but every time (I have called & informed my issue to them total 5 times now) they tell me the problem will resolve soon, but no action nor any return call I have received from customer care so far.

                My address is B/304 Chnadresh Abhishek, Lodha Complex, Mira Road East.

                Please resolve this issue ASAP.

                    While travelling abroad (Spain). I have taken the one day roaming packages at paid cost of 680 inr/day.
                    To my surprise, they have extended the package for next two days without my consent.

                    Airtel team is telling me that this is continuous roam package until i deactivate the same.
                    However the service should automatically stop as i have bought and done the payment for one day.

                      Dear sir,
                      I am a medical doctor and a subscriber if airtel digital tv. Customer number [protected]. I received the above quoted message from your esteemed organisation.

                      But when we tried with our service provider airtel digital tv, they have already designed some packages for us. Also with an option of ala carte.

                      First and foremost some brainless fellow has made these packages which have most of the channels not required by us and do not have channels we need.

                      Next their stupid ala carte is so confusing and misleading we need to put efforts to make a selection. More over it is not having many of the channels we are already watching.

                      In our experience airtel is the most fooling organisation which does not provides what it claims in their idiotic advertisements.
                      We had 3 airtel numbers in the family. We got relieved from their harassment after we moved to other service provider.

                      Pl help us to choose the channels we want as per your new provision for us. Pl teach lesson to such fooling service providers. First i am posting in consumer complaint forum so that millions be educated.
                      What is the next step i have to take. Pl guide.

                          I've ported my 2 vodafone no. in to airtel and I inserted mu new sim and tried to call on sim activation no 59059 but call is not connecting. every time i tried to call at 59059 it it says that no is incorrect or not valid and also I'm unable to receive incoming calls on my number. I couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service

                              I recharged my airtel prepaid number using airtel app on 10th of january. The amount was deducted from my bank account but i still haven’t got the refund from airtel. It has been more than 10 days since the failed transaction. It is nowhere reflected in my airtel account and transaction history in the app. On top of it the support system through the app is essentially non-existent.

                                    Hi,
                                    This almost 5 month now. Every month almost 10-12 days Airtel Broadband connection is going down in Mahadevpura area of Bangalore. Every time we call you customer case, get the message that, this is an unplanned outage and they give an ETA of resolving the issue. Then after sometime time of resolution get extended . Sometime ETA keep on extending 7 to 8 times or more than that, There is no permanent fix on this issue. Just to give an example, today is 21st Jan and with in 21 days in January, Connection is down for almost 12 days. Every time your customer care team team give a new ETA for resolving this issue and promise that it will be fixed permanently, however there is no single instance where Airtel promise and issue is resolved. As a whole society, we have taken connection from Airtel 2 years back thinking that service will be good. But it is becoming horrible and response from customer care is really frustrating. Its almost 5 month now, no management from Aitrel is understand customer problem and plannign for providing a permanent fix. We would like to know if Airtel is going to provide proper service to this area or we move to other service provider.We can't just keep paying to Airtel without any service.

                                    thanks

                                        Today my airtel sim got replaced at madhubani airtel store located at purnia bihar. I was charged rs 50/- without providing any money reciept. They told me that if i want to get sim replacement free of cost.. Then come in feb... Is this correct??

                                        Seems there is something fisy. Please look into this matter as smelling some corruption here by your official....
