There is no network in my mobile for over an hour. the network suddenly went off. I had an order placed with BlinkIt and i am sure the delivery person will not be able to reach me and my money wil be lost.
Unable to contact anybody not even the call centre.
Tried switching off the mobile and switching it back on. Taking out the sim, cleaning it and reinserting it.
But nothing is helping.

        I did a recharge of 1029 on Airtel about 3 - 4 days ago, in which I was to get Amazon Prime subscription as a benefit for 84 days but I did not get it and when I talked to Airtel customer care, they said that you will get the benefit till July 7 but I did not get it. Now when I called him again, he told me that I got this Apart from this, those people have also removed the subscription of Amazon Prime from the recharge of 1029

          I am writing to bring to your attention the ongoing network problems in our locality ( Koottanad 679533, Palakkad District, Kerala). Despite being assured of good coverage, we have been experiencing consistent issues with both voice calls and internet connectivity. The situation has persisted for the past few months, severely impacting our daily lives. When I discussed with my friends regarding this, they already ported sim to another network.

          I have made several attempts to resolve this issue:

          I contacted customer care multiple times.
          I visited the nearest Airtel center.
          I lodged complaints through the Airtel Thanks app.

          Another Airtel numbers also reported the same problem.

          However, the situation remains unresolved, and we continue to face disruptions in communication. As a loyal Airtel customer, I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this issue and improve the network quality in our area.

          I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and hope for a swift resolution.

          Thank you.

            My internet connection plan is of 40mbps which should give me a download and upload speed of atleast 5mbps according to knowledge provided to me by the AIRTEL call centre where I call the number being 121 from my landline number [protected]

            The complaint was made yesterday and the complaint number is [protected].

            The service engineer KRISHNA KUMAR PANDEY visited for the resolution of irregular AIRTEL internet speed issue but instead of solving the problem he was very argumentative and did not solve the issue. Also blantly said that this is the speed that vruon get and I can get the connection removed and OPT for other services providers. He left my home premises without the 4 digit happy code

            Thats a really pathetic unethical and unprofessional behavior of a company employee.

            A strict and swift action should be taken against such company employee and still my issue stands UNRESOLVED.

            Today upon calling AIRTEL customer care number 121 i havel been informed that the resolution can't be provided to me as the area that requires a wifi coverage is no as vast as my premises.

            This is another misconduct done by the engineer KRISHNA KUMAR PANDEY to make matters worse as I live in a society apartment which can not be and has not been extended since decades. The connection was active since years in my apartment and post visit of the engineer my area got bigger.

            Is there a worse reason to mention in the resolution?

                Subject: Complaint Regarding Unfulfilled Promise of 5G Unlimited Data
                Dear Sir/Madam,
                I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Airtel regarding the unfulfilled promise of providing 5G unlimited data. I recently ported my mobile number from Jio to Airtel based on the assurance provided by Airtel representatives that I would receive 5G unlimited data as part of my new plan.
                My details are as follows:
                - **Mobile Number:[protected]
                Despite repeated assurances during the porting process, I have not received the promised 5G unlimited data. This constitutes a breach of trust and misleading advertising on the part of Airtel. As a consumer, I am highly disappointed and inconvenienced by this unfulfilled promise, which was a key factor in my decision to switch from Jio to Airte
                I have contacted Airtel customer service multiple times regarding this issue, but there has been no satisfactory resolution. The customer service representatives have either provided vague responses or failed to resolve the matter altogether.
                I request immediate action to be taken to rectify this issue and fulfill the promise of 5G unlimited data as initially assured.
                Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
                Yours sincerely,
                Challa Ramesh

I currently subscribed to a plan that includes a complimentary Hotstar subscription. However, when I attempt to access Hotstar, it indicates that my subscription has expired. This is despite the fact that my Airtel plan, which explicitly includes the Hotstar subscription, is active and fully paid.

                              I am using an Airtel SIM with the mobile number [protected] which I obtained from airtel retailer more than 10 years ago by submitting my voter ID card. Two days before the SIM has stopped working for no apparent reason and showing No SIM in Mobile Phone. I contacted the local store for a duplicate SIM and provided my documents and Aadhaar details, but the verification failed, and they are saying that the name is mismatching.

                              Upon further inquiry, I discovered that the name registered with Airtel starts with 'D' and Last letter is "N" . This mistake has occurred on Airtel's side, leading to a loss of now 3 days of calls and messages. I am receiving no assistance from Airtel Store or Airtel customer care (198). Now Iam suffering because i am provided the same number to banks and other institutions, which is preventing me from performing any transactions. online now.

                              This fault is happened by Airtel itself and i am facing issues Please look into this matter and provide assistance.

                                My package has been changed without my permission. I had balance left in my account and the validity of the previous package was still left.
                                In the last 2 years the same thing happened to me and this year too.
                                It clearly indicates that airtel's employees have been cheating their customers.
                                I request you to please call me on [protected].

                                  Hi, I am staying abroad and my airtel sim is damaged and not working anymore, I don't have my immediate family members staying in India, but when my friends visits airtel showroom to apply for duplicate sim with my addhar and letter, they are not issuing. Is there anyway i can get duplicate sim ?

                                  If you are using Airtel Thanks App and the SIM is taken in your name itself, then you can submit a plan change as Prepaid to Post Paid or Vise versa. Then you will get a new SIM with same number. After getting new SIM and plan you should have to wait for three months to go back to old plan

                                    There is no internet at my home for 10 days and no action has been taken on it. Previously it was maintenance issue(starting 26-May) which was not resolved but ticker was closed. On 30th May, I made new complaint and I can trying to follow up on daily basis but no resolution is provided and every time I am being asked to wait 24hours for resolution but complaint is never looked into and no engineer has visited my placce. I did not expect such a bad service from Airtel.

                                    Kindly look into this complaint on priority and take action so I can use internet service promised by Airtel which Airtel is not able to fulfil.

                                    Maintenance issue ticket - [protected] - This was closed with no resolution.
                                    New Ticket number [protected]. - This is open but no solution even after daily 2 follow ups.
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                      Hi,

                                      I'm used the airtel fiber. Due to relocation i requested for the disconnection. But still no proper response form the Airtel customer service team.

                                      Also they promised to provide separate relationship team and call will be connected in 60 sec. But i tried from last 5 days no calls picked and not geting proper reply.

                                      They are continously sending same system generated mail with some procedure. but its not working in their application.

                                      they told to pay billed and unbilled amount also. Same i have paid. But still no reply from their team.

                                        I have recharged my pre paid number [protected] on 29th May for Rs.2900 which is acknowledged by their customer care. But still my calls were not going through. They repeatedly said your pack is expired and asked me to recharge. Out of desperation I have recharged again for Rs. 299 which is acknowledged. What happened to my recharge of Rs. 2900. Please help.
