    I live in pratap nagar, jaipur. Here the 4g speech of airtel is quite slow and disappointing. Few months ago the speed used to be ok but now i get an average of 10kbps, and i noticed on some websites claiming the average net speed in india to be 5mbps. It is only in the morning time near about 4am when the net speed touches 4mbps otherwise the whole day i get irritated with the net speed, so i came here to complaint. I get only 3 signal bars out of 5. It's quite disappointing to get 2g speeds when i have paid the price for 4g.
    There is a need to look after this matter urgently because this issue is nearly at everywhere!
    Hoping for a prompt response.

      My airtel mobile number suddenly stopped working, this was in continuous use. Even 5 minutes before it stopped working i had received sms. Please check and let me know what needs to be done.
      The number stopped working on 19th of december 2018 evening at around 6-7 pm.
      I was placing order in zomato, i got the first verification sms, but minutes after that when i tried to resend the verification code it was not getting delivered, this within a minute it stopped working. Please help in getting this resolved.
      Thanks

        I've ported my no. [protected] from jio to airtel and i've also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. Every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number, along with this there's poor network signals in our locality. I couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service. But i can able to call 121 & they not help me.
        My alternet no is-[protected]
        And my verification pin is - 95850

          Dear official,

          I have an airtel no:[protected].in that said mobile no a/c balance was rs.66.84/-. But an amount of rs.23 was debited from my account. When i called airtel customer care today just now, the had informed to maintain validity of the sim they had debited such amount without having clear guideline from trai.

          My concent is that whether a telecom company can debit any amount without confirmation of customer by giving mere sms alert that they will debit rs.23/- for non recharging of validity extension recharge amount?

          As per trai guideline no where it has been framed for such activity by a reputed telecom company.

          I could recharge as per my choice within 90 days after incoming call facility becomes stop.

          Requesting through your forum to reverse that debited amount by that said telecom company.

          Thanking you,

          Yours truly,

          Suman dutta

            Hello,

            I have a airtel broadband connection and recently shifted to another house in oct 2018. For the new house also - i continued with airtel since it was within same apartment community and they had feasibility. For the connection at new house, i was given a new number and i was told that this is normal.

            I have 6 months advanced billing cycle and previous billing cycle was june 2018. So next cycle should be in december 2018. But i got the bill in oct 2018 which is around 2 month in advance. When i asked this with customer care, i was told this was due to new number provided for shifted house. They also asked me to pay around rs. 4079 and was assured that airtel will adjust the rest of the money[protected]=1939) automatically. Call reference number is[protected]. So i paid rs. 4079 on 30 oct 2018.

            Now comes the twist, airtel can't (Or won't - do not know) resolve this issue for 2 months - till now (22 dec 2018) and still sending me reminder to pay the rest of the money as well. And the latest mail from them, is they will disconnect the broadband if i don't pay within 24 hours. This is not making any sense as irrespective of my follow-up with their customer care (, nodal officer and whomever i could find from internet to send the follow-up mails), no progress and permanent resolution for this issue; and this is not the customer care and support we would think to get.

            If anybody aware of any other support mail ids to escalate this issue further, please share.

            Regards,
            Sivakumar

              Dear team

              We are facing too much network issue in bial bangalore, have to try multiple times for a single call, background noise, call drop is there and 4g data is not working
              Since its from last 6 months, for this we made a complaint in airtel customer care more than 5 times, still issue persisting.

              Always we are hearing readymade answers like ibs is upgrading for future network, but i don't have faith in the company.

              Company is looting customer money please look into the issue.

                  I have been an airtel prepaid customer for many years but for 3 day i have not been able to make a single call or sms to any number except 121.
                  I have complained many times and many times the complaint according to airtel back office team gets resolved but in reality its the same situation
                  Then a customer care officer suggested sir wait 1 day but still same problem persists. I cant make aby outgoing calls or sms.. However my gprs connection plus incoming sms and calls are working fine..

                  My mobile no - [protected]

                  The customer care just does not know whats the problem and what could be the solution.. They hang up many times.. I have visited the airtel relationship centre also but there also no one know the solution to my problem. One of them did profile reset still nothing happened.
                  I want an action to be taken immediatly.

                          I had requested for my number ([protected]) to be transferred from vodafone to airtel. As per the text message i received, this was done and vodafone has already switched off their services but when i am trying to use the airtel sim, it just shows no service.
                          I have tried to change the network settings to manual & have tried to select airtel network 5-6 times but this has not worked.
                          This is the only number i have and all my business calls come on this number which means in a short while when my clients try to contact me they will not be able to do so.
                          When i have tried to email airtel i get an email advising that the email id is not validated and asks me to validate it. When i click on validate it says its going to send otp on my number which i should confirm. Now how in god's name can i see the otp when i am complaining about no service in the first place.
                          If this is the level of network and service on the very first day, i am seriously doubting myself and wondering if i made a mistake switching to airtel.

                                  Dear sir/madam,

                                  My self is nisha prajapati from ahmedabad, and using prepaid airtel number.

                                  My friend is mr sanjeev patel, from ahmedabad, is using prepaid airtel number.

                                  When we went to the airtel outlet for purchase airtel card that time they offered life time validity one time charges for start airtel facilities in our cell. Now they changed the policy and started rs.23 charges for every 28 days.

                                  Now from since last 3-4 days we are receiving following messages from airtel :

                                  "outgoing service on airtel stops tomorrow.in case of no recharge, rs.23 will deduct on 21-dec-18 from main bal for 28 day validity. Unltd./smart pack, dial *121*51#".

                                  Please clarify that why we have to recharge every month? (If we have bsnl land line and wifi facilities at our home).

                                  When airtel outlet people selling your card that time they give false commitment to the clients as well mislead to the customers.

                                  Kindly change your policy and don't mislead to the customers.

                                  One line reply should be highly appreciated.

                                  Thanks.
