Good! Airtel values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Airtel step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

I am having prepaid mobile no. of Airtel and Trying to contact to customer service through email and calls to get last transaction receipt/bill done through google pay.
Continuously receiving the reply from customer service that it is not a registered mail ID whereas same is the registered one. They are providing some link. But it is also having some technical issue. After replying all these things no. Of times also, they are not taking efforts to call the customer & solve the issue.

On phone call also, they are saying that they dont have access to this and that and and you can not get the receipt. We cannot confirm mail id also and you have to visit nearby centre, etc. For such a small issue. Please call back and resolve the issue.

I have submitted the documents to airtel office-angul-odisha for changing the cug (Corporate plan) to personal on 27.11.2018. But airtel staff at angul is delaying the issue of sim card saying the sim cards not available. It seems the airtel management is intentionally delaying as the airtel bill of cug is getting higher than normal prepaid services.

Dear sir / madam,

I'm prepaid customer of airtel. My number is [protected]. Now airtel has sent me an sms stating that to restart your incoming and outgoing data and voice services on your airtel mobile, recharge with unlimited or smart pack. The life time validity amount has been paid to airtel during sim purchase. But they are stating that every month you need to recharge.

Since airtel is facing heavy loss, they want to recover their losses by changing the schemes and gaining from each and every customer.

Kindly need your intervention in this.
Waiting your reply asap.

You are literally asking ransom to keep your subscribers using their own number. Your so called Smart Recharge of Rs.23 doesn't give anything but a extension of validity for a month which is unfair.

I had applied for airtel broadband connection through my office as a corporate customer. The airtel guys took alteast one month to receive my application from my office. After that inspite of repeated calls and reminders to airtel representatives, mr santosh pastapure and mr kiran, they finally informed me after one more month, that my connection will be done on a particular date. Then, on the promised date of connection mr kiran is informing me that there is no fiber connectivity in my building. The feasibility of a connection was to be done beforehand, but the pathetic service and inefficiency of these guys resulted in wasting two months of my time in a simple broadband connection. That is how airtel works. There is no system, no accountability for the harassment caused to the customers. Really pathetic service.

Every time i recharge i get a message that kid zone service is renewed then i call 121 they say you have no value added services in your number then why are they deducting money?

Many times i have visited their store they are as unhelpful as their customer services. I wish i have never purchased this airtel sim in first place.

I am fed up of airtel and their irresponsible behaviour, please help or i have to change my network provider soon :

Am from manikonda, hyderabad. Have taken airtel's broadband connection in the month of september. 899 plan add paid for 6 months advance as asked by the executive to get free router.in a week, it got installed n they had provided landline connection too. I paid to the executive through paytm. Now from the past two months, am getting call from airtel to pay the bill. I was telling in the calls that i had already paid n sent them the screenshot of paytm transaction. From past 10 days, i have no internet connection n landline outgoing is stopped. Have shared the executive numbers to them. Still no action. Am having health issues from past week n instead of with from home, i was going to office since there is no net at home. This is like harassment. Airtel people worry only about money. Act is far far better in terms of handling customer issues. Even after escalation, still no action taken.

I got a call from a number [protected] at 3:33 pm today regarding the unpaid balance for a sim no. ([protected]). I told them that the sim got misplaced 3 months back and that we are not using it. She said the sim is being used currently. I asked her for the numbers that are being contacted on that number so that we can put a police complaint on that. She said it is being used for internet services. I asked her to check again if there are any call made from that number to any other number so that we can track who is using the sim. At this point, she started hurling abuses at me and asked me in a high pitch voice if i am mental. I disconnected the call. This is harassment.

I verified in truecaller and found that the name is swetha.
Can you please take necessary action against the offender?

Thanks,
Likitha
