    I am highly disappoint by airtel because its almost 4 days but my airtel sim not yet activated. I have already called customer care about the issue but they gave always a different reply. My sim has been stolen and airtel store alloted me a duplicate sim and said that your sim will be activated within 24 hours but its not activated till now. What can i do now???

      Dear sir,

      This is to inform you that we have three postpaid and prepaid airtel mobile numbers but we are not able to connect to bsnl landline numbers in himachal pradesh (Distt. Una, area - mubarakpur, amb).

      If we dial from other mobile operators, there is no such issue.

      Can somebody tell me why is it so???

      Hearing from you soon.

      Thanks,

      Dear sir,

      With reference to the cited subject, this is to inform you that i got a pack of rs.2999/- activated on my mobile number[protected] on 06.08.2018 for use in switzerland on 10-14 august, 2018 but sorry to point out that i couldn't enjoy this facility during the said period. Only internet was working and that too at a very low speed. I couldn't send any sms and make any phone call.
      On 16th august and subsequently, i contacted the customer care office but didn't get any reply for the same.

      Please look into it on priority and refund the amount immediately.

      Thanks and regards,

              Dear team,

              I need some conclusion on my issue.

              I have two connections one is [protected] (Primary connection) second no is [protected] (Add on / child connection).in the month of jun or jul 2018 i have add them under family pack connection. From that day onwards second no, [protected] is not able to access internet connection. I have raised several complaints through call center and through mail (Kindly go through this mail trail).

              I have not got solution for the same. It became mental harassment. Though i have internet connection on child no, for net related transaction they are completely depended on me and my work got disturbed and it was a mental harassment as family member was not able to access internet.

              Even we have changed the sim also but no improvement. No one is ready to help. Several times i have opted for porting. Every time some or the other reason they told and made me to stay back but no solution. I have visited your stores several times to get it rectify but no result.

              Now i lost confidence and trust on airtel. Airtel cheated me. Every month they have charge the rental amount but not provided the service.

              My request is, kindly give me clarity, if airtel team is capable to sort out my issue or not. If not possible pls let me allow to port my no to other service provider.

              Almost 18years association i have with airtel. This is the worst service i have received and non of the executives are not competitive enough to understand the customer issue.

              Either sort out the issue or allow me to go for other service provider.

                  Airtel has the mentality to disturb its customees and make fraud with them. Really shame on you people for doing fraud with the customers as you people don't have guts to earn your income. Instead you people become greesy hungry fellows to eat the benefits of rhe customers. If this is the way you people treat the customers then that day is not so far when you will lose the business. Now you people become greedy by eating the money every month. If you have little bit shame and little bit self respect and respect for your parents then give the benefits from your side as your services becoming worse day by day. Show some respect to the customers by giving them bemefits from your side atleast to me instead of looting me cheating with me and doing fraud with me.

                  If you can't do this thing then do one thing take one big katora and sit on the road. People will give you lot of money to you. You hungry greedy beggars only have the mentality to loot he customers instead of giving them benefits you people become blood suckers of them. Really shame on you.

                    Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, 500027

                    HI My Name is Sharath I have raised a concern with my Handset damage on Airtel Secure. I am using Samsung S9+ handset and it got damaged accidentally for which i have raised a request with Airtel Secure as I was having the services enabled for my handset.

                    I have attached all the required documents through Airtel application to for claiming handset damage in Airtel Secure.

                    Next day Airtel team called me up and asked for picture of the damaged part with IMEI number(*#06#) and Bill copy with IMEI number on it which the other day it was not on the bill.

                    So i have got the same from PAI electronics store. And today Airtel team called and they are saying the handset is not on your name so you will not get the claim.

                    My question is when i submitted for the 1st time also the bill was some other person name and then why did he ask me to get bill copy with IMEI number on it?

                    I am using this phone since day one of the bill. It was my feiend and my understanding to exhange phone.

                    When I was registering phone for airtel secure i have used this phone to register with attaching bill copy then why was the registration accepted at that day?

                    I need to escalate this and if possible want to approach consumer complaints for the same.

                    Regards,
                    Sharatg

                      Airtel offered life time validity on my mobile no. [protected] against payment of ₹1100/-. I accepted the offer without any qualification and paid the full amount demanded. All of a sudden the life time validity has been withdrawn and i am being asked to pay afresh every month and blocked my outgoing calls. This action of airtel is illegal and untenable and the company should restore the facility without delay.

                        When i was purchasing this airtel sim this was lifetime sim but suddenly it got expired without any notification.

                        Now today have 216/- rs balance in my main account but still & at the time of 1000/-recharge validity showing as unlimited, i am not able to make an outgoing call.

                        This is not at our acceptable from airtel at least, i have been using this sim since 2008 but i think now, i have to port it. Or need refund balance amt which i have not used as on date.

                          Hello,

                          I am nikita paliwal, airtel user with a postpaid connection. Also, manage two other numbers of my family. And, now i am really frustrated with their network issues and unnecessary formalities.

                          First : i am a resident of meerut, and i hardly receive network inside the use. They talk about 4g, 5g, they can’t even provide network inside a built space at ground level, forget basement. We have to actually come out of the house to talk uninterruptedly.

                          Second: another stupid formality, if i have to import my number from one state to another, i have to go to their office to re-submit my documents, as if i have changed my country, or my adhar card number will change. Its not even the service provider change, that i have to re-submit my documents. How stupid of this, its such a waste of time to keep on visiting their office for such petty issues.

                          They have such expensive plans, and after paying so much, they do not even provide any relief to the customer, and frustrate them with their services.

                          Apart from it, if you have extended the bill due date by even 2 days, they cut your services, and plus you have to pay 100 rs extra. And also have to bear the pain of no services (Incoming as well as outgoing).

                          I think its time for a change, rather than going to your office and import my number to a different state, it better i go to some other service provider’s office, and change my service provider.

                            Airtel claims itself to be the fastest internet in india? Absolute nonsense. Your ookla also showed your real face. Below is my results on your network by ookla
                            Download speeds: 0.56, 0.40, 0.37, 0.28 mbps
                            Upload speeds: 0.24, 0.18, 0.05, 0.02 mbps

                            Donot shamelessly advertise yourself in india without resolving the issue. My issue is open for 3 days now and they keep saying they will resolve in 3 working days!! They don't even follow their own sla?
                            If bangalore city itself is this way and how they provide internet to other parts of india?
                            My service request number: sr88721882, if you cannot resolve it in the specified days, please take back your product and refund my money with penalty for cheating the customer with cheap product.

                            the issue is in the HOTSPOT dongle with number: [protected]. First educate yourself with the info that we cannot make calls form a HOTSPOT.

                            I pay airtel monthly rent and waste half my day in talking to the CUSTOMER CARE where people don't even know how to speak to ask them to resolve the network issue. Why does airtel call themselves the ### speedest fastest network, Anu Bahl from CUSTOMER CARE promised that it will be resolved by 3 Dec that too after i called them again for the complaint raised on 28 Nov. Yet no one called till this time to check on the network connectivity.
                            Attaching their ookla test results!! Airtel be proud that yours is the worst network in the whole world.

                              My out going call had been disconected for not maintaing mimimum bal this is dadagiri from mobile company as i have right to use my phone airtel not force us to use their service as they wher going in loss. Because when they where making profit they had not given share to consumer so i condem this decission..
                              I hope trai will take action against airtel to safegurd consumer right

                                There is a airtel communication tower set up on the terrace of 1/3 ganguly lane, posta, burrabazar, kolkata -700007.
                                This is to inform you that my father (Shri mukesh kumar karnawat) is the registered owner of the land and building on which your tower is set up.
                                Our promoter with his documents has got the tower installed at our premises since 4 years without our consent and we are not even getting our share since the installation.
                                Your company doesn't even have our
                                Noc and your tower is installed illegally there.
                                We would request you to either get in contact with us or we will be proceeding legally.
                                Thanking you,

                                    I have been using this prepaid airtel sim from past 4-5 years but from past one month i have been recieving a message that my outgoing calls will be stopped and now after 15-20 days there are no incoming calls allowed to my number.
                                    Have no clue why is so, i am a service woman, i have so many calls to attend so who will bear this loss. No response from the airtel customer care.

                                      When I was purchasing this Airtel sim this was lifetime sim but suddenly it got expired without any notification.

                                      I have 18 Rs in my main account balance but still, I am not able to make an outgoing call.

                                      This is not at our acceptable from Airtel at least, I have been using this sim since 2011 but I think now, I have to port it.
