    I recharged my airtel number with some 100 bucks or so. Even when i dint use not even like 10 rupees out of it, my current balance is 7 rupees and that i came to know when i got a call from airtel regarding cutting down my connection if i dont get it recharged soon. There's no proper platform to talk to customer care as well for grievance management.

      I have been using my number for about 14 years now and came to us was still recharging my number. Without sending me an email or any notification airtel assigned my number to someone else. I am at a high security risk as this number is connected to my bank accounts etc. Airtel - please check this immediately and help me in getting my number back. I have screenshots of my previous recharge and it’s not 90 days yet

        I've been a prompt customer for airtel using their mobile and broadband network for over 8 years now. I called airtel customer service on 18/11/2018 to request for a disconnection of my broadband connection due to bad fluctuations in the connection, due to which i was not able to use my internet. However, while talking to one of the supervisors, i was almost convinced to continue the service with a lower plan. However, by gods grace this rep started explaining me about my plan and i learnt that airtel is charging me rs 200 extra per month for the last 1 year 6 months for providing me additional 50gb data each month. The irony is that i had 1, 000 gb data left behind from my monthly usage. For a plan of 1, 100 i was charged 1, 700 a month and this airtel did it for over 16 months.

        How shameless can you guys be, the amount of money you spend on your advertisement to get new customers, you can spend 1% of it on your existing customers to keep them happy. Today, i am out of airtel's network and very soon, people will understand the kind of scammers you are and will leave you guys with nothing.

            Dear Airtel,

            It has been 6 months since I am facing network issue in Pune area near Hinjawadi. It's a huge city and surprisingly there is a very bad signal for Airtel network. Your company claims to be the best network provider but in reality, it's not.

            I am not alone many airtel customers are facing same issue.

            The connection is so weak that I can't contact your customer care. Kindly maintain your network instead of giving false information in advertisements.

            Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible.

                Airtel claims to be the fastest network but in real it is worse among Vodafone and Jio. The 4G speed is like I am using Internet 5 years ago. It is not even to send simple whatsapp messages so what can one expect.
                On complaining to airtel CUSTOMER CARE, they give best answer and the attitude they show is like they are doing pity on us by providing internet. They put blame on us saying that out of 1.4 gb u have used 1gb that means you have good internet. Are we ###.. I had 400 mb left by 2pm then till night the speed was so great that I used only 7mb more leaving 393mb as it is. They are like joking with us. CUSTOMER CARE says airtel is good and put all blame on us. They have so much autocratic behaviour. I have even said that I would port my sim then they said it will take 7 days laughingly. I guarantee I will get all my knowns airtel sim ported. I think they are shifting from India to Africa so they are so rude. Worst CUSTOMER CARE services and slowest Internet. In my area jio and Vodafone give me downloading speed around 3 mbps easily but airtel is dead at 200 250 kbps.. I will definitely port my sim after my 4G unlimited pack ends..I had used airtel since I had phone but now It will end. It is barrier to digital India and CUSTOMER CARE services is worse ever I have seen...

                    I have Airtel D2h account from last 7 years. Customer Id is [protected].
                    I have recently stop using Airtel from last 2 months as local service provider was giving me cheaper option. I used to get calls from Airtel Customer Care with different offers.
                    Recently on 22nd October I got a call from Airtel Customer care giving an offer of 1199 recharge for 12 months for all SD channels which I used to have earlier. There were 2 commitments made and the same are issues which are not resolved.

                    1. I was told that I will get instant 100 Rs cashback, if I recharge via Paytm / Airtel Bank. I have recharged via paytm and have not received cahsback yet.

                    2. I was told that this package will contain all SD channels and I reconfirmed that is it atleast equivalent to my earlier package and I was given assurance that all Entertainment / News and Kids channel are present in this recharge. After recharge I found, maximum Hindi movie channels are missing, Z Business, CNBC Awaaz are missing. After one week, no channels are coming.

                    I am following on this with customer care and I did not find any response.

                    Earlier on 31st Oct Nodal officers confirmed 2 weeks back that your TV will start soon and I have recording for that conversation.

                    Please help in resolving this on priority as I recharged almost a month back.

                      My mobile no is [protected] and [protected] m using this postpaid number from long in airtel india but from last 2 months i visit to your airtel store in ghumar mandi ludhiana servals times for coverting my numbers from postpaid to prepaid but all the time your executives give me same reason that they don't have prepaid sim cards and server is not working.
                      From last 2 months visit there for same issue but this is my worst experience from your company. If you guys running airtel store then stop giving your customers false statements this is not the right way
                      Airtel is vert valuable company in indian market but your executives pulling it down by harassing customers and wasting their time and fuel.
                      I know that you guys have to answer if any customer convert postpaid connection to prepaid but it doesn't make any sense to harass customer

                            Dear airtel,

                            Its been more than 3 months since i am facing network issue in bangalore area near padmanabh nagar.
                            Its major city and surprisingly there is a very bad signal for airtel network. There are many people in my area complaints the same not just the case with me. We have a tower installed at the top of our apartment inspite of that the signal strength is very weak in my area.
                            I am keep raising complaint about this since past 6months and no 1 responded back with solution. Pathetic service by airtel. Thinking to porting the network.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                            I have recharge with amount Rs 200 instead of Rs 199 with ICICI bank, online recharge on 12 November 2018 2 around 2 to 2.15 pm

                            Please refund my amount in my bank account. My phone number is [protected]
                            When I called using my Airtel SIM, I got message stating that my outgoing will be blocked from 16th November 2018. I don't understand why my outgoing should be blocked as I have balance in my account.
                            my number [protected]
                            I have replaced my sim on 5/11/2018 SIM no [protected] ...but still today it is not started... Plz I need immediate help...

                                I've shocked to see that validity of my sim card going to expire soon even though i've 210 rs balance.
                                Regarding this, i made a call to customer care, and informed them about my problem, their response were due to company policy we were unable to help.
                                Then i asked them to refund my remaining balance, and they said we can't refund you back.

                                This is open fraud i guess.

                                If you want to discontinue your services then termiate service o[censored]sers be pride by refunding their money back..

                                Kindly help me in this regards.

                                I need my remaining money till they stops my services which includes outgoing and incoming too.

                                This is been a bad move by trai.

                                All they doing a scam now..

                                Government ne janta log ko khilona samjh rakha hai, pehle adhaar ko link kro, phir hata do, aur ab yeh.
