    For the last 2 months am not getting proper internet on my 2 airtel nos. One is prepaid and other is post paid... Which has accumulated 122 gb data which i can't use. Being a business person this is affecting my work.
    Made complaints y walking into offices... But to no avail.
    Why give or announce packages for users if the company cannot provide... This is all a gimmick.
    Kindly improve ur infra structure asap... Don't know what else to say.

        Sir,

        I am dinesh ram, chennai.

        I got a call from airtel on 24.10.2018 from [protected] requesting to join airtel from existing mobile vendor. After discussing the plan details (Rs. 399 plan), they assured a person will come to my home for doing all the porting works and recharge.

        The same day a person named sadham[protected] approached my home and gave details to port two numbers to airtel. He also said that intial recharge will be done only at the company store and requested for rs. 800 (Rs. 399 for each number) and i gave the same.

        In two days, one of my number got ported and i requested saddam to do the recharge for that number. He did the same. The second number took a long time for porting (Ported on 15.11.2018 at 12:00 am) and after it is successfully ported to airtel, i asked saddam to do the recharge for my second number also.

        This time, saddam[protected] is not answering properly and keeps on avoiding my call for the past 3 days. Whenever i call him from a different number, he picks the call and saying recharge will be done in 30 minutes. But nothing is happening. I suspect he is storing that different mobile number also, as whenever i called him from that new number, he is not picking again.

        I want the person to do the proper recharge of rs. 399 to my mobile number.

            Hello, i have recharged for 4g pack amounting to inr.399 through online on 1st nov'2018. The transaction was failed but the amount has been deducted from my bank a/c. I hve called customer care they told me that the amount will be credited in next seven days but till date the amount got debited from my account not credited back to my account. Once the transaction is failed you have to proper steps to refund that amount. Whenever i tried calling customer care they always made a excuse and extend the date its such a waste of time. Its been more than 15 days when will i get my refund back. Its not a small amount to ignore it what can i do for this i am stressed about this situation. Will i get my refund or not. This is my third complaint here still the problem not solved. Such a worst customer service. Where can i complaint about this my time and energy is totally wasting.

              I had taken 1 days international pack for 24.10.18 and the same pack was de-activated on the same day and message received for de-activation on my mobile. But airtel charges rs.852/- for data usage charges from 26.10.18 to 29.10.18 and rs.649/- for one day pack dated 30.10.18. Please clarify if any one use data after its de-activation. On the pre-text that data usuage due to poor wi-fi system

                  I requested airtel to port my number from airtel prepaid to postpaid. I got the new sim on the same day i requested. But the problem began afterwards. They promised that within 24 hours the number will be activated, but now it has been more than 72 hours and still nothing has been done. I am left with a new dead sim and airtel people have turned deaf towards my phone calls. They say that we did not receive any porting request at all. Then how can they explain the new sim they have sent to me and what should i do about it?

                      Today i got my airtel number recharged through airtel app. The amount was 100. But after the recharge was complete the deduction amount shown was rs 1000. This is very unfair... This is absolute cheating.. I am not a fool to write 1000 instead of 100. I cross checked twice. Bt airtel deducted 1000 rs. This i absolute fradulent. My mbl no is [protected].
                      I got my recharge done through my debit card.
                      I want my full amount back

                        HI Team,

                        Mobile number [protected]
                        My current bill is 3100 and my phone is barred since 2 months,

                        The reason for not paying the bill is i have been charged 1800 RS for using 500 MB extra
                        And 400 RS of late payment and 349+Tax

                        How ever im using this number from past 3 years, And im continuously i have been charged in the same way and in the End i have to call the costume care guys for waver for the amount
                        what is this is this the kind of service you are providing for the person who is using post paid
                        and im not liking the behaviour of the customer executive whom i spoke recently

                        i want a proper resolution on my billing amount only then i will be able to pay the bill
                        And also request you to please quickly respond on my E-mail

                        CUSTOMER CARE guys tell there is no extra billing which has happens
                        and when the recovery team give a call, when i tell my problem they agree that there is a issue in the bill and they will ask me to talk to the CUSTOMER CARE executive, and they don’t give ### about my issue,

                        hoping for a quick resolution

                          Hi,

                          I hope airtel is a tick or lice a blood sucking company. Right now the had made a revision which was not informed to people. Which implies the out going / incoming call will be stopped with limited period. Which they have not informed why and when they revised. There is no sms been sent on this. They said app will have all the features. First thing the app doesn't show validity of the card.in order to get money the started a small amount plan which was for rs 35. Yes they do have 10rs plan with unlimited validity. Not sure what is unlimited validity as per airtel. I can write big paragraph about their worst support here. There will be no complaints or cases will be taken against them. As thier company is big they can bride to skip this cases. Very bad company and worst one.

                            I have subscribed for the Broadband (40MBPS) plan from Airtel for 6 months. I was assured of providing hassle free services but after initial 15-20 days, the services kept deteriorating and even after raising complaints to the customer care and the technical guys, the services are not restored yet.

                            The issue mentioned above impacts my commitments and indirectly affects my health as I need to travel a lot to work (as I am not getting the internet services I was committed to).

                                    Airtel 4g network is at its worst not even customer care is responding they are simply ignoring us and testing our patience this not good at all.
                                    Network is fluctuating all the time and there is no any kind of response from customer care instead they are too reckless to respond 4g internet is too worst even with several complaints without resolving and even without intimation they are closing complaint which is not tolerable place raise complaint on airtel 4g thank you.

                                      My airtel number is suspended that I have lost my sim so that I'm unable to make payment.Now I got my sim back but it's showing emergency calls, I thought that Airtel might have barred incoming and outgoing but when I reached to airtel customer care they said your account is suspended/your mobile no. Is disconnected.Help me on this case of paying my airtel bill.

                                        Hi, im vignesh from pondicherry and im using airtel prepaid number [protected] for more than 5+ years. On october 27th 2018 suddenly my sim didn’t receive any signal, while i was reporting about this issue to my state head office, they said me to get a new sim with the same number. As they said, i reregistered a new sim with the same number and i attach the address of the airtel store below. After a week of registration, still my sim not yet got any signal and its useless. After many conversation with airtel customer care and the airtel store i. E. Where i reregistered, i didn’t got any response from both for past 19 days. Im really unsatisfied with airtel and as you know the importance of personal number, i can’t even do any trade, online transaction, register or create any type of account in this digital world, this makes me very much disappointed and unsatisfied. I hope you people will resolve this asap. Thank you.
