    I have airtel rs. 448 prepaid plan, 4g sim card and a 4g phone (Oneplus 5). I have enabled 4g and even volte in my sim settings. However, i don't get 4g at my home.
    4g speed is extremely slow (50-60 kbps) and the network frequently drops to 3g/h+. Especially it drops to 3g when on a call.
    I get 4g speed in other places even 15-20 feet away from my home, but at my home the speed is extremely terrible. Resolve this as soon as possible.

      Firstly, note that i have complained regarding the same with the service request number cabnr[protected] which went unanswered and got marked as closed without my knowledge.

      For my airtel number [protected], i have recharged rs. 199 twice whereas the benefit is received only once.
      Here are the transaction details:

      First recharge details:

      Recharge amount: rs. 199
      Transaction id: [protected]
      Date of transaction: 14 dec 2018 12:46 a. M.
      Status of recharge: successful

      Second recharge details:

      Recharge amount: rs. 199
      Transaction id:[protected]
      Date of transaction: 14 dec 2018 01:41 a. M.
      Status of recharge: successful

      Note that i have received the benefit of only one of the above two recharges. Either initiate a refund of rs. 199 or provide me with the benefit of the other recharge too.

      For your convenience, i have attached the necessary screenshots.
      Thank you,

            Hi this is my mobile number +91 [protected]. I have recharged for inr. 3998 for uae roaming package.

            Package benefits are 500 mins of incoming and 500 mins outgoing call. Order id is[protected].

            I have been in uae for past 4 days but still i have not been credited with the above benefits. For each incoming and outgoing calls i have been charged with 30 rs.

            I have talked to customer care multiple times and they don't understand my issues and still they are raising the sr and closing it on the same day after crediting the 30 rs amount and that's it.

            Airtel need to refund the amount or give me the package advantage. Already 4 days of my package is wasted.

            Please help to resolve the issue.

              Complaint details my number was deactivated for the second time without any prior notice after the working hours. It says my address verification has failed but no one showed up for the address verification. I have been facing a lot of consequences without mobile due to uninformed deactivation. Without showing up for the address verification just like that they updated that wrong address. I have been cheated in the beginning that i will have to pay a refundable deposit of 300 rupees. But it was one time activation charges. Later when i came to know that they tried to manage but i knew the fact. So the store manager paid my activation fee as the customer service representative mr. Naveen made the mistake. This is mere cheating. I could not imagine a person cheating like this to customers. The unaware customers will go a loss of 300 rupees.in regards to my activation, when my connection was disconnected first i went to the airtel office and showed my verification document. Again the customer care department asks me to do the same due to which i am running loss of pay. There is no proper response or a proper complaint portal to hear this. This is a fault of the activation team. They just stay where they are and update address verification failed. I have the records that no one had come for the address verification except from my office. Airtel claimed that they came for address verification (No one showed up) on 13 and 14 dec but the address verification failed. The same day people from my office xxxx came for address verification got my document and left. So it is the mistake of airtel. I was said i can switch to prepaid at anytime by the customer service officer but that was also an attempt of cheating, i could not switch it for the next three months. So i am left with no hope now. I cannot face disconnection for every five days and suffer because of the negligence of the airtel verification team. When i apptocahed the airtel office even there they just say that they r busy and keep on postponing the work

                Dears,
                I have a serious issue/ complaint about airtel. Last month in my airtel prepaid number, it shows the validity upto 2021. Now today i have received a message which is telling that i have to recharge for my mobile number validity by 18th of december this month after that it will not work. If this type of services they will give every time then i don't have any option except to quit from airtel services. Every time i have recharged my number when it goes down & even i have not used it for calling as it is in international roaming. But they deducted from my account every time even i have not taken any services. Kindly solve the issue as soon as possible.

                    Dear sir,
                    Recently i have received message that if i have not recharge my airtel mobile number, the service will be stopped and the some amount will be also deducted from main account.

                    If balance is available what is requirement of recharge our numbers every month. It is totally unfair rules.

                    It is kindly requested to take a necessary action against the telecom company and give favourable decision to huge numbers of mobile consumers.

                      Sir/madam,
                      I recharged mistakenly for the amount of rs.159/- on 13.12.18 this offer actually not available for my number and available offer is rs.149/- where i get benefitted for 1gb/day +unlimited calls for 28 days. But for rs159 i got only unlimited calls+ totally 1 gb that also valid for 21 days. When i contacted them for about 3 to 4 times but no proper response. Is it right that if i pay extra i get penalty? Refund my money as this is totally cheating.

                            I changed my internet 4g lte service plan, for the number [protected] around 25th sep 2018. After which my internet stopped working. I went to airtel gallery in vishrantwadi, pune. After several visits, my internet was still not working, post which i was asked to change the sim card. Even after replacement of sim card (Number [protected]) on 8th oct 2018, my internet services were not working.

                            So on 13th of oct 2018, i asked the gallery person to provide me with a new connection for the internet and close the previous connection, which was [protected].

                            I was provided with a new connection and a number for the same is [protected] and was assured that the previous connection has been closed.

                            However, i am still getting bills on my mail for the number which i had asked to be disconnected.

                            Need help to resolve this issue.

                              I have an habit of watching animes and movies which is mostly supported by rapidvideo site. Recently you are not supporting that site and i'm not at all satisfied by your recent actions. I am using your services through sim. If you want to block any websites please make sure that customer view. So please consider this complainent and i believe by solving these customer including me get satisfied. Because others service providers like jio are not blocking these type of websites.
