It was a bulk sms sent to many customers
If any offer is given through sms we should call them and confirm whether the offer is applicable to us or not

    After showing all the fake ads claiming to be the fastest network with max coverage, on using the service you can clearly see that Airtel has one of the worst network coverage!

    Inspite of raising complaints multiple time, Airtel just refuse to attend to the concern and keep saying they are working on the issue without giving me any timelines or commitments.

    Recently incoming calls to my number were barred without any reason because of which I lost 3 important business deals that could have gotten me INR 10+ crores.
    On complaining again, the Nodal team customer service reps are absolutely unapologetic and indirectly hinted that Airtel does not care for it's customers and it's unethical practices!

    All I asked was to give a firm timeline to address my concern or waive of my bill till the time issues are fixed.

    I should ideally demand compensation for the business I lost because of the termination of services promised to be without any reason or notification.

      Hello i have recharged my airtel digital tv account. It is still repeatedly showing a negative balance. Inspite of choosing the highest package no channel is being displayed.

      This has been a case with airtel since long. There has been no resolution provided by airtel regarding this.

      I dont know how to resolve this issue. Please help me take this forward.

        Fed up calling this stupid airtel dish tv people and explaining same story for everyone as if it is like epic story. I am facing video problem from past 1 week and tried to get hep from them but still my issue is not solved.
        These people became more commercial they will try to make as much as money as they can. For any issue they will charge 500 finally by saying we have done 150 and then 250 and then 150 etc... And if we are ready give them how much they wish then they will respond if not they don't even bother about customer issues.
        These people also give suggestion to us like wait for 3 months or 6 months with same issue without providing resolution.
        And also based on our fate they will do charges bargaining as if like we are in vegetable market.
        Also they will not refund any amount if we don't want to continue with them. And they cannot even update the address without bribing them.

            Airtel starts value added services and charged rs 20, though i have not subscribed. I complained and got the refund but they did not gave any reason why was it automatically activated, when i asked them through mail.
            I think airtel is scamming people charging for i was lucky i noticed my balance deduction and there was no message receives about the subscription received.

            It might be a huge scam of duping people specially the unfortunate people who don't notice and don't know how to get in contact with the customer care.

              Bill payment for fixed line [protected] of rs 707 is not going and kept pending. I, am not able to understand this and the delay in releasing the payment when there is sufficient balance in the bank account.in my experience earlier it took 2 days to make the payment. This causes worry and tention. Please do the needful to set right the problem.

                  Sir, surpassing my earlier complaint dtd.[protected]Airtel complaint status id 2108200), instead solving my problem another problem creater at-airinf has started renewing the service which i have never requested for. The persons who call on us, make fun of me for overstaying of problem and extending another problem on my no. [protected]. They have reduced my balance to zero. Lodging complaint with you has not yet solved my problem but increased instead. God knows how you act and squeeze the
                  Customers. Regards, = mrs vimla soni.
                  Now, if my problem is not solved, i will be left with no other alternative than to lodge fir in nearest police station.

                    I placed an order for iPhoneX 64GB Space Grey on 23 Jun 2018. I was excited and was waiting to receive the new phone. As a first step, Airtel said SIM card would be delivered followed by iPhoneX, but I didnt receive the SIM for a week. Called Support and only reply is that it would be delivered soon. Approached airtel website, the support feature is not user friendly and extremely worse which doesnt have an selection path for my issue and didnt have an option to accept custom queries from customers. After 3-4 weeks, I received a call from Airtel network shop stating that SIM card is ready to delivered, that should have been delivered in 3-4 days. I wasnt interested due to delay and lack of support from Airtel. I then had to cancel the order, I did on 14 Aug, till now the refund hasnt been initiated. Very much affected due to the extremely poor service from Airtel. Airtel never bothered to call me on primary/secondary/aadhar phone nor sent an email or post. I have a broadband, a mobile service and dish tv from Airtel, i am really worried that with all these communication service that I have with Airtel was not able to reach me.

                            I'm using airtel more than 10 years, i'm staying in hebbal, bangalore.
                            Nowadays i'm facing lot of network issues from past 6 months even though i have informed network problems but also nobody took seriously and nobody solved yet.
                            I thought airtel will be good as the days going on but it's going bad and worst network.
                            Kindly call or check network where i'm staying and solve asap.
                            If not i need to port to another network.

                            Thanks,

                              I lost my poco f1 mobile in a bus. Some one took in a bus and he switched off the mobile.. After few days he called me and he was saying like give your mi account credentials to unlock your phone. After we explained that this is the theft mobile which you are trying to use. Then he told like he is going to give my mobile tomorrow but he switched off the mobile after this incident..

                              His mobile number : [protected]

                              We have registered the complaint in police station also and we have call records with that person also.

                              Please provide his details to find his location to [protected]@gmail.com

                                Today vydozinebimonth service had been activated on my [protected]@ rs35.0 but any such request was not made by me. So i request you to look into the matter and credit back the amount as soon as possible on my number. I also sent the message to 'stop' the service but no action is taken nd my balance is deducted for no reason as i never applied for any such service... So i want the amount back on my number and i request you to act on it

I complented on airtel kundanur store and airtel triponithura store in kerala. Bt they said they are helpless. They cant do anything because it was a maharastra sim. Better u go to maharastra airtel store and repair it. They give my two duplicate sim. Bt that also not working. I didnot pay my bill after i lost network from my sim.

                                      Auto renewal of many value added services even after cancellation. I didn't activated any vas ever on my number still it gets actived everytime. Have cancelled the services multiple times still it gets activated and money from my airtel wallet gets deducted everytime.

                                      Screenshot attached.

                                      Request you to initiate refund of 7 auto vas activated.
