Hi Team,

I am sridhar from Pragathi Nagar, and recently took a airtel broadband connection. I have took a prepaid plan for six months with 2702 INR and paid the same. As per the plan i have to get 16 mbps speed, but they have enabled 8 mbps (2100 INR). I have called the customer care/sales/installation team about 10- 20 times. Every time they were telling we have raised request and due to the technical constraints from airtel they were not able to update the plan.

While taking to customer care, if i have asked the execute to forward the call to their manager they were keeping in very long hold and simply telling the lines are busy.

I don't understand why airtel is not providing the right service for the payments made by customer.

Regards,
Sridhar

    I have recently recharged my airtel plan for 1.4 gb 4g for 84 days and the result is quite upsetting. I have not been provided with the so called fast internet that they boast of and network suddwnly changes to 3g inspite of a recharging with a 4g pack and having a volte handset. The internet speed is unbearable at times and huge ping spikes are frequently received which make any online task impossible to do. Inspite of living in an urban city, the network services are very poor and no proper response or solution is being given from their end.

      I tried to pay my bill (Of rs 357) on 07-oct-2018 for vodafone no [protected] from my airtel app which is also there in the same mobile. I tried twice but the transaction were unsuccessful. But, all of sudden i saw that my wallet balance reduced by rs 357. I was waiting for readjustment but it didn't happen. Plz refund back my amount immediately.
      The app does not have transaction history with a understandable details. It's not upto mark. No help section in the app. Horrible.

      I need my money back to my wallet.

        Dear sir,

        I am using airtel post-paid corporate connection (Mob# [protected]) since quite a long time. Recently, sometime around jun'18, i have upgraded my post-paid plan and received one year subscription of amazon prime (Next renewal date : 21st jun'18).

        Now, on 29th sep'18, suddenly my prime subscription got deactivated without any justification. I have not changed my plan and this has become quite frustrating as i am chasing the same since then but haven't found any resolution.

        I have tried to get help from airtel customer care but they appears to be ignorant and unwilling to help and given me some illogical explanation even after i have tried to clearly articulate my situation.

        I then get in touch with the concerned person in ecospace airtel store and they have raised sr on the same and following up but till now, there is no fruitful solution.

        I have then contacted several times the airtel nodal office (Nodalofficer. [protected]@in. Airtel.com) followed by appellate team (Appellate. [protected]@in. Airtel.com) and i have tried all possible options they have asked for and conveyed all articulating properly. I have followed up in many mails but haven't got any resolution yet and every time i am getting false promise which is not getting fulfilled.

        I would hereby request to look into my issue and help in resolution at the earliest. It's really quite surprising for me, in association with airtel not only fulfilling my their commitment but not helping to address the issue.

        Kindly note, i can share all possible proofs along with if required.

        I need an urgent intervention from your end and a resolution at the earliest.

        Thanks
        Regards,

        Samit

        Dear Team,

        Haven't heard anything on the same. Whenever I am getting a call, it is just to wait for some more time as they are investigating the same. I am not sure off, how long it will take to investigate a simple issue. I am suffering the same since 29th Sep'18.

        Requesting for a quick reply.

        Thanks

            I am facing data signal issue in my home location and have logged a complaint in jun 2018. Airtel representative visited the location and agreed that there is a issue and they need to migrate the service accordingly. (Most of the time data speed is 1 mbps or even less). Since then following with airtel every week but no satisfactory actions till date. I even requested to escalate this complaint but not seen any progress. Thanks.

              Airtel is sending the mobile bill of [protected], to my mail address and also calling me to pay the bills, this is not my number not even belongs to any of my relative.

              I suggested airtel many times to correct the data at their end or call the customer directly. Or cut down the connection user or customer will contact them back.

              But every time airtel giving assurance to correct the data at their end. (I have proof as written emails from airtel side). But it is not working so writing here.

                  I am using around 4 sims of airtel - [protected], [protected], [protected]

                  They is no signal in our place, and its zero network and we need to come on the road to get connected and i think its the worst network going day by day.

                  After several complaints also they is no action to rectify the problem.

                  Pls correct your network or just close your service.

                      I want to complaint regarding your signals. There is no signal at all in my area. I had a opinion of "why did i choose this nasty network", oh god i couldn't get signal for both voice and data even i go out of my house. Really tired of it. I'm unable to communicate with anyone. Im a prepaid user, it's like whatever i'm paying for recharge going into vain. It need to be "value for money". Im very disappointed with this network.
                      Finally please take some measures to provide signal in my area.
                      My address is:

                        In my airtel bill for the period: 05-sep-2018 to 04-oct-2018 bill no:[protected], it was showing i send international sms to the number: [protected], 2 times. Details below:

                        But i haven't send any sms to that number and i have no idea about that number. When i checked online the same number found for fraud in airtel's other customer complaints too. I guess its a fraud from the company. They have charged rs 10 + 18% gst for that 5 rs per sms. I want this to be solved.

                            Today morning I got a call from airtel executive regarding my amount 1000/- rupees to my account.
                            He told only through debit card payment is possible and asking for card details and CVV no.

                            I given the details but that executive deducted 4999/- rupees two times and then 1000 rupees then 400 rupees then 199 rupees.Now unable to return my money to my account.

                            This is serious fraud and serious cuber crime. Immediately refund my amount otherwise I will charge a fraud case against CCAvenue.

                            Thanks,
                            AMLAN MOHAPATRA

                                  I have changed my sim to Airtel 4G about an year back. Initially the speed was good in my 4G enabled phone. But now in recent days it's been dead slow. Sometimes slower than 2G. My data pack is getting wasted. I have already raised this to CC but no proper action yet. C4GSP[protected]

                                    I have complained two times already here. But airtel is making no effort in solving my issue. From the last 10 days i have no network in my sim card and i am facing a ton of difficulties due to it. I cannot make call to anyone nor that i can receive any call due to no network. Its just that i am studying in a university and i am using its campus wifi. I have not contact my parents from the last 10 days. Kindly look into this matter i am frustrated by now.

                                      Hi
                                      My name is jimeet shah, i have family plan of rs.1199 activated which includes 3 free family add ons. My primary number is [protected].

                                      I wanted to activate international roaming pack of 10days for indonesia which is about 2999rs. For 10days on my add on number [protected] from 16th sept 2018 to 23rd sept 2018. So i called airtel customare care on 15th or 16th sept 2018 regarding the activation. So the customare care said that your pack of 10days of 2999 rs. Will be activated when you reach indonesia and internatinal roaming will be activated in half an hour.

                                      But as on today 6th oct 2018 as i received the bill on mail i have been charged 6008rs. For the international roaming that is regular charges and not according to the pack i activated before going. So i called customare care and was informed that your plan was not activated and you have been charged on regular basis.

                                      So how come its my fault as the mistake is from your side but they replied we cannot do anything you have to pay the bill amount.

                                      Please solve this issue as its not the fault from my side and as i have heard you record all the calls for emergency purposes you can check it or i wont pay the bill amount and go for the portability or will have the new operators connection.

                                      I have called from my side for the activation of the pack but from your side you are trying to cover your fault. Its not good as i thought airtel was good and 1 month back i have ported my number from vodafone to airtel. Please dont prove me wrong or else i have to port again all my 8 numbers of my family using airtel to other operators.

                                      Please look into this matter seriously and this is not how you treat customers.

                                      Hope you will resolve the issue positively and as soon as possible.

                                      Thank you

I need otp for money transactions to all needs. Please handover the sim to my wife as early as possible expect a quick solution to my problem with further knowledge of the procedure.
