    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:
              Kadipikonda, kazipet, warangal, telangana

              Worst airtel 4g network with false advertising as "India's fastest network".Even I want to port from this bloody network.B###

                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:
                1 09/sep/2018 22:17:16 [protected]
                2 14/sep/2018 11:37:13 [protected]
                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.

                    Dear Team,

                    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

                                  Address: Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, 457001

                                  I called airtel customer service to deactivate one of my airtel digital tv account as i have 2 dth standard connection on one account because of the offer airtel provided me after my first connection (My airtel digital tv connection number [protected] "001-002 ext. For both connections"). Now after i got that connection i was informed that for 99/- additional on my base pack i will be able to keep using both the connections with same channels. Within a month my connection got suspended and was informed that balance is over. I got it recharged without noticing the fault for so long. This year i realized my both connections are above 200rs specially the second connection was of rs. 275 and first one of rs. 219/- when i called their customer service today and asked them to disconnect my second connection and refund my money back they denied that they don't refund any money also they will take away the setup box they provided during the connection which was shocking also i asked him to connect me to his superior he disconnected my call. I called second time i was informed that they don't return you your deposit back and they will take away all the setup box dish if you opt for complete account closure no refunds and huge deposits. They are just fooling customers making big bucks and making their pockets heavier. Airtel must be banned from providing services. At least reliance jio is not playing with people's money and at least providing services.

                                  Same issue with my broadband. I was paying 699/- per month for unlimited pack with 4mbps speed which was later automatically changed to 40gb per month with 2mbps speed not informed during the time they provided me the connection nor after changing it. Then they extended it to 1000gb's and my speed remaining to 2mbps and billing me with 699/- per month + taxes. I came to know through my neighbors that they were offered plan of 299 with 8mbps speed which was not even offered me and they kept charging me for next 2 months with the same amount when i called them to disconnect my connection they offered me the same plan and promised to upgrade my speed which didn't happen and my speed kept decreasing daily. When i called their customer care again they said they will raise request like last time and still no updates. After looting thousands of rupees from me they still haven't fixed any issue nor even listening to my complaints and providing fake promises through ads on tv to fool people.

                                  On jio's sim i watch youtube all day and their data doesn't gets consumes even 50% of 1.5gb for around half day whereas on my airtel 4g sim it get's consumed complete 2gb of my data in 2 hours with 480p video quality.

                                      I am using the airtel postpaid with the monthly plan of ₹ 649 of which generally i get of bill of ₹ 750-770 but this month i received a bill of ₹ 1910.
                                      When i enquired at customer care to resolve my problem they said you have to pay it as these are your sms charges. The sms charges mentioned or anything extra i have not used it and i wanted to waiver off the unwanted/unused charges sent with my bill.
                                      As i have visited the airtel store and they spoke to the customer care and mentioned about the error in the bill and it’ll get wavy off still when i spoke to the customer care again they said i have to pay the bill which is itself is so mismanagement and unfortunately unprofessional.
                                      Please make sure you look into this matter and resolve it as soon as possible cause this huge bill i am not going to pay without using any of this amount.
                                      It’s really unfortunate i that i am facing such problem thinking it’s the leading portal and switched my connection from vodafone to your company.
                                      I want you to the resolve the problem earliest and my normal bill with zero error as i won’t pay the overcharged billed amount.

                                        I have been using airtel postpaid plan of rs. 299 (Cug plan)+taxes since 2016 on my airtel number [protected]. Every month i used to pay total bill of 350-370 approximately. When i received the bill this month, it was of rs. 773 including taxes. I was shocked and began checking my usage details. I found that my bill plan was changed to 649 from 299 without my knowledge. I called the customer support and informed them about this. They responded saying that my previous plan had become invalid and it was upgraded to 649 plan. On asking further about this change, they informed me that my plan would be changed to 299 new plan but i would need to pay the outstanding amount. Why should i pay for something which i never opted for? I called them nearly 8 times and every single time, i was assured that i would get a waiver of rs. 400 on my current outstanding amount by end of day. But since last 3 days, i have not received any waiver apart from rs. 150 that i received after my 2nd call. Every time a different person takes the call and i have to explain him/her about all the details, still they don't understand my problem and tell waiver would be initiated within 2 hours or 5 hours or by end of day.
                                        Kindly take some necessary action against this. This is a new trick to rob customers. I would never recommend airtel to anyone and also port my number asap.
