Just ported into airtel (Msisdn:[protected]) yesterday at 11:30 pm and i have inserted the sim today morning and tried to call 59059 as instructed by the retailer. But every time call disconnected and i am getting a flash message saying 'thanks to choosing airtel. We are setting up your device. Please wait.' already 2 hrs gone but still no improvement. Done restart, reinsert sim multiple times.

Please suggest what to do. Already mailed to [protected]@airtel.com.

    I have taken a second connection with airtel dish tv. Ever since then, my primary connection is not working. The complaints result in the service engineer visiting & temporarily fixing the problem. After 10 min, the service is disconnected. For the primary connection, the earlier set top box was replaced with a new set top box [at an additional price]. After that there has been no time when the channels were available for viewing beyond 10 min.

      Calls to my number is not connecting. It says that the call is being forwarded and then after a long wait it disconnects saying that the number is switched off. I've not activated any call forwarding and to atleast know who've tried to reach me, i activated paid missed call alerts but that doesn't seem to work as well. I've raised complaint to customer service first on 29 sept 2018 and again on 06 oct 2018. The reaction from the customer service executives were not helpful and even if i consider porting, it will take a week and i am missing important calls.

        The complaint has not been resolved yet.
        Mohammed Rafi supervisor is so careless to give status of the complaint raised 5 months ago.

          Unnecessary balance is being detected continuously. If i call to the customer care they are saying i only activated the service.
          First they charge 20 for prime zone.
          Second for rate cutters of 46.
          If i ask for refund they are saying i'm only activated.
          I'm educated.
          Don't i know how to activate the packs.
          Already i lost 100.
          Very worst.
          Please don't play with others money

                Sir,
                Since i have change my residence from one area to other area of same town of jamshedpur jharkhand. Airtel dth connection consumer id [protected] was idle/not in service since long time. On 20/09/2018 a call came from airtel sales division asking me to recharge your dth to day with rs1149 and you will get one year (12m) 265 channels as your previous package a monsoon offer for you only. As per them i recharge my dth id [protected] rs1149 on 20/09/2018 the same time. But i am sorry to say that the previous offer is not given to me moreover the channels are removing gradually of the recharge date. It is a serious concern about the branded company can do this. Pls. Enquire it and correct it.

                  They are advertising that, airtel is the india's largest network. But it is not exactly. I am facing a lot of problems with airtel network. A lot of call dropping and internet speed is very slow..
                  I was complaint about this to airtel customer service support. But issue was not solved.
                  Simply they said technical issues, it can be solved in sometime but it is not happened.

                        On 5.9.18 an amount of rs.50.00 was deducted for a service fun games which was never opted. Immediately sms to stop was sent to airtel which the was acknowledged by airtel on 8.9.18.

                        Again rs.35 is deducted on 5.10.18 for a service which i did not put for. Why?

                        Pls stop any such services and ensure that such unjustified deduction does not happen in future.

                        Kindly arrange to refund rs.35 immediately to mobile balance.

                          I have two post paid connections of airtel numbers being [protected] and [protected]. I work as marketing manager in a private company and travel often on official work.in the month of september, i had been to jaigaon
                          (Located in west bengal, border of india bhutan border) for 2 days. Airtel has charged me international roaming charges and activated pack of rs 999/- per day, for both phone numbers without my consent for rs 2000/- each. I did not travel to bhutan but still i was billed for it. I wrote mail to airtel and called helpline informing that i had been wrongly billed and had not traveled to bhutan and their reply was that my phones got connected to towers located in bhutan and hence charged. Without having used, i had to pay 4000/-.
                          How can a consumer ensure that his phone is connected to local tower or international tower while travelling to indian border areas.

                              On dated 4/10/2018 received a sms that 20₹ deducted from my airtel mobile a/c.

                              Balance deducted without my permission, i dont know whether service of bhaktisagar portrait has been started on my airtel no or not. Without any request and deducted rs.20 from my account balance. Please stop service and return my balance as i have not requested for this service.
                              I have made complaint airtel customer service but they don't satisfied me about this and their behaviour is not good.
