                    I am using airtel for last 10 months and i am unable to use my internet due to very low speed which is due to poor signal quality. Whenever i complaint about poor signals they always say that work is under progress and once they finish that your network will be good. They are saying this since november 2017. This is a serious issue and i am fedup now. It's so humiliating that such a big organisation has no standard now. I wish i were trai, would have cancelled their license and imposed a huge fine.

                      I have purchased a duplicate sim from airtel store because my old sim was stolen but it's now third day my sim was not activated yet.
                      I already visit more than 10 times to airtel store but they told that your sim was activated but in reality sim is not activated..

                          I am a airtel user for the last 13 years and not a single default in payment till date. I was shocked to get a reminder for payment due on 30th august '2018 with a late fee of rs. 100/-. I have not received the bill and i have made several complaints at the airtel office at chandra layout but of no use.

                          I have made the full payment of rs. 1075 including rs. 100 late fees....

                          I have requested to shift my broadband to my new address. I received message that it will completed by 3 days, but after 5 days, no engineer contact me for the same. Also., When I call customer care representative, he said if you want to disconnect they will disconnect my connection. But they won't install broadband in my new address before 10 days, when I asked him that message said it will take 3 days. He raised my disconnection request.

                            Dear Team

                            it is very serious matter and pl take necessary action against Airtel. They are activating SMS services without customer concern and renewing the same without permission and we are loosing huge amount from our balance and we dont have enough balance to call in emergency, this is ridiculous and above all deactivation SMS also not responding.

                            Previously i request to STOP below SMS service.

                                I am using airtel for last 6 months. It seem i did not see bad network than airtel, whenever i am at my home. I cant use my internet due to very low speed. Whenever i complaint at their complaint no. They always said that work is under process when ever they finish that network will be good. They are saying this for last 5 months. Pls resolve this issue otherwise i will port my no to other user and the single reason does i have the network issue.

                                Airtel you have very bad network

                                  Almost stopped using the Airtel service, they are still insisting me to close the connection, doing these kind of cheating activity.

                                  The had acitivated " MOBISTORE" Service on 25th May, 18( Seriously still I don't know what we can do with this service). Started to deducting the amount Rs.70 every 7days without my knowlege.

                                  Unfortunately today I checked my balance, it is nill balance. Tried to recharge it, immediately got deducted Rs.70.

                                  Then I came to know Airtel is started cheating me last 5 months, total amount Rs.500(I have all my sms).

                                  I gave a call to customer care and asked them details about 'MOBISTORE '
                                  service, they are started blaming me as usual, it is not our fault it is your fault. it is deducted for data consumstion.

                                  The great thing is, I am using mobile data through my JIO sim.

                                  I wish to bring to kind attention to Airtel, please refund all my money to my number, 997****573.

                                      My airtel prepaid number is [[protected]].

                                      Today, i was charged rs 35 from my prepaid balance for a service called games world service. This was activated on my mobile at 6:18 am today (03/09/2018) for a period of 7 days without my permission or my asking for the same.

                                      I have stopped the service today morning after discovering the same. However, this service was activated on my phone without my permission or any type of intimation. I do not need this vas at all.

                                      Request you to look at my complaint and refund the amount charged immediately.
