Hi,
We are residents of Bangalore, Avalahalli main road, 11th main, 6th cross, Raghavendra Block.The area is purely residential area of many houses in a single building throughout the area .Inspite of multiple times opposition by all the residents, almost 30 to 40 houses, the tower installation is still going on stage by stage everyday. The installation is happened when during working hours when nobody is home.Kindly take up the issue on priority as soon as possible to stop the installation .
Kindly redirect this issue to the management with topmost priority.

      I recently ported my number to Airtel after being influenced with their advertisement for India's fastest network but in reality Airtel doesn't even have range to receive or make calls.
      I tried reaching their customer service but no assistance provided and the respresentative was arrogant. I'll have to vare this useless network services before porting my number to the before one.

            On 22/08/2018 at 3:45pm a caller by the no [protected] claimed himself a an airtel officer and has asked me my personal details like name, acount details and so on, when i refused he started abusing me. When i called back and asked the reason of abuses and his reasons of calling he just reafused and said he wanted to tell me about some rewards and all and then he transferred the call to his supervisor and hanged me for a long.

            This is not first call earlier on 29/7/18 at 10:00am i received same kind of call asking me for my atm card details and then he abused me harder.

            This is not the way where i feel secure, such fraud callers must be punished.

            It's duty of the cellular companies to provide us safe communication medium.

                      My airtel balance got deducted around rs.20 for primezone services without my concern. When i called customer care agent they said i accessed some prime zone services. I have not access any prime zone services.

                      Airtel is kept deducting money for those kind of services which actually i didn’t accessed it in my mobile.

                      Kindly look into this issue and act accordingly to get my balance refunded

                        Airtel has deducted 9, 676.76 from my bank account overnight. I only had 10, 000 in my account and now i am broke.

                        I didn't activate auto debit and i need my money back. The customer care guy said it will be refunded but i haven't got any response. I want an immediate refund else i will take a strict action. This is not the way to behave with customers deducting money without intimation and auto debit.

                        They have a very bad reputation against money deductions.

                        In email ... I kept asking about the refund since I did not authorize this payment and it was automatically deducted from my account even though I removed my card details and deselected the auto mode 2 months back.
                        On my every email, they just replying the auto generated thing saying the payment has not been reflected but they haven’t mentioned that they will refund the amount once it gets reflected.
                        I am so frustrated, this is unethical... I am only left with 180Rs and am requesting them again and again that I won’t able to survive without my amount but no attention has been paid to my request.
                        Unethical practice ... I will report an action against it immediately.

                          My airtel no. [protected] stopped working on the morning of 18 august 2018. At first i thought that it's just the network problem and i waited for the network to go live again but it didn't. So i called customer care in the evening regarding my issue. The customer care executive told me the my no. Is working fine, it's just the physical sim card that is not working and i have to get a new sim card from the airtel store. As the sim was not on my id, i had to ask my brother to get the sim for me. He went to airtel store on 21 august and got the duplicate sim, the executive there told my brother that the sim will be activated in next 4 hours. I got the sim in the evening on the same day. I inserted the sim on my mobile phone and the sim was working again, but for only five minutes. After that it's not working again. What should i do. I need my airtel number to work again very urgently. Please help.

                              On 5th August, 2018, I paid RS.471 bill for Airtel Hotspot no : [protected] from Airtel App via UPI.
                              Money was deducted, but still got messages with due payment. Later, I paid via Paytm and messages had stopped.
                              I did not get refund of the money deducted from Airtel App.

                              UPI ID for unsuccessful payment via Airtel App :[protected]
                              UPI id for successful payment via Paytm :[protected]

                              I would like to get refund for unsuccessful payment done via Airtel App.

                                  Hi,

                                  Just to give you a quick background:
                                  - Taken MNP from Voda on 28th Jul'2018 for 2 Mobile postpaid connections
                                  - Currently 2 other Airtel numbers going on at my location
                                  - Experienced ~ zero signals/ network at my location since 28th Jul'2018
                                  - Raised SR for Network issue on 29th Jul'2018 ((SR # 86781674, SR#[protected]
                                  - After 1 week, Airtel Engineer visited my location, checked Network signals, found no signals, even he is not able to run his test report in his device.
                                  - He assured it will be solved by either Network optimization or by installing Internal Booster within 4-5 days.
                                  - Airtel network team may be keep on trying to connect me on Phone, but how can they connect...Due to no signals/ connectivity...

                                  Even after 1 week of Engineer visit, no result, zero network, not able to receive/ do any calls, Business is suffering.
                                  Contacted 121 call center, they said network optimization done, still ticket/ SR is open, and will be worked upon in 120 days.
                                  I visited Airtel store on 06th Aug'2018, Priyanka (store executive) mailed to Network team for the issue/ concern.
                                  I followed up with Priyanka on 07th Aug'2018 (on phone), she replied ticket/ SR is on hold and still open, Network people can't do anything, and she also said even if i mail to Nodal officer, that will not help me.

                                  I have taken MNP from voda with high hopes that i would be getting good quality of network at my location, Even though the rentals are high (as compared to corporate voda plans), However, now can't trust.

                                  Moreover i have shifted to Airtel just because i can take all my 4 numbers in a postpaid plan, but now i really donot want to do.

                                  I am quite frustrated and seems i can't even change from Airtel for next 3 months (120 days) (even if i wish to do it now). Well since i am using corporate connections, would definitively provide feedback to my concerned Corporate logistics team about Airtel, and to other colleagues.

                                  After that, despite my repeated e-mails for the concern to Airtel Nodal and Appellate on 07th Aug'2018. However, they are not giving any clear answer/ resolution since that. They have called me 3-4 times, and every time they said that they will feedback their internal team and confirm. No resolution/ hope yet.

                                  Now also, Bill has been generated, but how can i pay if i have not used the services?

                                  Still things are in dark and no confirmation of resolution and timelines.

                                  I definitely can't recommend Airtel mobile connection to my friends, colleagues, and other people.

                                  Pathetic vision to service an honest customer at "Customer care", Nodal, as well as Airtel appellate. No body cares and hear you and don't strive towards satisfying customer. Just in case Airtel wish to make money for 90 days (after 90 days, i definitely have to take MNP again), Pls let me know, i will pay in advance.

                                  Not at all Happy with the kind of treatment and poor service!

                                  Folks ! i must say i am loosing hope and trust.

                                  Requesting again the Airtel authorities to resolve Network issue and confirm.

                                  Regards

                                    This is to complaint about airtel broadband services in pimple saudagar. Every week or so they have a fiber cut and the internet is down for extended periods like over 7 – 8 hours.

                                    It seems this is a never ending issue in india. Fiber cuts are very common and almost all isps face this issue just like older landline telephone days that would suffer from cable cuts during monsoon
                                    .
                                    If airtel is unable to fix this issue once for all at least going forward it must compensate by extending the billing period by each one day for any continuous downtime beyond 4 hours and also compensate by some data packet e. G. 1gb for loss of one day or so to at least relive the customers.

                                    I know airtel is going to ignore such a suggestion and i will neither get relief from fiber cuts nor get anything in compensation but it does not stop me from raising the complaint at least.

                                    Good luck.

                                      I have a prepaid airtel connection number since last 5-6 years. I am unable to make or receive any calls last 2-3 days . An early action in this context shall be appreciated.

                                      Customer care associate told me that I have to replace my sim card and that would take 4 hours times. Why should I go through this hassle when I am not at fault and couldn't they have told this proactively so that I could have done this over weekend.

                                        Dear Sir/Madam,
                                        For the last one week I m unable to send any SMS( mobile no. [protected]). I have lodge a complaint on constumer care 4 times each time they issued one reference no and told it will start working in 4 hrs. Just you have to switch off and on your mobile. I have done this 4 time but the problem not yet resolved. The reference no are attached below. In my last conversation they transfer my call to one higher person she told me that the problem will be resolved in 48hrs, it is due to some technical issues. If they can not resolve the issue then give us the proper feedback.
                                        Request you to please look into the matter and resolved my issue.

                                        Below reference no. During costumer care
