The reference no. related to airtel 4g compliant is given below.

1) C4GSP[protected] (Dt:[protected]
2) C4GSP[protected] (Dt:[protected]

The 4g signal for internet is very weak and downloads are very slow. the signal changes as E, H, H+ and can be compared with 2g. signal strength is -122 dbm 25 asu. airtel tower is positioned 1 km from my house.
same problem was witnessed 1 month ago and was rectified.

data settings in my phone are correctly set to lte. mine is 4g phone and 4g sim is in slot 1. same details were given to airtel customer care on the above dates.

though airtel boasts as best unfortunately adequate 4g signal strength is not provided leaving the customers just wait n watch. the open network of airtel is given more preference rather than the customer complaint.

my no. (protected).

      No revert from the company yet. The airtel people do not even recognize and consider human errors.

      Really too disappointed.

        We are not receiving SMS on our Mobile phone. The SMS sent by banks and other companies like OTP etc are either not received or get very late say about an hour. Requested so many times on 121 of Airtel but problem is not resolved. Due to this we are not able to make transactions and other work because of Late SMS. Despite repeated request Airtel is not resolving our complain.

          Airtel has deducted rs.[protected]@35 on 18.8.2018 t 12.40pm and on 25.8.2018 at 3.40am for two consecutive bioscpoe service which i have not subscribed to. When i came to know about these unauthorised deduction, i was completely shocked, on such type cheap activity conducted by airtel. How is it possible? It is completely unauthoarised deduction. Without my consent airtel has deducted my account balance. This is not first time that airtel has made anauthorised deduction from my account. They have made very hard for customers to complain as you can't find customer care no. Airtel is cheating with their customers.

          I have been charged for International calls that I did not make on my airtel mobile number, on the number[protected] for a few months now.
          These charges have been made on 3 of my airtel connections.
          I have paid the bills but I would like them to be adjusted in my further payments.
          No net work available in our area.If network is not working why you are going to provide your services in non available network area.Be honest at least otherwise you may lose your customers.

                I am an nri working in dubai and visit my native in india once or twice a year. I had subscribed to a airtel prepaid sim card since the last 7 years, and it had been working fine till a few days back.

                Now, it shows "emergency calls only", and does not get registered on etisalat network. I have tried cleaning sim, switching phones, topping up recharge etc. But the same result.

                Can you please provide a solution to this?

                  I was doing a recharge of rs. 448 using my airtel app. I used the upi option for the payment method. I had done such transactions before and they were successful. But this time my money was debited and no recharge was done. I called the airtel customer care and tried to understand what went wrong. I believe that they have changed some things in their app and now instead of transferring to the bhim upi app they wanted me to integrate my upi in the app only. I didn't know this and chose the bhim app for the payment anyway. And like always the bhim app asked me to pay rs 448 to "[protected]@hdfcbank". It was all automatic and i didn't get any idea of something wrong happening.in the end my my money was transferred to airtel and airtel app didn't even notice it.

                  I request airtel to just send me my money back or better just do my recharge.

                  I can understand that it was not airtel's 100% fault. But it was not my fault either.

                          Hi,

                          I want to bring to your attention an online fraud that has been done by airtel and its representative. I applied for airtel broadband connection online and received a call from airtel representative name "anandan j" and he asked me send documents aadhar, pan and rental agreement as proof of address and photo id proof via watsapp.

                          I send him the document and he gave me a caf number to make online payment of 2829 rs toward new connection. Which he said this plan is for 3 months with free router and installation charges.
                          When i try to login to airtel portal online
                          http://www.airtel.in/payonline/?oa
                          It was giving some error and so i called him back saying it is not working.
                          He provided me with bank of india a/c number and asked me transfer money.

                          When i called him for setting up connection he said it will take 2-3 working days and due to some doubt called airtel customer care and now they were telling service is not available in my area.

                          Now that representative is not picking up the phone and i have not got the broadband connection.

                          When i try to call the representative he is not ready to refund my money back and not answering my calls.

                          Note: for airtel this is a bad remarks which makes people not to trust in future. People like this will survive for few days but soon going perish.

                          Below details given by fraud representative

                            Today at 3:30 am (26th august) i received a message on my number that namkeen pack has been activated on my number. This happened without my permission & balance of rs-35 /- has been deducted from my account.

                            I have never subscribed for this service, why airtel has activated this??

                            Want to file a complaint for such unnecessary deductions made by airtel.

                            I want the amount refunded asap.

                              There is a dirty play going on by airtel. When i do my unltd recharge, they reduce the signal strength after 4-5 days. When i call cc, they keep saying that work is going on. Wtf, are you kidding us. You are running a service pan india or a general shop? They takes 5 - 10 days for network restoring. This happens every month. So, we get unltd plan for 20 days only in 199. So, my suggestion to all is to leave airtel.
                              I am also giving assurance that there will not be a single user of airtel in my area within a month.

                                  I am shiladitya banerjea from greater noida. Airtel has degradated its 4g service in greater noida since oct'17. After complain, an engineer visited in dec'17 & verified poor signals in entire area. A srv req got logged ref no:82866197 dt jan'18 but till date it is yet to be restored. I hv been paying my full bill regularly with 10-20% discounts that too at their will. Airtel is repeatedly blaming it as my indoor issue but declaining to share data supporting the claim. The local airtel store is supporting my claim of poor signal in greater noida.
                                  Now i may request your good office to direct airtel to restore 4g services in greater immediately or refund all the amounts i have paid till date. They should not charge me till they restore it.

                                        From past 2-3 days, i have been experiencing no signals on my airtel prepaid number. My number is on emergency mode and even after registering with airtel network, it seems to lose all the signal bars and switch back to emergency mode.
                                        I checked the airtel towers, but they seem to be having fine strength. Please look into this matter, and resolve my issue as soon as possible.
