    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
    Anurag Jain

      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.

                My airtel wallet ([protected]) was debited by airtel by 1060/- to pay landline bill for [protected] on 18th august.

                But it is not reflected in my bill.
                Either sunil mittal is a cheat as millions of indians say that sunil mittal and airtel are cheats.

                Or airtel wallet is highly inefficient and a failure that it is unsafe to do airtel wallet transactions.

                This is highly shameful that i have called airtel billing for last 3 days but no help

                    Hi team,

                    I am using airtel prepaid number since last 13+ years.

                    As i am using this number internationally and it is linked to all my accounts in india and aadhar as well, i upgraded it into 4g sim yesterday.

                    My sim is getting activated in 4 hours but since then i am not receiving any messages and otp due to which unable to do any transactions.

                    So this morning i called to customer care and inquired regarding this but the lady executive is not having proper information and talked with very disrespectfully which is not at all expected from customer care executive.

                    Her senior gave me required information and apologies for her behavior.

                    Hope customers like me who sticks with airtel since very long will not experience the same.

                    Regards,

                    Sudhir bansode

                      Despite of several call to customer care they didn't provide me the bill because they know that the amount charged by the technician was totally wrong.
                      I want to go in consumer court please advise.

                        Hi Airtel,

                        This is Hari Prasath, regarding frequent disconnection in my broadband internet connectivity. My number is[protected]. My registered mobile number is [protected].

                        It's been 3 times(in 3 months), I've raised complaint regarding the frequent disconnection. Technicians keep visiting my premises and solving the problem temporarily. Even if they resolve, there are frequent disconnection happening and the connection is back online after a minute or 2. I'm not able to use the internet continuously. I'm a frequent Skype caller.

                        I called the customer care to get help. Whenever I'm calling them, they are just raising the complaint. But no permanent resolution for the issue. And the way the floor supervisor talking to me is not pleasant. Or I can say, they are not trying to helping me out. They say, 'When you get frequent disconnection, how can you use 250GB of data in one month?'.
                        Here I'm sensing, they are not beveling me that I'm saying, I'm getting service disconnection frequently. I'm not sure, whether the supervisor understanding the problem or not. If the service is getting disconnected once or twice in 3 hours(which is the actual problem), in the remaining hours, is that not possible to consume GBs of data in a month of time? I don't understand what they are talking. And because of so many times interruption in service, I'm not able to use the internet properly. I asked them to close the account(though a customer to Airtel for more than 10 years). They were saying, 'We can give your waive off in the bill.' And they saying, you have raised complaint for 3 times, so we going to waive off 3 days of bill, which comes around 100+. Seriously? Then, whenever there is disconnection happening and coming back online, who gonna calculate for those?

                        There were 2 people, Mr. Bhaskar and Mr. Karthik. Very unpleasant to customers. Being a 'Airtel Premium member', I'm getting this type of treatment, I'm not sure about the other customers. Or I should be a new customer, so that I may get good treatment?.

                        I want you to take this complaint seriously and provide me a permanent solution or I need to talk to some higher level officials regarding this issue.

                          Hi sir/mam,
                          This is anantha kumar and my airtel mobile number is [protected]. I have sent port message to 1900 then i received port unique number from airtel 15 days back. I submitted to my finger print details to idea agent but my mobile network is not changed from airtel to idea. I talk with airtel customer care executive but he told we already submitted to my side. Next i talk with idea customer care executive but he told we are not received any documents from airtel. Again yesterday[protected] i sent port message to 1900 (Airtel) then i received new port unique number from airtel. Again today[protected] i submitted to my finger print details to idea agent but it showing already progress state. Last 15 days it showing your mobile number porting status is progress. So please solve this issue from airtel. Airtel is not moving another network (Idea). Airtel is locking my number when sent port message. I can't stay with airtel mobile network. So please solve this problem.

                            From past one month airtel has been providing poor internet connection. Its providing the speed of 2g instead of 4g (As per plan). Unable to browse and download things due to poor connections. Not even able to load airtel app. Unable to do any work online due to lack of connectivity. Kindly work upon this otherwise soon porting will be the only solution. Immediate solution is required.

                                  I've been trying to downgrade my plan from last four weeks but no go. I've visited your Airtel Shop here in phase 5 Mohali multiple times but they are always routing me to your helpline number[protected]

                                  On the helpline I've tried entering both the Airtel mobile [protected], Relationship number: [protected] but it keeps on asking for some account number which I'm unable to find in the bill, App. This is very disturbing with the type of Name you guys have. This service is turning out to be more of a regret now.

                                  I would request you to downgrade my services to 2 gb daily plan. Thanks!

                                  Best Regards,

                                      Recently lost my airtel sim prepaid -[protected] which was earlier in my sister's name. Contacted airtel store at beltola, survey, ghy, but they refused to allot a new prepaid sim with the same no even though providing of docs of my sister. They told that customer has to visit the store themselves... Or give an noc of converting the connection to my name... But in that case also they can only provide a postpaid sim with the same no with activation fees of 250. Also mentioned that if i wish to covert the new postpaid sim to prepaid then i have to use the postpaid connection for 6 months. So in that way i am being forced to convert the prepaid to postpaid, even though i didn't like the conversion at all. This all is carrying bad name for airtel, for whom i am a prepaid customer since 2010. Hope this writing of me be addressed by authority concerned and not to repeat this deceptive marketing policy to other customers who might follow with the same problem. Thanking u... Mrinal konwar
