I have been making several complaints over a period of almost 10days for my connection to be restored.
Service was suspended because of insufficient balance. But at the time of recharge the plan was for one full year. No customer care or whatever team they say is working on it seems to be responding positively. Wait 48hours is the usual feedback. So it looks like this 48hour business will carry on till next April.

    I visited the nearest airtel center near me, which by the way is approximately 20 kms away and requested for a postpaid to prepaid conversion. I was asked to submit a copy of my aadhar card which i did. The photocopy of the aadhar card was as clear as it could be and still the company executives refused to accept it! I felt that they were doing that on purpose, like they did not want to do that. This is very shameful on the part of the company for providing such a lousy service to its customers.

      I have been facing issues with my postpaid Airtel SIM for the past three days. I called the customer care for many times complaining about the same. After many calls Customer care confirmed that there is a problem with the SIM and suggested me to go to an Airtel Store to get a duplicate SIM. As suggested i went to the airtel store and got my duplicate SIM by 12:45 pm today(06/08/2018). The store executives told me that the SIM will be activated in another 4 hours. But it's been 5 hours now and still not activated.

      I am suffering a lot with no service for the past three days, that too for a postpaid service. Please resolve it as soon as possible or i have no other choice than to go for another Telecom service.

      I went to the airtel store again and they said like they have a server problem and will resolved in another 2 hrs. But it wasn't. Finally it was activated after 18 hrs.

        I bought 4g hotspot from a nearby airtel showroom. And paid rs.4200 for 6 months plan. From january to june, by june 28 i stopped using it. Now after a month they have sent a due bill for rs.825 saying that i must pay it, no matter whether i'm using it or not. And i wasn't informed about this while buying the device or plan. Now they started calling me daily for several times to pay it.

              Dear friends please don't use airtel secure its completely waste of money . i did for my handset... After my handset got damaged the insurance was not claim to my handset and the answer was given by them was so stupid from airtel customer care. airtel customer care executive was asking me why don"t u take care of your handset because of that only your phone got damaged, for this reason we don"t provide insurance. i am asking only one question if i they want me to take care of my handset with that so care, then y the hell i should invest my money on insurance called airtel secure.

                      charging money for toll free numbers

                      Address: Bangalore, Karnataka
                      Website: www.airtel.in

                      Althought toll free numbers should not be charged, airtel charges for all toll freee numbers begining with 1860. Since most of the people who are working in this country are professionals we have to join conference calls from the us. Most of these numbers begin with 1860.

                      I would like to file a grievance against airtel for charging their customers on toll free numbers...

The sales girl who called me with respect to my online request and made me to pay online on 4th august and promised to give connection on 5th august. But after payment she hasn't responded to any of the calls or replied to my queries.
                            I feel like i have lost my money. Please help me to get the connection done as soon as possible. My details are as below.

                              I had recharged my phone for 149 rupees on 22nd july 2018. It has unlimited calls. I received a confirmation message too. But whenever i'm trying to call it says my balance is below 10 rupees so i cannot make an outgoing call.. And on airtel site it doesnt show that my last recharge was on 22nd july... It shows 20th june.. Which was my second last recharge. Pls help

                                      Subject: my roaming recharge ₹1200 had been wasted because the plan has not activated

                                      I had been your airtel customer since many years. Recently i have recharged for roaming to both china and nepal for ₹1200 (Unlimited incoming call and 250 min outgoing) in your airtel office and before recharging i have asked them twice they said that it will definitely work. After reaching to china the calls were not outgoing nor incoming. I had faced many problem since i couldn’t contact to india to my home so to inform i have reached there and ther very important calls to other people. Through other phone i have called to your airtel office who made recharge he said that if you add additional ₹500 main balance it will work again i asked them twice, they said surely it will work but the amount got deducted ₹100 for 1 min.
                                      Now i’m in india i went to the same airtel office they are saying that they couldn’t help me. If i won’t get my ₹1200 + ₹500 back i will soon file a complaint against you people for cheating me in this way and because of no phone calls i had faced many problems there.
                                      I request you to kindly return my money back immediately.
