    I had 2 prepaid numbers with airtel, [protected] and [protected]. Both were deactivated without notice, and the balances in the cards were not returned to me.

    I can't find an email channel to call airtel, nor a telephone number for airtel complaints, which i can call from overseas.

    There is no indication on airtel website as to how often the card has to be used to keep it active and in what mode — voice-call, sms etc.

    I have recharged 448 pack on yesterday and the network is so slow am not able to access internet from yesterday. Kindly check and assist if the issue persists I will port the number to some other network who provide good service.

      Ever since i landed in pondicherry my kolkata prepaid sims are not working properly. Sometimes incoming is ok but outgoing is not ok sometimes both are not ok. I can’t change numbers because they are given everywhere.in case of emergency people would not be able to contact me. Customer care here is not interested in helping any prepaid customer from anywhere in india. They insist on taking postpaid connection only then they will help. What is this? Nobody can force me to fulfill his/her company target. As it is anyone from non-tamil speaking background will have problem telling the situation they are facing with their mobile sims. Please help or suggest if i should change my service providers with immediate effect.

        Poor 4g connectivity in my area (Chennai 600078).
        Airtel is challenging 4g connectivity speed with other network in media but for god sake airtel please never try it in reality surelly you guys will loose with other networks.

        I have complained lot of times regarding 4g poor speed nothing is done from airtel end..

        I used to feel airtel is mass.. But nowadays it is worst.

          The porting request has been successfully completed and have my vodafone service stopped. But airtel sim is showing no service since past 8 hours after replacing the sim.
          The assigned time was 11pm last night but since then my number has been temporary out of service by airtel due to porting.

          Is this a joke by airtel? How can they keep a working number out of service for so long? It would lead so much inconvenience to the end user.
          I wonder this so claimed “sabse fast “ network is more of a “ sabse slow an poor customer service” network.
          Regretting my decision to convert it to airtel after reading similar complaints from users since 2 years they still haven’t improved here. How come they claim to be fastest network?
          #stop promoting non functional service providers
          # fake and stupid customer care.
          #121 or #198 doesn’t work and don’t accept user inputs.
          #airtel worst porting service ever

            I have ported my airtel himachal number [protected] to airtel punjab on 31.08.2018. My sim card got deactivated on 05.09.2018 at 23:30 hrs. I inserted new sim which is showing 3g network and tried to call 59059 numerous times for verification but the call gets disconnected every time. It's now more than 24 hours my number is deactivated. Please resolve.

              I did not opt for any value added services but my account balance got deducted by rs 70 (35+35) two times back to back for some service called "airg buzz india". I want my refund of rs. 70. I have experienced this previously as well.
              I want my money back as my balance as i didn't opt for any service. Hence, you cannot deduct any sum of money without my consent from my account balance.

                Last night at around 7.50 pm, i had visited the airtel gallery in lbs road which is located between bhandup and mulund. This is almost near to dunkun company bus stop in between bhandup and mulund. This is on the left hand side of the lbs road when you are travelling from bhandup to mulund. I visited this showroom last night at 7:50 pm when they were almost closing, i asked a executive who is short and fair and speaks marathi. I asked him whether he had a sim card, he asked me whether it was lost, i answered "no" i said i want to buy a new sim he said it will cost 300 rupees and it would cost minimum billing of 299, so i new he was talking about billing, i said i want a pre-paid sim card he told me they are not in stock, but still i asked him a price of it he told me 495/- (Four ninety five rupees) my grievance is would it be possible that a airtel gallery would not have a pre-paid sim and even if it was available would it cost 495/-. I bought a airtel sim last night (05/09/2018) from a local shop in bhandup village road for 250 rupees with unlimited talk time for 28 days and 1.4 gb data every day for 28 days. This is for your kind information, and look into the matter.

                  Airtel has a new service whatsmob. This service was activated without even being asked for enabling. Now on top of this we are being deducted of 300 rs on enabling this which i have never asked for.

                  I am feeling bad that without taking my consent whatsmob ie enabled and rs 300 has been deducted without my permission. I need the amount to be refunded as talk time as we never asked for enabling it and never used this app. My number is [protected]

                    Airtel digital :
                    Company has changed my yearly plans to monthly plans all by itself. It did not inform me or update me with the details. It just happened that i called up to complaint regarding the digital network issue and i was told regarding this. Airtel does not stand on its words.

                    Airtel mobile services :
                    I always face network issues and my mobile data hardly works but myairtel app displays 330.39 gb free and is being carried forward. Airtel does not work on issues and never mails the conversation details for further proof. The people out there hardly understand the conversation. They charged me wrong for my international roaming as well and did not refund the amount.

                            I'm not able to make calls. Evertime i make a call, it shows me that the call has ended even without connecting.😒 this is happening too frequently like every now and then. When ever this happens, i should restart my phone. This is very irritating. I have my talktime yet the calls won't get connected untill i restart the phone the signal indicator shows good signal strength yet i have the call connectivity issue. But i didn't face a problem in the internet service. Internet connection is good and working, i can receive calls too, but i can't make a call. This is really frustrating. Please fix this issue as early as possible.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                            I am also facing the same issue with my Airtel SIM card. Airtel has a very poor network in most parts of India. Whenever I make a call, the call abruptly ends even without making any attempt to dial in.

                            The only solution I have found so far is to flip the network between 2G 3G and restart the phone and move to another area where I can get 4 - 5 bars on the network strength.

                            For a moment I thought if my phone is bad but now from your experience I suspect it's Airtel's bad network that the real problem.

                            I suggest you also email gopal dot vittal at the rate airtel dot com he is the head of Airtel.

                              In the morning of 5th September 2018 I received a message that Rs.120 had been deducted from my Airtel Sim for activation of Adof games which was started at 3 am
                              I was shocked that what happened... my mobile was switched off at the time of activation of this service

                              When I made a call to the consumer helpline no. of Airtel for the complain
                              They started misbehaving and just deactivated the service

                              This is not a fair step by Airtel
                              I'm a customer of Airtel from last 6 years and yet they had not solved this problem

                                I am using airtel number as last 16-17 years and recently i went to international. For international i have activated only incoming calls and sms services and not attend any incoming calls but i have received huge bill as:

                                Total charges as per usage in international roaming : rs 112462/-

                                For calls, i took their local provider sim and using for calling and other services. For data usage, also were getting there local operator name and not getting airtel in data point.

                                My point if i have not activated data pack why airtel has activated on my number.

                                I told them i am ready to pay only domestic charges with activated rs. 149 pack charges.

                                Every time i am getting warring from them about disconnect my number if not pay full payment.

                                Please guide me to resolve my concern.

                                Thank you

O have checked all the network settings seems there's nothing wrong with it... What am i suppose to do? I even recharged my phone with a proper 4g pack however it's still shows no speed... I can't even search on google the internet speed is that slow...

                                    My mother received a message from airtel about activation of adofgames service for which she has been charged rs.120. It was not activated by her.
                                    To deactivate she followed the instructions as said in the message.
                                    The acknowledgement for same contained another stupid message

                                    Being not techno savvy & conservative in money matters she has not recharged the account with any more balance and has asked me to disconnect the airtel sim card. I will do the same but after getting the money back

                                      Dear sir/madam,

                                      I have recently changed an accommodation in the same society and raised a request for my airtel dth connection id : [protected] to shift to the new accommodation.

                                      Person came from airtel and un-installed my dth connection/aerial and suddenly disappeared and did not reinstalled to the new accommodation.

                                      But despite of so many request/complaint (Complaint no :[protected] from last 10 days (Approx), i did not received any response on my connection re-installation form airtel dth.

                                      Now i feel like i am cheated and been harassed by airtel.

                                      If airtel cannot provide service then they should return my connection + installation cost.

                                      Please help me with the needful.

                                      Thanks

                                        Dear sir,

                                        This is to inform you that we have three postpaid and prepaid airtel mobile numbers but we are not able to connect to bsnl landline numbers in himachal pradesh (Distt. Una, area - mubarakpur, amb) since last more than 6 months. We have raised this issue with airtel customer case but didn't get any satisfactory reply. Airtel customer care informed us that there is no issue at their end. On the other hand, bsnl (H. P., distt. Una, mubarakpur, amb) says, there is no issue at their end.

                                        Further, i would like to mention that dialing to bsnl landline to the said area is not possible even from your any airtel mobile numbers from ludhiana. We have got it cross verified by your different airtel stores in ludhiana. You can check it at your end also

                                        If we dial from other mobile operators, there is no such issue.

                                        Can somebody tell me why is it so???

                                        Hearing from you soon.

                                        With reference to the cited subject, this is to inform you that i got a service pack of rs.2999/- activated on my mobile number[protected] on 06.08.2018 for use in switzerland on 10-14 august, 2018 but i couldn't enjoy this facility during the said period. Only internet was working and that too at a very low speed. I couldn't send any sms and make any phone call.

                                        On 16th august and subsequently, i contacted the customer care office but didn't get any reply for the same. I have physically checked and verified from airtel authorized store that no sms and no outgoing phone calls were made through from the said service pack.

                                        - i have suffered a lot and it's my hard earned money
                                        - our all the numbers, wi-fi and dish are of airtel right from the begining
                                        - being such a big telecom and networking group, we expect 100% compensation because i coundn't get proper services
