Dear airtel,

I’ve given port in request to airtel on 20th july 2018 from vodafone. On 24th july 2017 vodafone has accepted the same and airtel has sent sms stating dear customer your porting request for mobile no. [protected] to airtel has been validated by vodafone (Gsm). The number will be ported-in to airtel by 24th july 2018 22:23 pm. The second sms states once your mobile displays no network, please insert the airtel sim in your handset and call 59059 to verify your details (Received both the sms at 08:31pm on 24th july 2018).

By 10.30pm my mobile displays no network and i’ve inserted airtel sim but sim not able to catch the signal.

If i dial my number from other number i get ivr msg that the number does not exist, please check the number.

Till now i’m getting the same error message.

I tried calling airtel customer care (5 times) but no use no one responded properly and cut the call.

Now i’m thinking why i’ve ported to airtel where there is no value for end users.

Why you have disconnected the vofafone network when you are not able give your network?

I want full explanation on this.

What is the time frame for port in process when you fixed the time at 10:23 pm port in process will start?

Is this right process to approach the port in process?

Can i get time limit that my number will be activated/grant the permission for network?

Due to ignorance of airtel i’ve missed important calls from my client and my manager. I did n’t expected this from airtel.

And we are calling to customer care, they ignore the our complaints and do not give any updates of our complaints. It is very unexpectable activities shows by company and i'm suffering these problems from many times and they charge money o[censored]nexpected big amount and we are give these amount on timely but they are not hear any problem

        My number is +91 [protected], whenever anybody calls me or i call anybody, the person at the opposite end is not able to hear me. This is only because of airtel network issues and i am facing this for the last 2 months.
        I also checked my headset inserting other network provider sims but all are working except this airtel sim.

        Requesting strict action from your end in resolving network issues as it is very difficult to reach a person when i am in serious need of somebody.

              Hi i am shivaji, mob no [protected]
              When i decided to leave airtel so i made request for port to another network.
              Immedeatly after that i received message and call from airtel about new offer rc 99 i will get unlimited call and 30gb data with validity of 28days at 2.11on on 23 jul 2018.
              Based on that i made recharge with 99. But i did not get the same offer. When i made a contact with customer care regarding this, they said above offer was not eligible on my mobile no, even i clearly told them that i have received sms they did not help me. I really had worst experience with airtel customer care representatives (Ramu and bala gopal) they are simply saying data is not updated we cannot do anything.
              If customer care service is not able to help customers then when can customet get help? And where can customer can be compensate for their losses?
              Screeshots of messages received and recharge made attached here.
              I hope i will get help regarding this.

                        I had network issue on 24/07/2018 since 10am. I went to airtel outlet which is on dindayal road, dombivli west - 421202. There was a guy whose name is sopan. I asked him about network issue. He said network issue will resolve in half n hour. So i was waiting in airtel outlet. After some time he started using bad words n threaten me. After some time lady entered in office who was franchise owner. Then he started shouting at me n that lady too was taking his side only. What kind of behaviour is this in service industry? I really felt very low that i am paying for service and if any issue arise we can not even talk about it.

                          Sir,

                          We the steel authority of india ltd, central marketing organisation, eastern region is having corporate tie-up with airtel for cug mobile connection. All the connections had been taken from airtel store at 46, everest house, j. L. Nehru road, kolkata-71. We are regularly making payment to the monthly bills raised by you within due date through neft. The utr numbers are also being confirmed to your above store. Inspite our regular payment within due date, one of your executive sri dibyendu chakraborty often send message to the subscriber bearing mobile no: [protected], sri goutam ghosh, who is in the general manager of our company.

                          Today, at around 1.30 pm he send an sms in quite offensive language stating that "if this number is so important than why you not make the payment on time??? Immediately after 2 minutes he send another message"i have bar your number, please, make payment of rs 13680.53/- and call me to unbar the line. Thereafter, i spoke to your executive sri dibyendu chakraborty and found that your people didn't update the payment details in your system, for which your subscriber steel authority of india ltd is not responsible. This i have explained to him, but i was very shocked with his behaviour and his language. Rather, he threatened to disconnect the above line. Therefore i would like to know, is this your ethics and also like to know is it the way you behave with your customer.

                          Hence, i am hereby request to kindly take appropriate action at your end and try to provide satisfactory service.

                          Thanking you

                                Airtel is the worst mobile operator. I switched from aircel to airtel, it was my worst decision I ever made. Every time I try to open a page on my mobile or even with computer connected with wifi. It always redirects to one.airtel.in/reconfig page. Very disturbing.

                                I can not do any single work with their internet service. I called to the customer care, they are saying they we have removed it. Please visit our airtel store.

                                Now this is a daily issue, so they want me to visit their airtel store everyday by leaving all my important work.

                                Their mobile app is highly buggy, everytime i recharge i get double cut, double data get recharged & when I try to use the data pack, I can not because of this airtel stupid redirection thing.

                                I called to the customer care, to refund my money or solve my issue. They cut my phone.

                                I lost my money (Rs.98 + Rs.48), but it is a lesson, I will soon transfer my number to other mobile operator.

                                Airtel is SCAM COMPANY. Never use their services, especially if you are targeting to use their data pack or internet services.

                                  We wonder how untrained staff is sitting at Airtel Office. Whenever we remind they demand GST related documents again and again. We have already got confirmation of registering GST numbr 4 times from your side but number are not put up on bills/ not getting credits in GSTR 2.

                                  Please note we are entitled to get GST credit from you since from July 2017. It is therefore requested to either credit GST amount from July 2017 or send us cheque of same amount otherwise we shall have no alternative except to put up our claim with District Consumer Forum.

                                  Please note we are taking up this matter from July 2017 itself to your department on mail ID [protected]@in.airtel.com; and [protected]@in.airtel.com. Please check from your mails

                                    Sir,
                                    This is to notify you that on 18th july i had asked for activation of my international roaming for 10 days costing 1199 which was unsuccessful on the first attempt. On calling up the customer care they asked me to recharge again and so i did but i still didn't receive the message for activation. So i called up the customer care again and they said both the packs have been activated and so i asked for refund for the first one which they are reluctant to give me now which is really unjustified on your part!
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                    I recharged my airtel number using the online recharge app worth rs 199 the balance deducted from account but recharge was not successful. I am being fooled by your executive.no response from your side. Worst network i hav ever seen.

                                      I was getting calls from this number by name of priyanka as airtel executive +[protected], for porting the number.
                                      I was in favour of the plan offered and accepted the offer. Airtel executive dropped sim at my address and did formalities of sms and all to 1901 for port.
                                      On which i got call from my service provider and they offered me even better plan than airtel. So i declined the airtel request for further go ahead to port my number.
                                      Now this girl priyanka calls me today and behaved very unethical and abrupt in the language and also threaten me that she will make my number discontinue.
                                      I want to make complaint against her for her behaviour and language. Airtel is an esteemed company and its ridiculous to hear such behaviour of its executive.
                                      Kindly help me in the above matter.

                                        Just a while ago received a message from airtel that adofgame has been activated in my phone which i never knew about it. They deducted my acc balance of rs 120 for the same. I want my refund of the balance decucted from my phone acc balance.
