I received call from your various partners for porting additional number of my son. I asked one of them to take it forward. She promised that in my existing family plan of 649/- in addition to existing child number, I can add additional number without any additional rental. I realise later that Your business partner has cheated me by giving wrong information to port my sons mobile number [protected] under family plan. As per pre porting discussion she promised no additional rentals for adding this second child number with my number [protected]. After porting formalities she changed the communication and informed that there will be additional rental of 199.

Refer the attached screenshot.

Needs conclusive action to be taken
Airtel agents are taking us for granted...

Someone should put a control on this uncontrolled game
I would be interesting to see what action Airtel is going to take on such unethical business practices...
I received call from Airtel. Only lip service without any action. They have not yet taken my complaint.

            Hi this is priti an airtel user.
            From last few days i am getting messages from a$-tfarot dat [call cost is 0.30 duration 10.30 bal. 0.00].
            This is deducting my balance. If this continues i will stop using airtel.
            There so many complaints i see on the same and no has any clue who is sending this sms or how its been triggering. This is annoying. Company should take this seriously. Please ask them to fix this as soon as possible.
            If this continues company may lose customers.

              Though i didn't activate the adof games subscription they activated it and and rs 120 get deduced from my balance and when i connected to help line number, they commented that your balance wool be refunded and some if them said that it wouldn't and today when i called them after one day then they said that your balance wouldn't be refunded... What the hell.. Without any action of activation from our side they reduced the balance on their own... Is this what they do with customers... Really hateful airtel...!!!

                Internet is not working, although the system shows it is connected to internet, unable to open even the basic websites like google. Can't even open the airtel dongle homepage. The connection has been like this for last three days, dated 25th june, 2018. Network coverage shows availability of airtel 4g network on my mobile but the dongle isn't working anymore. Please check it asap or kindly shutdown my connection.

                    Without choosing any service on airtel I got a message stating "Thanks for choosing WHATSMOB on your Airtel Mobile. You have been charged Rs35.0 for 7days. This is not the first time. I faced the problem previously also. Same 35rs got deducted. Airtel is regarded as a big service provider and if this is the case, switching to an other network is good. So I want a refund of 35+35=70 rupees immediately.

                        The incoming calls are not available on my number. Whenever tried by anyone theres is always a computerised voice saying that the number is not reachable or out of coverage area. Please look into the matter as soon as possible. There is no problem in outgoing or in data services but i'm just not getting any incoming call. Please resolve this problem as soon as possible.

                          I had done a complaint to airtel customer care via mail and call before 10 month. each and every time they are telling about the open network team but till the time I didn't receive any call from their side . I'm using the same sim for last 6 years . I am facing this issue from last 10 months then also the team is not responding nor doing anything to improve the network . Its only seems that the airtel is telling a lot about open network systems are all fake . I'd lost total trust in airtel and I planned to switch to other network .

                          Thanks

                            For the past 1 week i am having a problem with the network. There are lots of calls that i am unable to receive even though ppl have called me multiple times. This is ridiculous as it's getting difficult to communicate effectively. I hope that you could resolve this asap. The worst part is i m not even able call the support center.. I would request immediate action on this.

                                  I am from a town in a. P. I checked in airtel open networks service whether my area got 4g service and it shown my area has very fast 4g coverage but i can't use 4g network on my 4g mobile when i turn on the data it shows 4g after some time (3 to 5 min) 4g will become 3g coverage. If i turn the data off and turn it on again it was again the same issue. This is ridiculous and i have complained already about the issue and didn't get a reply

                                  i am using airtal Sim long time but my mobile call rate is very high and 198 custamer care number is not proper working.
                                  Im yasin mahida dear airtel presence this conversation is genuine (i"ve seen the timeline myself) i refuse to pay another penny to a company that condones such blatant bigotry I'm beginning the process of porting my number to another service provider & canceling my DTH & Broadiband
                                  Custom care not deals with consumer
                                  I've ported my no.[protected] from company paid to personal paid airtel and i've also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number. I couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service.

                                    I have been paying my bills on time for more than 2 yrs. Last month i missed the payment by 2 days. For that a late fee of 100rs is too high.
                                    I request airtel to make this an exception and withdraw this penalty.

                                    Dongle number: [protected]

                                    As it is included in this months bill, i have to pay it avoid another late fee. So, please refund the amount!

                                    Also, airtel makes it very difficult to reach a customer service representative. Its customer care numbers are all automated. The chat only supports for postpaid accounts. And there is no email/page to post complaints.
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                    My phone number is [protected].Once I am crossing home state there is no network connection.I have given complaint twice.Twice they assured my problem will get resolved but so far nothing has been done.

                                      Sir,
                                      Myself renuka a customer of airtel prepaid with phone number [protected] from gulbarga, karnataka state.

                                      I am facing severe network issues like i am not getting 4g speed internet access even after recharging for 4g. There is always issue network issue while calling and messaging.

                                      Most of the times messages are failed to delivered.

                                      In order to overcome this i thought to port to other network, but even port message is not being delivered.

                                      Kindly provide me the solution
