First of all, i'd like to put this to your notice, that airtel has been playing with it's customer by simply activating services without the notice of the customer. Sadly for the past few days, a service called icon service has been deducting my balance. I tried every possible way to stop this service, however airtel is not giving me any option to stop this service.
Please look into this matter.

    We have to inform you that we have ten connections ([protected], 32, 34...)under CUG. But we are facing lot of problem regarding network last one (1) year .

    We have already lounged so many complaints regarding network. But the problem is as it is. All the time your Technical team solve it only for two or three days and after three days problem is same .No one solve our problem.

    I think airtel is one of the most worst mobile networks company in our area and also you have no any trained technical person, who solve our problem

    Please confirm us whether our network problem solve or not

        This network is so ### that for an otp you have to go outside of your house. You can't talk inside your house. If you want to talk walk for 500 meters to get the network. Forget the 4g. There is no G at all. Worst airtel with a poor management which can be seen while entering to this side. Below 30% customer satisfaction rate. What a performance by BHARTI enterprises and Bharti Mittal. #worstAirtel #[censored]Airtel #poorBhartiEnterprises

        They are playing with you. I appeal to everyone stop using airtel network and other products of airtel. I recharge each month free pack. But full of money goes to there account and I don't even get a chance to talk for 1 hr per month. How bad it is you guys can imagine. Not even an hour per month I can talk. Because there is no network in most places of Bangalore. There is no internet services in most places of Bangalore. You can't be able to see 4g internet on your mobile. Nonsense useless network and company. 😤😡

          I am not getting internet service on my airtel mobile connection at all at my residence in sector 47 gurgaon since last 2 months. I have already registered my complaint but airtel did not provide any resolution and when i called them after 10 days they said they will look into it and not sure how much time it will take. When i asked them any tentative date they said it may take 1 week or 1 month too. On my request their representative visited my place any took all the technical details on hi equipment and said even he is not sure if someone will resolve it or it may take forever too. I did tweet too for the issue and got a message from airtel person to call customer care which i already did long back.

          My question is, if they are charging me full money since last 2 months then why i am not getting the expected service.

          FYI, I and many of other people have already made many complaints many times to customer support and as per so called customer support they do not know when this issue will be resolved. If this is the resolution you guys provide on your forum by forwarding complaints to the people who cause the problem then it would be better if you scrap this forum. Utter useless !

              My airtel set up box doesn't get any current supply. Even after i switch on the power supply, the set up box doesn't get turned on. So, the box doesn't start. And hence, there is no connection to the tv. This issues persists since 15 days and the the customer care people are not helping. They haven't come for repairing even after repeatedly asking them.

                My name is srinivas and i am airtel customer since more than 10 yrs (Too bad). I had a problem sending sms (Outgoing only) and not a single network engineer at airtel customer care is able to solve it since 4 months. I think airtel doesn't care about their customers anymore except takes their money month over month promptly. Stop showing ads about no 1 data/network provider and start addressing customer care issues. Hope some one bothers to respond

                Regards,
                Srinivas p

                  I had taken international roaming of rs 149 as per which 1gb 3g/4g data was included for 28 days. However i have been charged rs 649 for every single day. Please clarify as 12, 940.79 bill even when i am on international roaming is not making any sense to me.

                  If the package was for 149 why i am charged 649 every day?

                    I took data plan "29 inr for 150mb 30days" a month ago.
                    Yesterday i got message that my plan renew automatic and 29 inr deducted from my account.
                    This happen without my consent. This morning same thing happen again.
                    So finally i got 300mb for 58 inr 30 days.
                    When i took that plan it's nowhere mention that it is auto renew every month.
                    I call customer care they give me a no. *129*000# to deactivate this auto-renewal but refuse to give me refund.
                    The thing is airtel deducted my balance without my concern at all.
                    All i got a message that my balance deducted.
                    I want airtel deactivate data plan 29 inr two time (Total 58 inr) and refund me the same immediately into my main account.

(i also mail the same thing to them) PS- they said that all airtel data pack auto renew at last date(though it's nowhere mention & that's the whole point) so if anyone reading this when you activate airtel data pack use *129*000# to deactivate data pack auto renewal. this auto renewal can't be found on *121# (start/stop a service) -(mail address i found on their official website.) thanks guy you are the best :)

                            Hi
                            i'm P R VENKATESH. when i was living in Raichur, I had purchased an Airtel sim with a number [protected] and was actively using it till 2010 or so. But in 2010 Airtel relationship center office frustrated me for over 6 months over address proof id proof inspite of submitting same physically to the office. when they didnt heed my request to activate my pre-paid connection, i was so fed up and just purchased a new sim.

                            But surprisingly airtel has allotted a number purchased in my name to someone from karnataka. I feel being cheated by this organisation .

                            I have purchased a new sim reliance sim [protected]. I want an explanation from Airtel for allotting my mobile sim number to someone else. if the same number is cancelled and allotted to me, even now im willing to accept it. otherwise I wish to drag Airtel company to court seeking compensation for making me suffer all these days by cancelling allotted phone number to me.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                              My number is [protected].

                              I am not able to send SMS for three weeks.

                              I complained but got no solution from customer care.

                              Please look into this and solve the issue.

                              I tried restarting my mobile device. But didn't help.

                              I updated the messaging app on my mobile. It didn't help as well.

                              I tried messaging to different numbers. But the problem persists.

                                Airtel is a ### ### fraud network. its a fraudulent company providing 2G service on the name of 4G. its a traitor lier company with ### intentions to lure us to pay for what they are not providing. they are telling big big lies on tv advertisements about there garbage fraud company. they are useless all over indian useless garbage network. it must get suspended and atleast get ban in jharkhand region for providing garbage fraud ### service. i request TRAI and jharkhand government to please ban airtel in jharkhand because it is useless garbage and fraud company. they are not providing 4G service rather taking money of 4G. all garbage services must get trashed out by ban. Airtel deserves to be flushed out for providing garbage poor service and taking the price of high speed. i really request every indian to never ever switch to airtel ### fraudulent service. they are ### money suckers vampires they never care about there ### poor service rather only money. they are taking money from every indian as a fraud organization by providing us useless garbage ### service. we must switch to other high speed telecom network rather then this ### fraud traitor of this country.

                                  I have ported my number [protected] from Vodafone to Airtel. But there is no signal in that sim and my old number has stopped already. I am loosing my business calls and I am going to consumer forum against it.
                                  This is such a bad service for postpaid users like us. We wholly depend on our phone.

                                  Your associates keep bugging us about your plans and finally when we try it we have to face this. I urge you to start my number immediately

                                    I am Dr. Subhro Sekhar Sircar, Phone numbers are 89021844 and [protected]. I have prepaid connection and using the unlimited package of Rs. 448/-
                                    Both the numbers have similar problems. Call drops, voice breaking, suddenly disconnects. I have 4G phones and 4G prepaid package. Internet connectivity is extremely poor. It is less than even 2G, most of the time no connection, download takes hours and roaming connection is also poor. 4G connection should have blazing speed. I have complained about your service couple of times to the Airtel Customer Care but no action was taken. Today I have to take separate Internet connection from a different service provider although I have 4G unlimited package. This has caused me heavy loss of time, money.

                                    I considering two options:
                                    1. Change the service
                                    2. Before that go to Consumer Court and claim compensation.

                                      The worst network till now. I have recharged for 4G data services and in return i am getting none. There are no 4G network towers in this area as proposed by your open network team. Either i need my money back or the company needs to install 4G tower as soon as possible. I make sure that this issue reaches to your competitor "jio" and other network operators as well.

                                      It's not just 4G, there are issues even on 3G with Airtel in my area in Pune. When I push my phone to 3G network, many a times I just get 1 Bar and poor network. Sometimes the network completely disappears and I am off the network.

                                      For me despite having high end phone, I can only use 2G relatively properly in Pune. Airtel network is indeed bad.

                                        I have 2 Airtel nos out of which one number had been ported from Vodafone few months back. Now both the nos are in roaming.
                                        Its very strange that both numbers can't make call to each other. I called Airtel customer care after all basic checks i.e. blacklist, block calls, reboot etc. Customer care mentioned "one of the number has call divert when it is unreachable and hence its not working". I disagreed though on this point but I had removed the divert while on the call, but still its not working.

                                        Rather than giving/providing appropriate solution, customer care associate left by saying it will work after 30 mins.

                                        Now my problem remain same, while roaming I am unable to make call from one nuber to other number and vice-versa.

                                        I tried changing handset as well, if there is any issue with handset, but found no issue. And I can make calls to all other nos except my 2 numbers.
