    I had raised a porting request for my number from jio to airtel on 15/06/2018. I was ported out of jio on 21/06/2018 but services in airtel has not resumed till date i. E 24/06/2018. I have raised multiple complaints to airtel care and i always get the same reply of technical issue. I have even sent warning mails to airtel however of no use.
    In this digital world this kind of failure on the part of renowned telecom operators like airtel are highly shameful. I am facing heavy financial losses on a daily basis due to this. I would request a sincere effort on this front.

        Hi,
        I have created a port request in airtel to change to other network and customer care person called me to enquire about the issue then ask to contact the nodal officer, i didn't ask them to cancel my port request but airtel cancelled my port request without any reason. This is like they are compelling customers to use airtel and i am paying my money don't i have right to choose my network?
        Their customer care didn't know the reason why they cancel the port request. I want to port out of airtel kindly help

            Dear airtel,

            Even though i register for dnd am getting continuous calls regarding personal loans like that. Instead they tell like your number is received from airtel only and they tell your number is in data. I want to know how our numbers are going out. Kindly register a complaint on the numbers from which am getting calls. 1. Nikhil - [protected], 2. Ramesh - [protected] and they tell they call from capital first. Instead they call from mobile numbers. Where is the implementation of trai guidelines? Kindly reply me on how i am getting calls even though i register for dnd?

                Website: www.airtel.in

                I tried to see my offers on the official website of airtel. I entered my number and it showed me a offer of rupee 149 with unlimited calling, 100 sms per day and 1gb data per day. I went to the retailer he also saw the same offer and recharged my prepaid plan. Then what i observed that the speed is pathetic and when called in customer care they told me the offer was different in which i get only 250 mb data and airtel to airtel free.
                Why would i care airtel to airtel free and just 250 mb data in this date when every network is giving me plenty of data.
                They showed me wrong info on the official website.
                They claim to be the fastest network but i checked myself my other network is much faster.
                Please help because that is how they are doing fraud with public.

                  I had done the recharge of 399 on my airtel number [protected] and after that by mistake i had done the recharge again of 99. But they are giving me only the benefit of my 399 recharge. But the pack of 99 must be started after the ending of the pack of 399. This thing is happened with me with other operator also (Jio) but they first finish the one plan than start the another. Please sir take the strict action against airtel. They are just fooling the customer for there benefit.
                  Sir i had tried to solve the issue by calling them but refuse to do anything to help me

                    A month ago, internet speed of airtel was pretty good. But since last month suddenly don't know why, the speed had dropped to the point where even sending a small message is a days work. It has become really frustrating can't send any messages or photos or even if someone sends me one it takes hours to download the content. The internet is very very slow. Please take this into consideration and do something about this.

                          I am getting theses sms from a$tfarot about some calls being done eversince i have returned from abroad, and there is actual deduction of money from my account also. I tried to call airtel about this but the foolish guy at the other end tried to tell me that if i make calls then money is deducted.
                          I have lost much of my balance in this nonsense in this month and waiting whether this will end..

                            My airtel prepaid number from karnataka is not working since day before yesterday neither incoming nor outgoing but internet pack is working properly. I tried to call customer care 121, 198 and many more number but none of them working cannot call anyone from my airtel network. Kindly see the matter and try to fix it as soon as possible it is urgent.
                            Thanks regard.

                              Actually i have put a unlimited pack of 99 on jun 19 2018 (Unlimited calls + 100 sms free per day + 1 gb net for one month) for my mobile number [protected]. And my main account balance on jun 19 2018 is 35 rupees. But on jun 21 2018 amount of 15 is deducted for net usage actually i have data of 800mb in unlimited pack then how come you can deducted amount of 15 for net usage. Why you are cheating like this. I need a refund of my amount, i have all kind of proof to this.

                                I raised a complaint under device claim insurance last week. And my claim was rejected with the reason. Saying the accidental slipping of phone from my hand is not a valid reason for claim. Saddest service by airtel.
                                Really very poor service from airtel. Now i am going to consumer court and file a case for harrashment. Looking forward to approach legally.

On tge very same day i called the 198 no of complaints and they told me and confirmed me that one transaction which got accepted is currently on the run for 90 days and after the finish of this plan the recharge of other 509 rs recharge of icici debit card will start automatically and i dont have to recharge again that means i will be having 180 plan as per then but yesterday my plan of 90 days got finish up and i was waiting as when the second 509rs plan is going to start but when it didnt i called 198 one more time and now they told me as sir you recharged your account twice and one got recharged and the other one we took it because you gave it to us and i have the proof as recording of this phone call and even i have the recording of that phone call also which i made to 198 on 23 of march when they said as the second plan will aoto start automatically, so i juat want my money back of 509 rs which i did from icici debit card and which they took and now not returning.

                                        I have recharged my no [protected] with rs.399.00 for 84 days plan but there is no speed found how airrel claims 4g speed when i am seeing logo h or e always in my lenevo k5
                                        Airtel must check it asap or i will port out all the airtel nos to another.

                                        I am surprised with the services of airrel they send sms for special recharge offers e. G. Recgarge with rs.8.00 and get facilities of call rates @.30paise for 84 days or 70 days but aftet 7 days they again start sending sms that your.30 paise ola is expiring today. They are cheating us or what they are doing.
