I have raised complaint to Airtel through customer care on friday 13th July that DTH is not working, they gave me multiple slots that service engineer will visit and till today after 5 days none of the engineers visited and issue is still open. I have called more than 10 times to them but no response .Airtel always commited that they will send someone but its all false promises.Very pathetic service from airtel.

          My number was in safe- custody. I tried to extend my safe custody by paying its charge at myairtel website. At that time I came to know that my number is deactivated. I contacted customer care, they told my number has been deactivated and I need to reissue my number.

          As per rule if I had not paid safe custody charge, they should have started my services and charged on the basis of my plan. But they deactivated it on the day when my safe custody ended.

          In addition to that, they should have informed me when my safe custody was over and they will deactivate my sim. But hey never did.

          Now they want me to come to India from China to activate my SIM that is not feasible.

          I paid for safe custody only to keep my number, how can they deactivate it.
          This is totally against consumer rights. Airtel is doing whatever they want without giving prior information to consumers.

          I am using this number for the last 10 years. If I am not able to get my SIM reactivated then I will file for monetary compensation.

            This is regarding DTH services of AIRTEL. My airtel dish services are giving frequent problems. I have complained with customer care no. times but all times they said will send service engineer but always do not send any one. For the past 7 days my dth is not working and all my number of requests fail to work. Though my issue is pending, they are charging rental which is ridiculous. I am fed up with their services and un accountability to extend service. Important programmes like news, and .

                In my Airtel prepaid sim, there is neither incoming and outgoing of calls possible, nor messages are recieved and send. But Net is working. Internet is slow but still working.
                There is a seriously great problem of network for incoming and outgoing calls.
                So, please solve the problem as soon as possible because it's causing a great issue. Sometimes calls are working and sometime it's been cut by showing Call Ended.

                    I received a message last month and this month that a service called Famous Games has been activated and it deducted RS. 120 from my Airtel account. I deactivated the service but lost Rs. 240 to the service. I need my money back. The Airtel customer care executive Mr. Ajay Kumar did not understand my grievance and told me nothing can be done. I need a refund!

                      Hello sir,

                      This mail is regarding my number [protected]. Which I have been using since 2017 with Airtel earlier Idea And I decided to port to airtel considering the benefits and the status airtel carries But the episode I had with the customer care executive and the airtel store is making me regret that decision.

                      This started Month ago when due to some personal reason I was unable to pay the bill generated in the period of 3months. Due to which my outgoing was shut down which was fine by me.. Later on when I got time I paid my bill on 12/07/2018
                      I got the receipt and the thing was settled. However, my number was deactived since one month ago and when I contacted customer care about this, they assured me that's its temporary and will be fixed but they did not. I also visited the store and they told me this number can not be release now. As far as I am concerned, any number gets blocked when it is not used for over 3 months and I am sure that wasn't the case.

                      I approached the Airtel store located in Navyug Market Ghaziabad uttar pradesh 5 times to be exact between 10am to 7pm and to my dismay, they were rude, unwilling to help and straight up told me that they won't do anything and refused any explanation or help. Same goes with the customer care executives.

                      I would like to mention that I have a firm and other business and as I have mentioned before also, I have been using this number for the past 20 years and I think you would understand how important this number is for me and my business.

                      So I would like you to kindly look in the matter as this is really important for me and fix this matter as soon as possible and restore my faith in airtel brand.

                      Yours truly

                                Your services have become Worst for the last one week. We have to dial at least 3 to 4 times to get the talk clear. It has been becoming one way on majority of time & it irritates the consumers. If you can not provide the services for which you were famous before the Jio Telecommunication entered the communication Network, then you should tell your unhappy consumers for porting their numbers.

                                  Airtel activates some unasked for service periodically and deducts substantial amounts each time. They provide a number 1552230 for stopping the unasked for service but never refund the money deducted. Recently they deducted 35 rupees out of my balance for activating an ICON service but did not refund the 35 rupees later after I requested the service to be stopped. Isn't this plain stealing. This is not the first time. No wonder some people in our country drive around in cars costing crores. Imagine how much money airtel made by stealing 35 rupees from each of its at least 1 to 10 lakh or I am sure more subscribers.

                                        Its has become habit with Airtel to inflate my mobile bills for mob. No. [protected]. Last month also, artificially inflated bill was rectified after a complaint was registarad on this portal. It seems repeated negligence on the part of Airtel, might be due to malafide intention to earn profit by deliberately inflating bills.
                                        A proof of it is the written acceptance of faulty bill on the part of Airtel just last month & then rectifying it?
                                        Again this month, an inflated bill for Rs.1256 against plan of Rs 399 was generated specifying wrong charges.
                                        I request the competent authority to penalise appropriately M/s Airtel for causing undue harassment to customers!!!
