I have been a airtel customer for almost 10 years now and recently moved to uk. Before moving to uk i wanted to convert my airtel postpaid to prepaid as i was just using my airtel sim for bank transactions. But some airtel executive called me and changed my mind to keep the postpaid as they would provide a rs 50 postpaid plan with unlimited roaming. So i thought this would work out. But as soon as i came to uk the airtel network did not register any of the available network. So i have been calling them for past 1 month but not at all getting any help from them and i have paid the postpaid bill of rs 300 which they said it will be 50.
Now the finally as they were not able to figure out the issue, they just said that sim has problem and i have to go back to india to get a duplicate sim card. So they expect me to spend 1lakh and fly to india just for a sim card. And when i asked if a family member can take the sim card on my behalf they said that would not be possible.

My airtel number is [protected].

    Dear sir,

    I have done a recharge in the morning of 09-june-2018 through paytm but the recharge is done for wrong number. And the wrong number that got recharged is not a smart phone which can't make use of plan credited to it. Is there any way to refund money to paytm by cancelling the wrong recharge.

    Operator reference number:[protected]

    Thank you,

            There is no connectivity in airtel broadband since 06/06/2018. Inspite of several complaints on telephone airtel or its employees are taking no interest. It is a cable error. Please help as i need the broadband urgently for councelling. I have called airtel complaint cell, the boy who installed the broadband and the airtel franchise. Either get my problem resolved or i will be compelled to disconnect the broadband.

              Hi,

              I have recharged a wrong special plan of rs.149 instead of rs.169 through paytm. There is no way to cancel my order through paytm. So i tried to contact airtel customer care @ 121 but couldn't reach any customer care executive. Please provide the airtel customer care to contact any executive or provide an option to change my plan from 149 to 169.

                I have an airtel connection and therefore free access to airtel tv but when i try to access any shows on hooq on airtel tv it doesn’t play on my ipad. Please help. Whenever i try to access any shows on hooq the screen just gets stuck and nothing happens. For other channels though this is not an issue. Please have a look into this. I have tried to call customer care as well but didn’t receive a resolution.

                        Respected sir/madam,

                        I am using airtel mobile services since a year and my mobile number is [protected]. I was opted a plan for rs.399/-
                        As per the plan they offered :

                        Unlimited call (Local and std)
                        10 gb internet usage (4g speed)
                        And other associated services.

                        The above are services provided by the airtel under rs.399/- post paid package.
                        I have been impressed and attracted towards the said plan because it suits me for my professional and personal usage.

                        But after opting the services from airtel the said services are not up to the mark. For an instance : call drops are major problem and very low signals in my area. No 4g signals at my location. Due to this i called and lodged complained couple of times to the service provider and complaint registration nos are: 81717276 dated:[protected] and 85435613 dated;[protected], they have registered my complaints and promised me to resolve the issue.

                        But the service provider never resolved my complaint till now. Because of the unresolved issue i am paying additional payment for wifi connection at my home. I requesting you to please look into the issue and do the needful.

                        Thanking you.

                          Requested for hd upgrade and i got offer as for hd upgared only pay 350/- rs. As we are airtel digital tv customers for more than 3 years. The airtel executive done the installation and requested to give 350/- rs. As officially and asked more money for his convenience. He behaved very badly and used abusive words when we are not ready to pay more than the actual amount confirmed by airtel.

                          As per him, the money airtel paying for him is not sufficient and that's why he asking more money from customers.. Please don't send anybody who having such bad behavior to anyone's home as there will be only old parents or only ladies will be available at home and this kind of bad behavior might scare them.

                          I need an explanation for this bad experience with the airtel executive for my old parents.

                              Hello,

                              My mother is using Airtel connection 95xxxxx812. I raised the complaint regarding network issue to Airtel customer care. The customer service executive forwarded complaint to network team. No resolution for same. Again contacted Airtel customer care then executive told me that since there is huge network load in your area so you are facing problem. Our technical team is working on the same and your network problem will resolve. When I asked he refused to provide timeline.

                              After paying if not getting service then what's the use. Basic telephone need is to receive and you should make calls to others but without network how it's possible.

                              Above the network provider has no answer for problem. The service executives are so illeterate about process even I have doubt that they understand the problem.
                              Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                  Ever since i bought a new 4g sim i haven't been able to make calls with it. I thought that's not too much of a issue, i'll contact customer support for some help but the app is so badly made that there is no avenue to submit a custom complaint. They have a few options and those are the only one's you can submit queries for them.
                                  Their customer care number isn't too great either. An automated system that makes you run in circles. This...

                                  Once i activated an internet data pack of rs 29 which was valid for 1 month.
                                  Later on the same amount was deducted automatically from my account every month.
                                  Then i called the customer care representative and she asked me to dial a number which further deducted 29 rupees from my account.

                                  I asked them to deactivate the service but she reactivated it deducting more money from my account.

                                  Reference number for my customer care request is rmodc[protected]

                                      Hi,
                                      This is rafeeq ([protected]). I am using redmi a1 dual sim mobile.. I am unable to send any sms from my airtel sim.. I am able to send message from my other sim. I had given my primary contact number as airtel in all my banking and other activities.. So i am unable to send any confirmation messages for any activity.. I am able to send sms from airtel sim from other mobile handset but not from redmi a1 mobile. I had made this complaint on airtel for past 2 months. I had tried with all the message centre numbers they gave. All they say is issue will be sorted out in couple of days.. Then i dont receive any sms or call regarding the complaint.
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
