Hi,

I am facing call ended issue from last 2 months intermittently and i need to do repeated calls to connect to someone, i have call logged with airtel on june 25, with SR NUMBER 86079177, i have logged the case based on many of my friends also facing the same issue in both android and iphone who are using airtel.

The support received from airtel was to change phone and sim card., When i am clearly conveying that the issue was not only with me but still the engineer has never worked on the actual issue..

The case was closed without even getting confirmation with me.

Regards,
Sukhil R Shetty

    I had complained about data network issue six month back and till date, no solution provided by Airtel team,

    Airtel team keep saying the same reason that network team is installing new tower but its really surprising that it taking six months to install.

    360GB data has been carry forwarded in my airtel network and I am not able to use data.

    There is not the issue with mobile or SIM as I am getting data network at office location but not getting at the home location.

    Someone from your team should help to show the mirror to the Airtel Team so other customers should not suffer like me.

      Good Evening,

      I had opted for the Rs. 999 Broadband Plan (Chennai) with a 6-month advance rental hence and had paid an amount of Rs. 6018. I had paid 4 days ago and was told that the installation will be complete within the next day. It has been four days and the installation hasn't been done yet. Before the payment, I was being called twice every day for the payment and now that I have paid the amount, my calls are not received and my messages are not replied to. After the payment, it should be your responsibility to provide the customer with the service they had paid for within the promise.
      Number of the Person(female) who had called me for the payment -
      [protected]
      My payment txn ID-
      [protected]
      Please refund the amount or get the installation done.

      P.S - I live in Kanchipuram Dist. but the official who had called me said that the Rs.999 plan of Chennai will work there. I had verified the KYC details (PAN Card) via whatsapp and sent it to [protected]

                    Dear Sir, I wish to bring your notice that there is a Airtel Broadband junction box in front of my house. The junction box was installed without my knowledge or permission.

                    The installation of junction box is causing a lot inconvenience to me as I am planning to put sliding gate across the compound wall and the junction box is blocking free access between my plot and the road. It is requested to remove or shift the Airtel Broadband Junction Box at the earliest. Thanking You. Annie Mathews, No 36 37 Shakti Nagar, Kalyan Nagar PO, Bangalore 560043

                        Dear Sir/ Madam,

                        I had applied for a SIM exchange since my old Sim was damaged and not fetching any signal. For this, I approached an Airtel showroom in Adyar, Chennai on (06/08/2018).

                        The executive asked for my ID proof (Voter ID card), which I provided. After getting the verification process done, she provided me with the new SIM card, saying it would get activated within the next 4 hours. Moreover, It is mentioned on the Airtel website that the new SIM card gets activated within 2 hours. But, even after 16 hours, my SIM card is yet to be activated. I called up the customer care executives and all they said was to switch off and switch on the mobile phone, while removing and inserting the SIM card again, which I had already tried several times. The Airtel Network Coverage is very good in my locality, so there is no problem of coverage area. As of now, there is no signal at all, for the new Airtel SIM card.

                        As this is my official number, it is hard to carry out my work.
                        Please immediately activate my SIM card.

                        Thanks & Regards,
                        Vignesh N

                            I mistakely done recharge on my airtel no [protected]. Then I realised that still there was 40 days left in my package. But after I mistakenly done my airtel recharge for rs 399 for 84 days it didn't add 40 days to my new package. Please add these 40 days to my new package.or otherwise cancel my new package & refund me that amount

                                In customer care(121) everybody giving me wrong information. My data is going over without showing the data usage and when I ask about this at customer care, the people are not telling anything good this is what happens every time when I recharge Rs.49. Do you think my money rises in the tree? I want my data back or a proper solution or I will go to consumer court.

                                  I have been getting messages from A$-ftarot which gives details like call cost and remaining balance just like I would get had I called someone from my phone. But at the time when I receive the message either I am doing something else or not using my phone at all. I can't understand why I am getting such messages. Please solve this issue as soon as possible.

                                      We recently potted out from Vodafone for excessive billing and AIRTEL turned out to be better billing wise but network problems are too high-sometimes our phones receiving SMS, sometimes no calls can be made or received, sometimes data doesn’t work at all and sometimes even though international roaming is activated it doesn’t work on a foreign land.
                                      When complained (which is very often)AIRTEL executives ask us to do troubleshooting steps everytime by taking out the Simcard and again reinserting it-the simcard is new hardly 5 months old but it doesn’t work -by continuously taking out and reinserting the SIM card the phone gets damaged and think of the cost of an I phone and it’s repairs -it is really too heavy a burden.
                                      In my family 2 members have taken additional sims this incurring additional bills but since without communication business cannot be done it became extremely essential.
                                      Everytime a simcard is replaced you need to visit the store and pay Rs.25 for the simcard exchange-it seems these network providers are developing inferior quality sim cards to profit from their exchange.
                                      Kindly get the services improved

                                      We are charged for sms from a London no.ending with [protected] in mostly all our bills and when discussed with AIRTEL they say that these sms trigger from Apple site everytime we switch off and on our I phones -they ask us to switch off i-messages which are free from I phone to I phone if internet connection is there at both ends .
                                      What is the use of having such expensive high utility and high end phones if imessages are to be switched off?
                                      Will a person keep his/her phone always on and then spend on expensive batteries?
                                      Kindly inform the service providers not to levy charges for such ISD sms.
                                      A bill showing the no.charged is attached
