This is the worstest network ever i used till now. Just stop you fake advertisment about the bestest network and all #.
I have use several networks, didnt face this type of problem ever.
Network is never available when its highly needed. No internet works. Other person can't hear my voice. Call doesn't get placed at once.
I mean nothing is right.
Whenever i get any call from your cse, if i start complaining, they will disconnect the call immediately.
You dont have that much of guts to listen to your customers complaint.
Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
3 value added services has been activated on my number without any intimation.
and my balance of Rs. 75 is deducted.

    I used airtel wifi router and was not working fine in my deep city inside building. Not able to use 100 mb per day. It was dead slow. I reported and asked disconnection. They disconnected and balance payment i was trying to pay online they didn't enable in my account. They sent court notice and asking for payment. They forcing to come retail office to pay rupees. And few executives called and stating like rude guy and demanding payment otherwise they will do some action against me.

    This is seems airtel met heavy lose and down due to other competitors. They are suppressing customer and doing this. As my wife is lawyer i am going to make in court and will proceed.

    I already published all doc in my social network.

      We have been using the corporate services for more than 9 years, we have never faced this problem earlier.

      As per the telecom, refer to the discussion regarding the messages popping up on the mobile no [protected] which is overseas for the business trip. As per advised by you irp 649/- pack per day is auto activated if a person travels overseas and inspite of the auto activated pack, after which on the same day we activated irp 2999/- pack and even then the messages are not stopping. The messages which were sent on the mobile is attached fyr. The constant messages are interrupting the meetings and is not able to concentrate which is leading to mental harassment, moreover our trip is getting affected.

      Look into the matter and resolve on priority basis. Also note we are not going to pay a single penny

        Approached airtel customer care to convert my postpaid into prepaid. Initially, they asked me to come after 2-3 days, citing reason unavailability of the bill to clear dues. After pursuing, they said ok. But now they cant adjust security deposit towards the clearance. And after pursuing a little they said ok again to adjust but now they said: "we will charge the dues as mentioned in our system" which is not actual after monthly discounts and settlement will be done via cheque later"
        I mean come on, we are in the digital world and you are giving so many lame excuses just to trap customer in postpaid.

        Update on the complaint: After pursuing for many days Airtel CC took conversion request on 15/06/2018 after clearing all my dues and told me that it will be converted to prepaid within 3 days time. its been 6 days and still not converted to prepaid. Now today 21/06/2018. I received a message that "no action is being taken regarding postpaid to prepaid conversion as per our telephonic conversion". So much o[censored]nethical practice to keep customer traped in postpaid. Slow claps for Airtel.

          My mom is an Airtel user and recently the issue with the network has made our life's a hell. We actually require a phone to call others or get calls. Lately, she isn't able to make calls nor getting calls. Please look into the matter as this is really annoying. And if the same thing continues we will be forced to Port to other networks.

                    I woke up and as any person would do checked my phone. I found that i activated whatsmob service clearly not known by me. Just to be sure i checked the time i received that message it was 3:30 am. There is no chance of me activating that service. As soon as this happened i deactivated and got deactivating message immediately but didn't receive my money back. I called the toll free number and airtel app but couldn't find any option to help me. Why is that you can send a confirming message immediately but fail to send money back? This happened to me many times but most of the time i got my money back unlike this time. I think i can observe the pattern and happens when i have relatively more balance like 1000/- or 500/-. I don't think that a big company like airtel should resort to such cheap tricks.

                        My husband has an airtel number, he activated child plan for my number as i was also using airtel postpaid. After activating i was not able to use data. I raised complain and was told that problem will resolve in 48 hrs but that never happened. I called them again and they apologised and reopened the complain. The problem did not get resolved. I called again they reopened the complain again and this kept on going for 1 week.
                        Why the hell this company starts these kind of plan when all they want is to fool the customers.
                        It's been 8 days and i am not able to use data. I don't know what and how the company is going to pay me back for harassing and fooling.

                          I have a poor connection from airtel. I had raised a complaint to airtel but till now there has been no improvement.

                          One the contrary the problem has aggravated and i have been informed that my cell phone is unreachable at times. This is impacting my work.

                          I was advised to send a porting message to 1900.

                          But i am unable to send sms to 1900, for porting out my sim from airtel to another service provider.
                          I am able to send sms to all other numbers like my friends and relatives.

                            I followed the procedure given for sim swap from 3g to 4g. I got a message for confirmation where i had to type 1. I did the same for which i got a msg
                            "wrong hlr gold sim, please try again with correct hlr sim number"
                            When i contacted customer care i was told to repeat the same procedure but to no avail. I had already contacted the customer care only after trying a few times. Customer care executive was inefficient and just kept on saying to try again. I would like this to be resolved soon failing which i am planning to change my operator.

                              I recharged my airtel no [protected] with ₹399 (Unlimited calling & 1.4gb data per day for 84 days) on 09/06/2018.

                              On 10/06/2018 i recharged the same no with ₹199 (Same benefits as former with 28 days validity) by mistake.

                              But i didn't get any benefit from 2nd recharge not even added data or extra validity. When i called customer care they told me "you will only get benefits of 1st recharge 2nd recharge won't be accounted. This is company's policy"

                              I request either refund or added validity on my current plan

                                Dear sir/madam,
                                I am a foreigner, using an airtel sim card [protected] in hyderabad for 2 years.
                                Today (10/6/2018), my iphone showed no signal of airtel, instead it showed "no service".
                                My question is that it is a common problem of airtel network today, or my sim card is expired that i cannot use it anymore? If so, how can i check my sim card expiratory date on website?
                                I am waiting for your response soon.
                                Thanks,

                                  Complaining about the bill discrepancies with airtel since 4 consecutive months. Despite complaint over call and mail every month they have been charging me additional rs. 80 in monthly bill for a value added service i never availed. On complaining they said its a technical issue and has been resolved but after that it happened again thrice. They refuse to check the bill before issuing. Though they have adjusted the money but this has been happening every month and is quite a harassment. Request help in resolving the issue permanently so that i don't have to check my bill and raise complaint month over month. Compliant raised earlier via email, trai and call. I am fed up and already looking for mnp. Ref no. For earlier complaint [|bal|ref60130939|].
                                  First they claimed it's a technical issue then they said it's not their fault. Every month i hear a new excuse but no resolution.
