Hi,

I had applied for airtel broadband connection on 14th april 2018. However, the airtel is quite costly than any other broadband service and i was expecting good service from them. So, i have paid 3 months advance to get the connection. But their service was very poor. By anyhow they managed to provide me connection after delay and it was not working properly. Even i was not getting 1 mbps speed also.
I requested them to disconnect the service as it was not fulfilling my needs. They assured me to give my refunds after deducting amount for 7 days but now its already one month they are not giving me refund.

At least i have to take another connection to get my work complete. From almost one month they are assuring me for refund. Now its time to refund but they are saying again they will take 15 days. By anyhow they are managing to make it 3 months so that they don't have to pay anything to me.

Recently i came to know in my area most of other customers also faced the same issue and they never got good service from them.

By anyhow airtel is managing to survive in the market and take money by fooling their customer.

Can you guys be able to do something so that i can utilize my money on proper service.

          Dear sir,

          Mobile no + [protected]
          Name : prabhakar rai
          Address : orient craft limtied
          7-d maruti industrial area sector - 18
          Gurgaon.

          Dear sir,

          On sunday dated 06/05/2018 i received a call from mobile no - [protected] at 11.32am, saying that i am calling from airtel and your sim will be closed and you have to change the sim from 3 g to 4g.
          For this he asked to send a sms on 121.
          Just after that my sim was blocked and no massage was coming on that.

          Next day on dated 07.05.2018 a fraud of rs 1, 00, 000.00 occurred in my icici bank due to this fraud and sim which was delivered to some unknown personnel without any identification.

          On same date we filled a complain to customer care of airtel to block the mobile no.

          Now you are requested to pls identify the store and person from where this sim was issued without any identification and fraud happens with me.

          In connection to this you are requested to pls compensate the amount of fraud and mental harassment happen to me and my family.

          You are requested to please clarify with documents and proof.
          My concern :
          1. How come the fraudster was in possession of new airtel prepaid sim without requesting them against any customer and submitting any document for the same.
          2. Are your unregistered sim available in the black market for any type of anti - social activities and it can be purchased like toffy and chocklet.
          3. Will you still brush-off everything claiming zero responsibilities and saying that you cannot trace sim or the owner. Being a so big company (Bharti airtel).
          4. What are the rules and regulations of your company to safe the private and confidential identity of the customer.
          5. How can we identify the fraud when the old sim was blocked and no sms was coming on that.
          6. You are rwquested to please identify this mob no - [protected] and file an fir against this process at your end. (We hope such a big company have some legal team of proffessionals)

          Note : at last but not least we have mailed this issue to your nodal officer but no response has been received. ('nodalofficer. [protected]@airtel.in'), 'dthnodal. [protected]@airtel.com'

            Airtel,

            Ref mobile no. : [protected]

            Writing this mail with very disappointment that i m not able to make my payment through your airtel payment bank app

            After talk with your concern customer care they said my account is stop due to we do not have some detail of you

            So my question how can you stop any customer a/c even without any intimation or information

            You must have inform us without any kind of stop service.

            If you do not have fully detail then u can inform us well in advance

            And most disgusting thing is even my a/c is stop why you have accept my amount in your wallet why your system is giving error that time

            Now after when i m going to revert that amount into my bank then your system says this is not allowed

            So this is not acceptable from this type of company

            Plz resolve this asap and inform me as i need to make payment urgently

            Hope you understand this matter and its important

              Airtel representative called me last month about to start international roaming facility and i told him clearly o don't want to start any facility right now. He suggested no worry whenever u want to start we can help you but when i received a bill amount has been credited 2999. I logged complaint to airtel and replied me to resolved your issue in next 9 days, after two day i have got call from call center and straight away said you have to pay your outstanding which is not expected answer by company. This is open cheating with post paid customer. So request you to resolved my issue.

                  Hi team, we have been using airtel from last 5 years and in my family everyone has airtel dth. Recently we moved to bengaluru and took airtel broadband plan which promises a speed o[censored]pto 40mbps, after we got the broadband installed we came to know from your team on call that only 16mbps speed is provided in my area where i am currently located. That’s fraud we were expecting up to 40 mbps the advertisement says 40 mbps but only 16 after getting the connection installed no disclaimer was mentioned to us during document collection. Also the internet connection does not work half of the time. We start the router multiple times in a day as while working we see that the internet is not working. So poor service, fraud about the speed. I am an airtel loyalist but now i am so frustrated and disappointed by the service. I am not expecting 40mbps speed in a village it’s a metro city and so poor service. This way you will surely loose your customers to jio or act fiber net. I am observing your service for three months then i will surely think about switching to act. Hope you act effectively this time. Also i use airtel internet tv in which net flix is not working it’s been a week only and the airtel digital tv stops abruptly many a times in normal whether conditions. It feels really frustrating in front of our guest the airtel digital tv stopped many a times. Sometimes it work well and some times stops abruptly in normal wheather. Resolve this asap. Poor products poor service. I have been using airtel dth from last 5 years this never happened in hyderabad. My parents use airtel internet tv, no service issue but with me it’s poor just poor.

                      Hi the worse airtel network,
                      These days i am not able to make calls by using your network. The worst signal in hyderabad. I made complaint to customer care couple of time, but there is no use. But you are generating the bills very promptly, at same time you are not giving proper service to the customer. I think no airtel customer is happy in hyderabad city. I dont know, whom to escalate this issue. What airtel higher management is doing or what troi is doing on this issue. They need customers money, but they dont bother about customer issues like signal problem.

                      Forgot about internet, not even making calls. But you are advertising open network saying india's no 1 network. Yes you are right airtel is india's no 1 worst network.

                      Airtel is the worse worse worse than any other network.

                      Thanks,
                      Kiran.

                        Airtel is fast becoming worst mobile network service provider in india, being with airtel for more than a decade as it was the best service provider in the country but from the past year or so we don't get proper reception at most of the places and day by day it's services are getting deteriorated.
                        7 out of 10 calls doesn't connect most people say they are unable to reach you on your mobile you cannot even call 121 or 198 taking your frustration levels to peak.
                        Finally making a decision to move out of airtel to something which would work.

                          My number is[protected]. I changed from bsnl to airtel few years back. Earlier your network was ok. Now (Few months) your network become worst. Wherever i go voice breaks and 4 g speed is very slow. I am carry forward my 350 gb data without using it. But the jock is you are giving amazon prime free subscription for one year. With your data speed i am able to use whatsapp. How can no watch amazon prime?

                            I want to switch airtel postpaid to prepaid. When i visit airtel store they refused to do so as my number is only 1 month old. Then i call customer care to disconnect my number. Again again i post request to disconnect and they themself close my request. Help me asap or i will switch to other service provider. My number is [protected]. My request number is 85198848

                              For last 3 days friends in my contact list received calls from my number and when they answered the call some one else is on call. And the strange thing is that i at that very time did not make any call. This has happened 4 time with me and 2 times with my wife also having airtel connection and my mother also an airtel subscriber. Call centre agents are of no help and are useless.

                                    I had a request for deactivation of SIM for 2 Airtel numbers, on 14th April 201. Till date I am getting the bills for the same.

                                    The service request no as the per the customer care are as follows:

                                    84719760
                                    84719622

                                    Request you to deactivate both the numbers - ([protected]/[protected]), as i will not be paying for the bill generated
