As i ported my number from Aircel to Airtel . And now I am in PostPaid .But when i am trying to pay the bill it shows that my number is not registered .And even when i try to contact customer care my call got disconnected by a auto reply that i don't have balance in my prepaid number . But i got a bill of Postpaid which i am unable to pay against my [protected] number. It just became a habbit for Airtel that after repeated follow-up they are not providing service.

    Hi airtel,

    I have been using 1.4 gb per day pack but am not able to use my data as the network reception is so poor that speed test even wont work. Being a giant in the telecom industry. I expect you to at least get your 4g coverage good in city areas like bangalore. My area pin code is 560060. I even checked in open network, my building is in a very poor network zone. Please fix this issue as soon as possible otherwise it is like i am paying for the services i am not even able to access.

    Regards,
    Shantanu sarkar

      Ok this time you over did yourself, I purchased a smartbytes pack of 15GB on[protected] which turns out was 200GB now i would not say anything but atleast it should been provided which i didn't got and you gave me 125GB in which 80GB was from my previous plan then you text me that i need to payup 4005 INR as per some usage pattern and when i try to track the usage from your app or website it does not provide any details when i try to call customer service the automated voice recording tells me to buy data pack or smartbytes.

      I am speechless so please either fix it or provide me the data usage details or take away your services.

            Using a corporate Airtel number in Raipur(Chhattisgarh). Airtel claims over the television to be the fastest and most available network among all the Service Providers. but the truth is its all fake and just making a fool of customers. Being a corporate employee cell phone is a must to have need and having one with Aitel network is same as having no phone at all.
            however i have made this complaints n number of times with their custome care but highlighting the issue with ticket number this time.

            same issue has been reported twice by me.Both of these complaints are about network issue becuase of that i am not able to make calls or to use data from past so many months including facing high level congestion is network from evening 6 everyday from anywhere. Airtell customer care committed to sort out the issue in 4 days of time. But still i havent seen any action and issue remains same. These people are so careless about cutomers because generally we do not take a stand against their poor quality of service. We pay but we do not get the service we deserve. Hoping to get some response from this forum.Screen shot of the message of registering complaint is attached.

              I am facing lot of issue with airtel network since last 2 months. Even after complaining it to airtel team by calling them 7-10 times, the issue is not resolved. When i called today, i was told that the service request 84695208 is closed. They closed the request without resolving or calling the customer.

              I need my refund for the last 2 months i paid the money

                I received a message saying that gamepind has been activated on my account and that it will be renewed after the expiry of 7 days. An amount of rs 60 has been reduced from my account. I need airtel to refund me the same (Rs 30, that has been deducted twice from my account) as airtel has no "lawful authority" to "automatically" subscribe gamepind without my freewill.

                  Hi, i am not receiving any sms from any network i am not getting messages from various banks, irctc, makemytrip etc. This problem started from 11 april 2018 and i have contacted customer care atleast 20 times since then, everytime they tell me that the complaint has been logged and will be resolved by such and such date and time and i never get any response. This is really frustrating as i am unable to do online banking at the moment and this is impacting my work big time. My number is [protected], please resolve immediately. My no is [protected]

                  We recharge in paytm but our recharge don't there wat a network is this I'm very angry no customer care service vry bad netwotk
                  Network keeps fluctuating. From 4G to H and I don't even get a 800kbps of speed. It is not even effecient in browsing pages. So poor and they claim that they are the fastest in india. If you want to be more succesful than Jio then please improve the network quality
                  I don't know why but my internet is not living up to the 4g speed. Previously I had done the 3g recharge and it was way faster than this! I even changed the apn but it still sucks!!!
                  Really Frustrated by the service provided by airtel. Facing alot of Network Issues. Unable to connect to calls. Calls disconnecting automatically, taking almost 3-4 calls to connect to an outgoing call.

                  Earlier was a best network but now a worst network.

                    Absurd network in my area (Mj avershine apartment, near rayasandra lake, bangalore-560099). I have purchased both postpaid and wi-fi hotspot but all goes in vain. Jio network is quite better than airtel. When using ookla for speed test, it is not going beyond 1 mbps. There is no airtel broadband presence also in this area. Please send your network team and resolve our issue at the earliest

                    I really sorry to inform you that your service has been worst... I have ever used... The service I use is claimed to be 4G network but I sorry to say is the worse than earlier 3G.
                    The company must look into the matter or stop advertising it's 4G network which you claim to be the best. You must also make your staff accountable for such service.

                      I have been having problem since january, as airtel keep activating random additional channels on my digital tv. Everytime i have to call and ask to them to discontinue those channels and refund the amount that they have charging for no reason.
                      Now, they have done similar thing with my phone. I have paid rs 30 for the subscription of gaana khazana, though i never requested.
                      I would like to know if this new business model that they have implementing, i. E. Defrauding money out of their customers.

                        Hi,

                        My number is [protected]. Airtel citrus has deducted an amount of rs 199 from my hdfc account. The transaction happened on 25/04/2018. But airtel is saying transaction failed.
                        If this continues then i will change my sim to some other company. Please look into the issue. Kindly refund the amount to me as soon as possible.

                        Going by the other complaints it looks like, it is normal for you guys to do such a thing, ie deduct people's money and not recharge them the valid amount. Is this some sort of scam?

                        Yours sincerely,
                        An unhappy customer.

                          My mobile number is [protected] wherein last time i recharged with offer amount of rs 98 for 28 days which expired on 23.04.2018. Previous to that i was getting an offer message of rs 99 for 28 days. Accordingly on 24th i recharged for rs 99 but i got a message stating that the validity only for 10 days. How it is happening and it is merely antognizing the existing customer and misguiding the patronage customer. Kindly correct the validity to 28 days and confirm

                              Namkeen pack and glamour zone services have been activated and renewed without my consent & balance of rs-35/- has been deducted each time when renewed and while activation billing a total of rs-350/- extra on my plan.

                              I have never subscribed for this service.

                              Want to file a complaint for such unnecessary deductions made by airtel. Such instances have happened in the past as well. They activate certain services and charge us any amount as a subscription fee.

                                  This is regarding my new connection request, caf 4510814. Job id[protected]. I was promised the connection would be setup by monday eod, there was no call or any communication.
                                  Tuesday one of your field tech supervisor by name prem (+[protected] calls me and says the connection will set it up before 9pm and shares the contact for the installation person kadhar (+[protected], who gives his work to another installation person by name kavi (+[protected] who tells me the connection would setup before 9pm.
                                  Around 8:50 pm another tech calls by name veerapandi selva (+[protected] calls me and says we will do it by wednesday 9am on priority.
                                  I am trying to call all the people involved and non seems to take my calls nor respond. If airtel cannot keep up to its commitments why do you even advertise your services. Now tell me, will i be getting the connection installed today or should i take look for local cable internet operators for my needs.

                                  with no response from Airtel, I have now taken up a connection with a local cable internet provider. I have asked for a refund of the installation charges as they did not do any installation.

                                    Airtel is deducting balance without user notice, new kind of fraud.

                                    The service name is gamepind. I called they are talking like they are not responsible. Very irresponsible. And a new kind of fraud invention.

                                    For uneducated people in villages, they dont know why the money is deducting. And when i asked what is gamepind, the custome support reported that they dont know. This is cheating

                                        I am experiencing a huge network issue. Even tough signal is showing as full i am not able to call. Getting error server unreachable. I don't understand the real issue with airtel tough i am staying in mumbai/pune metro city i am still facing network issue in making calls. When it comes to internet this is another hell i see it is 4g on display but net speed is slow than 2g. If you can't provide good internet pls don't advertise about it. Stop fooling customer. Planning to switch from airtel. Very disappointed with network service
