    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.

                            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

                              There was a life style service activated on my airtel number from last 3 weeks and i noticed it today(25/4/2018). without my initiation to start the service, it has started and costing me 35/- per week i.e about 105/ for 3 weeks and i'm at the loss of it.
                              cheap tricks by airtel to gain money.
                              worst service ever.

                                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

                                  I have booked a complaint of no signal since 18th april 2018. Today is 25th of april 2018. I have called several times in customer care but every time they give me a time period of 24 hours. This is really unprofessional and shameful with a brand like airtel. Disappointed, disgusting

                                    3g network is very slow on national roaming. I am using this airtel number more than 6years. From last 1year i am staying in rangapahar (Nagaland). I am sending this feedback using jio network. Please do something. Even i don't have network to complaint. I installed my airtel sim on slot 1 in my mobile. Iam using micromax q385 mobile phone. Android 5.1.

                                      Airtel is a # fraudulent company which lures us to buy there sim by making false commitments of india's fastest network. Such a useless # garbage company useless # fraud company snail network. If i had a power i must destroyed whole airtel towers in india and kick these #s out of india. Useless company useless network. I request everyone to never ever buy airtel service because they are better known for looting and luring us and providing # service. I think terrorist must attack these types of # companies and destroy them why they kill innocent peoples? Why they kill us? They must target these luring looting companies to destroy them in order to save us from looting and lured by them. Our india is stucked in middle of the development path due to these # # telecom companies. Airtel must be removed kicked out from india in the case of traitors asap. Our india needs to develop with excellent service providers by kicking out # traitor network company.

                                        Dear Airtel,
                                        Based on the trust you have built in public I have shifted from Vodafone to Airtel a year ago but now I am realizing that I did a hell mistake because from past 2months I am experiencing a huge network issue. Even tough signal is showing as full but people are not able to connect me and they are getting a voice message as 'All lines are busy' . I don't understand the real issue with airtel tough I am staying in Chennai metro city I am still facing network issue in making calls. When it comes to internet this is another hell I stopped using airtel data from past 2months because of the poor connection, I am not even getting 2g speed when connect to Airtel data. I am expecting someone to look into my issue and do the needful. I look for 2days to get the issue resolved otherwise I will go back to Vodafone and will suggest my friends to not take airtel.
