    I want to port out from Airtel. I got an UPC code (AB595863) and gave to Retailer and done Fingerprint verification etc. He told me that it will take about 7 days but today is 10th day and the Airtel office is saying that it will be done tomorrow and saying this every next day. What can I do now?

      I upgraded my sim from 3G to 4G 4 days ago and both the sim stopped working. When I complained about the same in 121, they asked me to get a replacement sim with aadhar verification.
      i did that yesterday and still none of the sim is working. Again I get the same suggestion from the customer care to go and replace the sim.

              Rs. 35.0 has been deducted in my airtel prepaid mobile ([protected]) in the name of service VEMES. I have not subscribed for this service and for no reason they deducted my money.
              Thai is the message I got:
              "VEMES service has been activated @ Rs35.0 for 7day(s).Txn ID N[protected], 07Apr18 01:02. Service will be renewed after validity expiry.To use, click http://bit.ly/2btlwZJ (data charges apply).To deactivate, call or SMS STOP to 155223. More services? Call 56789."
              This is very devastating, deducting Rs. 35.0 for no reason.

                    My Airtel TV (btw one of the most expensive but incompetent and pathetic service provider) is not working from last month. I had been contacting the customer care from a lot of time - instead of trying to help they try to show it was my fault - you should have contacted technician/customer care even though I followed up everytime. The service is still not working.

                    Once a technician came and told me you need to replace the cable - it is not taking the signal (btw it is less than an year I moved into a fresh new flat). I changed the cable still the service did not start & same story of pathetic responses from the customer care.

                    I would not suggest this service provider to any sane person. BAD SERVICE PROVIDER AND WORST CUSTOMER CARE.
                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                    The customer care people are one of the most rude and ill mannered in talking to the customers. I spoke with of them today named Mohammad something & would say it as the ugliest experience of my lifetime. These guys seriously are uncultured and need schooling to be workable in their current duties.

                    I had the problem solved today after one month and it was not due to the cable but the previous technician could not identify the issue. The cable which was there earlier is as it is and the technician that came today found some issue with loose contact or something in the outside connector. I spoke with the customer care then for extension of service for the period the service was down (due to the issue was not found by the previous technician) - the customer care supervisor was extremely ill-mannered and told me it was my mistake and the extension could not be provided. I am not expecting any further support from this FRAUD customer care team and chosen to terminate Airtel connection. This has perhaps been the most negatively shocking experience from any service providers to me.

                    THUMBS DOWN TO YOU GUYS !!

                      I have an Airtel postpaid connection for past 1years. Everything is working fine but for the past 3 months Airtel charging me an incorrect billing. Also, the My Airtel App isn't working and updating properly. I've raised complaints with the customer care number severally but no resolutions found.

                      Also, recently I've raised an MNP request on 18th of March 2018 to port out my number from Airtel Postpaid to Vodafone Prepaid. But, without any intimation, they have rejected it on 22nd March 2018.

                      This month also they have charged me incorrectly 700Rs. Which is not been cleared till now.

                      I just want to port out my number from Airtel Postpaid to Vodafone Prepaid.

                      Please help with this.

                      Thanks,

                        Airtel at it again !!! They have looted as much as 200 rupees in 2 days without my consent.

                        Here is the detail:
                        On April 3 2018 4:49 - Activated SUPER STORE value added service for Rs 99/-.Transaction ID : S[protected]
                        On April 5 2018 1:35 - Activated UPLAYPORTAL service for Rs.75/- Transaction ID : N[protected]
                        Again on April 5 2018 4:51 - Activated ASKADOCTOR service for Rs.30 Transaction Id : N[protected]

                        I have no idea about ANY of these services.I havent used my mobile at all during the time that is listed in the transaction. I dont use internet in my phone at all, the "mobile data" option is always switched off and mobile usage shows 0 KB . Yet the call center guy claims that i have activated it via internet and talks as if i am lying.Me and my family members have been with airtel for 10 YEARS !!. This is the WORST EXPERIENCE ever.

                        I checked the internet forums and i see a lot o[censored]sers have been looted by this SUPERSTORE SERVICE offer since 2015. SHAME!
                        If they have any concern for their customers at all, they should reach out and provide a refund for my harrowing experience .
                        I have written this for the benefit of other users and i shall continue to write in all forums, trai included and consider all options to bring this gross UNETHICAL behaviour to light.

                        Needless to say, i shall be porting out to other telecom providers, 6 aritel numbers in my family. THANKS !

                          I chose airtel because it is an indian company but regretting it now as network is damm poooooor people can not reach me, call drops.. I think airtel only invests money in tv and print advertisements and make false claims rather than investing in network improvement. Jio haa juat launched and giving amazing network to theirr users so what is the excuse airtel has now??? Will soon port if no action taken...

                            Sir,
                            My complient is that airtel has a short range in my villege. The tower is situated atleast 10 km from my home
                            There is very poor network coverage around.

                            So large number of people dislike your network and change to airtel, vodafone
                            I like my airtel. So please take further steps to recover this problem.
                            Sir i request you to solve problem
