    I am in airtel network since 10 years and my home network is andhra pradesh. I am on roaming in bangalore. For the past 1 week the signal quality is very poor and i had contacted the customer care they are saying that signal quality is very good. Till now the problem is not solved, many of my friends in the same area is also facing the same issue.

    Please help me out, whether the issue is due to roaming or not.

      My 5-6 year old airtel number has been allocated to anyone else and this number is registered in all my bank accounts, aadhar cards, pan and all. My privacy is at risk because all the sms (Verification code, otp, urn) still goes to this number and i am completely prone to fraud due to open information. How irresponsible my number of 5 years has been allocated to someone else. I never imagined that this would be negligence on behalf of airtel. I was connected to airtel for 5 years, yet within 6 months why did you give this number to someone else?

        1. Though plan 399 is opted, the bill is amounting to rs 680, 700 etc.. Why.
        2. Network issues.. No signal at my location i. E. Kengeri satellite town
        Bangalore
        3. Repeated complaints with customer care did not help. The standard answer
        We get is, our executive will call
        4. Because of this problem i had migrated to some other provider during july17, but some body from airtel said the network problem was attended and was resolved. So i switched back to airtel on plan399 during dec17
        5. Looks i made a mistake, i am asked to pay excess money for a very bad network

          I am facing an issue with airtel continuously for the last 3 months on the additional charges of booster pack being added to my bills. Whenever i call them to complain, they are rude and mention it is adjusted. Why take money first and then adjust? In addition, they mention stating i can go ahead and complain to consumer forum when i have mentioned the same on escalation. If this is customer service we get from such providers for a loyal customer for past 11 years, this is absurd and they have to rethink on losing customers. Also, to my surprise, the supervisor who handled my call states that there were no notes made on my account by the previous executive but the adjustment was made last month. This is even more scary. Bharti airtel time to relook in to your services as this can become fatal on charging customers without their consent.

            I am not receiving text messages from any number on my airtel mobile. The problem started on 30th april 2018 and is still persisting. Please help at the earliest. My name is sonal singhal. The sim is on roaming. Request you to enable the services. My complaint number is [protected] logged by airtel customer care.
            Is there a possibility that message service is hacked?

              Since months i am finding that the calls made to people or others drop or fail most of the time and the company is doing nothing to prevent these inspite of repeated complaints.in 2017 the government had levied a penalty of re.1 per call drop but i find the network provider is not being charged the penalty at all not any credit is given to the customers.
              If there is a government legislation then there should also be a control over its execution - simply promulgating in newspapers is not sufficient for the satisfaction o[censored]sers - please take action against the network providers for calls failed.
              Many a times when called the ring is not there and even if the phone is on and nearby the message can be heard that the no. Is not reachable. Kindly put a check on these problems-a lot of time is wasted due to all these reasons

                Airtel has deducted 150 rupees from my mobile balance. SMS Is as follows:-

                "WHATSMOB service has been activated @ Rs 150.00 for 30 days. TxnID N[protected], 30 Apr18 10:00. Service will be renewed after validity expriry. To deactivate, call or SMS STOP to 155223. More services? 56789."

                I want my money to be refunded back to my mobile number [protected]. I called Airtel customer care as well. Customer care representative told he will connect to his supervisor and asked me to wait. I waited for 5minutes, but nothing happened.
                Airtel is really cheating their customers.. Please get the refund of my money

                    I am facing channel disturbance issue on my SD as well as HD channels. This is not the first time I m facing this issue. Same kind of issue occurred in past also and service center took long time to resolve this. Now again I am facing this issue when I complained the same to customer care, there was lot of disturbance in voice and when I complained it support executive ask me to call back and he dropped the phone. Such a pathetic call centre. Kind of no professionalism. I again called and raised my complaint. I am requesting you to take strict action against this. As will definitely going to impact your brand value as Airtel. Really poor service.

                          Just now I linked my number with PayTm wallet from Airtel App but automatically RS 399 deducted from my existing PayTm wallet after linking that one. When I called to Airtel customer care executive for the same (Reuest ID - CEXCL[protected]) they told me now Rs 399 will work now only and existing Rs 448 scheem will be scrap out.
                          This kind of technical problem from aitrel like prestigious not acceptable and I am requesting them to return back of my money and retain back my existing Rs 448 which I recharged only 3 days back .

                              I had taken subscription of airtel broadband of 899/- for 6 mnths for which i paid 5410 dated.There representative had given me this offer saying you get amazon prime subscription for 1 yr.After installation i call customer care on 30 th april regarding my prime amazon offer.They say that this offer is not valid on your subscription. I told them that there representative had given me this offer and i have confirmed twice with him regarding it.I told them that if this offer was not given by there representative i would have taken lower subscription. So i ask them to charge me for that particular month and change my plan to lower and refund my money or else give me the said subscription as this is purely a mistake from company representative to whom wrong information was provided by the company sales team. But they denied saying we cannot do anything and just have recorded my complaint no 95655448.Kindly help me with above which is either company representative or sales and marketing team big mistake and the consumer is paying cost for.

                                I want to surrender my airtel broadband connection.

                                Once the service / call center people heard about my intention to surrender the connection, they are battery of questions like, why do i want to cancel, can you transfer the line to any of your relatives or friends, we can give attractive discounts for next 6 months etc etc. When all my answers are not favourable, inspite of doing doing something, they simply disconnect the line.

                                What do i do now?

                                  Even after atending patiently to the daily irritating cust care calls related to my number portability, below message is being sent. Instead of sending rep to attend the complaint, actions items have been assigned to customer. The lady called me last was super irritating, could not understand the plain english and kept asking same question multiple times even after answering the same.
                                  Message received below that shows how much responsible airtel is towards cust complaints even after wasting my time with daily calls —
                                  "dear customer, regarding the network issue with service request no. 84976426 on your airtel no., we could not take any action as we were unable to contact you in spite of multiple attempts. To check network coverage in your area, click airtel.in/opennetwork. Thank you."
                                  What a way to run away from responsibility, superb servise i must say... This company billed me ₹500 extra each month for nothing without my consent.

                                  Hot chillies service was activated at 4:18 am 29/04/2018 without my knowledge and RS 75 has been deducted. I want a thorough investigation and I'd like to have my money back. If I get a disappointing reply then I'm gonna switch to Vodafone.
                                  I want to change mail id instead of info i need [protected]@eliteengg.com to be send bills and payment receipts and any other information.

                                      On 20th April I did a transaction ( txn#[protected] of Rs. 249 to recharge my airtel number, this transaction failed but the money was deducted from my account. After this failed transaction i did another recharge of Rs. 549 to sustain my service which was successful.
                                      But when I gave airtel the details of my transaction telling them about the deduction from my account they said that the recharge was successful despite the fact that it wasn't and i had to recharge with another Rs 549. Initially they kept delaying the timeline for automated refund, from 5-7 days to 7-10 days.
                                      In my email i got this transaction number

                                        I have been using airtel broadband for around 2.5 year, in past one year the speed quality (2mbps) has suffered and i have raised multiple requests to rectify it which went in vain. Since last one month Airtel is promoting its new plan in my ares (100 mbps), when i called customer care they said such speed upgradation is not reflected and cant be entertained. I have waited 1 month for them to upgrade the existing plan which never happened. although my neighbours has enrolled to new plan and getting 100mbps speed. Now that i am completely disappointed and have raised disconnection request Airtel is Harassing me by calling every day with some proposition. They are brazen enough to now send a technician to my house without my knowledge and permission. Is there a way i can sue this company for cheating me of my money and trust when i patiently waited for them to upgrade their services and my plan and now harassing me when i have very clearly raised disconnection request.
