    Airtel claim fastest 4G network but in Vaishali Nagar and Pratap Nagar, Jaipur download speed of Airtel 4G is 0.4MBPS .
    When complaint at [protected]@in.airtel.com reply received in your area our network is good means they feel customer is not important for them.
    Airtel gives there add in TV that fourth time okhla said fastest 4G network in India but this is not true in Jaipur capital of Rajasthan speed found 0.4mbps which is slower than 3G.

      I made an online recharge via PayTM app for Airtel Tamil Nadu - Prepaid for Rs. 509. PayTM showed me a confirmation for the same after 5 mins, but even after waiting for 20 mins, I didn't receive a recharge on my mobile. After navigating for 1 hour on an IVR call at PayTM, I was told that my issue can only be resolved at the operator.

      At this particular time, I did not even know what the issue was, I thought it was simply a case of bad transaction. Airtel told me that Paytm will "self" realize their mistake and refund my money in 10 working days. When no such procedure started on Paytm's side, I decided to contact them again. After threatening them with a Consumer's Court complaint, I got them to contact me. They told me that I recharged the number "[protected]" instead of "[protected]".

      After this I contacted airtel. After Waiting for 30 mins on an IVR call, I finally could speak to a service rep. He basically denied any assistance outright and told me that it was my mistake. I asked to speak to the manager. The manager after telling me that he could help me, told me that as I have made a mistake in more than 1 digit, the case is hopeless and that I have basically lost Rs.509.

      They fail to understand that even though I have made an error in more than 1 digit, it's human to do these mistakes and the company policies should be flexible enough to ensure that their customers do not incur such losses.

      I am hence using this platform to complaint about this issue, and hoping for a refund.

        I chosed the 499rs plan in gwalior with speed upto 4 mbps though i always gets the speed till 500kbps or slower than that... also when i asked them about my plan they told me its upto 2mbps speed then why showing 4mbps on the site... and when i asked why my speed is slow they told my house is a bit far okay i understand that but then why show 4mbps on the site showing gwalior huh???
        i live in gwalior and i dont get the speed told by airtel... if the problem is that my house is a bit far then write it on the site that speed may vary though locations...

          I am from Ahmedabad & using Airtel postpaid connection. But 4G internet speed is dead slow. Due to that i am forced to use another network. Also, i have checked the net Speedtest 0n OOkla, but its really very poor. I made a complaint 4-5 month back as well. But no activity happened for resolving this issue. I am attaching the image of Speedtest as well.

            This complaint is regarding a network issues that are being faced by me at my residential area.
            Here the network is really very pathetic.
            You guys are just advertising about your company that airtel has reached many places and with a good network coverage etc etc but to be very honest this is fake you guys are running business but service, , , , , , as i mentioned earlier is pathetic, to get the good 4G signal, I have to come outside of my compound. That's pathetic, only 2G signal is available inside the compound and home, even this also not good. Previously I was using other provider, was better than your network. Please solve the this issue ASAP.

              Whenever working on network and being online the internet connection drops and when I check the broadband router it shows only 2 lights blinking rather than 3 when the connection is steady.Post 2-3mins the network comes back online. This has been happening since airtel has upgraded the router to support the V-fiber net . The drop in network connections is constant since the last 2-3 months and no action has been taken on this post several complaints about the same. Airtel service is good but no idea why this cannot be resolved.This causes a lot of pain and irritation especially when we are connected to office and doing work.Due to this work is affected and metal stress increases.

                I subscribed for Airtel's broadband connection, with which, they promised to provide one year's free amazon prime subscription.
                I have been calling the Airtel employee for about 2 months and he's been giving excuses and not providing immediate help or information.
                The helpline numbers the company has provided just plays the same recorded messages which are very frustrating.
                I am very irritated with this behavior of the employees and the company.
                I want immediate response and compensation or else I'll have to take further actions.

                  Hi, I am using Airtel number 9972*****4 from 13+ years, last week suddenly the mobile number got disconnected without any intimation, now I am not able to use my mobile number, as I was using from long time this number was linked to many other. When I called Airtel customer care they said, you are not using this number from 45 days, but I reached every month, I have proof about all those. This is very pathetic, I visited near by Airtel center around 5 times, but nothing happened. Looks like one of worst service Airtel have. Looking for immediate resolution

                            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.
                              Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                      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.
