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 customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
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

      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

              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.

                      they given me offer via sms that if i recharge with Rs 1499 (for 6 months) then i will get 6 months free.

                      but after i recharged with same amount i did not get any offer.
                      in addition they removed many existing channels from my package.

                        I have purchased a New Airtel 4G Wifi Hot Spot along with post paid Airtel Data SIM No.[protected] against 6 months advanced Rental paid for Rs.3, 600.00 as on 09.04.18 and got the Receipt also.

                        Totally I am not able to use the above purchased Airtel 4G Hot Spot due to very low Data Signal Strength in my House during the date of Purchase on 09.04.18 onwards to till the date.I have complained the Airtel Customer Care, Chennai, Tamil Nadu vide Complaint Number 84652300 dated 10.04.18.

                        But There is no use against my requested the above complained because till the date neither any Technical Team of Airtel are not visited to our House and nor improved the Signal Strength and also not practically realized my problems of purchased Airtel 4G Hot Spot against no and Low signal strength.

                        The above Airtel 4G Wifi Hot Spot along with SIM I have purchased from the Airtel's Own Show Room, NGO Colony, Adambakkam, Chennai 600 088, Tamil Nadu, they are also totally not taken care of my several calls simply rejecting or refusing the attend the calls-Ref: Show Room Mobile Number : [protected]. I am not able to frequently visit the above Airtel Show Room because I am working as a Finance Manager in the reputed Private Limited Company due to lack of times.

                        Finally I have requested to refund the money against advance rental paid (from 09.04.18 to 08.10.18) for Rs.3, 600.00 after deducting the fees of one week utilization whatever may be. But I have received the email communication from Airtel Customer Care, Chennai, Tamil Nadu has stated that not possible to refund the amount because I have paid for the Advance Rental Plan. This is really hurt my mind and annoying my self how they are saying like this without giving proper service or How to myself digest the paid amount of Rs.3, 600.00 against without using their Airtel 4G Wifi Hot Spot.

                        I have already decided to claim the amount through legally or using the help of TRAI. So I am requesting you kindly arrange to get the refund amount of advance amount paid to Airtel, Chennai, Tamil Nadu or kindly arrange to improve the Signal Strength to continue use the 4G Airtel Wifi Hot Spot without any loss of Signal Data in my house please.

                        Finally I have requested the Airtel Customer Care, Chennai, Tamil Nadu to refund my advance payment of Rs.3, 600.00 after deducting the current 15 days whatver may be. But I have got email communication from Airtel Customer Care, Chennai stated that not able to refund the amount because your Plan is Advance Rental Plan. So this communication very much hurt my mind and myself is annoying against the such communication how to I can digest my self without using their service after paid the Rs.3, 600.00.

                        I am requesting you kindly arrange to get the refund of my advance paid amount of Rs.3, 600.00 (through the helfp of TRAI) from the Airtel, Chennai, Tamilnadu or immeditely to improve the Signal Strength to use the Data without signal loss in my house .

                            Well I m a resident of Kolkata, West Bengal, I ported into Airtel just because Tata DoCoMo does not have 3G or 4G services almost 2-3 years back. I had been using Airtel since 2016 & eventually had been complaining since last 14 months about the rediculous coverage Airtel has at different places of Kolkata.

                            So far the Fastest Network as the Global leader Okhla has certified it's nothing but rubbish I presume or rather Airtel must have paid something to Okhla for this certification. Since the Data rollover started in Airtel my Data balance last month was 293 GB on just a single number. Calls usually drops on Airtel so you can never be sure of a smooth communication. So far Network signal is concerned across Kolkata wherever you go you can only see 1 Bar at the Network signal. Only few places of Kolkata Airtel does have wonderful Services. What more to say just this month I ported out of Airtel & currently using Vodafone & I find much better coverage at least in Kolkata. Anyways I would seriously recommend Airtel absolutely is not a Network for Kolkata.

                              I have been experiencing worst network experience with airtel for more than 2 months. Started from on call complaints i moved to e-mail complaints. After dropping my first complaint over e-mail a new problem started which was getting 2-3 calls every day from their executives. Tooo much irritating. Now i scare of dropping any more mails to them the first reason why i scare is they can't resolve my concern and the second is they will irritate me with so many calls. I have requested them to at least visit the location. Airtel should not advertise this much when they are not able to provide that much strong network experience to its customers.

                                I bought airtel number [protected] data sim last year but now for the last 3 to 4 months i am not using this.
                                But everytime a bill of about 1500 is generated and customer care people are calling and forcing me to pay the bill even when i have not used it.

                                In the month of January also i was forced to pay around 800 rupees saying that after this we will deactivate your sim and no more bills will be made.But nothing of that sort happened and again now a bill of 1500 rupees is made.

                                I will not pay any amount now further.

                                Stop your customer care from calling and troubling me.
                                You cab deactivate this sim.
