    On march 13th i ve applied for mnp from my aircel number to airtel but they have shown no response
    Its not activating customer service replied to wait for some more time or visit store
    I visited store they replaced with new sim and ask me switch on after 4 hours by the way its not working even after 4 days
    They even called and referrals are over
    They even visited home for confirmation long back but the sim is not activating so far
    Poor response from airtel
    Highly inconvenient for customers
    There are other services who take thier customers seriously and fix their problems as soon as possible

      I am a tourist here in india. So the story goes like this: i bought an airtel sim a week ago in pondicherry with the 90gb plan all pre paid. Its a week after and i still have no signal. 3 times i called each time i call the service center they tell me to try re inserting the sim and waiting 3-4 hours until it starts working. Feel like i have been ripped of and the sim will never get reception. Please help me

        Airtel has deducted whatsmob service activate charge which I don't even know. They have deducted @ Rs 150/- per month with consent of the consumer, which is not only unethical but tantamount to committing fraud. Gullible customer are being taken for a ride for which company must be hauled up and subjected to heavy financial punishment.

        There is typing error in my complaint. Airtel have not taken any consent from customer for deducting the charges.

          I have an airtel bihar number which was in postpaid plan. I requested to change it to prepaid. Prepaid is done on 10th april 2018, from that time till now i m not able to recharge it in any way. Airtel store people sent a mail to higher authorities but couldn't get resolved. Customer service suggest to go to airtel store but nothing happened. I m stuck with this sim. I need to recharge so that i can make call/messages. Airtel twitter service also say, it will be done in 2 days then 4days but nothing happened. Urgent resolution is required.

            I had launched a complain to airtel almost a month ago and then i mailed them too and then also contacted via telephone again but my problem with upload speed is not solved yet.
            In a 4g enabled phone with a 4g connection i am getting almost 350kb/s upload speed in youtube which is horrible. My pincode is 700124 and this is a 4g covered area and airtel's open network program also shows this area as a 4g covered area.in my house i am getting this slow upload speed where my download speed is upto 4mb/s and when i told these to airtel they said it is a issue with indoor connection. Airtel said they will solve this problem within 1week but they didn't.

            My airtel number is: [protected]

              The # network ever seen... It gives add for world's fastest 4g network... My a*...

              Couldn't even open google chrome for like a min.

              Google maps are still loading for half n hour to calculate the route in the city...

              Like right besides the tower which it showed in open network there is no signal at few times..

              Even if i let them see what's the issue... Those urls are also not working...

              And because of that i have lost many clients while dealing with them... Just because bad reception..

              I had idea... And i was so happy with it...

              Airtel has made it miserable... I hope if it doesn't resolve it i am going back to idea asap

                  Airtel network is deteriorating day by day. Out of 24 hrs, i have to keep searching and registering for the network for atleast 12hrs. Due to this i have missed immensely important calls. I have suffered a huge loss due to the poor network facility. There is zero network. I had made a complaint earlier but you guys paid no heed. There is absolutely no network on my airtel sim, therefore i cannot even call the customer care/ support.
                  You guys have started taking customers for granted. But this time i mean serious business.
                  I am issuing a serious complaint against airtel in the consumer forum and trai. I am also filing a case against you for cheating the customer and looting money and providing zero service.
                  I will see to it that your goodwill and reputation burns down.
                  Airtel will have to compensate for my losses.

                    I had converted my airtel postpaid account to prepaid by clearing all the due as per my airtel app. Now after that i am getting message for postpaid bill amount. I am not able to find the details of this amount neither it is showing in the app. Tried contacting customer care but all fail. Myairtel app customer support also does not redirect me properly. I am not sure whom should i contact. I am not going to pay any over burden charges due to this mesh. Airtel should work on customer complaint and services sections.

                        Hi,

                        I have paid inr 3998.00 to activate international roaming on my mobile number - +91-[protected] but both my offline calls n data aren't working. I am only receiving incoming calls. 121 doesn't work and i don't find any other way to reach out to the airtel team to resolve my issue. When traveling abroad, it is lot more important to stay connected to handle regular tasks. Extremely dissatisfied at your service.

                          We are suffering due to network since last two years, there is no incoming and outgoing calls, to talk any one we are going one the top of the roof or for net surfing there is no any 4g signals are coming even after going on the top of the roof. Two year back your network was excellent and we never suffer these type of problem. We enjoyed a lot through your network. Kindly do the needful steps for best network coverage. We are your old customer since beginning and if you people provide us good services then its ok otherwise we will be forced to port the company.
                          Hope you will take action regarding above subject asap.

                                  My customer id of airtel dth is [protected]

                                  I didnt had any dth connection at my home. On 18-04-18 i looked at different sites for dth connection online order. I came accross airtel dth where in they were charging rs 4700 for hd setop box with 12 months subscription of channels. They were offering 349 channels & 49 hd channels. I paid and waited for further action. Same day i received a call from airtel that when service person should be sent for installation, i said you tell when you want to send as that time i was in office. They said they will call back. Then i went for a meeting for an hour. When i came back i saw there were miscalls. So i called back, it was from airtel i asked pls tell for what you had called, they said sir service man had went to your location but you didint picked phone so he has come back. I said i was never informed when he was coimng. Then they disconnected phone. After 10 minutes i recevied msg. That your order has been cancelled. I called back on 12150 airtel cusotmer care and asked what is happening, i was told that service person will come tomorrow for installation. Next day again in morning call came that service person will come for installation, at what time we should send. I said you send them in between 01 pm to 02 pm. They said ok. No ones call came till 3 p. M. After that i got call from service man that when should i come, you tell me your address. I gave him details. He came at 3.30 and installation finished by 6.30 p. M.

                                  He told me in two hours your connection will get activiated, you pls keep your settop box active. Whole night i kept on, i didnt got activated. Then next morning i called customer care for activation, they said by 7-8 p. M. It will be activated. Then i re called at 7.30 p. M. As still it was not activated, they told to wait till 9-10 a. M. Next day. I got very angry with this. But had no option as i have paid money. Again night pass connection not got activated. Then on 21-04-18 in morning i called customer care and said will this be activated, i was told pls wait till 2 p. M.

                                  You can imagine the amount of stress i would be going through with all these insensitive and immature promises made by airtel peoples.

                                  Finally at 11.30 am connection got activated.

                                  But to my surprise now another problem started only tamil language was activiated. No hindi serials, cinemas, news chaneels nothing was coming. I called customer care and asked they your pack has been activated tamil and 4 hd channels. I said i have subscribed for 349 channels and 48 hd channels, he said no this is what is coming now. I said i have paid 4700 then he said let me check, then he said seems there is some issue pls give us 4 hrs of time will resolve this, after this i ended my communnication.

                                  I dont know whether promised 349 channels and 48 hd chaneels will be given. Airtel is such a big brand and they are so poorly managed, i couldn't imagine that. I'm totally disheartened today they way i'm cheated and treated by airtel.

                                  Copy of amount charged and channels details as appearing on website of airtel is attached for reference.

                                      Since last 5 days outgoing calls & internet service stopped abruptly. Visited your kothrud service center twice (Opp yatri hotel, kothrud) i was asked to change the simcard, which did not work. Despite my spending on hour in said service centre, problem persisted.

                                      Very casual approach of the employees, unsatisfactory service.
                                      If not solved the problem in 24 hours i will be constrained to shift to other mobile service provider.

                                        I used to have airtel broadband and i changed to other isp as there was no 100 mbps feasibility in my area. I called airtel recently a month back and asked them for feasibility and i was told that 100 mbps still not available. From that day onward i am getting calls everyday from airtel. They are asking that i applied for airtel broadband. I keep telling that i got an information that there is no feasibility. For one month i keep getting calls when i was in office and meetings. I got a call today asking me for same and i told that i keep getting calls from airtel and he disconnected the call while i am talking. Never expected such rude behavior from airtel. I am never going to use airtel again. It has become worst and their service is pathetic.
