My airtel prepaid mobile service stopped working from morning due to the error simcard registration failed😓. Tried using a different phone but never worked🙄. I tried contacting airtel customer care (It took 42 min to connect to customer care by dailing 198 and 121 to reach them) one lady was very rude in answering my queries and finally they are asking to buy new sim 😡

This is 3rd time i changed my sim by paying 150 everytime within 3 months but this time gonna change network... Hell with airtel😡 👿

      To whom it may concern,

      My name is gurinder sandhu

      I raised a complaint and request using the airtel secure accidental insurance as my mobile broke from the edge because accidentally it got slipped from the bed. All the necessary documents and photographs have been submitted timely and i got a response that the claim has been rejected & the reason which was shared with me was so-called "negligence"

      Negligence, are you serious, what the definition of accident & negligence? I am not paying & have not taken this secure services from the insurance provider to hear their lame excuses. I am going to proceed with a legal option if not taken my request seriously.

      If the device slipped and cracked, i think this is what we call an accident as this was not done intentionally & accident does happen with no intention.

      I am feeling cheated as airtel did not keep their promise & i am not getting the service i have paid for. Request you to please review and have this sorted for me or else i would be left with no other option but to seek assistance and help from our consumer court.

      I hope someone will review and look into the problem and help me in resolving the issue.

      (Email marked to [protected]@airtel.in)

      Thanks
      G. Sandhu

        Dear team airtel,

        I am a loyal customer of airtel and we in our family trust you a lot. I have applies for a new broadband connection on[protected]. Your person mr sanjay yadav (Contact number :- [protected]) visited my place and collected a amount of inr 1000 for the connection stating that we will be getting the connection on[protected]. I understand that there might have been some problem due to which it was not possible for him to get that done, but at least we as a customer expect a call back or answer to our call. Mr in his 1st place has not contacted us. When i contacted him from my number twice followed by my wife number today morning he did not even answer our calls. Later today afternoon some how he answers my call and stated that it will not be done today and hanged up the call without giving me a appropriate answer.

        I need to understand what kind o[censored]nprofessional behavior is this?
        Is that airtel has so many customers that they are not able to handle them?
        Do you people think that you have recruited the correct people in correct portfolio?

        Kindly find my contact number in the signature and ask someone from your team to contact me on immediate basis

        Regards

                      We as non - resident indians (Nri) on a short visit home found the purchase of prepaid mobile plan very difficult in the absence of an aadhar card. I believe that it is only the ‘residents’ who are entitled to obtain an aadhar number (Section 3 (1) of the aadhar act), and we do not fall under the definition as provided in section 2 (V) of that act. As such, insisting on aadhar as an identity from nris, when they are not eligible to enrol for aadhar, is incorrect. Passports with visa should be an alternative means of establishing an identity and an nri status, and this has been reiterated by the authorities through various circulars.

                      We had visited a bharati airtel office in bangalore (The one near christ university, probably bannerghatta main road and the store manager, sandesh kumar p insisted on aadhar card even from nris, which is against the rules.

                      I wish to hear from you your views and interpretation as this ignorance on the part of the company has caused much inconvenience to us.

                            — but please note that the sim number is wrong in the above reply.. The last character 'u'[protected]u) is omitted.

                            When i insert my new 4g sim it is not showing network.

                            Please suggest me what i can do and help me my new sim card is activated. Right now i am in a situation that i cannot use my old sim and as well as new sim. Please help me in this regard.

                            Please note that my airtel number assosicated with the new 4g sim card is : [protected]

                            Thanks,
                            Ashok

                              Address: 180006

                              I am a resident of bahu fort jammu, j&k.
                              180006
                              It has been long since a mobile tower of airtel and vodafone in our residential area has been consuming people's health over years. A lot of sleep disorders have been dragging people from everyday problems such as concentration problems to major problems such as cancer, diabetes-related, mental disorder, tumor and so many other life threatening problems we will face.
                              The problem is mostly detoriating health of people of this area who can't seen to even get an undisturbed sleep and that makes the problems worse. I ask you for immediate help. Please kindly consider the complaint.
                              Thank you.
