My sim was deactivated and no network since two days. When approached airtel store they say it takes 48 hours. Its been 48 hours, still no activation.

Airtel has worst possible customer care. I had extremely worst experience with airtel for my data card (Which i unsubscribed).

Now me and my whole family is gonna unsubscribe from airtel.

Shame on airtel!!!

No Airtel representative has contacted me. Besides I contacted Vidyaranyapura Airtel Stores on 29th March 2018.

An representative said it would take 48 hours, but still no result. Later I spoke to the manager of the store, he said its actually 4 days but not 48 hours. So now I have to wait until Monday. I understand if I had Aadhar biometric enabled it would take 4 hours, but in absence of it its 4 days is real pathetic. So lame service by Airtel.
same here !!! had been doing rounds to airtel customer centres but of no use!!! shame on airtel!!!

Ratan Gowda,

Airtel's customer care is extremely arrogant and ignorant. They act as if they are providing service by paying out of their pockets.

My immediate plan after my SIM activation is to go for MNP.

    This may please be noted that I have taken Airtel 4G hotspot dongle vide model E 5573Cs-609, IME [protected] With Mobile
    no.‪[protected]‬ in ex change of Tata photon ‪[protected]‬
    on7.3.2018 with a plan of799 per month.Ever since It started functioning there is no speed and internet WiFi is not functioning properly .The internet speed is very poor downloading is very poor in my house locality C V Raman nager with pin code 560093 near Bagmane tech park Bangalore.I complained through customer care they did not provide complain number but there was no result. Again I complained on 23.3.2018 they provided a complain number ‪84254694‬ and asked me to wait for three days After three they informed me they need some more time to rectify it. Today is on 29.3.2018 again when enquired about my problem they said they require 120 days to rectify my problem. Now it is going to Rome month ‪on 7.4.2018‬ a bill will generated ₹799/- plus GST which I will have to pay without a single day sevice from the Airtel 4G hotspot.
    In the meantime my tatadocomo photon No.‪[protected]‬ is also generated bill and they are also pressuring for bill payment.This should have been stoped at your end.
    Now it is clear that in my locality Airtel signal is weak and Airtel 4G hotspot will not work 4 G speed is not possible henceI request you to stop my ₹799 plan and Airtel 4 G hotspot dongle to be withdrawn so that I go for some other server with good wifi speed.
    Please note my name is P P Banerjee
    46 BMP Krishinappa Garden C V Raman nager Bangalore 560093
    Kindly stop the dongle I am ready to return it
    Yours sincerely

        एयरटेल डीलर ने कहा कि आप का आधार नंबर जोड़ना है ऐसा कह कर मुझ से बिना पूछे एयरटेल बैंक अकाउंट खोल दिया मैं अपना अकाउंट जल्दी से जल्दी बंद करवाना चाहता हूं। में तीन महीने से परेशान हूं और कई बार डीलर के पास जा चुका हूं लेकिन 1 तारिख की कह कर बात को टाल दिया करता है।...
        कृपया आप से अनुरोध है कि आप मैरे अकाउंट को जल्दी से जल्दी बंद करवाने की कृपा करें।

        धन्यवाद

          I have submitted my request to port sim card from aircel to airtel 3 weeks back but have still not received any signal on my airtel sim card. I called the customer care about the issue and they told me to go to the nearest airtel office. When i went to the office they said the problem will be rectified in a few days but nothing was fixed. This process has repeated three times. Every time i call customer care they tell me to go to the office and after waiting in the queue and wasting more than 1 hour each time they tell me the problem will get rectified in 2 days. I have now waited for 3 weeks and am very disappointed with airtel service.

            There is something seriously wrong with so called india's best network 'airtel'. Well there is not issue to discuss, it's difficult to decide from where to start. First of all the quality of network you promise to provide is definitely somewhere lost. Secondly the most adorable issue of cross connection seems to be your favorite but unfortunately it's not our favourite! And i think i pay you to take care of my choices, right? And what's up with your network? I mean the quality of voice, in fact before that voice should be audible i guess. I know now you will be blaming my phone but i would like to tell you it's recently bought. And there is this [protected] (One more airtel customer) let me remind you is also a most unhappy customer of yours. And specifically with me i just don't understand what's the problem. You guys don't let us talk for god's sake! I mean why?? And after this you claim to be india's best network! Seriously? Look if you really want your valuable customers to be with you, i would suggest to kindly work accordingly.
            Thankyou.

                  Super horrible, pathetic customer services by Airtel. I have requested 5 times to PORT my number due to poor services but no response has come ever & on the top of that whenever I tried to write my feedback on their site's Feedback column, it does not allow you to submit negative feedback. why do companies make feedback columns & customer care teams when they are not open to take the real & genuine feedback. My experience has been horrible. And the icing on the cake is that they keep on charging high without providing services.
                  A BIG SHAME ON YOU AIRTEL. YOU ARE HORRIBLE SERVIVE PROVIDER.

                    Hi,

                    Today march 29 2018 at 4:31 pm, i received a call from airtel office from number +91 [protected].

                    That person was offering me some rubbish plan. I asked him, from where he got the number?

                    He replied that, our office (Means airtel) has all the information. Even he told me my full name and also told me which idea plan i am using. I told him that, this is data breach. He said, yes it is.
                    I said, you are accessing my data in unauthorized way and this is a crime. He said, yes we have data and do whatever you want to.

                    I assume, you understand the seriousness of this issue and will take necessary action.

                    Please make sure you delete my information from your database.

                      My mobile number [protected], I have recharged online for Rs.509 on 09/03/18, it was not credited the same in my mobile, and I have recharged again the same amount on the same day. It has credited. So the same day I had registered a compliant with customer service . But till now I have not received the refund and not taken any action from your side. So many times I had contacted the customers service, they had informed that, " it will be credited in your account with in two working days or maximum will take 10 working days" . Now I want to know the status of my refund.
                      Hope you may do the needful.

                        I have more than 5000 rs in my payments bank account, but I am still unable to make even recharge transaction online payments through wallets.

                        When I tried reaching customer care 400 number the IVRS does not have an option to connect to customer representative.

                        Looks like they have blocked my wallet and no communication from Airtel.

                        I am not able to make payments through online debit card which displayed in my app.

                        Why do they allow me to load money into wallet when I cannot make transactions.

                            We would like to change some of our post-paid sim cards to pre-paid cards. Also, we have to get some of our sim cards blocked too. We request you to take swift action regarding this. Kindly do the needful.
                            We have already contacted one of your representatives, mr. Premkumar, regarding this. But, still, we didn't get any beneficial response from his side. Kindly give us a clarification on what we should do.

                              I am getting unnecessary messages from music and masti about using pop star and other what i didn't permitted. I have airtel prepaid connection using for 3 years. Now i observed that balance amount has been regularly cut and i receive a message from at-airinf saying that "you have been charged rs 3/- for using pop star and crazy racer game. This is happening for 1 months recently on but i have called 121 (Airtel customer care call center), they told it will be disabled later again after one-week same thing repeats!! Simply i lost my amount without making any calls if the amount is reimbursed and same not repeats again, i will be happy.

                              I strongly request to consider my complaint.

                              Thanks

                                  It has started from december onward that whenever i recharged or topup my mobbile the airtel self activated classyandglamvideos service which had been charged ₹15 for three days. This service had started without my consent or permission. The airtel company is cheating with us. The worst airtel company. And when started to deactivate the service it is not responding. Please if everyone who has been cheated by airtel please buycott this airtel company and port it to the other company.

                                  Classyandglam video service self activated without my permission past many months. Lost many topups. Airtel big cheater grap all his customer money without any shame. Why not this service 'on request' who ever needs instead of self activated for all Airtel mobile?

                                        I took a postpaid airtel connection last week for 500 rupees a month.
                                        I was told that the benefits i get with the plan is that i get mobile insurance which cover the cost of any accidental damages.
                                        3 days back i dropped my phone which resulted in damaging the back panel of my phone including a liquid leak on the display.
                                        After availing the airtel secure i was told that sorry we cant process the request as the back panel is damaged.
                                        At the time of joining the representatives behave nicely and make sure you take the connection but later dont care about the customers.

                                        Complete sham.
