    My vodafone postpaid number has been deactivated and the new airtel connection has not been activated yet. I’m losing business calls which are highly critical for me to attend in my line of work.

    This is absurd and illogical. Unless one sim is activated, how can the other be deactivated?

    Really unprofessional service and i think i have to reach out to higher authorities to bring this to everyone’s notice unless it is immediately resolved.

      Hello.
      I wish i could scream and yell to you through email.
      You guys keep sending us messages to buy airtel 4g hotspot at rs.999. That is okay.
      But i wish you could put that much effort in making the network good and smooth. I have been using airtel 4g plan of rs.448 i. E. 1.4gb/day but good for nothing. I think you guys know well what 4g speed is like.
      I have complained you guys about the network several times and you just keep on telling that it would be fine soon but when its gonna happen??
      Tell me one last time.
      Will you make the quality of the network good or should i port my sim??
      I hope you answer quick.
      Thank you

        Dear sirs,

        I have ported the above mobile numbers to airtel, but they are not active as yet.

        When i today checked again at your burkit road, t. Nagar kiosk, i was told that both are already active.
        But, they are not working still.

        Airtel has caused me a lot of inconvenience by not properly activating the mobiles. Now i am
        Unable to port out of airtel for another 90 days.in short, airtel has killed my above two numbers.

        Airtel has no business to keep my numbers without activating them. Or, they should release these
        Two numbers immediately for me to port out.

        If this issue is not sorted out immediately, i will, much against my wish, be forced to take up the
        Matter with the district consumer redressal council in chennai.

        Hoping for an immediate solution, i remain,

        Sincerely,

            Dear Concern,

            Please find the attached Documents requested to unfreeze the account to utilize the payment of Rs. 5000 in our Payment bank A/c.No: [protected].

            My earlier Case id which is received from Payments bank below mentioned:

            [CASE:1587432] : Dated 24th Feb 2018
            [CASE:1590656] : Dated 26th Feb 2018

            we upload the amount of Rs 5000/- on 18/03/2017 still now unfreeze the account .

            We have already the share the documents to wecare payments bank team on 24th Feb & 26th Feb 2018 and till as of now unfreeze the account which is unacceptable and not even received any formal call from Customer care representative from Airtel Payment Bank team in repeated calls from us. This will create a negative belief on the service provided by the Airtel Payment bank.

            We once again requesting you to resolve the issue ASAP to continue with Airtel Service.

            Note: The amount was added by CitiBank Credit card which is my friend card, statement has been attached below.

            Regards,
            Hari Kumar.

                        Airtel is very useless and garbage company it's a traitor company known to consume money and provide 1G network in the name of 4G which is against TRAI ethics. its the worlds most useless ### company. i have airtel tower in approximately 100 meter away from my house but still it's sucks and company is totally fraudulent by spreading false claims and commitments all over india to lure us to buy airtel ### garbage piece of waste dustbin. i think airtel must get ban TRAI must cancel its license and companies all Services must be given to the network which is GENUINE by the commitments. i personally Request indian government and TRAI to disqualify airtel from indian market for frauding us by false commitments and claims. its company is totally useless garbage piece of ###. i request my all indian fellows to never buy airtel never switch to airtel in future. they are fraudulent money suckers.

                            I received a message that I have been charged Rs49 for masti pack which I haven't opted. I don't know how I got it and I am unable to deactivate the same. I saw many complaints regarding this. And this is not the way company can charge their users without their consent. Kindly deactivate it and return the mentioned amount. My mobile number is [protected].

                              My airtel mobile [protected]. Reference no. For my request is rsewk[protected]/cgpsc[protected]. It's a must to install an airtel tower at langmeidong mamang leikai, airtel can use my owned land in lease. Kakching district pin 795103; network coverage is quite good at kakching town and its neighbours, but worse at langmeidong and is neighbouring villages. We are getting only 1 network bar or two which is also unstable and fluctuating, calling and surfing becomes demnd horrible, its been a long months suffering such a burden.
                              Hopefully

                                  Hi,
                                  Recently my balance was deducted to 0, calming that i have answered a call for 13 secs and international roaming rental and call cost was deducted.

                                  The phone was switched on and on table, no one was around it during the time airtel claimed the call was answered. There was a missed call (No received call logs) at the time airtel claims the call was answered. I have confirmed there was no voicemail or divert active on my connection.

                                  The issue was raised with customer service and nodal officer and the answer was, as i have answered the call they are unable to do anything and closed the case.

                                  It is clear that airtel's system did start the counter on detection.

                                  How can i ensure this doesn't happen to me again? I am looking for an explanation and a resolution

                                    Hi sir/mam,

                                    I am sudipta beuria with my registered mobile number [protected] has opted for airtel from my previous provider aircel on 06.03.2018. I have received the new sim card and got the network for few minutes, i've had the first recharge however, i have not received any confirmation messages from them nor am i receiving any network. The manual/automatic network selection option on my smartphone isn't working either. I'm in great difficulty because this number is for my office purpose and all the internet transactions are done by receiving one time password in this number.

                                    I've already done the first recharge and called their customer care executive who told me to wait for another 19-20 march. As far as i know it doesn't take that amount of time to port into a new service provider. I also emailed them about this but they have stated a different thing that is my portability request has been cancelled due to upc mismatch and to generate a fresh upc!!
                                    I'm gone nowhere. I don't know what do! The aircel became bankrupt and not working, nor i can get a fresh upc.

                                    You are requested to kindly resolve my query.

                                    There customer service is worst it has been a month since I requested portability but no answer from them. The call center is telling one thing while the email team is telling the other way round. I'm stuck in this problem and don't know what to do!!!

                                      Hi, i am gaurav from dehradun, uttarakhand. I have been using airtel for many years. The internet speed was brilliant when i was using 3g connection but as and when i upgraded to airtel 4g it is really getting annoying day by day.
                                      For facts and hardware concerns let me be clear i have a nokia 6 fully compatible with 4g/lte. The main problem is i have full signal strength but the quality of internet speed i am getting after 6 p. M. Is very low that i have to switch to jio network at night. No doubt i have seen downloading speed over 3mb/s in this same phone with same airtel 4g connection and at same location. At night it is really annoying to use airtel even for surfing.
                                      I look forward for your reply with a valid solution to my problem for now i am using jio connection but i would always prefer airtel if you provide customer the quality of service what they pay for.
                                      Thanks
