Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Recently my airtel sim stopped working it says no service everytime. I went to airtel store and asked them to examine the problem they made me wait for the whole hour and didn't solve the problem. So i took another sim of the same number, they said it would be activated within 24 hours. It got activated but i am unable to send or receive sms through the number, even data cannot be accessed. I tried to call customer care, the automated system didn't work properly. I can't even file a complaint regarding this issue. I live in masab tank hyderabad. Here the signal is worsssttttttttt. I have to wait for 10 minutes to receive otp sms and whoever calls me they get not reachable after 2 minutes or so i receive a message saying that i have 2 missed calls. I live in city goddamn it not even a remote area. Why the # am i paying 399 a month for? And coming to data issues even google page can't be opened here. Every time i complaint to the airtel store, they keep telling me they have network issues here. How long will these issues continue a year, two, three how many years? Its the worst network i have ever used in my life. I heard a rumour airtel is working on 5g networks. What the hell? Not even 4g is working properly they are into 5g. Wowwww. It's such a greatest regret in my life subscribing to airtel service customer care is worsstttttt. I will port my number to jio once my issue is solved.

I have paid bill of my airtel number [protected] amount got deducted but the payment is unsuccessful, either refund my amount or pay the bill as soon as possible if you can refund it this would be great and if not then recharge my postpaid number with the amount i paid

Thank you for your help

Will be waiting for the response try to resolve this issue at the earliest.

Dear airtel executive,
I am a very old customer of your esteemed organization. I was using my prepaid airtel number from 5 years, but due to some very personal reason and circumstances, which include me shifting to other states for a while, i wasn't able to use my number for some time. When i tried using it again, i discovered it is not just working but has been issued to someone else. It came as a shock to me because following is the places i was using my number at
- government documents (Pancard, passport etc)
- bank
- school
- college
- friends
- profesional links
- social media (Facebook, instagram etc)
- websites and software registration (Godaddy)
- ecommerce and payment gateways (Flipkart, amazon, paytm etc)

And countless other places.

That number is like my identity, i am in a huge trouble, so i humbly request you to resolve my issue and provide me with a solution, as soon as possible.
If this will not get resolved, my privacy and countless other things will get at risk.

I hope you understand and will come up with a solution so that i can have my number back.
Thank you.

I was actually switched from airtel postpaid to prepaid in the month of december 2017.

And i cleared all my dues then and there itself in the airtel store for my postpaid account. And recharged with rs. 448/- for 70 days pack something. Then after the pack is completed, i was trying to recharge online and it did not allow me to do that and all the money got wasted in prepaid wallets of paytm, freecharge, mobikwik.

Then i went to airtel store again and recharged with 199/- and the executive told me that from next time onwards.

But again now, i could not able to recharge online. This is frustrating as a user they are not allowing me online recharge from last 4 months. When i try to do it from airtel app it says enter a valid prepaid number.

Hi,
I am not sure if your team is working on my issue my frustration still continues and even after 2 days of my speaking to mr yatin sharma (Someone from corporate office) no one has contacted me back or given me update on the issue i have been facing when ever i call your appellate customer care they tell me to give us some time it is more then 10days i am not aware why i am not able to make and receive calls pls give me feed back on this issues or let me know if you want me to disconnect my airtel bb i am willing to do it along with my 4 cell phone connections.

I am very disappointed with the way my complaint is being handled and i thought airtel was known for it's quality service but nowadays really pathetic services are being provided by customer care team. They opened a request number 83965192, 83970055, 84042725, 84045711 of my complaint, then closed it without resolving the problem. I called again and they raised a new request number 84090639 opened on 16.03.2018 was also closed without resolving the problem. My problem was that i am not able to make and racived call on my number [protected]
I got a call from your executives mr yatin sharma customer experience executive of bharti airtel limited but looks like he is one of the best and promised to resolve the issues by 24hrs but till today nothing has happened they are not at all interested in solving my problem (Are they hired only to waste time?). They are asking me to submit my aadhaar card copy and one photo to airtel store which was done on 16th i did but it didn't resolve the issue. This number i am using from past eight years
When i called customer service on 16th evening, and asked her what happened to the compliant lodge, but, the shocking thing is that she told me that number is under suspaenction which i was not at all aware when i previous called to customer care and asked why i was not informed she told me that my request has been picked up today only. I asked her that from 9 days you didn't even consider my request not able to make and racived call on my number [protected]and she proudly said "yes". (That means i was given false promises by all 8 executives to correct the problem within 1 days of time.) i was with airtel due to it's quality service but now looks like there is no reason of being with airtel why should i be doing running around and making call for past 10dayfor the mistake that has been done from your side. Please check and activate my number

I would be discontinuing the broad band services provided by airtel no. [protected] reason being extra unknown charges which are included in bill though usage is not that much..I would like to go with other providers which are offering more on nominal charges.Please send your executives to remove setup from my home.

Sir,
I visited my nearby airtel centre in ghatampur kanpur nagar to convert my airtel no. [protected] to 4g as i requested by airtel through sms but when i get new 4g sim, man in centre ask for 50rs. And i told that airtel informed me that it's free he start misbehaving i warn him to complain in consumer forum but he didn't bother about this.
So i request u please do needful and instruct that person to return my money and an apology letter to me.

I am now using airtel services since last august (2017), but since my last recharge of 1.5 gb per day the net speed has attained a new low. The data never catches 4g signal, always runs on 3g signal and that too at the speed of 2g.
Being a college student i am in a constant need of high speed internet.
You (Airtel) claim yourself as the fastest internet service provider. But the situation makes it hard to believe you.
So please take necessary actions to improve my network speed,
Or i would rather have no other option than to change my service provider.

Aietel have been a pain with my postpaid service no which i have been using for quite a few years no. Have been facing loads of problem in past few weeks. However this one is epic. When ever i receive a call for any caller details available or not it show as unknown for all the incoming calls and the call log also show as unknown with out any details.

Have tried changing the phone as well but still the same problem following up with airtel store as well as customer care but for almost 15 days, they have been good for nothing.. Could we please escalate the issue?

Dear team,

This concern is for my mobile no: [protected], which i used for past 3 years and for my personal reason i make it switched off on 15th feb 2018 and on 18th feb 2018 when i put sim card again into my cell phone it showing invalid sim.

Then i go and visit to airtel store at karol bagh and meet with mr. Sunny kohli on 03rd mar. 2018 and he said that this number is issued to another costumer on 18th feb 2018.

If my aadhar was linked with it how it could provide to another person.
This number is linked with my every personal data and if any think goes wrong of any misuse happen with it so who is the responsible for that i want this no back again if you can't do anything then i will take a legal action.

Airtel is such a fraud company they don't resolve my concern yet. Here someone used my aadhaar card by my number ([protected]).

This number is belong to arun and aadhaar number is ending with "9644" is issued to another costumer with the name "kundan raj".

Now i have to go for file an fir in the name of airtel and kundan raj for the legal action.

This number is belong with my bank account, my pan card, my aadhaar card or much more my personal details check it's details and provide me back this number asap.

Contact me with [protected].

So you are requested to remove or shift it within week after that we will not responsible for that.

I received mobile activation message but still now there is no. Tower this number i need to activate very urgently. I think i will get solution as much earlier after this complaint. Im trying to contact airtel customer care not at all able contact i tried to solve this issue so many times

I gave a mnp request at airtel showroom sembium (Airvoice) on 10th march - customer care explains that the request got denied on 12th march but the showroom people claim that information from customer care is wrong and are not initiating the next process-worst showroom needs action. Almost every customer is being treated like a slave-lady staff are arrogant and male staff back them up. They don't even bother to answer customer queries - worst treatment to customers

Changed airtel sim from 3g to 4g sim. Sent message of sim no. To 121 and got confirmation. Sent "1" for confirmation all messages with my old sim. Then received message that sms services will not work for 24 hrs. The old sim got deactivated. After two days, new 4g sim is still not working. Not sure whether it got activated. When i called customer care, i was informed that the new sim is activated. But, it is not working. Please help how to make the new sim work. Thanks.

This is arnab. I have the airtel number since last 5 years. On 2/3/18, suddenly i started receiving random calls. I suspected that my number must have been given to someone else. I called up the customer servuce and they confirmed the same. They said they would give me a call which i have never received. However, the issue was resolved by next day for few hours. After that my service got deactivated and there was no network. Called the customer service again and they said they would resolve the issue. However, no calls and issue was also not resolved. Again, i called up on 17/3 and shriram picked up the call. He put me on long holds and then when he could not do anything he passed on the call to biplav. Biplav promised that the issue would be resolved by 4 pm and he would call up by 5 p. M which he never did. Atrocious service with dumb people in customer service who do not have the basic courtesy. Till now no calls, no apologies, no service... And this is my primary number
