      I have been using airtel mobile since past 10 years and including all my family members and friends. There is a total black out of signal in this area sector 68 mohali punjab. I have complained on 14 march 2018 but no response from airtel. No team has visited. Please resolve the issue or else we will have to surrender all the numbers of airtel in this area and switch to other company. Further i am not going to pay the bill due to no service /poor service. Hope you will resolve speedily. Airtel service had no problem in past was very reliable, only now past one month this problem has been experienced

      My Airtel number [protected]. I receive messages saying Value added services are being activated. But I never request any such services. Dear Airtel, why it is happening. Because of fault in your system why customer should pay more money?
      1. Correct your system
      2. Return the money to customers, which was wrongly charged.

      Regards.
      Sir,

            I ported from Vodafone to airtel and paid RS.520 for free calls, sms and internet for 80 days. I'm not able to send messages and make calls. It says that I don't have sufficient balance. I hardly talk too. There's isn't even an option to talk to customer care executive. My phone number is [protected]. Make sure it is sorted asap.

                Hi,

                I have loaded 10000 to my airtel payments bank account. But i could not able to transfer amounts to my bank accounts. I called customer care and complained, they said rbi rule you can not transfer amount to other bank accounts until rbi release new order for airtel. I asked refund amount through mail, they did not response for complaint mail.

                Please do not load any cash to airtel payments bank account, once you loaded you can not transfer to any bank accounts, you can use it for only recharge your mobiles recharge, gas, electric, datacard, dth, payments. But you can not utilise 10000 for those payments.

                Important note to airtel: in electricity payments list won't show "tamilnadu electricity board", and you can not pay eb bills for tamilnadu eb.

                Requesting all not to load any cash in airtel payments bank and struggle for refund amounts.

                    Thank you airtel for this amazing experience... You left me no choice but... Throw the sim...

                            I am akshay singh from jaipur.
                            I have a problem with my airtel number past 1 month and contacted to the nearest airtel store that i couldn't recharge my airtel number as i mentioned above and the sms service is also deactivated but they are helpless and doing nothing.
                            So it's a kind request to look in this matter.
                            [protected] my airtel number.
                            Thank you

                              My number is +[protected]. I have been offered a monthly rent of 399 from airtel for porting out from vadafone (Which i was using from 7 years). To my surprise when i got ported to airtel i got to know my plan is 499 and they offered a waiver of rs 100 for 3 months.. I requested them if i can port back to vodafone as they have given all false promises. They are telling me to wait for 3 months to do the same. I regret to change my service provider from vodafone to airtel.. Just to get a customer from a different service provider the tele callers of airtel are committing all false promises. Request all not to fall for it. When i called their customer care to lodge a complaint on the same they took a complaint but never reverted back.. When i tried calling them again they said there is no complaint.. Such is the service..

                                I'm facing network issue at my location. The signal strength is too weak where data drops to 70-80 kbps in 4g frequently.

                                Complaint was logged on mar 1st, 2018 but no proper response from the customer care. I can hear these non sense words such as - we can check that the outdoor signal quality in your area is excellent. The problem you are facing could be due to inadequate indoor coverage.
                                We would like to inform you that we are continuously working on expanding our network and your inputs are taken for future network planning.

                                You ppl expand your network else shut down the company, that's not my problem.. I have paid rs.475 for 4g connectivity with 1gb data for 84 days.. If you are unable to provide service.. Refund my money back.. I have better options to do..

                                Open network status shows that the signal strength is excellent but this is false (Snap attached). Its same like what you did in ookla speedtest..
                                Also i live in city not in rural area. Airtel claims they are india's # 1 network, but it is a false statement.

                                Request you to consider this on priority and do the needful if else give my money back..

                                Info shared till now :

                                1. Location where you are facing the issue, do mention if any landmark nearby with pin code.

                                #solai nagar 2nd cross, old katpadi, vellore-632007

                                2. Number of signals:

                                1 to 2 (Inside the house)

                                  I am post paid customer with connection number [protected] for last several years. Ihad switched to prepaid plan and again to post paid plan since november, 2017.
                                  Contacted yogesh to switchover to pre paid plan again and submitted duly filed and complete form with aadhar id copy. He mentioned document not clear. How airtel has changed plan in the past based on same document. Behaviour of the staff at allahabad store was not proper rather rubbish which has hurted me grossly.

                                  Despite such long association i am switching to some other company like vodaphone or idea etc.

                                      I gave a request from postpaid to prepaid migration on 12-apr-2018. You guys followed the process and deactivated my postpaid sim on 14-apr-2018, but you didn’t updated my details for prepaid sim. How can you be so careless and trouble your customers. When i called customer care on 14 night they informed me that my details not updated, after visiting your showroom i called customer care again on 15 once they responded so arrogantly that my details not yet updated. Yesterday when i called customer care for activation they informed that only my name is updated and no other details, today they are telling details updated and recharge was not done. I am suffering from last 3 days because of your carlessness. If you want customers to roam around your showroom and beg you... And your customer care executives guys are such a arrogant people they don’t want to hear to customer issues. Today is the 3rd day from the day of deactivation of my postpaid, when i am telling you that i am suffering for 3 days, you guys reply me that you see a person who suffered for 7days. This is really shame on your airtel service. I am wondered why you say “airtel promise” when you can’t meet the minimum requirement of a customer.

                                        I am really sorry to say airtel is having worst services for its airtel secure device claim services. Service request # 2970492. Raised a claim online and since last days received multiple calls but no email communication, finally they called me that it will not be covered under airtel secure as per t&c.

                                        If after parking the car, phone was in my hand and while closing the gate, gate strikes on my hand by mistake and due to that force phone slipped from my hand and got broken. So why the hell these people are saying no.
