I havebeen using airtel for last fifteen years and proud to be it but for last few months i have to be forced to change my view due to poor network problems and data charges. I have decided to port my network and applied for it but a call from airtel costumer care promised me to give good plan and i have opted to it. I have been given 30gb data per month but i socked to now that my data had finished within 6days without using so much network. This is all cheating and i m going to leave this # network.

      This is the worst service i've ever experienced!
      The network of this useless company starting giving me problems from more than a year ago. This only happens in the house, not under the building, not any other floors, nor the terrace. This happened when suddenly the signal strength was almost nill but was showing full. Slowly this started expanding to call drops, unclear voice, and also data. I've complained many times, and it was getting looked upon and got fixed, but for a week. This time has slowly reduced to two days max.
      The latest complaint (Complaint number[protected] was registered on 8th march, 2018 (I do have evidence) which said 'out network team will work you within 4 days' (Evidence available) got registered on 10th march, 2018 which has improved by 12th, but since yesterday, 14th march, 2018, we again started experiencing the same problems. Today when i called the complaint number 198 and the customer care number 121, both were saying the exact same thing which is weird, as one says it is just for complaints. Anyways, both of them were saying that the registered compliant numbers' issue is still not completed, and i am not even able to contact them to know the progress nor to communicate any issue regarding this.
      I am tired of this as i cannot repeat the same process again and again. This platform is the last hope i have of them. Fix this issue properly or lose more customers.

          I made payment for new connection of airtel broadband 3 days ago to manoj. His number is [protected]. Now he is giving excuses that there is a technical issue and i didn't get my connection. Airtel customer support are not able to resolve my issue. I want action against him and want my money back. Worst service by airtel. I suggest everyone not to go with airtel. They take money and never listen after that. Please resolve this issue asap.

            I am unable to make outgoing calls in roaming. I am receiving incoming calls alone. My mobile data also does not work. Please resolve issue asap. I am using a telangana number, in karnataka since a month. Now suddenly today, i am not able to call from my phone. I am however able to receive calls. Mobile data also stopped working. Only wifi works.
            When i try to make a call, it gets dropped off within seconds. Why does this happen to my phone. Can you resolve this issue immediately, as it is very important for me to make outgoing calls.

                recharge done twice to airtel prepaid

                Address: Bangalore, Karnataka
                Website: Airtel

                Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 399 and had activated a pack for next 84 days.

                Next using 'phone pe' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 448 and pack for next 82 days.

                I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

                Now they were not ready to refund it as it was done...

                  Airtel money is only allowing us to add money to wallet not to transfer.. This is very big cheating.. If they need kyc updates then they need to restrict both add and send money. But they accept the money but not allowing to transfer..

                  Airtel app is showing the service is temporarily not available. Already 2 weeks gone. Looks like they wants to hold the money.. Also it shows we can use wallet money only for recharge

                    My name is sachin harpale and my mobile no is [protected].
                    I received call from airtel for mobile post paid connection on 06/03/18 (& i do have recording of that communication also) and was informed/committed me about airtel 299 plan plus taxes. As airtel commitment i had done portability of my mobile no [protected] from idea to airtel.
                    Now when my connection got activated i came to know that plan which was activated on my mobile number is 399 plus tax. Request you to solve my problem.

                      *pathetic service of airtel*

                      Hello sir,
                      As discussed on call regarding reference no 83958572 and other issues.
                      I am facing below issues ever since i ported in.

                      1. On my no 95*, i am not getting any call from bsnl an docomo nos.
                      I have raised this issue in nov and was asked to change my sim, even after that issue is not resolved.
                      After contacting again, i have asked to check with bsnl customer care as there is no problem with airtel.
                      Still issue is not resolved

                      2. On my another no 82*, 3g/4g data services are not available in office location.
                      Office location :* hinjawadi phase ii, rajiv gandhi infotech park, pune, maharashtra 411057.

                      We've raised this issue multiple times since january but haven't received any solution.
                      As i discussed with csrs in feb (Multiple times), i already informed that ill not be able to pay the bill if my issues are not resolved.
                      At that time they said it won't be a problem and my connection won't be disconnected.
                      But yesterday my outgoing was discontinued and i have faced lot of challenges to resolve this.
                      I am already sick of calling customer care daily, you can check records.

                      3. Even i had informed regarding bill payment, i have been charged late fee, which should be removed at any cost.
                      As this was because of my pending issues which were not resolved and already communicated to csrs multiple times.

                      Again i have received a call in morning that my incoming will be discontinued shortly.

                      -today after speaking to nodal officer i came to know that these n/w issue will not be resolved easily and they are not able clear out my bill as well.
                      Since my main plan is regarding data and i'm not able to use below services.

                      A) i was not able used any data in jan/feb/march on 82*
                      B) and most of incoming calls were not coming on 95* since november as mentioned above
                      C) and due 3months rule, i was not able to port out to another provider

                      If you know that you will not able to resolve the issue, at least please let us free.

                      Your n/w is pathetic and your service is cherry on that.

When i contact the customer, they said that your sim was deactivated due to not in use for a month. And they also told that my sim will also sold to someone. When i go to the nearby airtel showroom and ask about my sim card, they told that your sim with old number could not be activated. So please help me to retrieve...

                              I have ported aircel number to airtel and after that a message came without signal ranging from airtel sim that 'your network has been registered. Restart your mobile once'. I have restarted but no network shown!
