I ported my postpaid nos from vodafone to airtel.. My vodafone network got disconnected at scheduled time but when added airtel sim it shows no network.. This is a very very bad service from airtel and i am missing my business calls.. Horrible customer service.
I keep getting calls to port to airtel for good offers and better network coverage, and after porting this is the situation. Please fix it asap.

      Sir
      I have visited Airtel service centre in Onnarpettai Balaji communications and they have told me to link my aadhar by giving 14546 number. I have explained him that I am from Andhra and my sim is taken in Tamilnadu them he is asking me to travel Andhra for linking aadhar to my mobile. Is there any other possibility for linking aadhar??

        I recharged my phone number 2 times by error with two different plan and tried to ask for help from phonepe to which phonepe replied by sending the reference number and asking to consult my service provider but my service provider - airtel customer care said that the recharges done through phonepe are third party recharge and these recharges can't be reversed so i doesnt find the way to resolve this problem to protect its customer's money in future.

            I have obtained mobile hotspot on advance rental basis which has end dated on 09-feb-18. I made a call call on 10-feb-18 to cancel it.

            But the customer service assured me that will change it to monthly basis.

            They did not do it.

            Now they are asking me to pay 3000 for which i did not use it.

            I have launched a complaint. They are very rude

              Firstly every month we are facing problems in invoice how your company is working we really fedup & harassed. I humble request to please streamline on the same as we don’t like to put mails every month to you at the time of making payment.

              See the below screen shot about the charges what you have added
              1) i had asked to stop ir as per attached mail what we had given earlier
              2) in my plan sms is free how can you charge us for local & national sms

                I have been facing the issues with my internet from past 20 days. Despite 3 complaints i have not received any response from them. When i call them, they put me on hold for 20 mins at a stretch and nobody responded. Truly disappointed. Please don't go for airtel broadband. Its like buying a ticket for a airline and traveling in a rickety bus. And the logic they give is we got you to destination.

                Really amazing how incompetent these guys can be.

                              I have ported my number [protected] to airtel. But after my jio sim tower gone, i tried inserting airtel, but it is not showing any tower, when i try to rheach customer care 121 or 198, nothing is routing to actual customer care, i have been hearing only automated voices. After tried 40 mins i left my hope. I don’t why airtel is treating the customer at worst. I feel bad for porting to airtel now. Please somebody help.

                                  I have a saving account with airtel as no.“[protected]”. I did a transaction of rs. 750/- as a recharge of jio no. From the same account on[protected].
                                  As per the transaction my airtel account was debited for rs. 750/- but the same has not been credited to the jio no.
                                  by confirming from the jio team the same transaction has been failed.
                                  i have attached the screen shot as the proof of failed transaction received from jio.
                                  i request you to please credit my account with amount of rs. 750/- because of failed transaction as soon as possible.
                                  regards,

                                    Airtel is cheating by activating the international roaming services late and by not providing the complete activation. There's other problems as well which is as follows:
                                    I'm sick and tired of detailing the issue and explaining it numerous times to each one that called me from the Airtel. Here is my last explanation.

                                    1. Calling - Was disabled on the whole of feb16th which was the day of activating the international roaming service. I was on the streets of a foreign country as I didnt have internet nor calling facility and my sister was on the phone with customer service the whole of that day and finally calling was made active at the end of the day that day.
                                    2. Data - Data wasnt made active and again I had to raise numerous tickets including this to get it active. It was made active only after 20th of Feb.
                                    3. SMS - SMS was working for over 8 days until I had to call out in this ticket.
                                    4. Call Drops - There are calls drops even till this date, your customer care including yourself have called me and there is a call drop after every minute. This continues inspite of the manual setting changes that you asked me to make.
                                    5. Outgoing calls - Each time I make outgoing calls, it says the number is incorrect from march 8th and I'm unable to make calls anymore.
                                    9. Incoming calls - People have to make multiple attempts to reach me as the phone won't connect.

                                    After all if this, they want me to pay 6000 rs as roaming charges for this pathetic service. And I have raised multiple tickets, emails and customer service calls but they won't resolve my issue but just want me to pay. Can you please help me from this exploitation?

                                    Regards

                                    Stanley

                                      On march 7th airtel had activated some entertainment plan without my knowledge. I was not aware of it until march 8th when i received their entertainment message. I immediately checked my balance and saw that ₹15 was deducted.
                                      I spoke to the customer service person and he was saying that they cannot do anything since its been more than 24hours since the service has been activated..
                                      This is a clear cheating done by airtel.. I did not get any message stating that a plan has been activated, else i would have immediately called them to deactivate it..
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
