In April i called the open network 12118 complaint regarding the same. They informed, By April 30 the issue will be solved as the tower upgrade will be finished. Now June 3rd i called up again raising the same complaint they say there is good coverage shown in there database. It keeps switching from 4G+ -> 4G -> H+ -> H -> E. After 1 - 2 Min back to 4G or 4G+ with very low speed. Call drops often.
For the last 3 recharges of 448 the around 9 months situation is the same at my House, Pincode(695029). Changed phone, still no use. One of my friend residing @ chakka, Enchakkal ported mobile no from DoCoMo to Airtel (as i suggested Airtel call clarity is good, and offers stable connectivity & internet) got really ### for last 6 months with call drop & no signal.
Recently same issue at Kovalam (695527) office. 4G dead slow. even shift phone 2G network finds it hard to keep up the signals during calls.

Airtel is becoming very poor in service and charges high rates as before for this poor service...

      Hi,

      I am using Airtel postpaid from January 2016 having relationship number [protected]. Recently I migrated from postpaid to prepaid. Today, 12-March-2018 around 04:00 PM IST, they did shut down my postpaid sim and I inserted the prepaid sim card as instructed earlier. From then even after 6 hours, I am not able to activate the sim. The customer care is not picking up the call. Once they picked up and said you details are not updated. Visit the store again for the same. If the details are not there, then why did airtel did shut down my postpaid connection! Now they are not even responding. I am out of my primary number. Please take exemplary steps for this organisation. I am feeling like cheated.

            I have recharged Rs93 on my airtel no. [protected] with facility 1gb net and unlimited local calls for 1 month. I input my airtel sim in 1st slot of my 4g smartphone. But after recharge the highest speed was 2kbps though 4g network is available here. I complained 2 times but don't get any solution. And now I have to face a problem - At the time of outgoing call network shows "no service" and after disconnected full network is shown as usual. What a system of airtel to income..

              I have been sent a bill by airtel amounting to 34000 rupees, whilst on international roaming in iran.
              tel no. [protected]
              The network available there was 2g, that too super slow. As per my phone data records, i have used around 40 mb, whilst the customer service is telling different data amounts every time, 40 gb, 4 gb. First time they called and told me i have been billed 4 lac rupees, and its discounted to 34000.
              After that only the guy for recovery is calling me regularly, whilst the airtel customer care guy is himsel[censored]nclear about data billed, and on every call telling vague numbers.
              If such a big company is doing such kind of cheating and fraud, the only recluse might be the consumer courts and to sue them for 10 times of the amount billed, and the mental agony caused.

                      Hello,
                      I am not getting airtel signal at my home and lodged a complaint with airtel
                      The service request is put on hold as per the status i see in the app. Nobody from airtel bothers to update status or brief me on what is happening.
                      I myself have done multiple follow up calls, but no use.
                      I am highly dissatisfied with this kind of attitude from airtel and will definitely terminate the connection

                            I deposited 10000 in my airtel payment wallet. After deposit when i tried to use the amount then it was showing you cannot debit this amount account is freezed. So i contacted customer care they asked for my aadhar card and pan card and bank statement of my transaction. I sent all then they said your dob is not correct in our record so we cannot unfreeze your account until you converted your account in airtel payments bank saving account and to convert into saving account i need to verify my kyc via aadhar which is not available as aadhar canceled airtel license. So i cannot use my money. I am waiting since 50days. But no resolution happen. Please unfreeze my account as i am giving all proof of my dob.

                              Dear sir,

                              I am a resident of paras seasons, sector 168, noida.

                              I had purchased airtel broadband connection on 10th march 2018 by paying advance 6 months amount (As the dealer insisted that by paying advance amount for longer period, it will cost me lesser monthly rental). I had paid rs. 5428/- (Caf number:[protected], the dealer had promised that the connection will be activated either same day in evening or latest by next day morning (I. E. 11th march 2018). However they kept delaying it, and i kept calling them up to get it activated, and they kept saying it will be done. This wasted my entire weekend as i kept waiting for their representative to come and activate the connection. I also requested them to return my money so that i could get the connection through some other service provider but they are not even ready to return my money.
                              This is complete harassment, they could have clearly told me that this will not happen so i would not have wasted my 2 days chasing them. I kept waiting for them to resolve this till late night of 12th march as they said it will happen today but ultimately they stopped taking my calls and neither they came for activating my account.
                              Please help me to get my money back and take proper action against the service provider and dealer so that they can not harass other customers in future.

                              Regards
                              Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                              I applied broadband service from airtel and paid Rs.500 as installation charges but as the promised pack speed was not upto par so i cancelled before installation, but i was not paid back the installation charges afterward and i'm not even able to contact the person in charge.
                              I have ported my [protected] number into another network but it's not changed to that network.

                                My airtel number was of delhi circle and i requested for porting to karnataka circle on 3rd march 2018. They did aadhar verification also. I received the confirmation message on the 8th march. At 10pm my old sim was deactivated and new sim did not work. It said 'network not available'.
                                After this, i made so so many calls to customer care and they said they had no information regarding this number n i should contact the airtel store where i had forwarded the request.
                                I went again to the store to get my sim activated. They gave me a new sim n said it will be activated in next two days. They have applied for processing! And when i check with customer care, they still have no information!! And want me to re visit the store. And when i check with store, they have no response received yet from the back end.

                                Where do i go now?! That number of mine is the registered number at all legal places and my day to day life is stuck!!
                                I escalated the matter to higher official too.. But no response still!!
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                                I have recently shifted my network circle from Delhi to Karnataka, everything works fine but registering my SIM on 4G network.
                                called customer care a multiple times but no help.
                                I was using Jio before this & I must say the customer service & product are much better.
                                Sir i have recharge my mobile number [protected] an amount of rs226 but till now balance is credited in my said mobile number as amount is deducted from my account

                                  Poor Network at my home leading to frequent call drops. Despite repeated complaints and follow ups, Airtel has refused to improve service. First complaint was logged on July 13, 2017 and ever since Airtel has been sitting on this issue without resolving it.
