At my resident there are no network for 2g also. I register my complaint more than three times to open network but very that was very bad experience for me they didn't revert any feedback. My complaint no. Is "81447596"

And also very bad experience with airtel gallery at ambarnath (E) shiv mandir road. Dist. Thane. Wanted to do one of my number post-paid to prepaid, i completed all necessary process, i cleared all dues for that and purchase a new sim worth rs. 25/- in cash, after that they told me to do first recharge worth rs. 269/- or 279/- something in cash, i don't remember exact amount right now just because i completed this process on last week of january 2018 & now it's 24th feb. 2018. And whenever i visited to airtel gallery for this issue, they just answer me we will confirm you within half n hours or 2 hours ect. But till date they do nothing. I am also told them that i am not going to pay further post-paid bills.

Such a very very very very very very... Bad experience & very bad service at airtel gallery in ambarnath (E)

    My airtel number [protected] is not working at all.. Dont know wether it has been deactivated or what? Ironically the said number was used for ipad essentially for data download... Since in kashmir there is still a hip-hop between 2g-3g-4g... There is lot of confusion... Finally started using the sim on my mobile for calls... Over almost one month its not working... Nor is there any message from service provider informing any issues..

    May airtel plz let me know problem & the remedies...

          I'm arul, an airtel prepaid customer since more than 12 years. I recently upgraded my old 2g mobile to a new moto e4 4g handsett gifted to me by a friend who purchased it from u. S. A. Initially my 2g sim was not recognized & i was getting the error "sim card is not from verizon wireless". Though i had few troubles in recognition of my 2g sim i successfully overcame by altering the settings myself. I was able to make calls & receive incoming calls.

          In the meantime as per the advice of a specialist from airtel customer care i got a 4g sim from an airtel showroom nearby. I sent an sms indicating the new sim no.in the format recommended to 121. I also subsequently confirmed the request by sending '1' as the sms to '121'. This happened on feb 23rd night around 11 pm. Next day morning around 6:30 pm as they told me my previous/existing sim got disconnected. I entered the new 4g sim at 6:40 am. As per their promise, in 4 hrs the new sim (With same mobile no.) should have been activated within 10:40 am. It's 12:40 pm now but still not yet activated. Sent my concern via e-mail care. Still no reply... Hence i was forced to resort to raising the issue in this forum. Hope its resolved asap with a reason & apology for the delay.

                  I don't why they activated a service called gamepind, and they are also auto renewing it.
                  Today i see that they give me a message on 22 december from that time this is happening, i also see other messages informing same and auto renewing the service.
                  It's basically impossible for us to check our inbox all the time.
                  I surely know that they are doing this intensel.
                  I want proper handling in this matter.

                        Hi,
                        I have raised a request around 2 weeks back to convert my postpaid plan to prepaid plan but till now the conversion process is still in progress. Since 3 to 4 days when i am trying to call i have been getting a message saying "your document verification is in progress. It will be activated in 30 mins". Its becoming hard for me as i have to attend many office calls. My airtel retailer is not at all bothered and when i approach them they are saying they dont know the status, and when i call airtel customer care they are raising complaint numbers which are of no use. I request airtel to resolve my situation as soon as possible.

                            Hi airtel,

                            I have been using airtel - [protected] from last 7or 8years and from last 1year i am facing network issues and voice breaks during calls. This began even worse after switching to 4g. I'm using both airtel network sims ([protected]) from last 4years. This is the worst situation i have been facing with your poor network. With you high availability network you have large scale of customers, but right now after jio your services went poor, your network went poor, your data & calls are worst.

                            I have raised this issues previously, but there is no response and no corrective action taken. But still you're charging higher than other networks.

                            If this continues you may face large scale of downfall of customers in near future.

                            For your information i have been staying in locations nanakramguda, gachibowli (Hyderabad) to resolve this issue.

                            Thanks,

                            Sankar.

                            I am in Pune on Airtel 3G I still do not get strong signal of Airtel. I use my phone only on 2G. That's the only outdated technology that works in India.

                            With 3G voice call drops and internet also drops intermittently.
                            Airtel always has had these problems for a long time. They just don't admit it.

                              I am currently using an airtel postpaid connection. But i find it slightly expensive and hence wanted to shift to airtel prepaid. So i went to airtel office in electronic city, bengaluru. So the first time, the staff sends me away saying that we are out of sim cards... Outage of daily cap has happened. Now i don't know how far true that was.
                              Anyway, so i went there again and they say"you should come before 6pm... Can't help you now." what sort of a behavior is this? Will somebody tell me a more convenient way to shift to prepaid??

                              Ps : the exact address of that office:
                              16, neeladri rd, karuna nagar, electronics city phase 1, electronic city, bengaluru, karnataka 560100.

                              Please take some action against them. This is not the way to trear your customers. I won't think twice before shifting to vodafone if they give me better service

                                  This month i took 349 pack, 2.5gb internet per day. But the internet speed is very slow, even whatsapp and facebook also not loading. When i tried to reach to customer care, they not given any proper reason or compensation for my loss of money and time. Airtel just advertising more but their service is pathetic. It called 4g but the speed is am getting is below 0.5mbps. I recently shifted from vodafone to airtel and i regret my decision. Airtel please concentrate on customer service than advertisement 😡😡

                                    Airtel is doing fraud with customer, below is my case.
                                    [case:1523652]:unable to transfer money to bank account

                                    I have loaded rs 5000 into my airtel money wallet and when i tried to transfer money to my own bank account it is showing message "debit freeze".
                                    I am unable to transfer my own money.

                                    They are saying please submit documents for kyc and after that you will be able to transfer money. I have submitted all the documents, its been a month but nothing happens even after multiple followup. They are doing nothing. Only keeping my money and eating up interest on it.

                                    You can imagine that they are doing same with multiple customers and how much crores of money they are getting only by eating interest rate on customer money. Shame totally shame on this act.

                                      Everything worked fine till last month. Suddenly both sims stopped working (The other sim is idea). When only airtel sim is inserted it shows emergency calls only as if it has no signal, in settings it shows no sim card. And when any other sim inserted in second sim slot even it wont work. The same airtel sim works fine in honor phone.
                                      I have tried this in my moto g and other moto e2. Airtel is not working in both moto mobiles.
                                      Why only combination of moto and airtel is not working?

                                        I recently upgraded my set top box to internet tv.

                                        I had came across the lenskart offer under exciting offers on airtel.in

                                        The screenshot of the terms & conditions have been attached.

                                        I received a message stating "free coupons worth rs. 500 each."

                                        I received 2 coupon codes, the last date mentioned to redeem is 28.02.2018

                                        The issue is as follows:

                                        1. I have received two coupon codes which are worth 250 each when applied. There is no mention of this particular condition anywhere.

                                        2. The last date mentioned to redeem in terms & condition is 30th april 2018 but the date mentioned in message is 28 february 2018.

                                        3. There is a minimum cart amount condition for the coupon to be redeemed. There is no mention of this particular condition anywhere.

                                        This is a misleading offer that has influenced me up to an extent to upgrade my set top box.

                                        Please provide a prompt reply to the issue and kindly put in some corrective measures.

                                        Thanks
