Good! Airtel values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Airtel step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

Airtel has the worst network.in my home my phone always shows no service. Most of the time my number is not reachable. I have to use whatsapp calling, its much better than airtel.
Now these days while calling my number it most of the time shows user busy even while i m not using my phone. The problem is not only with my number.in my family we have 7airtel connections, all are facing network issues. We have airtel connectios for more than 10years, i think we have to switch to other network. I have complained to customer care many times, but the issue has not been resolved

I have ported my 2 numbers to airtel since then i m not getting network coverage in vishrantwadi pune. They have pla to upgrade towers here. I have asked them to send technician on feb 14th so far no action taken from them. I'm unable to use internet as it's not working due to network issue. I agree network issues will be there in few areas but my question is why they are not sending technician to home address for connecting booster or repeater. They are saying we need to use their service atleast for 3 mon. Im ready to use lifelong if there is no network issue. My only expectation from them is to arrange technician to connect booster or repeater

Updated by Shahina Syed Engineer visited on 17th Feb. And updated airtel regarding the network coverage issue. They promised to solve the issue by connecting router, repeater or booster. But no response.we took 499 rs plan and no use of this as we are not getting network coverage and not able to access net and facing issue with calls I think we have to bear this harrasment from airtel for 3 months. The main issue is they are not solving issue and asking us to wait till they upgrade towers here. We are disappointed that we ported our numbers to airtel.

Updated by Shahina Syed This company should be rated as best company for its worst services. The only thing they do is just send these type of mails as it involves no cost.

We have been using the above mentioned airtel number for more than 15 years and this number is disconnected because of no usage (First time in 15 years).
After we come to know about it, we have been in touch with airtel through the email, no action has been taken and no options provided to me to get the number back.
I am in a short assignment period working in united states and no provision given to contact airtel except through email and their only response to go and contact airtel store which is not possible for me as i am out of the country now.
While this outstanding complaint is on with them, now it looks to be like this number is given to somebody else and all my personal financial transactions are going to that number which provides further issues as all my information is now shared to the third party.

I have received special offer of about 199 and 399 rupees.. I already have 409 rupees as my balance amount in my mobile. But i cant recharge those offer from my main account.. It is fully cheating.. Now a days no one is use their main account balance for voice call, sms, etc. Only use it from special monthly unlimited call sms packs.. So all my 409 rupees will going to useless.. Thats the technique of airtel to cheat their own customer...

Post sim swap, my new airtel 4g sim was active for few minutes but it soon became inactive and my phone is showing server error. Check your network and try again. All i see in my phone is emergency calls only. It has been 6 days and no help recieved from airtel customer care team. All they say is reboot my phone. They are not even serious about customer's issues. I have tried reaching them on 121/ airtel enterprise mail chains. All they say is wait for 24hrs it will be resolved. I am unable to make or recieve calls. Unable to do any bank transactions. I feel like porting to jio instead of this ineffective airtel.

Airtel has deducted charges so many times. Recently they deducted whatsmob service activate charge which i don't even know. Called up customer care they said user must have click on pop up and immedietly reversed the charges. Airtel is totally fraud company. They don't have ethics. If they don't know about the service how can they reverse the amount within seconds. It happened with me 4-5 times. They have looted us all these years. Now, jio has teaching them lesson.

Dear sir / madam

This to inform you that with reference to customer id [protected], i have recharged with infinity pack for rs.5801 for period of 1 year ie. On 17/02/2018. When i requested details over phone they say that validity will be till oct 2018 which is not correct which should be till next feb 2019. I have also received message saying that long duration pack could not be updated. Please kindly update to long duration pack or i think this will be our last recharge on this service provider as we have also faced many problem in past which not at all promising and services from airtel have been worst for us. We have been customer of airtel digital tv for past 7 years please take action or you may be loosing most of your customers. Please kindly update details and also provide details of validity. Please do it asap and revert back.

Thanking you

Shubham naik

Attracted to much hyped slogan ' india's fastest 4g network' i bought a 4g airtel sim and recharged it with frc 88+data 349 (2.5 gb per day for 28 days) to use high speed internet on 11.02.2018. Since that night i am realizing that i am the stupidest personfor wasting my 437 rupees for the largest 'chor' in indian telecommunication market.
My data transfer rate never cross more than 50kbps!! Since 11th feb, airtel has looted my at least 14gb data!! I had contacted with their customer care unit. And they only have one solution, that is ' we'll rectify this as soon as possible' so it may be 10 days, 20 days, 30 days or even a year!! And as per my knowledge, they don't have any data refund policy.
So, airtel is the largest telecommunication scammer in this country. I am leaving airtel simcard on 11th march 2018!! I'll never buy their 2nd sim in future.!!

Recently i have shifted my house. I had requested airtel to shift my connection no. [protected] to my new house on horamavu main road, bangalore 560043. The area distributor shifted my connection which worked for three days with video problem and problem of intermittent signal loss. From forth day it stopped completely. On complaining the technician was sent on third day when i found all the wires hanging loose from amplifier. Your area distributor has done shoddy work and not worked on back bone systems. The wires and connections should be in lock and wires should be joined using connectors but it's not so. Our building management staff had instructed for proper installation but your area office was not bothered. I have complained through mail to customer care who is promising me that by that day evening connection would be restored and credit for days for which i have been deprived of the service be given but that is not happening. Please let me know what is to be done. Also please let me know if i should file a police complaint for fraud and harassment to a senior citizen. Please revert immediately.

Airtel, i don't know what type of service you are providing, i'm staying in the same house. But from last weeks i'm not able to place any call and my phone is also not reachable when someone is trying to call. And coming into the mobile data, it is the worst. Not getting 4g. Can you please tell me why i'm paying 500/month for this type of service. I'm planning to port my connection to vodafone. Because day by day your network is getting worst.

I have been living in the same house and using the same phone and sim for the last 2 years. Since 16th feb, the network strength has become so low that it blanks out as soon as i move into the house from the balcony.

What if somebody tries to reach me in case of emergency? Or even worse, what if something happens to me and need to call someone for help?

Seems vodafone is adding towers and airtel is reducing them.

My incoming call services stopped working abruptly on 14 feb. When i try calling airtel regarding this issue, they just keep giving me new resolution times, 24 hours, 48 hours, 4 hours. I am unnecessary suffering for airtel's mistakes & facing terrible business loss.

Before incoming calls, my data pack stopped working for couple of days even though my device always used to show 4g signals.

I am terribly frustrated by airtel services now & seriously thinking about porting out myself & 25 other family members that use airtel on daily basis.

I added around 600 in my airtel wallet like normal wallet, i am not able to use that amount. I am not able to recharge even. As per their suggession i converted my wallet account into payment bank also.
After registering for bank account i am struggling for my money which is locked in this worst kind of wallet. Completely unsatisfied with such service. I complained also on airtel but still their worst service for which they are famous for. They don't care about their customer.
