    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.

      Unable to transfer money to bank account update [case:1523652]

        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

                1. There is no network from last one week. Around 70 shopkeepers have complaint regarding this.

                The shopkeepers are facing difficult and incurring loses due to it and many even have shifted to other network providers due to non performance.
                People have already registered mai complaints but no serious action is taken so far. We hope to rectify signals for your band loyal customers and old dedicated users.
                We are dedicated customers from more than 5/10 years pls help.

                  Airtel postpaid - [protected] (Not working)

                  I have been using the sim for 14 years.. Its discovered that sim has been deactivated without information.. As per the call with customer care its a software upgrade has happened at airtel end..

                  I felt that you should have minimum responsibility to let the customer know before deactivating the sim..

                  I have linked this number to bank account and other services.. Its so pathetic..

                  I have visted the airtel store on manyata tech park, nagawara (Pincode 560045) and got the sim has been changed. But the service is not restored.

                  Now who can resolve it...

                      I recharged my airtel prepaid mobile with rs 179 plan on 20th february via paytm. Paytm showed me that my recharge was successful, however the balance added does not reflect on my airtel account. It shows that i have zero call balance and zero data balance. When i reported this to paytm they gave me an operator reference number[protected] and nothing else. I want to recieve the balance or refunded. Please help, because i am not able to contact airtel customer care.

                          I have been using my airtel number 987xxxxxxx since more than 7 years. It has been deactivated and allotted to someone else without any notice. This number is registered with my bank and several other sensitive information is linked to this number. This is sheer negligence on part of the company and such harassment of consumer is not expected from a company of this stature.

                            Hi, i have reached for 50₹ with in half n hour it is nil balance now. Could you please advise me on why you are taking money for different plans which i didn't subscribe. Who gave rights to take money from my balance. Automatically you have activated some rubbish and taking money for that. Do you have any reason for this activity. Without making a single call 50₹ was spended in half n hour. I have reacharged for some urgency purpose and you are taking money for useless stuff.

                              My airtel app shows account balance as na even after recharging the sim. I am able to make calls but not able to use internet which i recharged for 82 days recently. This happened earlier as well but would get resolved by its own within a few hours but this time it has been more than 20 hours. The internet shows 4g! Sign and doesn't connect. My phone number is [protected].

                                This is fayyaz nakhawa using an airtel number - [protected].
                                As i wanted to travel to tehran in mth o dec, was looking for an international roaming pack. Airtel had activated a 2999/- pack but this did not have the desired country. I was assured by the backend team in case of no service area i will not be able to use it there but were ever connectivity is available there should not be a problem. Now after 3 mths i get a bill of 30k and i am being told that there is no service available at all what kind of service is this. Airtel has duped me, completely misguided, false promises made and now due to their blunder why do i suffer this is certainly not at all acceptable. I have been chasing around to get a resolution but no luck at all.

                                All the time different story and false promises, this is leading no where. I am facing business loss, harassed n tortured constantly for payments. Unable to get a resolution, all airtel is interested is that i should pay for their mistake.

                                I strongly oppose this and want an immediate resolution and complete wavier for wrong charges placed.

                                  Airtel cheating with very pre-planned.
                                  I have taken postpaid no. Only first month i received correct bill as per plan. From next month onwards by seeing bill immediately i asked to change postpaid to prepaid. But airtel store person an call center confirmed they have internal issue h2 sim not available so currently it not possible to change the postpaid to prepaid... They charge 2250/- from me without using single call /sms... Even not processed my request to change postpaid to prepaid. Airtel simply threatening pay another 590/- otherwise number will be blocked.. See how airtel cheating the people / society. Is not only cheating its a big crime.

                                  Airtel cheating the postpaid customers, i am one of them. I have taken post paid connection based on airtel representative suggestion which will be benefit to me. Only first month i have received correct bill as per plan. From next month onwards there is no corelate of plan vs bill generation. I was shocked and immediately went to nearby airtel store and requested to change post paid to prepaid, they said due to internal issues h2 sim are not available to please change basic rate plan. They charge 2250/- i have not used single call / sms even after my given request to change post paid to prepaid which not happen due to their internal issues. Again now they asking to pay 590/-. Due their internal issue why customer / me has to pay again 590/- already i paid 2250/- without using single call/sms.
                                  Airtel cheating the people / society with pre-plan. This the live incident.

                                    My no is 97790463 — . My problem is i ported my no last month to airtel post paid, they issued me the sim card and activated it but there were no signals or very very weak signals. After confirming the sim faulty they changed the sim but the problem was same. After being visited personally n having made several complaints on customer care centers the problem has yet not been resolved. Even one of airtel service engineer visited my place n agreed the problems being created from airtel side.
                                    As got checked from the server, by one of the customer support executives, my usage was negligible thats only because of poor / no signals. Pl resolve my problem by earliest.

                                    And after all this the airtel has issued me the bill. Pl tell for what do i pay to airtel if they have not provided me any services.

                                      Worst networking. I'm unable to call due to worst network and sudden call cuts. Very very importantly worst internet access of 4g. I don't know is it really 4g network they are providing or 2g network. Even 2g also work fast compare to this 4g airtel network. Really the worst network i'm seen and i really like to tell the people don't use this worst network. Is it really 4g network!!! The worst network i'm experiencing. I[censored] don't reslove this problem, i will make it viral news in social network and promote people to switch to other best networks available.

                                        I am a airtel customer since 2009. I believed that airtel was the best network in India. Off late I have realized that the network signal has become pathetic. You claim that you provide 4G speed everywhere. Leave 4G I hardly get 2G speeds at my home which is located at Mahalakshmi Layout. Even in global village mysore road where my office is located the signal is very poor. Time to bid adieu to airtel. Hope you provide the services as you claim else you are going to end up losing customers like me who believed that airtel was the best data network provider
