Hi team,

I tried to maintain my airtel broadband connection in safe custody mode from past 5months. But airtel customer care is not responding. Instead, they are generating bill every month perfectly and taking my salary. I already raised an issue to customer care, which they were unable to process unfortunately. Now all of sudden, my airtel account number is showing as incorrect. Dont know still what miracles are going to happen. My humble request to disconnect airtel broadband connection permanently, so that i won't opt for airtel in my life..

Regards
Airtel customer.

      I came to know about amazon prime offer i am trying to claim it but i couldn't
      Able to claim. I got the information that airtel tv app will facilitates to claim that.
      But there is no option available on my airtel app. I have tried all the options to activate this offer but no use.

      Airtel trying to caught the customer by giving a false offer please don't fool the customers

      My post paid account no: am-[protected]

      Yeah I agree. Even I faced the same issue today. I have taken up new broadband plan yesterday and I also have a post paid number and yet they refused to activate Amazon prime. False promises as they are not able to compete with Jio I guess.
      Hi @kiriti i have solved my problem by mailing to [protected]@airtel.tv .Please follow
      I have been using Airtel Broadband Rs.999 since May 2017 and looks like Amazon Prime offer has been introduced since Jan 2018. Till now I have not got any notification about this. I happen to notice in My Airtel app where it shows Airtel TV free and one year Amazon Prime Subscription. I am trying to download Airtel TV app but getting "This item is not available in your country". I tried reaching customer care and have not got proper response. Many people are not aware of this plan and Airtel is trying to cheat it's customers. They have published this in news and hasn't intimated it's customers properly to avail this offer.
      I recharged my prepaid Sim with Rs.699 plan (3GB/DAY) + 56 days prime membership, But unable to activate it on my Airtel Thanks App. The logo is Blurred(claim button) I called many times to the customer care but they didn't have any resolution.

            I am sending port sms since one month iam getting reply as unable to generated upc code at present due to system issue.

            I called customer care for more than 10 times and they will say we will resolve your issue within 24 hours and after putting down the call no response.

            They have already charged me money for porting with the previous port code to convert to postpaid which is expired in between this process.

            Now iam unable to generate new upc.

            Thought to lodge a complaint and not providing me service.

            Such a pathetic service airtel provides really

            Customer care is useless no technical knowledge for there executives all foolish people

                  I applied for porting request on my current operator which is airtel postpaid.
                  I wanted to port it with vodafone prepaid service. As per the process, i sent port requesting message as 'port ' to 1900. Then, port code is generated.
                  And, further procedure followed for the application of new operator.

                  Address: 530014

                  I am a subscriber of airtel postpaid mobile service. The company had launched an airtel secure service for its customers to insure their handsets against liquid / accidental damage on payment of a regular premium everymonth. I had subscribed to this offer and was paying my premiums regularly. On the 05 of feb 2018, i accidentally dropped my phone in a drain and it was damaged. The phone was an expensive one plus five make costing 38000 rupees. So i approached airtel for covering it under the insurance clause. I was harassed by the customer care executives for last five days asking me to submit various details. Some embarrassing questions were asked as to how did i drop the phone? What was i thinking when the phone was dropped? Etc. My adhar details were taken now all this was neither asked not sought at the time of selling me the insurance. However the moment a claim was raised all sorts of proofs became important. Finally today on the 10th february o have been informed that the claim has been rejected as it does not fall either under accidental or liquid damage. Ian aghast at this justification of theirs because my phone was dropped accidentally and was damaged for to a liquid. I think that airtel is running a scam by charging it's customers for insurance. I think that they need to be investigated and the customers like me should be protected by such

                        I am currently facing connectivity issue with my airtel broadband dongle for post paid and my repeated calls to the airtel customer care number (198) and
                        [protected] yielded no response from the airtel showroom.
                        Because of the above, i am unable to do my regular office activities even after getting the dongle device. Kindly fix it at the earliest and if not, i have no other way except to escalate this to the ministry of telecommunication.

                            I have applied as per airtel marketing person guideline for 40mbps connection. But i got 40mbps download and 9mbps upload.

                            I called customer care they said whatever plan you can buy, but from the plan you will get only 80% download and 20% upload

                            They're nowhere mentioned 80% download and 20% upload only possible with us.

                              Dear sir,

                              I had tried at least 3 times to get my postpaid number converted from postpaid to pre-paid in the past few months. Everyone i had been given false promise that conversion will reflect in your account after to hour ironically it never happened. Today when i visited to ground floor, site no 36/37, chinnappanahalli village, kr puram, hobli,, east tal, maratahalli, bangalore, karnataka 560037 i had been told they don't have form to switch a number to postpaid to pre-paid.

                              When i asked them why they don't have they said they don't have again. I asked them why they don't get the forms their answer same.

                              I have humble request to you take the proper action against these airtel stores and operator.

                              Thanks

                                I am calling from esamia bazar, hyderabad.
                                We are experiencing a lot of call drops and network issues in airtel network in this important - sultan bazar area of hyderabad.
                                We have complained many times, but nothing has been done by airtel yet.

                                If airtel doesn't improve its services over here, many customers will shift from airtel to other new networks.

                                  Yesterday after recharging my airtel prepaid no. With 150 rs i got another message within 5 minutes that 35 rs have been deducted for the namkeen pack, since i was not using airtel since 5-6 mths i never activated that service. Sms provided me one no. To deactivate the service, when i called that no. The service was deactivated but 35 rs were not returned. I want my 35 rs back, i better give this money to a beggar than to these filthy corporates.

                                    On 8 feb 2018 my at night my network gone and never returned till date. Next morning i connected to customer support and they advised me to change the sim from airtel store. Afternoon i get the message to restart my phone but again there is no network. I called up again and the customer care advised me to wait for 4 hours. Now today is 10 feb 2017 and still no network. As usual they ask 24 hours to resolve the issues. As these days everything is on mobile and i'm facing the horrible experience for being airtel customer. My banking stopped for more than 3 days as they asked me to wait for 24 hours. Being an old customer i never ever going to promote or recommend airtel connection to anyone i know.
                                    As im calling them so many times and in return i get more and more time to wait.
                                    After this no more airtel connection in my life.

                                    Thank you airtel for such wonderful experience and the loss of money im facing due to you.

I tried again, again my amount rs.415/- deducted but nit recharged and refunded. I was very disappointed. See attached my account statement that amount deducted from bharat tel. Please help to refund my money immediately.
