This refers to the subject matter, please note that for the airtel number [protected], i have recharged from airtel application through airtel bank for rs.399/- and it was not reflected to this number and i could not able to call also and messaging low account balance. There after i have called up on airtel customer numbers several times and got to know that the query will be resolved in 2days and also asked me to recharge for rs.10/- more to get updated. That also done by me but rs.10/- only got immediately updated to this number account. However till date inspite of several complaints rs.399/- was not updated to my [protected] number till date.
So now what to do about, i don't understand.
Please resolve urgently.
Thanking you

      Since around 1 year now we are experiencing heavy network issues with airtel.in our area everyone using airtel is experiencing the same issue.in spite of number of complaints and follow-ups we are not getting any satisfactory reply. Neither there is any resolution to the issue. Phone does not work at all in the area venkatapuram and nearby in jamalapuram. Airtel claims to have best network but sorry to say that its not true and also we are experiencing very bad customer service. We have no idea by when will this get fixed. We all are now thinking on porting out which seems to be a better solution here.

        Not even getting 2g speed on this daily 1gb pack...I had put a 3g pack of 399rs for my airtel SIM..but I'm not even getting a 2g speed..this is first time airtel is cheating like this. The pack says it's for non commercial use. Does this mean that we can't even use it for 2g speed. Hardly one whatsapp message goes from my mobile .

          Hi
          I recently opted for portability from tata docomo to airtel. I’m using iphone 5s, when i went to local airtel distributor head office then sold me a 4g sim saying i would get 3g data on my iphone. It’s been 3days i didn’t see 3g on my phone, it shows on and off “e” and also it shows no service. Though it shows “e” never gets connected to the internet, tried couple of times reaching customer care. They answered change the sim into another phone, then i have changed the same sim into my iphone 6, but the issue was not resolved.

              Worst customer support
              I hold an airtel number, which converted from postpaid to prepaid on 30th jan 2018and thereafter, i am not able to make any recharge, hence no outgoing and no internet.
              Its been 10 days now. I have tried all possible options but of no use.
              The airtel gallery guys are good for nothing, they do not know anything about their daily work.
              I contacted customer care on 121 and 198. After big argument with junior executives, i then spoke to some seniors like ankit pandey and shrikant nepali.
              They all gave me false commitment of 48hrs thrice (48 * 3 = 6 days).
              Then as a last resort, i emailed to nodalofficer. [protected]@in. Airtel.com.
              From there again three different people spoke to me (Ashwini k, macherla akhila, akhil shaganti) and all are still giving me false commitment of another 48hrs.
              I am really very frustrated with this behaviour. I cannot make any outgoing calls nor use internet. It is affecting my business.

              My one question to airtel - does it take 10+ days to resolve one issue? Is your technical team so weak? Do you have any sla for service request?

              Also, i checked on consumer forum websites and many customers who converted post to prepaid got this issue, and still airtel has no answer to this.

              Really worst service by such a old company.

                  I applied for a connection on 2nd dec and paid rs 500. The airtel dealer first said that it'll take rs500 to install connection, then a month later, he said that since it's fiber cable, total rs1000 will be installation charges. So i made the second transaction of rs 500 on 18 jan.

                  I have since sent them my bank statements and transaction ids. But still they were saying that it's invalid.
                  Also, they are asking me to go to my bank ask for charge back. Indian banks don't provide chargeback.

                  Why take money before providing connection?

                    I deposited money in my airtel wallet (Airtel payment bank)
                    Unfortunately i forgot all my credentials (Username, password)

                    But the customer care service members are not responding to my questions.

                    I gave the credentials which i gave while taking my sim and they are saying that the credentials are wrong.

                    I even confirmed it with airtel office members.

                    And in my airtel app also i can see my name.

                    Don't know what is the issue.

                    Please do needful

                    Thank you.

                      Please close my no. The reason for this is that i am not satisfied with the service provided to me from the time i migrated from prepaid to post paid. Even when i tried to convert it back into prepaid. I went to showroom at shopian. They told me to go sgr. Sonwar. The persons at sonwar sent me to rajbagh showroom. Rajbagh showroom asked me to go gogjibag showroom. Thus my week was wasted. Then i tried to close my connection but i was assured to get all the benifits. But after one month same bill same amount. This time i am asked to wait for one more month. Keeping in view all this once again request u to close my connection

                              I have submitted requests for prepaid to postpaid transfer twice and have been charged twice, but till now the transfer is not completed.
                              The sim which i am trying to migrate to postpaid, is not on my name, but the sim is with me for past 6 years. The airtel office said that if i give them my aadhaar card copy, my company id proof they can migrate the sim in my name and then change that to postpaid and charged rs.400 for the process, but its been more than 6 months and nothing has happened till now, neither the sim is on my name and neither the sim has been migrated to postpaid.

                              Please help.

                                  Hi, my airtel app shows me new offer of 199 plan. But i am unable to activate that plan with my main balance. I hve balance of rs217. I called customer service for help but they told me to recharge for rs 199 and cant be activated with mobile balance.in fact they have told me to use it via calling. Why should i spend money in calling when there are lots o[censored]nlimited calling plans with data are available.. How ridiculous this suggetion is.. Why should i spend money from my main account via calling at 30ps/min..
                                  Airtel is not now customer friendly.
                                  I think it's better to change service... I am totally upset..

                                  Airtel has activated Whatsmob service without my consent. I don't know about the service. This type of service is not expected from you. Very bad service

Sir mere village me 2g network ata tha lekin 1 january 2018 se airtel ne data speed 3g karne ki jagah sidha 4g network chalu kar diya h. Jis karan jo log 3g smartfone use kar rhe he un logo ko koi speed nahi mil rhi h. Unke sath dhoka kiya ja rah h. Isliye apse nivedan he ki hamare gram me 2g ke bad 3g fir uske bad 4g network diya jaye. Thanks sir

                                      Mobile no: [protected] in the name of s balaji.
                                      I have submitted my request for changing present post paid connection to prepaid (448 - 82 days plan) and the same was given to airtel showroom on 5th evening by 6 pm and i was told that deactivation will happen in 48 hours and after this to insert the new prepaid sim and after tele-verification the new prepaid sim will get activated. All this will happen by 48 hours was informed but now 5 days have passed and till date no response from airtel. When i daily call airtel customer service i am given daily that the request is updated yesterday and will take 96 hours, this is the same answer daily they are giving and daily they say got updated yesterday and will take 96 hours. If they say daily that updated yesterday i do not know when the actual day will come.
                                      All the customer service executives who attend the call are very harsh and reply if anything take up with management and go to chennai regional office. Is this the way they handle the customer.
                                      I wanted to know what is the status of my plan post paid to prepaid change.
