    With reference to the compain no. Cbdmo[protected]. I have been using airtel for almost 15 years but no. Of time i have faced worst customer service and again when i was having 1 gb of data in my account the company has deducted the charge from the main balance and i can't let the company to cheat me again and again.
    So if company is not able to refund the money than it would be better to port to some other fair company than airtel.

          Hi, iam dharmeswar chaudang. Iam from assam. Iam a very old custermer of airtel. Our whole family is in airtel. My complaint is that there is no 4g and 3g coverage. What are you doing? I have to port our sim to vodafone and i also bought a jio sim. Because they had given 4g coverage fully in our area. But you did not get any actions after my long complaints. If you do not give me network what can i do? So i request you to please provide our area a good network. My address is no 2 nachani village, p. O.- nachani, district - dibrugarh (Assam). Pin - 786613

            When I interacted with Airtel customer care executive, he has explained 6 month plan for voice and data. But, Airtel is cheating me by charging monthly for what purpose God knows. Executive told once in six months, so paid once, now they are generate bill every month. I don't understand why they have 6 months plan and again monthly bill. I have call recordings. I don't expect Airtel to stoop down to this level and swindling money from customers in a broad daylight.

                    Airtel has never been known to have great customer service, but their new postpaid plans seemed attractive so i made the switch in sept-2017.

                    Since then, strange things have been happening to my phone.

                    On or around 27th of every month, since oct, my mobile internet speed dips down to 100kbps.
                    It displays "4g" in my phone, but i get speeds of 0.01mbps.
                    I've had this issue repeat every month after this.
                    Oct-27th, nov-27th, dec-27th, again now jan-27th-2018.
                    I have complaint id's matching the dates i've mentioned.

                    Every time i raise a complaint, airtel people say "there is an offer i. D. Mismatch" on my number.

                    How can the mismatch happen every month yaar?

                    If you don't wanna give us the data, just don't give it. Playing around like this is such a bad move. Extremely disappointed with airtel mobile.

                          Pathetic service. From 21th Jan to 30th Dec the service down and no action being taken.
                          - 21 Jan 2018: Scrambled Signal . Complaint no: 70143265
                          Somebody came to check. Went back say it is a cam card issue.
                          Till 24th Jan they didn't turn back and from 21 jan to 24 jan they kept rescheduling for 1 day. Finally concluded that CAM card stock not available.

                          - 28 Jan 2018: Escalation Complaint no: 70391213
                          They came after so many follow-ups and installed a new Cam card. Then classic sentence "Service will be active in 20 mins". That 20 minutes never came. I called again and spoke to them for almost 1 hour . They raised a new as below

                          - 29 Jan 2018 : he asked me to do many things in my TV for 1 hour. after he could not resolve, he rasied ticket no: 70428924.

                          - I got a message to contact service engineer. When I called me, he said activiation is not in his control and asked me contact another number.

                          "LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE EXPECTING CUSTOMERS TO KEEP CALLING THEM AND MANAGE TO FIND A PERSON TO RESOLVE AND ALSO TO FIX THEMSELVES"

                          - i called customer care again on 30 Jan 2018, and they raised ticket 70449016 with title "Repeat complaint" and they have assured to resolve by 5:30 today (30 jan 2018).

                          I contacted the nodal office by email explaining the problem and tweeted to airtel_presence. They only regret for inconvenience but they never resolve the problem.

                          I have wasted so much time calling them and go through some much of mental stress. 3 times transferred to higher officials and nothing is being done to sort out the issue.

                            Submitted postpaid to prepaid on 24th of january in brigade metropolis airtel outlet in whitefield, bangalore.

                            The postpaid number immediately stopped working. The prepaid sim is not activated even after a week.

                            I was told by the representative that it will be activated within 4 hours on 24th of january. But even after week and several follow up visits to the airtel outlet, sim is not being activated. Every time i go to the outlet they say it will happen in 4 hours.

                            I am not able to get my important messages and calls from past one week. False commitment made by represntatives several times. It is a big mental harrasment to me.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                            I am unable to done any transaction or use my money from airtel payment bank and now one to help in that.Is Airtel doing such a fraud to their customer?Please resolve my issue as soon as possible.

                                I have paid inr 1199 to airtel to activate international roaming (For malayasia) in my number [protected] on[protected] after speaking to airtel store @ goalpark, kolkata. They failed to recharge as there was link failure.
                                They suggested me to recharge online and i a have done that on[protected] through my citi bank credit card, which was successful. To my surprise there was no network in my phone during my visit at malaysia from[protected] to[protected]. I got into trouble without a phone and was disconnected from all my contacts in india. I incurred loss in business.
                                Airtel customer care is refusing to refund the money i had paid for the service - which airtel failed to provide.

                                    I am an airtel prepaid customer with mobile number [protected], and very unsatisfied due to recent plan activity. I have taken a plan of rs. 169 on 16th of january. The details of the plan are given in the attached photograph. As it is mentioning the validity for 28 days but its end on the 14 days. For this haphazard provide the half of amount as plan worked only for half the period.

                                    Look into the matter and revert at the earliest.

                                    Thank you in advance.
