    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.

              Sir/madam

              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.

                        I did a recharge for an orissa circle airtel number in airtel app, it was shown as 150 rs full talktime. However, the talktime received was 127 rs only as seen in the sms and balance (Attached). Please check and add the pending balance. Also let me know why did this happen. Is airtel misleading its customers?

                          Incoming calls & messages on my number [protected] is not working since the day i have ported it from vodafone (26th jan'18). Done everything right from raising complain on customer care, visited airtel stores, changed my sim & phone but still probem is not fixed.

                          Can you help me in activating my number in correct circle. I came to know that my sim has been activated on some other circle and not on home circle of haryana. As far as i think that it is a crime for not maintaining a customers number on correct circle in your hlr.

                          Reference customer care complain number is 83008910.

                            Have been staying overseas since january'17 and a customer of airtel since then. The inter national roaming service was active (Only for incoming sms and no voice calls or data plans). After an alert for abnormal amount, had to de activate the international roaming from november15th, while in uk. Had to re activate the services from dec.15th due to travel to usa.in the next four days got a message that charges for data utility is rs.2867/- and it reached rs.5800/- in the nest two days, when landed in usa. I always use wifi and maintain separate mobile numbers both in uk & usa. Charges for data services used in usa, even before reaching usa. Is levied. Some foul play or error. No appropriate response to my various mails (Presently am in usa). Highly atrocious. Am a senior citizen and have been travelling overseas for over a decade and aware o[censored]sing mobile services, while abroad. K. Mahalingam

                              Recently deposited an amount of rs 2000 in my airtel wallet. Now when i try to do any transactions from it a notice appears and says "debit for this account is not allowed".
                              Cc from airtel what does it mean. Quite frankly i care less about what it means. I want you people to kindly solve my problem because i got other things to do too

Whenever i stop any service, another services automatically gets activated. I have lost rs. 200 with this unknown reasne on deduction. I feel like cheated. Please stop all this. I was so disappointed with airtel service by deducted my money. This is not fair i being cheated by airtel company. If the company did not stop as soon as possible. I am going to change to any other company.

                                  According to my data plan of 399 i am enjoying 1gb/day internet data service. But internet speed is very slow. Many a time it is 0.000k/s. As a customer i got offended because i tried complaining to airtel care executive. But he could not address the problem. They just promise bt do nothing. I request you that i be provided with optimum internet speed. Else i should complain against aitel in consumer forum.

                                  Thank you.
                                  Regards

                                    I am using 4g sim with 4g smartphone. My home located in ambattur, chennai city. I always getting 4g internet speed below 30kbps in night time. Very worst network. But tv add shows airtel is indias no 1 fastest network provider. Veryvery cheating. Airtel upgrade your network signal strength or something technical upgrade. Otherwise dont show your chalange add. I am very disappointed.

                                      This is inform you that I visited 3 times in your store at BOPAL. But Your customer service person not discontinue my numbers.
                                      I am using that numbers only one month and after clear my all outstanding.I want to close it but your agent told that it is not close before 3 Months.
                                      I know that there is no rules for 3 months if you are not close my connection immediately so go for consumer forum and your company get the answer at that time.
