I'm unable to use internet from past 2 days. At times it takes hell lot of time just to open a single page on web.
I wan this problem to be solved at the earliest.
And there's problem even in the network.
If i try to call a airtel user i call disconnects automatically.
I am facing this problem since 15 days. I had even complained on the same but i don't get any response.
Kindly resolve it at the earliest.

    I have visited Airtel Store in Chennai ( Bazullah Road - TNagar) and given request for Mobile Number portability. I have received message for the same that my request will be processed in 7 days. But after 7 days i have replaced the new sim given in Chennai but still the connection is not active. Now i am not able to use Old Bangalore sim and New Chennai Sim, both are not working.

      Very slow Internet speed is disallowing to use various services through Internet. I am a job seeker and everyday I need to update my resume in various job portals. I need to check and send number of emails also. Many other dependencies are also there. I have been continously subscribing airtel data services. Earlier in my present place I was able to get considerable Internet speed. But now a days it has been slowed. It may happen. But accordingly the necessary facilities should have to be be upgraded to the current infrastructures. I checked in open network where I found very less no of towers at my current place. Specifically we have a scarcity of towers at this reason as I can see in the map visual. Even the surrounding towers are of 2G facilities which are required to be upgraded. The thing is that I have been paying the price airtel prescribes. With a payment for such price I am rightful to claim the corresponding services for the price I have paid. I am surprised about how airtel can do this type of negligence. It is a kind of injustice.
      Another matter is under the same circumstance other networks, particularly Jio is providing good services. Me and my friend are staying at the same room. He is having Jio and enjoying every moments. Where as I am regretting to have airtel now. It would have been better to have a Jio rather than an Airtel. I am awaiting for your prompt action. All the airtel customers have the same issue here in this locality. So it would be good enough to upgrade or establish new towers in this locality. Otherwise customers would see for the alternative network.
      Recently I had gone to my native and its a rural area. Still I could use Internet through airtel. But this is bangalore. Naturally here it should be more actionable. It is clear evident that airtel needs to establish or upgrade its towers to 4G in this locality. This is the solution.

      I live in Kirandul District - Dantewada State - Chhattisgarh Pin code - 494556. I m very unhappy with the service provided by Airtel in Kirandul. The internet speed is hardly reaching 20 KBPS. You can't even check your email with such a slow speed. We pay too high charges for the service we get in this area. The unlimited plans we choose and pay for it is useless because we can't use the data. In the age of 4G we can't even get 3G facility from Airtel and in the advertisement they Say that they provide best speed. Very unhappy with the services of Airtel. The worst network.
      I live in kirandul dist- Dantewada 494556
      The Airtel network in this area is so worst that the speed don't even reach 10 kB/s. The unlimited packs which we're paying too high charges is of no use.whenever we used to call Customer care they used to say it's the phone issue or may be due to slot... This is because of your weak network provided in this area. The service provided by Airtel is really worst.
      Hope you'll look on this matter and hope a positive response...
      Airtel net is unavailable for almost 20 hours in a day and it will be available only between 1 am to 5 am . I am staying in Chikkabanavara, Bangalore. From past 3 months I have given almost 10 to 15 complaints regarding this but day by day it's turning from bad to worst .. Dint expect this from Airtel ..
      Living in pratap nagar, Jaipur. Here the 4G speed of airtel is quite poor. I always get 2 to 3 bars of connectivity out of 5 and the average net speed is about 10kbps!
      Internet Download speed is very slow in Puttaparthi. Hardly reaching 20 KBps
      I am from village BISHUNPURWA, district WEST CHAMPARAN, Bihar, pincode 845455, I have been facing slow network problem with Airtel 3G in my area since 12 july 2019, speed is too slow to search a single web, i have made complaints to Airtel customer care but i didn't get any improvement in speed of internet. I paid for 399 unlimited plan but I'm unable to use my internet.
      Please improve your network in my area .

          1) i recharged on 31st january 2017 towards one year infinity pack for rs5500/-. As per airtel employee it ended on 25th jan 2018, another employee says it will end on 26th january, whereas online portal says balance of rs82/- on 24th jan 2018.
          2) however, i got it recharged on 24th jan 2018 for rs5551/- on 24th jan2018 on advice of airtel employee. When i got the confirmation of recharge it says rs5500/- as recharge fees and not rs5551/-. Secondly, validity again has been reduced to 19th january 2019.
          Question: on one hand airtel is giving discount and on other hand it is reducing number of days? Why?
          Second why discount rate is varying?

                Dear sir/madam,

                This is to bring your kind attention that, i used to recharge airtel number +91 [protected] by using airtel application.

                I recharged ₹ 248 on 23rd january 2018 by using quick recharges option. It was showing 1.4 gb/day + unlimited calls (82 days) for ₹ 248. I recharged this. But after recharging i got just 3 gb data for 28 days.

                I guess it might be technical problem.

                I called customer care on 24th january, they suggested to visit nearest airtel customer service. But i cant visit customer service office due to i stay outside india. My mother is using +91 [protected] this number.

                I appreciate if you rectify it and add same offer or could arrange for the refund of the same.

                I would be very grateful to you if you could do the needful at the earliest. I would be obliged if you look into the matter personally and solve this at the earliest.

                My bank account details:

                Account number:[protected]

                Name : irshad.

                2) payment successful notification message of airtel

                3) text message screenshot

                  Hello,

                  This is the 3rd time that my unlimited plans have been terminated early. The rs.349 plans were terminated 6 days in advance twice and the rs93 unlimited voice plan, recharged a2-3 days ago has been terminated aa days before the 14 day validity.

                  It is good that companies like airtel are being sidelined for a change by companies such as reliance; airtel has been taking its customers for a ride; even my 84 year old mother has not been spared whose unlimited plan was terminated 6-7 days earlier as well.

                  Is trai going to do something or they are also "fixed".

                            My number has been allocated to someone else without prior knowledge to me. Some of my bank accounts, my insurance info is connected to that number and now it’s all in the air, in the hands of someone i don’t know.
                            Why have i not been informed about this in not even a single email. Airtel, what was so tough in reaching to your customer? I have been airtel’s customer since more 10 years and this is what it melts down to.

                                They updated my plan for mobile no. ([protected]) on 9/1/18 for which i never requested and from that very day my internet stopped working. After repeated calls (Approx. 25-30) my problem did not get resolved, still the internet is not working. There is huge loss to my work as well as this is a mental harrasment as every time i am being a new timeline.in past 16 days i received only one call on 23/01/18 where i was assured that the internet will start working within 24 hrs. But it did not work.
                                Despite of defeceincy in service i am being charged the full tarrif.
                                This is a kind of mental harrasment i m facing and huge loss to my business.

                                      Too much worst services provided by airtel.

                                      Jio is time pe better hai but airtel ni kehne ko airtel best network but mai kafi time se suffer kar rha hu even complaint bhi kia but no positive response by airtel customer care they not care about their customer.

                                      I am going to port my no.in other service provider but going forward airtel kabhi use ni karunga.

                                      F... K airtel..!!!

                                        I was using airtel postpaid and they were providing 10 gb extra for every extra month but in the end they charged us for using those data which they provided for free
                                        Moreover they charged me ₹470 for transfering from postpaid to preepaid they said extra amount will be refunded in your prepaid no. But nothing happen.
                                        When i complain regarding this they said they will waffer me remaining amount in 7 days now it is 1 month and they are still making fake commitment that they will return the amount.
                                        I am using airtel for last 8 years never had such a bad experience.
                                        But i cann't take this anymore.
