airtel 4g hotspot not switching on

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560087

I have bought a airtel 4g hotspot which is not working now. I have visited the sirtel store and they did not accept any complaint and without checking the device they advice me to check in any hardware store if the battery is having some issue. Even they did not help me on availability of battery for the device. Have spend 3000 on the device and now am not able to use and dont know to whom i should complaint....

Address: Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, 600028

My airtel number: [protected]
Name: rajamalakar
Register location: chengalpattu, tamilnadu

I'm in hungary for past 8 months because of my official work. I will come to india only after 3 months.

Two weeks back, i got a message from airtel stating that i need to recharge my above mentioned number to avoid deactivation, since airtel people found no usage on my number for past 90days. I was unable to recharge my number in online at that time.

Again i tried on 9th jan'18 it showing invalid number. Airtel people had deleted it without any intimation. All my official and personal transactions can be done only thru that number.

When i approach airtel nodel team, they confirmed me that number can be activated within 15 days in any of my family member's name in prepaid. But when my brother approach airtel head office in santhome, they are saying that number can be activated only in postpaid in my name. For that too i need to appear in person. They were dragging us from chengalpattu to chennai for more than one week

Worst part is, even i couldn't book my flight ticket without that number since all my bank transactions can be done only thru that number.

I'm writing this mail with last drop of my hope. Please help me on this

Thanks in advance!!

Regards,
Rajamalakar

Airtel NEXGTV was activated without my authorization or request and Rs.125 was deducted from my main balance. I want my deducted amount to be refunded. This is pure loot.

    Hello airtel team

    I have requested for mnp on my vodafone no to airtel on 9th of jan18 and it is 18th today. (9days), now my vodafone network is gone with the porting done from there side. The new airtel sim is not yet activated and this is very frustrating as i have called customer care several times and visited the airtel store with no positive response. Getting so much loss in my business due to this if my problem will not resolve i’ll raise complaint in trai.

    Please resolve asap

      I am meda bharath reddy and my number is [protected] we have a 5 connections at my home @ nellore. My address is 6/5, near kothakaluva centre, navalakh gardens, nellore-524002. We are facing call drops and network issue. Earlier we used to have 4g signals and now it shows only edge. This is from past 7 months. I have given complaint to customer care and done numerous calls. Every time they say there is a tower upgrade and nothing is happening. Infact no one called us regards to issue. Customer care was promising that the issue will be fixed in shorter time and things are getting worsen day by day.in order to speak calls we are going out of house and attending. Please understand that women are there and they cannot go to road and speak the calls. This is shameful to airtel. Infact i have bought jio dongle to have internet at home since airtel 3g/4g is not working. Seems airtel is taking it lighter side and willing to loose customers. I am educating in my area that airtel doesnt resolves the issues and most of them are ready to go for protability including me.

      Someone from Airtel has called me when I have applied from Port. They want to retain me and says that within 4 days I would be getting a call from technical team. However, he asked me to report issue through Open network. I have done open network and reported issue by dailing 12118. Here the lady says they dont have approval from government to upgrade the tower and it is in hold status. They cant do any thing at this time. They are asking me to go for portability and there is no other option.

      I have got a call from Airtel and asked for another 1 week time. They have provided network engineer number [protected]. As usual the number is switched off and not reachable. Things are getting worsen day by day with Airtel. They fool the customers. Again they dont give any resolution and after 1 week it is up to me to go for portability.

      Airtel asked me to check the progress of network issue at www.airtel.in/opennetwork But I could see there is no progess. Giving false assuarances. After long conversation they have provided a number to speak [protected]. The escalation team says they need approval from Government and local bodies to upgrade the tower. Since from 1 year they couldnt get approval itseems. They dont know when they will get approval also. Again they are trying to retain the customer to be with their worst service. Pathetic. My service request number: 80359724

      No update from Airtel. Day by Day becomes worse. Now the issue is in our office too. They have fixed a booster and no use at all.

        My name jayaprakash reddy. My phone number is [protected]. On january 1, 2018 i paid rs 1563 due for the number and have a receipt for it. I discovered late that the amount was wrongly credited to [protected] by the airtel billing clerk. I brought this to the notice of the airtel staff in their begumpet headquarters. They promised to rectify it but did not. Now the outgoing calls from the above number are barred.
        Airtel has rotten service. The phone simply does not work in my office on rd no 5 due to poor signal for the past several years. I made hundreds of complaints but no action till so far. It now strikes me that i need to take a legal recourse to redress my problems.

          I have lodged complaint regarding discrepancy in my bill of december. Not getting any satisfactory response. I am chasing customer care since last 1 month still no response. Complaint is regarding refund of wrong charges. Very disappointed with customer care response. One complaint was going on and i have notified them to resolve before my next bill cycle so that i shouldn't be charged for late fees. Still they have changed for that as well. So unprofessional.

          Complaint no[protected] & 82645913.
          Please resolve it on priority.

            I am residing at block 29 of new moti nagar, new delhi-110015 and for the last three days i am not getting netwrok at my residence. Till now i have spoken many times with the customer care but no respite yet. As a last resort i am filing this complaint thereafter i will be having no option other than port the services as mobile, dth, broad band to some other service provider.
            Pls note that my association with airtel is for the last more than 15 years.

              I have purchased postpaid 4g wifi service 499 plan on oct 2017 ([protected]). But from day 1 it is not working. I have made several complain and visited pune kalyaninagar airtel service center. They told if you can not able to use it wont charge you sir and our people solve issue on priority. And one more thing i have purchased that airtel wifi device with 2500/-.
              On nov 28 i received message to pay 494 and that time i told customer care to disconnect my number as it is not useful. Down the time dec 2017 gone and it was not fixed. Then jan gone and now asking to pay 1200, though i have not used any thing. Now i am sure rs.2500/- for that device is gone and airtel going to payback me.

              Now a days airtel people calling me almost calling every 2 days and asking to pay. I have explained all thing, but they are not trying to understand and asking same again and again. And they are taking in rude manner always. So now i am planning to go to consumer court for this as i dont have much option.

              I am using idea broadband at my home and service is pretty good. So in future i will never take airtel service. And i am making sure i will do necessary feedback almost every day on every site for airtel.

                My 4g sim was damaged so i swapped it with another 4g sim (Duplicate sim) but since then my 4g isn’t working whenever i turn on my mobile data it keeps on showing 3g. I called customer care more than 10 times but they haven’t resolved it yet it has already been one n a half week. They keep on saying that it will be resolved in 24 hours. I even changed my location as well since they told me that the problem is in my location, but the problem still persisted. I have recharged my phone with 448 4g pack n i think it is getting wasted. Please look into the issue. My phone number is [removed].

                  I have ported idea number [protected] from idea to airtel and is my primary number which is registered on naukri.com, monster india and with my bank. Network is so worst at time there is no network connection.in 24 hours mostly network connection is for 2-3 hours that too i have to select manually. Thane missed so many important calls from employer and i cannot get my otp from bank on this number for doing online transaction. It's very inconvenience for me. I need to get reimbursed if possible if not kindly take strict action against airtel as this companies spend lakhs of rupees in advertising but on customer like me as since last 2 months it has been very inconvenient for me. Kindly get this issue resolve as soon as possible.

                      Unable to call a particular number from my airtel sim.
                      Error is coming as "you are dialing a invalid number". I also tried calling with prefix "0", even then same error is coming. Owner of that number is able to connect to my number.
                      The same number is reachable when i am trying to call from some other number.
                      I called costumer care but they are not providing me a apt solution. They say that it is problem of your handset or may be due to temporary congestion. I have been trying to calling that number from weeks but it is giving the same error.

                                I want to port out my mobile number from airtel. But they are not generating the unique port id after sending port request.
                                The customer care executive given so many suggestions. But there is no use.
                                Even i got a replacement sim also. And tried in basic mobile also. There is no use. I rised a complaint against this. There is no progress from company side.

                                  For the past two weeks I was constantly receiving calls from AIRTEL representatives regarding a porting request on my phone no [protected] . My service provider was VODAFONE . After constantly confusing to the aforementioned airtel calls, I received a call from a person intimating as a Vodafone employee and he offered to clear the mix up and cancel any request made to AIRTEL. He said that a new request need to be generated and I need to provide him with the porting request number. The call came from [protected]. This incident happened on Jan 6 2018 . On the 11th Jan I found that my number had been ported out to AIRTEL under the name of some one called Paramjeet Rati.
                                  Please take strong action regarding this matter as the number may further be used in various cyber crime.
