          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

                    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.

                      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.

                              No polite in the customer service people in the airtel network in vanasthalipuram branch hyd, very bad communication
                              No healthy behaviour with the customers
                              The question are answered in a irritation mode (By two people) not all the employees
                              Every time these two people are seen in bad behaviour
                              If this continues, i will switch to other network and also tell my locality people also to do the same
                              Then you may lose many loyal customers

                              Please do the needful and train them properly on how to communicate

                                Guys, don’t you think this is too much of harassment??
                                I can’t recharge so I cant talk to your customer care! Don’t you have courtesy enough to call me at least once spending Re. 1 ??? I’m ready to pay you back !! The worst service I’ve ever received is from Airtel! You ask me every detail and then ask another detail, when it is done, you ask the same details again and the loop goes on! I’m ready to give you every detail and the co-operation needed but still you don’t resolve? Tell me what next?

                                I'm not able to recharge my number: [protected].

                                I tried recharging from Airtel store near Brookfield mall.

                                Even they got an error.

                                Kindly check and resolve.

                                Earlier Neha Bhele and Dhruvit Patel asked for few details and then never came back to me.

                                This is not an appropriate behavior expected from Airtel.

                                If I don't get any response I need to go for further actions.

                                Expecting your coordination.

                                For information, the Sim was from Tamil Nadu and now Ported to Karnataka.

                                9. Mobile Operator of the number being recharged:-Airtel prepaid. Earlier was postpaid, now prepaid.

                                      After calling customer care 5times they are not supporting and not taking complaint. They only assure that it will be solved as soon as spossible work is under process. Since 3months when i took airtel i am facing such problems. Call drops while talking data is not stable goes to 2g maximum times. Only 1 tower when it shoes 3g.
