It has been 6 days (22/12/17) since my internet has suddenly stopped working. I have called the customer care at lease 6 times and they have absolutely no idea what to do. They repeatedly tell me the same set of instructions about my sim settings, which obviously have not worked. Then they asked me to get a new sim.
I bought a new sim 3 days ago (25/12/2017) and it is still not activated.
Every time i call [protected] i have to at least wait for 2 minutes and listen to hell lot of irrelevant menus before i am finally connected with to a personnel, who is different every time so i have to repeat the whole thing; only to listen to their empty solutions. My 6gb data has already been wasted and i also have to bear the opportunity cost.
I would like my internet to start working immediately.

    Airtel payment account was opened without my consent, which i wish to close immediately.

    Going to airtel outlet and requesting them to close this bank account created in my cell number did not help much.

    My cell number [protected]

    I wish some one puts a public interest litigation case in supreme court to get the relief for all airtel costomers.

      Dear concern

      It is very surprising to know that airtel is misleading its customers by providing wrong information when it comes to suggest best plan.

      They had suggested me a best plan as inr 299 which was non hd and was covering almost all hindi entertainment, informative, news and movies channels.

      Believing in the company's commitment to provide best to its customers, i continued to recharge for this plan month on month.

      Just of curiosity i googled few airtel plans and figured out i can get all the benefits of above plan and that too in hd in just inr 232.

      Relay hurt by the unethical practice of such a renowned company.
      Just to earn few penney's from a customer they have lost all my trust.

      Will be checking all my accounts associated with airtel.

        Dear sir/madame

        I had done a recharge of my airtel digital tv on 24.05.2017 customer id:-[protected] with the annual subscription of rs.2850/- under value prime kids pack and with rs.4800/- for my other 2 hd connections with rs. 200/- per month subscription for each.

        Now, i came to know that my first connection was recharged with rs.4800/- and my other 2 connections with rs.2850/-. On contacting the customer care, i was informed that rs.4800/- plan was under offer and was recharged first. So, the plan was activated without my acknowledgement and now, airtel digital company refuses to do any support and asks me to recharge for other 2 connections to further continue the service.

        I felt cheated and furthermore, no help or support was done on the behalf of the company. I request you to consider my case and resolve the issue as soon as possible.

        I will be highly obliged to you.

        Thanking you

        Yours sincerely
        Akshar jain

            Sim card is not activated even after 48 hours. Customer care is suggesting to visit the stores again saying they have mistakenly activated some other sim. This is totally unacceptable as the issue is there from the service provider end and asking customer to visit the airtel store again.
            Even mail has been received with complaint number (We have registered your request vide order no.[protected] stating that sim card will be activated.

              I have been using aitel number since last 2 months. My plan is of rs. 399 on which i was told that i will be given unlimited calls and 100 sms's per day and 20 gb of 4g data. I was mostly attracted towards 20gb of 4g data because of which i chose to be in airtel but however while using the service of airtel 4g i am very much shocked and surprise to see that the speed of airtel 4g was not even the speed of 3g. I mean i am not getting enough speed to that i can consume, utilize the 20gb data of internet 4g which they promised. I am not able to watch any movies i am unable to see any videos without waiting time (Buffering) videos, movies are lagging so much that i am unable to use the dedicated data provided by airtel. I have made several complains to airtle regarding the same issues they says that their network is on upgradation. I want to know why shall a consumer should suffer for your technical problems. But however they couldn't resolve the problem nor were able to provide my the with discounts. I mean why shall i pay the complete bill amount if i am unable to use the services.

                  Messages are not getting sent in my mobile, if i call customer care, there is no proper reply from customer care.
                  Though i set smsc number +[protected]in my moto e4plus android mobile, messages are not being sent

                  If i go to local airtel office vikarabad, even there is no proper response and they are asking me to either take new sim and demanding rs 100 for new sim. Or go to hyderabad for solving my problem.

                  It's insane to give such response to a customer.

                  If i wanted to port my number too i'm unable to send sms. They are neither telling the port code or resolving my problem.

                  I have linked this mobile number to back and use this as permanent number so unable to stop using this number.

                  I'm experiencing this problem from around 5months, without proper response from customer care and local airtel stores.

                  I would like to go for raising an complaint in consumers forum as none are resolving my problem.

                    I'm a long customer of airtel, from past 3 months i'm not getting a proper signal at all for using the internet. I thought to switch to another service because of it's poor service but when the pack is about to expire in 3 days again it worked very well so i've renewed the pack with 448/-. Again i'm facing the same issue. Kindly resolve the issue asap, getting frustrated with the worst service from such renowned network.

                      I had a post paid airtel data connection # [protected] which had been permanently discontinued on 18th november, 2017 with the help of saltlake city centre-i airtel store & even i've paid the amount of rs. 70/- for the rental from 11th - 18th nov.17 as per airtel store executive. They have helped me to permanently discontinuation of the number. Few minutes later customer care called me & they did same. After few hours later the connection got the stopped permanently on the same day. Now i am getting a bill where an amount of rs. 1441.79 is showing as due which is totally fake & a lock in period amount of rs. 1200/- is showing in the bill. But as per my knowledge when i took connection the service provider representative informed me that there was no lock in period. So where is coming this option. You are requested to help me in this regards & waive off the fake amount.

                          Converting from prepaid to post paid where in child no. Will get waiver monthly charges. But so far, i have to fight for this waiver every month.
                          Fed up with the customer services i have opted revert back to prepaid connections for which airtel is demanding me to furnish the mandatory documents for this i am refusing. Previously i have submitted all the relevant documents may be umpteen number times. Why should i submit / furnish just for go back to the same scheme. Where are my documents previously furnished.
                          Airtel do not give timely connections, harassing customer like me.

                            My airtel digital tv account was suspended on 25th dec after that i had done recharge of rs120 after the recharge my tv account balance is 134. But my account shows suspended due to low balance. After that i had speak to there customer executive they told me your service will not resume because you have to recharge ur tv with minimum rs150. They didnt resume my tv due to low balance according to them instead of having rs134 in my tv account. Is it fair policy made by them i dont think so. Kindly do the need full.

                              Hi, i have been using airtel since 14 years and i appreciate the fact that i have been with airtel becox of the strong network. Since 2 years there is network problem at my home. I have raised a compliant in july 2017 and i have been following it up with airtel (National escalation team) but of no use network issue is not resolved till now. They are not giving me any deadline as to how much time do they need to solve the issue. Agents are rude whom i spoke to, i m not sure why are they not able to solve the issue.

                              i first raised the complaint on July 27 and since then i have been making calls and emails to appellate.com, they just dint do anything. sent a representative at my home and did survey and found network at my home is zero (emergency calls only), U cant make a call or receive a call forget about net 3g or 4g. After finding that there is no tower which can cover my area, instead of resolving the issue they kept on saying it will take time to solve the issue how much time they want they never committed. After so much of struggle they escalated my issue tp National escalation team they are worst then nothing. One guy called me in Oct 2017 stating he will find out whats wrong with the issue and promised me that he will solve the issue and he disappeared.Big company like Airtel if they cant provide the network how r they claiming that they are the best service providers.

                                I have disconnected airtel broadband on nov 8 of 2017. To refund 880 rupees they told they need 50 days. Even after 50 days, they are asking for again 20 more days to refund.

                                I lost patience as i have called and mailed many times to refund..

                                I think airtel is in debit... They need to pay loans to banks or what with my 800 rupees..?

                                Airtel is behaving like a beggar...

                                  I am from northeast india, Imphal east.I have been using airtel like 4-5 years and more including my different no.Infact, all my family member uses airtel only. For a very long time, 4g coverage was very bad. It was fixed recently(I think ). I get the speed a normal 4g user would get. But it is very unstable. I measured the ping through speed test .it was awesome, but the high jitter put the network to a different level. It's all messed up. I can't even play mobile games peacefully.And I don't think a network with that much jitter can be called quality network. I hope it will fixed.

                                      Dear sir,
                                      I am using airtel post-paid connection with phone no. [protected]and i’ve applied to change my connection type to prepaid on 18 november 2017, submitted all the documents required and i was told it will be activated within 48 hours by airtel customer service executives. However, it is not yet activated till date. I called the customer executive on 23 november 2017 and they told me that the postpaid connection will be activated with in two days and i requested for changing my 3 postpaid number (One parent sim and 2 child sim) and one child sim was changed and remaining which never happened. The customer service is too bad to provide the right information to the customers. Again, i called the same number when i called the number the executive on the other side said to contact the airtel store where i gave to change my number. But its not yet activated and i was misguided by this information. When i went there they told me they can't do anything. The customer service executives told me that i’ll get a call back with the status which never happened as well. Now, i’ve lost my patience as i waited over a month for a connection even though i’ve submitted all the required documents. I am very disappointed by the service provided and they made me do a lot of phone calls to the customer service who failed to provide the correct information. Hence i am approaching consumer court to get justice.
