Even when the weather conditions are good, i am getting error code b001 which is for disconnection due to bad weather. When i called customer care, the lady executive does not even know how to talk to customers. Her behaviour was very rude and she did not even take my complaint and disconnected the call when i asked her to transfer the call to get manager.

    This morning at about 10-20am i received a missed call to my mobile no [protected]. When i called back it is a recorded sex talk, which i could not even switch off. It ran for awhile. After it ended message of billing read it is 6minute call costing rs 150/-i wonder how airtel can allow such spurious calls and eat away all our balances for no fault of me. Please look in to the matter and restore my account balance. How a 6 minute call cost rs150-? Please inform action taken to my email [protected]@yahoo.com

    Customer service representative called back and told us they are calling about the complaint. Told us they are calling from Airtel. asked for bank card details to remit the RS 150. When we got the text they are trying to take ₹4900 out. We had to immediately call our bank they did confirm that they tried to take ₹4900out of our account
    Want to know who how a Airtel representative tried to take the money out?..

      I have taken an iphone with airtel a year back with rs 1999/- plan per month, where rs. 1334/- is emi and rs. 665/- as rental. The airtel is charging this amount every month as part of my bill, at the same time their finance team (Bajaj finance) is deducting the same emi from my bank account from last april. I have informed this with airtel many times, but no action from them yet. Also airtel has informed that my contract is already ended by june 2017, still deducting the emi two times monthly. They have adjusted few amount in my earlier bills, but i have asked them to stop. Hence they haven't paid the extra amount of last 3 months back to me. At the same time, airtel has charged me emis after my contract period. The total amount deducted extra is 3 months of emi deducted from my bank account + 6 months of emi part of my bill after contract. I have escalated this issue many times, but no action yet from airtel. I am following with airtel most of the days, and it is affecting my life with lots of stress and tension. Please help

        I was getting reminder to move to 4g from my existing sim(3g). Hesitantly when I moved( I was happy with 3g also) the sim is not working.

        Dear Airtel team,
        Kindly fix this or call at [protected] in case you need any details but you can't switch off my sim for 48 hours.
        Just FYI: Vodafone changed my sim in 7 mins flat( including activation).

          There is no 4g data speed as airtel brags about as i have been experiencing problems since the day i have recharged my phone
          Why does they give you fake promises if they can't even fulfill it
          And there costumer service is soo poor that when i tried getting help from there they said they regret regarding my problem but have no solution towards it
          It just as simple as that i want my money back with an apology from airtel regarding their disrespect and fake promises.

              I recharged with rs448 through airtel official website with the page showing recharge successful, money was debited from my account.
              But my number was actually not recharged.
              I contacted airtel customer care with the transaction number given by airtel website. But the customer care executive said that he was not able to trace the details through the transaction number. He then said that the transaction number didn't exist. Hopeless service. The transaction number which airtel gave me was not available to airtel customer care executive. He also insisted not to recharge through any online mode. So poor airtel...

                I have airtel postpaid connection, and having infinity pack of 799 in which i got 40gb 4g data.
                But from last 1month i am getting 4g speed only at youtube. No other sites i opened getting faster speed than 100kb/s. But in youtube i am getting speed of 5mb/s.
                Airtel is just fooling me by giving data.
                I have also complaint to 121 many times, but they are not doing anything.

                    Though i live in the very center of the it-hub in hyderabad. The signal is very poor.in my house i won't even get one point and my friends and everyone who calls me gets frustrated due to this network.

                    Its not just me, neighbors are also feeling the same way. Yours is the worst network ever.

                    Forget about 4g, 3g, atleast give me 2g. I can't even call anybody.

                    I live just beside rto office, kondapur main road. Hyderabad - 500084

                        Hi team

                        I have provided the documents and paid the amount on 14 of dec and was told that the devices will be installed by another technician within 72 hours. I was waiting patiently.

                        However, today (Dated 18 dec 2017) i was told that i will have to wait for another 4 days for the installation. I asked the reason and they told it is some technical issue (No specific reason is there).in my flat, other people are able to use the airtel broadband connection and the new connection is 200% feasible.

                              Sub: airtel post paid data card mobile number: [protected] my plan 699/- daily 2 gb data backup 8gb data, (Total 68 gb plan but i am not able to use 5 gb also because of airtel bad 4g poor worst quality network.

                              Sir, i am manjunath. B using airtel post paid data card mobile number: [protected] my plan 699/- daily 2 gb data backup 8gb data, (Total 68 gb plan but i am not able to use 5 gb also because of airtel bad 4g poor worst quality network.
                              So until they fix the network problems i swiched to 1gb 35 gb data available (But still airtel bad 4g poor worst quality network 80% of my data not able to use it, check my compliant in this number, airtel data card no: [protected].

                              A) in open network tower is showing v good. Its next to my building within 20 meters, when i took this connection 25 mpbs speed i was getting but from last 2 months not even 1 mpbs speed not even i can send mails properly.

                              2) airtel customer care i called and registered this compliant,

                              3) they sent one engineer to my location and verified signals it was very poor he told me, they told me that they will fix this problems in 15 days.

                              5) airtel customer care officer given me 50% discount on my bill and he told that until problems they will not fix they will give 50% discount.

                              6) till date they have not fixed the problems but again i got 100% bill to pay this mont

                              What is this service i don’t understand?
                              Seeing airtel adds people are purchasing dongles and wifi routers, if tower signals not working they have to through dongles and wifi routers to dust bin, it looks like airtel 4g plan are fraud

                              My home is in city center area of bangalore, just 10 kilometers to state assembly building vidhana soudha, here also aitel tower problems means what about entire india 100000 of small villages are there, how they are running this service.

                              So, please [protected] data card bill dated 04-dec-2017 is due on 22-dec-2017, wave of entire bill amount and

                                I had discontnued airtel dongle and i had to clear the bill, inspite of going to airtel gallery and paying the overdue amount also!, airtel customer care executive named aarti and one of the other colleague and few more to be named called and spoke in a rude manner!.
                                They don't have courtesy nor records!
                                Nevertheless to say inspite of paying the bill they are behind you and calling you every now and then.
                                And before paying the bill they even said you pay the bill and then talk to the manager!!
                                Felt hurted, we also loose temper but they should be trained to deal with customers

                                  Hi i am srikanth. I have a "moto c plus" mobile for that i thought change my airtel sim size as nano. So i visit the airtel store which located in balapur (Hyderabad). First i pay 50 rupees for new sim and i gave a id proof. They said after 4 hours it will change but it's not change. Again i visit todays they do the same process but not it's change. Till today i am visited 4 times in this office but they should not give clear reply. Their respect to the customer is very very poor. I am very hurt because of their behavior. So airtel head office please confirm your employees are do work correctly. Atleast teach them how to behave with the customers.

                                      Hi,

                                      In the month of dec2017, when i checked message i found my money of rs. 150 deducted whatsmob service, when i called the airtel customer care they said it is deducted yes but when i told them we are not aware of this then why airtel allowed to deduct money? They said they are not responsible.
                                      If they are not responsible then why the don't stop providing service itself? When they can deduct our money without our concern.
                                      If you are giving my money are you not responsible? I trusted you and given money to you and after giving you are saying not responsible who will accept this.
                                      I request govt of india and take action on such act to give more confidence to country men to encourage online transaction as our prime minister moto.

                                      Hope to get suitable support and help to resolve this kind of issue to anyone in feature.

                                        Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560025
                                        Website: www.educationworld.in

                                        Educationworld office at 703-704, 7th floor, devatha plaza. 132 residency road. Bangalore 560025 has 30+ users of airtel connection and hundreds of complaint have been registered for worst network and call quality.
                                        Airtel is least bothered to solve it, i am afraid failing to attend complaint we would switch to other service provider.

                                        All employees of educationworld would be switching to other service if call connection and quality is not improved in next 24 hours.

                                        Hi,
                                        I am using airtel since 5 years. Sim was working fine.
                                        But when I installed my sim in Slot1 of my motorola X play phone.. the internet stopped working. and on checking i found out that the Sim is shown as suspended in my phone.
                                        I am not able to understand why my sim has been suspended as i am using this sim continously.
                                        My Airtel dth no [protected]-001 i recharged my account and i found the amount got deducted from my bank account on first time. But its not recharged so can i get refund. Please look to this. This was my second complaint on airtel services
