      I have a poor connection from airtel. I had raised a complaint to airtel but till now there has been no improvement. On the contrary the problem has aggravated and i have been informed that my cell phone is unreachable at times. This is impacting my work. I have complained many times but problem still persisting, instead of solving my issues, advised to send a sms at 515 for internet connectivity problem, no improvement till today.

        My sim card stopped working automatically on dec 13th morning around 10am. I got a new simcard around 8pm from airtel gallery in mulund, mumbai. They said that it would be activated within 4 hours. But this didn't get activated even by morning of dec 14th. So i visited the same airtel gallery again at 10.30 am. They said that request was approved but not updated on server. So they would raise a request and try to fix it in few hours. I called them few times later in the day to check the stauts but the issue was not fixed. Then when i called them fourth time at around 4.30pm, i was told that the issue would not be fixed so i have to again visit airtel gallery and purchase a new card.

        Overall experience was frustrating as my phone was disconnected for 2 full days and didn't see airtel trying to work on my request on priority inspite of letting them what i was facing and also the losses i was occurring due to no operation of my phone.

        Request someone to help asap.

        Thanks.

            I am on international roaming since 3rd september. On 25th of september i stopped receiving any signal on my aitel sim, till today i am not receiving any signal. I have complained lot of times to airtel, they are not able to resolve my issue, but at the same time, they are sending me monthly bill.

            I requested them to waive my bill for the period which my sim was inactive, but they are not responding and they are not activating my sim.

            Due to this i am not able to use my credit and debit card, as all my cards are linked to this number.
            Untill they activate my sim, i can not even pay my bills as i cannot receive my otp.

              My airtel postpaid number is not being used from last 4 months. Still, am receiving the bill statements. Called a customer care 2 months back and lodged complaint saying, i have not used the connection. They didn't respond. And again, providing bill statement for every month and calling to the number provided to pay bills.

              I received a bill of 500 even thought i haven't used it for 2 months. My bill plan is 299 rs/-. They called me to say pay the bill. The customer care person told to pay the bill for 300. I rejected to pay cause i haven't used it. I have asked them to deactivate the number. They were silent all these days and my number is still active. Now again, after 4 months, i am getting the bill statements of the number.

                Dear sir, 14.12.17
                Greetings!
                I would like to register my complaint against airtel customer care support office (Airtel show room) which is situated at navalur, omr (Near ags theatre), chennai.
                Yesterday (13.12.17) wednesday around 6:00pm, i visited to the above said airtel show room with my wife and children to discuss about my phone tariff that i have with airtel.
                The following unwanted things were happened when i entered into the office.
                (I) while entering into the show room nobody welcomed me and not even given a chair to sit, in which no other customers in the shop except the people working in that office and some other people who are working for airtel.
                (Ii) i was standing in front of that enquiry person, i asked certain clarification but he rudely replied to my questions and asking me to come on next week with out giving any kind of respect.
                (Iii) while continuing my conversation, the other people of that office also joined with that person and shouted on me.
                (Iv) they have insulted me by using disrespectful words.
                (V) they have threatened me saying that they will block my number and they forced me to tell the mobile number that i am using.
                (Vi) they also argued with my wife without giving any kind of respect to her.
                The above said event insulted me a lot and has given a lot of depression to mind and soul. My children and wife were got afraid of this event. There is a cc tv coverage, where you can see things happened on yesterday evening.
                I am working as a professor in a reputed institution in chennai and this unforgettable incident was a great insult for me in my life.
                Here with i request you take appropriate action against that show room people as soon as people and let me know accordingly.
                If i do not get appropriate reply, i will go for legal action immediately.
                With warm regards,
                Dr. B. J. Balamurugan

                  Airtel is running the show in the worst and unethical manner. I advice ppl to switch over to any damn other service provider but not airtel... Frustrated by being with them. There's no transparency in dealing with the customers. Airtel is a big fraud.. Everytime you recharge your prepaid for no reason the amount keeps getting deducted from your account till you reach as low as to zero balance. Airtel telecallers quite prompt in promotional stuff but for grievances you never get connected even in 100 decades.

This is the worst experience with airtel

                            Dear sir,

                            I have lost my airtel sim last week and registereda complaint to block the number yesterday. After that they have asked to contact the nearby retailer to collect the new sim for the same number. I have paid for the same and collected and until now it is not activated and neither the customer care representative is not reachable!

                            I am very much dispaoointed with the service request and received another sim card from the same retailer stating that by contacting the customer care only it will be activated. I have been struggling since past few days and kindly advise the airtel customer care to reactivate my sim card and ask the customer care representative from airtel to contact me urgently failing which will force me to register a complaint on these processes (As i have already given my verification several times and got the mail confirming the same from ndia)

                            Your immediate reply will be highly appreciated.

                            With best regards,

                            Sethurajan. V

                                  Dear sir,

                                  On 9/12/2017 i have raise a request to port my number ([protected]) from idea to airtel. Today, 14/12/2017 my idea sim has deactivated and airtel not start its services, however when i replace my sim from idea to airtel, i got a message from airtel "your services have been set. Please restart your handset." but now i'm fully frustrated as airtel customer care persons are telling me to wait till 17th december. Without my active number how can i wait till 17. This is a completely a cheat case as when i get in touch with airtel the person who come to me with new airtel sim, he told me that your number will immediate activate once the idea deactivate your services. Requesting you to kindly do the need full as early as possible.

                                  Regards,

                                  Dear Sir,

                                  Mentioned issue is not resolved yet and no any revert from Airtel side. I thought they are big giant in telecom industry, that's why they are not taking my complaint seriously. Could anyone please short out my issue as my number is very imported to me. These days I am feeling just like a handicap. Requesting you to please please help me to start my services.

                                  Regards,
                                  Mohan

                                    Dear sir, my airtel no is [protected], i am from
                                    Mattukudiyirupu, nearby anjugramam, kanyakumari dist, tamilnadu, pin-629401.
                                    If i am inside home there will be no 2g tower also, then no need to say abt 4g...
                                    Please take necessary action by increasing the freequence or other, in anjugramam there is full tower which is 1km away... As airtel is my favorite, i think u will take necessary action regarding this.

                                    Thanks in advance...
