I have been raising complaints to airtel since i am unable to use 4 g and there is no service in my current location.

I got tired and i tried to port my number multiple times to another service provider.
Every single time i tried doing that, airtel kept giving me consolation that they will work on the issue. It has been a month and a half and the issue has not yet resolved.

Yet they are asking me to make a payment for 2 months to port my number to another service provider. My airtel account is reflecting the amount of data that is unused.

Not just that i have suffered heavy loss in business because my customers were unable to contact me.

I want airtel to wave off my bill and i want to port my number to another service provider. Also, i want a compensation for constant harassment, mental torture and the losses i incurred because of their lax attitude.

      I have converted my airtel number ([protected]) from postpaid to prepaid today. When i try to recharge error msg appears 'please enter a valid airtel number'.

      I checked with the customer care as well, they said that the number is active and functional. I can receive calls but not able to make any outgoing calls because of insufficient balance. I tried to log a complaint at airtel office, but they are saying it may take more than 1 week to resolve this issue. I have been using the same number as postpaid for years. This is a very poor service from such a reputed brand. Just frustrated with airtel service. Its better to shift jio compare to airtel. Airtel don't even care their customer. I

          Hi

          This is regard to airtel connectivity - net cable wiring needed — opposite to artemis hospital, sec 51, gurgaon, haryana 122001

          I am residing in this sector - 52 from last one and half year and i have been contacted more than 3 times to customer care for broad band connection but they are saying - no setup present (Airtel net cable wiring not present) so it can't be done. This sector is fully developed now - so many new houses built up - many people are residing now. More than 15 to 20 house owner wants to take airtel broad band connection.

          So i request you to setup net wire connectivity asap. So that people of this sector - 52 can take airtel broadband connection.

          Please adhere this request asap.

          Thanks

                My main concern is the following (Why i have raised complaint):
                1. Call drop issue: no network available most of the time and you assure better connectivity network. Don’t know why?
                2. Speed of 4g, 3g and 2g is not good. 2g of vodafone is much better than your 3g and 4g network.
                3. Calls get disconnected frequently.
                4. Why complaint has been closed without customer feedback (Does customer feedback value for airtel or not).
                5. Complaint was raised last year 2017 but no update/resolution has been provided yet. We have to call them and get update. But they don't have any moral responsibility to update us.
                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                There is a problem in my airtel SIM no.[protected] in this SIM when i place call then other side can not hear my voice but when others call on my mobile the voice quality remains excellent kindly look into it as service personnel could not be contacted despite several efforts

                  There is a wide problem of signals
                  my 4g services turn 'e' when i enter pantnagar university
                  I lost my mobile and need to deactivate the Mobile Number [protected]. I am trying to reach customer care but couldn't able to do.
                  Date of Incident : 06th Jan 2018
                  Mobile number : [protected]
                  No complaint is registered yet. Need to deactivate the mobile number.
                  I opted for 399 plan this morning. (Unlimited calls with 1 GB usage per day valid up to 70 days)
                  The amount is debited from my account, however the Airtel balance is still showing 0.
                  Tried 3 times to reach customer care (121). I was unsuccessful.
                  My recharge Order:[protected]
                  I’m using iPhone 7 and despite using a 4g handset I’m not able to use internet at a good speed. I feel very irritated at all times. Even in a metro city like Bangalore it’s happening. In your ads you post that you get full Tower in Himalayas ! Clearly cheating consumers.

                        Airtel india... It is frustrating to complete the claim process. After multiple attempts through uploading documents on the site, sending multiple mails, calling the call center - my claim status still shows that the documentation is incomplete. Sms for call back gives an immediate response saying you will be called within 2 business hours, there is no call back even after 8 days. Top it all there is restrictions on number of calls the customer can make to the call centre. No responses to emails. Why create a service which cannot be delivered? My multi connection no is [protected] whose activation i want, call me [protected]/[protected]@gmail.com

                            I have 220.00 rs.in my main balance but still i cant activate offers with my main balance through my airtel app. Why do i spent money to recharge, as customer care said me to do, while i am having sufficient balance as my main balance. Please give some alternative as my airtel app is showing only two options that are net banking and pay with cards like debit or credit card. Though my airtel app balance is nil but i have much more money in my main balance than the amount of recharge as shown in offer i. E. Of 199

                              I am trying to do recharge through airtel app using my airtel wallet but it displays, "debit for this account not allowed."
                              This is causing too much trouble for me. I am a student and ₹448 is too huge a sum for me to be stuck somewhere.
                              If it was meant to be freezed then i should not have been allowed to add that sum of money to the wallet in the first place.
                              This is very bad from airtel.

                                Company failed to update on aadhar

                                No response so far??
                                staff at Airtel, was unable to explain as why they are not able to update the Aadhar records,
                                They tried and failed
                                They told me to change the instrument, without reason
                                Other messages are well received while Aadhar update message not received
                                No reason

                                  My name is abhilash. My airtel number is [protected]. I had recharged my airtel number of 448 plan with a validity of 70 days but soon after jio increases their validity of the same play, airtel too increase the validity to 82 days of 448 plan. So what about us who is still using the 70 days of validity but others using 82 days of validity of same plan. This is really feels disgusting for me to digest this formula. Airtel should definetely answers me. What is that...

                                    My company allows to claim reimbursement of my cell phone bill. For the last 3 months, airtel has been inflating the bill amount which is almost 3 times of my average bill. After talking to the customer service reps, the correct amount gets updated online and on the app. However, this doesn't help me as my company accepts only printed phone bill. After repeated requests, airtel managers stated that they cannot issue a bill with the correct amount. I was promised that this issue will not reoccur but it turned out to be a false one, as always. I need airtel to reimburse the bill amount as i am not able to claim from my company as it is entirely airtel's inability to rectify the issue at their end.

My mobile supported to both 4G and 3G services. I called couple of times to Airtel customer care but there is no proper response from their side. Actually My plan 3G+4G pack but I'm getting only 2G services.This is not a fair, I paid bill the amount but I'm getting less services from Airtel...
