My outgoing calls are not connecting in one attempt, every time i call for around 4 to 5 times then it connects. Even the internet connection stays unstable, even i tried to call 198, that too is not getting connected,, to the same numbers if i try with other network the calls get connected, i am facing this issue since 2 months. This is the worst experience with airtel
Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
My airtel sim got deactivated and I want to reactivate it, so i tried to contact the customer service they didn't even listen to my complaint and cut the phone...worst service ever.
I was unable to recharge my prepaid mobile number with 448rs after porting from vodafone to airtel using paytm.unable to contact customer care also all hopeless options are coming instead of directly talking to customer care. Please help me with this.

    Dear sir/madam
    I am devidutta bibhutiray using the no ([protected]) for last 8 to 10 years. From last 3 days my sim is showing of (Sim card registratin fail). When i ask the customer care they said me to go to the nearest airtel retail store with adhar card to register my number, but when i went to retail store 50 k. M away from my locality, they said it have been deactivated. So i want to why my life time validity sim have been deactivated by you. It is the primary no to my business. So i request you to activate my above said no as soon as possible.

      Hello, i am subhasis debnath a postpaid plan user of 499/-. Though my postpaid plan is 499/- and i did not use any additional package or overuse internet but my current month bill generated 1179.13/-. This is not your first time it happens with me multiple times. Every time i have to issue a complaint and then bill was rectified. This is very disgusting service. Please review and regenerate the current bill as soon as possible.

        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,

            Team,

            I have transferred my mobile number from company to personal. Its been 10 days the service is very pathetic and no one is responding properly.
            Am not able to do any transaction without mobile number. Kuldeep is the manager in the airtel showroom, he picks up my call and he will not respond back.. Requesting your support to sort out. I have logged a compliant in airtel and number would be [protected]

              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.

              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,

                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...

                    Hello sir,
                    I have been using airtel for the psat 5 years and my sim stopped working on 11th december 2017 and i called customer care of airtel and they asked me to take it to the store and get it replaced so i got the sim replaced from the airtel store and submitted all necessary documents on 12th december 2017.

                    Since then its been 14 december more than 48 hours and even after making numerous complaints against the issue on twitter, facebook and by calling them the sim is still not activated.

                    Executives asked me to switch off and on mobile, when i am trying to contact customer care, they are stalling me by asking for 6-8 hours every time i call.

                    I am to contact people and missing on all the calls. As i'm a freelancer and all my customers reach me through phone i losing on my potential business. I am extremely harassed & mentally disturb by this and by complaining everywhere. I am unable to to have any resolution to this from any one. Please give proper solution asap

                      As my friends and relatives are calling me they are getting that my phone is not reachable. After numerous times it is connected but that too disconnecting in the middle. I am facing this issue from last three months and i am sure it is not a problem with my mobile as i tried it in different mobile phone. Can you look forward into this and suggest me a solution for it.

                      Yes I am sure this is not an issue with phone but the network. Airtel is notorious for this kind of result. I was present in my cubicle in office and another colleague called me on my mobile. He got phone is switched off message. He came to my cubicle and found me at my desk and my phone on with all 4 sticks of network strength on my phone.

                      I don't know which part of India you live but Airtel network in Pune is very bad. They have a technical problem which they simply do not admit.

                          Dear sir,
                          I had recharged my prepaid a/c with rs. 169 from airtel app promised to have free local and std calls for 28 days instead it valids only for 14 days. I tried to connect with customer care but they outrightly rejected and said by giving unrelated terms and conditions it has, but the terms and conditions was"not specified"in the app. They sent me the customer satisfactory message bearing
                          Ref. No. Cbnrv[protected], which i am not satisfied with.

                          Kindly redress my grievance of this type of hidden charges.

No. Ccnor[protected] registered on 29 nov 2017 there is no any rectification done by the telcom company airtel so far. This is the worst performance and services given by the airtel according to his agreements of service act. I feel that this is the highest degree of exploitation of the consumer rights. Kindly i request to you plz take necessary action against the negligence and cheating services of the telcom company company airtel. Ragini kumari.

                                What kind of customer care is this. Didnt at all expect this from airtel. I activated the 29. Rs data pack nearly 2 years ago and without my concern every single month they are deducting 29. Rs from my balance. The customer care number and ussd codes are not upto any kind o[censored]se and pity on your part. Deducting 29. Rs every month from my balance to give me data which i don't use. I require immediate response to solve this

                                  Hello,
                                  I want to complaint against airtel. About 3 months ago i have requested for porting my number from postpaid to prepaid and after one and half week they have deactivated my number without notifying me.
                                  When i raised concerns about that they said from my side the number was still pending to call. This they have not said to me while i was requesting for porting my number.
                                  Also this information i received after 1 month of my number deactivated.
                                  After that i asked them to patch me with their senior authority and they connected with me. They also said that they will reactivate my number but its been more than 15 days i am still not getting replay from them.

                                  Actually i am out of country for some time and because of the number deactivated i am not able to do any transactions from here because all my otp's related to accounts goes to that number.
                                  That number is also registered with my aadhar card and now i am struggling to verify my details for my online accounts as everything is now related to aadhar and if that number linked with aadhar is not active you will not get otp (One time password).

                                  Airtel nodal officer suggested me to send my blood relative to one of their airtel own center. I sent my brother to the center and they said they don't care if my number is deactivated they will not give me the number. Now one side nodal officers from airtel saying we can get the number from their center and other side center people saying they don't care.

                                  Please help me, as i am facing alot of challenges because of this.

                                  Regards,
                                  Shashank gupta

                                    I was using airtel data card number [protected]. On 20th july it stopped working. Since it had given me problems earlier also, i decided to discontinue. I called airtel customer care on 21st july and requested to discontinue the service which the call centre person confirmed me that the connection will be disconnected effective 22nd july. After about 15 days later i got a call where i was told that i have to pay the bill, when i questioned them that i have cleared all dues till 22nd july then which am i supposed to pay?? He did not clarify.
                                    After this i started getting calls from airtel call centre where they were demanding money and using threatening language and abusing me
                                    Now airtel staff is giving me threatening calls very frequently. I can file a criminal against airtel as they are using unfair practices to extract money and it amounts to mental torture. Please see to it that this is stopped immediately. Negligence of airtel staff cannot be covered up by such means.
                                    Please ensure such calls are not repeated and appropriate action taken against airtel
                                    Thanking you

                                      All the above complaints related to the registered single customer upon the two numbers. There is no improvement at all in the network, 3g/4g data services speed.

                                      Why the customer has to pay such huge amount to airtel?
