    I have taken a new airtel sim in the month of november, 2017. I have done a recharge of rs.449 plan for 70 days. Now i am receiving sms and calls regularly that my number will be discontinued if i don't make outgoing calls. This is unprofessional service by airtel. My number has been e-verified with my aadhaar number also so there is no point to discontinue the sim card.

      50% of the times when someone calls me it tells them the phone is switched off when the phone is completely on and it has full signal with a 4g symbol
      I recently moved to airtel and my dad too made a move to airtel 4g but when his connection is on 4g if someone calls hin it states its switched off its a 4g compatible phone
      Why is your service so pathetic

        I converted my existing plan to airtel 499 family plan on 19th nov 2019 and i have added my wife number as child number. After activation my number getting so many issues
        1. She could not able to call outside karnataka std
        2. She could not able to call international calls
        3. She could not able to use internet using mobile data
        After series calls and follow ups the issues 1 and 2 resolved. Mobile data issue is pending since 3 weeks. Initially it worked after resolving 1 & 2 issues mobile data is not working. We are calling almost every day, they telling some stories and i asked them remove the child number from parent, that they could not able to do that also. If they are not clear about the plan i don't know why they are imposing on people.
        They are not doing any follow ups and we have to call them and explain the everytime from the begining.
        Thanks & regards
        Ravi

            I have bought airtel 4g hotspot and the person who is selling assured the service gets activated in 4hours. It's almost 48 hrs and even the service didn't get activated.
            The customer care didn't provide valid information either to troubleshoot or what the issue was.
            After 48 hrs i got to know that the number is activated but i am getting sim is invalid message in the 4g hotspot portal and asked to go-to airtel centre.
            I went to airtel store where i purchased at 7:55 pm and the shutters are already half closed.
            I requested to check the issue and provide a new sim but the rep told it will take 1 hr to check the issue and store is already closed.
            When you cannot keep your promise don't sell your services.
            I am having two airtel postpaid numbers one airtel prepaid one broadband and airtel tv connection.
            I took airtel tv hotspot as my cousin asked for office work and airtel gave me pain instead of service.
            A big thanks to airtel

                    Hi, i have raise a broad band request and paid the amount online ₹500 on4th 12 2017. As the broad band service was not feasible in my area for broadband connection i requested them to refund my amount. I am following this issue with customer care and then submit complain to nodal team but haven't got any proper response from any one. So i have contacted appellate team but then also i am unable to get my refund amount yet. It has been almost 10days now and still i am not getting my refund amount. I am also requesting to all the other users who are thinking to buy airtel broadband or 4g service to not to buy any services from airtel and not to pay online for new broadband connection as you will not get any refund amount after paying online. Regards, chandrika

                      Hi.
                      I have airtel number : [protected] and my name is uday ram.
                      My airtel payment bank never allow me to pay money for anything. I don't understand why it then allows me even to credit the money, if i cannot use the app and spend it.
                      I have around 200 rs in the airtel wallet and i want airtel to either solve the issue with my account, or refund the money.
                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                      I'm using Airtel 4g but the speed I'm getting here is below docomo 2g and you guys are claiming to be the best.wow nice confidence you know.what ever do something on it or I'm gonna change this network.Even network is not there.

                      airtel debit for this account is not allowed - Comment #2944421 - Image #0
                      50 rs was deducted from my prepaid balance for ICON services which wasn't requested by me.Everytime I recharge my balance goes nil because they deduct money from my account.i deactivated it but did not get my money back.i have lost 80 rs from my account now.
                      It is one of the worst networks in range as well as transparency. I recharged with 799 which gives 3.5 gb data daily or is supposed to give. But even then my entire balance was cut as well as additional balance which I put

                          Hi,

                          Its been really very sad to come through very bad services from airtel. I have an airtel secure plan since july '17 (Since last 6 months).

                          I always take good care of my phone and never ever have been careless in handling of the phone. It is still working while the lcd is broken due to an accident, as someone pushed me from behind while coming out of the lift. However, i was never aware that slipping of phone from jacket pocket won't cover in the insurance, until i heard that my claim has been rejected due to carelessness. What a rubbish statement ever... May i request you to look into the matter..

                          I have not taken this secure services from insurance provider and i dont want to hear their lame excuses. I am going to proceed with legal option if not taken my request seriously.

                          Hoping to hearing from you soon.

                          Today received a call from 8340152897 and person threaten me that company Airtel is going to disconnect all services on my no.

                          Now these Company's have started threatening consumers who are paying them
                          I am using Airtel 3g network but I suffering from network problem. Network is very in my area. Please do something for that.

                              Hi,

                              This is to bring to your kind attention that, since the my mobile number porting was successful on 3rd or 4th december, 2017. I have been experiencing extremely slow browsing on my mobile phone.
                              I called airtel support guys and did whatever they asked me to. Example - change the internet settings, the apn settings, take the sim out and wait for 30 seconds... Everything, but with no luck.

                              Finally, the so-called customer support specialist (Customer cheat specialist), told me that i will get a call back from airtel network team to fix the issue.

                              I did get a call once from a lady who again asked me to do the same thing, which apparently did not work. She then told me she would call me back after 24 hours after resetting my profile from the beck-end.

                              Since then, i have been waiting for those 24 hours to end. I called airtel guys every day to inquire about the status, but with vain. Everyone kept lying that i should get a call back within 24 hours, but that never happened. Following is the sequence.

                              Spoke to airtel customer support specialist named bhavin, he promised me that i should get a call-back within 24 hours.

                              Next day, i called and spoke to franklin d'souza, i was on the receiving end of a fake promise again.

                              Next day, i spoke to a lady, fake promise continues...

                              Next day, i spoke to dhiren patel... No luck.

                              To make the things worst, these guys even closed my ticket without any proper solution or justification. However, i got a text from airtel saying they could proceed further with the ticket number because i was unreachable [which is again a lie]

                              Note - i need my money back!!! You charge me for 4g and provide 2g speed.

                                  Why i am facing frequent call drop in the airtel network. Where as my idea is working fine in the same place.
                                  I am staying in kukatpally near patel kunta park. Why cant you people address these issue inspite of many followups???

                                  And also facing no network issue and voice quality. Unable to hear to call. #.

                                  Worst ever network, why you are going to mountatins to check your signals, first you need to server basic location of customers properly.

                                    I am suffering from network problems since 1 months but from your side no response to clear the network problems. If airtel is unable to clear my problems then i port my number to another company?

                                    I have received a call from your company and they said i will not clear your problem.
                                    That attitude hurts me a lot.
