We don't have airtel network in our village, there is not a single bar coming in our village, there is only Vodafone and idea but they only support 2g only they also not upgraded to 3g/4g. So I request u to install airtel 4G tower or may be 3G even. Address

    I had got an airtel dth connection and now after 1 year the signal is at its lowest and whenever i call they only talk about money to be paid to engineer. They dont talk anything about resolving the issue. If it drizzles the tv goes off and none of the channels load. On their hd dth there are problems even with sd resolution. Their engineers over charge than what they tell when booking the engineer as well

    64317311 is the complaint number. Suprisingly the previous reps never entered our request despite hours on call with them. They also blame that fault is from our side and issue with our setup box.

        On Monday, 14/08/17, an unsolicited service was activated on my cell.
        I received a text message from AK-AIRSEP which read:

        "NDTV Latest News service has been activated @ Rs15.0 for 13day(s). Txn ID S45007244, 14Aug17 12.53. ..."

        This is the second time an incident such as this has happened to me; the first time I let it slip. Even though the amount charged was only Rs15, this activity must be stopped. I would appreciate the money charged to be refunded.

            I ported my jio sim to airtel last monday.
            The dealer told it would be started in a week. But, it has not started yet. Also, my old jio sim is still working which shouldn't be in ideal case. Kindly contact me asap.
            It is really bad that the company like airtel is having this delay in starting a new sim.

              I had switched from Vodafone Postpaid primary no which i use for Office & Personal use to Airtel Postpaid. I finished the tele verification of the same no yesterday (Aug 14) 11 PM which is around 20 hours before now and the person in the call promised that the services will be started in 30 mins but still nothing is working. I am not able to receive calls from my clients, family or anyone, I am not able to receive my OTPs or any SMS and am not able to use the internet. This has completely affected my work and made my day difficult. More than this, I am not able to reach Customer Care to report this as there is no option to interact with them in 121 Toll Free no. And when i had raised a complaint through mail, they are telling that they will fix it by Thursday. Are they expecting me to live without my Work and Personal no for 3 days which will have huge impact on my work and will they cover my loss because of this?. Please fix this as soon as possible.

              The no i ported from Vodafone to Airtel is +[protected]. If you want to reach me, can call me me through my friend no +91-[protected].

                From 13th August 2017, my internet is giving only 1kbps of download speed. And none of your airtel store or customer care executive is giving proper solution. All of them are giving their fifferent suggestion and my problem is not solved till now.

                On 15th August, i was suggested to replace my SIM from airtel store person. Then he sent message from my curent number "SIM[protected]U" to 121 and i got this reply -"Sorry! This SIM seems to be faulty. Please visit the nearest airtel store to get a new SIM. For store details, SMS STORE to 121."
                The store guy told me that this is because of national holiday but customer care executive didn't approved for the above explaination.

                I hope my words will get to you guys and my problem will get proper solution on behalf of your kind cooperation.

                Thanks.

                      I have a prepaid airtel number [protected] for which i want to generate upc code for mobile number portability but after sending several msg for the same airtel is not giving me upc. Everytime i send the msg to get a the upc they charge me msg charge but not giving the code. This is seems to be that airtel is cheating their own customer and restrict them to opt out from airtel by not providing upc. My alternate mobile number is [protected]

                        But I got 250mb data only. I called customer care, and asked about this. They said they vl update by 2 days. So in this two days, I should recharge with one more pack if I need data. This is very worst thing worst airtel software, worst way of managing it. TRAI should take action against this kind of things

                          Worst service i have ever encountered. Airtel 4G is the worst service. They are simply cheater. They have cheated me with a 4G doungle with lots of promises of speed & data but all in vain.

                          This scoundrels are simply cheaters. My connection no is [protected] and complain no is SR78439304.

                          My request to everyone is not to go with Airtel. I dont anyone to face what Im facing. These cheaters will robe your heard earned money.

                              I have an Airtel postpaid sim I m using it from past 3 years.

                              Day before yesterday on 13 aug 2017 around 0006hrs my sim (no [protected]) suddenly lost network connectivity. I reinserted the sim but still no luck. I tried the sim in different handset still no network, while I tried different Airtel sim ant that was working, so there is no issue with my phone or network. I even tried selecting network in manual mode and it was showing all other networks other than Airtel.

                              I have lodged the complain at customer care but my query was not resolved.

                              All my communication is with this sim only and OTPs also.

                              Kindly resolve my issue ASAP

                              Thanks and regards

                                    Am staying in b narayanapura, banglore. Am using airtel 4g hotspot dongle.
                                    In our area we are not getting 4g speed even 2g speed is better than this. Tried complaint so many times but still not resolved. From may month am struggle to use internet but they are charging what they are even though its issue with network in my area.

                                    Few people visited my area to check signal strength and it has issue but no action taken against it.

When I called to customer care they just raised a qurey and said with in half hour you 4G service is going to be active, same thing customer care tell like this when I called them, I call them two or thrice on 12 august, at last in the evening 5:30 pm they have raised ticket for my request and they said that maximum till 14 August before 8pm you will get 4G service. But still my 4G service is not yet active. When again I reached to customer care again they are asking me more 24 hours to resolve.for first day I am not getting proper internet not able browse the site . Now I am totally disappointed with Airtel service. I don't know when my 4G service is going to active, my three days is wasted and I don't know again how many days Airtel customer care will waste to resolve this issue. I just want 4G service in my sim. Waiting for that.
