I wanted to change from postpaid to prepaid. What i thought a simple procedure is making me to run to airtel stores and call customer care multiple
Times. Still the conversion is not done. Started the conversion by visiting the airtel store on 28th jan'18 and i was sent back quoting different reasons to visit some other time multiple times. Finally my request was accepted on 19th feb'18 and i received a new sim assuring me that it will get activated in 1 or 2 days. My old sim got deactivated on 22nd feb and till now (8th mar) they have not activated the new sim. Called customer care and mailed multiple times. Everytime a false assurance only is given and they don't tell me why it is taking this much time. I really don't know why my old sim was deactivated in first place.

    Airtel coverage is very poor and every times when i make a call it was saying as all lines are currently busy more than 3 to 4 times i have to get connected. I have lodged complaints regarding this several times to airtel customer care but they are not responding properly.

    Also i have lodged a complait as my mobile internet is also very poor. Registered complaint to the appelate node and nodal wing also but none of them have give proper solutions.

    Nearly i am being complainting this issue for about 3 months.

    Also i have collected many datas of customers who are facing this issue.

    If i didnt get the proper solution i think better to move legally

      I've ported my no [protected] from bsnl to airtel and the number tele verification is repeatedly failing everytime i try to call to 59059. I recharged my number but amount is refunded saying error. So please try to get solve this issue and you can contact me on my alternate no [protected].
      Calling customer care is of no use as they ask for 24 hrs every day and it has been 4 days and past 4 days same dialogue they shoot on me to give them 24 hrs and they need so to resolve server error.

            My current airtel postpaid number is [protected] . I added child number [protected] to my plan to share calls/data in first week of feb . When i inserted the SIM data service on child number is not working . Complain number 83688783 which they said they have resolved by refreshing the network setting .
            Customer care said you need to visit on airtel store to get the problem solved. When i visit the service center they said we have put the complain 0126207 it will be resolved by 3rd march . But the problem didn't resolve.

            I re-visited the service on 7th march and they said complain has already been resolved but it is still not working . They said we can't fix the issue, please visit other service center . I said give me in written but they refused and said we are frencise and we can't give anything . Airtel store is at rohtak -124001 near medical more. Person SUnny-[protected] .

            Also they are just calling customer care and registering another complain. And giving feedback as awesome from my phone without permission and issue resolution.

            i went to another airtel outlet as they asked and they said SIM is faulty and gave me a duplicate SIM and said wait for 4 hours . On new SIM it will be working . But it is still not working .
            All there tech team says, restart phone after half hour, change phone etc which doesn't work.

            When i called customer care agian they said we don't see any problem .We are raising another complain. They raised complain 83906805 .

            They are just raising complain after cmplain but no solution . I asked them to port the number, but they said you can't do it for 90 days . From last one month i am stuck on airtel with no data service.

            Please suggest what can be done. Take action on airtel, i am paying the money without the data service.

              Airtel people are now intentionally harassing customers who wants to shut down their connection. Need help. Everytime we call they intentionally speak the same lines again and again, no matter what you say or talk or beg they will not. By their voice its clear that that personal in final office sitting at closure is just having fun with you. Can someone help?? P l s

                Dear sir/madam Every month i'm being forced to pay rs 199/- extra on my plan because airtel service people are not deactivating the booster from my plan.

                You are requested to immediately cancel the booster data pack from my postpaid plan otherwise i'll be forced to change over to a different service provider and file a complaint against airtel.

                    Airtel money is only allowing us to add money to wallet not to transfer.. This is very big cheating..If they need KYC updates then they need to restrict both add and send money. But they accept the money but not allowing to transfer..

                    Airtel app is showing the service is temporarily not available. Already 2 weeks gone.Looks like they wants to hold the money.. Also it shows we can use wallet money only for recharge..But how can I recharge for that big amount 3400 rupees
                    Please help me to take my money

                    Need your support to get back my money from wallet. Nowadays airtel is going worst.

                          According to tv ads airtel is providing 4g service in forests, himalayas and even unknown places in india but while we talk about 4g network in ghazipur city (Up), airtel says we can't provide 4g internet there.
                          Before recharging my account, airtel customer care suggested me to recharge my account and i will get all services including 4g as well. But now airtel is saying we can't provide 4g internet service at your current location.

                          My sim isn’t providing network for 10 hours now. No service is being shown. I have tried everything. Switched on and off my phone, put it in airplane mode, did everything. Please resolve the issue. Mobile no-[protected]
                          Earlier I was on Rs. 499 plan but effective 06/02/2018 I changed my plan to Rs. 399/- . In addition, starting 09/02/2018 I was granted Rs. 100/- discount on monthly rent. Still my February Bill is as high as Rs. 540/-, which is beyond my understanding. You are requested to send the bill break up to me at the earliest.
                          Plz unsubscribe/deactiveate my airtel tv, monthly they r detacting 199rs. Am not using this airtel tv app. So, plz deactiveate my airtel tv.
                          We have so many airtel customers in my village but there is no sufficient network coverage . Even couldn't connect normal call . If any emergency we have to go so far from village to make call.
                          I'm not getting the network please Install the tower near my house I have the space if you want to install the tower
                          Called customer service. Complained on Twitter. Cannot deal with this connection anymore.

                              On dec 23rd there was a debit from my credit card for my airtel number [protected]. It is a corporate number and hence i wanted the refund so that my organization can pay the due amount instead of me.
                              The customer care executives claimed that they had done the refund and hence revoked the payment. But, after multiple follow-up calls and emails, i still could not make the customer care executives understand that i have not received the amount. Neither my organization did. Every other day a new person gives a call, tries to understand the problem and send a mail as closure. First and foremost there is no one person tracking the issue. Every other executive have their own resolution, make me send multiple information/details etc and then every time it ends with no resolution.
                              Till date none of your customer care executive could share the transaction details for the refund. Although i have submitted my credit card statements showing the payment.
                              I have been following up for 3 months. Nothing is more frustrating then requesting over and over again for your own money.
