    Had received multiple promotion calls to opt for Airtel Black, since am with Airtel mobile family plan from many years, but to my surprise the broadband person states currently they do not have Fibre connectivity, Hence cannot provide more than 40 MBPS link, later the DTH person assures to provide Xtream box, and hand over some other device, The installation person is not reachable and never attends, The support person asks to pay for his visit. Had very good service from Hathway, but believing Airtel was such a blunder that now am planning to move out from Airtel for my mobile service

    Airtel is worst network ever seen, don't value the people and also there is no way to contact the helpdesk for any queries or any complaints. Network will suddenly gone and speed also not good. Internet charge also expensive compare to JIO and also less speed.

    Sales Executive Mr. ** of Belapur sector 15, Airtel showroom came our canteen and informed us airtel black package has last day offer on August 7th 2021 with 1 month free rental. Trusting as he represents a brand we agreed. After 1 month we received bill. On following up it's informed to us that no such free package is applicable. The Airtel store manager Madam and Dinanath says if company says so we can't help and threatened by us not to call them instead speak to customer service and email to appellate.upwest@in.airtel.com, appellate.west@in.airtel.com, etc but no response to emails. It's cheating msme organisations which are already affected due to civil.

    I had a issue with Airtel fast tag missing recharge, I went to this airtel store in Varthur - Bangalore and given a complaint, It's been close to 30 days and I visited to store multiple times and talked to a person called Vicky (seems to be store manager), every time he tells me a same story that he didn't get the response from

    the other team. I really wonder what the other team is doing?? And why this person is not following up on my case? How many times I need to come to this store to listen the same? And Airtel is giving advertisement of making complaint count Zero?? First you have to focus on better customer experience and try to solve existing complaint in a better way. Very poor response from this store and would never recommend any transactions with Airtel, and because of this person (vicky) this store deserves Zero or negative rating.

    Being an customer of airtel, I want to share my some of the issues facing with this network.

    1. There is no hassle free customer care service.
    2. India No.4G network - I live in Bangalore NCR, facing an respectively facing an issue with network always.
    3. I want to know how Ads were been playing without any buffering. Whereas playing of videos will always Buffer.

    4. Price - Comparing the price with Leading competitor JIO, which is less.

    Overall I feel by comparing the network of airtel 4G is 2 out of 10.

    Airtel prepaid is the worst prepaid cell phone provider company. They are fraudsters and take money from customer. Airtel Thanks App is the worst, most inefficient, weak and worthless App the company has ever created. Prepaid payments fail when you recharge through Airtel Thanks App but the money was deducted from my account.

    For some reason best known to them, the money did not reach Airtel. I had to recharge again through their website. Prepaid customer care told me Airtel will refund the extra amount within 10 working days. It's been more than 1 month and I have to keep calling them for an update. Every time I call they just raise a new complaint and say that we will process your refund.

    Suddenly on my 100th call to them, they tell me that I need to visit an Airtel prepaid store nearby and store guys will help me. Lackadaisical and worst customer service, they just want to take money from their customers and don't give a damn about customer. Customer care people tell different things every time and they themselves are not in sync. like if they are working for different companies. They don't even listen to you completely and cut the phone abruptly!!! Very rude, uneducated bunch of nincompoops!!! FRAUD, CHEAT COMPANY!!!! AIRTEL'S LICENSE SHOULD BE REVOKED AND THEY SHOULD BE BANNED IN INDIA!!!

    I ported my BSNL sim to Airtel back in 2018 as I required high speed internet for my DLP. Back then airtel was quite good but then this year around Feb I started having connectivity and stability issues with the network. I called numerous times to customer care but they always had an answer ready to anything I said. Then once the executive said that there must be some problem in my device or the sim either should be changed but as I had bought a new device in August 2019. I thought of changing the sim but for safety measures I had my device checked at the service centre where they they told me that my device was ok, changing the sim helped me and I started getting the connection like before so I bought one more airtel sim seeing the network was quiet strong in my area. But again since august I started facing the same issue as before.

    I am not saying I wasn't consuming my data. I was using 60 to 70% of my daily data but the stability was not there like in my dlp classes. I couldn't hear the sound of the teacher. If the video wasn't available my voice was not audible to them. I called a numerous times to customer care but instead of listening to my complaint they use to start their own story that "How can you say that the net is not working? You have used 90% of your data and you are saying that net is not working," and all that kind of stuff so I had to change my sim back to bsnl. I had to say my bsnl sim is 2g and my airtel sim was 4g but since I ported back I never had a single issue with my dlp class. Video runs smoothly. Audio also doesn't break so basically the conclusion is that airtel 4g is terrible than bsnl 2g.

    Also the other sim that I bought of airtel is also experiencing the same problem. I registered a complaint in Sept. They said that they will solve the issue till 30 sept. The issue wasn't solved so I called on 1st October. Again they said that I'll have to wait till 30th oct for the issue to get solved so basically I sum it up by saying that airtel is the worst of all networks in the country with a moderate downloading speed, bad uploading speed and the worst ping ms (stability).

    Airtel is a Big Fraud. It can only spend money on advertisement rather than providing services to their customers. NO SIGNAL, NO CALLING ONLY PAY HUGE AMOUNT. AIRTEL should Advertise themselves by giving only 1 slogan. PAY HUGE AMOUNT AND YOU GET NOTHING. One is paying huge amount for his calling and data Packs but one can hardly call anyone or use his 1kb data pack out of 2 GB because of NO NETWORK. Worse company executives try to make people foolish by saying no issue sir. Within 8 months one can be able to use his data packs and will not sure but may be able to call someone because we have processed your request of poor signals to higher authorities and soon you will be getting connected. But unfortunately waiting for the same. Please people. It's a Humble request. Please please please don't ever take Airtel. It's a Big Fraud. VERY BAD SERVICES NO SIGNAL. NO MEANS A BIG NOOO.

    If you are thinking like airtel says they follow your complaints and care about you then sadly the answer is no a BIG NO. I have recharged my mobile several times looking at offers like cashback but once done you have no one to talk to about where your offers rewards left or vanished. Airtel customer care is only trained to say SORRY for the inconvenience and "How may I help you". Both of which are not meant anyways. So if you see cashbacks, rewards saying free subscription to Prime, Zee5 or FASTag cashback then zero my friends. Zero is what you get and their email guys are full dumb people never come back with any answers, hardly answer your email.

    The Company had recently changed the recharge policies as per TRAI in India - but its technical support team was not geared to take up the change instantly resulting in users losing their balance on the sim card. Generally if there was balance on the sim card, its connectivity was auto renewed by the minimum recharge of Rs. 23. After the recent change in the recharge rates, the system did not function properly and resulted that the users were told to do a recharge even though there was a balance in the sim card. I have tried to reach them by customer service and emails, but they were unable to provide resolution and any technical support. I thus stopped using my 2 sim cards due to this un-cooperative support from AIRTEL. It is today trying to claim as number one internet service provider but I would say after the takeover of Tata Docomo subscribers - it was unable to provide proper customer services and just trapped the innocent subscribers

    I travelled to Tadoba, in Maharashtra between 28th of Feb and 2nd March 2020. During this period, there was no signal at all on the Airtel sim, while others who were using Jio, had full signal. This happens every time I travel to a remote location. There is no way to lodge a complaint on My Airtel App. The funny thing is I logged in with somebody's Jio Wi-Fi to check on Airtel signal and the app says disconnect WiFi and try. If I disconnect WiFi what is it that they will see when there is no trace of signal? And they talk about open network? Bull crap!
