This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I purchased a new airtel connection postpaid in nov 06 particularly for gprs mobile internet. From day one till date (06 feb 07), I am unable to connect to gprs as normally as my colleagues do. I don't know if it is a problem with sim or network. I had filed 5 complaints against the same in airtel 121, but no response. I had visited airtel outlet number of times but no improvements. They have simply looted my money in the name of monthly rent.

Dont go for airtel!

Airtel offers very bad service. No customer care support. They always ask for sending SMS on 121. But it fails all the time. Airtel really sucks! Best to go for Tikona if available.

My personal experience: Airtel Sucks and have a problem of bad smell...

Technical Manpower is filled with ###s and Idiots. Customer executives are a joke thier Nodal Officer is one of the biggest joker around.

Need I say anything about thier complaints section...?

BSNL/ Vodafone is any day better

m the regular user of AIRTEL. i m using GPRS through AIRTEL. i m also paying Rs.250/month for GPRS. For the last 15 days GPRS is not functioning in my Network Areabcz on the renewal date i wasnt hd sufficent balance in ma phone. I had called customer care so many times but no solution has yet provided by them. Now Airtel stopped listening & suggesting to send SMS. i called to customer care about this they people guide me in wrong way firstly they told me if i am 6 six months old customer only then i can avail service of rs. 250 but now they people are nort listening me abt this Airtel provide very bad service!

Hi

I am using airtel service quiet for some one year. I changed my service from aircel to airtel for the booster and recharge offer. But now the airtel service is money minded. they changed the ten paisa Airtel to airtel mobile from 65 then to 97 rupees, now suddenly to 145 rupees. Hope if this service continue like this, they will lose so many customers.Think in better way which nominal to customers.
regards
vani srinivasan

I'm also facing the same problem as Amrish with Airtel MO.
[Goa region]

It's happening from the last Saturday( Nov 8), that whenever I make a connection the data transfer just stops after some 2-3 minutes.
And then I've to reconnect it again.
My neighbor is also facing the same problem.

I tried calling their Customer Care, but none of the 'POLITE' jokers answer well!

Please, somebody look into this matter.

Thanks in advance.

I have been using Airtel since last two years. Earlier it was fine but since last 2 months i am totally irritated by network service which Airtel is providing. Recently I have activated it's GPRS service. and it's also meeting the same fate. It's as slow as a turtle. Not only downloading the browsing time taken is also very huge. Due to which i have waste a lot of time on browsing.
It's better to use BSNL brodband. If someone know's how to speed up the browsing on Airtel GPRS please tell me. my e-mail address is vivekrugrats@rediff.com. presently i am getting 460.8kbps speed.

Can anybody recommend me a prepaid card which have better speed. I am visiting Goa and intended to buy an Airtel prepaid SIM card and activate GPRS for internet connection with my laptop. Does anybody know if Idea will be any better? Vodafone is not an option for visitors as only on a postpaid basis. Can anybody help me finding a mobile phone provider with GPRS service South Goa (Varca, Fatrade, Cavelossim). Thanks in advance and greetings from Switzerland
