While I understand that there may be isolated cases, I feel almost compelled to say mention here that Airtel is by far the best telecom company in India. I have been with Airtel from the past 2 and a half years and cannot think of a single instance where I was dissatisfied with them.

Call 9892098920 from a landline. And if they don't behave. Then go to a nearby Airtel service centre and start shouting. Take some friends with you.

1. If postpaid, GPRS rental will be charged in the bill.
2. prepaid, balance will not be debited if GPRS is activated. has to be make recharge of 102 [nop] and 498 [mobile office] before the validity get expired.
3. But [this is most important], if Airtel Live is activated and you are accessing all web sites, balance will be get deducted. e.g. if surfing has made with low balance, it will be get deducted at time of next recharge. [hello tune is the another example]

My portal has been upgrated and whole layout has been also changed but lacking of few things which was previousy there. you need to re-register your number for accessing "my airtel".

Yeah even I'm an Airtel gprs user and know it can be a pain in the you-know-where sometimes. But still it offers the best gprs of all the service providers at the best price (atleast here in Mumbai). Plus network strength, coverage and call quality totally rocks, thats why I'm sticking with it.

If you consider the price, then Airtel may be best. But if you look at efficiency, Vodafone is better if we consider GSM operators

Isnt the portal same for all the users? I mean if u can login, why am i not able to login? On entering the username and password, i get a page which displays Bharti Airtel Secure Domain Error #38cf04d7 :( Besides i am unable to send pic msgs on national level. Even though i have an Airtel tower in front of my premises, my phone displays the tower which is 3kms away* These are some of the problems faced by me.

*Changing the phone(s) didnt help. And Airtel is reluctant to change the SIM too :(

I had some problem too last time . . I recharged with 498 and got the msg Recharge successful . . Then wen i asked for activation cc told tilt i had not recharged at all . . And i lost the money . . And now i am using Nop 104 . . Cant lose more money . . And worst thing was wen i complained at ties service center they said we wont handle any prepaid customers . .

Send an email to their customer care and give full details... Sometimes, when communication over phone fails, you get reply over email a little bit better. (speaking from actual experience)

Talk to them and explain the complete thing, you should get your money back.

So far my experience with Airtel is very good. Have mostly been with Airtel since going mobile.

Don't shout at them. It never works. Rather put it this way, saying that I compromised on using it for 1 extra month since I was already charged for that month but I am now thinking otherwise.
