[Resolved]  Airtel — Airtel Number denied recharge of any value

Address:Sambalpur, Odisha, 768001
Website:airtel.in

I did not receive a single call from Airtel. And my number is always active as it is my primary number. My issue is not resolved by any means, but I had found out a workaround by topping my Airtel App wallet and recharging from wallet balance.
Unfortunately, that too stopped from today onwards. Now I have no means to recharge my Airtel number, neither online nor via wallet, and it is a huge shame for a company that claims to be the biggest operator in India. Please contact me asap at and resolve my issue at earliest. Otherwise I'll be forced to port my number to some other operator as soon as my 90 day period ends on July 9th this week because a number which cannot be recharged with any balance or data pack is franky useless. Using this sim is like driving a car without fuel and is causing me huge inconvenience.

Complaint marked as Resolved 
Nearly 2 weeks after lodging the complaint, it has been finally resolved. I can now recharge my Airtel number via My Airtel app, although I still have to check if a direct online recharge works or not.
Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

I just found out that my number has not been successfully ported from Docomo (Haryana), which I had applied in April 2017. The customer care guy told me that although my number has been put up in the Airtel database, it still says Tata Docomo Haryana when he checked the number. This is a major problem now, for it has put my number in the middle; neither Docomo neither Airtel. Please resolve my complaint at earliest, for an error of such magnitude is completely unacceptable. I can take calls, my number shows up as Airtel, but in the Orissa circle it says Docomo. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Please call me at [protected] anytime between 8 am - 2 pm and 7 pm - 10 pm. I'll add that I've already raised a complaint via Twitter too in addition to this one. I'm usually busy between 2 pm and 7 pm and this results in me not taking calls unless I know of the numbers.
