    I have converted postpaid to prepaid and they gave new sim. My postpaid services got disconnected on 22nd, nov'17. I have inserted new sim and it always shows 'no service'. I went to airtel store 3 times since then. Every time they say my sim will get activated next day morning. Today, i got signals and i received a message to restart my phone. I have done so and again i am getting 'no sevice' on my phone again. My phone number is [protected]. If i am calling from other number on this number it is saying that this number is 'invalid'.

              I am srinivas alakanti recently converted my number [protected] from idea to airtel. Started using from 19th of november and within seven days they charged rs. 1400.

              Apart of that they barred my outgoing calls and asking me to pay rs. 1070 to start the outgoing calls.

              Since i am in rs.399 plan how they charged rs. 1400.

              Contacted customer care people several times they said vas are activated for that they charged rs. 1400.

              Without my confirmation they have activated automatically and i requested to stop three times and i got message that value added services are stopped.

              Still they charged rs. 1400 and customer care people not responding and asking me to pay rs. 1070.

              So please help me out to solve this issue.

              Thanks & regards,

                Dear sir/mam,
                I have requested a sr[protected] to shift my fixedline services to the same premises (Same hosue at different point).
                I have followed up many times to resolve the issue and got the same reply they will be addressing immediatly but no further action.
                I have waited almost a month and the issue is not resolved and the sr is closed without noticing me.
                Finaly i got frustrated as this has not been solved and had to go for disconnection.

                I would really want to take action on this. Please get back to us.

                  Hi

                  I was using an number with account no [protected] and i stopped usign this number from mar-17 and i have made about 8, 500/- to this number and now after 8-9 months i am getting message to pay due of [protected] else your services for number/relationship no [protected] will be stopped... So now my services for [protected] has been stopped and i asked your helpline what is the due now after 8-9 months you are reminding me.

                  So they told me ther were 4 bills were pending total amount jan-17 to apr-17 approx 16k so if you subtract 8, 500- payment from 16k (Approx) iit will be 8000 (Approx) due left toward me

                  Than why you airtel asking me to make payment of 13k something.

                  Now coming to your collection team fraud...in march they told me sir, you can make pyament of 8000 than you no need to pay anything as will provide you discount. And now you are backing out steps from statement given by your collection team. These collection team are not part of mine its part of your only than also i am backing out from your words... These were actully your words not your collection team words.

                  So i will pay bill and will file a case in consumer court will ask my advocate to do so today only and in whole life never recommand airtel to any one... And after paying will will port my number.

                  Your services and behavior is really disappointing and fraud. And why you can barred my services of [protected]... Anyways no issue will file consuemr court case and regarding the same will port out after making your this payment. Now you have backed out from your words...

                                Dear team,

                                This is about one transaction which got failed on november 20th, 2017 while i was trying to do a recharge of rupees 549 to my airtel number [protected].

                                Since the transaction got failed, i can expect that the recharge did not reflect to my number but the worst part was the fact that the money got debited from my sbi account as well.

                                Though i got the same recharge done on the same day via some third party vendor which was successful but still 549 rs. Have not been reflecting back in account which was initiated from my end and till today i have no information about the refund if it will be transferred back to my account or not.

                                So request you to kindly look into the issue and initiate the refund of the balance either in my airtel wallet or my sbi account number from where the transaction was initiated.

                                Hoping for a response.

                                Please let me know if any information is needed from my end.

                                Thank you.
                                Regards

                                Any update on the issue since it has been long that the issue has occurred and I have not got any response from any one.

                                I tried contacting the Airtel via mail id airtel.[protected]@airtel.com, Have got no response from their end as well.

                                So please let me know if any update is available regarding the issue.

                                Thank You.

                                  I recharged their 448 rs. Prepaid plan for my mother's number through paytm today at 9:13 pm.. It showed that payment has been done successfully. But she hasn't received any confirmation sms and no amount has been recharged.
                                  I have got an operator reference number in the invoice of paytm.
                                  It is[protected]. Since the complain registration is bit painful on ivr system and i live away from her, it has become a bit complicated process. Also there is nowhere mentioned on the website, how to register complains. Airtel please mend your ways and pay attention to your customers and their satisfaction.
                                  Her phone number is [protected].

                                    I have not been able to send sms from my airtel number for over a month now.
                                    After calling the service center multiple times on 27th nov between 8pm and 10:30 pm, all i got was incomplete and repetitive information.
                                    With the help of google i was able to find the steps to set the message service centre number but i get this error now : setting interrogation failed.
                                    The airtel "executives" have no solution and all i do is spend money on taking to customer care. Also, if i ask to talk to a supervisor, i am put on an indefinite hold.
                                    Apart from the inability of airtel to provide basic services like sms, having a incompetent customer care division who trick customers by putting their calls on hold and ignore them until they hang up by themselves is completely unacceptable.
                                    I am looking for an immediate resolution of my problem which is due to improper settings provided/made by airtel.
