Hi,

I ported from Vodafone to Airtel. My number was supposed to be activated by 11/11/2017 23:30. I registered a complaint several times with customer care as well as the Airtel Store. Each time i call in, they ask me to wait for 24 hours and it has been 4 days. I am unable to use 4 G services on my phone ( Redmi Note 4, 4 G enabled). Please resolve the issue by tomorrow morning or stop the number and refund my security money.I have spoken to all the departments.

Regards,
Vikram Chakraborty

    I, sunita saxena has a postpaid no.-[protected]. I had cleared all my bills till aug. 2017. After that, due to high bills, i had asked my nearest airtel store to convert my sim from postpaid to prepaid. They told me to wait for return call from airtel. But nobody called and when i went back to airtel store, no one listened to my request. Then i complained on airtel website but there was no response. I have been requesting since 2 months but no one has listened. Now they have sent a bill of rs. 2729 though you have already stopped incoming and outgoing services on my no. Since 24th oct 2017. I would like airtel to waive my bill amount and convert our sim to prepaid.

        On the 12th on dec (2017) airtel stopped service to my sim for no apparent reason. When i visited airtel office at 8th mile t dasarahalli bangalore, i was asked if i have adhaar card. I informed my adhaar card has not arrived yet and no number yet. Also it was not mandatory (Yet) to update adhaar. Rep goes on to state i need to submit address and id proof. I do that and without any explanation whatsoever rep goes on give ma a new sim card pack. Says i need to pay rs25. Says it is because duplicate sim had to be issued.
        My service was deactivated for no reason, and i had to pay for it.
        I was told sim will be activated in 5 hours. But took a day or more. After that i am unable to send smss.
        All airtel customer care numbers 121, 198, [protected] etc lead to same ivr with no way to get to speak to a person to sort this out. Customer care for pre paid customers is non existent. I want to sue airtel!

            As per the income tax rules we are deducting tds from the monthly usage amount and paying the net amount to airtel,. Till date there is no pending amount. For the last 7 quarters we have paid tds amount of rs.44043 /= which they have not updated in their records. Even after submission of tds certificates airtel is debarring our lines regularly. We are suffering and struggling for nearly 2 years. No dutiful, sincere & responsible person is with airtel to redress our grievance. There are 100s of mails, telereminders, innumerable complaints

            We have exhausted our patience. We need not suffer for their inefficiency and mismanagement. Please redress our grievances

                Hi sir/madam,

                I am unable to make std call from karnataka since a month and it’s not installed even today. I have raised many tickets but nothing has been addressed so far. Whenever i call an std mobile number with +91, i get a voice saying "std and isd facilities are not available on your mobile number, please contact...".

                But it works in the below scenarios:

                1. Outside karnataka [andhra pradesh] with +91
                2. Inside karnataka but without +91.

                I have tried all the possible ways as below advised by airtel cc, but no luck. And just leftover with hands full of tickets, that are on hold, active.

                1. Restarting phone
                2. Enabling std/isd – cc verified it as well
                3. Sim replacement
                4. Plan change
                5. Tried the sim in another mobile.

                I remember all this happened when i have tried to change the plan from mobile app and could see still the freebies and booster change are still in progress since october 2017 in the transaction history section of the app.

                Please help me advising on this issue and try to resolve it asap. Am very tired following up this issue with cc and fed up updating every

                            I port my number vodafone to airtel services last month.
                            While porting number executive commited for 349/- plan but the plan applied is 399/-, i have screenshot of conversation which i m attaching for your reference, the number from which i received call is [protected].
                            I went to airtel gallery for solution but they said 349/- is postpaid plan, there is no such prepaid plan available in prepaid,
                            That means i received fake information from airtel team, and now the number is not reachable, why should i pay 399/- if i choose plan 349/-
                            I sent mail to airtel [protected]@in. Airtel.com email id but no reply received yet

                            I am seriously irritated with the airtel network.

                              Hi, this is to inform you that the customer care executive are not providing proper information as when i asked about why my plan has not expired and i was not knowing about this so i recharged with a new plan, may be the info was correct but the way she handled my call was not correct, she was saying ("aapne kyun kiya, yahape call kyun nahi kiya") and said m transferring your call to the supervisor, this is not the way to talk with your customer, i am your customer from the last 2-3 years, and only because of your service and the trust i have on airtel. But the way these people handle your customers, it ll not retain them. Instead, it's a reason for port out. And i do have the call recordings, hope you will look into this.

                                    From past 2 weeks i am getting message that modelmaniaw service has been activated & rs 35 is getting deducted weekly. Till today 2 deductions have already happened, on 2nd nov-rs 35 & on 9th nov-rs 35 deducted. I have not requested for any such service & kindly stop it immediately including refund (Rs 70). Already i have checked this forum and this has happened to many other customers too. So this is unfair play and harassment by airtel which should stop. I have already raised complain reference number pr[protected] and waiting to see the action from their side.
