I called up Airtel customer care at 121, an executive guided me the process of conversion from postpaid to prepaid.
Then I went to an Airtel Store for the same.

The store people told me that they don't have the application form for getting my no. conerted to prepaid in Jharkhand as my postpaid no. is of Andhra Pradesh. And to my surprise, they even told me if I want to keep using this no. I should take the cheapest plan and keep paying my bills.

I called up customer care no. who told me the same process of conversion to prepaid again as told earlier by them.

Next day, I get a call from customer care telling me a different process for conversion. They gave a call back only because I gave them a poor rating.

Moreover, they expect me to pick up their call as many a times as they call me up during the day.

They have wasted a lot of my time and energy on this simple task.

I asked them to provide a solution in email.

I got an email which says to send an sms to 1900 with PORT (Mobile No.)

I followed this step too. Now the company needs to give me UPC according to the mail so that I can go ahead with the process of conversion from postpaid to prepaid.
I have not received UPC yet.

Please provide solution asap as I don't want to pay my postpaid bills without any reason and convert to prepaid as soon as possible.

Please provide a solution to my problem.
The company is using the policy of ' Let the buyer be aware' which is quite shameful and a big spot on such a big company.

Thanks to Jio fir providing great services at such a good and economical price.

          This is kasi Visweswar rao from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. For the past 24 days i am continuously follow-up with customer care and Airtel store at dabagarden, visakhapatnam to resolve the no signal issue but all my edforts became futile.

          The mobile no is [protected]. Actually the said no was not in use for many days. The main reason is we have misplaced our tab, however recently we got the same. Than we have recharged rs.399/- and got confirmation message. After that we are used for 3 days without any problem. All of sudden there is no signals since than we are continuously approaching your customer care and dabagarden store at vizakhapatnam. We have also submitted photo, aadar proofs at store . This is very ridiculous for the past 24 days the issue was not resolved despite continuous follow up. Very unethical and injustice keeping the customer in dark. What about my money i.e., rs.399/- which I have recharged through on line for one month. Almost the month is ending without use. Please let me know if Airtel want to loot / forefit my money without providing service. Awaiting for your reply for further course of action.

              I have been airtel telephone user since 12 years. Problem started after conversion from prepaid to postpaid.
              1. Team chased me and converted to postpaid.
              2. Then they updated my name in their records incorrectly and started asking for documents for correction for their fault.
              3. Airtel gave basic plan for my postpaid connection and started charging double the price.
              4. Since i wasn't happy with their services. Team is intelligent and deliberately not willing to move back my number to prepaid.

              Ist time when i visited their office in krishna nagar, yousufguda they asked me to clear the bill first. I was willing to pay but team said their server is not available and to come again as they were not sure.

              On second day team said they will not accept any requests after 4pm and asked me to come again.

              On third day team said they can only take request once bill is generated but my bill was already generated. Team asked me to come again.

              Again went for the fourth time where team has rejected request stating they don't digital system in place for aadhar updation and need to get xerox copy of aadhar card.

              So went for fifth time and team has rejected my request stating today is saturday and non of team are working.

              I'm not sure how many customers like me are facing this problem. But this is causing lot inconvenience and mental agony.

              Its the worst kind of services they are offering.

              Customer can be senior citizens and for employees working in odd shift for 12 or 14 hrs it very difficult to manage this much time for one simple request.

                I have been using airtel since 10 years and everything was working fine for me. From last few months, there is really poor network and have complained about the same.

                Suddenly network has been stopped since yesterday for my postpaid connection. I've contacted airtel store and they provided a new sim stating that the old sim might be damaged. Still the new sim isn't activated and this is really annoying.

                      There is no proper network in my area (Pin: 530046- satavahana nagar). If the network is available by any chance, i'm hardly getting 2g signal which is of no use to browse my business mailbox. I have already raised a complaint regarding this issue in early august 2017, and i was told that the network will be upgraded to 4g by end of august and they guaranteed that my issue will be resolved which was actually not. But this issue here is more of network than internet. So please treat this as priority and get this issue fixed asap.

                        I am a airtel postpaid customer for 2 months.
                        And need to covert to prepaid but when i went to store they said minimum time for conversion is 5 months, that is till 5 months i have to use in postpaid, but my usage is very less and i have to pay minimum rs.230 per month. This is waste of my money, is there such a rule?. If there it should be changes. A customer should have the right to change from prepaid to postpaid and postpaid to prepaid at any time without any specific time limit to stay in one service like postpaid or prepaid.

                            May this massage reach airtel india any way.

                            I am holding airtel mobile connection no [protected] for last months. I am in nashik (Maharastra) which is a city of population more than 250 thousand. I am not getting range in mid of the town, neither for data, nor for voice. However my another airtel connection is performing pretty well.

                            I made complaint for about 8 times at your customer care number. Every time the executive and senior executive on duty assured me to resolved the problem, but not resolved till moment. (9 am on 25.11.2017). No representative from airtel had courtesy to call me about the resolution of my problem. I spent rs 399/- for this connection and could not get uninterrupted service even for a day.

                            After couple of weeks, i will throw this sim and start campaigning door to door and on social websites against airtel, the worst service providers of this country.

                            Regards

                                  My Rcom number is[protected] – from Chennai.

                                  Right now, I am in Akola, Maharashtra.

                                  For the past three weeks, I am struggling to port my Rcom number into Airtel.

                                  During the first week of November 2017 –

                                  I went to Akola city Airtel office and gave my Aadhar, local address, local contact person and mobile number. And the Airtel staff said they will do the port and and gave me a new Airtel Sim card immediately and asked me wait for one week for activation.

                                  One week later, on 15-Nov- 2017, I was told authentication failure and port request rejected, the Airtel staff took the details again and gave me again a new Airtel Sim card and asked me wait another one week.

                                  Today is 25-Nov-2017, the port request is still not resolved.

                                  Hope, some body helps to resolve the issue soon.

                                  Regards.

                                    There is no network connection on my airtel number [protected] for last 48 hours and airtel team says it will take 48 hours more
                                    Answer my two points
                                    1) when somebody calls my number it says incoming at the dialled number is barred as if i am a defaulter.. I have faced huge image loss and i want airtel to bear the same.
                                    2) why it is taking 4 days to start the number. My work is getting affected, my image is at stake
                                    Who will be responsible for my business loss and image loss.

                                    Do revert in time

                                      Airtel are providing worst service i couldn’t imagine they are taking 10 days to activate a sim and yet it hasn’t got activated upset with it other networks take hardly an hour to activate. Never go to srinagar airtel service center they are worst service provider i hope bharathi airtel is providing worst service i wished i had other connection this problem wouldn’t have araised
