    I have taken a pre paid airtel sim card in hyderabad, india recently and brought to dubai. I am working in dubai and it is always an issue whenever i visit to india. The newly purchased sim is not working and says no service where as i was told it will be operational in all countries. Not sure what is the issue and it has sufficient balance and data package.

    Appreciate if we can get my sim card working here in dubai.

          I am trying to deactivate the above post paid sim 4g data for the past two months. There is no option with 121, 198 or through loging in to my account. Airtel having started this exploitation of its individual clients, others will follow soon. I want to immediately cancel this service; don't mind to give up the balance data available in my account, but wish to get out of this menace once for all.

            I used most of the network and i think airtel is most fraud for cheating people. My intention is not blaming but i faced such things.
            I recharged 349 unlimited pack in airtel application. After that its not working now because i am in roaming. The plan didn't specify such details when i recharged, only give the details o[censored]nlimited plan.
            After that i called to costumer care but they don't take any responsibility and said that all network have that same policy that plan not working at roaming (But its wrong because other network like jio plan working well). So my rs 349 was wasted. So i thing airtel network is the fraudest network above all networks.

                    Dear sir/madam,

                    With reference of the trail mail on the subject "need clarification on sudden hike on billing amount" inform you the bill for the month of september has been generated and the amount is rs.371.38 (Un-billed amount was showing rs.10000+) hence i would like to pay the last bill amount and would like to stop the service permanently because when i wanted to move from post paid to prepaid since that day (19th september 2017) my un billed amount was showing very high intentionally always. This time also the same situation has been created where my bill has been generated on 13th oct with rs.371.38 but next day my un billed amount is showing rs.5000+ which is completely intentionally once again because if i will go for surrender the sim then i would be bound to pay the unbilled amount where i have used it at all.

                    Therefore i will pay the last month bill amount only and stop using the sim immediately after paying. After paying my bill amount if i would unable to surrender the sim then i have to take help with legal procedure. And will not pay any further bill.

                    So i am expecting a positive feedback from your end.

                    Regards,
                    Prithwish banerjee

                      Since yesterday i'm trying to send the port message as i want to opt out from airtel, but everytime the error comes as "unable to send the message". No issue is there with my cellphone as i have tried to send the message even from another cellphone. My sim is also perfect as i can send other messages but only message sent to 1900 has been blocked by airtel. I have tried contacting them over telephone and through mail but still no response. My no. Is [protected].

                        Hello
                        I have been facing problems with airtel since may/june of this year. Earlier, most of the time i couldn't hear what the other person was saying. I wemt to the service center and they changed my sim twice. Still i was facing the problem until last month. Now, from september 10 or something another issue started, the internet stopped working. I went to the customer service center, called them, but still my problem didnt resolve. The lady at the service center asked me to wait for few days as there was some network issue with airtel. I waited. On sept 26th i called the service center and told them that i have to switch on and then switch it off again and again to use the internet, and this i have to do in every two minutes. Now imagine how frustrating that is. I called them again on 4th of october and they told me that someone from their network team will call me. They did, twice, but i was busy both of the times so i asked them to call me later. I then gave a a missed call on 515 as i was instructed from the message i got, and i have been doing it simce 7th of october. I got a call from the technical team few minutes back and i told them that you guys are callimg very late you all should have called me earlier, after saying this he cut on me without even solving my problem.

                        I got a call for the call drop issue which I was facing in august. No call from ypu guys about the 4g issue I am facing. Notifying and taking action are two different things.

                          I did a full talk time recharge of rs100 on 14th october. However, immediately after the recharge i got following two smses :
                          'thanks for choosing comedywalas on your airtel mobile. You have been charged rs75.0 for 15days. A/c balance: rs25 at 22:09. To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223'
                          'thanks for choosing nexgtv on your airtel mobile. You have been charged rs20.0 for 5days. A/c balance: rs5 at 22:33. To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223'
                          So airtel deducted rs95 for services i did not choose. Just now i have received another message which has taken away the remaining rs.5:
                          'thanks for choosing silkvideo on your airtel mobile. You have been charged rs5.0 for 1days. A/c balance: rs0 at 12:23. To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223'
                          It is very frustrating. I have never chosen these services. Please refund the rs100

                            I lost my phone and got a duplicate sim after blocking my lost sim. It has been more than 24 hours and my sim card is still not activated. The prepaid customer care service executive told me that they didn't receive the request from the airtel center whereas the airtel center exec told me to wait and it would get activated within 24 hours. What the hell? Without my sim card i am unable to perform a lot of my usual activities from calling and messaging to money transfer. This is extremely irresponsible and it has left me very dissatisfied with the airtel service or in fact the lack of service.

But the company sent message to recharge the connection. I request to punish the company for its cheating.

                                      I got a msg "Wrong HLR GOLD SIM, Please try again with correct HLR sim number" When i contacted customer care i was told to repeat the same procedure but to no avail. I had already contacted the customer care only after trying a few times. Customer care executive was inefficient and just kept on saying to try again...

                                        Airtel dth is not proving me any service on my complaints made regarding connection error b0001 issue and only keep giving escuse that some technician will come. They keep giving complaint number iike 66582557. They give fake information and lie all the time. I have called call center since 4th oct 2017 and have sent them many mails but they won't solve the issue. Since i am in warrenty period they are not able to extract money from me hence harrasing me this way.
