    Website: airtel.in

    I ported my number from Vodafone to Airtel postpaid and the network activation was supposed to happen on Saturday 17 September, at 10PM. I was told it would happen immediately and even their website states "There is no downtime during the day, and you continue using your existing number until the MNP process has been completed."

    I just need to restart my phone and activate new SIM by calling 59059. However, I have no network on my new SIM. Customer Care is saying it is activated, but there is still no network. They can't let me talk to a senior person, or a technical person who can help. I'm supposed to visit an Airtel store to resolve the issue but they said it's a Sunday holiday for AIrtel stores so I will have to wait another 24 hours.

    No network, no one to talk to, no one to visit. "We can't help you, just please wait." is what I am told.

          I made a payment by credit card for services on phone No [protected].
          I received an acknowledgement. The money is showing as received but the service is not activated. E mails are rejected saying e mail not registered, dialing customer care on 121 gets invalid number.
          No option to talk to a human is provided.
          Just give the run around by automated systems.

            I bought Fastag from Airtel in nov2020. On 4/9/2022 When I travel through car at toll Tax Barrier, Toll gate was not opened after few minutes, a man sitting inside cabin, open toll gate manually by feeding car number, due to this they deduct 150 rupees in place of Rs.135. Same day when i came back and passing through same Toll Tax barrier after 3-4 hours, same problem occurred, they practice they did to open Toll gate and deduct Rs.150 in place of Rs. 35 . I have raised complaint against this through mails (for ref.attachment ) or telephonic discussion with customer care executive but no action has taken by airtel team and not taking my issue seriously. Due to faulty Fastag i bear loss of around[protected] rupees, time and petrol loss also.

                  Dear Airtel provider,

                  I have prepaid Airtel in Maharashtra. I cannot send or receive SMS from international numbers (US, EU, etc). My overseas family checked with their service provider and they have no problem sending SMS to other numbers in India. When they send me an SMS, it does not work.

                    Airtel Customer Service is really bad, mistake I did was activated a pack of international Roaming, now their customer care doesn’t work outside India, and I’m not able to disable that service via app. It’s full loot from Airtel, hope someone is listening.

                      Im living in KSA and have been recharging and maintaining my mobile number ([protected]) properly as I use it for all home transactions. Now all of a sudden, the signal on my number is lost and cant receive any messages.

                      When emailed to their customer care, they ask me to call from same number (how is that eve possible!!!) and send from registered email address (which im doin it already!!!). I had even tried by sending my family member to airtel showroom to seek support. They go a step further by saying that this is due to TRAI guidelines!!!. This is so frustrating, why would a regulatory authority bock any number that is well registered under my ID and being maintained.

                      This automated BOT reply is so annoying and I couldn't reach for a solution. Because of this all my work is hindered and spoiled. Im facing monetary losses due to this unethical response.

                      Im looking for resolution in this subject and demanding my number to get restored!

                          I'm a student of IIT ISM Dhanbad, recently the network of Airtel has been degraded drastically. In a highly reputed central government College this shouldn't have happened. It is difficult to even use internet because of the drastic network. Hence being an Airtel consumer I request you to please look into this matter as soon as possible.

                                I tried activating my new sim after porting it by calling 59059, however, I am unable to do that as the number I called only gave information on offers. Can you please let me know what is the alternate method to activate my number?

                                  I recharged my airtel number with Rs.719 unlimited pack on 11th September 2022 but instead of queuing up the new recharge until the expiry of the existing valid recharge (ends on 12th Sept 2022), the new recharge was activated instantly on 11th Sept 2022 with validity extended only till 4th Dec 2022 instead of 6th Dec 2022, and thus affecting the overall validity and making me lose two days.

                                  I called customer care and the executive could not help with anything and repeated my complaint.

                                  Also mailed the concern to [protected]@in.airtel.com, but they are more concerned about email that I am using is not registered with them.

                                  This is plain cheating.
