I was using the number [protected] for sever years. But from a few monyhs it was nit in use and my no. Has been deactivated. This number has been regsitered in ssc for job. The commision will send otp on this number so it is essential to get the number active. There is not any provision to get the otp on other number. So it is my sincere request to you to reactivate my number. Or suggest the way to get the acyivated the same.

    1. मोबाइल नंबर [protected] mts से ported in हुआ है फलतः कुछ अपेक्षाए रखता है!

    2. उक्त नंबर पर दिनांक 28 september को 22:53 पर नोटिफिकेशन प्राप्त हुआ कि 399/- के recharge पर 84gb, 84 दिन unlimited voice call मिलेगा फलतः दिनांक 29 september को प्रातः 6 बजे 399/- का recharge किया गया फलतः 84 दिन 84 gb मिलने का sms प्राप्त नहीं हुआ है!

    3. अतः मोबाइल नंबर [protected] पर प्राप्त 84 दिन unlimited calling, 84 gb डाटा नोटिफिकेशन अनुसार लाभो का विवरण उपलब्ध करवाने का श्रम करे!

    Despite resolution I recieved a call from [protected] and [protected] asking debit card number which seems to be fake.

    As such why should not register officially complaint against the fake callers as well as against airtel company

      Dear team,

      Yesterday (26.09.2017) i bought new 4g volte intex brand mobile. I put my airtel sim in it. And i received a message from airtel it tells daily 1gb 4g data with unlimited any network calling with validity of 84 days. So i surprised and done a recharge immediatly. But after the recharge it shows only 28 days???

          I have purchased an airtel prepaid sim with frc of 449. The plan goes like this 1gb of data per day for 3 months and unlimited calls. And it applies only for 4g handsets, i got that sim for my one plus 3 and inserted in ipad mini 2 for a week first 2 days it worked properly and then i didn't get network access for a week later on i called to customer care people and asked why am not getting the internet access, he said your device is not a 4g handset and the offer is not applicable for that.
          I had a question for him when all the 4g sim cards works in the device why not airtel, there was no answer from his side and he concluded with saying this offer is not applicable for 3g handsets.
          Then i changed sim card to mi note 3 it worked well and then to some nokia basic mobile and then to mi note4, i have changed the sim to 4 devices, my plan was working good and yesterday 27/9/17 changed sim to ipad mini temporarily and today when i took back and inserted in my one plus 3. There was no interest access in my device when i called them they said the plan is cancelled as i have changed the device. And replaced sim into non 4g handset that is ipad mini. When i asked them that i did the same thing last month nothing has happened and when i called your representative they didn't say anything as such for that they said no sir you haven't changed the sim earlier... Yesterday it got updated so your plan got cancelled. My question to them was why it didn't get cancelled earlier when changed to other devices and why now... They don't have the records that i have changed my sim to other devices... If you loose your mobile or sim card how can we trust airtel people for tracking our device... If they don't get proper data in their servers then if the thief is using airtel sim in our device then how can we get the details... They are unfit to run a telecom services and they are careless about customers problems he is telling like sir you should be happy for using benefits for free... He is not at all ready to agree his mistake

                    I have registered a complaint on 10th august, 2017 regarding network issue, complaint no. 78521280. Till now i didn't receive a call regarding the progress and everytime i call you, the airtel customer reprensentative says i have to wait and they can't assure the time to resolve it and also told me that it will take approx. 6 - 8 months.

                    When i decided to port the number to idea, they called me and told to wait for 4 days, i decided to do so and waited for 15 days but it was not solved. Again i decided to port to idea and they again called me and told to wait for 4 days, today is the 10th day but it has not been solved.

                    I can't make calls from my home, everytime i have to go to my flat terrace to attend or make calls. They are such irresponsible. And when i told them that i can't use my data pack due to network issue and to reduce my bill, they told me that network issue will be solved in few months but have to pay bill everymonth in a rude way.

                    I have the recording of all the calls i have made to the service centre.

                      I have been trying to deactivate my auto renewal data plan of rs. 179 for the last 2 days by dialing ussd code, "*121*12#" and requesting for to deactivate pre-booked pans. But all the time it shows, "sorry we are unable to process your request at the moment. Please try after some time."
                      What the # is this?? First, i never wanted to opt for auto renewal but you cannot choose the pack without auto renewal and secondly when you want to deactivate the auto renewal, the service doesn't work... #ing airtel trying to loot all o[censored]s... Die airtel... Die you #!!

                      My airtel number [protected]. These guys are so cheap that i subscribed for a 3 day data pack but this pack was on auto renewal.Now this pack is auto activating on my phone sonce last 4 times and i am unable to stop it.There is no option to do so..
                      I am going to complain to TRAI and take legal action.they have made a mockery of customer service.
                      Guys please please take any other network but not airtel they are blood suckers.

                        I have linked my aadhar details with airtel about three months ago. My indane gas subsidy amount was not getting credited to my bank account. When i enquired, i have been told by the gas agency that my subsidy amount is being credited to airtel account. I went to the airtel customer service center where i have linked my aadhar and i have been told by the staff that it is happening not only with me but few other customers. I was shocked when i was told that it is the company's policy to swindle away the gas subsidy so that they can give talk time to the respective number. I wish to bring to the notice of the concerned at airtel that it is a cyber crime to swindle away the amount without the consent and information sharing to the customer. I request airtel to immediately reimburse the amounts that have been swindled away thrice from my gas subsidy account. It seems that airtel is sticking to unlawful practices to increase their revenue instead of doing the right things. I, with good intention, wish to get my reimbursement within 48 hrs, post which i would take this issue to the cyber crime department, uaida and the central government. This also amounts to misuse of confidential information of customers to manipulate and steal away thier money.

                          As i have upgrade my airtel 3g sim to 4g sim. I have inserted in my new mobile gionee a1 and i have recharged with the plan of 244. But, its get very slow internet connection in main area and full tower in my mobile.

                          Previously i have used other networks (I don't want to mention that network). While comparing to your network the downloading speed is 3kb very very slow.

                          I try to contact your customer care but totally wasted my time to reach you.

                          It creates bad opinion about service. I am using your product upto 12 years but very worst response in your side.

                              I have made an international call to australia and airtel has charged a whopping rs 180 per minute and the actual rate was rs13 per minute. My bill came to rs4220, i have repeatedly called them for 10days and they have promised many times that the bill be be corrected but they didn't do anything and finally charged my bank account with the ecs payment of rs 4220, i lost trust with this operator, every person i talk to tells a cooked up story and no clear action taken

                                Dear sir/madam,

                                My self mr. Ulhas vichare. I have taken new 4g sim card from your
                                Andheri (E) airtel gallery, person over their gave me the card & told
                                Me that my 3g sim will be deactivate & 4g sim will get active in next
                                4 hours.

                                Its been almost 24 hours & my 4g sim is not active yet. My sms,
                                Internet service is not working due to the non supportable 3g sim.

                                I have been calling airtel customer care since last 2 days (My earlier
                                4g sim was not getting activated since tuesday). But, i failed to get
                                Any proper assistance from your team.

                                Just while ago i spoke with mr. Mohammad sharif pasha, who is
                                Supposedly senior of your one of the team. He was rude & mannerless
                                While conversation. Instead of giving me solution he irritated me with
                                Stupid questions & his low voice.

                                I sincerely need a quick solution to my problem. As my net is not
                                Working, my sms service is blocked & there are so many synchronisation
                                Issues i am facing.

                                Please activate my 4g sim, asap.

                                In anticipation of help.

                                Thanks & regards,

                                  Hi,

                                  I am using airtel prepaid services, recently i have recharged the plan of 399rs which is gives me unlimited calls and 1gb data per day for 70days.

                                  From the day one the data speed is worst than 2g speed, i did complain customer care, they have mentioned, network issue in your area, will be rectified shortly, and also recommend to change the sim as well, which i did,

                                  However, the network issue still presents, and when i complain again, they says it's network issue we can't do anything, when ask for refund of the amount, they denied to refund.

                                  Hence i wanted to bring to your attention, about the issue.

                                  Thank you.

                                    I have recharged my airtel mobile no. Using airtel payment bank, and as the offers available i am availing 50% cashback (Max. Rs.75) of the recharged amount.
