Airtel Prepaid SIM name Mismatch

Suddenly, the SIM has stopped working for no apparent reason (SIM no.[protected]).

Voice special numbers

Airtel is charging a customer in the name of "voice special numbers" even when the customer has not made the call. It is their internal system and they are duping the customer by making false self-initiated calls to their internal numbers. There has to be an option of deactivating such calls but deliberately they are not providing the option of deactivating such calls.
It is a fraudulent act by Airtel and needs to be stopped.

Internet down for 5 days. And counting. No resolution still.

My Airtel fiber internet went down around 5pm on 17th May. Even today, after multiple follow up calls to Airtel Customer Support their technical team has not even bothered to visit my home to troubleshoot the problem. Each time I call I am assured that my problem will be resolved expeditiously. But nothing happens. I have made about 10 calls over the last 6 days. The case has even been escalated. But no resolution in sight. I just got a call...

Refund for double recharge

Q. Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 179 and had activated a pack for next 28 days.
