        Yesterday i recharged my mobile no[protected] for rs.197 scheme and received a msg., free talk time is valid for 2 days. On contacting the customer care they said it is not available for this sim. They also said it is for us to check out which scheme we are eligible and no such instruction is in website. When my monthly recharge itself is less than rs.500/0 how can i opt for rs.197/- for two days.

        Feel cheated. I am a senior citizen of 63 yrs old and feel very sad for such cheating by big corporates for small amounts.

        Very filthy feeling.

          Instead of recharging for [protected] i mistakenly recharged [protected] for rs.399 (1gb a day 84 days pack)

          Transaction id 280010. Attaching the screenshot.

          Paid with airtel app using sbi credit card.

          Request you to reverse the payment.

          I recently recharge Airtel number because he says the fastest speed network in India
          But I think Jio 's internet speed better than Airtel
          I really check the speed of both Jio and Airtel
          But Jio is better than Airtel
          So my complaint is to repair or upgrade Airtel tower
          Airtel need to improve internet speed

              Website: consumercomplaints.in

              It's been 6 days i raised a complaint against airtel, but till today i haven't received any call or email from airtel regarding my complaint. Now i came to know after these many working days even after complaining in consumercomplaint.in airtel is not at all taking any action on my complaint. So the hope on government is also vanished from me in solving my issue. Even the government is not at all taking any action towards this. And my older complaint is stated below for your kind information.

              I p. Saipavan with bearing airtel mobile number [protected] have recently ported to airtel in the month of march or april 2017. At first i recieved signal in roaming i. E in kerala but when i changed my location to goa i stopped recieving signals from airtel and they asked me to take a new sim from andhra itself. So i kept in "safe custody" to not to lose my number if it is not used for months. Last month i. E on julu 31'st i have taken a new sim from airtel store in vijayawada, it worked well till i crossed the border while returning to goa. I stopped recieving signal from 6th august as i just crossed the border of andhra pradesh. Here in goa again i have a new sim in local store nearby vasco and that new sim to stopped recieving signals as soon as i inserted it in my phone and it was showing emergency calls only. First i thought it was my sim tray problem but others sims from other networks are working in the same sim tray but not airtel. I have raised a complaint on this issue to airtel on 7th august 2017 but the actual complaint is registered from airtel 9th august and 11th august i got a response from airtel stating with a service request number 78555330 and our network team is working with the issue and it will be solved on or before 16th august 2017 but the issue is not yet solved and im not at all recieving any signals from airtel to my number and they are not even responding to my mails and asking me to wait.
              And my question is???
              1) will my isuue wil be solved or not??
              2) how many days i have to wait for recieving signal???.
              3) i dont want to loosed my number i. E [protected] since it was registered with all my bank accounts and all my contacts in my phone are used to this number.

              Please consider this issue at most as i was not able to recieve any signal from airtel apart from emergency calls from the past 10 days. Please do the needfull

                  I’ve paid my bill after the disruption of the services. Yesterday they disrupted my services with the pending bill of just 314 and i paid that on the same time. Still i’m unable to use my services, not even text messages. What kind of network disrupts the call for 314 rupees? I want my to port my number now because you cannot even contacts the costumer support online.

                  I had filed a complaint in customer care of Airtel about speed and network. But they are continuously ignoring the complaint only giving the time limit of 24hrs or 48 hrs but it's been 2 weeks and the problem has not been solved.
                  Which is quite annoying. Airtel is the careless provider and I think need to act on it.

                    Hi,

                    I am shilpa saware and airtel customer. My outgoing and data plan is blocked as the bill payment was not made by me but there was a bill against me 1538.92 which was incorrect.
                    Yesterday, i had a call with the customer care and confirmed. They came up saying there was some technical mistake that has been charged. They have requested me to be patience and wait for another correct bill to pass. But on the next day they have stopped my outgoing and data plan which is very annoying.

                    Please do the needful

                    Thanks.
                    Shilpa

                      Dear helpdesk team,

                      Greetings!

                      My phone number was linked with my aadhar number by a retailer in kattur. He charged me rs 20 for the service.

                      The company policy is that it is done without any extra charges.

                      Please let me know what i should do to rectify this malpractice.

                      Please answer me how you are going to deal with the problem of retailers harassing people for the service?

                      Can i suggest that this process can be made easy through your application..
                      Your prompt action will benefit a lot of people.

                        Airtel guys called me and share the airtel plans of gsm and gprs plans which are good as compared to vodafone. So i submit porting request from vodafone to airtel on 26/07/17. Within a week vodafone number got disconnected and airtel sim that they gave i inserted, that was showing "no service".
                        I thought this is general process, it will take time.
                        After 2 to 3 days i stared calling customer care from my friends number, as i do not have any other contact number. They said it takes 7 days for porting.

                        Now when i went to airtel dealer who gave me airtel sim, he again gave me new sim as he said it was old type of sim and said new sim will be activated within 24hr. He also register request of sim change.

                        Nothing happen and both sim still deactivated.
                        I registered complaint with nodal office they said to go to nearest airtel office and submit the documents again. I did the same and the airtel office ensured me that sim will be activated within 24 hr. Now again the same, sim is not activated.

                        Now i am having 2 sim cards, one is old one which airtel agent gave me first and the other one which he gave me after this. He said that, he register the sim change request as well. I dont know where is this process stuck.

                        Mobile no - [protected]
                        Old sim no :-[protected]h-2
                        New sim no:[protected]u

                        Alternate contact no:- [protected]

                        If airtel is not able to handle these taks, better not to ask people to port to their network. I am facing a serious issue as this is my personal number and i am getting loss in my peronsal life as well as in business.

                        Please help me in this issue.

                                I requested for nmnp on 16.08.2017. Today morning I got the network showing on the phone and I got done with the verification. Now, the problem is that incoming calls and sms are just barred . I tried calling the customer care, but that is only just a waste of time. There is no proper response . Please help me to solve this issue
