          Sim scam

          I bought my Airtel number 8 years back, i have been using that number from last 8 years without any interruptions.
          But few days back suddenly network gone and when I called customer care, i received the information to get the sim replaced. As per instructions i visited the nearest Airtel store and told them the issue.
          To my surprise they told me that this number is not registered on my name. As per them it is registered on...

          Dear support,

          I raised a request for safe custody of my Airtel broadband account for 3 months. Once the safe custody time period was over, my account was disconnected without even informing me.
          I got to know about the disconnection when I was looking for the ARP bill and found that the broadband details have been removed from the Airtel app.
          Think logically if any customer would pay for safe custody charges, just to get the account disconnected?

          However, once the account was disconnected, my remaining amount should have been refunded, which wasn't done and Airtel is stalling like a pro 'dukandaar'.

          My only requirement as of now would be to calculate the remaining amount correctly and refund it along with the bill/details.

          Breakup -
          12 month ARP amount =[protected] to[protected]
          Safe Custody Activated = 02-08-21
          Safe custody charges = 590

          Internet Charges from 17/01/21 to 02/08/21 = 6.5 months *[protected]/12) = 6513
          Safe custody charges = 590
          Total chargeable amount = 6513 + 590 = 7103

          Refund Amount =[protected] = Rs. 4921

          Its been 4 months since the disconnection and 3 months since I am regularly sending mails and making calls, but Airtel is so thick headed that they cannot do this simple math and make the payment. Kindly get the details validated and make the payment without further delay.

              Ho Team, I have requested for temporary disconnection of Airtel fixed line for 3 months as I am travelling out of station, I had a pending bill 588 (apx) which I agreed to pay later or when I would resume back the service after three months which is May 2022. I was told by customer care that I can stop making payments and services will be discontinued automatically, I agreed and so i received confirmation of disconnection on 17 FEB, now i see that a new bill is generated for 1219 rupees and being asked to pay. I am not going to pay for Feb month for which I have not used any services, Internet and voice calls, I would request to waive the Feb bill and I will Jan month bill, if so, I will resume back next month, if the issue is not resolved- I am ok to opt for temporary disconnection from Airtel from all sources and move to JIO. I have raised multiple complaints and no-one resolved instead dodging to answer. Please find latest request ID[protected].

              Need urgent call back and someone to resolve.

              Regards,
              Raja Sudhir

                      I am staying in Kyrgyzstan since October. I was receiving all the messages on my number. But, the last message I received was on 25th January. Since then, I'm not getting ANY messages, not even the OTPs from websites and applications. I was getting messages from different companies, applications, Airtel itself, And now I'm not getting any.
                      I did complain many times through customer care number on ISD charges from my Kyrgyzstan local number but they keep giving dates not resolving my problem yet..
                      Please help me.

                        Airtel Fibre broad band connection Mumbai I expected to be a decent company, but got disheartened when I requested them for a fibre connection after getting and making advance payment for their 40 Mbps unlimited plan in copper wire.
                        I was to be upgraded to the fibre plan but their executive cheated me and took 6 months advance payment for new connection of 200 Mbps unlimited plan, saying that balance surplus amount in my copper plan would be migrated and added to my fibre account, when this did not happen I called their customer care no but since the company is FRAUD their senior person told me there will be no refund or migration of balance to or from either of the accounts, I will have to use their services exhaust the amount and discontinue the services.
                        Request to my brothers and sisters out there not to subscribe to AIRTEL Broadband services under any pretexts this is a fraud company out to cheat our people.
                        I had used services if JIO Broadband which contrary to belief is a honest company they refunded my 6 months advance payment 4 times consecutively.
