Unable to call landline numbers from Airtel mobile number

I am unable to call any landline number from my airtel mobile number even after using 0 or +91 before the respective number. Every time I call, I get the line is busy or I am unable to connect. However, I am able to connect using other telecom services.

Why the hell you are not resolving this issue even after repeated complaints from other customers also....

Not refunding my security deposit for Airtel DTH connection

I got an Airtel DTH connection in February 2021 paying a security deposit of ₹ 1500.
DTH Acc No. - [protected]

It was a terrible decision as the quality of service was terrible throughout. The connection would drop in windy and rainy conditions. Nevertheless, I stuck to it for a few months. Now I have decided to deactivate the connection as I don't need it anymore.

First, there's absolutely no easy way...

I moved to Dubai in March 2021 and have been here since. When I arrived here I was using my Airtel mobile number which I have been using for the past 10 years and which is almost everywhere from aadhar to bank account . I recharge it for about 355 every 2½ months just so it's kept active and I can continue receiving all my updates. After about 3 months suddenly one day it went inactive even with validity and balance.
Now I can't access...
