I have a pre-paid connection viz +[protected]. I am now on a visit to the US.

I switched phones two days back (19th March ) and went from an android to an iPhone. Duly upgraded to eSIM vide your OTP 597757 (1.11 pm, Mar 19, 2024). Your message did say that "SMS services will be barred for 24 hrs".

Problem is, these services HAVE NOT RESUMED TILL THIS MINUTE despite so much effort made checking and re-checking various options for the past 24 hours (after the 'barred' period of 24 hours, of course.

I have duly removed the physical SIM from the old phone after eSIM activation on the new phone, but TO NO AVAIL.

I now stand with my sources of funds cut off ( cannot access my Indian bank accounts), my contacts in the limbo (WhatsApp OTT not being received for porting WhatsApp on the new phone), WhatsApp on the old phone already on the blink simultaneously.

I am unable to correct the situation despite many efforts.

Please help me with renewal of text messaging service on my number viz., +[protected] with immediate effect.

Thank you.

PS: You may reach me on WhatsApp on +[protected] for any clarifications, inputs you may require.

      I am shocked with the time taken by your team for the issuance of FasTag.

      I paid the amount 8 days before and still validation is not done.
      After validation, you are asking another 14 working days.
      That means your valuable customer will have to wait for a month time to get Airtel FasTag.

      I did big mistake by approaching Airtel.
      I could have got the FasTag on the next day from other service providers like SBI, HDFC, ICICI bank etc.

      I will never ever refer any body to approach Airtel for the FasTag.

      My request to all :
      NEVER EVER approach Airtel for FasTag. They will take 10 to 15 days for validation of your order and post validation they will take another 15 to 20 days for the issuance of FasTag. Their customer support will not even take complaint before 15 actual working days.

      That means, one can not get Airtel fasTag before one month. Who would wait for such a long time, when one can get the FasTag on the next day ?

        I have done 2 payments for fast tag recharge (each for 1000rs) on 18th Jan'24 via airtel payments bank.

        One with UPI got successfull but one with hdfc bank debit card got failed and money is deducted from my account.

        I have asked Hdfc bank and they are saying that merchant has claimed that money but airtel Payments bank is not refunding the money.

        Requesting your help to get the refund of 1000rs for my failed transaction. I am attaching all the proof;s with this post.

              Airtel Bank and Fastag are scams. This is the second time I have been charged extra via Airtel Bank Fastag. On 28th Dec I been charged double toll amount at Talegaon Toll plaza while travelling from Mumbai to Pune.

              Immediately I raised complaint with Airtel bank customer service with all proofs and they said refund will be issued within next 15-20 days but nothing happened. Again I raised ticket in February and received same response but I never received my money from NPCI or Airtel Bank. I travel regularly on this route and I have statement proofs. Airtel Bank is not at all helpful and I will recommend avoid buying fastags from such a poor service provider who doesn't care about customer's money.

                  It is since 3 days from when i have raised a complaint but there's no progress in the service, the technical team from airtel are not responding to calls.
                  Airtel has not upgraded my connection from copper technology to fiber technology for years together and because of it, im getting only 16 mbps speed but as per my basic plan, im supposed to get 40 mbps speed.
                  Im totally disappointed with airtel's approach, they neither upgrade the technology of my service nor resolve the connection issues promptly nor atleast cancel / disconnect my service and they expect me to pay the bill on time fully for a fiber technology plan.

                    My name is Krupa pavani. I'm using Airtel number for more than 10 years. Im in Qatar now and I face repeated main balance deduction without reason. On 17.12.23 after recharging with Rs.500 my main balance is Rs.587, I came to India on 22.12.23 and I came to know my balance got deducted without any mail/ sms by contacting customer care.

                    Again on 02.01.24 RS.100/ got deducted and meanwhile I raised a complaint with both consumer...

                    Airtel provided Wynk premium subscription during recharge but the subscription expired way before the validity of the airtel plan ended. This is pure cheating.

                    When asked Airtel representatives, they simply shrugged their responsibility and said to reach out Wynk. And nobody responds at Wynk. So, it's just convenient for Airtel to ignore customer complaints like this.

                      I'm a airtel customer and I've recharged my prepaid sim on feb 15 for INR 455 pack through google pay and that plan is still active. Also, I've mistakenly recharged again on Mar 6 for INR 666 pack through google pay and this plan is also become active today.

                      I was trying to speak to airtel customer care executive but the call is not getting connected.

                      How two packs can be activated same time? Airtel is always giving worst user experience.

                      I either want refund of INR 666 or this plan should get activated once my INR 455 plan got expired.

                              My broadband connection is not working from 21/02/2024 and no action taken by the service provider till date indpite of repeated complaints in thMyAirtel app and through their customer support number. All I am getting is saying the complaint is taking longer and being attended to. I get at least 3 SMS daily an SMS whenever I make a complaint but nothing is happening

                                    I have opted for data booster for Rs 200 only for 1 month for mobile no. [protected]. This is getting added in the bill every month. Also there is no option given in the Airtel app to cancel it.
                                    I have been misled by Airtel and needs to switch out to better services.
