Good! Airtel values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Airtel step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

      I had an airtel number with which my accounts were linked. The number is not been used in 4 years. The number is now reassigned to someone else. I can't login into the accounts and the person with that mobile number is a threat to my privacy. Kindly help how to get back the number or how to solve this problem.

        Data voucher redeemed and reflecting but i cant use it because i don't have active data plan, so i tried to contact support and guess what i cant even contact them because i don't have an active plan on my prepaid number (i thought this problem is insufficient/ignisufficient but wait, it's wrong ) why i could redeem the coupon at all in the first place if i don't have an active plan ? so it could be wasted ? or i must recharge my number to use that 1gb data that is showing 2 days validity limit by adding a 500 rupees worth plan do i can use "1 GB" data?
        its a complete scam isn't it ?

          I bought a new Airtel sim on 22 Aug, 2021 from a store. They said it will be activated within 24 hours. But today is 29 Aug, and still there is no sign of any reception of network and the sim is still not active. I wanted to buy an Airtel sim because my primary sim Jio has network issues. But I ended up in activation issues with Airtel.
          It was for my online exam, the exam is to be over soon but I have not got the connection of Airtel.

          Please help.
          The details of ghe new Airtel sim are-
          SIM No.[protected]U
          IMSI No. [protected]
          Mobile No. [protected]

            How can Airtel charge me for reactivation. Govt has already set Carrier charges. And Airtel is deducting same.

            The way they are charging Reactivation charges between topups is clear looting. They should stop and refund same customer accounts.

            Dear Airtel. Behave professionally, wht is special thing that makes you charge in the name of Reactivation between recahrges. but not other DTH Providers

              I recharged ₹ 79 to keep the SIM running as usual. I did not send sms to try again and again. Then comes the msg from Airtel. Recharge Airtel for s 219 or ₹ 299 for sms service. So give me back the recharge so I can do a bigger rechagre. Calls to airtel center they not answer my call.

                I have been facing issue with call service and internet. Even after regular bill payment i have not received the kind of service i requested for.

                After every complaint raised expected time of resolution was more than 15 days and still closing the ticket without resolution. After reopening the ticket another 15 days was raised.

                        Hi Sir,

                        I moved to USA few months and requested Airtel to change my post paid mobile service to prepaid. Customer care is not at all responding and at last they said that customer need to present in person to change from post paid to prepaid. I am not using Airtel from few months and they are sending mail to pay the bill every month. Can you please help to change my post paid service to pre paid.

                        Thank and Regards,
                        Vinod

                              I was already airtel dth customer for almost 8 years long. I stopped using dth connection since 6 months. 1 month back I planned to get airtel broadband connection the executive said it's free for a month (trial pack) and it would just use my dth number and I'd details. I am not happy with their service & not interested to continue. To my shock am being charged everyday as subscription charges of dth. I called dth airtel twice now they are saying we need to clear the whole outstanding to get our security deposit. With it after giving complain number twice I was never called by their so called supervisors.

                                I am airtel customer for over 20 years. I have moved to USA recently but kept my two airtel mobile numbers, mostly for sentimental reasons. Since I visit India once in 2 years for few weeks, I changed my numbers to prepaid to keep them active at minimal cost. Recharging a mobile via airtel site is completely useless, 7 times already, money gets deducted and airtel site apologies for technical issue and refunds money after few days. Today already paid 3 times, money gone from credit card / bank account, not sure it will come back. Tried reaching to airtle support via 121 email and all they responds is call them, really from USA about a simple recharge failing. Not sure when Indian service providers will raise to global standards. I will surely move out during my next visit, so long to 23 years relationship with Airtel.

                                  Hi,

                                  My number [protected] airtel sim has became faulty and while getting replacement sim came to know that my name is incorrectly recorded as SHNU Nair R instead of Vishnu Nair R.

                                  Iam presently in Kerala and checked from a nearby customer service centre to change the same but they are saying as the sim is of Karnataka/Bangalore circle i need to visit there in person to get it done (even if i give an authorization letter to my friend they are not accepting it).

                                  Due to this covid situation iam not able to go to Bangalore in person to get this changed. Kindly suggest any other way in which the name in my record can be changed so that i can request for a replacement sim.

                                  Regards,
                                  Vishnu
