    It's been 1 month now, and none of the airtel staff are responding to the issue that me and husband is having. On 28th of July our both Airtel Sim have stopped receiving OTPs and text messages even though we have recharged and the validity is still there. Reached out to regional managers, customer service but no solution. They dropped a mail asking many questions and steps to follow which we already did and told them. But there was no response or solution till date. I really want to sue them in consumer court because of the trouble they are causing us during this Pandemic and being abroad.

            Airtel has reduced it's duration of bill due date by 2 days. Earlier if bill was generated on 19th of each month & payment has to be done by last day of that month & auto bill payment was executed. Now bill generated on 19th & pay by 28th of everymonth. Where as auto bill payment will be done on 30th & airtel is charging late payment charges. Airtel has not done communicated with customer on change of plan, neither allow us to pay without late payment fee or attend customer complaint raised by customer. They close your complaint ticket in after few days without resolution & also keep promoting ads like they are trying to achieve 0 complaints

                  I am using prepaid sim, usually I used to recharge "unlimited plan" ( like Rs 399/ 56 days). Due to my low usage of calls and data I have recharged "smart recharge" ( like for calls Rs. 79 / 28 days and for data Rs.48 / 3 GB) . After few hours I am checking my balance is zero.
                  So, I have called customer care and enquired about it. She said you have used the data that's why money is deducted. I am explaining her that I have call and data pack then why there is deduction. Replay I have got is " first they will deduct the money from main balance for data usage after the balance become zero the data pack will be start in use."

                          I am using the Airtel Post Paid No. onwards from March 2021 . This was activated on March 2021.

                          I regular paid the bill as per the Bill received by me from Airtel . My bill always comes under the Rs. 588. And as per the Airtel My credit Limit is fixed as Rs . 3500/- . and my bill was never crossed the credit limit as I always use the bill below Rs. 600/- .

                          I used this Airtel Post paid no. regularly from March 2021 and regular check the amount of bill during my bill period.

                          On 2 month, when bill generated from month of July - August. It was shocked to me that the Bill amount very much high for me according to my plan. After the enquired from the CCE, I came to know that the bill amount was very high due to the ICD calls .

                          But the fact is that, I never activate the ISD call Facility on my Post Paid connections. And, my credit limit was fixed by the Airtel was Rs.3500 /- but as per the amount of generated by airtel was shown as above RS 4000.

                          The bill shown by me was totally wrong and i started call to CCE of airtel after the talk they waiver above 3000 bill but they are not waivered more amount they said you make ISD and Special number calls.

                          I am Digital marketer by the Profession. As per the record of my statement, my bill amount never crossed the Credit Limit . I never activated the ISD facility on my post paid connection . I never made any ISD call from my Number .

                          So, sent me the correct bill which help me the make the payment .

                          Revert me as earliest possible. Kindly do the needful for me and solve my grievance against the Airtel.

                                I processed a recharge for 448/- on August 18th
                                My money got deducted from the bank but my phone number wasn't recharged
                                The details below my transaction says RECHARGE FAILED AND MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED BACK IN 5-7 BUSINESS DAYS
                                But I still haven't gotten any refund

                                    Hello sir
                                    I have been an airtel user for a long and recently got an issue of no call service on my no. When I went to the airtel store to get a duplicate sim I came to know that the ID card linked with it is wrong which I never knew till now as I never got any problem earlier.
                                    But now I have not given any solution regarding this manner and they are just recommending to change the no.
                                    As it is my no for long I don't want to change it so if you can look into the matter I will be very thankful.

                                        We use to top up a prepaid mobile pak with 28 days validity for Rs.49 and its no longer available without any prior information. Literally making customer to avail only Rs.79. Its really too much for a light-user and request you to reinstal such minimum package otherwise we may have to drop the airtel and move to other providers

                                        There is no reply and ire of silence as Airtel is misusing its prime position in the market. All users are not same and there should be minimum low package for light users and TRAI is closing its eyes for all these misuse by Telcos
