    The prepaid mobile number [protected] is in my name G S Shashidhara and the connection is existing for about 10 years. On 06/12/2014, all of a sudden the connection went off and the mobile showed 'sim card registration failed'. To check what the problem is I dialled the number [protected] from another mobile. To my surprise the call was received by a gentleman. Upon enquiry, he told that he is residing in Bangalore and has taken the mobile number in the name of his mother. He applied on 4th Dec 2014 and got activated on 6th Dec 2014. I called customer care Airtel and explained the problem. They checked the name of the person and address which belonged to mobile number [protected] and confirmed that it is in my name only. When I explained the scenario which has happened, they told that they have not transferred my mobile number to any person. Notably they did not record any complaint saying that the records are fine. I even explained that this is unlawful activity on part of airtel to allot a number belonging to one person to another person when it is still a running number. If the person who at present using my number involves in any unlawful activities, all the blame comes on my head. But airtel customer care did not initiate any action. I am hereby pleading with you to take action against airtel for doing such unlawful activity which amounts to punishment and provide compensation for whatever the mental agony I am going through and also restore my connection.

        Hi, I have postpaid number "[protected]" (Telangana). Booster of Rs3555/- has been activated without my notice. I called Airtel customer care on 7th Nov 2014. Airtel agreed and said that they will weaver the whole amount in the next month. I have been calling Airtel since 8th Nov 2014 daily till date, but no action has has been taken till now. I have paid the bill which I used for the month of Nov i.e Rs403/- on 15th Nov 2014, but still they have added late fee charges Rs100/- & added Rs355/- booster for 3 days i.e from 5th Nov 2014 to 7th Nov 2014. I'm frustrated & pissedoff with this. I want to cancel this number. Could you please help me. Thanks and Regards, Rekha Singh [protected]

        Thanks a lot for the quick reply. They have barred the connection today. This is the 3rd time in the past two months & this is really too much. I have been calling since Nov 8th continuously till date for the same issue. I'm fed up explaining the same issue again and again to all the customer service representatives. Could you please do the needful. My alternate number is "[protected]"

              Hello, Myself Abhijit, using Airtel 3G dongal data card having number [protected] for Internet, I am staying Chokkanahalli near Hegde nagar Thanisandra Main road Bangalore, I always recharge for 3G, all the time I am getting 2G network and low speed. But charge deducted at rate of 3G. All time your execute tells the problem will get resolved, but that never happens. I feel Airtel cheating with customer. If Airtel unable to provide 3G network then stop deducting 3G charges from my account.

                            Sir I bought a sim from Nedumangad, Trivandrum Kerala on 2/12/2014 and gave id proof and my photograph. They told me that it will be activated around 8 at night. But it has not activated so far and I went to their office. I told them the trouble I had to face with because I travelled 20 km and lost half day leave for this. Their response surprised me. They simply told me that if I have any complaint I should call 121 and tell there. Then they did something in the computer and told me that it will be activated within one hour. But it has not activated so far and show no range. The person who handled my complaint was one Ratheesh.(he told me so) Please help

                                    I have made a request on 27th October 2014 to relocate my connection ([protected]) to my new address. Airtel took nearly a week and came with the conclusion that it is not possible to relocate my connection to my new address. So I asked them to close the connection. However, there is no response for my request instead they are generating bills for November and December and asking me to pay Rs. 1702. But why should I pay the connection that I am not using? Moreover, it is not my fault. It is Airtel's fault that could not relocate the connection and sending the bills for the connection that is requested to be closed. I don't understand the concept here. The customer care person told me clearly that the bill will not be generated please bear with us for few more days while we will try to relocate your connection. But none of the progress happened yet. Please help me to close the connection. In my attachment, you can see clearly that there is no response for the request I sent on 27th October 2014 and same for the mail 29th October 2014. So mailed them again on 11th November 2014. Since there is no fault in my side, Airtel records my compliant date as 11th November 2014!!! and processed bill for the month November as well.

                                        Sir/Madam, I am an airtel subscriber and since last few year i have been noticing that in my Area due to lack of any tower installations Airtel has been the worst signal that any airtel subscriber had experience. Its is very difficult to surf net or call or even detect a single stick network displayed on a cell phone. I want your Airtel tower installation in my area for a convenient network for my people. I have a LPC land plot in favour of my name . Lastly I request you to kindly send your expert from the company and survey my designated area.
