Address: AIRTEL
Website: www.airtel.in

I had recharged for Rs.49 on 12/07/2021 with gives a talk value of 38.52 and tried to send an SMS, but I was not able to send it, an error was coming. I thought it might be because the Talk value I got maybe a freebie So I had recharged for additional 10 Rs, and still the problem was not cleared. Then I contacted Airtel Customer Care and they are now Saying that SMS can be sent from my sim only if I recharge with an unlimited pack of a minimum of Rs.129. For sending one single SMS I have to Recharge with Rs.129. There is another Unlimited Pack valid for 2day with 19Rs recharge, but that does not have an SMS feature.
Hera I am not saying about an offer I am protesting about the Feature I am denied to have even after payment.
How on earth Airtel is justifying this when premium SMS cost only 5Rs. I agree there are other benefits along with that, but I am not interested in availing those, I am having only 2G network coverage in my area, then why should I go for an internet pack? I as a customer should be on the choosing side if that's not there then why Airtel is running commercials saying they are with Customers?
They are saying TRAI had given the direction that only for unlimited validity pack recharge only sms facility can be given, I dont know who is the head of TRAI, he should be beaten first.
Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
I recently did the exact same two recharges and got the info that now I cant even send sms through airtel anymore with my talk time. This is honestly the worst thing Airtel could have done. Good work airtel you just lost a customer.

      The customer service is too much poor to resolve my issue.
      Its just time to quit people from Airtel Payments Bank for this type of delay and failure.
      The Airtel staff is going to tell wrong information and wrong guidence.
      Always they told wrong information.

        My CUSTOMER id [protected]. I have recharged for 338 Rupees on 11 July 2020 for 30 days of service as per the rates available. But in airtel thanks app it is showing as 28 days validity. When called the CUSTOMER care several times, got the message saying that Rs 15 has been deducted as suspension fees when recharge has done on the same ###. This is a prepaid service and there is no concept of late payment or suspension fee. Above all, as soon as the expiry date, services have been stopped. As the services were stopped and recharge done on the same date and airtel cannot charge as late payment/suspension fee. Can you please look into the malpractice by airtel and penalty on them and bring justice to CUSTOMERs.

          I have ported in my number from Jio to Airtel in a hope that Airtel always proudly advertise that they are the biggest network service provider however it's not even a month I am facing a serious network issue specially while using mobile internet service.
          I live in a remote city of South Delhi in B.H camp, Govindpuri, Kalkaji and I don't really expect a bad service like this from Airtel.

          I have tried with all the basic trouble shooting step and even changed my handset couple of time still the problem remain the same.

          Please resolve the issue at the earliest.

              Airtel is charging a hefty amount of rs 1000 if you want to ### your connection in the same city.

              This is the case when they are using the same modem and wiring. I had only recently got the connection and they don't need to put anything extra. Still they are charging 1000 rs without any explanation, saying that this is the policy.

              This is utter cheating with the consumer. Please see into this
