                My airtel sim and mobile number [protected] not working despite full year validity . 10 days back i was planning to port my number to another carrier but i got a request from airtel to keep going with them . i gave a thought perhaps i should wait for some more time with them despite i knew bad network which is frequent from last 3 months.
                and this was my mistake perhaps. i made a full year validity recharge of 1498/- and network gone progressively as i recharged it . 1st the outgoing and then incoming and now full network though the my my airtel app shows full validity and recharge.
                how disgusting to note that a day before i was on with this network & all of a sudden you are disowning your customer despite a valid sim .
                its really shameful on part of airtel -wasted my whole day of transactions ! please refund back my amount asap

                    Hello! This is the 2nd time I'm making a complaint since I got no resolution to my previous complaint. I made a transaction on Airtel's website for the recharge worth Rs. 449 dated 3rd May '21 for which the amount got debited but I was told my recharge failed. So, I contacted Airtel support regarding that and they assured me to proceed with a new recharge transaction and that the old disputed transaction's amount will be refunded back within 15 days. I waited for the time being and still hadn't received any amount. So I contacted Airtel back and now they told me they haven't received any amount from my end and should contact my concerned bank. I later contacted HDFC Bank regarding this disputed transaction and was assured they'll look into it and will get the amount back by 15th July '21. I was contacted by the Bank again this time stating that Airtel has provided all documents regarding the issue, that they received the debited amount & that the transaction was successful. In actuality however, it was the transaction records of the 2nd successful recharge that I was told to Airtel confirmed and not the first disputed one. Contacting the support is causing me a lot of strain and mental agony and I'm tired of going through this now. It's been nearly four months and still I haven't got any resolution for the transaction amount either from Airtel or from the bank. I would really appreciate it if my amount gets refunded at the earliest or else I'll have to go with legal proceedings. I have attached all the communication I've received from the bank and Airtel as well. Also I am attaching my Bank statement for proof of transaction.

                      I have taken airtel fiber connection, which is bad from 12th September 2021. Red light is burning in it. Regarding the complaint of which I lodged a complaint several times with 121 customer care continuously from 12 September 2021 till the evening of 18 September 2021 but no solution was found. Just daily assurances were being given that today will be right, tomorrow will be right. Even their local LCO Prateek Singh and local service manager Ashish did not pick up my phone even once, I have suffered a lot for the last seven days, the validity of my plan is also getting exhausted but till now no solution has been found.

                              Dear sir,
                              i am the customer of Airtel Fixed Line from 2007. my Telephone no is [protected] named Pawan Kothari, C/o Mohta Medical, Raipur. We are enrolled to receive Only Detailed PAPER BILL but from last 30 months we are not receiving. Raised complained several times (almost every month on date 25-28th). complaint Call center always essure to sent Paper Bill in next 5 days, but never received it once. I also several times requested them to send me a letter mentioning "airtel is not able to send Paper bill", But there is no solution.
                              why are they not sending us a detailed Paper bill, is there any GHAPALAA?
                              kindly look after the matter and order them for provide Paper Bill regularaly.
                              Regards

                                I have my Sim registered mistakenly in my First and last name. My middle and real name is non existing for them so they say they cannot re issue it. Who has a name Mohammad Khan ? I remember to submitting my passport for porting from Tata Docomo to Airtel or for re issuing at some point. A not so trained professional will commit this mistake but who expect it from a reputed company like Airtel. There had been no fruitful response from Airtel Moradabad. I expect it to get resolved soon.

                                    I moved to Poland a couple of months ago. Until yesterday Network was working fine. I was receiving messages with basic plan . I had recharged it for 3 months. Suddenly it is showing NO SERVICE. I tried calling them. Upon calling they are saying that the SIM HAS BEEN CORRUPTED. They are not properly telling how can I get new sim with me being not their. And it’s difficult to call customer service when u r abroad. Request you to please check and help us on this

                                      I swapped my SIM today as it suddenly stopped working. The retailer charged rupees 150 rupees for the same.
                                      I got a message from Airtel stating thay my request has been submitted and the retailer will charge maximum rupees 25 for the same. Could you please clear what was I charged for?
