      Hi Airtel, I have ported my number from BSNL to Airtel. I have no signal on the old SIM card and removed the sim and inserted new SIM. I can't able to verify, it always says No service. I can't able to register it using manual network also.
      I got the below mentioned msg to my spare number.
      my ported number is [protected]

      We care for you! Your number Phone no is scheduled for port-in to Airtel-Tamil Nadu tonight at 00:08:00 hrs. Please keep the new SIM *********** ready and insert the same once your existing SIM displays no network to start using airtel services. Thank you.

              I had purchased a new sim from airtel on 2nd July 2021. I immediately made an online recharge for Rs.219. But, I did not receive any message from airtel nor was the amount credited. Then when I enquired with the dealer, I was informed that the first recharge should be done only with the retailer/dealer.
              I need to know how I can recover the amount of Rs.219. My new airtel sim/contact number is [protected].

                  Now you have removed sms service through balance. This is really a very bad policy. I and my whole family use airtel since ages. And now I hate airtel. And regret using airtel. Being too greedy is not done at all. I soon will change airtel with any other sim but not airtel. I didn't switched to jio even when they were giving free internet and calls. I never bought any other sim. Keep being greedy to see your fall.

                          Hi Team,

                          Last Monday I have tried to recharge my DTH through online Rs.200 using airtel website. While trying they detected Rs.200 after some time I got transaction failed message to my number and they mentioned will refund that amount next 48 hours. But still the amount is not refunded. So kindly check and let me share your findings.

                            I had recharged my sim the previous month with a pack of 3gb data and 28 days validity. After few days it came to my notice that my services had ended and after inquiring with Google pay support, apparently airtel didn't only recharged the 3gb and not the 28 days validity. For the past few days I have been trying to contact their customer support in every way possible, the app just sends me to their site with literally no help. The customer service number is 50% just advertisement and call immediately ends when I try contacting their executive. My mother uses vodafone and have way better customer service. Airtel is just simply awful.

                              I purchased a new prepaid sim today from an Airtel store
                              I was told to wait for 30 mins before I start the activation process
                              It has been more than 3 hours and I see no signal on my phone
                              I have tried different phones
                              I don't know my new number and the customer care agents at Airtel are not providing any help
                              I have the sim details ie the 20 digit aim number and the imsc number
                              I have tried powering on and off the device, inserting reinserting sim etc.. but nothing works
                              I was charged 50 rs, yet got no reciept . They didn't provide me the mobile number either
                              In these corona times, I want to mimimize my exposure, yet I am having to visit Airtel store multiple times.
                              Doorstep kyc is not available and I live in a major city -Chennai
                              I was expecting better service from Airtel, otherwise I would have just gone with some of the more economical carriers

                                      I want to Port my airtel number ([protected]) in jio . So I need UPC code from airtel. But they are not providing me UPC code . They are sending me this massage, ( UPC cannot be generated for the reasons: (1) there are subsisting contractual obligations with your service provider. Please contact your service provider for further assistance.)
                                      Then I visited airtel store for this problem, but they are unable to solve this problem.

                                        My airtel sim out of the blue this morning stopped working, I thought it was my device so i tried with my other phone and it's the same, doesn't work. Need help

                                        I had faced the same problem about 4 days ago. i didn't get any response from the airtel customer care.
                                        finally i went to the nearest airtel service centre and take a duplicate sim with same number. if anyone facing the same problem maybe its due to sim damage. so visit the nearest service center and get a new one.
