I am using Airtel prepaid Sim for 8 years. I am on an official trip overseas. I did not recharge the Sim for 3 months and it got deactivated. To reactivate I contacted Airtel. I am asked to visit Airtel customer care in person. I cannot travel given the current travel restrictions across all airlines and by the government in the country I work. As this Sim is associated with a lot of my accounts I cannot let this number go.

I was in contact with Airtel through email and I have only 5 days left of the 15 days grace period for reactivation.

Is it possible to hold this number in my name for a fee?

Is it possible to transfer this number to any of my family members?

Please suggest a feasible solution considering my situation that I am overseas.

Thank you

              Hi
              Airtel CUSTOMER care and service guys have become a nightmare these days. They provide any service these days. They spend millions in ads making false claims as they are working towards zero faults. Here i am briefing about my horrible experience which i am facing with Airtel regarding a Landline connection. 3 weeks gone and i have made around 45 calls till date to Airtel CUSTOMER care but ### all my efforts were in vain. They make 'n' no. of apologies each day/each guy but by end of the day nothing happens. In my whole years of experience i have never come across this sort o[censored]seless service provider. Literally i got so pissed off. Gone to the verge of disconnection.

                              Regarding the above issue, today after more then 50 calls with continues redial, got the executive in line and final reply was service not available in our location ; How Airtel is collecting the payment without checking their service availability in location; Only executive is so hurry to collect documents and receive payment; after receive payment no response. now as per executive they need the ecaf number once again to recheck the service availability; if no luck. They said it will be refunded. no idea wheather am going to get the executive once again back on line. how many days it is going to take, how much time am going to waste calling this executive. And i cannot go for next carrier without getting their final reply.

                              adding in the above complaint, i didn't receive my payment refund until today in my bank account .While booking service support team didn't checked the service availability in my area but sales team forced to do the payment to start the process which to be completed in a day as per sales team; I had done the payment and submitted my documents on the same day. Now i didn't get service for their service unavailability in my area and my payment is almost more than 15 days with no response for refund

                                One Mr.Dhaval Prajapti's oofice approached me for the Airtel connection, i gave consent that i would like to port my existing number to Airtel.
                                Then this chap came to me and we requested for my 2 Vodafone connections for the port out, he took 1498 as one year prepaid charges and Rs 650 for the 3 months prepaid charges for the other sim
                                after 4 day when my port out happened, i came to know that he has cheated me and not paid my prepaid money to the airtel.
                                when i called his he said, ho jayenga?
                                after rigorous followup he managed for 399 recharge and paid me 800 back for the first sim that too short by 300 . and height is he refused to recharge my other sim, and stating that thats the charges for the recharge .
                                i expect you all to look and arrange my short fall oe else i need to go to the consumer court

                                    Today i recharged my airtel number from the bharti Airtel website. The amount was rs 49. The payment was done but the recharge failed. The transaction id is - Txn ID:[protected]. I would like a refund since i had to do another recharge for the same amount. Please look into this matter. Yes the amount is not so large.. but for me it is important. Thank you.

                                      I recharged with the 449rs pack but I haven't got any confirmation and the amount has been deducted. Please look into this and reflect the recharge into my account soon.
