I have recharged for monthly Airtel Xstream Fiber for Rs. 1179/- on 14th April 2023. The recharge was successful but the internet was disconnected. I have raised multiple issues with Airtel customer care but they did not provide any solution or resolve the issue for 4 days.

Later I have asked them to cancel my connection and refund the amount but they said in prepaid plan they are not able to refund. How it could be possible when the user is not used any service and Airtel is not ready to refund?

I request you to help to get the refund and put a case on airtel for this process and behavior.

    It has happened three times since service started in August 2022: Sept 2022, October 2022 and April 2023. It is the same UK number (0044xxxxxx5094) that I have no idea about. I am very sure did not send these SMS.

    Airtel customer service rep called me and promised to engage proper team to fix it and make sure it does not happen again. Hopefully, I don't have to complain again on this matter. Kudo to Airtel's quick response. Thumb up.

      Hello sir/madam,

      I have recharged Rs 181 through Amazon App which was a invalid package but Airtel accepts the money. Yesterday i called the amazon customer care and told regarding this issue and then they forwarded the Refund message to Airtel. So can you please help me to get my refund back.

      Thanking you

            Broadband internet not working called customer care many Times. No one is trying to resolve the problem. Everyday they say service engineer will visit and no one visited till 7th may.its already been almost so many days with technical issues.
            After so many calls to customer care and writing to appellate authority no solution .
            It's prepaid broadband already recharged money getting waisted.

                It is as good as telling to a deaf ear the distributor not sending any representative to open the Airtel payment Bank account to do UPI transaction to get Ec amount
                He sent two representative to open Airtel payment Bank account and today server problem we will come next day but 10 days passed nobody has come to solve my problem
                Why distributor agency given to this type of adamant fellow
                Airtel company Asm, manager has to supervise and tell the distributor to solve the problem
                This really not at acceptable
                I have come across so many distributor for last 15 years I never seen such a hopeless distributor
                Please kindly do the needful

                      Hello,
                      I have recharged my airtel number with [protected] rs 839 on 21st April, 2023; it is included with Disney+Hotstar 3 months subscription. But from Sunday evening my Disney+hotstar app shows message "your Subscription has expired". Request to resolve the issue ASAP.

                      I have attached screenshot of recharged message, pack details and current active plan for your reference.

                      I am waiting for your positive response.

                      Thank you.

                          Hi Team,

                          I am Sachin Sharma, my phone number is [protected]. I am in UK right now for work purpose. While me being in UK my Airtel sim card (numbered [protected]) got corrupted.

                          I reached out to Airtel customer care. They asked me to share all visa, passport and other documents. I shared them. Later they asked me to send those documents physically along with my blood relative in India. I did that too.

                          Now it has been more than 3 months but sim card is not activated yet. Due to this my all banking transactions are blocked. I am unable to send money to my parents. They are heavily dependent on money which I send for their daily needs.

                          Humbly request you to please help me to get my sim card activated on priority. I have been following up with Airtel but every time they say that my request is in progress.

                          Moreover, Airtel is not activating my sim card but charging me every month in my postpaid bill.

                          Its not my mistake and I am suffering a lot. It has been more than 3 months of me following up with Airtel for sim card but still my sim is not activated.

                          I sincerely need your help to get this fixed. I was told that the sim card will be activated in 48 hours. But it has been more than 65 days. I am helpless.

                          Please help.

                          Hope I will get heard.

                          Thanks & Regards,

                            I had been using Airtel Wi-Fi and DTH as an Airtel Black Connection since Dec'21. On 26/April/2023, after making the payment of outstanding bill of 1924 INR on a pro rata basis, I have raised a request for deactivation of Wi-Fi and converted the DTH to prepaid. I have recharged the DTH service for 230 INR on 27/April/2023. But the validity expired on 02/May/2023 and shows a balance of 3.60 INR. When reached the customer support for tis concern, no proper explanation is being given and When reached prepaid DTH support they are asking me to reach the Airtel Black support and vice versa. I highly disappointed with their quality of service.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

Please help with refund.

                                Recharge done but their IVR call service provides wrong and miss leading information.

                                My Mobile #[protected]
                                Recharge done for rupees 301 this day
                                Entitling me 50 GB data

                                1. The above recharge was successfully done as evident as per our bank info, where the concerned amount of rupees 301 was successfully transferred from our bank account to Airtel.
                                2. This is further confirm as per the attached PDF file showing the same recharge successful on Airtel app of our account, showing the successful balance of data 52.5 GB. (Screenshot attached)
                                3. But still after all the above confirmation, when we dial Airtel IVR service, 198 and 121, they provide wrong and miss leading information of our data balance as only 2.5 GB.
                                4. This is so much confusing and irritating, why their on IVR issue deficient to provide correct balance, causing hell of trauma and waste of time to customers.
                                5. Regretfully this Airtel does not have any toll free number for customers complaints, nor they have any email ID to lodge complaints. Why?
                                6. They are making heap of money, millions and billions from the customers every month, but they do not provide toll free number and customer care email ID. Too shameful on their part.
                                7. We contacted them on Airtel paid call services and ask about misleading wrong information by there IVR service but they failed to provide any genuine answer but vague reply only, totally manipulated.
