        Hello,

        I am writing here to you get aware with my concern about airtel. The day before yesterday (15/4/2019) i have recharged my mobile number with rupees 598 i. E combo pack. I have started reaching airtel the day itself, but still the solution is pending and no proper response from their side. I have tried reaching via call cutomer and also writing email to support team.in this pandemic situation i can't connect with my home and friends as i am working away from native. Usually i will call my family daily. But last two days can't able to contact my family due to my old plan expired and they repeatedly suggesting me to recharge through ivr, its ridiculous and furious.

        Please help me to get my amount back asap.

        Regards,
        Dinesh

          I never signed up for postpaid on prepaid number for airtel. I made an enquiry for airte postpaid connection and got a new postpaid connection. Now i'm getting postpaid payment notification for my prepaid number.
          I checked on airtel thaks app and showing my prepaid connection as postpaid now.

          I didnt signed up for this. And i tried to contact airtel customer care. Only ivr self help options available. Couldnt find any articles in faq in airtel website/application.

          Dute to covid-19 lockdown i'm unable to visit any airtel store to enquire about this.
          I want an action that to restore my prepaid connection.

                  Hello,

                  On 14th of april 2020, i had recharged for rs.598 (Valid for 84 days-1.5gb/day), through airtel thanks app. To this recharge a coupon of rs.40 was applied in the airtel thanks app. The money was deducted from my account, but i couldn't see the recharge reflecting in my account. I checked with the 'transaction history' in airtel thanks app several times, and couldn't find the transaction.

                  So kindly look into the issue at the earliest, as additional rs.45 will deducted from my balance.

                  Regards,
                  Arjun n l

                    Dear sir,

                    I was holding airtel number [protected]. By entering wrong passwords the sim got blocked. I need a puk code to use this airtel sim card. I am enclosing my aadhar card & copy of sim card for your reference. Actually, i think the number is under my nephew's name (Mohammed habeebuddin sameer), write now he is not here he is in the united kingdom studying there for future studies. I request you to change my name or send me a puk number to unlock the phone at the earliest.

                    I hope you will do the needful at the earliest as my bank accounts are linked with this number.

                        My airtel broadband stopped working in February 2020. I had called customer care multiple times in the same month but the issue was not resolved. I asked for deactivation of the services on the call, but again nothing was implemented.

                        After that, the landline that was provided to me with the broadband stopped working and there was no way for me to reach customer care on phone. I sent an email to airtel customer care on March 21, 2020. I got no response, it has been more than 25 days. Moreover, I get a call on my mobile every now and then to pay the bill for the last two months, but when I ask them to discontinue their services, I get no help in the same.

                                  I have ported my sim from dolphin to airtel but even after so many days i am not able to recharge the airtel number. Everytime it shows recharge failed when i select the operator as airtel and my incoming and outgoing services are stopped. But when i select the operator as dolphin the recharge is successful but my dolphin sim shows no service when i insert it in the mobile.
                                  Please resolve this.

                                      I have recharged through airtel thanks giving app and payment was done through upi bhim. My money rs 399 was deducted from my account but app is not showing that transaction and my pack is expired. Airtel customer care is not getting connected and its the worst experience. I want my refund or recharge to be done as soon as possible because it is expired

                                        I have made the payment for fibernet connection for rs. 942 on march 18, despite the assistance given by senior and other team, we are still struggling with the internet connection. The caf [protected] and the transaction id is[protected]. The airtel executive visited us on april 4 and placed the set up box with no connectivity and assured us that the connection will be up and working by april 6. Then again the executive visited us april 12 and assured that this be taken up soon. I am extremely fed up with the services and wanted them to either fix the issue or refund by money back.
