      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

                    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,
                    Sachin Sharma

                        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.

                            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.

                                    My complaint reference I'd is
                                    3418625
                                    So far neither Airtel company nor distributor bothered to answer my problem, 10days passed, iam not able to recharge my valued customer, they have to walk a mile to recharge Airtel
                                    The Airtel company does not look after the retailers complaint who done a recharge of Airtel for more than 15years
                                    I don't understand what type of management, it is really pity to note
                                    Atleast have a query, what problem the retailers are facing.
                                    Even today sun dth, Vodafone, and BSNL distributor send the distributor representative to EC AMOUNT and collect the money from retailers
                                    Why Airtel cannot follow the same rules
                                    Kindly look into the matter and do the needful,
                                    Thankyou

                                      I have received two messages from customer care regarding the activation of numbers. I attempted to contact the Airtel customer care and complaint, however was not able to register the complaint.
                                      The details of the messages received are as follows:

                                      Thank you for your interest in Airtel! We have received your request for activation of mobile number [protected] with transaction reference no.(CAF no.) I[protected]. The same will be activated with in 10 minutes.

                                      Thank you for your interest in Airtel! We have received your request for activation of mobile number [protected] with transaction reference no.(CAF no.) A13A1E29WE. The same will be activated with in 10 minutes.

                                      This request was not made by me. I want to lodge a complaint against fake sms and activation of number for which I have not applied.
                                      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
