I have recharged my set top box id [protected] with rupees 300/- on 18.02.2020 for safe custody of one set top box id [protected] - 002 for 6 months and in another set top box i told them to recharge channel no 193 (Miniplex hd) and another channel no 235 (& xplore hd) for a month. Initially both the channel was active but after a week or so both the channel were showing message "this channel is not part of your package". Initially i lodge a complaint with customer care they assure me to get a call back within 24 hours but no call came to my registered mobile. On 09.03.2020 i again lodge the same complaint and they told me that it will be resolved within the next four hour. They didn't even provide any complaint number. Today i also made a complaint but the same thing happened. On previous several occasions they might deduct my account balance without informing me. But this i just have the proper details. As i'm presently having annual subscription till june 2020 so i don't want to switch providers it actually provides me certain loss of my hard earned money. Today i got the docket no after requesting for the same. The docket no is 22442393. I appeal you to penalise the company with minimum rs 1.00 lakh along with my annual subscription charges. They are cheating people and they provide me mental harrasment.

With a such poor customer satisfaction rating why they are allowed to do business in our country. Such a shame

        I have been used airtel for more than 10 years now for my mobile. Suddenly today i get a message that out going calls will be barred on this number. I have been paying all my bills on time. I have airtel for my landline at home and my wife also uses airtel.

        I called their support and they have taken a complaint and i am told it could take up to 8 days to resolve!!!

        So for the next 8 days i cannot make calls or receive calls.!!

          My mobile number [protected] got international roaming activated, without my consent. Now i have been charged rs.4498 + tax as one time charges. Further rs.470.20 as usage charges (In next bill).
          I made complaint about this and asked for waiver of the amount, through e-mail. There is a lengthy activity of mails and replies. But there is no solution for me. They are adamant about getting the amount paid by me.
          When i visited indian customer complaints forum, i saw so many people made the very same complaint and nobody got any remedy.
          It seems to be a regular practice by airtel and this is like pick pocketing from the customers.
          Can you guide me how to make this as a complaint to trai or can i get solution for this through consumer court.

            I'm not able to receive one time password (Otp) for the verification of my airtel number with any apps for logging in... Like whatsapp, telegram etc. Even the airtel app!!!
            The request for otp is processed and i receive the same only after a day or so and thus i find it difficult to log in to my social media account.
            This problem is troubling me a lot... It's sad to say that this has been going on for past two days...
            Please do make a solution for this problem as soon as possible.

              Dear sir,

              My number [protected]. My sim got into no service mode 9 march night. Then i went to the nearest airtel service place which is 50 km away from my place. They swap the number into a new blank sim.

              Told me to put it into mobile after 24 hours. I did the same.
              Then after that one message came
              Dear customer, your new airtel sim is active please restart your handset.

              Afterward it went no sim service again.

                Dear sir
                After lodging complains here on slow 4g speed of airtel in my prepaid [protected], the aforesaid company has deducted 1 day from 4g data pack validity. My previous airtel 4g data pack was valid until 11th april, which is reduced to 10th april 2020. The pop up msg (Not saved msg) came this morning saying "as per government rule 1 day has been deducted from your 4g data pack". I still don't know what offence i made to encounter such grievance.
                Is it that a punishment for posting complaints here, plse rectify.
                And if this continue people will lose belief on government law and enforcement.

                  My data balance in the prepaid airtel number which i use in my mobile all of a sudden showed the balance as 0, shockingly as i had unused balance of 1.5 gb and my recharge date was on[17 feb 2020]. How can you deduct the unused balance? I need this issue to be addressed and suitable explanation with the balance to be reversed to my account. This has happened to me the 2nd time in the past 2 days which is why i now come to realize that airtel service provider is none better than the rest which they otherwise claim to be.

                      Why everytime when my balance goes above 60 you deduct rs 60 from my main balance. It happened 4 times till now. This is a pure scam. When i contact the customer care they say that you called a special number & that too of 13 secs. Everytime they say the exact same duration of call. But in real no call goes from my side. Yesterday (10.03.2020) i recharged with Rs49 & previously had more balance & today when I checked it showed Rs 2. If I don't get any proper reason & don't receive my refund in main balance. Then it's High time to register a case in consumer court.

                        The signal for airtel is very poor in our area and we are facing a lot of problem while attending important calls. I am unable to hear others properly on call nor do others hear me.
                        Signal bar shows only one line. Voice breaks while on the call. Facing this issue from almost 2 years. The experience we have with airtel is pathetic and we have many airtel sims at our home.
                        Need resolution for this...

                                unable to make a call even with a valid unlimited call plan

                                My unlimited will expire after 13 days. Still i'm unable to make a call. When icall someone, it says 'u do not have sufficient balance to make a call'. I've tried shifting network type, also i tried to make a call with mobile data off but still not able to make a call. It is very disappointing to bear such problems. Pls fix this issue as soon as possible....

                                Address: electronic city phase 1, Bangalore, Karnataka, 560100

                                I have recharged the telephone number [protected] on 20th feb 2020 with inr 551 through airtel payment bank. The transaction id is [protected]. The payment was made through airtel payment bank associated with number [protected].
                                Despite this recharge, bsnl has barred all outgoing from the number [protected] and have not credited the recharge amount to this number.

                                I want to confirm if airtel has paid the amount to bsnl at all? The amount has been taken from my account for which there is a transaction id. But i have no proof from them if this amount was actually paid to bsnl. I tried reaching them on phone but they cc rep was not clear how he can prove this amount was paid to bsnl. I wrote to them at their wecare email id and i have not got any response yet.

                                I need airtel to confirm thsi amount was paid to bsnl and provide me the proof of this transaction so that i can quote it to bsnl and get my rightful recharge.

                                Sir my airtel prepaid number [protected] is issued through my brother's id but now I want to change the ownership and connect it to my id.
                                Please help me out.
