My sim suddenly showed no network available. I have been using this sim on my samsung phone for more than a year. But suddenly shows no network. But the sim works fine on other phones. And other sim of different companies works on my phone too. I cant reach airtel customer care. I tried calling customer care number by using the sim on other phone but cant talk to them directly. Also due to the lockdown i am not able to go to the showroom. So check the number and provide the reason why the sim doesnt work on my phone. It shows it could not be registered. I tried manually connecting to network but it doesnt work.

      Ever since i had the misfortune of recharging my data pack for my airtel number, i can no longer visit any site on the internet without getting redirected to one. Airtel.in. It has become something of a torture, for it has been close to 6-7 hours and it still keeps happening. Happens on both my phone and desktop browsers (Chrome, firefox and opera).

      I have reset all my browsers twice, changed and reset my apn data, cleared browser cookies, restarted my mobile 10+ times, swapped sim slots. Nothing. No matter what url i type in my browser, it'll automatically change the url to one. Airtel.in and redirect every site traffic.
      It is a big shame that airtel spams their customers with this [censored]bag of a site especially after a fresh recharge. What if i had an exam form to fill online? Would airtel be responsible if i could not fill up an application and passed the deadline just because airtel decided to redirect every single url to one. Airtel.in for more than 10 hours?

      I know my pc or browsers are perfectly okay because my i can browse the net normally with my jio number as hotspot. The problem starts the moment i change my hotspot to airtel number in my dual sim smartphone.
      I expect this to be resolved as soon as possible otherwise there's a storm coming your way.

        I have recharged a wrong number by mistake with unlimited pack of ₹598 and done the payment through India Post Payments Bank. It's been 2 days I'm trying to contact to Airtel customer care, but no one is picking up the call. Please help me to revert it. I want to start the outgoing of my number and want my money back in form of recharge as soon as possible. Please consider my complaint and guide me.

After checking the data it's showing the 30 gb alone. Seriously i'm saying i didn't use that much data. It's literally fake us badly how possible we can use that much in one day for me. I'm the only person using the internet in the home.

                    I have requested for recharge for rs.49 as on date 22.04.2020 for my mobile number thru e mail on 21.4.20. My sim have been recharged from rs 45 instead of rs 49 just for validity extension so that no talk time is given. I tried to call to customer service they are not picking the phone
                    This is not my personal problem they should have some policies to help customers. They are just money minded people. They are just for name to worldwide service.

                          Sir, i recharged my number [protected] from airtel app on 24 april 2020 morning. The plan i selected was rs.598. After applying rs.40 coupon, i paid rs.558/- from sbi debit card. Airtel app displayed a message that the transaction is pending and i'll get update within 8 hours. After 10 minutes, i received transaction successful message in email from sbi but even after more than 30 hours, my account is still not recharged. Also i've not received the refund as should be the case with a failed transaction. I've tried contacting the customer care through phone calls but yet have not seen any option to directly talk with their agent. My emails are also unanswered. Also i tried contacting them on twitter but they simply ignored my messages and tweets. Please either give me a refund or complete the recharge.

                            I have been trying to contact broadband customer care for several days now. There has been no response, my complaint has been registered for days now. I even approached twitter for a speedy redressal of my complaint but i got a call from the social media manager, who did not even transfer my case and gave me false information about registering my complaint.

                            It is highly frustrating, disappointing and disgusting to keep paying for the service which is not even being provided to me. I have paid for my airtel bill religiously every month despite not being able to use it for 2 months now. I request you to kindly get the broadband removed as i am not interested in using airtel services anymore. If this is not resolved in next 24 hours, i will have no option but to approach the consumer court.

                                I have mistakenly recharged Rs 398 to [protected] which is not 4G enabled SIM. Hence kindly initiate refund to the original payment account

                                Payment Details are as follows:
                                Order Date: 05-April-2020
                                Order Number :[protected]
                                Recharge Amount: Rs 398
                                Operator Ref no: [protected] (Amazon)

                                Ideally the after entering the airtel number, the system should permit to pick the 4G services since the SIM is not support the 4G services.
                                Even I am not able to contact the customer care as the call is not diverting to the customer care people at all
                                Nodal and appellate officer is not responding the mal.
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
