              Porting to the airtel network ain't that easy. It's been 5 months and my sim is not yet ported from jio network to airtel network and the customer service in vijayawada, andhra pradesh they got good training in making their customer wait and visit them frequently cuz they won't solve your problem in any single visit. ☹️. Still waiting for them to solve my problem.
              Hoping for the good.

                    During my abroad trip with my family Bangalore was the hub. That time I lost my mobile some where. Same day 13september 2019 I directly went to Airtel showroom and requested for Deactive my old sim card and apply for new one due to security reasons. They took my photo, I'd proof and all and charged 15 rs for sim. And I told them about my abroad trip. So they activated gulf pack for one week. I purchase a new phone and inserted new SIM. But it was not activated during my travel dates and next tow days when I reached my home town. Again I quired about this to Airtel showroom at Cochin and I realised the old sim was still active which inserted in my lost phone. During this time this sim is active and some one received my personal and official text messages and notifications. Dear authority who is responsible which the security issues happened to me during this time. I don't know how to trust Airtel . So many times I mailed to nodal team and I experienced cold response .

                      I ported to airtel, [protected] frc not working, even no messages regarding this from airtel. I am very much worry why i ported to airtel. Airtel put customers into worries, even not doing for free, collecting money for frc. I went to airtel shops for frc becoz online frc not allowed, wasted my time, airtel store person time etc etc. I got payment rejected 2 times and money in wallet idle. I dont know when it get done and i get any information on this from airtel to do frc and start using airtel or not

                        I had sent a port request to airtel on 1900 but there was no action taken. After around four to five requests made, the executive calls and then removes all my numbers from the family plan and i get to know they stopped my process without converting to prepaid and i have to pay thrice the bill amount because they themselves chose a bill plan for me and now i get three bills to pay. I have already spent 20 days behind this thing and no idea how many more days do i have to spend over this. No doubt airtel like a company is in debt. Stop posing the blame on jio. Jio provided with good services and gave whatever they promised. Customers are switching from airtel to jio for the very same reason.

                                no incoming calls/messages after porting to airtel

                                I was having a terrible experience with my vodafone postpaid network and so i decided to port to airtel prepaid. I got all the processes done and finally my number got ported to airtel. After porting what i realized is that i am able to use the internet and outgoing services but i am not receiving any calls or messages. I tried calling my number using another phone but it says that the number is invalid. I also tried sending texts to my number...

                                I am using Airtel Broadband. On 3 occasions someone without my knowledge has uploaded over 100 GB of data from my Airtel broadband account. Chances that I was hacked are very remote and no devices were connected to my router for so long that over 100 GB would get uploaded.

                                I escalated the matter but they are not providing any support help or facilitation in investigating.

                                I now believe that someone in Airtel broadband has used my connection. Their security is faulty. There's no way to change or set password. It is given by Airtel so their employees know it. There's no MAC authentication so someone can log in from elsewhere.

                                Please be careful while availing Airtel broadband services

                                  Hi, I am Nikhil Tikhe.
                                  My mobile no.[protected].
                                  From last 3 days I am trying to send port message to 1900.
                                  But getting message as "Request could not be processed.Please try after some time".
                                  I have also paid my outstanding amount, still cant do port.
                                  Customer care is saying from last 2 days to call after 2 hours everytime.
                                  They even not taking my complain.
                                  Is there any other way to port the service?
                                  Or Airtel needs to resolve my query.

                                    I in spite of many mails and visiting airtel store am unable to recharge by airtel prepaid from my main account balance airtel has not replied to my last two mail. The process of trying to recharge has been going on for the past twenty days or so, this amounts to cheating and harassment. Of the customer as i have a balance of more than rs.3000/in my main account balance and surprisingly there is no provision in their app to recharge with main balance and the self care number given in the mail say invalid input against the relevant option number.

                                      Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 399 and had activated a pack for next 84 days.

                                      Next using 'phone pe' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 448 and pack for next 82 days.

                                      I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

                                      Now they refused to refund. And told me that the your money waste. We can't do anything.
