    Hi,

    Since last 1 month i was not able to surfing the internet on my mobile number [protected].

    As per customer representative advice i have updated my sim card to 4g.

    Currently i have good internet quality but since i have change my sim card to 4g my sms services are not activate.

    I not able to receive any kind of text on my number.

    Even my otp, banking messages all are off since last 20 days.

    (Nowadays in digital platform how can we survive without such facilities)

    I have complained about this in customer care so many times.

    Every time they are promising to resolve the complain within 24 to 48 hours. But till now i have not receive a single call in this regard from airtel.

    I'm really frustrated with such a disgusting behaviour of such reputed company.

    Even in the last effort i'm thinking to use the port service and change the service provider, but even not able to send text message to 1900 also.

    I hope this platform will help me for my solution.

      I ported my number to airtel on 27th sept 2019. Since from the day one i am not receiving any calls when people from idea and vodafone are calling me. They are getting message that 'this number does not exist'. I am receiving calls from other networks like jio, bsnl and airtel. I have raised almost 3/4 complaints and every time has gone through the painful process of explaining every thing to the new person talking to me. I received calls from multiple people with the same question — if the issue is resolved!! But till the date there is no resolution to my problem. Getting better network is another issue, but i was just asking to resolve my incoming call issue...
      Seems airtel team is not having the required technical expertise or they are simply not interested. This is the worst service i have received so far from any service provider and just waiting to get this legal period over so i can port my numbers to some other network.

      I've ported my no.([protected]) from Vodafone to Airtel and i've also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and tells the number is invalid. Alternate mobile no ([protected])

          It's been 10 hours since my old sim stopped working after porting into airtel from jio. However, my new airtel sim shows "no service". It may be noted that as per telecommunication mobile number portability regulations, 2009, an operator, in the mnp process, can only disrupt the services of a customer of a maximum of 2 hours that too at night. It's been 10 hours now and my number is not activated. This is leading to a severe loss to me. The customer care is also not helping me in this regard and no reply has been received from your end after i emailed 121 and nodal officer about this same. Highly frustrated!

              I tried to recharge my airtel mobile - [protected] with Rs. 399 for which I received the following message through SMS. Bill payment of Rs. 399.00 has been initiated towards your airtel mobile [protected]. Txn ID:[protected]. The payment will get posted to your airtel account within maximum 4-hours. Please keep this Txn ID for future reference. However, after deducting the amount from my bank the package was not activated nor the money is refunded back to my bank account which is strange. I urge the authorities to kindly look into this issue at the earliest.

              Thanks,

                    I'm one of the resident of vn reddy nagar colony. We are facing very poor signal strength in my location. There are 3 airtel users in my house. Due to this problem data also not exceeding more than 500 mb. It leads to the waste of paying prepaid balance. Please take the necessary steps to solve this issue as soon as possible 🙏.
                    Thank you for asking customer feedback.

And their behavior also really bad with me the way they talk and the amount of time they took (about 20 minutes) please help me because it happens with me alot of times but i ignore but right now this is serious. Thanks

                            I was asked to pay the activation fee and promised same day installation. I paid the activation fee on 09.12.2019. ( Payment Confirmation attached ).It has been 3 days since and even after calling the representative at [protected] about 18 times, the service has not been activated yet. This is sheer irresponsibility and to some extent cheating through false promise on part of Bharti Airtel and its representatives.The nodal office number of Airtel for Karnataka circle is[protected]. I want full refund of the paid amount in the original account it was paid from.
                            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                              Have been trying to reach out to Airtel escalation, social media team and also customer care since past 8days. They have no information on why & how my connection type was changed. Their backend team is the only one who supposedly has access to check, and they have not even touched the tip of my case/complaint yet.
                              Have been tweeting n NO response

                              No response to the Nodal officer yet.
                              The number updated on Airtel website is also false and even after entering the SR number, there is no response.

                              Pathetic service by Airtel as it has been over 24 days now since the complaint has been made.

                                    I recharged my no [protected] with a three month recharge on 02 Dec 2019 through Airtel app as it was showing some scheme. Although my recharge was due on 10 Dec 2019. I received two txn id which I didn’t notice that time. But now my phone was not recharged after 10 Dec for the said recharge. And it says my outgoing and internet facilities have been removed and can receive incoming calls for next 5 days now or else recharge to use.
                                    I can share both of my txn id if required. I tried contacting costumer care from other users phone but they didn’t do much about it and have few lame reasons to just end it.
                                    Please help.
