        I am able to add money to the wallet in airtel app. The problem started when i wanted to pay my electricity bill and i have added some money thinking that i can pay my bill but i cannot, airtel says that debit from this account is not allowed. I tried to use that money for recharges/dth recharge/anything, its not possible, basically they took all my money and locked it and i went to the nearest payments bank outlet and they didnt help me either. I mailed them the problem [protected]@airtelbank.com... They have given me a query number[4574296] and automated reply and left the problem in dust.

          I am trying to recharge my mobile number from airtel app and retailer and i went to airtel store. But the recharge is not happening. I am trying from 3 days with airtel customer care and they say they have escalated. When i call the next day they say issue resolved but it been never getting resolved.in 2 days my service will also get disconnected. Such a pathetic experience i am having and no one is responsible for the customer issue.
          I have converted my airtel from postpaid to prepaid and i have done 1st recharge which is successful this is the second recharge i am trying.

                I had ordered my fastag through my airtel app on 1st dec and i have still not recieved fastag. It shows shipping on status since past 20 days. Although the same has been dispatched on 3rd dec as per message recieved on my mobile. The number 400 provided for helpline has no option register complaints and does not provide option to talk to customer care executive. I am unable to register my complaint anywhere hence raising the issue here.
                This is highly frustrating and i am facing difficulty in daily tavels.

                  I got message that my sim will be by 23/12/12 by 23:28 but it is not activated and my jio sim is deactivated already

                  If i dial my number from other number i get ivr msg that the number does not exist, please check the number.

                  Till now i’m getting the same error message.

                  I tried calling airtel customer care (3 times) but no use no one responded properly and cut the call.

                  Now i’m thinking why i’ve ported to airtel where there is no value for end users.

                  Why you have disconnected the idea network when you are not able give your network?

                  I want full explanation on this.

                    Actually i did a recharge of rs. 149/- from my airtel app via amazon pay (P[protected]. But i didn't received the recharge at that time. After that i called airtel customer care.. They told me that if the recharge is not showing on account then it will be refunded within 10 working days. Also i had contact with amazon customer care (Ref no. [protected]) and they told me that the amount has already paid to airtel so they can't do anything. After that again i did a recharge of rs. 219/- from other wallet because it was very urgent for me at that time. Today i received that 149 recharge but i already placed a complaint against this. Now what i can do with two unlimited plans? I don't need two plans. I need my rs.149/- back. Because i asked them (Airtel) first after that i did another recharge. Airtel has cheated with me. Please take some action against this. Thank you... Hope my issue will be solve soon...!!!

                      Address: Airtel mumbai, 422010

                      Hi myselves Deepak Chaudhari today at noon I received a recharge request for his other Airtel mobile number which was wrong number of someone.And by mistake he sent me that another wrong Airtel number on text message and that wrong number was of someone and is continuously switch off from long. So unknowingly I sent recharge on his given wrong number of amount-219/-by paytm wallet

                      Wrong Number-[protected] (which belongs to maharashtra and being switch off)
                      Correct Number[protected]belongs to Tamil Nadu)
                      Recharge done from-Paytm wallet.
                      Operator Reference Number:-[protected]

                      First of all am being a Airtel customer from long to till.First time I faced such a problem, even i didn't got any co-operation from Airtel customer carers for my issue.

                      So respected sir, with big hopes i requests you here kindly, please reverse/transfer a recharge of RS.219/- from wrong Airtel number to correct Airtel number OR even can refund me to my patm wallet.

                      Also I was contacted to paytm customer carer to cancel or reverse a recharge payment but they replied me-"Please show your operator reference number to Airtel officials because we can't reverse your recharge because Airtel don't allows us to refund or to transfer payment".

                      So from above details please accept my request.Also am attaching recharge payment slip which includes payment details.
                      Hope, you will process my request soon.
                      Thanks with regards.

                        Dear all,

                        Please be aware that airtel is cheating the customers by making them fool. I have recharged with unlimited pack but i cannot dial to the number starts with 1860... It says that they are chargeable... Where other network providers are not restricting the customers to dial any number in india but airtel does restrictions.

                        Please be cautious while recharging unlimited* (In real they are limited). They have so many underlying conditions which makes you surprise. I have been the customer of airtel and saw many such cheating incidents from airtel. Even their customer care also proved and accepted.

                        Please be cautious with airtel!!!

                            Frustrated from airtel network since 1 month. All the time it shows no service. If someone calls the its shows blank or no response/ switch off/ not reachable/ out of coverage area. Horrible network don’t know what to do with airtel.. Already complaint lot of time to customer care but as usual they say that it will be resolved asap but all in vein. Its a request if any of the concern person please look into this matter.. Not only me but all the people near by me is suffering from the same problem.. If anyone can take the initiative then otherwise there are many other networks.

                              I've recently recharged for rs 399 on 23rd december for the 54 day pack with 1.5 gb on the airtel website for my prepaid mobile number. After entering all the details, the amount got debited from my account, but the web page showed an error. Please either resolve the issue and update the recharge or refund the entire money. I have recieved a message from my bank stating that rs 399 has been debited. But no response from airtel.

                                I am using airtel sim card and i am facing an error of call drops from past 2 months which has embarrassed me a lot. The call gets connected and within 2 to 3 secs it gets disconnected showing line busy and mostly it is happening when i am calling on jio numbers. And it happens multiple times even if i call on the same number 3 or maybe 4 times also i start to speak and the call gets disconnected but when they are calling me it does not happen. The most embarrassing incident i called my boss for sharing the report the call kept on disconnecting he called me upfront and told me why are you giving missed calls if you don't have balance then use companys landline it is free. So kindly look into it as we do not pay you such huge amount to get embarrassed.

                                      I had recharged my airtel no. [protected] to avoid incoming deactivation with ₹.20. But still the network provider has deactivated my incoming as well as outgoing. I request the service provider to maintain a fair market service and not to deactivate my incoming and outgoing. It is really unfair to deactivate my services even after the recharge.
                                      I hope the service provider obeys my sincere request.
