My airtel broadband landline no. Is[protected]

My landline is not working since my connection was updated to optical cable (3-4- wks ago).

Repeated complaints have failed to solve the problem. Engineers even told me to change my handset which i did to no benefit.

Am very dissatisfied as a customer.

Please take urgent corrective action.

    I changed from prepaid to postpaid services. After porting the number inserting the new sim, i was supposed to call on 59059 for tele-verification with the which was sent in a message.
    However, when i called today... The call is not going through. It displays that we were unable to process your request. I am missing out on all important calls. Kindly assist asap.

      Hello, on 4-nov-2019, i have cleared by postpaid bill amount of rs.1029, through airtel app using amzon wallet. But for unknown reasons the transaction had been split into 3 different transactions for rs. 343 each. And on 5 — nov-2019 two of these transactions are reversed saying duplicate. I. E., total amount of rs. 686. But this amount was not refunded into my amazon wallet. Many complaints are raised on this with customer care, nodal officer and appellate office. They just close the ticket saying contact amazon on this.

      Amazon says, there is only a single transaction for rs. 1029 and airtel had acknowledge the same saying they received the amount.

      What had happened to rs.686 which was reversed on 05-nov-2019.
      Both airtel nor amazon are telling to contact each other.

      I have attached the transaction details, i need you people to look it on priority, and stop charging late payements charges on my postpaid account

                  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 mailed to 121 and provided requisite details like phone number, recharge amount etc they replied after 2-4 days and I got the stuck money shifted to my another Airtel mobile number, please provide alternate Airtel numbers since I think they can't return unused recharge/wrong recharge money to banks

                            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...!!!

                                  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.
