I cant call any one, I can only receive calls only. Since 2 days. Even if I recharge I am unable to make a call. It's as "this service is temporarily not available " since 2 days I am unable to text or make a call . Plz activate my sim as soon as possible. How can I make a call or text any one .

    It is regarding the fraudulent activity going in name of airtel digital tv, i got several phone calls from various no. S, who is telling my customer id (Id is [protected]) of airtel digtal tv connection, my valid plan and date of validity and balance amount and offered me a three month package by adding some rs.1081/- for getting 3 months validity. Earlier i ignored the offer, but on 15.11.19 call from mobile no. +91 [protected] on 15.55 hours ask me to deposit rs 903/- for a three month validity, up to 22.02.2019. As my plan period was going to be expired so i agreed, caller wanted me to recharge while he was holding the call which i denied. He disconnected the call by saying that he will ring back me after an hour. I recharged my digital tv connection by rs. 910/- and waited for the call. But it didn’t come and finally i called airtel customer care who in turn told me that such offers will be cleared within 48 hours. I again waited for 48 hours but of no avail. I again called customer care on 25.11.19 in the morning who told me that no such offers were given by airtel and my request will not be entertained.
    In whole of the incident if the calls are not made by airtel then i am surprised that how my privacy like id, plan, balance and validity was leaked to some external agencies. Even today i got a similar call offering me a six month package on airtel digital tv (Mobile no. +91 [protected] at 09.28 hrs on 25.11.2019, another call came from mobile no. +91 [protected] at 14.58 hours on 25.11.2019). The case may be taken up with airtel for such leakages so that such fraudulent activity may be stopped and thousand of customers may be saved from such frauds.

        Address: Bhopal, 462016

        I visited airtel store on 25/11/2019 located at bittan market bhopal, where i asked to change my plan from postpaid to prepaid plan
        The executive asked me to pay due amount of rs 270 to change to prepaid.
        I deposited the due amount after which the executive told that within an hour my plan will change to prepaid from postpaid.
        On not updation of plan till today (26/11/2019), i again visited above mentioned store, where he told that my due amount is rs 999.
        After this i called airtel customer care - 121, mr vishal and airtel executice attended the call, in which he told that i have to wait for 1 month to complete billing cycle, and on completion of biiling cycle i will have to pay the bill after a month.
        My greviance is that, i had to wait for the end of billing cycle then why the airtel store executive made me pay rs 270 on 25/11/2019. He should have told me to wait untill end of billing cycle.

            I am ramineni ganesh babu, postpaid user of number [protected] airtel 4g dongle. I would like to deactivate my airtel 4g lte dongle subscription as i am not having airtel 4g signal in marthahalli, bangalore. I have paid all the bills including the recent bill. I tried calling 121 many times but no reponse on my request. I went to airtel store they re-directed me to call 121 again. I am fed up of calling 121 all the time and roaming stores for cancellation. They always redirect me to call 121. This is very bad service from airtel for not deactivating my number [protected] airtel 4g dongle. I am ending up paying monthly bill as i am not using it.

                  Address: Hyderabad, Telangana, 500072

                  I tried to change my broadband plan from myairtel app on 12th october and it requested me to pay 1566.26 extra for the plan change. I tried paying it using my hdfc debit card. The amount got deducted but the app said payment got failed, so i ended up trying again and again the app said payment got failed. I contacted airtel customer care and reported the same. They said both the payments went through and its just some app issue. They said they adjusted 1566.26 that i paid initially for the plan change and would refund the additional amount that i paid by retrying. So far they haven't refunded the amount. They closed my ticket two weeks ago saying the payment is been processed but haven't received anything. Now when i contacted them again they say its gonna take another 10 days. I am fed up with the customer support of airtel. They clearly lack knowlege and courtesy. They way they answer make your blood boil. No matter how many times you question why is it taking so long. They just say its gonna take another few days and ita accounts issue and they can't do anything about it. I'm tired of this wild goose chase for my refund. Wish some one could do something about it. My latest request number is:[protected]. I am from hyderabad.

                  They closed the ticket again saying issue resolved. But haven't received any response. Contacted them again today. Seems like the issue is back to square 1. They said they'd resolve it by December 11th. Seriously??.

                          I stay at kalyan (7th floor) having a airtel tower above, despite that i face low connectivity and network issues. Guest also face a lot of issues.

                          Due to air conditioning we have to keep windows closed, however having tower as near as next floor should not have so much of network and connectivity issues.

                          Data card connectivity and normal calls both are having issues.

                          Please check and do the needful

                            Respected sir i and all the other airtel customers staying this location are severely facing poor coverage issue. I went to airtel store for registering of network complaint. At that time officer told me that your home location is not getting coverage and not possible for boosting. If you want to use please select another network. The boosting option is not possible there. We never provide better coverage right now. I am really cheated by airtel. Very cruel experience.

                            Unable to make or receive calls. Unable to use data services. Very dead cheating sir.

                                  I have ported out from my vodafone number to airtel. My vodafone sim has been deactivated. When i tried to put the new airtel sim and dial 59059 for televerification... Its asks for language preference, tells that televerification is mandatory as per goi regulations and then automatically disconnects without asking for televerification pin.
                                  Please help. I am numberless.

                                    I have recently port my network idea to airtel
                                    Because of network but airtel network is so (ghatiya) bad than the idea
                                    Cellular companies are just making money
                                    They are giving wrong information about network through advertising
                                    I have never experienced such a bad network of airtel
                                    I REALLY TENSED AND WASTING MY MONY

                                        Address: Bangalore

                                        As per indian cellular website 9http://www.india-cellular.com/Lets-Learn/IMEI-Number.html) the network providers should be able to add an imei number of a stolen mobile to there eir (Equipment identity register) refer (http://www.india-cellular.com/Lets-Learn/IMEI-Number.html), so that it will prevent the stolen mobile to be used again. This is a very basic service which every network provider should be providing. I called the airtel customer care and they asked me to visit the sote. The store floor manager said that they are not authorized to block the phone but rather cbi would have to do it and refused that they will not add the imei number to the black list.

                                        I do not understand on what basis they refused my request and i haven't received a satisfying answer from them. Please look into the issue and do the needful.

                                        Thanks
