Hi,
I have 2 airtel numbers as part of My Family plan, I ported in 1 more number form Vodafone to Airtel. though, I added into the same family plan, it was not reflecting as one and it kept generating separate costly bill everytime. this was reported from the time this new number was ported in. Followed with Airtel stores, then customer care and then with Appellate office for more than 2-3 months. now when they did not complete the integration/add on number process, I held my payment due to which my numbers Outgoing is barred. I keep receiving automated calls stating the incoming will also be barred. Due to the need to be on-call support for my work, I initiated the payment from My Airtel app using Amazon pay, and this did not give me confirmation. even after repeated calls and sharing the transaction Numbers given from amazon to Airtel, they are yet to release my numbers. If I happen to loose my job due to incoming calls being barred, I hold Airtel responsible and will demand the compensation of my Job salary.
my number is [protected]

    I can't even browse freely on chrome and also can't even play online football games using airtel network because of the redirection towards onr. Airtel.in/recnnf and i hate this thing it always appears on my screen whenever i tried to browse after recharging with an airtel data pack. This seems so disturbing and annoying as i cannot do whatever i want.

      I was using postpaid family plan with 3 sim cards i complain to airtel customer care about the issue i was facing which was
      1. I was never getting 4g network in all of 3 sim cards in different places
      2. There was a continuous network problem in major places (My friends were calling me and they were getting "number is busy" which was a lie (I also checked my blocked contact list in which those number was not added in block list)
      3. I did complain about this in 22nd june and they told me it will be resolved in next 1 week, i kept checking in airtel app in open complain tab and my case was on hold for 45 days (It was never resolved) then i went to airtel customer store and they gave me email id to complain with some screenshot of network tower and internet service i was getting (4g, 3g, e). So i did email on "nodalofficer. [protected]@in. Airtel.com" and they told me it will be resolved in a few days.

      In the end, i plan to quite airtel after sending at least 5 emails because their reply was the same all the time rather than solving the problem.

      They cheat me with a new plan and put my sim card on a new contract so now i cannot change network for at least 90 days.

      Airtel sucks..

          I'm having internet issues with my network provider, airtel for last 1 year. I've contacted them several times on different platforms like twitter, customer care etc. But i've not gotten proper assistance. They always asks me for time but they never gets back to me and they keeps sending me a link which shows that network quality in my area (Peshwa road, gole market, new delhi - 110001) is excellent, that in reality is not true. Recently, i've recharged my phn no. With rs 169 monthly pack but i'm not able to use it. So, request you to look into the matter as soon as possible and help me getting my money back.

            I applied for broadband disconnection in february 2019. I received 2 confirmation calls from the airtel team and was said the connection would be cut in next 1 month.
            But nothing happened. Then again i raised a request in june end (Or july 1st week) and i again got around 6-7 confirmation calls for disconnection each time being assured that connection would be cut and won't be receiving any further calls.
            And now in august 1st week i have received a bill of inr 400, don't know how and why. And i wasn't using the broadband from march and didn't receive and bills too but now have got one and for nothing.

                          I was a prepaid customer till april 2019 and at that time airtel network was not that good but it was adjustable. I had to go to the us for my personal work and when i approached the local airtel outlet in bhubaneswar, they told me that they don't have otp services available abroad for pre-paid customer.in order to have the otp facility, i need to convert to post paid customer. I agree and i did that.in the us i didn't get any otp services. Somehow i managed my work there. When i came back to india, i complained about the same and asked them to convert my no. To pre-paid, to which they said it's not possible. Post paid customer cannot become a pre-paid customer, but the vice versa is possible.

                          Since june 2019, i am having a network problem. I have registered a complaint on 12th june, but nothing has been done till now. Every time, they make false promises like superior member or technician will reach out to you in 24 hrs and others but in reality, nothing they do.

                          I want to do mnp now, but before that, i want to tell airtel that you can not cheat your customers.

                            I had called airtel on 3rd july 2019 and requested for 1499 pack activation for 10 days romaing in thailand for my travel starting 6th july to 12th july

                            It was not activated and now i have a bill of more than 4500

                            I decided to pay the bill and port but on 10th of july retention team called me and said that it seems its a mistake from their side and charges would be waived off once bill is generated on 24th july. On 24th july i called customer care and now they are refusing waiver saying i have deactivated my pack, which i havent. Also, appelate and nodal teams are not replying despite sending mails on 31st july 2019.

                            These charges are false and airtel has accepted that its in the 3rd july notes that i have requested data pack worth 1499 activation. I am not ready to pay this false inflated charge

                                Hi

                                Am receiving unnecessary calls from[protected]. There is a lady calling and asking for someone named sangeetha. I informed her twice she got a wrong number but she doesn't seem to understand

                                The lady is repeatedly calling me and now her tone and mode of communication is irritating. Looks like someone has given my number to her incorrectly and she doesn't understand that at all

                                I have blocked the number but i want to register a complaint

And there are no helpline numbers to actually talk about the issue . The service is not worth the price of the plans they provide. Kindly solve my problems as soon as possible.
