I have port out my Idea number [protected] to Airtel on 02/09/2019. I left india on 06/09/2019 to US. After i reached US i got a text on my alternate number on 07/09/2019 to change the sim and perform televerification. Now i am in international roaming and cannot perform televerification. As there is no network on my phone to call 59059. Every time i try to call it says no mobile network. As of now my number is not working. Seeking help for any alternate way to perform televerification or do it post first recharge.

    I am not able to recharge my phone offline or online from the last 1 week. Money is getting debited but the recharge is failing every single time. Please help immediately. Unable to make calls.

    I went to the customer care in karnataka but they said my circle is andhra pradesh, and i should go there and check. How can i travel to ap to get my phone checked. Why can't the customer service be of any help.

      Because of airtel's fault bill was not updated correctly in june month. Since 3rd july, 2019 my outgoing and internet services got blocked because of billing which was airtel's fault as they were not able to update it correctly.
      Now they keep sending each month bill along with previous month. They have disconnected my number and asking for payment of bill.

      I have sent around 20 emails and called multiple times but all time i get one response that they are working on priority to fix issue.

                  I have lost my mobile phone with airtel simcard. There's no email registered and i call using my other airtel number - the airtel executives are not able to fetch any details about the mobile number although i have been paying bills every month including the one for last month.

                  I have sent emails to [protected]@airtel.com but i only get an auto reply saying that the mobile number is not registered.

                      Airtel signal internet speed is pathetic in this area. Complained multiple times to customer care, but they preach only what has been taught, “Signal strength shows excellent, please restart phone and check”

                        I've ported my number [protected] from airtel maharashtra circle to airtel mumbai circle on 31st august 2019.

                        But my old sim stopped working in 4th september and when i inserted my new sim card then i am getting message "mobile network not available", now currently my both (Even the old one) sim cards are not working.

                        My retailer then gave me a new sim card saying may be there is issue with the sim. He also said it will get activated in 2 hours. But thanks to your "great" service. It is still not working.

                        Then i contacted on a customer care number. I spoke to the "expert" guy. He said it will take 7 days to port my number and in this period both the cards (Old one also) won't work. C'mon guys! 24hours is fine but 7 days??? Are you kidding me?

                        I also dropped a mail to airtel. Firstly they said this number is not registered user. Then they said this number is not registered under this email id and they are providing me a registration link.
                        How would i register my number when i can't get otp on it??? What are you guys doing?

                        Frankly speaking i am frustrated with the service that i am getting from you guys. This is my primary number and i'm frustrated because my both sims are not working now.

                        Please make my number operational otherwise tell me who will be responsible for the loose that i will go through because of inactiveness of sim.

                        If you are not able to port my number then at least start my old sim.

                        Hoping my issue will be resolved asap.

                        My number is [protected]

                          I am a 6-month old airtel postpaid user. I intend to use this network for voice, video calling & internet browsing etc. The issue with this network is that since beginning of the month i started this connection, there was vigorous call-drops in between. Numerous cross connections faced. Even though the situation gets worsen when i do browsing.
                          And each day, the same problem is faced, even after repeated complaints being lodged.
                          Instead i pay rs 600 on average each month with rs 499 plan.

                          The authorities don't intend to solve the problem, rather lodging complaints only... The same issue being reiterated each & every time i get call from technical team.

                          It's pathetic to continue with this connection anymore, number portability is the only option left, after paying hefty amount every month.

                          My suggestion, is improve quality of your connection and retain existing customers, otherwise bulk of people are planning to shift to jio.

                          The worst is gonna be coming for u.

                              Sir, i am a regular airtel customer for more than 5 years. And they deduct balance frequently from my account. Yesterday 5th sept. They deduct rs 26.65 as soon as as i recharge my number. I didn't get any message from airtel. I recharge my sim every month. I couldn't call them because both the customer care numbers 121 and 198 are chargeable. And my current balance is 0.1. Seeking a reasonable reply from airtel as soon as possible. Thank you.
                              Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                  Address: Vellore district, Vellore, Tamil Nadu

                                  I lost mobile (No. [protected]) on 05th august'2019 and blocked my prepaid sim card. I submitted required documents for name/user change to get sim card at gudiyattam airtel office, vellore district, tamil nadu.

                                  Even after 21 days, i didn't get my prepaid sim card for the number: [protected]. Every day i am calling airtel office for sim card and airtel staffs says that they will call back once it is ready.

                                  But i think, they will never call me as they are not interested to work.

                                  I am suffering because of poor service by gudiyattam airtel office.

                                  Please take necessary action to get my sim card.

                                        I have an airtel prepaid connection and i have been using axis bank credit card so whenever i face any issue with axis bank credit card then i call to axis bank credit card support team.

                                        The axis toll-free helpline numbers are below

                                        [protected]
                                        [protected]

                                        But when i call from my airtel number then each time airtel company deducted amount from my balance.

                                        I also call from my jio number then no amount detected by jio.

                                        One more thing is that when i call to axis bank helpline and once i connect with axis helpline and the computer tells some instructions for example i mentioned below.

                                        If you want to get information about your credit card so please press this number.
                                        This is the time when airtel start balance deduction from computer instructions and continue deduct the amount while service executive are busy.

                                        I am attaching a screenshot for your reference.
