I have mistakenly recharged wrong contact number through paytm and i want to cancel the recharge. Please help. This is important.

Please find the details attached.

Reference order: [protected]
Incorrect mobile number : [protected]

I have tried everything to reach out to airtel officers but no luck. Tried contacting on 121,
121,
[protected]@in. Airtel.com,
Appellate. [protected]@in. Airtel.com,
Nodalofficer. [protected]@in. Airtel.com
But did not get any useful reply, all i am receiving is automated replies.

More details:

Number i was trying to recharge was [protected] (Belong to my husband) and is registered with [protected]@gmail.com marked in cc. Which i did recharge second time, just after this recharge.
And the number i tried to recharge with is [protected] (My idea number) linked to paytm account with email id [protected]@gmail.com.

This number [protected] (Where incorrect re-charge was done) does not belong to either o[censored]s and hence we cannot authenticate this number.

    Step 1 - applied for a sim change on 01 may 2018, the sla was 48 hours for activation but the store representative promised lesser time.
    Step 2 - post 48 hours the sim was not active, called up 121 and registered a complaint and was given another 48 hours time line, with promises from the manager that this will be high priority.
    Step 3 - sim still was not active post the 56 hours time line, called 121 and they stated my complaint was "closed" as resolved.
    Question a. Is are airtel shutting down?
    Question b. Is it just balant disregard to thier customers?
    Question c. They have no clue to whats happening?

    Highly frustrating talking to thier customer care and the phrase "sorry" can be heard every second in the conversation!!!

      Sir,
      I have an airtel prepaid number which got deactivated last week because it was not in use but the number is very important to me because it is the only means of contact in many of my documents and government job forms. Incoming and outgoing calls of my number were also barred. How can i reactivate the same number? Please tell the needful.
      I will be very thankful to you.

        I m highly annoyed by the dth service of airtel dth service, my account balance expires 10 days before than the due date, i recharged my airtel dth with the monthly pack of 360 rs. For one month but the account balance expires in 20 days as the company deliberately activates some un necessary activation without giving me any information, i never asked them to activate anything other than my package, for which i pay 360rs. For 1 month, but it's now continued in succession for third time, a fraud is going on here with the airtel dth customers, & company's staffs refuses to do anything, plz help me for this

          I requested for talktime balance recharge but i was mislead by sending me a message for unlimited talk time which i recharged but the balance did not top up. When i put my request in customer care they were very rude to not help me and instead told me to do a different recharge.
          This misleading and rude behaviour will lead the company to loose old customers and loose a good reputation.

                  My setup box stopped working all of sudden. I have raised an issue and the technician arrived after 2 days. He said the setup box needs to be replaced and as they don't have HD -DVR setup box with them. I have to take new connection again. I have 3 months left for the 1 year package I took. They said it won't work and I have to take new connection and get new customer id. It seems it costs 1900 for the new connection.
                  Why would I need a new connection. If they don't have setup box, they should get it from other dealers and replace it. it has been 8 days and still the issue wasn't fixed. When I call the customer care all they say is wait for 24 hours. This has become a joke and they don't have least responsibility to fix the issue.

                      My mobile number was tapped from today morning till evening. A short beep sound is been noticed at relugular intervals. I want to know the details of the person tapped and the reason for it. Any authority had permitted for the same to tap my numbers. I have stopped the signal for some time at 7.00pm for half an hour. Later i have noticed that beep sound is not coming. The same was brought to the notice of commissioner of police. Visakhapatnam in writing also.

                        I have issue with Airtel Internet service.
                        Issue I am facing from more then 10 days.

                        I have frequently chased customer care service and raised the complain but there is no response. Every time customer the matter has been escalated, and will get call back from network team. But still there is no response from Airtel Team.

                        I post paid user I use to pay almost 800 rs per month to Airtel for the service.

                        Please guide with proper step.

                                I had raised a request to split my two set top boxes and transfer one of them to another location on 30 april 2019, at that time they told me i will get a call back from back end team in 48 hrs as they can only split the connection
                                Even after 4 days i have not received any call back
                                I have called customer care thrice since then and every time i get absurd assurance that they will arrange call back in 2 hrs, half hr etc.
                                This is beyond ridiculous, airtel has opened customer care service as a joke and fool people.
                                There is no alternative also apart from talking to these people over phone
                                Airtel should just stop providing services if incompetency level are so high

                                      Dear sir/madam

                                      Yesterday i purchased airtel dthconnection. I had called to airtel dth services center and booked new connection. After 1 hrs airtel dth customer care called me and i told them that i am interested in a new construction for dth. I was asking which channel is are there in the connection. She told your choices i told give me all hind channel, sports, english and news channels, she told rs 292 package all hindi sport and news channel will be coming.
                                      Yesterday dt 02/05/2019 evening 18.15 hrs installed and told 1 hrs active but today 12.10hrs the dth got actived. I checked all channel 80% free channel no hindi sports channels. Airtel dth company never showed us the pamphlet and we never selected any channel of it. I just book new contection online after. They called me 8 to 10 they give us the worng information. I had call customer care and they give worng information about package diteails and about channel.
                                      I told costumer care that if i don't like the channel and services and they should take the set-up box within 24 hrs and they should return the money back. Customer care cannot refund the money back. Dth id no [protected]
                                      Can you take a strict action against them and try to refund my money back.

                                      Thanks & regards
