      Tried calling airtel customer care many times, but no response from airtel related to my issue.

      I am not able to receive any incoming text sms or otp's into my airtel number, please look into the issue and resolve the thing asap.

      Either provide me with the number where i can directly talk to the customer care and resolve the issue, becuase this issue is where i am stucked.

        I paid my airtel bill on 30th march using google pay and the transaction failed. Assuming that the money will be refunded to my bank account i made another payment for my bill via myairtel app and completed the transaction.

        However, it has been 30 days now and the money is not refunded. I confirmed from hdfc bank that the amount is credited to airtel and then spoke to customer care, nodal office and twitter support but they have not resolved the issue.

        This is a real blunder from airtel. Please help

          Iam a airtel dth customer

          As per the trai rules operators offered us some channel bouquets and sun broadcasters are having two packs name sun kerala basic and sun kerala hd

          The basic pack includes 4 channels and basic hd also includes 4 channel but in basic hd surya hd channel is not included in airtel but the sun broadcasters have included it and when i call airtel dth they say surya hd was added only few months ago but it have been 3 month i think they said you have to chose it as alacarte for rs.19 with tax. Why i have to chose like that with extra money there are many packs like this in airtel dth and other dth and cable also which not include all channels but the channel will be available as a la carte. So trai must warn all cable and dth operator to give all channel which is included in broadcaster bouquets and are available in their dth platform. Iam also uploading the proof.

              I have upgraded my sim from 2g to 4g yesterday evening on 28 april, 2019 (Sunday). Until 10 am also my sim is not activated. I have called several times to customer care and also messaged on 121 for sim activation but in vain. Being such a reputable telecom service provider, i did not expected such a wasteful service. The urgency is that i am traveling today and i wanted to upgrade my sim so that, before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, my sim starts working. Please take it on priority. Looking forward to a quick action.

                  Hey, I have done a recharge of 169 using paytm and my father also recharge the same amount in a shop. Is there any way to get refund.
                  I am worried that the network coverage is very worst in this airtel. They say you would get network in Himalayas also. But first tell them to provide tower in main areas. Damn lie in this network. I don't like this airtel. I want to change my network.

                        Hi,

                        I am resident of eros sampoornam greater noida. We have common satellite disc in our tower. Last month dth it did not work for 3 days. 2 weeks ago it was not working for 2 days on weekend (Code b001), now today again it is showing b001 code and signal is coming.

                        We are not getting services properly, and airtel is charging on daily basis, whether dth is working or not.

                        Why should we pay for the day it is not working.

                        Thanks
                        Ashutosh

                            I have purchased this new set top box from airtel recently. Since i was going out of town for next 2 weeks, i didn't recharge my account. Now my dth subscription has got suspended which is fine.

                            Problem that i am facing now is i am not able to watch anything like prime video or zee5 or voot. I don't understand how these two are related since these apps should run with or without my airtel account getting suspended. Airtel customer care doesn't even have an idea about what i am talking about.

                            I would like them to take back their stb and return my money.

                            tried to recharge my mobile phone on 21.04.19 with Rs 149, amount got deducted from my SBI account,
                            paid to Talence technologies, but not got recharged till now
                            Airtel is liable to be sued in courts by consumer groups and individuals as it is promising unlimited local and STD calls on it's prepaid 399/- plans but is not allowing 1860 calls, so it is commiting a fraud on customers, my number is [protected]
                            I have recharged then also my outgoing calls are been not responding.

                            My Airtel set top box changes channel on its own . The set top box blinks even while the TV is off.
                            This needs to be resolved as soon as possible !

                                  I use airtel sim-prepaid i have been receiving calls from unknown numbers (All men). Each time a block a particular no., i receive call from another no.
                                  Additionally i have also started receiving whatsapp messages from unknown numbers too. These calls are very distressing as the dialer talks in an extremely cheap manner. Although i have been blocking the numbers, it hasn't helped in stopping these calls. Kindly look into the matter.

                                    One or two months ago i written a request to airtel that is:

                                    "hello sir/mam

                                    I also want to experience airtel's 4g volte service but for that i will have to upgrade my sim card to 4g/volte enabled sim card but i think i can not do because i am suffering from a disease called anxiety disorder which causes unable to walk, not even two steps forward that's why i am asking airtel if it would help me to upgrade my sim card. This sim card belongs to the telenor which was converted into airtel itself. That's why i am requesting airtel to help me out as soon as possible. Please! Please! Please! Help me out.

                                    Thanking you!

                                    Yours faithfully and truly"

                                    But airtel didn't and not doing as it's promising in their advertisement.

                                      Airtel do fraud with the customers

                                      Really shame on you people for disturbing the customers. Now once again you people are disturbing the customers. Now I want to make a recharge of Rs. 35/- from my main balance and the option is not coming. Earlier the option was coming but now you peole become ### hungry fellows who don't have guts to EARN your INCOME and become greedy beggars by looting the customers every month or every 28 days. Really shame on you greedy hungry fellows who don't have self respect and respect for the customers. You people are such type of low mentality people that you forcibly deduct Rs. 23/- from the customers balance without taking their consent. This type of attitude is shown by fraud and beggars which you are become fully. It's better for you people to leave the job and take one big katora and sit on the roads for begging so that ongoing people will give you beg as you are the greedy hungry fraud beggars to loot the customers. If you people have little bit self respect and respect for the customers then reply with the USSD code for recharging the Rs 35/- from main balance instead of forcibly deducting Rs. 23/- without taking the consent from the customers. Shame on you greedy hungry people for showing such nasty attitude and behaviour towards the customers.
