I bought a prepaid sim card from the goa int'l airport 4 days ago. I was told that activation would be possible within 3 hours, and that i should call 59059 to activate my sim. After 4 days i finally got a signal and tried calling 59059 (And many other numbers) however all i heard was a woman saying "the number you have dialled is invalid". I am visiting india for only 10 days - can anybody who has had the same problem help me? What do you think i should do?

    Airtel auto deducted rs 23 from my main balancer on yesterday while 15 days is still pending for incoming airtel should confirm from customer before deducting the rs 23. I have to plan more but airtel wasted my money if airtel wants auto deduction then rs 9 to be deducted because in minimum recharge of rs35 there is talk time of rs 26. Please refund me rs 23 so that i may able to recharge as per my decision. I think airtel da diwali nikal haha hai. Please stop such type of practice for cheating the customer otherwise i have to port in bsnl which charge rs 36 for six months. Please refund rs 23 otherwise i will approach trai and consumer court.

        I have given 'n' number of complaints in twitter regarding the Airtel's service that I am getting since last few months. The customer care call me, ask what problem I am facing and then assure to provide better service, which is not happening at all. Even near the Airtel tower, the signal is weak at times. The 'ping' I get is very high at times. Whenever I need to send an urgent document, the 4G net is slow. Please take some action against the company.

            Today, 26th feb, 2019 around 5pm i have received multiple calls from number: [protected], offering 15 lakhs amount for installation of airtel mobile tower in our property. The person also offered 30k monthly rent as well as a job to take care of the tower with 12k monthly salary.

            The offer was really tempting. When i asked for further information and procedure, the person asked me to send multiple documents like, aadhar card, voter card, property paper, pan card via whatsapp. Also the person multiple times asked for if we have insurance of the property. As we do not have any insurance for the property, the person asked me to purchase insurance within next 24 hours, otherwise the offer will be canceled.

            When i asked the person if i can prepare the insurance on my own, the person refused and told me it will not be valid. Then i asked the person to send me all the details from their official email address. But the person refused that it can not be done until my profile is created at their end.

            I suspected probable phishing call and disconnected.

            I would like to report this and want you to take appropriate action.

            Thank you.

            In Airtel app for 998 recharge it shows as data and SMS renews every 28days but after recharge the SMS says only SMS are renewed. This is misleading and please suggest what I can do to reverse and do another recharge that offers me more data.
            Airtel still charging NCF of 94 rupees on my secondary connection which should be waive off as per TRAI so please look into this and take action ASAP.

            I don't know why we have to post it and contact airtel many times, every time they told me that they don't have any update yet and we need to wait for same.

              My Airtel DTH account ([protected]) got suspended and account balance showing negative balance due to wrong package selection done by customer care executive.

              Even after multiple follow-ups they are not taken seriously and I have decided to stop the service immediately and requested update the Database accordingly, still getting promotion call and SMS.

                I had taken a postpaid connection from airtel with number [[protected]] in the month of october.
                After using the service for a month i went to airtel gallery and asked them to close the connection, but they denied saying that once you start any postpaid connection it cannot be closed for 3 months.
                I continued to carry the connection for another two months and paid the bills even if i had not used the connection.
                Now after the third month they called up and said that we had suspended your connection, clear the last month bill and close the connection.
                When i went to gallery the staff at dombivli (E) gallery [near p p chambers] responded rudely saying they cannot process my payment and will not close the connection. When i went to another gallery they asked for 300inr more than that was communicated to me. Now because they have not closed the connection i will have to pay another month payment.
                Please look into the issue urgently.

                                Dear sir/madam,

                                I enhanced my old airtel sim to 4g on 24/02/2019 at 13.00 pm. After that incoming and outgoing calls are working well but till now i could not get and send any sms. Is there any kind of restriction information for upgrading sim to 4g. Let me know the correct information regarding this. My number is [protected]. Kindly resolve it.

                                Regards,
                                M. Rajan

                                At the time 4G migration SMS services will be blocked for 48 hours for the reason of fraud prevention like smishing and otp frauds. Thank you airtel

                                  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 bull [censored] 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
