Dear Airtel provider,

I have prepaid Airtel in Maharashtra. I cannot send or receive SMS from international numbers (US, EU, etc). My overseas family checked with their service provider and they have no problem sending SMS to other numbers in India. When they send me an SMS, it does not work.

    Airtel Customer Service is really bad, mistake I did was activated a pack of international Roaming, now their customer care doesn’t work outside India, and I’m not able to disable that service via app. It’s full loot from Airtel, hope someone is listening.

      Airtel closing complaints without solving the issue

      Recharged Mobile on 17th July with INR 2999 pack. But via app I am not able to get the soft copy of the bill. And after various attempts and it is 2 months but still Airtel is not able to provide bill which is minimum need for any purchase.

      Address: airtel.in
      Website: airtel.in

      Im living in KSA and have been recharging and maintaining my mobile number ([protected]) properly as I use it for all home transactions. Now all of a sudden, the signal on my number is lost and cant receive any messages.

      When emailed to their customer care, they ask me to call from same number (how is that eve possible!!!) and send from registered email address (which im doin it already!!!). I had even tried by sending my family member to airtel showroom to seek support. They go a step further by saying that this is due to TRAI guidelines!!!. This is so frustrating, why would a regulatory authority bock any number that is well registered under my ID and being maintained.

      This automated BOT reply is so annoying and I couldn't reach for a solution. Because of this all my work is hindered and spoiled. Im facing monetary losses due to this unethical response.

      Im looking for resolution in this subject and demanding my number to get restored!

          I'm a student of IIT ISM Dhanbad, recently the network of Airtel has been degraded drastically. In a highly reputed central government College this shouldn't have happened. It is difficult to even use internet because of the drastic network. Hence being an Airtel consumer I request you to please look into this matter as soon as possible.

                I tried activating my new sim after porting it by calling 59059, however, I am unable to do that as the number I called only gave information on offers. Can you please let me know what is the alternate method to activate my number?

                  I recharged my airtel number with Rs.719 unlimited pack on 11th September 2022 but instead of queuing up the new recharge until the expiry of the existing valid recharge (ends on 12th Sept 2022), the new recharge was activated instantly on 11th Sept 2022 with validity extended only till 4th Dec 2022 instead of 6th Dec 2022, and thus affecting the overall validity and making me lose two days.

                  I called customer care and the executive could not help with anything and repeated my complaint.

                  Also mailed the concern to [protected]@in.airtel.com, but they are more concerned about email that I am using is not registered with them.

                  This is plain cheating.

I have raised complaint against this through mails (for ref.attachment ) or telephonic discussion...

                            I paid Rs 799l- for international roaming pack from Airtel Thanks App in UAE. Pack is for 100 international incoming/outgoing calls . I am not able to use it. App is showing that pack will be auto activated upon landing where as I have paid in UAE. I have complained many times from the app as well as international toll free number. Every time I was told that your issue will be solved in next 24 hours but never got solved.
                            Airtel app still showing complaint status as in progress.
