My airtel number is +91-[protected]. I am using this number from 2-3 years.

I am getting invalid sim problem from yesterday evening. Please request you register my complain. Always i recharge this sim with 3 months unlimited pack, currently also this pack running and it will go coming 2 months.

There will be no issue like kyc because i purchase this sim by adhar card only. Infect if there will be any documents or any other update required then i should receive messages/alrert from airtel but i don't.

My alternate number +91-[protected].

    I've ported my no. From vodafone to airtel and i've also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. Every time i try to call at 59059 it automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number, i couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service. Kindly resolve the issue at the earliest.

          I recharged[protected] for plan 998 on jan 24 and i did not receive any success teansaction message so recharged again for plan 998 on jan 26 also. As i haven't received the refund amount for failed transaction, i checked the transaction history once again where it is success actually. So please refund the plan 998 pack. I recharged both times by using my airtel app only.

              My name is olusegun alabi with phone number [protected]
              I have been a loyal customer since the year 2003/04 (About 16 years) and i needed to load up my data bundle thus i visited 2 of your outlets (Silverbird galleria & adeola odeku) both in victoria island in lagos but to my greatest surprise both outlets indicated that they do not have pos to use and particularly at your adeola odeku where pos was provided it was so surprising when the client rep informed me that the pos does not accept credit card!

              I was appalled that at this age and time where other communication outfits including yours are touting 4g network and with such a zeal. It will be said that airtel is using facilities that is not even 2g compliant to say the least that all transactions is cash based

              Above is beneath a corporation as enviable as yours and i am indeed dissappointed to say the least

              I sincerely believe that this will be corrected forthwith and the right trainings be handed down to all your frontline personnel going forward to avoid not only such unprofessional utterances but be resourceful at managing situation to have your outfit standing tall within competitive arena

                I had a coupon of 50 rupees in my airtel account. Previously i tried to recharge the plan of 448 using that copoun but somehow the transaction failed and then after my copoun is not showing in my account.
                I had that coupon, and tried to solve that issue with you costumer service and they asked me send the screenshot as i got the copoun so i m attaching the screenshot.

                      Dear sir/madam,

                      I am using airtel for last 5 years. Suddenly, today validity is expired. I recharged rs 199. Even though i got the message as successful recharge but still i could call (All incoming and outgoing calls are stopped). So i recharged rs 24 but still, i could not call anybody.
                      I hope you will consider my complaint and resolve it soon

                      Regards,

                        My airtel postpaid number is [protected]. Raising this complaint as i recieved a false bill for my ir pack. Have travelled to malaysia/singapore on 21 dec 2018 and i activated the international roaming pack for 10 days for these countries. I reached india on 28 th dec 2018 itself. Ideally once i reach my base country the pack should have been deactivated since i am not travelling to malaysia again in the ten days time period. I travelled to maldives on 30 th dec 2019 for 1 day so i did not activate as there was no pack available in the webiste. Once i reached maldives airport my network was available where as my wife postpaid number was not having service so i used the data for some emergency. Later got a message after 8 hours from airtel that outgoing is barred as u have reached the limit and got a sms stating rs 63000 has been used. After returning to india on 31 dec 2019 called the customer care to get to know the details of this message i received but they did not give proper explanation and informed once bill generated we will come to know. Now received a bill of rs77828 from airtel for the call and data usage where data usage is 69 mb (63000) and charged for that.

                        1. When i arrived maldives my service should have been deactivated or alerted me that the international roaming pack is not applicable in maldives and should have mentioned the tariff details for calls and data but i just got a delayed sms after 3 hours of my arrival stating welcome to maldives data rates applicable at non discounted rates. As per trai consumer protection act 2015, customers should get sms immediately they are outside india on international roaming pack.in my case the service provider airtel failed to do so.

                        2 as informed by customer care executive when i reached india after asking the details several time got the below details, as they were not ready to tell the tarif[censored]pfront

                        1. [protected]@ 400rs pm

                        2. [protected]@50 rs

                        3. Data @10/kb

                        Not sure why these basic tariff details are hidden as i am not the first person from airtel to visit maldives. Since they know these tariff prior as a service provider they should have been intimated me through sms upon my arrival in maldives. As a customer i have the basic right to get it. These charges are hidden by airtel to make money.


                        3. I am ready to pay for the malaysia pack charges which i am liable for. But in case of maldives when they have failed to alert me about the service charges i am clueless in a new country to know what would be my tariff if i have to use for emergency purpose.


                        Action item.

                        1. Why i was not intimated with the base tariff details when i am reaching a new country. As per trai guidelines an alert should be given to user in the form of sms on international usage about the data charges and call charges. Also after usage of every 10 mb as per trai the user should be alerted where i dint get any of that kind. Just got a sms after all my 100% percent is over. The exact tariff was not intimated when they know about this charges prior.

                        2. Not satisfied with the reply from nodal officer i am writing this complaint. From their side they are telling bill is correct and charges are correct and asking to pay. And nobody is giving me a complaint number when i ask them. The mail's i communicate with them is just like a private mail chain and i am sure even the appellate office will not share me the complaint number.

                        Also even after contacing customer if we ask for the data charges they are not telling properly. I have the proof for that as well.


                        With no hope i am writing this complaint as i feel i am ready to pay for the ir pack activated for malaysia but not this false data bill. Request the complaint board or trai to take strict action against these kind of false service provider and heavily charge penalty against these service provider.

                        Also I would need adjustment of my bill as airtel is not ready to adjust my bill inspite the mistake is at their end.

                          I have ported my number from airtel to idea. Firstly airtel took long time to release my number and secondly sent me a bill of 236 rs of my usage thats okay fine, because of some reason i got late to pay the bill so as per the policy idea temporary deactivated my number thats okay fine. But after i submitting my receipt to idea, airtel is still not giving clearance to activate my sim now its been 11 days since my sim got deactivated.
                          Very poor service, irresponsible company.

                            I am unable to use internet using aietel 4g data connection. From sep2019 onwards i am being told that there is new tower is coming up and this problem would be resolved. But till now there is no progress. I have paid rs.480 for 82 days 4g data connection without using internet and voice as poor signal. And again 5th dec 2018 till now i rarely use interenet and voice call as the poor signal. It force me to think to switch over to other service provider. I purchased bsnl sim for voice call because airtel poor connection.

                                  Hello,

                                  This regarding the my airtel digital tv id [protected].

                                  I had a internet airtel digital tv connection earlier and now i have taken a additional hd connection as well.

                                  Unfortunately both are not working. Internet tv connection is showing signal not found and in a day it works may be for an hour or less.

                                  Hd connection mostly in the evening time does not shows hd channels. Only non hd channels are showing.

                                  I have connected several time to customer care and the vendor who comes for installation of internet tv.in spite of requesting to change the setup box for internet tv which is faulty for beginning, they are not changing it.

                                  My money is wasted as i am not able to watch. As i have taken yearly subscription it is a loss for me.

                                  1. I need to get internet tv setup box changed immediately but airtel is not changing it.

                                  Regards,
                                  Santosh

                                    I'm a airtel dth costumer for 5 years and today when i'm choosing my dth package as per trai regulations i noticed that airtel is charging 153 rs. As ncf charges which is 23 rs. More than actual charges.
                                    Trai have set the ncf change at 130 rs. So why airtel is changing me 153 rs.
                                    That's why i'm here to complaint against airtel for condemned the trai rules.

                                      My mobile no.[protected] is a prepaid having airtel sim card.in spite of regular recharge i receive a voice from airtel that you will not able to make any outgoing calls with immediate effect while the printed message says the balance amount of ₹44/ with 100 mb data. Today i got another voice message that your incoming calls are blocked with immediate effect. The airte is providing a txn i'd when the amount is paid. Then the question arises where this money goes? When the complaint is lodged thru e - mail to airtel there answer is that the above no. E-mail i'd is not registered with them and they ask to click on some address which does not exist. I told them to convey their reply by sending sms on my mobile to which they never respond.
                                      I sincerely hope to receive a clear cut reply from airtel or they would plunder my money as they had done earlier for tune melodies which were never asked by me. Satish tikekar

                                        As we reside in different location, they installed a pole without even consulting anyone. When my neighbour asked they did not give any reply.
