Hi team,
I am an airtel postpaid customer. After coming outside india, i can se that entire incoming and outgoing call is barred for the subjected number [protected].

This is a very bad experience for me and no one able to connect to me. Can you please enable the facility and remove the call barring from my number on immediate effect.

Please consider it on priority.

I am trying to connect them via email but they are least bothered to address my concern.

With regards
Pinak

    I recharged my airtel prepaid number with rs399 with validity of 84 days.1.4gb data is given per day. But after exhausting 1.4gb data, a message usually came that recharge the number with 49 and get 3 gb data with validity same as validity of rs399 recharge. Now after exhausting my data i recharged my number with rs49, data also appeared in my account. But i am unable to use net with this data. Nothing can be done with this data. Within a week i contacted customer care aprox 4-5 times, they don't listen to my problem and if someone listen then he/she give me false hope that it is a network issue and your net will begin running after a while. I recharged my number with rs49 twice. But i am unable to use data after exhausting existing data of 1.4 gb. I am very frustrated and airtel is making me fool only. I don't know qhat should i do. Because airtel is just making my money waste. Please solve my issue please.

      It totally frustrating to not have airtel network services in my phone ([protected]) for 5 days.
      Even after continuously following up with the customer care, there is no solution provided so i had to take a second sim from the store. Even that sim getting the same issue and customer care is pushing the issue by asking for 24 hours each time (Now its five days) as they are unable to get a solution.
      I raised the complaint on 21st jan till today 26th jan issue is still pending. This is ridiculous and extremely irresponsible behaviour from one of the top telecom providers in india.
      I am under mental harassment for five days as i am unable to do my daily work through my phone. Please advice where can i raise a complaint about this torture and sue airtel.

      I have received a call from Airtel executive today morning at around 9 AM and he convinced me that network service will resume in half an hours but I have not received any call until now.

      Airtel Executive/customer care who not able to understand the root cause and resolve the issue and simply extending time and date.

      This issue still pending for 7 days, it's totally unethical and mental torture for the customers.

          That day is not so far when Airtel the no 1 operator becomes 0 operator and loose it's customers and while business.
          I[censored] have little bit shame then recharge from your side.Â
          Really shame on you greedy hungry beggars ashwini, kunain, amreen, vaishnav, arjun, pradeep, kaveri for eating the benefits of rhe customers as you people don't have self respect and respect for your parents then how you people give respect to the customers. You people have made the mentality to disturb the customers and nothing else. Now the situation is that Airtel and U people become thief fraud to loot the customers. Once again you shown your poor fraud mentality to loot the customers and don't have guts to earn your income. If you have little bit self respect and respect for your parents and for the customers and llittle bit shame then reduce my call rates from your end. Earlier also many times Airtel from its side reduced my call rates to 25 P/M for 3 months time period everytime. If you have little bit shame and respect for the customers then reduce the call rates from your end instead of making the nonsense and bull [censored] excuses.

                It's been so frustrating to take a simple sim from airtel. I have vodafone and jio numbers but never ever had such a problem. Not sure if i did a blunder opting for an aitel number.

                New sim asked for verification numbers and i have two numbers. Got the code with an sms stating verified and to call 59059. When i call it shows "mobile network not available" tried changing mobiles, tried changing manual network, all as per shopkeeper and airtel customer service guys, but no-one knows what to do
                Airtel customer representatives send to shopkeeper and shopkeeper asks to call verification. Verification guys say call 121. And 121 doesn't have any such issue on thier list and you listen to the automated message with no solution. Feels like a sin having opted to take an airtel connection.

                Its been two days now. If you guys can do something am available on my alternate number [protected].

                    My mobile no [protected] is linked to my dth (3) accounts and also airtel wifi. It is to complaint that fixed landline no.[protected] was disconnected (Only broadband) and later on in late sept we had requested for the line to be disconnected. I received three calls a day to renew my number as they would offer me a good package. My father is no more and my mother has been harassed constantly for non payment of bills.
                    I was rung up by the call centre that the phone would automatically be disconnected on 10 nov 2018 and it was free.

                                Dear sir, i have sent the port message more than six times. But airtel is not sending upc. Though they have wanted to know the cause of my leaving airtel.
                                I know, this is the right of a customer. Please take necessary action against airtel for their intentional inconvenience. Otherwise people will not believe in the mobile portability. I believe proper steps will be taken by you.
