      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,

      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

                Hi,

                I am using Airtel postpaid from more than 15 years, recently i have noted that airtel has changed my base plan without my consent.
                I was using base plan of Rs 199 from June 2018 but in the month of September 2018 it was changed to Rs 299 for myself and my wife number without my consent. When i called the customer care, he is telling that they have sent messages regarding it to my mobile, which i have not seen at all. and he mentioned that As per TRAI guideline the airtel company can change the base plan by sending SMS without taking my consent. Is it true, by sending the SMS the telecom company can change anyone's base plan.

                How can someone do like this without taking consent from me change my base plan.

                This is happening for second time with me.

                I want refund for my amount ([protected], [protected]) and i want to change my plan to original Rs 199.

                Regards,
                Eshwar M

                  Address: Hyderabad, Telangana

                  Airtel executive ported my bsnl no([protected]) to Airtel on 28.01.19 but he did a mistake in sending draft unsigned NOC so activation took 15 long days. Due to this delay I was promised by airtel Executive at Hyderabad that I would be given 2 FANCY numbers as add-on under 799 post-paid plan, in which I am entitled to get 2 free add-on numbers. But I was not given those 2 fancy numbers even after 13 days since activation. Since 12 Feb 2019 I have sent so many emails, messages, whatsapp messages to get those fancy numbers but nobody gave that, last 13 days they are only saying they are looking into it. On the more their executives do not bother to lift my call nor reply to my messages. Last 13 days I am very much disturbed by this behavior of Airtel executives and customer care team. I have written to their nodal officer in Hyderabad and twitted them about this issue but NO RESULT. They don't value customer's time and energy.

                    I have selected the airtel tv channels through La Carte but both the times there is no honest resolution by Airtel to incorporate the same into my account and commence my billing cycle accordingly. I had even selected my choice of channels through Airtel Channel No. 998 this is also prove to be futile.

                    Airtel is not trasparent and difficult to deal hence I am going to change my service provider from Airtel Digital TV to another.

                      My airtel digital tv id is [protected]. I had requested for 3 months of safe custody and the same was activated on jan 19, 2019 for 100 rupees. Following which my balance went to -3 rupees and i recharged again for 100 rupees. So my balance on jan 19, 2019 was 97 rupees. And my connection also was inactive. However from from feb 8 or 9, 2019 i was deducted 6 rupees everyday and my connection was showing as active. My balance today is 1 rupees. 96 rupees have been deducted thus far and account is suspended due to insufficient balance. How can you debit 6 rupees everyday when my safe custody is active until april 19, 2019

                      Kindly refund the 96 rupees (97-1) debited until today and reactivate my safe custody

                        I also need to know if this url belongs to airtel

                        This has been happening since morning today (Feb/25/2019) i have followed every instruction given by your customer care rep. One thing i must tell you that your customer care team is really knowledgeable and courteous.

                        I need this to be resolved asap.

                              We tried recharging 1 number with 35rs to continue incoming calls. But they have deducted 3598rs and they are saying its our mistake itself. We entered 35 manually and we recharged through net banking. Its not a small amount. We shared our problem with collegues/friends and many of them faced the same problem. Airtel purposefully deducting our money and saying 'we cant do anything for this, you have selected your recharge amount'. Dont they have common sense to put 3598rs plan under 35rs plan. But the thing is we not even selected any plan just we entered the amount manually. Now, they are not even ready to provide the talktime or to refund the amount. Whenever we call them they say 'we cant help'.

                                      I requested to get my corporate connection being transferred to my personal name, submitted all my docs to nearest airtel store took rigorous follow up for 3 months but nothing was done. I mailed to airtel for getting help, received a call saying we will work on ur issue but again nothing happened.
                                      Now my number isn't working and all the customer care agents are saying is as this is a corporate connection so they can't do any thing about it

I dont want to watch that much channel. Today i removed from my previous collection of channel one channel instead of getting lesser amount it has gone up by 50 rs. And there is no option is giving me option to remove other channel (Which is provided by own airtel people). It is clear cut case of cheating with customer. For channel no goes up above 100 they will take more money.

                                        1. If i have choosen that ala cart channel then it should be showing in my select to remove channels list
