                      I am airtel postpaid plan user. I had data issues from the airtel as was not able to use the internet services from 27/12/2018. For one day i thought there may some technical glitched and will be resolved, but the same was not resolved. On 29.12.2018 morning i had made complain for the same but no proper response was received. Lateron in evening i had again called for the issue at that time one complaint number was received stating as follows:-

                      "dear customer, reference no.[protected] for your airtel mobile has been registered on 29/12/2018 18:51:42. The same will be closed within next 16 hours.. To check the status, sms sr (Ref. No.) to 121."

                      Till 31.12.2018, the problem was not resolved then i again called on 31.12.2018 at 18.11 and no satisfactory answer was received and again i was told that it will take another 72 hrs. However, i had forced the junior person to transfer the call to senior person and the same was done but it to 30 minutes and 37 second. After stating that i will go to consumer court these persons started to resove the querry and in 15 minutes my problem was solved. However, due to this glitch i had lost some money in share market as was using airtel services for trading through mobile. Alos my postpaid bill should also be reduced by the amount due to whcih i was not able to use the services properly

                          From past 3 weeks i am unable to receive any incoming calls and sms whenever i turn on 4g.. But the same problem is not faced if i switch to 2g.
                          This is very annoying as i am missing out on very important calls and iam not able to make any otp related payments. The issue is faced by many people in this area.

                          My address is global village back gate, rajarajeshwari nagar, bangalore.

                                    My airtel number got deactivated on 21 december 2018. I had recharged it on first week of dec for 82 days (448 pack). This airtel number was my only number which i was using from past 7 years. From two weeks iam visting airtel outlets to get my number reactivated but the only response i get is we are trying ma'am, it will be done by 1 or 2 days. 15 days got over and still no action is taken. Iam facing lot of problems, because this number was linked to all my bank accounts and other official things. I want my number back please help me out.

                                      We reached airtel customer care more 3 times from last 20 days.
                                      Location 8th block, koramangala, bangalore.
                                      We could not make calls and we could not access the internet from last 20 days.
                                      This affects our day to day activities and could not communicate in either way (Normal calls/internet calls/internet msg).
                                      The complaint they kept it active and mentioned they will keep the tower very soon....

                                      I was shocked to receive an sms telling me that if i do not recharge my current unlimited pack, my outgoing will be barred from the last day of the current pack. I have talktime balance in addition to the unlimited pack... Talktime i have paid for in the past. They say if i do not recharge before my pack is over, they will deduct rs 23- from my main balance.

                                      1. Effectively, airtel is not honouring a transaction i paid them for.

                                      2. They are defying trai directives by barring outgoing in fact even while the pack is still valid. I believe trai ruled that a service can be barred only if there has been no activity for two months or no recharge for six.

                                      3.in protest, the entire family is now planning to port all our numbers out of airtel - post paid and prepaid with unlimited packs, and even switch our cable service from airtel to tata sky.

                                      It is time all consumers stood up against brands that are trying to bully them. It is better to switch to state owned operators like bsnl and mtnl whose service may be poor but at least they don't fleece customers.
