I recharged my airtel prepaid with 399 unlimited pack, and where i got airtel thanks benefits, 1.4 gb data per day and unlimited calls for 84 days.
But when i checked my data balance on *121*2# it shows 5120 mb left from add - on. I thought it will be used after i finish my daily data limit. But it is not being used, ever day when i consume my daily data. And when i check the data balance it shows 1 mb left from daily data limit.
And 5120 mb from add - on. Which is not being used, i complaint against it on 198 customer care, he just said it will be solved, just restart the phone, still the problem is unsolved.
I hope this time i will not be ignored.
Thank you

Yeah, me too, I get the same problem... Is it solve or not yet??? AIRTEL should have send me this SMS instead - Ypu have consumed 100% of your daily limit with a remaining balance of 5120MB that cannot be used and display just to confuse and fool you. And while the news says Airtel is trying to compete with Jio add on pack with unusable bonus of 5120MB that start to display with any add on recharge 49, 96...10k whatever, doesn't make any difference, just for any recharging amount you get to display 5120mb, either Airtel is trying to fool the customer or for the customer to have fun in trying to fool his/her friends with 5120mb that cannot be depleted. CLEARLY THE WINNER IS JIO & WHILE AIRTEL IS BUSY SENDING A GIFT O[censored]NUSABLE 5120MB FOR ANY add-on RECHARGE AMOUNT. Which in turn time to make a switch of SIM car d/network provider to JIO that have a better and REAL offer recharged.

    Your customer care representative named girish i had talked to him on 28 nov 2018 at 9.55 pm, his behaviour was very annoying he just had no manners and he was not listening to any of my complains and when i asked him to transfer the call to senior then his senior was also behaving like him. He just disconnected my call i was shocked because this is having first time with me i am using airtel since 2004 in bihar circle. Now i have ported my no. To airtel in delhi ncr cirle last month. Now i will not continue with airtel until 90 days completed. I am very disappointed. I will port out my no. This was a very harsh behaviour i cannot tolerate it.

      I have recently moved to UK 5 months ago and I have recently found that my number is deactivated on 24th Nov 2018

      One of Airtel Nodal officer Karthiga adviced me to connect with nearest ARC and recharge for 20 rs to get it activitated with in grace period. I asked my friend to do so but the Airtel service centre says it is not possible and hence I called the customer care again and they are not responding now replying the same story to connect with nearest ARC.

      Such a stupid response from Airtel. I have been with Airtel since many years but it is of no help now. Customers are not well treated. I'm ready to recharge even for 1000 rupees if they activate it but they really showing don't care attitude towards this issue.

          Since today my outgoing calls are barred for reasons unknown although i have sufficient balance. I tried calling up airtel support (121) from my mobile but it got disconnected stating outgoings are barred. Then i called up airtel support through my airtel landline, got to speak to an executive where the executive says i have to pay rs. 35 to allow outgoing. This payment is not for once but i need to pay every 28 days. Other option is to go for unlimited pack.

          How can a service provider bars outgoing calls from any number having balance and asks for more money to even use my existing money. Its blackmail. Now they can come up demanding money for incoming calls, incoming sms when we will stop receiving sms's and our online banking transactions will not be possible because otp's will not be received.

          Not sure how can a renowned organization openly go so illegal.

            Money stuck in airtel wallet. Kyc already done, but "service is temporarily unavailable" popup showed by the app whenever we try "send money" feature. I can't transfer my money to my account. This is so depressing. I'm already dis-satisfied with the network of airtel, i never get network when i'm inside the house and hence no one can contact me there, i'm at no service mode for almost 12 hours. This is mental harassment.

              Dear service team,

              Hi, this is prakash r from bangalore having airtel prepaid connection no. 0091-[protected]. I lost my mobile today morning, hence, i want to request the airtel team to please block this sim card asap.

              Please guide me through the process of issuing a duplicate prepaid sim card (If possible, with the balance amount from my previous sim). I expect a quick solution to my problem with further knowledge of the procedure.

                My airtel outgoing services has been expired inspite of my remaining balance is 60rs. I could not able to make calls but i can receive as of now.

                This is the below message which i got for expiry.
                "important: outgoing services on your airtel mobile [protected] has expired on 23-nov-18. To restart the services recharge now. Dial *121*51#"

                I tried dialing *121*51# to extend the validity but there is no options to extend the validity. I tried to call customer care numbers but that's also not working.

                I need immediate resolution or soon my incoming will also be blocked.

                  Despite of several verbal & mail communication, no action is taken from airtel towards improvement of the services. However, i was assured every time that service will be improved and requested not to close the number. I was informed that airtel will set up a new tower at my area but till date no progress is observed. I maild so many times to register my complaint and also informed that i will not pay for the services.

                      I have applied for a broadband connection and paid the advance rental for 6 months on the condition that i would get the connection within 24 hours. The sales team of airtel contacted me at least 10 times before maybe the payment
                      Once the payment was made there is no one is picking the phone and even after 48 hours no one from airtel contacted me.
                      I sent a mail to airtel customer support for which i received no reply.
                      The sales people are not picking the phone no matter how many times i am making the call
                      Moral of the story never ever pay advance to airtel they are

                          Dear sir,

                          My airtel number (Verified by aadhaar) is as follows: [protected].
                          As i am presently staying in germany, i had recharged it last in october 2018 with an ir pack. Since friday 23rd nov., my sim card is showing "no service". When i tried to recharge online, it says that this is not a valid number. Also, when i call the airtel customer care for karnataka ([protected]), it doesn't recognize my number as an airtel number - so i am not being able to speak to an airtel agent. As i am abroad, i cannot visit the airtel store also. It is important to note that airtel has not given me any intimation about possible disconnection - so i have also not been able to change my registered mobile number; and hence not able to make several online transactions for which i depend on my airtel number.

                          Please help.

                          Best regards,
                          Supratick

                              I received this text message from airtel “pack validity for my airtel no will expire on 30-nov-18 & outgoing services will stop. Recharge for continued services. Dial*121*51#”. Why i need to recharge minimum 35 for validity only and if i do not recharge then my incoming service will also stop after 15 days. I came to know that i have to recharge after 28 days for validity everytime. I will have to recharge time to time only for the validity, but when i purchased the airtel sim card that time airtel gave me life time validity. Now airtel is cheating to customers.

                                Airtel is saying they removed life time validity because trai asked to do so.

                                I searched the links they provided but could not find any inf where trai asked to remove life time validity, i have asked them to provide at least screen shot where trai mentioned to remove lifetime. But they are not doing.

                                They are cheating the customers, they charged 100 rs saying they will life time validity, but now the they turned back

                                        My number +91-[protected] was working until november 23 2018. Now it's saying number does not exists. The number was ported from vodafone to airtel 7 years back. I recently moved from karnataka to california, i was regularly charging the phone to maintain the number. I am actually stuck with the otp for financial transactions. I did tried to reach airtel customer care but couldn't.
