I have been using my airtel mobile number for about 4 years now, unfortunately it stopped working from last 2 days due to non usage of more than 3 months, i would like to reactivate again. I have sent a mail to [protected]@airtel.in but no response. Please help me regarding this. I would definitely like to retain this number. I am out of india and would like to get it reactivated as soon as possible.

Thanks
Prithivi

    On November 4 I visited the Airtel store in Faizabad, to upgrade my sim to 4g and he said the person should be present on whom's name the sim is registered as the sim is on my father's name, I asked for some other solution and he told me a unique way to port the Airtel sim to Airtel and some how I get in into his fake talks and agreed upon it he said the sim will be activated in 4 day and as the first recharge is necessary you have to pay 559 and I did that but the sim do not port within 15 days then I went to him to cancel that request of port and refund my payment after lot of arguments he agreed and take my bank account details said that it will be directly sent to your account and till that I have phoned him and visited many times he is not giving me satisfactory answer and once he said you will get mail from company and you will refund today or yesterday or tomorrow bla.. bla .. and now it is getting about one month and now he showing me his unprofessional behaviour that how badly he can talk to the customers ... This is very disappointing and if this is not going to resolve iam deciding to go to the consumer forum to get hell down with 50times more compensation for the inconveniences I have faced ...

    I think you should work upon your store service as your name is not enough for the coustomer they are looking for good service..

      Our family of 4 are using airtel 4g sim from years, recently we are facing issues with the signal strength, calls not connecting, unclear during calls, calls get disconnected in between... The data too is very slow.. Kindly do the needful as soon as possible.. If our problems are not resolved we are planning to port the sim to other company...

      Thank you

          No connectivity at all now. Airtel network is zero.
          Forget internet we neither call nor receive any calls.
          Even after so many complaints so many calls to customer care i am getting the same answer that it will be rectified within 72 hours. But i think now it is more than a week. What you guys really doing i don’t understand.

          Please consider my request and provide me at least a basic network where we wouldn’t face call drops at least. 4g is still very far for me.

          Call centre is hapless. Fake promise always, i must tell your call centre is one of the wonders in the earth...!! Who knows how to cheat the customer politely. You know what putting all this in social media is of no use because everyone has the problem. It has become a habit to people now.

          My final request is if you guys are not able to provide good network, admit it...!! Don’t keep on lie

          Please consider this at do the needful. Sharm nam ki koi cheez bacha huwa hai tho help karo...!!

            Suddenly received a msg from airtel that my outgoing service will expire soon if i didn't recharge, my account already has rs100 talktime o[censored]nlimited validity, i did recharge for it on 25th september and recharge before that was done in january. Explain this too me airtel, how can validity expire on a lifetime valid sim. Now all of a sudden, the service terms have changed! Stop fooling your customers for forceful recharges

              Hi airtel team,

              I am not having internet connectivity since morning despite of having 251 gb balance available available in my post paid connection, had connect to customer care on 121 as well but didnt get any positive solution.

              I expect quick revert and request for early resolution as my day to day work is getting impacted.

              Mobile no - [protected] postpaid connection.

                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 1000 rs saying they will life time validity, but now the they turned back

                        I did not suscribe to the value added service offered by airtel called idiotbox.

                        But i received a message from airtel saying that i have suscribed to this service and that 150 rupees were charged. My number is [protected]

                        This is the message i received from airtel:

                        Idiotbox service has been renewed on your airtel mobile rs 150.0 for 30 day (S). To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223.

                        I have noticed now about this and i have never activated this service.

Or i will not continue with airtel from next time.

                              I raised a complaint with the airtel customer care team about inaccurate international roaming charges for mobile data. I had turned off mobile data and roaming options on my phone throughout the duration of my international trip. However, in the airtel bill's itemized statement, i see that they have charged me a huge amount for the billing period when my mobile data was switched off.

                              On speaking to the customer care team member, i was bluntly told by them that i have used the mobile data during the said period, so i have been charged for it. They were not willing to listen and dispute this claim.

                              I am quite shocked that a service provider like airtel would be so unreasonable to the genuine concerns of an old customer like myself, who has always paid my bills on time.

                              I hope the team would investigate the matter more clearly instead of simply dismissing my complaint to show a speedy resolution.

                                  Kindly do the needful as my sim has stopped working since yesterday. I guess the reason would be no outgoing calls since past 60days or so.
                                  I have been an airtel users since past 10years. I have had the same number as i am abroad since past 5months i wasn't able to do any out going calls.
                                  Also i had maintained the balance of around rs.1000+ and every month i was being charged for rs.100 for international roaming rental.

                                  Now i have all my financial transactions and other important stuffs linked to my personal airtel number which is +91 [protected] has stopped due to deactivation.

                                  I request you to take this up on priority and activate my sim.
                                  You help will be highly appreciated.

                                    When i buy the sim in airtel company. They have told this was an lifetime validity sim no need to recharge further.

                                    But now they are stopping the incoming and outgoing calls for not recharging the sim. Am using the secondary sim but evethough they have not enclosed that we have to recharge monthly once for incoming and outgoing when i buy the sim card.

                                      Airtel Network is very very poor in Khidki and south Delhi. Never phone gets connected in Hauz Rani and Khriki extension. People are switching to other operators. My Airtel no hardly works and everybody complaining me about call not connecting. When others call on my no it says no is invalid due to Network issue.

                                        Hi,

                                        I have had a single SIM card from the last 15 years. I was with Vodafone but eventually moved to Airtel for "better" service. But what Airtel has done now is unpardonable.

                                        2 days back, they have recycled my number and deactivated all services. I called Airtel customer care and they said they have no history of me being with them ever!!! They said they do not know me or my number and said they cant help and I cannot get back my number..!!!

                                        I have tied up all my services from the last 15 years on this number and out of the blue they deactivate my number even without a warning. I hadn't been using the number of late as I am out of India and I have been doing a recharge every 45 days and making outgoing calls. The last recharge done was on October 8th. I have a message from Airtel thar says to recharge within 90 days to keep the services and I have been doing it every 45 days to be safe. How can they deactivate services of a number I held for 15 years even after I have followed their instructions to the dot. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced.
                                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
