Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, 500072

Previously my validity was 2032. Now it shows expire date is 22 nov 2018. And the message that i have to recharge with rs. 35 to enjoy uninterrupted service.

Airtel started cheating customers.

They haven't communicated about outgoing validity plan change and notified me all of suddenly. How do i trust validity of existing plans as posted in airtel web site? Is it really fair?

Yes this type of private companies are only see a 100% profit based business but atleast 1% consider the customer they will grow .Me and my friends are using Airtel but after announce this plan my friends throwed their sim and some friends are ported to other.We only change this privates because we are consumers.After decreasing their customers they will drop this plan.I think u may choose some other telecom providers.Then only they change.
I also have same issue. Airtel is cheating us.

      Address: Darjeeling, West Bengal, 734001
      Website: www.airtel.in

      My mobile number [protected] was not active for 4 months as the SIM does not operate in J& K Region, due to that my sim was inactive for 4-5 months. After 5 months when i am back to West Bengal, there was no network on my sim and in contact with AIRTEL customer care, she suggest to refresh the sim and get 4G sim. So i reactivate the sim by paying 100 INR and recharge it with 149 INR as unlimited for 28 days. The sim was functioning well for 5 – 6 days and after 6 days the sim stop functioning and also there was no network in it.

      Again I contact Customer care and on talk with AIRTEL NODAL OFFICER, she said that the sim is allocated to somebody else. So how can such mistake be done by AIRTEL . So I do not understand the circumstance and criteria, I only need is to reactivate my SIM as early as possible. It is mistake done through AIRTEL and it must be resolve by AIRTEL as early as possible.

      And After Consuming 20 days of time at last they are saying Sorry We cannot reactivate your Sim.

      Very Unsatisfactory Service provide by the Airtel . Due to mistake done by the Airtel, I have wasted lots of times and for it at last you are giving the conclusion that it cannot be reallocated the sim to me.My question is why my sim was activated for 5 days ? It is big fault done by AIRTEL. Very irresponsible act done by the Airtel Team and devalued the customer.
      For harassment and consumption of time the Airtel Company must pay the compensation or reactivate the sim
      Harassment due to Airtel:
      1. Need to Visit Bank in Gujarat And change the Number in Bank Account.
      2. Need to Stand in long queue to update the number in Aadhar Card
      3. Need to Stand in long queue to update the number in LPG Connection.
      4. Need to Update in Service Record.
      5. Also made a recharge of Rs. 149 and payment of Rs 100 for sim, the company must refund it too
      6. Consumption of time and all other related harrasment, the AIRTEL must compensate .

          Airtel is always trying to loot customer by making such moves.
          If this continues, the option remain is mnp.

                    sim card suddenly stopped working

                    I have been using the same airtel number since 2008 and never had any problem with any phone. Yesterday all of a sudden my number stopped working and it shows no signal. Tried everything to get it started but nothing worked. This sim is just a year old so it should not be giving any trouble. Kindly resolve the issue asap as i need the number to be working asap....

                      Sir, i have issued a simcard of airtel by offering me good scheme.
                      My first sim was of vodafone & through good scheme i have decided to go with airtel. They have ported my following number to airtel network.
                      They took my aadhar card & everything.
                      Since last ten days i am not receiving any network repeatedly i am enquiring about airtel network only the answer which i am getting is "i it will come" i thin they are not serious about this. I have called so many times in the last ten days i got the above answer repeatedly the same.
                      Please i request to look into this matter and try to solve my problem.

                        My phone showed me mm sim not allowed and there was no network. Went to a shop near by and replaced my sim. After 4g sim replacement i am unable to send or receive sms. I tried calling their customer care however it seemed there is nobody to attend my call as i was made to listen to recorded advertisements for 5 minutes after which i hung up. Now that i can't receive any messages i am unable to complete any online transactions that require otp through sms as this is my primary number.

                          I have claimed airtel secure insurance claim for my damaged handset and submitted all documents to airtel on 15 nov 2018.
                          My case is being rejected on the reason that IMEI is activated before the purchase around June 23 2017, where as my invoce is of 2nd sept 2017. So i have enquried this with samsung as i have purchased the mobile from Samsung.com only. The service centre has provided me the screenshot about the activation of my IMEI on 4th Sept 2017, which is after the purchase.
                          Airtel does not even submit me the document proof for june activation. so this is clear fraud rejection just to avoid the claim.

                            Problem:
                            I had recently been called by airtel's customer care exactly 3 months back offering to port my mobile number from tata docomo (+91-[protected]) operator to airtel as tata docomo is shutting down (As i've been told).
                            I had been mislead that if i switch my network to airtel, only porting to postpaid is possible and i can switch to prepaid account after 4 months.

                            The fix airtel provided :

                            Dear joshi,

                                I recharged my airtel number with some 100 bucks or so. Even when i dint use not even like 10 rupees out of it, my current balance is 7 rupees and that i came to know when i got a call from airtel regarding cutting down my connection if i dont get it recharged soon. There's no proper platform to talk to customer care as well for grievance management.

                                  I have been using my number for about 14 years now and came to us was still recharging my number. Without sending me an email or any notification airtel assigned my number to someone else. I am at a high security risk as this number is connected to my bank accounts etc. Airtel - please check this immediately and help me in getting my number back. I have screenshots of my previous recharge and it’s not 90 days yet

                                    I've been a prompt customer for airtel using their mobile and broadband network for over 8 years now. I called airtel customer service on 18/11/2018 to request for a disconnection of my broadband connection due to bad fluctuations in the connection, due to which i was not able to use my internet. However, while talking to one of the supervisors, i was almost convinced to continue the service with a lower plan. However, by gods grace this rep started explaining me about my plan and i learnt that airtel is charging me rs 200 extra per month for the last 1 year 6 months for providing me additional 50gb data each month. The irony is that i had 1, 000 gb data left behind from my monthly usage. For a plan of 1, 100 i was charged 1, 700 a month and this airtel did it for over 16 months.

                                    How shameless can you guys be, the amount of money you spend on your advertisement to get new customers, you can spend 1% of it on your existing customers to keep them happy. Today, i am out of airtel's network and very soon, people will understand the kind of scammers you are and will leave you guys with nothing.
