My airtel prepaid sim has account balance but still my outgoing calls validity expired and am not able to make any calls. Even incoming calls validity also about to expire by 27th nov 2018.

Tried to recharge for validity extension but still not found any relevant recharge pack. Resolve this issue asap as i am not able to make any calls.

I recharged Rs 45.00 for Airtel prepaid cell no [protected] on 22.11.2018 at 9.02 PM through internet. The vide Transaction ID no. is[protected]. At once I received the recharge confirmation SMS from Airtel. On 23.11..2018 when I called on my phone I came to known that the amount Rs 45.00 had not been credited on my account. I heard a toll free voice from the phone that there was no sufficient amount for call on my account. Really I was shocked. Please take necessary action to top up the said amount to my account.

    Sir, I have been awaiting for a favorable action regarding the recharge amount of Rs.45. Meanwhile last night (25.11.2018) at 11.48 pm I received a call from cell no [protected]. A man talked to me. He requested me to tell my credit card no. to refund the amount RS.45 on the phone. I refused to tell my credit card no. Today morning at 8.07 AM the same voice called me from cell no [protected]. Today also he requested me to tell the credit card no. I switched off my phone. Now I wish to know whether the person requested for the credit card no officially or not.

        Hi,
        As you guys says airtel network coverage exists over hill station as well, but unfortunately you forgot to make it available in villages.
        For me i have been experiencing network problem for both calls n data in my village for last 2-3 years.
        I had complained multiple times in past but no improvement.
        As a old customercare of airtel i would like to continue with airtel, so could you pls upgrade your network coverage over villages as well.
        Thanks

            Airtel, you are such a cheap company. You took 25 rs from my talktime balance. It is fraud and immoral practise by you.

            Give me my money back asap which you have been deducting since 5 months. Otherwise i will file complain against you and also port the number.

            Choice is yours. Act fast.

            Game spa service has been renewed @ rs 25.0 for 5day (S) from your airtel mobile. To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223. More services, click http://56789.airtel.in

              I wasn't told about any validity before and now saying to recharge with minimum of 35rs every month to stay connected. I have enough balance in my account. They never told about any validity date and now suddenly texting and calling to ask for extra amount to get continued services else the amount already paid would get wasted. This is injustice and incorrect.

              Please review these forceful and dominant plans and take necessary actions.

                Sir i was receiving messages of outgoing validity finish. And a message that recharge with 34 or more to extend that.
                So i did so, but in return the validity extended for just one month and 100 mb data. They didn't informed in message that i am going to data pack instead of talk time which is usually expected. I don't need any data but talk time in place of that. I talked executive they said they can't do anything you must recharge with 35. Then why they sent such message to me to recharge 34.
                Please convert the data pack to talk time. What ever extra amount needed (One or two rs.) deduct from my balance.

                  I have airtel mobile phone no.[protected] for over 12 years. I am based at agra (Up) and being and i have been moving around to bengaluru, noida and gurugram quite a lot since my children are based there. That's the reason i keep sufficient balance in my account so that my communication is not disrupted for lack of recharge amount. I have a balance of rs.1194.31 in my account for this phone. Abruptly, my outgoing calls was stopped for want of recharge. Now i have a message from airtel that incoming calls will also be stopped after 4 dec.2018. My humble request is that if airtel do not want to use my balance of rs.1194.31 for providing services, this amount may be returned to me. And then if i have to continue with new conditions, i will continue and pay whatever the charges may be. Either services to my mobile be continue using my balance amount or may be returned and say goodbye.

                      mobile recharge payment done same amount twice

                      I have recharged my number previously with rs 399/- before five days.

                      Today i wrongly recharged the same number again with the same amount using freecharge app. So i would like to request you to issue a refund or extend the validty according to the plan for 2 times consecutively, as presently i am losing the benefits for one of the earlier recharges.

                      Please do the necessary action immediately....

                      I have been billed incorrectly. Even after a call with the customer care as well as sending an email to the address mentioned in the bill, this issue has not been addressed. I would like to escalate the matter to a higher authority but unfortunately, i cannot get the email address of anyone in a managerial position.
                      I would like to at least get an acknowledgment that the complaint is being processed

                              Hi Team,

                              My name is Rahul Jain. I want to disconnect my below contact number.
                              [protected]. Current plan is Rs.499 and it become approx. Rs.707 bill (499+107+100) (Bill plan+GST+Late fee) per month which is too expensive for me kindly disconnect my number as soon as possible.

                              Thanks & Regards,
                              Rahul Jain

                                Sir/mam,
                                Sir my airtel number [protected]hasbeen blocked on account of calling a dnd customer i have checked on my part that no calls were made on 24/10/2018 and16/11/2018 and if by mistake i might have called a dnd number just once or two in last 15 year its not right to disconnect my number because of one call... I use this no. For my family's and relatives and also for my business to build healthy relationship with my customer.. Not to disturb them. Beleive me even if i calied someone.. If he/she would have even once told me not to call or sms, then i would never ever had called them again. Sir i have no intention to harrase anyone... Still i apologise if i had done unintentionally. Since my phone is locked i faced many problems and these numbers are also present in my government and medical documents. My humble request from you please unblock my numbers. I am ready to pay fine if i have done anything which is lawfully not acceptable but discontinuing my number because of one call does not make any sense. Airtel being a service provider should take that incentive and respond to that.

                                I am looking for solution so would want you to please come up with one. It is my humble request. I own a company which has bulid it's goodwill with a lot of hardwork. Please reconsider this matter.
                                Thanking you

                                  I wasn't told about any validity before and now saying to recharge with minimum of 35rs every month to stay connected. I do have enough balance in my account but i was not able to use it properly as there is no proper network in the places i visit or stay. Even they haven't provided any hint about change in plans in advance. Its like i have to lose my money even i dont have proper service from the provider. This is very injustice and nothing but mere looting of customers. Looks like other service providers also joined hands with them and taking advantage of not having other options.

                                  I am afraid and much worried that they may further increase the minimum amount in future and force customers to follow even if they are not interested.

                                  Please review these forceful and dominant plans and take necessary actions against airtel and those companies that come up with these kind of customer looting ideas.

                                      As you advertise on TV that your network is very good but not. If you are not provided with good connection in city what about the village I'm from Mangalore if you trace my location it is just 3 km from Mangalore urban area my house is not in any low altitude so that connection are unavailable. It's about 50 high than sea level. If not provided with good network immediately I will definitely go ahead to CONSUMERS AFFAIRS court to question about the program
