It is really pathetic to observe such useless services from airtel. I have a postpaid connection of 499 family plan and i have subscribed to airtel secure which comes with my exisitng plan.

On 12th of november my phone (Oneplus 6) accidentally slipped out of my hand and fell on the ground due to which the screen got cracked. Thus, i lodged a claim with airtel thinking it would be covered under the airtel secure plan.

However, i was taken by surprise when i heard that my claim has been rejected since the event a phone slipping out of a hand does not cover under accidental damages. Moreover, the customer care executive told that accidental damage only applies when the device would be subjected to any external force. Such are the illogical statements coming out of airtel.

I request you to look into the concern as after rigorous follow ups all i could elicit from airtel is that it would not be covered under damage protection despite the fact that the device got accidentally damaged. I would like to reiterate that i am going to proceed with legal option if this issue is not resolved and looked into at the earliest.

    Iam using airtel prepaid sim for the past more than 10 years. Earlier i got a message that my sim validity is upto 2030. But all of a sudden my out going calls disabled though i have rs.157 balance. A message received to recharge for enabling outgoing calls but didn't mentioned how much to recharge. This is not fair on part of the service provider inconveniencing the long lasting customer.

      We have being trying to set up airtel broadband for the past two days with no response from them. As soon as we raised the enquiry form, we received calls from the numbers[protected],[protected]. They were too active till collecting our photographs and id proofs post that which they never responded. The person who spoke through the number[protected] told us that he is no more working with airtel just the very next day after collecting our id proofs. We are afraid that they might even misuse our ids. I have raised an complaint directly with airtel today regarding this.

        I was using airtel postpaid connection, as i shifted to another country for 6 months.
        Number was not in use and become inactive.
        I am ready to pay 3 months rental which is 299 as not informing airtel, post which services are discontinued. Airtel asks me to pay 1571 as number activation charges for 6 months. As per plan i should get rollover unused data and free minutes. As i have not used single call or used even 1 kb of data. Airtel denies to do same.
        I am long time airtel user. They dont agree to make it prepaid also, as number is not valid.
        So only to activate number i will be paying 1571 which seems unfair on my part.
        I just want to utilize my old number.
        I except fair amount to be charged and fair services to be given.
        Regards

              change from postpaid to prepaid is a problem

              Hi team,

              I believed that airtel is the best network provider in india. I am using airtel# [protected] since 2.5 yrs now. Due to less usage of internet and calls by me, i wished to change this postpaid# to a prepaid plan.

              I visited the nearest airtel store in tolichowki, hyderabad for this change request on saturday (10th nov'18). I also paid 560 in total to the store which includes 460 of my last month bill....

              I have not activated anything like vemes.. why have you charged me for vemes.. return me my money and dont activate such things again. And if you think that somebody have activated it by mistake though its not like that.. still you should first confirm it before activating and deducting money by sms or email. I hope this wont happen again

                  While submitting complaint also i m facing network problem omg. What type of network is provided to people. People are facing lot of network problem. Airtel is slowest network, its proving itself as wrong.in advertise v see it's the india's fastest network but it's not true. Really i m fed up with this network. It shows too much network issues even to download or browse. I m using this network since 1.5 years but no use in the beginning it was having gud network. Now days it's too much worst. Please solve network problem, try to understand customer problems. I hope u will solve dis problem as soon as possible.

                        I submitted my driving license for my Airtel prepaid connection, somehow my sim stopped working when I approached Airtel store they refused to provide me a replacement as there was a spelling mistake in my name and my father's name.

                        And now when i call customer care they are like we cant do anything from here.
                        such a huge mistake by airtel cant be ignored. Till date I tried several times but every time i get same answer nothing can be done and I can not get my number again.even though mistake was done by airtel it is me who is suffering airtel is the most irresponsible operator of the country.

                              Hi,
                              I have been using no [protected] for very long time without any problem. But for last few weeks i was getting message to recharge my no as outgoing and incoming validity is going to expire in second week of nov.
                              I followed the instruction mentioned in the message to dial *121*51# but there was nothing productive. So i recharged my no twice with 10 but still no luck and i am still unable to make and receive calls.
                              Why is there nothing mentioned about the way (Recharge amt) which will extend validity.
                              Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                I have been charged twice this month for airg buzz india service, which i never heard of. I never requested to activate any value added service on my below phone number.

                                This seems to be big scam and looting customers. This is a serious issue which needs to be taken care as soon as possible.

                                Please refund my 35 inr + 10 inr to my account.

                                My number is [protected].

                                    1) automatically added international roaming daily limit pack benefit rs 649 pack added on 20th october, can i know who activated this without my permission?

                                    2) since day1 when i have come here i have turned off the data and i see that everyday there are 2-3 entries for the data usage and there is total charge of rs 373
                                    Can i know what this is added? Even when data is turned off.

                                    3) adding both of the above charges you have calculated the tax, which is again a issue.
