1860 numbers not connecting

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560024

I have been trying to connect to my axis bank customer care[protected] from my mobile number [protected] but not being able to do so. Its saying no balance even though my plan is unlimited plan of Rs 559. Why is it Airtel only blocking 1860 numbers call, however why I'm able to call from idea sim ?...

Requested for mnp for [protected] at airtel store on 10/11/18.
Got confirmation via sms from airtel that airtel no. Will be activated on 15/11/18 at 22:00. Vodafone sim stopped working at same time but airtel sim has still not activated. Since 15/11/210 my no. Is not working. Due to this i am not able to use banking services as well as official work is getting hampered. I have visited airtel store many times as well as talked to customer care many times but still no. Is not activated. This is the worst experience with airtel. Nonody in airtel is ready to help.

    The airtel has stopped the service validity of the prepaid customer's. Reson is not known and the reply to the query is to go ahead with validity recharge of 35 rs per 28 days, ie every month we need to pay some amount to make your service outgoing and incoming active.

    It is equivalent to electricity /landline / postpaid bill cycle per month. The service is also not so appreciable.

      The request for providing additional set top box has not been resolved even after passage of 50 hours. It is regretted to note that no representative has contacted me on my registered mobile number.
      It is requested that the complaint may be resolved at earliest.

        My mobile no. [protected]. I have received message from axarwinf which reads: please note. Services on your airtel mobile will be valid till current pack validity. After pack expiry, it is necessary to reacharge with unlimited or smar1*51#. Another message says "your o/g valid till 05.12.2018". I have a balance talk time of rs. 191. Please clarify me why i am being cheated. I am a practising advocate. Immediate rectification is requested.

                Dear airtel
                Iam constantly facing issues in my location.
                I called 100 times to airtel only to know that they will the problem soon it's been like 3 years no action on your end.
                Although there is 4g voltee already introduced in our locality (Greater noida) but due to know no network coverage i can't make call from within my home. There are several people facing the same issue in my locality.

                one more thing i don't why your website airtel.in you can't check status of your complaints as you used in last 2 years . There is a problem you can't select complaint type so no complain status is shown.

                  We, as a customer feel cheated by airtel for sudden stoppage of service validity of prepaid sim cards.
                  I got msg that services will be stopped (Outgoing& incoming and then lose number) if not recharged with monthly pack.
                  This is cheating.
                  I spent ₹200 for lifetime validity recharge in 2008 and got lifetime validity till december 2037.
                  That amounts to ₹449 today considering inflation rates.
                  So if they are abolishing the services then give back our validity recharge amount first.

                  Secondly they cannot compel us to recharge every month. Because not everyone is wealthy and also there are times when we don't use services like exams for students or any health issues etc.

                  Third thing is most o[censored]s have dual sim phones. And some have more than 2 sim cards because they belong business in multiple states.
                  So in this case, do you want to make customer recharge each and every sim with monthly combo pack??

                  This is unacceptable.
                  Airtel has cheated customers.
                  You can't compel us to do whatever you want.
                  And if you really want to do that., then refund all our money that we spent back in years for service validity recharge..

                          Bharti airtel activated first mobile no on 10 oct 18, second on 12 oct 18 and amazon prime video on 29 oct 18 as per 649 plan. They generated bill for period 26 sep - 25 oct 18 with charges from 09 oct 18. I asked them to generate bill from period 09/ 10 oct 18 till 31 oct 18 and thereafter from 1st to last date of month. Also, i asked them to credit my second no balance amount which was airtel prepaid to postpaid change, as per their scheme. The call centre saying cant help and the nodal and apellate officers mobile and email ids indicated on airtel and trai website are incorrect. Have been making emails and calls daily and they promised that they would escalate matter to resolve. However, there has been no response from them for about 10 days and last two days they deactivated services of the two nos. How can they do like this? They are at fault for not having in place a grievance mechanism and dictating their own bill period especially when the mobile was not activated during that time. How can i take legal action against them? Please help.

                            Hi,

                            I have paid inr 448 for 82 days and added additional inr 800 to activate international roaming for canada on my mobile number - +91-[protected] but both my offline calls and data aren't working. I am not receiving incoming calls. 121 doesn't work and i don't find any other way to reach out to the airtel team to resolve my issue. When traveling abroad, it is lot more important to stay connected to handle regular tasks. Visited rogers office in ottawa, your partner in canada to resolve it but they cannot help from their end. Extremely dissatisfied when trying to connect to your customer service. No connect.

                                Please note that i have a balance of rs. 634 which has a unlimited validity.

                                Received a message today saying important update - outgoing & incoming service on your airtel mobile number 98xxxxxxx has expired. To restart, recharge now, dial *121*51#.

                                This is totally unacceptable to keep my money which they are blocking forcing me to recharge for a unlimited pack. They are claiming that they have upgraded their policy and it cannot be changed.

                                  I migrated my airtel postpaid no to prepaid. Before migration the airtel executive assured me that i will get lifetime validity prepaid plan with no minimum recharge required. The call is recorded on my mobile. After the no was migrated from postpaid to prepaid, the person at 198 callcentre told me that lifetime validity plan is no more. I will have to recharge my no after the expiry of the running recharge validity. I had been misled by airtel.

                                    Greetings!

                                    I have complained many times to airtel that i don’t receive your bill. I also dont get any ebill. I have asked airtel to give me only paper bill. They have never sent me any paper bill and because of that either my landline get disconnected or they charge me late fees penalty. They haven’t done anything yet. They dont give me any bill. I want you to look in the matter and ask them to send me paper bill always. My landline number is +[protected].

                                    Regards
