Sub: - reminder to activate sim-card

I had airtel prepaid sim ([protected]) since 2 year but now its deactivated by airtel, then i goto airtel store and get it back but it gives me in postpaid,
I had purchased sim card from your gallery on 15th november 2018. But still the card is not activated.
I have been contacted to you gallery as well as your customer services but the executive doesn’t give satisfied answer. So stop this harassment and help me out. Other wise i am going to complaint to customer forum.

So please do the needful for that before i take a rusty steps.

    My name is raghunath dere & my airtel mobile number is +91-[protected]
    Airtel have charge me rs 99 on 3 nov 2018 for superstore service.
    I dont have email id so i am writing mail through my grandkid's email id.
    After talk with customer care they told me the service is active by wap & they cant refund my money as i am not eligible for refund. And she wae very very rude while speaking.
    I have not used my mobile internet from the day i purchase sim of aitel because i even dont know how to use internet. Airtel have activate service without my consent.
    If airtel does not solve it & refund me i have to transfer my number other other operator using mnp. This is not the first time airtel activate service without my consent its happen before.
    If i have to file police complaint i will, as i am sick of airtel lies service.
    So look in to this matter.

            I asked them to change company name on the bill from csc to hcl, so firstly the asked

            A sample number
            Mail from my office id
            Company id card

            After that, i received a confirmation that it will be done by 8 pm. Later i found that they have changed it to nec i never asked for and also they changed the address to old one which was there 2 years back. I asked appellate team the reason why they change it to name which i did not ask. They did not revert with reason instead they saying in order to change the name i have to visit the nearest center. I again asked the same question and again they just copy and paste the same mail. Seems to me that no one is bothered about what just happened and this is airtel for you. They don't call you and instead send you msg your number is not reachable and who's fault this is??

                    Hi,

                    I've raised one network complaint by may 2018 and following up continuously. My complaint sr number is c4gsp[protected]. When sending follow up, immediately or very next day i will get a call and an sms saying we're working to resolve this issue. This will resolve soon. But the problem still existing and airtel agreeing that, this is their complaint.

                    I've requested the expected completion date of this rectification and they don't have any answer/idea on it. Due to bad service voice calls also getting disconnected in between rather than reported data issue.
                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                          For the last 2 months am not getting proper internet on my 2 airtel nos. One is prepaid and other is post paid... Which has accumulated 122 gb data which i can't use. Being a business person this is affecting my work.
                          Made complaints y walking into offices... But to no avail.
                          Why give or announce packages for users if the company cannot provide... This is all a gimmick.
                          Kindly improve ur infra structure asap... Don't know what else to say.
                          Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                              Sir,

                              I am dinesh ram, chennai.

                              I got a call from airtel on 24.10.2018 from [protected] requesting to join airtel from existing mobile vendor. After discussing the plan details (Rs. 399 plan), they assured a person will come to my home for doing all the porting works and recharge.

                              The same day a person named sadham[protected] approached my home and gave details to port two numbers to airtel. He also said that intial recharge will be done only at the company store and requested for rs. 800 (Rs. 399 for each number) and i gave the same.

                              In two days, one of my number got ported and i requested saddam to do the recharge for that number. He did the same. The second number took a long time for porting (Ported on 15.11.2018 at 12:00 am) and after it is successfully ported to airtel, i asked saddam to do the recharge for my second number also.

                              This time, saddam[protected] is not answering properly and keeps on avoiding my call for the past 3 days. Whenever i call him from a different number, he picks the call and saying recharge will be done in 30 minutes. But nothing is happening. I suspect he is storing that different mobile number also, as whenever i called him from that new number, he is not picking again.

                              I want the person to do the proper recharge of rs. 399 to my mobile number.

                                  Hello, i have recharged for 4g pack amounting to inr.399 through online on 1st nov'2018. The transaction was failed but the amount has been deducted from my bank a/c. I hve called customer care they told me that the amount will be credited in next seven days but till date the amount got debited from my account not credited back to my account. Once the transaction is failed you have to proper steps to refund that amount. Whenever i tried calling customer care they always made a excuse and extend the date its such a waste of time. Its been more than 15 days when will i get my refund back. Its not a small amount to ignore it what can i do for this i am stressed about this situation. Will i get my refund or not. This is my third complaint here still the problem not solved. Such a worst customer service. Where can i complaint about this my time and energy is totally wasting.

                                    I had taken 1 days international pack for 24.10.18 and the same pack was de-activated on the same day and message received for de-activation on my mobile. But airtel charges rs.852/- for data usage charges from 26.10.18 to 29.10.18 and rs.649/- for one day pack dated 30.10.18. Please clarify if any one use data after its de-activation. On the pre-text that data usuage due to poor wi-fi system
