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.
            Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
            Please guide me to file a case in consumer Court against Airtel, as I lodged a complain on nov14 but there is no communication or improvement even though it is Airtel who made the mistake.please tell me procedure for filling a complain in consumer court.

              Outgoing calls are barred on my prepaid Airtel number. And there is no guidance to reactivate it. *121*51# does not give any options. Neither the customer care person provide any information to reactivate outgoing calls. How do I reactivate outgoing calls. I repeat Outgoing calls are barred on my prepaid Airtel number.

                  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.

                    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.

                            This is [protected] and i have been a customer with airtel for 10 years with much regret.

                            Furthermore, it is quite simply the last time i am reaching out to express my frustration with your services. My apple watch (Cellular + gps) is still unable to successfully activate the data plan on it, in order for it to function without the phone: which it quite easily can do. This is the third mail i am sending. I have called countless of your customer care executives and managers. All of them blatantly lied and promised a callback within 24 hours and what i received is nothing short of a long wait spanning +8 days with no callback, support, or acknowledgement till date.

                            I am paying rs.3000 as a monthly bill plan for the apple phone i purchased from you + an additional 41000 for the watch i bought thinking it will work. I hope you understand the feeling i feel when none of your representatives takes someone like me seriously, especially after spending 10 years as your non-defaulting customer.

                            Previously your executives mailed me back saying it will be resolved within 2 days, it is exactly 6 days since then, not a call, no reply to further email + plus a customer care supervisor named neha who promised a whole lot and delivered with nothing. You have my recent recordings for [protected] please take the pleasure of hearing it out.

                            I am now on the verge of lodging a consumer court complaint, my case is straightforward and i know i will get justice: with a billing of rs 3000 and flawless track record, i refuse to pay for the phone or the service since i bought the apple devices thinking airtel provides these cellular services and right now, nothing is being done.

                            I have 3 mails that i am keeping as proof and i will use this last mail as a final notice being sent to airtel as a consumer facing grievance with the services.

                                I'm using airtel for many years and i got the message that outgoing validity is getting expired on 12th nov even though i have that balance as rs.290. I dialed *121*51# to extend the validity but there is no options to extend the validity so recharged for 10rs. Now my account balance is 299rs but i am not able to do any outgoing calls...
                                Please help me to resolve this.
