Hi team,

I am unable to reset mpin of my airtel wallet.

Account information is said as invalid.

I have loaded money to wallet and i am not able to use it now. I have done such transactions earlier, and it has been successful, but this time mpin is invalid and account information too is not considered.

Please do the needful at the earliest.

Thanks.

      This is haritha (*) i'm under plan corp-199 and my billing period is[protected] to[protected] for this cycle i received bill for 478.75 the bill due date is[protected] and again i received one more bill amounting rs.638.16/-due on[protected] with immediate effect i paid the amount of rs.638.16/- on[protected] reference number[protected] for your reference i have attached the copy of receipt.

      But today again when i logged into my airtel app its showing an outstanding amount of 349/- but it should be zero as i made the total payment, i spoke to the customer care they said i have changed my billing cycle but to my knowledge i didn't changed the billing plan or billing cycle in the past three years.

      And the customer care executive is told me that only 289/-is paid from my end but i paid a total amount of 638/-for which i attached the receipt below and received the confirmation from your end as well

      So please give me a detailed clarification about the amount which i paid and the why the amount is not reflecting in your data base. And without my knowledge how can the airtel change my billing cycle for which you should inform me before changing my cycle

      I sent mail to ‎[protected]@in. Airtel.com but they didn't respond till now

          I have been using airtel service for more than 10 years now and bill payment was always in time.
          This is regards to the issue i am facing with airtel connectivity and the billing for the same.
          I have already raised this issue with airtel support when someone contacted me for the bill. Each day i received calls from various customer support rep asking me to pay the bill and i would explain repeatedly on my concern. I was also promised by many that an engineer is working on to resolve the network issue and it would take sometime and in the meanwhile i need to pay the bill for the service to continue. I had also told airtel customer service to suspend my service and resolve the network issue first. It has been more than 4 months and the issue is not resolved yet. I also get several calls daily from the automated machine to pay the bill and also from the reps. Finally the claims department repeatedly called me to pay the bill and threatened me daily that they would send their executive to my office if i don't pay the bill. This is really irritating. They already have case history and call history about the issues am facing and still call me to bother me instead fixing the problem.

          Issue: there is intermittent connectivity issue. Every single minute the connection breaks and disconnects. I cannot work on my system with improper connectivity.
          No one is able to fix this problem and i have stopped using the dongle and also have asked airtel to cancel my connection which they don't want to do. Airtel sent an engineer to my place to check the connection in the month of august. He said there seems to be a problem with the network and he would escalate it to the next level engineer and he promised a week time to resolve the issue. But there has been no fix to the problem. Now, am not interested in the service as i find better service provider. My usage was minimum and airtel claims team know only to threaten customers and they were not ready to listen to my concern at all. I was really shocked to see airtel with the worst service to the customer. All they need is money, but can't fix the problem. Now, i have paid 1700 and aug to sep, i have not used the service at all, so am not paying.

          Also, airtel would suspend the service when the customer does not pay the bill after due date. My question, how can my bill show as outstanding for 3 months?

          Attached is my payment and the usage for aug to sep.

          Can airtel address the issue in a gentle manner rather threatening customers?

                I'm a old customer and I recharge my airtel number regularly. Still I got this message that my outgoing services will be stopped soon. I've read various complaints regarding this matter and even those people who got their number recharged, their services were stopped anyhow.
                Is this a new way for airtel to loot people because it can't compete with jio anymore?
                Kindly help. I don't want any of my services to be stopped.

                  Website: airtel.in

                  I contacted airtel for a new broadband connection. Airtel sales person asked me to pay for the required broadband plan, and i transferred inr 6007 online. Also paid inr 150 to him for further document processing.
                  After constant follow-up for 2 days, they finally told me that the promised network speed is not available at my area, and hence they cannot provide the connection.
                  I asked them (Sales guy and his supervisor) to refund 6007+150, and it has been 7 days of multiple follow up calls to the sales guy and his supervisor, but these have resulted in no fruitful scenario.
                  Customer support has called me thrice, and told me the'll soon be sending the installation team! When i told the cs executive in the 1st call that i have already asked for a refund and cancellation of the plan, she said she'd update the information in the system. But apparently even that's useless, as the 2nd and 3rd calls from cs also said they are updating the status.
                  Airtel is running some sham business... I am stunned at their customer management style.
                  No idea as to when i'll receive the refund.

                          Airtel has changed his plans. It is very worst decision by airtel. Please make plans of small amounts also. All people cannot recharge for big sum. But this will make people to leave using their services. I hope airtel will do something regarding this. Already their services are getting worse, so i request them not to just think about them. People will use their services if they are good and have good recharge plans

But they demand money to sim upgrade rs.80. Previously also they demand money rs. 150 about my airtel no.[protected]. That time i am given a complaint to airtel store/distributor which located in my city, that's name, hanuman prasad soni, hanuman trading company, sirpur-kaghaznagar-504 296. Today also they demand money. I call to airtel call center but that person also tell the same. How much amount the distributor demanding, you pay and take upgraded sim. That's way i am sending this complaint. Sir not only that store total kaghaznagar and other places everyone demand money for sim upgradation. So kindly look the matter very seriously and solve the issue. If not mo body can upgrade airtel sim, and so many my friends and realitives change network to mobile portability free off cost. I am also looking the same. I am waiting for your reply.

                                It has been 1 year since complaining regarding airtel - volte for motorola z play.

                                Recently airtel has added more than 6 motorola devices.

                                You can check on www.airtel.in/volte.

                                Why airtel is not concentrating on premium high-end devices like motorola z series?

                                Even mid-range moto phones have airtel - vodafone volte.

                                Recently worlds biggest android phone maker google pixel has released airtel - vodafone volte for there devices after getting massive complaints from users in google forums (Xda reported)

                                https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-2-volte-suppo...

                                Can you please discuss with airtel technical support team regarding this and can you please solve this issue soon, because we cant connect & receive call fastly on 4g network, switching is slow from 4g to 3g / 2g. If volte is there then we can connect call fastly by 4g network.

                                Kindly please release firmware for motorola z play.

                                I hope you understand this situation.

                                Now please atleast say this, will motorola z play get airtel volte or not? Atleast reply this.
                                Because, if your response is no, then i will sell this crap lenova, cant wait anymore.

                                Its hard to accept that 25000₹ device is not supporting airtel volte.

                                Please forward this to concerned department.

                                Thank you!

                                Still didnt get any responds from Airtel team,
                                Not even a single Call from Airtel team.

                                issue is not still resolved.

                                  Dear sir/madam

                                  My airtel sim [protected] of tn circle had a life time validity when i purchased it about 9 years back. But had received a message that it is ending soon. Please let me know what i should do increase the expiry time.
                                  If not possible as to how to get back the amount in the sim. Is it possible to transfer the money to vodafone sim.
                                  Thank you

                                      I am facing airtel network issue from last 3 days.
                                      Its really irritating after paid for prepaid package of rs. 500/- almost 10-15days before n still not able to use the data n network as well.

                                      Its really disgusting, now i am sending this message thru my wifi network.

                                      Airtel stop making false advertisement of india's best network n all.

                                      Its really like making people fool.
