I have given a request for mnp from airtel to vodafone as airtel gives me pathetic network. However my 3 numbers were active in airtel and my primary number got activated in vodafone and two got rejected after so many follow ups with airtel customer care i came to know i have to separate my add on numbers from family plan first then i can port out so i have tried since 8 days they r saying address verification is on hold and sending people on address which i m not staying and have given address several times then too still my request is open and i'm paying bills for vodafone and for airtel too. No one from customer care airtel exec is helping just doing timepass on my query.

    According to new message that i received from the airtel india that i have to pay for all rounder recharge that cost 23 rupees for expanding my validity for using internet, message and calling as i didn't use internet and message service and still have to pay for it and not only that they don't have any other options also for only calling recharge. And further that i have recharged just before some days and still pending 70 rupees in my account i have to pay another 23 for just increasing my validity, and customer center says that it is according to new trai rules and all companies have to do so, while i didn't get any this type of information from other company as i am using bsnl and jio too. While as i explained all this points to customer call center employee, as he was not able to convince me so by saying that i am forwarding it to my manager, ended the call, by calling again same thing replied again and now he has put my call on hold by saying that i am checking on your number. This is my oldest number and i want to continue this and at the same i dont use it much but receive all the incoming calls on this and now my outgoing calls are bared from last 5 days. And incoming will bared from within few days if i do not recharge according to them. I was airtel customer since 2005. I do recharge on this number according to my needs but now i have to recharge every month for no reason. If i do not recharge i can use my current balance for this recharge so that they deduct at least 23 rs in every 28 days in case i dont do any outgoing call so simply they are doing buisness. Really great cheating.

    Hi team,
    I am using Airtel 4G hotspot device for past 1 year and I am not receiving any receipts confirming my payment.
    Post paid number : [protected]
    So, Please send me the payment receipts .
    Why Airtel forced to recharge with RC35?
    I received an sms from Airtel that my outgoing calls would be barred wef November 2018. On calling up the customer care, I was told that as per Trai rules, my outgoing calls will be barred even though i have sufficient balance. All my main balance amount would not be transferred if i do not activate any pack that they are offering
    Mobile phone lost at Delhi and a FIR has already been lodged. Please block this SIM card at the earliest to avoid misuses of this mobile number. If possible please provide a secondary SIM with the same number for further uses please.
    My mobile no is [protected]. I got a message from airtel customer care that my airtel validity will expire on 29/11/2018 and i shall not be able to make any outgoing calls. Kindly resolve the matter. Do i need to go for any recharge to enhance the validity.
    Thanks..

        I recharged my phone on 12th september 2018 for 84 days which was to expire on 4th january 2019. I again hot my phone recharged in advance before expiry date. Now after second recharge they are counting 84 day from 1st january 2019 instead of 5th january 2019.
        I tried to approach the customer care through phone but failed to do so.
        Pl correct the mistake and provide me full benefit of the pack.

              I have been trying to explain how i am unable to pay the postpaid bills and even after replies from 10 different people, i haven't heard one solution that makes sense. I mention that i am out of the country and i have been suggested to walk to the nearest airtel store! If there was one, i would have gladly gone instead of expecting rubbish responses. I clearly asked them to enable otp on registered mail because i wouldn't get on sms as there is no airtel service in my city, the response says, "we have enabled international roaming". No! I still dont get network! All i need is otp on the registered mail so i can pay the bills. This has been so horrible experience as the bills just kept adding up for no reason.

                I got a sales call from airtel executive yesterday and opted to purchase new airtel 4g hotspot device with postpaid sim for 6months plan of rs 2700.
                They told that sim will be activated in 2 hrs.
                Payment was done at around 7pm.
                But its not activated till now. Sales exec is not responding and i am not able to use the internet.
                I know its a holiday.
                But when payment is required upfront, i would expect prompt service activation.

                Hope this can be resolved soon.

                On monday I got call for address verification and after the executive verified the original document proof, the address verification was completed. After several hours, tele-verification failed when I tried from my mobile phone. Finally I took the data card sim and inserted into my mobile for activating it which helped in completing the tele-verification. Will start using and see how much speed is coming.

                      My account has balance of about rs 16. But since it is not recharged for more than a months period, out going calls are blocked and also incoming will be blocked very soon. Portal shows validity for sim ([protected]) as unlimited.
                      I read in paper that telecom service provider cannot stop service if balance is available.
                      This number belongs to my mother for home used and normally its recharged has done asusal it's need.

                            I am not able to recharge my prepaid number which was recently changed from postpaid to prepaid. It gives me a message like transaction failed due to some kind of operator receipt number... I tried to recharge my number from different souces but still the same issue.

                            Can u pls look into this issue and resolve asap.

                            Thanks

                              My mother using [protected] mobile under airtel 2g technology.
                              Every month we are recharging with more than 100 rupees.
                              But out going& incoming call had been disconected for not maintaing mimimum bal i have right to use my phone airtel not force us to use their service as they wher going in loss. Because when they where making profit they had not given share to consumer so i condem this decission..
                              I hope trai will take action against airtel to safegurd consumer right.
                              Day before yesterday recharged with 119 and yesterday they blocked connectivity.
                              When we asked airtel customer care they are lying like this?

                              Me:my mobile number have been recharged with 119 day before yester day.
                              But services stopped and this mobile number is not connecting now! What is the reason?

                              Care: tell your identification
                              Me: told and can you tell me why services were stopped?
                              Care: we are unblocking your services now, you are able to get connectivity in 24 hours.
                              Me: its ok, but why did you stopped services?
                              Care: please wait checking
                              Me: waiting
                              After few minutes
                              Care: if you are recharged with more than 35 your mobile number will have no problem, we will unblock your connectivity.
                              Me: but can you tell me why did you stopped connectivity after we recharged?
                              Care: please wait checking
                              Me: waiting
                              After few minutes,
                              Care: your number got request to block your connectivity and they said sim was gone.
                              Me: can you tell me who was complained, can you tell me his name? Becoz we were not complained.
                              Care: i dont know.

                              Me: you dont know who was complained and when, and how can you block a sim card when it is in service?
                              2 years ago when we ask you to block one of our airtel card you said sim cannot be blocked when it is in use?
                              But now how did you blocked it?

                              Care: put off the call without reply.

                              Dear indian consumer complaint forum can you case a file against airtel and can you punish airtel?

                                The airtel internet services in rahmath nagar, rt nagar, bangalore are poor. This network is so bad that i am sharing hotspot to write this complaint! I got an airtel sim card on 26/10/18 and since that day i have never got privilege o[censored]sing 4g internet on any occasion. The internet works when i'm outside rt nagar, but inside my home it's so feeble that i have to beg my family members (Who are jio users) for sharing their hotspot! It is very irritating that i have hold my phone at different angles, just hoping that i might get some network. Everyday more than 80% of my data goes waste since i'm not able to get proper internet access! I can even share my airtel number for inspection if my complaint is processed. Please, help.

                                -from an unhappy customer.

                                        I am highly disappoint by airtel because its almost 4 days but my airtel sim not yet activated. I have already called customer care about the issue but they gave always a different reply. My sim has been stolen and airtel store alloted me a duplicate sim and said that your sim will be activated within 24 hours but its not activated till now. What can i do now???
                                        Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
