Hello,
My name is Supriya. I have been an Airtel customer from the past 3 years. Recently I bought a new Airtel Postpaid Sim. Since then I am trying to activate Airtel Secure plan. But to no avail. I have tried all the methods suggested on the airtel.in site. It just doesn't seem to work. Tried calling the customer care which goes blank. Please suggest what I can do about it.

Thanks in advance

    I am using my airtel sim bearing number [protected] from near about 10 years. I used to recharge 99 every month for 12 months to make it a lifetime prepaid sim card. I have spend near about 1200 rupees. But few days back i got a call regarding validity of my sim. They said i have to recharge rupees 35 to increase validity. Now my query is if they have to implement the validity recharge again then why then started rs 99 monthly lifetime pack before. Why i should always suffer. If the company cant generate average revenue then are we customer liable for that. We have done everything to keep the sim validity going. Now again if same thing we have to do recharge rupees 35 to increase the validity then the company should return my 1200 rupees so that i will recharge rupees 35 and increase validity every month. Company changes rule according to their need which is really a sad thing. We customer always have to suffer from such negligence of the company.

    My sim validity is expiring on 25nov customer care is telling me there is no recharge available for validity extension.

        This is to bring to your attention that a broadband connection with landline no. [protected] was taken for Saket, Delhi ([protected]_dsl) and a request to disconnect the same was put in in September, 2018 because of relocation. I engaged in several phone calls with Airtel Customer Care and they assured me that the connection was disconnected and I will just have to pay the outstanding amount due in October which I did. In November, I received another bill for Rs. 600 for a 50 GB plan that I have NOT OPTED FOR. Kindly check the same provide a solution for this as I am receiving bills for a connection that does not exist.

          I have been using my airtel mobile number for about 4 years now, unfortunately it stopped working from last 2 days due to non usage of more than 3 months, i would like to reactivate again. I have sent a mail to [protected]@airtel.in but no response. Please help me regarding this. I would definitely like to retain this number. I am out of india and would like to get it reactivated as soon as possible.

          Thanks

            Address: Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, 224001

            On November 4 I visited the Airtel store in Faizabad, to upgrade my sim to 4g and he said the person should be present on whom's name the sim is registered as the sim is on my father's name, I asked for some other solution and he told me a unique way to port the Airtel sim to Airtel and some how I get in into his fake talks and agreed upon it he said the sim will be activated in 4 day and as the first recharge is necessary you have to pay 559 and I did that but the sim do not port within 15 days then I went to him to cancel that request of port and refund my payment after lot of arguments he agreed and take my bank account details said that it will be directly sent to your account and till that I have phoned him and visited many times he is not giving me satisfactory answer and once he said you will get mail from company and you will refund today or yesterday or tomorrow bla.. bla .. and now it is getting about one month and now he showing me his unprofessional behaviour that how badly he can talk to the customers ... This is very disappointing and if this is not going to resolve iam deciding to go to the consumer forum to get hell down with 50times more compensation for the inconveniences I have faced ...

            I think you should work upon your store service as your name is not enough for the coustomer they are looking for good service..

              Our family of 4 are using airtel 4g sim from years, recently we are facing issues with the signal strength, calls not connecting, unclear during calls, calls get disconnected in between... The data too is very slow.. Kindly do the needful as soon as possible.. If our problems are not resolved we are planning to port the sim to other company...

              Thank you

                  No connectivity at all now. Airtel network is zero.
                  Forget internet we neither call nor receive any calls.
                  Even after so many complaints so many calls to customer care i am getting the same answer that it will be rectified within 72 hours. But i think now it is more than a week. What you guys really doing i don’t understand.

                  Please consider my request and provide me at least a basic network where we wouldn’t face call drops at least. 4g is still very far for me.

                  Call centre is hapless. Fake promise always, i must tell your call centre is one of the wonders in the earth...!! Who knows how to cheat the customer politely. You know what putting all this in social media is of no use because everyone has the problem. It has become a habit to people now.

                  My final request is if you guys are not able to provide good network, admit it...!! Don’t keep on lie

                  Please consider this at do the needful. Sharm nam ki koi cheez bacha huwa hai tho help karo...!!

                    Suddenly received a msg from airtel that my outgoing service will expire soon if i didn't recharge, my account already has rs100 talktime o[censored]nlimited validity, i did recharge for it on 25th september and recharge before that was done in january. Explain this too me airtel, how can validity expire on a lifetime valid sim. Now all of a sudden, the service terms have changed! Stop fooling your customers for forceful recharges

                      Hi airtel team,

                      I am not having internet connectivity since morning despite of having 251 gb balance available available in my post paid connection, had connect to customer care on 121 as well but didnt get any positive solution.

                      I expect quick revert and request for early resolution as my day to day work is getting impacted.

                      Mobile no - [protected] postpaid connection.

                        Airtel is saying they removed life time validity because trai asked to do so.

                        I searched the links they provided but could not find any inf where trai asked to remove life time validity, i have asked them to provide at least screen shot where trai mentioned to remove lifetime. But they are not doing.

                        They are cheating the customers, they charged 1000 rs saying they will life time validity, but now the they turned back

                                I did not suscribe to the value added service offered by airtel called idiotbox.

                                But i received a message from airtel saying that i have suscribed to this service and that 150 rupees were charged. My number is [protected]

                                This is the message i received from airtel:

                                Idiotbox service has been renewed on your airtel mobile rs 150.0 for 30 day (S). To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223.

                                I have noticed now about this and i have never activated this service.

                                      I raised a complaint with the airtel customer care team about inaccurate international roaming charges for mobile data. I had turned off mobile data and roaming options on my phone throughout the duration of my international trip. However, in the airtel bill's itemized statement, i see that they have charged me a huge amount for the billing period when my mobile data was switched off.

                                      On speaking to the customer care team member, i was bluntly told by them that i have used the mobile data during the said period, so i have been charged for it. They were not willing to listen and dispute this claim.

                                      I am quite shocked that a service provider like airtel would be so unreasonable to the genuine concerns of an old customer like myself, who has always paid my bills on time.

                                      I hope the team would investigate the matter more clearly instead of simply dismissing my complaint to show a speedy resolution.
