Kindly do the needful as my sim has stopped working since yesterday. I guess the reason would be no outgoing calls since past 60days or so.
I have been an airtel users since past 10years. I have had the same number as i am abroad since past 5months i wasn't able to do any out going calls.
Also i had maintained the balance of around rs.1000+ and every month i was being charged for rs.100 for international roaming rental.

Now i have all my financial transactions and other important stuffs linked to my personal airtel number which is +91 [protected] has stopped due to deactivation.

I request you to take this up on priority and activate my sim.
You help will be highly appreciated.

      Airtel Network is very very poor in Khidki and south Delhi. Never phone gets connected in Hauz Rani and Khriki extension. People are switching to other operators. My Airtel no hardly works and everybody complaining me about call not connecting. When others call on my no it says no is invalid due to Network issue.

        Hi,

        I have had a single SIM card from the last 15 years. I was with Vodafone but eventually moved to Airtel for "better" service. But what Airtel has done now is unpardonable.

        2 days back, they have recycled my number and deactivated all services. I called Airtel customer care and they said they have no history of me being with them ever!!! They said they do not know me or my number and said they cant help and I cannot get back my number..!!!

        I have tied up all my services from the last 15 years on this number and out of the blue they deactivate my number even without a warning. I hadn't been using the number of late as I am out of India and I have been doing a recharge every 45 days and making outgoing calls. The last recharge done was on October 8th. I have a message from Airtel thar says to recharge within 90 days to keep the services and I have been doing it every 45 days to be safe. How can they deactivate services of a number I held for 15 years even after I have followed their instructions to the dot. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

            I have registered dnd. Airtel is not taking actions to stop marketing calls or sms. I had raised dnd multiple times with airtel. They usually inform me that it will be resolved in 10 days and nothing happens. I don't get an option to block certain numbers since we cannot see their number. We can see some alpha number or just a few alphabets. Airtel is allowing these 3rd party companies harass us by allowing them to contact us without having to provide their contact details. If we had their contact number, we can atleast block them.

            As consumers, we need to have the ability to block unwanted calls, messages. The telecom company is hiding the contact details/ allowing third party companies to contact us without valid numbers/telecom companies are
            hiding their details.
            I am trying to port from Airtel(initially telenor converted to Airtel) to Jio due high call rates and no data signal.such a worst cheater service i hate eventhough if they wont provide UPC code i will throw away this Airtel Sim and get a new jio.

            my msg to all others : dont get onto Airtel.

              My Airtel sim has suddenly stopped working. It is only active for Emergency calls. I have tried changing the sim sot and manually setting up the network. Since all my official areas are bind with this airtel number, its an emergency to fix my airtel network.

                Hi team,

                I'm unable to recharge to my airtel number ([protected]).
                I recently changed from post paid to prepaid.
                I got message saying that you are converted to prepaid after i went to near by airtel showroom and ask representative to recharge
                He said that it will take 24-48 hrs. There is no provision to report my complaint. Unable to call any one. Here i'm facing big problem so i'm raising the complaint

                Please do needful here

                Thanks

                    Airtel provided new modem last week and I found that primary DNS Server was 59.144.144.100 which seems to be server being used to hack my internet connection. The secondary DNS server was 202.56.215.54 which may be correct i.e. Airtel. I am attaching the screenshot and would like to highlight this fraud.

                        I'm facing a serious issue with airtel network. They have barred my incoming calls and outgoing messages on my number since 06 months which is my primary number since 5years. Even after calling customer service more than 20 times and visiting stores for more than 10 times my issue has not been resolved from last few months.

                        I started facing this problem since april when i lost my telenor sim (Airtel now). When i bought the telenor sim i had no issues but when it got totally converted into airtel suddenly my all outgoing incoming calls/messages have been stopped. I called customer care therefore i got outgoing calls and incoming messages but still i don't get incoming calls and outgoing messages.

                        Reason given from airtel : as you have put for the sim lost we have barred them.

                        Everytime i call customer care executive he says i have put on the request it will get activated in next 72hours.

                        I went to multiple stores even circle office begumpet, hyderabad he said i have emailed them it will get activated in next 24hours. But nothing has changed since 06 months. I can't even change to another network as even i cannot send message to 1900.

                        I skipped my business days just to go behind airtel to get back everything into normal but i haven't seen any effort from them. Strictly i want trai to take action on them.

                        Regards,
                        Vishal mishra.

                          Suddenly on 25 november 2018 the airtel sim on my phone stopped working. Initially thought it might be a phone problem. Restarted phone several times, changed sim slot, tried it in another phone, tried stopping other services like wifi. All of no use.
                          All this without any intimation from airtel. I was about to receive important calls and messages on this number. Lost peace of mind due to this carelesness.

                            Deducted sum from pre-paid amount without any consent for vemes by service provider. An introductory sms and thereafter service activation with amount deduction sms was received immediately. Worst kind of service from airtel is quite unexpected. Customer care executives are not available over to their helpline while trying to reach. Kindly resolve.

                              I recharged for 1gb per day pack for 28 days to my airtel number. But net speed is very very poor and low. Nowadays airtel is cheating the customer. After 8 years now decided to port the number to another network. Why giving 2 g net speed by collecting the money for 4 g? By keeping this kind of worst network and charging amount for incoming call also?

                                I am using this number from a long time but suddenly a message comes which says your phone outgoing service would be deactivated though I was having a sufficient balance.It also says that your incoming calls would be deactivated if you do not recharge your number soon. When I complained regarding this to customer care they say this is the new policy of Airtel company so you have to get a recharge regularly to continue our services.Resolve this problem as soon as possible.

                                  This kind of [censored] network I’ve never seen anywhere. Paying 400 for 80 days and not even getting 2g speed In cities. Shame on AIRTEL. Never play this ads. Lol Refund my money if you have ethics. And my mobile is iPhone 5s facing this issue from 9 [censored] months. No data speed.

                                  Please do the needful

                                    For last five days with 4g network i neither can call or receive call. The moment one calls a "call ended"message pops up. My earlier complaint on 20th nov'18 gave me a complaint no 88631272 but the problem is yet to be solved. My repeated mails to [protected]@airtel.com goes on sending copy and paste (Exactly same word to word) replies by the two advisers, customer care without a reason for the outage. Further they advise to give a missed call to 515 which i did but the network team goes on sending me sms messages that my phone is not reachable. This is ridiculous, as when my complaint is no call received how would they expect to connect me. Instead they would know something is wrong and attend to it. But i continue to get the messages "give a missed call" and the standard computer reply not reachable. Is it reall the company practice of dealing with complaints? The outage is for too long period and beyond limits of tolerance! Nanda

                                      I have a prepaid airtel sim for last 11 years. It had a lifetime validity with the latest validity of nov 2028. Today all of a sudden i got a message saying that the validity is not reduced to 28-nov-2018. I checked the validity by sending *123# for balence and validity and indeed the validity has reduced. The message from airtel says that noe i need to recharge with rc35 for continued services. Is this not cheating? Can i get my money back to my account if airtel does not want me as a customer?
