Previously my validity was 2032. Now it shows 23 nov 2018. And show message that i have recharge with rs. 35 to enjoy uninterrupted service.
Why the hell i have to recharge with unlimited plan, while i have my balance
Rs 115???
Then whats the use of my balance???
Airtel is always trying to loot customer by making such moves.
If this continues, the option remain is mnp.

              Sir, i have issued a simcard of airtel by offering me good scheme.
              My first sim was of vodafone & through good scheme i have decided to go with airtel. They have ported my following number to airtel network.

                My phone showed me mm sim not allowed and there was no network. Went to a shop near by and replaced my sim. After 4g sim replacement i am unable to send or receive sms. I tried calling their customer care however it seemed there is nobody to attend my call as i was made to listen to recorded advertisements for 5 minutes after which i hung up. Now that i can't receive any messages i am unable to complete any online transactions that require otp through sms as this is my primary number.

                  I have claimed airtel secure insurance claim for my damaged handset and submitted all documents to airtel on 15 nov 2018.
                  My case is being rejected on the reason that IMEI is activated before the purchase around June 23 2017, where as my invoce is of 2nd sept 2017. So i have enquried this with samsung as i have purchased the mobile from Samsung.com only. The service centre has provided me the screenshot about the activation of my IMEI on 4th Sept 2017, which is after the purchase.
                  Airtel does not even submit me the document proof for june activation. so this is clear fraud rejection just to avoid the claim.

                    Problem:
                    I had recently been called by airtel's customer care exactly 3 months back offering to port my mobile number from tata docomo (+91-[protected]) operator to airtel as tata docomo is shutting down (As i've been told).
                    I had been mislead that if i switch my network to airtel, only porting to postpaid is possible and i can switch to prepaid account after 4 months.

                    The fix airtel provided :

                    Dear joshi,

                        I recharged my airtel number with some 100 bucks or so. Even when i dint use not even like 10 rupees out of it, my current balance is 7 rupees and that i came to know when i got a call from airtel regarding cutting down my connection if i dont get it recharged soon. There's no proper platform to talk to customer care as well for grievance management.

                          I have been using my number for about 14 years now and came to us was still recharging my number. Without sending me an email or any notification airtel assigned my number to someone else. I am at a high security risk as this number is connected to my bank accounts etc. Airtel - please check this immediately and help me in getting my number back. I have screenshots of my previous recharge and it’s not 90 days yet

                            I've been a prompt customer for airtel using their mobile and broadband network for over 8 years now. I called airtel customer service on 18/11/2018 to request for a disconnection of my broadband connection due to bad fluctuations in the connection, due to which i was not able to use my internet. However, while talking to one of the supervisors, i was almost convinced to continue the service with a lower plan. However, by gods grace this rep started explaining me about my plan and i learnt that airtel is charging me rs 200 extra per month for the last 1 year 6 months for providing me additional 50gb data each month. The irony is that i had 1, 000 gb data left behind from my monthly usage. For a plan of 1, 100 i was charged 1, 700 a month and this airtel did it for over 16 months.

                            How shameless can you guys be, the amount of money you spend on your advertisement to get new customers, you can spend 1% of it on your existing customers to keep them happy. Today, i am out of airtel's network and very soon, people will understand the kind of scammers you are and will leave you guys with nothing.

                                Dear Airtel,

                                It has been 6 months since I am facing network issue in Pune area near Hinjawadi. It's a huge city and surprisingly there is a very bad signal for Airtel network. Your company claims to be the best network provider but in reality, it's not.

                                I am not alone many airtel customers are facing same issue.

                                The connection is so weak that I can't contact your customer care. Kindly maintain your network instead of giving false information in advertisements.

                                Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible.
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                  I am an airtel customer having airtel sim across 12 years but few days before i got an massage form airtel that my service has been discontinued after 23 nov 2018 if i don't recharge my airtel number with rs. 35 or than i immediately recharge my no. With 12 yrs. They give me 34 something rs in my balance and 100 mb across net data

                                  Then i want to make an outgoing calls but after tapping on call button the call immediately ended
                                  Can't understand why this problem raised. Another thing is in my account main balance is rs. 4398 approx. If i not recharge then what will happen with is amount. Why i can't use this money. This ultimately disappointment.
                                  Please solve this problem as soon as possible. If not i must complain about this in consumer forum court.

                                    Airtel claims to be the fastest network but in real it is worse among Vodafone and Jio. The 4G speed is like I am using Internet 5 years ago. It is not even to send simple whatsapp messages so what can one expect.
                                    On complaining to airtel CUSTOMER CARE, they give best answer and the attitude they show is like they are doing pity on us by providing internet. They put blame on us saying that out of 1.4 gb u have used 1gb that means you have good internet. Are we ###.. I had 400 mb left by 2pm then till night the speed was so great that I used only 7mb more leaving 393mb as it is. They are like joking with us. CUSTOMER CARE says airtel is good and put all blame on us. They have so much autocratic behaviour. I have even said that I would port my sim then they said it will take 7 days laughingly. I guarantee I will get all my knowns airtel sim ported. I think they are shifting from India to Africa so they are so rude. Worst CUSTOMER CARE services and slowest Internet. In my area jio and Vodafone give me downloading speed around 3 mbps easily but airtel is dead at 200 250 kbps.. I will definitely port my sim after my 4G unlimited pack ends..I had used airtel since I had phone but now It will end. It is barrier to digital India and CUSTOMER CARE services is worse ever I have seen...

                                        I have Airtel D2h account from last 7 years. Customer Id is [protected].
                                        I have recently stop using Airtel from last 2 months as local service provider was giving me cheaper option. I used to get calls from Airtel Customer Care with different offers.
                                        Recently on 22nd October I got a call from Airtel Customer care giving an offer of 1199 recharge for 12 months for all SD channels which I used to have earlier. There were 2 commitments made and the same are issues which are not resolved.

                                        1. I was told that I will get instant 100 Rs cashback, if I recharge via Paytm / Airtel Bank. I have recharged via paytm and have not received cahsback yet.

                                        2. I was told that this package will contain all SD channels and I reconfirmed that is it atleast equivalent to my earlier package and I was given assurance that all Entertainment / News and Kids channel are present in this recharge. After recharge I found, maximum Hindi movie channels are missing, Z Business, CNBC Awaaz are missing. After one week, no channels are coming.

                                        I am following on this with customer care and I did not find any response.

                                        Earlier on 31st Oct Nodal officers confirmed 2 weeks back that your TV will start soon and I have recording for that conversation.

                                        Please help in resolving this on priority as I recharged almost a month back.
