Phone number :- [protected]
I have register complain multiple times regarding network issue but airtel team promises every time that we will resolve your complain please stay with airtel and they never tried to resolve it. Last to last month also i raised a complain and since now it's not resolved. Because of same issue i'm unable to use internet, currently more than 160 gb data is available in my account but it's not usable. Airtel team please respond who is responsible for it. Also i tried to switch to other networks and called to airtel customer support but not getting proper information about current outstanding due to which i am unable to switch as well. Lastly i stopped paying that high monthly bill

      I am having telecom service on my mobile number [protected] (Post paid plan rs.199) from airtel. On 12th oct, 2018 i received an sms - starting 19/10/2018 my phone number is upgraded to rs.199. Since i was already in rs.199 plan i ignored the same. However this was not implemented. On 2nd nov, 2018 again i recd. A sms starting 19/11/2018 i am being upgraded to rs.199 plan. However, on 19th nov, 2018 i am shocked to see that i have been upgraded to rs.299 plan and not rs.199 plan as informed to me through their sms. On taking up with their customer care they say that rs.199 plan is not available and the minimum plan is rs.299. This was not informed to me earlier. They have deliberately kept me in dark. This is a clear case of cheating. I want the authorities like rai to take immediate action.

          Iam getting an error 536 when try to dial *121#. I recently done postpaid to airtel postpaid. Its already 7 days my sim got converted to prepaid.
          Customer care and airtel support is not giving proper support.
          Customer care people transfer call airtel prepaid representative to postpaid representative and vice versa. They are playing with me. I am frustrated.

          Initially before conversion to prepaid for 6 days airtel store people told they have s/m issue they cant perform conversion. After conversion by them they are also not giving proper support.

          Pleas find the below address
          Airtel store address:
          Airtel express
          Surya complex, no 19, c block, doddathoguru rd, konappana agrahara, bengaluru, karnataka 560100

            I had recharged for 1000 rupees pack (Lifetime validity, full talk time) on 29th october 2018.
            Now on november 8, i'm getting message saying my outgoing will expire on 24 november 2018 and incoming will expire on 09 december 2018.

            I tried to recharge from *121*51#. I'm getting various packs but i am not getting option to activate the pack. So i am not able to use my 780 rupees main balance.
            Only way now for me to recharge is to pay money again in airtel app or from other services like paytm.
            I called customer care 3 times, each call going for 20+ minutes, but no one is solving the issue. They promised call back, but didn't even after 2 days.

            But main issue is, when i chose pack of lifetime validity and full talk time, how can you change rules in middle after i paid 1000 rs??

              Dear sir,
              This is to raise a complaint against the accidental insurance for mobile phone provided by airtel (Product name - airtel secure) with the third party one secure and insurance provider national insurance.
              I had enrolled for the airtel secure plan with my mobile services provider airtel towards the accidental damage coverage of my cell phone.

              The airtel secure customer service called me in order to request for claim, i have uploaded all the relavant documents.

              After another 2-3 days airtel secure sent me an email stating that the claim had been refused by the insurer (National insurance) due to "improper handling"

              The breakage of the mobile had happened due to accidently dropping my phone from hand while trying to answer a call. This was explained in my claim form as well as in my subsequent conversation with the claim appraiser or the mis department of the insurance/one assist.

              I understand that you are the correct authority to write to for such malafide practice by airtel secure in collusion with one assist and national insurance.

              Please let me know of the next steps for a formal complaint procedure.

              Regards,
              Rajesh gala

                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 and then after few days all my incoming callls would also be barred even though i have sufficient balance. They also told me that all my main balance amount would not be transferred if i do not activate any pack that they are offering.

                I want to know whether this is a rule which has been regulated by Train itself or Airtel is forcing us by this fraudulence to activate their packs.

                          Hello sir,

                          I have accidentally recharged a wrong number ([protected]) instead of ([protected]) on 19th nov 2018 from paytm.

                          I am looking forward to receiving help regarding the reversal of the same, recharge amount 448rs.

                          Reference no:[protected]

                          I have attached an invoice of the recharge details and provided the reference number as given by paytm.

                          Best regards,
                          Harpreet mehta

                            Hi airtel team,
                            My mobile# [protected] was having balance rs 426 till yesterday and currently its showing as rs 227. Also, today morning i received a message stating "rs 99 have been deducted towards the international roaming rental activated on 17-nov-18". But fyi, i didn't activated neither requested to activate any such services.
                            It has been noted that since last few months i am getting such issues related to automatic activation o[censored]nwanted services and deduction from main balance towards these services.
                            Kindly provide me a waiver of rs[protected]=199) and please deactivate all such unwanted and international roaming rental services.

                            Kind regards
                            Pooja chouksey

                              I have been trying to connect to my axis bank customer care[protected] from my mobile number [protected] but not being able to do so. Its saying no balance even though my plan is unlimited plan of Rs 559. Why is it Airtel only blocking 1860 numbers call, however why I'm able to call from idea sim ?

                                Requested for mnp for [protected] at airtel store on 10/11/18.
                                Got confirmation via sms from airtel that airtel no. Will be activated on 15/11/18 at 22:00. Vodafone sim stopped working at same time but airtel sim has still not activated. Since 15/11/210 my no. Is not working. Due to this i am not able to use banking services as well as official work is getting hampered. I have visited airtel store many times as well as talked to customer care many times but still no. Is not activated. This is the worst experience with airtel. Nonody in airtel is ready to help.

                                  The airtel has stopped the service validity of the prepaid customer's. Reson is not known and the reply to the query is to go ahead with validity recharge of 35 rs per 28 days, ie every month we need to pay some amount to make your service outgoing and incoming active.

                                  It is equivalent to electricity /landline / postpaid bill cycle per month. The service is also not so appreciable.
