    Hi team,

    My mobile number [protected] has been recycled and this is impacting my day to day life. There are major impacts which will ruin my business. Kindly request you to allot me the number [protected] with a new sim card.

    I have been told by customer support that this number has been recycled. I need this number back.

    Incident took place on 25 sep 2018

    I had it working fine all these years.

    I had ported from docomo to bsnl and then to airtel.

    There are severe impacts of losing this number. Kindly fix this earliest. This is of prime importance.

    Reach me on [protected]@gmail.com for any further information or communication.

                Whatsmob service activated without i asking for or activating from my airtel number. Amount of rs. 75/- is also deducted from my prepaid balance. I deactivated as per sms from airtel. But money is not credited back in my prepaid balance. I got message that this service is activated n my airtel mobile number. I even do not know what is this service. I never activated it. This is really a theft by this company airtel. I request you to look into this & get my hard earned money back from this thief.

                  With regards, I want to tell u that I have not subscribed for any prime zone services and my airtel account balance is deducted without my consideration of ₹20 without any reason. Please take some necessary steps in this regard and refund my account balance.This thing was also happened with me in the past. Thos company is a minting machine which defrauds customers and con them.

                  Hope for a quick action!

                          Hi
                          My Airtel number got deactivated on 25th September 2018. I know why it got deactivated because it wasn't used for a certain amount of time. I mailed airtel guys to reactivate it. They said you have grace period of 15 days and you can send your blood relative to the airtel store with your original documents. My sister went to the Karthik Nagar Airtel store Marathahalli Bangalore only to find out that airtel representatives in the store are denying to reactivate. On asking why, they simply said - "Mam we want an email from airtel customer care saying that they have allowed us to re-activate and that you are the authorized person". I then mailed the airtel customer care and the nodal officer telling them that my sister went to a store and such things happened. I requested them to send the authorization email to the store in which they have also authorized the person(my sister). To this they are responded every singe time with this email :
                          **********************************************************
                          "Dear,
                          Greetings from Airtel!

                          This is in reference to your email regarding services not working for your airtel mobile number xxxxxxxxx.
                          At the outset, we regret the inconvenience caused to you.
                          We would like to inform you that services for your airtel mobile were discontinued on[protected] due to no usage found on your number in last 90 days. Usage could be with respect to
                          an outgoing call, SMS or data usage. Beyond 90 days period, in case of no usage, charges of Rs.20/- per month are deducted from main account towards service extension for 30 days.

                          Due to insufficient balance, the amount could not be deducted and services were disconnected permanently.
                          Further, you may get the same number reactivated within grace period of 15 days from the date of disconnection by paying reactivation charge of Rs.20/- at airtel relationship Centre in home circle.

                          We request you to visit airtel store any of your blood relative (Father or Mother or Brother or Sister) along with the documents to reactivate the SIM in home circle only.

                          For your convenience, we are including airtel store details URL which will help you to get nearby store http://www.airtel.in/forme/arc/reach-airtel

                          Thanks for reaching out to us. Delighted to assist you!"
                          *************************************************************

                          How is this assistance and not harassment. Every-time I tell the airtel guys that my sister(a blood relative) went for re-activation and every time the store manager denies reactivation. Still the airtel customer care instead of helping me is sending this unnecessary answer. Why are they not sending the email to the store for authorizing the store and the person(my sister). This is ridiculous.

                            Airtel is world's worsest mobile company.me and my friend purchased 2 airtel prepaid connections one from delhi and one from Bareilly.
                            currently we are living in shahjahanpur (UP).
                            We are facing this problem in moh. Nisarzai Dhaka talab near choti line malgodam shahjahanpur). distt shahjahanpur, uttar pradesh..but we are very much unsatisfied with the netwotk of airtel because network is too much fluctuating. we are unable to talk to our family and friends from last one and half month.we have complaint so many times in local airtel office and airtel customer care.they take our compaint. they promise to resolve but no improvement in network.our cells are mostly not reachable .some time i have to make some urgent calls. but there is no network in my cell. till date i have launched so many compaints in airtel c.care. but no improvement in signal and in call and network Quality .there is cell site of jio parallel in airtel.i used jio for 1 year. but i never faced this kind of problem in Jio.

                            one more issue is whenever we talk to your cutomer care executive they cut my call without listening to them.
                            one of your executive told me that you can not use your airtel sim in 2G mobile phone. Is this true???
                            that means airtel is only for 4G mobile users.
                            they are making us fool thay are giving advice for buying 4G phones
                            many of your executives name is jyoti gangwar and Poonam, mani rao. they are vary bad executive to talk .also for airtel.thay don't understand a simple thing intead of giving solution thay are saying to buy new 4g phone.

                            please help me tell me procedure to fire case against airtel for giving me mentally harassment.I have all call recordings of
                            that two mobile no.s are

                            We have also talk to near by locals about airtel thay are all unsatisfied their complaints also not soved and almost all of them switched to other networks.
                            YOU GAYS MAKING US FOOL BY SAYING WORLD FASTEST NETWORK...SHAME ON YOU AIRTEL.
                            HOPE THESE HARSH WORDS CAN MAKE ANY CHANGE IN AIRTEL AFTER ALL UNSATISFIED COMPLIENTS

                                I pre booked my apple iphone xs 256 gb on 26th of september 2018 as a banner was there on my airtel app that i could pre book iphone being a premier member and it would be delivered to me on 28th september which was the date of release of the phone. But i was fooled today is 2nd october and still they have not delivered. I feel cheated as i could have bought it on 28 but since i paid the full amount to airtel i cannot do that too. So it was a false promise from airtel and being a consumer they have fooled me. Action should be taken against such company so they do not fool customers like this.

                                  I have raised problem with set top box on 28-sep, engineer visited and confirmed fault with set top box and it needs to be replaced. After that no one have called us and no updates about the ticket. These are ticket numbers raised so far for fixing 1 simple issue (Replacing my set top box). Everytime i got different answers when calling customer care number, sometime it is said "server is down can't fetch the details we will give call back soon". Still not received call back. Sometimes it is said "no stock of set top box sine 28-sep". If stock is not there even if you have shipped other states by now it should have reached chennai. Still i have not got any solution.
