That's why I didn't Recharge for the Pack with more Data.
Even after doing the Recharge, it was still showing Data available as 72.2 GB, 366 Days Left. But within a couple of days,...

Address: India
Website: www.airtel.in

I live in Bhopal, and I have installed Airtel Xstream Fibre about a month back,
But from 8/Jun/2025 service stopped and not even working 10/June/2025 (today). I have paid for 3 months 2500 INR,

In short, i paid 54.79 INR to 59.67 INR for nothing.

I also suspect Airtel trying this as scalping method.
Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

    International Roaming Charges - Billed Twice

    I activated international roaming during my travel to Srilanka between 13th to 20th May, but I find the generated invoice - billed two times.
    Also, there is no facility available to raise such concern...even the Airtel App that is installed on my smartphone

      Talktime scam

      I recharged a few months back on my prepaid airtel connection Rs.550 for talktime.
      Later I realised its totally a scam. Subsequent recharges never offered a simple validity extension. I was forced to buy a "unlimited calls + 1.5 gb/day" deals only. When I buy this, where is the need for using up the talk time? So I was looking for options to use this talk time balance for my next recharge. The payment options didnt include...
