I am an nri working in dubai and visit my native in india once or twice a year. I had subscribed to a airtel prepaid sim card since the last 7 years, and it had been working fine till a few days back.

Now, it shows "emergency calls only", and does not get registered on etisalat network. I have tried cleaning sim, switching phones, topping up recharge etc. But the same result.

Can you please provide a solution to this?

    I was doing a recharge of rs. 448 using my airtel app. I used the upi option for the payment method. I had done such transactions before and they were successful. But this time my money was debited and no recharge was done. I called the airtel customer care and tried to understand what went wrong. I believe that they have changed some things in their app and now instead of transferring to the bhim upi app they wanted me to integrate my upi in the app only. I didn't know this and chose the bhim app for the payment anyway. And like always the bhim app asked me to pay rs 448 to "[protected]@hdfcbank". It was all automatic and i didn't get any idea of something wrong happening.in the end my my money was transferred to airtel and airtel app didn't even notice it.

    I request airtel to just send me my money back or better just do my recharge.

    I can understand that it was not airtel's 100% fault. But it was not my fault either.

            Hi,

            I want to bring to your attention an online fraud that has been done by airtel and its representative. I applied for airtel broadband connection online and received a call from airtel representative name "anandan j" and he asked me send documents aadhar, pan and rental agreement as proof of address and photo id proof via watsapp.

            I send him the document and he gave me a caf number to make online payment of 2829 rs toward new connection. Which he said this plan is for 3 months with free router and installation charges.
            When i try to login to airtel portal online
            http://www.airtel.in/payonline/?oa
            It was giving some error and so i called him back saying it is not working.
            He provided me with bank of india a/c number and asked me transfer money.

            When i called him for setting up connection he said it will take 2-3 working days and due to some doubt called airtel customer care and now they were telling service is not available in my area.

            Now that representative is not picking up the phone and i have not got the broadband connection.

            When i try to call the representative he is not ready to refund my money back and not answering my calls.

            Note: for airtel this is a bad remarks which makes people not to trust in future. People like this will survive for few days but soon going perish.

            Below details given by fraud representative

              Today at 3:30 am (26th august) i received a message on my number that namkeen pack has been activated on my number. This happened without my permission & balance of rs-35 /- has been deducted from my account.

              I have never subscribed for this service, why airtel has activated this??

              Want to file a complaint for such unnecessary deductions made by airtel.

              I want the amount refunded asap.

                There is a dirty play going on by airtel. When i do my unltd recharge, they reduce the signal strength after 4-5 days. When i call cc, they keep saying that work is going on. Wtf, are you kidding us. You are running a service pan india or a general shop? They takes 5 - 10 days for network restoring. This happens every month. So, we get unltd plan for 20 days only in 199. So, my suggestion to all is to leave airtel.
                I am also giving assurance that there will not be a single user of airtel in my area within a month.

                    I am shiladitya banerjea from greater noida. Airtel has degradated its 4g service in greater noida since oct'17. After complain, an engineer visited in dec'17 & verified poor signals in entire area. A srv req got logged ref no:82866197 dt jan'18 but till date it is yet to be restored. I hv been paying my full bill regularly with 10-20% discounts that too at their will. Airtel is repeatedly blaming it as my indoor issue but declaining to share data supporting the claim. The local airtel store is supporting my claim of poor signal in greater noida.
                    Now i may request your good office to direct airtel to restore 4g services in greater immediately or refund all the amounts i have paid till date. They should not charge me till they restore it.

                          From past 2-3 days, i have been experiencing no signals on my airtel prepaid number. My number is on emergency mode and even after registering with airtel network, it seems to lose all the signal bars and switch back to emergency mode.
                          I checked the airtel towers, but they seem to be having fine strength. Please look into this matter, and resolve my issue as soon as possible.

                            • airtel has shared with us the 'operator reference number' as a proof of your successful recharge

                            • in case you still haven't received the top-up/balance/recharge benefits, please reach out to airtel mentioning below details:

                                Whenever i try to make calls with my old number [protected] they hardly go through even in over 15 attempts while with any of my new numbers the call goes through in 1 dial, why is this so? However, the network is generally poor in pan india and worst in hazaribagh and ranchi. Is the load too much for airtel to handle or there is some other issue with the number itself? Kindly check and resolve. Thanks.

                                  Got a message from airtel (Airsep) on 26 august 2018 sept 02:10 am mentioning that namkeen pack services has been activated on my phone for 1 week and they would be adding rs 35 in my bill for a week and this would be automatically renewed every week. On calling airtel, to know what the service is all about becuase i never raised this activation request, they are saying that they dont have information about it as it is 3rd party service. But i got the message immediately that they deactivated it. I really dont understand that how come airtel does not information about the service they can activate or deactivate. They say that i would have clicked on an advertisment or something and the service got activated but airtel has no information.

                                  My concerns are
                                  1. What is that service all about
                                  2. How did the value added service got activated without my consent

                                      1... I took an international roaming plan from delhi to us for rs 3999 on the 22nd july which i am told expires on 20th august.
                                      Since i landed after a long flight in india on 21st august at 11am, i did not and could not have used any airtel services after 20th august. But i am being billed twice for rs 3999+ rs 3999.
                                      2... Besides for very very poor service during my trip too, i complained on the 14th of august, telephonically as well as by email to airtel us number as well as delhi (Gurgaon) numbers. But didn't get any response for the rest of my trip.

                                        Dear sir/madam

                                        Sub: complaint for harassment against dsa m/s. Pratik enterprise

                                        Kandivali west, mumbai 400067

                                        I ranjit ashok gandhi have been working with airtel’s dsa m/s. Pratik enterprise at kandivali west, mumbai 400067 from 5th of january 2018 till 31st july 2018. As per the contractual terms and conditions of my employment with them, i completed minimum working tenure of six months. Since i did not want to continue working with them, i intimated the said dsa one month in advance as “notice period” and left working with them.

                                        I have been offered employment by m/s. Aspiris kandivali west, mumbai 400067 also dsa for airtel. The terms and conditions for my employment with them are acceptable to me.

                                        Before allowing me to work for them, dsa aspiris have asked me to get the no objection certificate from m/s. Pratik enterprise, the dsa with whom i have been working previously. But now pratik enterprise is not giving me their noc and consequently dsa aspiris are not able to create a new login id in my name.

                                        I wish to place on record that despite of my complying with all the terms and conditions of my employment with pratik enterprise, the said dsa is deliberately not issuing its noc in my favour thus creating hindrance for me to join dsa aspiris to work with them. I fail to understand the reason for such harassment meted out to me by pratik enterprise when there is no any issue pending between me and dsa pratik enterprise.

                                        I therefore most humbly request you to kindly direct the dsa m/s. Pratik enterprise to forthwith issue the relevant “no objection certificate” to me, enabling the dsa aspiris to create new login id in my name and allow me to work with them as per the terms and conditions mutually acceptable by and between myself and m/s. Aspiris.
