I recharged ahead of my pack expiry, by about more than a week. It was my understanding that once the existing pack comes to its end, the new, already paid-for-and-CONFIRMED pack will be in place. But it's not.

If there is some ### rule that only the recharges done at the expiration is valid but not the ones done ahead of time, THEN THERE SHOULD BE SOME GUIDELINE STATED ON THAT.

Also, Airtel CUSTOMER care is supremely unhelpful, the only thing they're good for is to increase blood pressure. There is NO way to speak to an actual person. Possibly because they want to spare their employees the wrath of several dissatisfied and pissed off CUSTOMERs... I am not confident complaining here will be of much help either, but I'm running out of options.

          Hi,

          My phone number has been recently port from JIO to Airtel on 27th July. Since then, I'm having major issues with the support and service of this company and executives.

          I have received a PREPAID sim against a Postpaid Jio Sim. before paying for airtel connection I asked the agent if I'll be able to upgrade my sim to Postpaid as I need to travel to my hometown (Jammu, J&K) in 7 days where a prepaid sim from different states will NOT work. He said you'll be able to do that after 3 days of activation. The airtel app still shows the error message saying I can only upgrade my sim to postpaid after 90 days. I'm trying to call the agent since then and he has blocked my number.

          I'm unable to contact Airtel through toll free number or application as they say that my number is invalid. So probably you guys have not even registered my number under airtel.

          I'm using an Iphone 11, after inserting the airtel sim a message ''your carrier may charge for iMessage and facetime' pops up every 2 minutes, that too when i have opted for a 399 plan which includes calls and messages. for this as well, I'M NOT ABLE TO CONTACT AIRTEL SUPPORT.
          I have submitted several requests on the app but no response or phone call yet. Please help me resolve this issue, the upgradation is very critical for me as I only use 1 number and I have travel to my hometown in 7 days, which will make my sim not working and will disrupt my official work.

          Please help me resolve this asap.

          thanks

            Address: Boduppal, Hyderabad, Telangana, India

            I booked a new airtel black connection of dth and broadband on August 1st and paid a sum of 4000 rupees as advance for 6 months.i got the dth connection but the broadband is not yet installed/not connected.
            They said the connection will be done with 72 hrs of payment but it's been 16 days and iam calling to the customer care everyday but no proper response
            As its already been 16 days, It is difficult to stay patient this long.so, I want my refund of 4000 rupees and want to cancel the order.
            Please escalate my request to the airtel team 🙏🙏.

                  Hi Airtel team,

                  I am unable to get incoming SMS from 11th August 2022.

                      I am a subscriber to airtel broadband and have been using its services since some time. However, due to some reason that has been told to me by 121 operator on airtel helpline, I am being levied extra charges for no particular reason at all.
                      It is of note that including GST I pay around 550 for monthly internet for the 499 plan of 40 mp/s in my city. However, I have been levied extra charges around 300 rupees for two months without any explanation or intimation of the same without any subscription for any service or for any due charges.
                      I expect prompt response and deduction of wrongful charges that I have been made incumbent to without any reason.
                      No doubt this is a predatory business practice and egregious deficiency in service.

                              I have switched from Jio to Airtel few months back. Currently I'm out of India and want to use my number but not able to do that. I have sufficient balance and validity but not able to make outgoing calls and sms. I'm not able to use any upi or bank services. Kindly look into the matter as it is very urgent

                                Respected Sir/Madam,

                                I have opted for a internet connection in my house in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh. I paid the money for the same after a survey was conducted at my home by Airtel person, After checking the location & connection feasibility I was told to pay for the connection i.e a sum of 3004/- rupees for six month connection & I was promised that the connection will be given within 24 hours time period. But nothing like that happened.

                                I have tweeted the above complaint for the same but still no success. One of their agents was asking me for OTP, even when nobody reached my premises for installation. if I would have given the OTP ( the msg for the OTP was saying that the modem has been fitted & was asking for OTP for the same) the same person was saying me to opt for JIO fiber even when he is working for Airtel

                                My precious time has been lost. Please sir/madam HELP me if you can.
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                  Hello,
                                  I have recharged Airtel annual pack for my mobile on 17th July 2022 for the amount of INR 2999. So far they are not able to generate soft copy of the bill and provide it to me.

                                  Raised a request on 30th July 2022 with complaint number CUDRR3BLR[protected], and request is closed on 9th August with no resolution.

                                  A follow up request has been raised CUDRR3BLR[protected] on 06th Aug 2022 but no resolution yet.

                                  I was finally told by Customer care after multiple attempts that I need to send the snapshot of the app where I am not able to download the receipt, which I was noted told so far during follow ups.

                                  I really do not understand how long airtel needs to generate soft copy of the payment that was made. Providing the bill is the basic need for any transaction.

                                  Attached proof contains my mobile number at the top. Expecting early action.
                                  Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                  Now Airtel closed the other complaint CUDRR3BLR[protected] also that I mentioned without resolving. Also did not receive any email on the email that I had sent to ThankApp support.
                                  Beside that, basing on the complaint that I have posted here on Consumer Complaints, I have received 2 follow up calls and they does not know English and cannot talk any language other than Hindi and they are not even in a position to read the email also.
                                  It is such a basic need to provide a bill on customer name once amount is paid and Airtel is failing to provide soft copy for last month. What a pathetic situation.

                                  After talking to customer care, they asks to send email to specific ID. And if we send below is what that I got. They have provided email ID which is not even being monitored and it is full. How can they give such Email ID and ask customer to wait for response. Seems like they do not have any intension to solve the problem.

                                  Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
