I have changed my sim card 3 days back to improve the network quality. But after 48 hours the sim is not yet activated.
When i check with airtel store on 5th july morning they said that request was rejected due to some issues ane you need to raise a new request.
Same day evening they are saying that the old request is still in process and we cannot proceed with new request.
That sim is used by my mother who are staying alone at home when we all family's members are working in office.
How this things are possible in todays latest technologies.

      I can't recharge my airtel number online since the past 8-9 months and I have contacted airtel about this many times. They say that it is not possible. I have to go to the shop and get my recharge done by the retailer. Going is not the problem, the problem is why should I go to the retailer even when the same thing is possible online for everyone else. Airtel provides the worst customer care service and its representatives seem to be uneducated, some representatives even asked me to buy paper coupons in order to recharge, lol. I have attached some screenshots of my failed transactions which the airtel people so not seem to agree with. This screenshot was taken from my account on Airtel.in.

              Despite my objection to airtel unilaterally deducting roaming charges from my balance amount in my my mobile connection account they have neither refunded the amount deducted nor given any justification. My postings on their website are as follows:

              Complaint posted on airtel india website

              Vijay bhandari‎ to airtel india
              June 2 •

              What kind of customer service is this? You want to charge me for a service which i have never opted or asked for and which has not been provided to me?

              I sent you an email reproduced below.
              Instead of a suitable action or reply i am once again sent an sms by am-airccm on 27/5/2018 reading as follows:
              "dear customer, international roaming rental charge is rs99. Due to low balance in your account, rs.0 has been deducted and balance amount of rs.99 will be deducted in subsequent recharges."

              Kindly therefore restore my balance of rs. 90/- as on 27/4/2018. My number is [protected]. Kindly do not call me but correspond by email only.

              30/4/2018
              Dear sirs,
              I am extremely surprised and perturbed to receive the following messages from am-airccm
              (1/2) dear customer, international roaming rental charge is rs99. Due to low balance in your account, rs.53.27 have been deducted and balance amount of rs.45.73 will be deducted in
              .. (2/2) subsequent recharges.

              Please note i have very little usage on your network since i rely on most of my communications through wifi.in the last 2 years i have purchased minimal amounts of pre-paid packs viz. Rs.220/- on 16/11/2016 and rs 50/- on 8/4/2018. My balance amount in the account was around rs 90/- when i left mumbai on an overseas trip on 27/4/2018. On 27th i got an unsolicited call through t-mobile which i did not pick up and i was charged for the same. Now i have received the above communication from you!

              I do not want to use your network and neither have i sought or opted for the roaming facility at any time hence all your charges after 12.50 p. M. On 27/4/2018 are invalid & illegal.

              Kindly therefore reverse all charges deducted from my account and bring back the balance to rs. 90/- or whatever it was on 27/4/2018 @ 12.50 p. M.

              Please also confirm the same without fail.
              Thanking you,

              Hi! Thanks for reaching out, vijay! Rental is rs 99 for 30 days. It'll be charged only when you start using incoming, outgoing or sms in international roaming. Refer: http://srkl.in/6181BIrtfS to know more. Hope this helps! Thank you, angshumon

              Vijay bhandari‎ to airtel india
              July 5 -

              I have not used airtel phone services from 27th april (When i left india) till 2nd july (When i returned to india). When i tried to make a call from the airport on 2nd july i was told my balance was less than rs. 10/- and i was not allowed to make the call. As i informed you in my earlier post of 2nd june i had a balance of rs. 90/- approx in my account as on 27th april. Where has my money gone? Kindly arrange to refund the illegal deductions which airtel has made unilaterally for no services rendered. Kindly confirm action taken by you on my no. [protected] so that i can use the services for which i have prepaid.

                        Its app stole my money.

                        I say stole because it took my money (Evidenced by money being withdrawn from my bank account), said the transaction failed (Thus did not give me a transaction id), and then every avenue i tried to reach out to was run by automated systems so there was no personalized care or anyone who could actually respond to my request for refund appropriately.

                        Through email: the automated service kept asking for the same details that i kept telling it i did not have (I. E. The transaction id), and there was no way to connect to a human being to discuss this, it seems

                        Through fb: again, automated system

                        Through phonecall: impossible

                        They're not giving my money back. And it's not theirs to keep. That is stealing.

                              The bill you have sent to is not belongs to me i am staying in maharashtra and the billing address is of indore. I should not be telling it to you... But unfortunately you don't pay any attention to the customer need to verify name of the customer, address, email, cell no. The bill before sending it to customer.

                                  Sir
                                  On 25 jun 18 i upgraded my plan from 649 to 799 with the aim to add my child number [protected] which otherwise was a prepaid number and working fine. However, the number was added but no data was allocated or wasn't available for use for 4 days i was then advised by the airtel customer care to disconnect the child plan on [protected]. Once i disconnected this number from the family plan on 29 jun an automatic 399 postpaid plan was active and began working fine.
                                  I thus readded this number to child plan and hain the data on family plan wasn't available for browsing.
                                  Request resolve to ensure that i get data to use in my child number [protected] while in family plan.
                                  Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                  The complaint is ordinary but the customer support services seem to have no idea as to how data on the number [protected] is unavailable despite a 4G network on display. The calling from number is OK .

                                        Hi,

                                        I got a message from aiterl that you're activated lifestyle Dressing room pack..and they deducted 35rs without my permission..what is happening..I called to customer care both 121 and 198 it is not working properly..AIRTEL made big disappointment..

                                        This is not good for a company like airtel, customers wants to feel safe with your network.. service is worst...

                                        I can't able to make a call to customer care..I didn't expect this from Airtel.
