My mom is an Airtel user and recently the issue with the network has made our life's a hell. We actually require a phone to call others or get calls. Lately, she isn't able to make calls nor getting calls. Please look into the matter as this is really annoying. And if the same thing continues we will be forced to Port to other networks.

      Website: My grandmother mobile no is 7870436093 . Airtel has activated Games Club services on 8th june 2018

      My grand mother mobile no [protected] has been charge for an un authorised transaction on 8th june 2018 at 1:58am. The games club service was activated and 55rs has been deducted from account with any prior knowledge. When i called customer care they are saying lie that a message has been send while i cant see any message in sent items as well my grand mother doesnt know how to type a message. Seriously airtel you are giving this silly exuses and said they wont refund money and person who was on other started started yelling and stope d responsing while the call went for another 1 minute without any response from their side. I want my 55rs back and initiate my refund. I have all the details of transaction.

          I purchased 4g hotspot from airtel on 09/06/2018. The airtel people themselves called me and gave me the device and charged 2900 as 6 months bill. My airtel no is [protected] and that person's no (Who gave me the hotspot) is [protected]. The hotspot is not activated even after 2 days. That person is not picking my calls and his phone is switched off now.

            I woke up and as any person would do checked my phone. I found that i activated whatsmob service clearly not known by me. Just to be sure i checked the time i received that message it was 3:30 am. There is no chance of me activating that service. As soon as this happened i deactivated and got deactivating message immediately but didn't receive my money back. I called the toll free number and airtel app but couldn't find any option to help me. Why is that you can send a confirming message immediately but fail to send money back? This happened to me many times but most of the time i got my money back unlike this time. I think i can observe the pattern and happens when i have relatively more balance like 1000/- or 500/-. I don't think that a big company like airtel should resort to such cheap tricks.

                My husband has an airtel number, he activated child plan for my number as i was also using airtel postpaid. After activating i was not able to use data. I raised complain and was told that problem will resolve in 48 hrs but that never happened. I called them again and they apologised and reopened the complain. The problem did not get resolved. I called again they reopened the complain again and this kept on going for 1 week.
                Why the hell this company starts these kind of plan when all they want is to fool the customers.
                It's been 8 days and i am not able to use data. I don't know what and how the company is going to pay me back for harassing and fooling.

                  I have a poor connection from airtel. I had raised a complaint to airtel but till now there has been no improvement.

                  One the contrary the problem has aggravated and i have been informed that my cell phone is unreachable at times. This is impacting my work.

                  I was advised to send a porting message to 1900.

                  But i am unable to send sms to 1900, for porting out my sim from airtel to another service provider.
                  I am able to send sms to all other numbers like my friends and relatives.

                    I followed the procedure given for sim swap from 3g to 4g. I got a message for confirmation where i had to type 1. I did the same for which i got a msg
                    "wrong hlr gold sim, please try again with correct hlr sim number"
                    When i contacted customer care i was told to repeat the same procedure but to no avail. I had already contacted the customer care only after trying a few times. Customer care executive was inefficient and just kept on saying to try again. I would like this to be resolved soon failing which i am planning to change my operator.

                      I recharged my airtel no [protected] with ₹399 (Unlimited calling & 1.4gb data per day for 84 days) on 09/06/2018.

                      On 10/06/2018 i recharged the same no with ₹199 (Same benefits as former with 28 days validity) by mistake.

                      But i didn't get any benefit from 2nd recharge not even added data or extra validity. When i called customer care they told me "you will only get benefits of 1st recharge 2nd recharge won't be accounted. This is company's policy"

                      I request either refund or added validity on my current plan

                        Dear sir/madam,
                        I am a foreigner, using an airtel sim card [protected] in hyderabad for 2 years.
                        Today (10/6/2018), my iphone showed no signal of airtel, instead it showed "no service".
                        My question is that it is a common problem of airtel network today, or my sim card is expired that i cannot use it anymore? If so, how can i check my sim card expiratory date on website?
                        I am waiting for your response soon.
                        Thanks,

                          Complaining about the bill discrepancies with airtel since 4 consecutive months. Despite complaint over call and mail every month they have been charging me additional rs. 80 in monthly bill for a value added service i never availed. On complaining they said its a technical issue and has been resolved but after that it happened again thrice. They refuse to check the bill before issuing. Though they have adjusted the money but this has been happening every month and is quite a harassment. Request help in resolving the issue permanently so that i don't have to check my bill and raise complaint month over month. Compliant raised earlier via email, trai and call. I am fed up and already looking for mnp. Ref no. For earlier complaint [|bal|ref60130939|].
                          First they claimed it's a technical issue then they said it's not their fault. Every month i hear a new excuse but no resolution.

                                Hello

                                I purchased inr 2499international roaming plan for germany on 7th june 2018 from "my airtel app", before leaving india. It includes "unlimited free incoming, 5gb data, 100 sms/day, 500 minutes of local/international call".

                                Since, the time i have landed in germany my 4g data is working but my voice services are not. I recharged my mobile with inr 300 today but all of that vanished as soon as i called from my mobile to india and received one voice call.

                                Just look into it asap, i am losing on my professional calls and important contacts. It is very necessary that my services are restored with immediate effect.

                                Also, pass me y our international customer care number over which i can call you.

                                Thanks
                                Ritesh ([protected])

                                  I generally recharged rs111/- for mobile no [protected] on 27/05/2018. But we didn't consume the balance. But when we check the balance on 09.06.2018 it is zero. On calling to customer care they are saying that it is special offer and ends in 12 days. But we dont know any special offer and recharged the plan generally and not for 12 days. Hence please return back my unutilized balance or otherwise it is rediculus and we shift to another better network service provider.
