    Hi team,

    I got my postpaid number ([protected]) converted to prepaid on 28th may 2018. It was migrated to prepaid the same day itself.

    But since two days i have not been able to recharge my number through any of the payment options i. E. Paytm, amazon pay, free charge and my airtel app too.
    See below screenshots of the failed transactions. Please help at the earliest as i am not able to contact customer care of airtel because of zero balance.

      It has been over 24 hours and my prepaid 4g hasn’t been activated. It still says “no service”. I was told it would take 24 hours.
      I bought this sim as i’m from out of country and i’m worried it won’t work. Am i waiting for the 59109 sms? Or for the network to appear? All i did was put in the sim card i’m not sure what else i’m supposed to do. Thank you.

      I was shocked to notice when I checked my Data Balance at 9Am today before opening internet, that 1.03 Gb data was already used?

      What is the problem? Is it with meter not working properly or pilferage of data ?

      Please resolve the issue immediately since I do not want to pay money for the data not used by me?

        I have did a recharge of ₹448/- for mobile number [protected] date[protected] at my airtel app (App logged in with [protected]), recharge amount deducted from bank paytm payment bank debit card, but after 10 working day also the amount not refunded.

        Communicated with airtel representative after 1 day of transaction, they conformed that the recharge was initated but failed, if i am not received the refund within 10 working day i will replay with transaction id and other details, i did so (Without airtel transaction id but with bank transaction id) at 11 the day. But one of nodal officer at call & email denied that there is no recharge initiated.

        Actually i lost the message which include airtel transaction id of recharge. I am hopeless now. Details available at the retailer airtel but not getting any help.

            I surendra yadav airtel consumer bearing number [protected]. I intended to recharge my mobile through sbi net banking app on 28th may 2018. But due to mistake i recharged inr 995 plan on a wrong number viz [protected] transaction number uh44573686. I immediatly made intimation on airtel presence and got assurancei that the amount would be reversed as top up on right mobile no. 30th may 2018. But till i have not received the same. It is to be stated here that after wrong recharge i once again recharged my actual number with 995 plan through sbi net banking app transaction number uh44573991 on same day perceiving that 995 plan is 1.4gb/ day plan. But soon i realised that the plan 995 is per month plan and once again i approached airtel presence to reverse my plan as 509 plan and the rest amount as top up. But all in vain. Neither my wrong number recharged amount reversed nor my plan was reversed as correct plan. So please take needful step

              I recharged my airtel no with rs 3997 which is the international roaming pack for uae which includes 500 minutes (Incoming and outgoing) 5 gb data and sms. I recharged and got the confirmation regarding payment done and the offer is not yet active. I'm not able to make any outgoing calls to any number. I'm only able to receive incoming calls. No outgoing calls can be made. When i called customer care they're not ready to solve the problem. They are simply saying it is a technical issue and it'll get cleared soon. They're not telling a time about when the problem will get solved. They are not responding correctly and cut the call after sometime. They do not refund the amount not activate the offer or solve my problem. The customer care executives are simply playing and when asking for refund they won't do that also. Fraud service and fraud people.

                    We bought an airtel 4g hotspot on friday, 25 may 2018. The airtel technician, mr. Rakesh tiwari, from the airtel gallery at irla, vile parle, mumbai assured us about speed, connection drops, range etc. Our office is on the 1st floor of the building. He particulary said that once activated, we will get range even at the ground floor level. It is almost 5 days now and we have been facing frequent connection drops. We cannot connect to the hotspot even from the next room. Signal reaching the ground floor seems like a remote possibility. Both download and upload speeds tested time and again using http://speedtest.att.com/speedtest/ are around 2 mbps and nowhere close to 4g speeds. The technician took rs. 1500 (Rs. 999 for the hotspot and rs. 399 for one month of postpaid service) from us and totally hoodwinked us. The bill that he emailed had an attachment with no extension and could not be opened. He changed a few settings on the hotspot on wednesday, 30 may, but to no avail. Airtel needs to fix these technical issues before marketing such a sloppy device.

                    Thanks,

                      I am not able to do the recharge for my airtel number. When ever i try to do the recharge amount gets deducted but recharge gets failed. When i check with airtel team they say there are no transaction history and even the amount is not refunded.

                      This is very disappointing. Funny thing is my last recharge was made of 149 and if i make a call it connects one day and on other day it says no balance.

                      Really frustrating.

                              I had requested for sim card from the contact center which wasn’t honoured. I first spoke to a rep named shrishti srivastav on 28thmay’18 who doesn’t even know my plan and was convincing me to go to a store. I had to disconnect the call as it was disappointing to see someone so incompetent however i called back again spoke to manpreet singh who took my request after explaining a thousand times that i have an iphone plan and need add on connection which is free on my plan.. He said he can’t find my address and to visit the store and when i yelled at him he said he will do it manually. I called again on 29thmay to track my sim where kuldeep verma took my request to escalate the issue an that i will receive a callback... Meanwhile i received a call from andheri branch where miss ankita tiwari called an was enquiring about my request. I was furious and disconnected the call. She called me back again an hour later promising me that it’s gonna be delivered and to keep the aadharcard ready.. I wasted my day waiting for the sim. Today i receive call from akhilesh from outbound team and he gave the dumbest answer that i don’t have to do a sim swap as i have 4g sim... He said the rep has mentioned that i wanted sim swap and not new add on connection. I called back ankita tiwari and she informed that the delivery boy could not reach me to which when i enquirer why there was no message left as i didn’t receive any missed call she asked to forget about it and that she ll send a rep and to wait for it.. This has been so far the worst experience and i am deeply disgusted with this behaviour. I will make sure i will spread this like a wildfire... Pathetic customer service... Worst behaviour by contact center

                                        Respected sir,
                                        I can't make calls to some specific numbers (Std specially) when i'm on roaming. I could make calls to them few days back but now i can't.
                                        I've tried changing every setting i could, but it just doesn't work.
                                        I can connect to their numbers from other cellphones but not mine.
                                        I tried to even change my operator settings but nothing works
                                        Please help me to resolve this.
