I would like to inform you that my mobile no. [protected] is under corporate connection with Airtel, and my company has authorized me as coordinator to Airtel. Since 8th of April 2025, I am not having data on my mobile.
I have sent multiple email to Airtel and registered many requests on ATB (Airtel Thanks Business) portal.

It is now three weeks passed but issue not resolved yet.

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against Airtel India regarding a serious issue with my mobile number [protected], which has been inactive for over 3 days due to a stuck SIM Swap Request in their system.

🔹 Issue Details:
I had requested an eSIM previously, which was later cancelled at the store.

After factory resetting my phone and losing access to the old device, I visited the Airtel Store...

My sim got corrupted, suddenly stopped working . I went to airtel store, they issued new sim but activation got rejected with reason "NAME MISMATCH". My Name is Swati and when the sim was issued (almost 10 years back) the typed SVATEE". My sim belongs to Mumbai circle and I am currently in PUNE. Now the agents are saying I need to visit Mumbai.
They can't handle name mismatch issues.
I can't visit/travel to Mumbai to such nonsense mistakes which is made from airtel end. As well customer care is suggesting "NO NEED to VISIT MUMBAI".

I need that number at any cost since its almost 10 years I have been using that.
KIndly resolve

Complaint against

Airtel, Mumbai

Brief as follows.

Make a note as follows against your reply receive this evening.

1. You yourself has confirmed that 1 GB data loan was taken on 14 February 2025 once only. No any other loan in our account exists.

2. And this loan as pointed out earlier and verified also through Google declaration (screenshot already sent to you) that this loan will be adjusted international recharge by reducing the validity period by one day. And on the basis of your such assure is of your policy, one day loan was taken.

Google confirms the same as follows on its website.

Repayment:
The loan is repaid automatically by reducing the validity of your next recharge by one day.
You don't need to take any further action to repay.

3. And now just out of greed, you are asking for more recharge to settle the loan. This is totally illegal and exploitation on your part not acceptable by any court.

4. Why should we recharge for any more data, where we have already paid you for almost 3 months having 1.5 GB data facility everyday.

5 you have crows of clients and therefore even if you charge rupees 22 from 1 crore clients, you will grab rupees 22 crores just buy blackmailing them to recharge or you will keep their Data services dead exactly what you have done with us. We will take up this point to the consumer court to slap heavy penalty for your such blackmailing trade practices.

6. You have kept our Data services dead for the last over one month. Evidently now to pressurize us to pay your illegal demand for One Day data loan.

7. You said, the dead data services would be restored back by 30th April 2025. Why? Mention the legal and logical reason why you need so many days over a month to restore it back? Obviously you are responsible and totally liable legally for heavy compensation and reimbursement for all the suffering and monetary losses due to your such deficiency and negligence to keep our Data services dead for so long over a month by illegally linking it with one day loan payment due.

8. Your trouble shooting steps are of no use as we already pointed out there is nothing wrong with the setting as even the reset of this setting does not make any change and keep the internet dead making it very clear that it has been deactivated at your end only to pressurize us to make illegal payment by data recharging not required by us at all.

9. You are constraining us to drag you as already pointed out to the consumer court. You did not learn any lesson when you had to pay 5 lakhs rupees compensation in Jasmeet singh puri case.

10. consumer court case, as reported by Bar and Bench, imposed a ₹5 lakh penalty on Airtel for harassing a custome by disconnecting his internet service . The court upheld the penalty, finding Airtel negligent in providing adequate service and using its position to harass the customer.

11. We will tell the court to double the penalty from 5 lakh to 10 lacs because Airtel in fight of previous penalty continued harisingh customer a mountain to contempt of court. Make a legal note of.

When you call airtel and request for disconnection of data dongle number. They say pay the bill. I told them bill got generated yesterday and it is yet to reflect in Airtel App, the associate does not understand the issue
Then I asked her how to disconnect the service, the person says put that to phone - OMG ! it is DATA ONLY SIM CARD so the phone does not recognize the SIM as capable of sending or receiving SMS / CAlls

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I’m utterly frustrated and appalled by Airtel’s shockingly poor service. I’ve been a loyal Airtel customer for over 12 years, starting from Bangalore and later continuing in Guwahati, and I’ve had enough of being treated like this.

I got call from Airtel Black and I agreed to the plan for three months. They asked me to pay 1000/- before for pre booking. I have paid. They said engineer will call, no body has called in more than 12 hours now.

No other person has called me and even the person assigned to me is not picking...
