    We have ported airtel number [protected] from kerala to andra pradesh on 30 april 2018 and it got ported on 5, may 2018. When we ported the retails in airtel showroom present in manjeera mall, kukatpally made us to recharge for around rs 485 rupees and told this offer gets activated after 4 hours once the new sim gets activated. Now after 1 day also the offer is not activated, when i call customer care they are telling they dont have any information on that and cant get any details on that. When i call to airtel retail showroom in manjeera mall, they are not picking the phone..

    This is one of the worst incident that i have faced from airtel.. I hope you take this matter seriously.

      My airtel postpaid 4g sim stooped working since today morning (06 may 2018). Restarted phone several times, changed sim slot, tried it in another phone, tried stopping other services like wifi. All of no use.

      All this without any intimation from airtel. I was about to receive important calls and messages on this number. Today being sunday, the nearest airtel store in my town (Palakkad) is also not open.

      Lost peace of mind due to this carelessness.

      I would like network reception on my phone be restored as soon as possible, and additionally they need to compensate for loss of peace of mind, and loss of opportunity due to missed communication during the period.

          Airtel has arbitrarily started a paid service on my number, charged my money and then is telling me about it. All this at 4:40am! Why and how will i start a useless paid service in the middle of the night? I have not started any service from my side. This is absolute cheating and harassment of customer.

          Please resolve this issue and refund my money ₹35. It is not about money but it is about ethics and business morals, which airtel seems to have lost.

          Here is the text of the message and i have also attached a screenshot for reference.
          *
          Game arena service has been activated for mobile number [protected] without the permission of the customer and rs.35 has been charged from my balance.
          The following message i received:

          Game arena service has been activated @ rs35.0 for 7day (S). Txn id s[protected], 06may18 04:40. Service will be renewed after validity expiry. To use, click http://bit.ly/2yeIAGy (Data charges apply). To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223. More services? Call 56789

            I am not able to recharge my [protected] after migration from postpaid to prepaid. No is active and i can receive any incoming call but not able to outgoing. And the worst thing is that i can't even dial in to your customer care because of low balance. What a poor service provided by this. If this is not resolved in few hours better i shall migrate to other service provider. Thanks, kapil sharma. [protected]

              I wanted to convert one of my postpaid number to prepaid. I visited kamla nagar, avas vikas store for more than 10 time. Each time they told some reason that it is not possible from their end. At the same time costumer care is guiding to approach airtel store.
              Even after a lot of visit it is not converted. They are issuing any reference number also for our concern.
              After intervention of a representative and customer care they issied the sim. I submitted paper on 04th may but this store has not placed the request in system.

                              I 'ashish patthe' from nagpur. One week before, i had installed airtel dth at my home and told me that it will get activated after 3 hours. But it' s one week gone it still not activated. I am continuously trying to call at nagpur office "smart service" at khamla. But they are not attending my call.
                              And even continuously complaining to customer care they are also not giving me response.in these one week, i had complained 15-20 times in customer care..
                              Really very very poor service.

                                Your services are very poor even 2g network better than your 4g network. I am receiving less than 20 kbps downloading speed. I am a new customer of airtel and this is my first and last experience. I will never suggest anyone to go into airtel network. Even jio better than airtel in my area. Well i am from nohar, hanumangarh district rajasthan. I am very disappointed from this network.

                                Kindly improve your services. Your services are very costly but your network is very poor.

                                  I have a postpaid connection which is not active for almost a month now but they are making me pay money to activate it. Worst thing even after full payment even when i am not using. The connection is not active.

                                  I am speaking to airtel 121 almost every single day and frustrated with their fake deadline with no resolution. How to reach the next level or teach them a lesson for these crazy support.

                                    I bought an international roaming pack for the usa for inr 2999 for my prepaid number [protected] which is supposed to give me call, sms and data privileges. However i am unable to make any outgoing calls and my data is not working. This puts me in a nightmarish position while roaming internationally as i can't call a cab or call someone in case of an emergency. There is no proper channel to call a number which i could find on your website and there is no way i can find help using the 'get help' option on the website. Please help asap!

                                      I ordered an airtel dth connection online using their website only and i ordered a package which showed 301 sd channels and 33 hd channels on 1/5/2018. I got a phone call and i confirmed the said package. The local distributor came and installed the product on 2/5/18 and said it will be activated within half an hour and took rs 4100 and went. The activation was done and when i could not watch any hd channels, i contacted distributor and he said it will take at least 4 hrs for the hd channels to get acivated. I again phoned him next day as i could not watch hd channels, he said he will come next day as he is out of station. As i could not wait longer i contacted the customer care 4 times but they said the package is already locked and they cannot do anything. My original package costed me rs 230 and this package costs me rs 300 without any hd channels. So airtel dth has cheated me.
                                      I want my original package.

                                        Hi,
                                        This is very disappointing or unsatisfactory response from airtel.
                                        I recharged my number via airtel website for 450 rs on 10th april 2018. Recharge was unsuccessful but amount got deducted. I had called customer care 3-4 times regarding refund of amount, they keep on telling dates of refund but at the end there is no refund done till date.
                                        So shameful that you keep on cheating your customers. If this continues no one would avail your services.

                                        Regards,
                                        Saba
