      My airtel number ([protected]) has been deactivated inspite of the recharge I made on 10 April 2018.(Refer photo). I tried to call the number on 26th April but get this message " number does not exist.
      Last sms I received was on 25 april. (Refer attached photos). Within one day my service was deactivated without notice.

      Currently I am abroad and kept enough balance such that I atleast receive sms for my banking transaction.

      I have a flight and my number is linked to many places like bank, whatsapp, etc.

      My friend enquired about this at nearest airtel office even those guys are unable to figure out the cause for this.

      I request to please activate my sim. In case of any recharge required. Please let me know

      Thanks
      Sandesh

        I called airtel several times for adding up new connection to my existing connection of dth they said that they ll call back in a while. I called for about 6 7 time on 16 april because of it i have to bear a loss. We couldnt share the same connection with third floor people and have to more for the same. I called customer support again and again but no replies and my problem is not solved. This was not at all expected from airtel it is now better to switch to some other service provider. Poor customer support.

              My old SIM (bearing mobile no. [protected]) stopped working suddenly on Monday.

              The new SIM 4173U I got issued on Tuesday from Airtel store but it did not get activated until yesterday 12 noon and then I went to Airtel store again yesterday at 12 noon and they gave me new SIM 5662U and it has not been activated yet either.

              I contacted Airtel store again few minutes ago and they said that due to some technical problem SIM activation will take some more time.

              I do not understand what the problem is and why you are taking so long time to activate new SIM. My old SIM stopped working suddenly on Monday at 7 pm and it’s been more than 48 hours now since I am in constant touch with your Airtel store and customer care but all in vain. This type of poor service was not expected by a renowned company like Airtel.

              Please do the needful today and activate my SIM 5662U today positively or else I will have to shift to some other network. You can contact me on my other Mobile No. [protected]

              I will wait for your call and prompt reply.

                I have been using [protected] phone number from last 10 years and travelling out of country from last 7 months.

                Without any notification to me, my phone number has been issued to some other user which has resulted leakage of my confidential details like banking, whats app group etc.

                Absolutely unacceptable from trusted service provider like airtel.

                These Airtel people... they tell they give 40mbps speed and provide 2mbps speed.. i told i will go to consumer court and their reply is your wish... I’ll give a big headline in news paper . Bloody cheaters.. I’ll make sure this becomes a big issue in this country.
                Under guaranty stuff they are asking money although person did Not carry the receipt book.
                And company forced me to pay him.
                This is company rule.
                Strugglingbfrom last 20 days but no one responsible person contacted to me.

                        I received the message from airtel that i port request is approved and my number will be ported.
                        My old sim stopped working and my when i inserted my new sim i am getting message "mobile network not available", now currently my both sim are not working.
                        If i call on customer care or go to airtel store they don't have any solution also, they even said i[censored] wish u can port your number to another network.
                        Please make my number operational otherwise tell me who will be responsible for the loose that i will go through because of inactiveness of sim

                        Hoping this time my issue will be resolved

                          This is to inform you that i have done recharge through retailer for rs 19/- for call rate as i got the message but till date this was not incorporated, hence we have asked the retailer he said he has received the message & the amount was deducted from his account so he asked to launch a complaint. The recharge was done on 20/4/2018 at kalyan west. We kindly request you to look in to the matter. My phone no is [protected]

                            I would like to convert from airtel postpaid to airtel prepaid. I initially contacted your cutomer service who asked me to visit nearby store for conversion. So i stepped into 1. Beml last bus stop, channasandra store on 23/04/2018, your staff there straight forward informed that all their ids are blocked and will not be able to take the request. Next i stepped into 2. Kumarswamy layout police station road store on 24/04/2018, staff their was not concerned about the query and said concerned person is not available and will need to come back another dat. Next i stepped into chikkalasandra, bangalore intl. School store on 25/04/2018, your staff says there are no sim stocks and have to wait for 2-3days. Is this the way each and every store provides customer service? Is it so difficult to convert within same operator.

                              Theres no network in most of the public places even and 4g or 3 g speed is hopelessly bad. I ported my number from vodafone thinking airtel is good but this is my biggest disappointment as i was a good loyal customer of airtel before jumping to vodafone. When calling a person, it doesn't ring for me and gets disconnected. Hopeless bad bad bharti mittal for poor airtel.

                                  My requirement was so simple, to change sim from karnataka to tamil nadu circle. You guys made my life miserable. I was not having access to my number for 4 days. On top of that 3 days only with outgoing calls. I missed lot of important calls because of this. As an it professional, i am expecting some important career oriented calls. Because of your "technical issue" i don't even know who called, you guys can't provide a call redirect facility either.

                                  If anyone tries to call my number it says please check the number you have dialed!

                                  My mobile number is [protected]. Please fix it asap. I'm losing out on lot of important calls.

                                      Hi,
                                      My phone number is [protected], it is using into a feature phone, suddenly airtel activated a self video service and started deducting money every day. This has been activated automatically and without user intervention. Now while talking with customer service executive they are saying it might have been activated automatically but they are not able to refund the amount. Wow, what a cheating doing by indian largest telecom operator, they are leading the market picking pocket of normal subscribers.
                                      Arrange for refund and penalties asap, unless will go to consumer forum.

                                        Hi i have opted to port my aircel to airtel prepaid card with one month pack. I have submitted aadhar card and also recharged for porting to airtel before a month. But still now, the number is not activated and verified from airtel. I didnt get any response and its showing only the atdsa error when the sim is tried to activate. I need to fix this at the earliest as my number is not reachable still now.
