      To whomever it may concern,

      Subject: unable to do prepaid recharge for [protected]

      I am an educated person and i myself work for a software company. When i raise a complaint you need to understand i would have tried multiple ways. Instead of doing your basic checks you are providing timepass measures.

      Coming to the issue, i have converted from postpaid to prepaid because of such service and again the same issue is coming for prepaid. I am trying to do online recharge via airtel app/airtel website/amazonpay/freecharge but i am getting 'recharge unsuccessful' error.

      I have raised a complaint by calling to 121 on friday (23/3/2018) which is still open until now. Even before writing the mail i have spoke to one of your executive 'pavan kumar' and he disconnected the call without proper reply. Befoe that i have spoken to multiple supervisors like parvez/padmapriya/kumari and everyone promised to solve the problem by half a day but its not solved.

      The basic sla that you say to solve an issue is 48 hr. Now its approx. More than 72 hrs but still the issue is open and none of the customer team has a clue about it. When i ask them to contact the technical team they say that they have dropped a mail and its out of their hands. Such a helpless answer.

      Are you able to solve the issue or not? I have complete proof's of mails/call recordings which i am going to use. Because of your nasty service i have lost approximately 10 l of business and i am going to loose more. I will sue you for my loss as i am going through severe mental torcher.

      Until now no one has even contacted me. There is no response to the already raised complaint via phone and this one as well. What sort of service are you promising your customers here. Pathetic

        The network issues of Airtel is increasing day by day..
        For the past one month receiving calls and making calls have become a big problem
        Calling the same number from Airtel and other network has different response ..from Airtel it says not reachable but from other network it gets through in the first dial
        Is Airtel also closing down like aircel and relieance that the network issues is increasing day by day
        Will they solve the problem or we have to Port to other network
        Comsumers have to face so much problem due to the telecom industry .. how many times we have to keep posting and facing problems

                          I have been frustated by the Airtel Service. Now i want to port out to other company. Now i am not able to send the Port Out message to 1900 from my phone. The Airtel Company banned my number to send sms to 1900. I have complained to customer care and also airtel store but they are giving nonsense reason. They always says "You will be able to send sms to 1900 by late evening". I have complaint 3 times. I want to complain this to TRAI.

                                I enrolled in airtel secure plan in feb 2018. On 13th march night, my phone incurred some damage but i discovered it only on 14th march & called 121 on 16th march for raising a claim. Meanwhile, i also tried to initiate the claim using the app which never worked!

                                Airtel secure rejected the claim stating that i had not contacted 121 within 48 hours of "discovering" the damage, which isn't right because i discovered the damage on 14th.

                                I've tried to resolve it with airtel without any success.

                                Airtel doesn't provide receipt for duplicate SIM cards. The MRP on the pack reads INR 5 but they charge INR 25 without any receipt. I experienced this in Kamahanahhi branch of Airtel. When I questioned them, they refunded INR 25 to my account but that's not what I wanted.

                                  As per my visit to both the gallery vodafone and airtel, final came to know the porting has been done in airtel.

                                  On 26.03.18, i visited byculla airtel gallery. They had taken rs.: 300 for activation of my mobile no.

                                  Due technical error in the system, i had to bear a sum of rs.: 300.

                                  Request to please look in to it at earliest, and request to please start my mobile no on pirority.

                                    There is a very slow network, as well as not for any technical help. Only the customer's time is wasted by giving false tuition. No one solve my issue. The first network was very slow but now it can not be done at all. Due to this i have to face a lot of problems. Money is getting worse. So we request you to correct it as soon as possible.

                                      Hello team,

                                      I was using airtel network for more than 12 years and i have been using the same number
                                      Recently, i changed the network from airtel to the idea and i used it for two to three months and changed it again to airtel

                                      I paid idea bill on october 3rd and submitted the port request the same day
                                      But idea took 7 days to port and (My internet was stopped for these 7 days)
                                      Now, suddenly idea has sent a 470 email to airtel asking them to block my number stating i have not paid the bill
                                      I did go to idea office to investigate and as have to pay 470rs for 7 days

                                      They don't have a statement showing how many calls or internet i have used.

                                      This is cheating and i am not paying any money to idea

                                      But what disappointing is that the airtel agents are keeping calling and texting me saying your number will be blocked

                                      I am very frustrated on airtel for not listening to me

                                      If my number is blocked then i will change both my number and network, i will not pay airtel bill as well

                                      Regards,
                                      Nikitha
