Yesterday, i visit to airtel store regarding my complaint that my airtel sim isn't working from the morning (Till morning it was working properly). Then, they gave me a new airtel sim and said that it'll work within 1-4 hours. Till now, about 18-20 hours and still the new airtel sim isn't working...
Due to this, i'm facing a lot of problem as my number is linked with many important authorities and my all my tasks are pending and i'm facing a lot of problem because of this...
Plz resolve it asap...

      Hi,

      I hold an airtel pre-paid number and have just re-charged it with 399 plan. Had opted for 399 = unlimited local/std/roaming and 1.4gb data per day for *$ days...! But when the message received the plan duration was showing only 70 days...? What happened to initial package of 84 days which i applied for? Why i was charged 399 for the plan but given 14 days less.

      Pls have a look at the complaint and revert.

        Hi team,
        I was using airtel services from nov'17 to nov'18 using mobile number. Due to very bad network coverage, i switched over to another operator.
        I was waiting for the last bill from airtel, which i never got at my communication address or email id ([protected]@gmail.com)
        Now airtel has blocked my outgoing services on my current operator via trai for pending bill.
        The question is how can i pay the bill without received from airtel? And is trai is advising to operators to block customer services for unpaid bills without informing them and without sending bill to them? Will customer get a dream how much the bill :)?

        I called 121 (Customer care) and they tell me to contact cheryl pereira (Nodal officer) to resolve my problem. But she doesn't received my call. This is a stupid service provided by airtel.

        I have written an email to them ('[protected]@airtelindia.com') and nodel officer (Nodalofficer. [protected]@in. Airtel.com) but no response till yet.

        I am ready to pay the pending bill but should received my bill at least on my communication address or email id but sill not received.

        If you requires other information related to this please call me on alternate number [protected].

        Very pathetic service by airtel.

          I am using airtel for long time. I changed my post paid plan in oct'17. According to the plan every month i am eligible for 4 gb data. But this data is always showing 0 gb and i complain every month to claim the data that is guaranteed by airtel. I have been complaining for the part 5 months and there is no permanent solution. Even i changed sim, reinstalled app 100 times. Still issue is not getting resolved. It has become a routine that i complain to airtel about this issue beginning of my billing cycle. I am really unsatisfied with the way the customer is treated. Also i am surprised a no.1 service provided don't have technical capability to solve this simple issue. Also i see airtel is not worried about the customer. I am not asking anything free. What is entitled to me in not given which is cheating the customer.

            On 14.04.2018, at 1807 hrs, i initiated recharge on phone number [protected] for rs.509. The process of payment through hsbc credit card was gone through. After entering the otp, waited for over 15 minutes and the recharge was not reflected in the account. But the amount (Rs.509) had been charged to my credit card account.
            When i contacted hsbc this morning, i understood that the transaction had been through. The reference given is 003136.

            Kindly check and arrange for either refund of the amount to my credit card account or complete the recharge of the phone [protected]. (After the transaction seemed to have failed, i made yet another recharge for rs.249 valid for 28 days)

            Please check

              I did not activate any services. But they are deducting rs.35 from my account every week. My mobile number is [protected].
              I am getting messages like thanks for choosing lifestyle service on your airtel mobile and they deducted rs.35 like 3 weeks already.
              When i try to contact customer care every time my call is getting disconnected.
              I want the airtel company people to return back my amount.

                I would like to bring to notice that there is a junction box installed without our notice right on our compound wall. Despite repeated efforts to reach airtel, all is in vain. Need to remove the same on an urgent basis.

                There has been so many false promises from airtel with regards to broadband. Initially they said there is feasibility and now they have come up with a new story saying no feasibility.
                Need an immediate solution.

                      The below services were started today morning on my mobile without my knowledge and without me opting for the same.

                      1 : LIFESTYLE
                      2 : AIRTEL NOW FLASH

                      Rs. 70 were debited from my account balance for the same. I have stopped these services.
                      Request Airtel to provide me a refund for the same as these malpractices are not acceptable.

                            I am unable to recharge my airtel prepaid number after i changed it from postpaid to prepaid.

                            Every time i do a transaction from app, the amount gets deducted from my account but the transaction shows to be failed as the bank has rejected the transaction and the amount has never been refunded to me. So far i have spent almost 1000rs on this.

                            When i tried doing the same form paytm, it showed transaction failed but at least i got the refund.

                            Please help me resolving this issue.

                                Mr concerned,
                                I am extremely disappointed to inform you about the irritating and pathetic response to a customers complaint.
                                I raised a complaint that my set top box is not working.4 days passed and no one attended my complaint.
                                Today again when I complained to your company customer care and they told me that they dont have any spare set top box. I was shocked to hear that you irresponsible dont even have a spare set top box with you and claiming indias best network.dont you feel ashamed? My customer id is [protected]
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                Today when i called the nodal officer he assured that my problems will be resolved today itself and the area manager will give a call back . So far nothing happened and nobody even called me and no technician visited to check my set top box

                                The telephone number given in airtel website for Maharashtra is not even working. Airtel s technology dont even have the facility to check thier own phone numbers are working

                                    I am using Airtel from last 2 years now. But from past 2 months, when i am trying to call my home on any other number like Idea or something, everything it says “All channels are currently busy”. This keeps on happening for 15-20 times and at last I couldn’t make calls. But whenever i will dial from another mobile or number, it will get connected. I raised a complaint to Airtel’s customer care also but they say everything is fine. I don’t know what to do. There’s something wrong with Airtel. Why are they doing this??..i have got tired of facing the same issue. Please help me.

                                        I have recharged my mobile number ([protected])twice with 509 plan (on april 13th and 16th)by mistake, when I spoke to Customer support people they are saying that
                                        THEY CANT REFUND, THEY CANT EXTEND THE PLAN ON SAME NUMBER FINALLY HAPPILY THEY KEEP MY MONEY WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY SOLUTION
                                        they are saying that extending plan can be done if it is 199 plan or 448 plan but not for 509..what the hell is this

                                        they did not even take any complaint when i asked to rise a complaint.. need a solution for this.. this is not fair at all, , if some mistake is happens there could be some solution for it ... finally I decide to port my number if they dont resolve this
