    Hey, airtel today I tried to recharge for my friend sim, I recharged it using the paytm app and I accidentally ended up typing out the wrong number to recharge, as my friend needed an urgent recharge I have recharged another time for him. I hope you can help me with a refund through paytm, thank you so much for your co operation.

    I will attach the paytm invoice as for what paytm had asked me to do, thank you.

        Airtel deleted my prepaid phone number all of a sudden without any prior notification. Upon going to the store, they are not guaranteeing that my old number will get reactivated. I have also reached out to airtel nodal officer and not getting any resolution. Please help me with a resolution. I really need my original number back and I have been using this for 15 years and it will be a bigger problem to change contact number.

            Airtel — Unauthorised Internet pole in front of the house
            There is an internet pole planted in front of the house. This is done without our permission when we were not at the house. This is causing a lot of inconvenience and have completely eaten up the parking space. The pole has also become a hub of a lot of wires mostly local tv cables causing a complete mess. Please help in getting it removed.

              I have done my mobile phone recharge (Airtel) on 9th June 2022 for Rs.99 around 12:35. I have received the message stating it will be processed in 4 hrs. But the next day i have received the message stating it is failed and refund will be processed in 7-10 business days

              Its been one month now, I have not got the refund. I reached out to Airtel store Koramangala they say transaction as not happened and they cant see it. I have sent email to Airtel but there is no response. Being customer of Airtel for more than 10 years i have lost the value and integrity for Airtel not resolving the customer issue.

              I am getting in touch with the bank but they need the statement, how can Airtel can share the statement i am not sure, Airtel does not even confirm that the transaction is failed over an email.

              I am stuck. Kindly support and resolve my issue. I can share my mobile number, but using the failed transaction id[protected]) you can be able to process the refund.

                One Telephone Tower Installation work has been started yesterday 30.06.2022), Which is beside my Residential building. On the first day, they dug about 10 feet deep ditch adjacent to my boundary wall. During this rainy season, my boundary wall may collapse into the deep ditch in a soft mud area, as it may take several days to complete the deep foundation work. Secondly, the Installation company has not taken permission from the local authority to install the structure in a residential area. Also, they have not maintained a minimum distance of 3 meters from my border. Thirdly, the inhabitants of the area are protesting against the Tower Installation as it may create an unhealthy radiation problem in the periphery. Forthly, this high tower may collapse at the time of the cyclone on my building as it happened earlier in 2019 constructed by the same broadcasting company. As such we request you to take adequate measures to ban this construction.

                  Dear concerned,

                  I took an Airtel Xstream broadband connection on 26/05/22. There was a problem in the line and I raised a complaint on 21/06/22. It Has been 1 week as of now and there is no resolution. I called customer care so many times, every time they are telling me that they will escalate the issue on high priority-asking me to wait for 24 hrs. Like that i waited 7x24 hrs.
                  My connection details are as follows.

                  Finally I am fed up with the Airtel team and their irresponsibility. I asked them to disconnect the internet and to refund me the amount. They are not ready to disconnect or to refund.

                  I paid 6 months in advance and now they are making me tensed and in trouble. I'm feeling so much mental tension because of the Airtel Xstream customer care team.

                  Please take proper action on the Airtel Xstream team from your end. I want proper justice.

                  Still 489 INR is balance. When will i get this? Why this much delay to refund my amount? Instead of resolving the issue in a smooth manner, Airtel is making the problem much critical. What is going on? Can you pay that amount with Interest?

                    I have raised fiber shifting request on 05/Jun, till today no progress at all. It's been 25 days already, I ashamed to wait these many days for shifting that too in bangalore. No use of calling customer care at all. I fed with airtel service, Seems no proper communication between customer care and back end team. This is worst experience I ever had. And my prepaid recharge money got wasted without using internet. I think it is time to change network provider.

On this issue I visited Airtel office too but they were too negligent with touch-me-not attitude.

                          Hello sir/ ma'am,

                          This is to bring in your notice that I have been cheated for prepaid sim delivery.

                          I ordered prepaid sim 20th February on Airtel Thanks App, after which I received a call from [protected], saying then he will send his delivery guy with the sim.

                          Om Monday 27th February the prepaid sim was delivered to me by the agent mobile no. [protected].

                          He took my driving licence copy. And 500 rs. And said sim will get activated within 48 hours..

                          Even after 48 hours when sim didn't get activated I called him, he simply said your dl got rejected. You have to take new sim. I'll come on Friday with new sim you give adhar card this time.

                          When I told him you return the money I'll buy sim card from store it self. He said OK. Evening I'll come and return.

                          Since then he is not picking up the phone.

                          I called customer care they said its not their department. They can't help me. I need to keep contacting that guy.

                          This is just fraud airtel is doing in the name of sim card delivery.

                          I want my money back. Even if 500 rs only.

                              Sir,
                              I Rahul R Gupta having Airtel DTH connection bearing Customer id [protected] have report a complaint of my remote issue dt 26.06.22 service request no 66436162 & dt 28.06.22 service request no 66557608 but till today my complaint is not resolved & my complaint of dt 26.06.22 was closed by the technician without solving my issue. As I am unable to view my TV from 26.06.22 due to non-working of remote as I have recharge yearly I request kind management to refund my remaining days balance & also setup box charges as Airtel company can’t provide me new remote & the service center close the complaint every time without resolving the issue. After repeated reminder & telephonic discussion with Technician Mr. Parmeshwar ( Mobile No [protected]) fail to response & not receiving the phone. So please arrange for refund of My DTH balance charges which was paid annually so that i can take another company DTH connection. So please do the needful at earlier.

                              Regards,
                              Rahul Gupta

                                    I have raised a request to relocate my Airtel DTH within premises as first time the engineer who came to install, installed in wrong place and now very frequently there is improper signal so i was advised by one of the engineer who came to check the issue for error in channels to raise a new request for relocation. I raised it and its been 4 days now 2 engineers have been changed but none called and i have tried following up with Airtel black team also as I am black customer but they also assures it will be resolved asap but I am not getting any updates at all. If being a Airtel Black customer I am getting so bad response what will happen to non black customers.
                                    One Request they have even set to resolve saying issue is resolved but no one even called and visit how its resolved #[protected]closed one)
