    Sir, i accidentally recharged the number [protected], instead of my number [protected], through mobikwik.

    The amount was inr 425, and the transaction id was en[protected]. I tried calling the person, and he was playing dumb, though he did say that the number was an airtel prepaid.

    I called airtel customer service on 121, and the executive was fairly uncooperative. The only solution he could provide was to get in touch with the concerned person, and request him to recharge my number. Also, when i requested that he confirm the recharge to the wrong number, he expressed his inability, and redirected me to airtel prepaid. I was on the line for close to 10 minutes, but no one answered, and i was forced to listen to nonsensical advertising.

    Also, sending messages to 59109 with
    Wrr wrong customer no transaction id correct customer no
    Or
    Wrc wrong customer no transaction id correct customer no

    Botth produce the same error: "no keyword match, enter proper message"

    While i acknowledge my mistake, i expected airtel to be more co-operative about this, as the wrong number was also an airtel customer. While this was indeed my mistake, i would like to say the following:
    1.in 2013, and airtel sales executive defrauded me of inr 300, claiming that it was for a security deposit, and didn't issue a reciept. Airtel repeatedly refused to co-operate. The ticket id is ref17842202. Till date, i haven't got the money back. I have used many service providers, and have never encountered anybody as unscrupulous as airtel.
    2. There was great harassment while trying to port my number from kolkata to delhi circle, ref18195147, and an e-mail to the nodal officer, who also couldn't help.

    So, considering that airtel finds it okay to
    1) defraud me of inr 300
    2) harass me while i try to port my number
    3) not co-operate when it easily can
    4) has a nonsensical aadhaar linking policy (This is a big story in itself),
    It is obvious that airtel does not value me as a customer. Hence, i have had enough, and have sent a port out request to 1900. I will port out on monday.

          I have recharged my airtel number [protected] for the 509 rs plan two times on 17th march 2018 by mistake due to network issues. The money also has been deducted twice.
          The transaction id's for both the recharges are :
          [protected]
          [protected]

          Kindly check and cancel one recharge since this is a special offer recharge and not a top up. If the recharge cannot be cancelled then please provide an extension of validity for 180 days since the recharge has been made twice. Otherwise please refund the money of one recharge back to the same account.

              Mera name anil kumar h. Mera mobile number [protected] h. Maine airtel application se airtel secure mobile protection insurance plan liya hua h. Mera mobile december 2017 me accidental damage ho gya tha. Jisme mera mobile band ho gya tha or screen tut gyi thi. Jo ki maine airtel secure se accidental claim kiya tha. Mera mobile repair ke liye mere house address se pickup hua tha. Uske bd mujhe mera mobile repair hone ke bd mila to mobile puri tarah se repair nhi kiya gya tha. Mobile me sirf screen repair ki gyi thi lekin mobile ki band condition ko repair nhi kiya gya tha. Jiske liye maine dobara se airtel secure me is baare me complaint di. Uske baad mera mobile dobara se 1st february 2018 ko repair ke liye repick up kiya gya. Pickup ke time pickup boy ne mobile ko check kar ke liya tha or mobile reciving slip bhi di thi. Uske baad airtel secure se mujhe caal aai or bola gya ki apko apke mobile ke repair status ke baare me update kar diya jayega. Lekin mobile repair status ke baare me mujhe koi call nhi aai. Or 08 february ko shaam ko mera mobile mujhe diliver hua. Wahi dilivery boy dobara se mera mobile deliver krne ke liya aaya jo mobile repick up krne aaya tha. Jb maine apna mobile check kiya to dekha ki mobile ki screen andar se damage thi or mobile phle ki tarah he band tha. Maine usi time121 pr call ki or sara status bataya. 121 se mujhe bola gya ki aap mobile ko receive kijiye hm 121 se apki complaint register kar rhe h. Uske baad mujhe airtel secure or one assist se call aayi or maine dilivery time mobile ke damage condition me milne ke baare me bataya. Airtel secure ne mujhe mobile ki damage condition ki photo mail karne ko kha gya. Maine airtel or one assist pr puri details or photo mail ki. Uske bd mujhe kai baar airtel secure se call aayi or unhone mujhe bola ki hamne apki complaint register ki hui h or apko jaldi he solution denge. Lekin 14 february ko airtel secure se mujhe call aayi or bola gya ki apne mobile ko khud damage kiya h. Uske baad bhi maine baar baar apko mail ki ki maine mobile ko damage nhi kiya h. Lekin aap airtel baar baar mujhe alag alag baat batate h. Kbhi kahte h ki maine mobile damage kiya h, kbhi khte h ki maine jo mail ki usme photo me screen damage nhi dikhai de rha or kbhi khte h ki maine dilivery time pr damage mobile receive kyo kiya. Dekhiye me abhi bhi kah rha hu maine khud se na he mobile damage kiya h. Aapke airtel secure ne mere mmobile ko damage kiya h.
              Me baar baar mail kar ke preshan ho chuka hu. Airtel meri problem ka koi solution nhi kar rha h

                All of a sudden yesterday i received amessage from airtel that in your mobile [protected], modelmaniawservices are activated and rs 30 /- was deducted from my mobile balance.
                I do not understand how the company can activate such services in my mobile without my request.
                The company does deduction without any confirmations to the customers. And customers are suffering.

                I request the company to return my deducted money in my mobile balance.

                      Website: www.airtel.in/prepaid-recharge

                      Two times I tried to do an online recharge on the website http://airtel.in/. I used debit card and the redirection to the bank. Both times it took INR 509 and both times the recharge failed. I want a refund, immediately. Transaction IDs are[protected] and[protected]. I tried a third time using the one time password sent to my phone, and this recharge worked. But doing a 3d-secure payment does not work, it just takes the money and does no recharge. So please refund those two transactions. Thank you.

                          Sorry, but hijacking the security of online payment is a very bad idea. You must redirect to the bank website after i enter the debit card number. But i have to press an extra link which then redirects to the bank website. Then i can do my authentication there, and after it redirects back it is always saying that the transaction failed. Please change the interface back to the way it ought to be. Also debit card should be default, not any these funny untrustworthy other payment methods.

                          Two times I tried to do an online recharge. I used debit card and the redirection to the bank. Both times it took INR 509 and both times the recharge failed. I want a refund, immediately. Transaction IDs are[protected] and[protected].

                                    Hi guys,
                                    I am also suffering from the same issues as debit freeze since 1 month and so couldn't transfer money. I am stuck with my money in airtel. I have sent the mail to higher officer also but didn't get any response. They are just doing # things with customer. Some higher authority should take actions on this.
                                    Please if anyone knows the solution plz help me here:
                                    [protected]@rediffmail.com or [protected]@gmail.com

                                      I too had the same problem. I changed circle of my post paid sim. Night after 12 its got disconnected so i put new sim which got network in morning but not able to do tele verification. When i call to 59059 it is telling to subscribe caller tune services. Unable to receive any message or calls but outgoing is working. Please look into this issue asap. I am unable to get otp of banks transaction. This kind of service from top mobile network airtel is shame.
