I think sim upgrading is free for all but i was charged 25 buks by them.
I was in a hurry that's why i paid for it..
They told me free 4g sims are not available right now and you have to pay for it if you waana upgrade your sim card.. i talked with the customer care services and they told me this is totally free.
Why they charged me 25 buks of a free sim card...
I want my 25 bucks back.. i am totally Disappointed with your service...
THANKS

      I have been allotted postpaid airtel No [protected] for the Airtel data card
      which I am supposed to have got today in place of Tata Photon.

      But the same is held up for want of Address verification. I was asked to contact [protected] for fixing up for address verification. But this number is of some lady who used to work in Airtel 2 months back and now is in Paytm.

      I have been given the sim but am waiting for the dongle and also then it has to be activated. Can I request for urgent action as the Tata Photon will stop working any time.

      Thanking you

          Dear Sir/Ma'am,

          I am Binita Solanki.

          I applied for Postpaid MNP in Airtel Network.

          At time of MNP Executive of Airtel (Mr. Sandip Parte ) told me about below mentioned plan which includes below benefits
          1) Plan would be Rs.349 + tax for lifetime
          2) In 1st bill I ll get 50% off
          3) till 6 month i ll get another Rs.50- off.
          So my current plan for 6 month would be Rs.349-Rs.50+Tax but now my 1st Bill I received & its showing Rs.399-50+tax & this is for only 6 month later it ll be Rs.399+tax.

          Today I called Airtel Executive to confirm the plan, he told me that he left the Job & he can’t do anything. I asked about his Manager's Contact Number, HE told me that he deleted all contact details.

          He was behaving very rude & told me contact to online Customer care.

          Kindly give me my committed plan benefit which is Rs.349+tax & for 6 months 349-50+tax

          Regards,
          Binita

              I went to airtel store in nasik (Mh) for mnp (On 13th march 2018) & was asked to pay rs.50/- for mnp & that too in cash only. As per my knowledge, trai has slashed mnp charges from 31 january 2018 to rs4/-. Mnp charges are only rs.4/-, however i asked that will i get any receipt or balance in my ac, they simply said no. Will anyone let me know why airtel is charging huge fees for mnp?

                Airtel customer care and technicians are fooling me everyday since last 3 days. On 12th March 2018, I fixed the slot of 6 PM to 7 PM for the services, because they told that they do not work after 7 PM. I took off early from my office, but after speaking with technician more than 5 times, finally he said sorry. He is unable to visit as he got stuck with some other customer. He kept on saying that he will come within 10 minutes etc.

                Next day again, I fixed the slot at 6 to 7 PM. But, again after talking several times with technician, this time also he wasted my time. Finally, he said sorry. Now, I cant make it.

                Then, I called customer care airtel. Spoke to them for 30 minutes, spent Rs.60 on this call. I was promised in writing that the technician will come to my place at 8 AM sharp on 14th March 2018. But, no call, no service. They are just pathetic.

                The, I called airtel customer care on 14th March 2018, at 2 PM. Then they were so rude to talk to me and they kept on saying that we can't provide you any service at 8 AM.

                I want to put mental & physical harassment claim of Rs.1 lakh on Airtel due to this problem. Also, I want my service to be done free of cost and 8 AM in the morning or after 9 PM in the night.

                We are working in a private company and we also work some days whole night, or early in the morning or sundays etc. This type of statement is totally unacceptable that their technicians do not work at 8 AM. Everybody in this world should be flexible with the timings, in case of emergencies.

                I have a small kid of 5 years old, who is having school holidays. What he should be doing without TV? If your technicians do not listen to seniors, then better to terminate them.

                  I ported my airtel sim rajasthan circle to airtel haryana circle. On 4th march. Now it has network and calling facility only. And internet not working although i have proper apn settings and data pack.
                  And when i try to call 121 or 59059, it redirects to the airtel services and ask me to enter my number. Next the twist is it says wrong number on correct info.

                    Dear sir / madam,

                    I have sent the request to port our 5 mobile numbers (Corporate plan) from airtel to other service provider, about 20 days back. It has been rejected by airtel without any reason to our new service provider. It should have been through within 7 days time as per the tri norms.

                    There is no communication to us either from airtel regarding the same.

                    I will appreciate you will look into the matter, without any further delay.

                            temporary suspension of outgoing facility

                            Address: 185131

                            Despite repeated attempts at trouble shooting and even changing the sim i continue to be unable to make any outgoing calls from my number. Whenever i try to make a call i get the ivr tellingbme that outgoing facility on this number is temporarily suspended call 121 for more info.
                            Customer support executives seem clueless about why this is happening. My guess is that it is a glitch in one of their servers.
                            Clearly airtel needs...

                            Hi, i ported out my aircel postpaid number [protected] to airtel on march 1, 2018 but the airtel sim is not yet activated. I approached airtel care centres, but they didn't have any idea about this thing, and asked me to wait for a week. I waited for a week, but it s not working at all. And its already 14 days.

                            I need the same number, i want the reason for why it is not activated and what s the issue.

                            Try to solve the problem and activate the sim or provide other ideas to get the same number

                              Hi team,

                              My network provider is airtel.

                              I own 3 connections from airtel about a year. The parent number which i use is [protected]. This is upgraded to a plan of 1999/- in which 2 add-on phone numbers were free.

                              I made this request in october 2017 by contacting customer care. It was communicated over the phone that the consolidation request is been taken but i am charged every month for each connection.

                              I spoke to gallery and care the solution offered every month was please pay the bill and we will process the reques nothing happen. Every month i spoke to care & gallery same story in loop. Even wrote to nodal officer just take assurance.

                              I am fed up with the fraud and need your assistance.

                              Regards,
                              Faizan sharif

                                Plan changed in jan 18 on your own. Complaint lodge on 3.3.18 vide no.93864798. Request for email reply not met with. Promised to revert back to the original plan & adjust excess payment not done. Whereas, again sent sms asking me to pay rs.706.48 instead of rs.245 by 31.3.18
                                When contacted again on 14.3.18 and asked about the fate of my complaint i have been informed that the complaint was closed, upcourse, without my consent. I talked to mr. Chandramouli and later the call was transferred to ms lavanya without any fruitful results. The game is blaming each other. She said she will inform the backend team.
                                I need detailed email reply. Please solve the problem and facilitate with email reply. Henceforth i will not make any payment until the problem is solved.

May i know the reason? Can i get back the connection? Please get it corrected.. I am reaching kerala next month. How can i use the number again?
                                  Other network providers are providing solutions to get uninterrupted connection.. What i have to do, so that next time my connection will not be interrupted.
                                  My cable connection also, is airtel.

Unfortunately on 12/03/2018 i have received another msg and mentioned therein my due date as 13/03/2018. On enquiry i come to know that i have subscribed a new chenel 192 wich is totally baseless. Same chenel is not activated also. So please look into the matter and rectify.
