    I have converted my mobile ([protected]) from airtel postpaid to prepaid.
    I was told that first recharge i need to do in store and later i can do online. I followed the same.
    Now when i try to recharge online using different ways like airtel app, airtel website, paytm etc..
    Every time it says transaction failed.

    I called customer care and there is no proper response from them.
    Please help me in resolving the issue.

      I have been using airtel secure service since the very beginning. Recently the screen of my phone broke and needed a replacement, for which i asked airtel for help for my screen repair, but it was declined straight off. The reason given that till june of 2017 i was using a samsung note 5, the price of which was ₹ 60, 000, and i was paying the airtel secure amount accordingly. After june i started using an i-phone 7 the price of which was ₹ 50000.
      I have been denied the services of airtel secure because i have been charged for paying for samsung and claimed insurance for apple... I was under the impression that my current phone is insured under secure because while charging for the same airtel was never interested in clarifying or knowing which handset are they securing they are just interested in monthly premiums which they get on time.
      I don’t understand why don’t they repair my handset for which they have charging for months. This looks like a pure scam

        I registered with airtel paymen bank (Apb) and i added 3000rs to the wallet immediately because i wanted to transact eith payubiz gateway which accepts apb wallet.
        When i tried to pay using apb it says i cannot pay using apb wallet.
        Now when i sent an email to the apb customer care they sent me this reply.

          Yesterday (1-mar-2018) onward my airtel mobile no stopped working suddenly. I was using that no since 2015. Then i visited a airtel showroom in madurai opp to madurai district court. There were no response to the customer, all the customer were unsatisfied with their service. They didn't recovered the instead the try to charge me rs.25, and my proof and a photo to give new sim card. When i asked them to solve my problem, that cc girl said that is none of their business. She didn't at-least tried to solve it will the collaboration with their tech team. Utterly disappointed.

          I cant accept the complaint was notified by Airtel. Because still my problem was not rectified. I was charged Rs.30 for new SIM on Saturday 12:50 pm as they have told. In the outlet they told the SIM will be activated in 4 Hours, but still the number was not been activated. I have visited the Outlet several times and they told the process from their side all done and it shows as EB pending. I called the customer care from a Colleague's no they told the forms were not been attached, but the outlet employee used bio-metric reader to access my Adhaar. End of the result,
          1) I was so suffered with no Connection of Mobile number, Data Access for 6 days,
          2) I was Charged Rs. 30,
          3) I spent money for Petrol to visit the outlet about 5 times,
          4) I lost my Primary time to work,
          5) I lost my Allowed permissions in Office,
          6) To contact Customer Care I begged Each to give their Phone to call Customer care from their Airtel No,
          7) I was totally depressed

          For Choosing Airtel I got all the above and still counting... :'(

              I am residing in saudi arabia.
              Using my airtel indian sim for receiving bank and other services otp's mainly.

              Because here local sim calling charges to india is far more better compared to airtel roaming charges.

              Sometimes unexpectedly i make call from airtel sim since i keep two sims in one phone this happens.

              The moment i realise that i made a mistake, rs.99 will be cut from my account and international roaming will be automatically activated.

              And there is no option i find to deactivate the service to avoid auto renewal.

              Please provide me an option to deactivate the international roaming service.

              I kept searching on internet but there is no solution.

              Thanks

                We are unable to get the signal inside office, not even the traces of signal, i seriously have no idea why it is been so, outside the office signal strength is excellent, don't know what happens inside the office we don't even get single tick of network, while idea and jio are working absolutly fine. Even our clients who visits our office are facing the same problem which does not make comfortable for them while they are on call reception. There might be requirement of signal booster kind of thing inside office probably. I have even gave complete teicw before with reference to the above mentioned complete till now no improvement has been notified nor non of any service person have come to check the this problem. I requested you provide us some signal booster even that has not been done by you. While other network like idea and jio could provide better network at indoors, i seriously don't know what wrong with the airtel network. Because of this issues we are missing some important calls from our clients and site engineers. Please try to understand intensity of problem, and please provide the solution. If at all you are helpless in this issue please feel free to tell the same, we ll find some other alternatives. But please don't come up asking time like 15day, 1month. We have lost so much by this issues and we are not ready to take this any more. I hope you can understand our pain because of this issues. Hoping that airtel will never give up their costumers

                  This in in regard to a recharge done online from the airtel website in the month on december[protected] of rs. 448.

                  Its sad how a company of your bandwidth is waiting for customers to claim their refunds. Its been about 3 months that i have received my refund for a failed transaction that i was charged for.
                  Pfa my email correspondence. Its disappointing that i have been asked to do go to my bank and ask the refund from them, illogical isnt it?
                  Hope to receive my refund at the earliest.

                            I have taken up new broadband plan of 700/- per month from airtel yesterday for 6months in advance. After payment and activation of service, i was refused to amazon prime services even though i am eligible for the plan.

                            I also have a post paid number and yet they refused to activate amazon prime as they have advertised.

                            So i have requested for the refund of remaining 5 months for which they said they cannot provide refund as per their policy itseems and this whole conversation was with airtel appellate authority so there is no point to think they are reliable. They were very good when jio was not there. Looks like things have changed.

                            If you are looking for prime then i recommend you buy it directly from amazon but not from airtel offer.

                            Note: the 500gb bonus data won't be rolled over by end of the month itseems.

                            This is my experience so far as on march 1st 2018. Hope they resolve it soon.

On complaint it was told that tower upgradation job is going on, then said you get the sim reset which i did atleast 10 times. Today it was told to get the sim changed. Talked to executive and seniors regularly. No sr being raised and then told that no previous complaint in records. Same issue faced on pre-paid number [protected]. Nobody visited. Should i go for change of service provider.
