I recharged it on 7th january 2018 with 1710 rs as suggested by tata sky customer support executive
I made the recharge by 9 pm but didnt received the benefit even as of now
Also money had been deducted and neither recharge has been done nor refunded
This is done consecutively 2nd time
It is quite intolerant which is unbearable

      I have requested for port with airtel, and they took 3 weeks to complete the port request. Even after 3 weeks call services are working completely. I can able to make a calls but i am not getting incomming call and messages from other mobiles. And i have raised the complaint many times through mails and calls to the airtel customer care but they i did not received the proper response, i have got only one response from airtel is backed team is working on the issue. But there is no eta to resolve the issue.

      Note : hence i would like to convey that if you (Airtel) are not capable of resolving the issues in time then why you are deceiving the customers and claiming the no1 services in india.

        Dear sir/madam,

        Iam prepaid user of airtel mobile service.
        I went to link my aadhar (Uid) with my mobile as its is mandatory by government, what i found was they are keeping prepaid cards user to keep outside in sun light, where at same time they are doing same thing with postpaid user inside the airtel store in cool air conditioner facility.
        When i inquire with one of staff of there, he told me that it is company policy to make the prepaid user suffer outside the galary store in strong sun light.

        Request you to please check with the concern airtel authority why the are using double policy with the prepaid card user

        Attaching photo that i took some time before near airtel store at prabhdevi

          I have newly shifted to banglore from chandigarh (Around a month back).
          Currently, i am in roaming. The outgoing calls and messages are not working for my number from past 2 days.
          I even visited airtel office and they said everything is fine. After that, they asked me to contact customer care but they are unable to resolve the issue.
          I want it fixed asap otherwise i won't be left with any other option than to change the service provider.
          My number is [protected]

            It's regarding my number [protected]. I had got it ported from reliance to airtel 2 months back. At the time of porting, i wasn't informed or asked about whether its a prepaid or postpaid. I was by default subscribed to postpaid billing with an arbitrary high bill of 300 per month.
            One more problem with this sim was that i wasn't getting any otp and hence wasn't able to use the my airtel app to check all this information. Neither i got any sms regarding the same. I had raised the complaint to airtel number of times regarding this issue but they did nothing to resolve it.
            In the end, when i got fed up with their service and called them to terminate it, they are asking me to pay 607 rupees!
            Firstly, i didn't have any information about what i am being billed for so long.
            Secondly, it had such a nasty otp problem that my aritel app wasn't working.
            I don't want to pay such a huge amount for this [censored] service.

              We are facing the issue from Nov month 2017 onwards. We raised lot of complaints on customer care. They said it will be resolved. But still the issue exists. Then why we need to recharge and pay the money?

                Dear airtel
                Kindly activate my multi connection no. [protected], which was not activate as promised by airtel since 4 january
                Please dont make any foolish commitment... Indeed it is very awful that my request is not being answered since 4, january 2018. Even after providing all details i am not getting response and also your 24 hrs customer care support failed to answer my queries.

                Since, i am facing very big issue, and process of not answering my request; your company left no other option and i need to file a case in consumer forum.

                I really do not understand how what kind o[censored]nprofessionalism this is. 24 hours customer support is for what? For not providing any support? This is affecting my personal communication system.

                I shall not recommend your company to anyone! Call me:[protected]

                  I chose airtel because it is an indian company but regretting it now as network is damm poooooor people can not reach me, call drops.. I think airtel only invests money in tv and print advertisements and make false claims rather than investing in network improvement. Jio haa juat launched and giving amazing network to theirr users so what is the excuse airtel has now??? Will soon port if no action taken... Which i am sure will not be taken as i am complaining since many years...

                    India's no.1 fraud company airtel.

                    Due to worst services and bad network experience of airtel and i port to other network and cleared all my bill and after that i didn't received any bills related email or sms from airtel

                    Hdfc bank smart pay has processed my hidden bill which was done though airtel back end without informing me.

                    Now airtel is telling its final bill and you have consumed so much of data thats why we are charged so much.

                    How come this guys deducting my money without my knowledge.

                    If you bill is genius, then why i haven't received bill details via sms or email. (If number is deactivated in your records you should email the bill to my registered id.

                    So its clearly shows your fraud activity on customer money.

                    If your really customer oriented and serious about customer. Kindly resolve this issue otherwise. I will move to court under 420 case.

                      After 5:30pm i received call from retention team ([protected]) for retain the post paid connection. I agreed that offer, which contains rental discount & additional minutes for my existing 199 corporate plan (Refer msg attachment). But after 7:45pm my connection is disconneted without any information.

                      I requested you to restore my postpaid connection asap without changing the sim (This is what you people committed to me).

                          I have changed post paid to prepaid.

                          The guy from airtel told me that within 48 hrs your new sim get active. Now almost 5 days. Still not getting activated. Pathetic service. Called 121 multiple times and they are saying same story every time.

                          Got signal now but couldn't make 59059 verification. I liked airtel service before now planning to think about it.

                          Have other sim while doing this kind of activity.

                          For past 4 days struggling lot. Couldn't book any tickets.

                            I am very disappoint and feel very unsatisfied with all airtel customer services, level 1, level 2 and level 3 support and reply regrading this simple issue to convert postpaid to prepaid.
                            They don't care of the issue just provide the time frames to fix the issue and after that again some time... Same circle is going on.
                            They don't care if they lose one customer as they have large number of customers that why they are in demanding position.

                            For my issue level 3 has given 48 hours to complete and fix my issue, but they also failed.
                            This how your customer services department is working.
                            If they do not fix simple issue than what they are doing regrading major issue.

                            I home phone from airtel also feeling to remove this services also.
                            I will also post comment on all social website regrading this issue. Eveytime i call to the customer for the status and they provide the time and they say that it's still pending

                            Very unsatisfied... Below the emails regarding reply from airtel support.

                            Thank you.

                                I wrongly recharged of rs.448 to some other number [protected] instead of my number [protected]
                                When i seeked for reversal of the same i was told that it is not possible
                                However other mobile service providers are reversing or transferring the amount
                                To the right number (Copy of the same case of vodafone is enclosed)
                                I want my money to be either refunded to my bank account or to transfer it to my mobile number asap
