I have requested for mnp of my reliance prepaid no “[protected]” to airtel with code “re236631” but still it is not ported. Airtel guy’s said that your request has been cancelled by reliance. Network of reliance is already gone, step by step incident is as follows-

1. (27/12/2017) request to airtel to port my reliance prepaid no ([protected]) in airtel.
2. Follow up with airtel customer care 15 days but not resolved.
3. (13/01/2018) again visited to airtel store then they raised a new request an provide me new airtel sim.
4. (22/010/2018) continuous follow up with airtel customer care but it is still not resolved.

So please look into this.

      Hi,

      My airtel mobile no: +91-[protected]. Total outstanding balance is rs. 1500/- but airtel company has withdrawal/theft rs. 10000/- from my credit card without any approval or without my knowledge.

      This is not fair i had trust on airtel but now onwards. This is a fraud company and this is not good for who has trust on airtel.
      Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
      Airtel company has online withdrawal Rs. 10000/ amount from my RBL credit Card without my knowledge and without any physical activities in my mobile phone. However I have total outstanding amount of Airtel postpaid only Rs. 1649/- but Airtel company has withdrawal Rs. 10000/- from my credit card. This is big issue.

      I have Airtel app in my mobile but I not using but Airtel has withdrwal the amount from my credit card. This is the fraud transaction by Airtel.

        My name is anup & my airtel mobile number is +91- [protected]
        Airtel have charge me rs 35 on 21 jan 2018 at 11:42 pm for superstore service.
        After talk with customer care they told me the service is active by wap & they cant refund my money as i am not eligible for refund.
        I have not used my mobile for any purpose from 11pm to 1am, also my mobile internet was not active bet that time. Airtel have activate service without my consent.
        If airtel does not solve it & refund me i have to transfer my number other other operator using mnp. This is not the first time airtel activate service without my consent its happen before.
        If i have to file police complaint i will, as i am sick of airtel lies service.
        So look in to this matter

              I have an account of airtel money with account no. [protected]. I already have another airtel payment bank account . And the account name i used is my 2 year old sister's name . She does not have any documents . Neither am i willing to continue that account . So they informed me that they can close the account and send the fund to the source bank from whuch it was received . When i told then to do so they are not replying . I sent more than 60 mails from different email id but they did not reply or ask for kyc . When they already know that i do not have documents why are they asking . Its a type of cheating and trying to engulf my money . This is a SCAM . PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING AIRTEL .

              Moreover no documents was asked while creating account . So why now? If they need kyc they should have asked then . Then my account would not have created neither my money could have been stolen by them .

              It is their technique to trap clients and EARN who cannot provide documents . Neither the ### have any value of their words . Absolute ### thieves .

              airtel is a scam .

                Airtel — Unable to recharge airtel prepaid number from day 1
                I am facing issue my Mobile Number [protected] during recharge. This number was bought has prepaid from Madhapur-HitechCity-Hyderabad (Telengana circle) from Sorrel Store. I have started facing this issue from past 15 days. I visited to nearby Sorrel Store in Chandanagar 3 times and each time sorrel Store people are dropping email to their internal team but no resolution done yet. I had already paid 559 rupees to sorrel Store for recharge. Looks Airtel started cheating their customer.I am very much frustrated with this issue.

                      I have got this my number from airtel 2 months back.. M not getting single sign of network availability still they are giving me one after another bill. So many time i went to their store for cancellation but they are not willing to help.
                      Everytime they just say, you need to complete 90-120 days. If i getting not any service n you ppl are charging me why the question of minimum days arrive.
                      I just want them to investigate about it and get my money back for the time i didn't use service.

                        Hi,

                        I am facing the issue that I have 8000 rupees loaded in my airtel account.
                        When I was loading the amount, I did not receive the notification that account is frozen but when I try to make a payment it says the debit cannot take place.

                        Kindly revert back the charges to my credit card back. I feel this is lack of information communicated to the customer.
                        Had a very bad experience.

                        Kindly revert the amount asap.

                        Airtel Payments Bank account number/ phone number is [protected]

                          Iam terribly upset on the request made by me on 26 dec 2017 and still open as on date (Almost one month).

                          I don't get any proper response and have been shuffled from one number to another number to know status and complaint. Very painful

                          Msg from airtel :

                          Airtel activation update: request no.[protected] has been booked dated 26 dec 2017.

                          Several times i followed with the airtel office where i applied this airtel show room @ 253 gst road chrompet and never get any proper response.

                          I have registered a complaint on online and received a feedback that the same will be sorted out in two days.

                          Sms from airtel :

                          Reference no. 82878137 for your airtel mobile has been registered on 21-jan-2018 10:12. The same will be closed in next 2 days. For status update, sms sr (Ref. No.) to 121

                          Now ms suma l reference : [protected] contacted over phone and asked to send an official mail with this details to sort out this

                          As a customer am worried last one month am running between office and people over phone, now i have to start afresh with mail..

                          All office representative are very cool saying that this is back end issue, that office issues, contact this number, go to the same office etc..

                          I have sent a mail today with all above details.

                          Now some one called and told that i need to again go. To same airtel showroom and start re application.

                          God can only save me.

                            I have been using the same number for five years; now i am not able to receive sms / frequently can’t receive nor make calls. This has been reported since over 2 weeks, there seems to be no cure. Airtel has changed my sim twice, i am not able to carry out banking work / and have lost credibility with my customers who can’t get in touch with me. There is no one to sort out this except getting calls from call centers speaking like parrots the same sentences with out a solution. Frustration is the only word i can use here..!!!

                              Ganapa veeraswamy to inform you that at the time of linking my airtel sim[protected] with aadhar[protected] they created airtel payment bank a/c [protected] and linked with lpg subsidy without my consent as a result my lpg subsidy credited to above airtel payment bank a/c. After noticing the same i reuested to de-activate the above a/c with lpg subsidy after that i received sms to above airtel sim "if you wish to reverse and switch back to your previous bank a/c sms yes to [protected]" on 22/12/2017, immediateliy i sent sms. After i received sms"your request will be submitted to npci and we share an update with you within 72 working hours". But till today the dbtl status shows airtel payment bank a/c.[protected], hence, i request you to de-link above airtel payment bank a/c [protected].
                              Hoping an early action. My email id [protected]@gmail.com
                              On 13 jan 2018 i have transferred 244 rupees from airtel payment bank to another account. The money was deducted but i did not get the amount credited in either accounts. Please give my money.

                                  I have done a wrong recharge of rs 448 on my airtel number using my airtel app instead of my father's airtel number. I was trying to contact the customer care but i think they blocked my number. I then contacted them from another airtel number of my mother. They are not shifting the recharge.

                                  As i already had a plan on my number and both of the plans are getting overlapped, i require a refund of rs 448 to my account as i have already recharged the other number because it was urgently needed.
                                  Also the kind of behavior of the airtel customer support is pathetic. At least they should have directed my call to to the customer call executive.

                                    I have been using airtel postpaid ([protected]) services since feb_2016, in april 2017 i swapped to 4g. Since thereof i had been facing slow internet speed and lodged umpteen complaints, but all in vain. I tried to pay my bills through airtel app but couldn't complete the payment due to pathetic internet internet services, i used to get payment initiation messages, but later the transaction failed due to weak internet speed. I wrote many mails to the service provider to improve my internet speed as it is so pathetic even i am not able to pay dues through app. I received few calls from the airtel and was told to swap phone, i tried that too, again was asked to swap sim again, i tried that too but all in vain. Finally they could not improve my internet speed. I paid advance payment for one month in june, i mailed them that as i have not been able to use the internet services since last 5 months as promised in the plan i will pay only 600 instead of 800 bill of august and september) (Rs. 399 corporate plan), but have not received any response to that mail,. Finally i decide not to pay till my problem is not solved. As they failed to solve my problem they blocked my number and i am unable to use the same since november _2017. I called customer care many times but they said we could not help you, go to showroom but showroom is 89 kms away from my place of work.
                                    As such you are requested to look into the matter and direct the concerned service provider to unblock my number so that i am able to use that number again.

                                    Thanks & regards

                                        Website: www.airtel.in

                                        Performed the online recharge of 448 through airtel web site on 30th dec 2017 from hdfc bank
                                        The amount got deducted from the account however i received the message as recharge failed.

                                        The transaction id for the payment messaged to my mobile from airtel[protected]
                                        The bank ref no for the payment - [protected]

                                        I moved to an airtel store and enquired, got information that the amount will be refunded within 5 days.

                                        Its already more than 20 days still the amount is not refunded. The airtel team is not providing any particular reasons over mail.
