Respected sir/madam,
I’am varsha rajput, i’m using airtel sim card and i have done recharge of rs219 pack on 21st february. On 3rd march i’m was trying to call at railway number 319 but it was not connected saying “your account do not have sufficient blance to connect this call”,
Then i called at customer care number and asked them about the same, the executive told that “ your main account balance is zero “ so you have to recharge again for rs 10, because this number is chargeable, than i told them i have already done recharge of rs 219 pack and it is for 28 days pluse unlimited local and std call then why should i again do recharge on my phone??? She in between disconnected the call. Again i called at customer care number and told the same, this time also person disconnected the call.

In the airtel recharge plan they have not mentioned anything like this plan does not include calling on chargeable number.

Sir/ madam i kindly request you to go through this matter and take some serious action.

Thankyou

Varsha rajput

      I am using airtel prepaid, last one year i am not getting signal in my home. While reporting network issues in your site https://www.airtel.in/opennetwork/reportIssues, a number 12118 is provided
      Which is directed to services of airtel rather than signal strength complaint.

      We can find your mobile services in detail from your official site. So please do not show such older way of advertisement. Whatever be the mobile pack, we need to get range to do voice calls. Or else your site should be truthful to accept such complaints. Or else please do not show such airtel advertisements in tv. Customer service in right way is the biggest advertisement rather than wasting money in telecasting dialogues and celebrities

          I was using the airtel prepaid connection for almost 12 years. The number is [protected]. From yesterday the sim is not working. My wife visited the airtel store at neeladri road and ask for sim change.

          She was informed that it will take 2 days to get the activation after taking the new card. And also informed that whatever the existing amount i have recharged few days back for 3 months 599 will not be carried over to the new sim.

          I would like to know or understand the recharge is done for a number or for the sim. If we are not recharging fro one day we got the disconnection immediately.in this case it is a technical failure of your sim and still we are suffering that our duration lost as well as the amount we recharged also eaten up and we got cheated.

            Dear consumer complaint forum,

            I visited to one of the airtel office in banashankari 3rd stage in bengaluru for getting new a sim card as my card was damaged.
            I was given a new sim card and was told that the new sim will be activated within 4 hours and was told to pay up 25 rupees as service charge.
            I paid them and asked for a receipt but i was denied a receipt and was told they do not offer any receipt for the 25 rupees.
            I talked to a couple of them in the store but all of them told the same thing.
            I asked them i[censored] will get a message from airtel for the charges and they said no.
            Is this even a good business?
            I am having my own doubts.
            I called the customer care and asked about the process and asked if there are any charges and i was told there is a 25 rupees charge but when asked if i will get a receipt, i was told to contact the store itself.

            Request your kind intervention into this matter and help me understand the process and get me the receipt or my money back.

            Thank you

                    Wrong name and date of birth have updated in my account details for my Airtel number. Due to this, I am unable to port to any other service provider. Clearly this is a mistake and irresponsibility from Airtel's side. They have done this purposefully so that the customer won't be able to port out to a different service provider. And when I checked with customer care and Airtel store they told to me that it is my mistake and they can't help in this (Suggesting me to take Airtel postpaid connection, pathetic).

                      This is getting ridiculous. Every time i call a 1860 number from my number [protected] i keep getting a few beeps and the call gets disconnected. The issue persists over multiple handsets. On calling the customer care the standard response is that it will be resolved in 48 hours or that it will work after restarting the phone which hasn't worked. Not great customer service. If a resolution is not provided i will be forced to change subscribers.

They told to submit Proof of address and proof of statement of card, I mailed them both. They told account would be unblocked within 2 working days. 12 days have passed but still no reply or follow up from them

                            Could not submit claim due to error on airtel website and mobile app. They called me and asked me to tell lie about actual date of damage. When verification call from oneassist came for verification (Airtel's insurance partner) they knew that i am telling wrong date of damage. So i told them the real airtel issue. Oneassist even worse than airtel rejected claim in less than 5 minutes and i didn't understand what was my fault. Airtel on the other hand mounted on me and said despite their willingness to help me (With guidance to tell lie to hide their lacuna) i told oneassist the wrong date of damage. Which fool would do that. Well nothing can be done now was their last line. So i am porting out my all numbers and also switching to different broadband provider.
                            I have all interactions recorded on phone which i had put on youtube as well.
                            In this extremely competitive world this kind of response will bring down airtel to shut shop in coming years.

                              My number was supposed to be activated on 25-feb-2020. Its been more than 12 hours and i haven't got the connection yet but iam receiving messages stating "Dear Customer, your new Airtel SIM is active. Please restart your handset".If i restart its same. please fix this.
                              Only twenty call goes out of this number .i want to solve this problem
                              I have been charged for ISD calls for INR 800 whereas I have never made any ISD calls from my phone.
                              Also the time of call as shown is bill shows 5Feb when I was travelling to Nasik and was on another call so it can be doubled checked

                              Customer care is still forcing me to pay
                              I am very stressed and have told Airtel to look into it but no luck

                                I made the payment of rs. 1000 on 23rd december 2019 for the installation of broadband connection but due to some technical reason, connection request was denied by technical executive and was never installed.

                                From past 2 months i have calling customer care multiple times but everytime i hear that within 48-72hrs amount will credited but that never happened.

                                The company is now just playing with the customer. On 1st of March I received an email that amount will be refunded in 72 hrs and that was not done. On 5th of March received another mail that amount will be transferred to another landline number whereas I do not have any other landline number. I simply needed refund in bank account.

                                All customer care executives are paying attention neither to the request nor to the email.

                                  Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560078

                                  I have purchased airtel xstream box 5 days back. And it it my biggest mistake. I am not able to stream airtel xstream content. I have raised this issue to multiple times to customer care. And three times to airtel nodal office. They are still not sure that they will be able to resolve it or not. Always they are asking me to wait for 24 hours and not giving any reply on that issue.
                                  I am asking to refund my amount they are also not doing...
