Airtel — Urgent Complaint Inactive Mobile Number [protected] Due to Stuck SIM Swap Request (No Response from Airtel)

Address: 2D 704 | Kalpataru Serenity

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against Airtel India regarding a serious issue with my mobile number [protected], which has been inactive for over 3 days due to a stuck SIM Swap Request in their system.

🔹 Issue Details:
I had requested an eSIM previously, which was later cancelled at the store.

After factory resetting my phone and losing access to the old device, I visited the Airtel Store in Pune to get a new physical SIM.

However, the store is unable to issue a new SIM, as the system shows:
"SIM Swap Request is already in progress for [protected]".

This pending request is stuck, and the Airtel backend is not resolving it.

🔹 What I Have Already Tried:
10+ emails sent to Airtel customer care.

Multiple visits to the Airtel Store.

Messages sent to @airtelindia on Instagram and Twitter.

Raised the issue with the Nodal Officer, but no resolution or proper reply has been provided.

🔹 Impact:
My mobile number is completely inactive.

I am missing important OTPs, banking alerts, and work-related calls.

Airtel's failure to resolve this is causing severe inconvenience and possible financial loss.

📌 Request:
I kindly request the intervention of the regulatory body to:

Direct Airtel to immediately close the pending SIM swap request.

Ensure a new SIM is issued without further delay.

Take note of the negligence and non-responsiveness from Airtel support teams.

I have attached a screenshot showing the store error message as proof.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
