Dear Sir,

I already gave complaint regarding recharge problem. I am the registered user of Airtel MChek. I can recharge my old number 98946***** through MChek. But cannot recharge the new 770866**** number. Showing number is incorrect.
I contacted to MCHek customer care. They told me "It is AIRTEL problem, They didn't update the database, that's why you are getting this problem".
So I have forwarded the problem to AIRTEL Customer care, But they are still not updating the database.
But they mailed to my mail id & messaged to my number, like "your problem is solved".

So Please solve my problem.

Regards

    Hello,I'm using Airtel prepaid sim for the past 10 yrs..but from a week there are number of outgoing calls automatically dialled from my mobile.The numbers are [protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected].I really don't know these numbers and how are they being dialled.Twice my balance was reduced to ZERO rs.Can anyone help to find what the problem is.

    Dear friend,

    Sorry to hear. Your best bet lies in throwing away this prepaid connection, destroy the sim and go for a post paid connection. Then drag this company Airtel to consumer forum and report this matter to TRAI - Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, New Delhi along with a RTI. You may contact Airtel/Trai/Press/DOT/MIT by e-mail in one go.

    I myself have fought Airtel successfully in getting stopped uncalled for add-ons like caller tunes, PC-secure and refund of the excess money charged though it was below Rs.50 each time. You may also endorse a copy to me and at e-mail: [protected]@rediffmail.com for helping you further.

      Recently since one year airtel has been deducting my balance on fake charges. When i called customer care they either say that i had downloaded some game from gclub.in of airtel live(which i had never downloaded) or that i had activated some service from airtel(which i had never activated). Each time they either cut 15,30,40 or 50 Rs balance on those charges. The Customer executive also refuses to refund my balance. My entire family uses airtel and everyone has the same complain. When i asked my friends who use airtel they say that even they had faced similar problems and were fedup of such kind of behaviour of airtel. If such behaviour of airtel continues, then there would be no option left for us other than dumping airtel. I request airtel to stop such kind of mess of our money.

        Hi,

        Airtel recently deactivated my number stating address verification failed. They said they sent SMS and tried calling me. But as per my knowledge, I never received a call or SMS. Here I may choose to reject a call from unknown number. They said they are following TRAI guidelines but here I can clearly see their address verification process is just the most junk. As just calling and verifying address will never work. Anybody can submit a fake document and then complete address verification by answering a verification call. Now they are doing a favor on my giving back same number to me by paying for a new SIM card.
        They just deactivated my number and sent it for recycling it. It caused me so much of inconvenience as my wife was using it on roaming when they deactivated it.
        They never told me how did they try to do address verification saying they have no data on it as they have deactivated the number. Such a bull$#**.

        Please, kick out Airtel as you may face this same trouble. Prefer some other carrier who has better process in place.

        Airtel — faulty process

        Dear Sir/ Madam

        I am writing to you as a very upset customer of airtel who is waiting to switch over to Vodafone or some other telecom company.

        The problem that I am facing with airtel is as follows:-

        I first bought 2 new corporate postpaid connections from airtel with the numbers [protected] and [protected] with the name of GBC and submitted all the documents required by the airtel officer.

        After few days the no [protected] stop working stating the reason that the documents are not complete so I contacted the airtel representative again and he came to my office to collect the documents once again.

        At the same time I required one more new connection so I purchased [protected] from that representative and was told by him that I do not need to give 2 sets of documents as 1 set of documents would be used for both the numbers i.e., the old connection and for the new one..

        But days passed by and the number didn't work so I called the airtel representative on his mobile and he told me in the morning that the number would start working by the evening and then in the evening when I called him again he used to switch off his mobile. This happened for few days and then I finally decided to call the nodal officer so when I called the nodal office, there was this representative with the name Monica who took my case and she promised me that the numbers would be working by the close of this case as I was not wrong anywhere and it was airtel who was missing something on there process and she also promised me a resolution. But somehow the call got disconnected from her side and when I called her again there was someone else and he took my mobile number and promised me that he would tell Monica to give me a call back as it was not possible for him to transfer the call to her and he also promised me that he would do a follow up on this case so that I am assured a resolution. But to my dissatisfaction. No one called me up and when I called the nodal Number for somewhere around 7 to 8 times after holding the lines for minutes I was not able to connect to anyone stating the reason that all the nodal officers are busy at the moment.

        So today i.e., 28th September I called the nodal number again and got connected to Monica and now what she is telling me is that the numbers are permanently blocked and if I wanted those numbers again I need to submit the whole set of documents again.

        Though the case was open how can you close the numbers and also do you feel that for 1 number I submitted the whole set of documents twice and I should submit them again for the 3rd time because there was some problem with the airtel.

        Where are those documents that I have submitted earlier gone.Have they been misused or misplaced. what should I take that as.

        The details are as follows:-

        Airtel Numbers that I purchased :- [protected] , [protected] and [protected]

        Airtel Representative Code:- AE120 (as written on the form)

        Representative Name:- Anuj Chauhan (Mobile:- [protected])
        Lokesh Kumar (Mobile:- [protected])

        Nodal Officer Name:- Monica


        This is just to inform you that you should go ahead and see how your nodal officers talk with the customers and are so worst in the way of saying things that it feels like that I have done something wrong on my side that they are talking to me like this.

        Your Nodal Officer, Monica told me that I could get a transfer of the activation charges of Rs. 600 (for two numbers) to another airtel number if I don't want to continue with the numbers and now when I have decided to leave airtel and go for other company they are telling me that I cannot get the money transferred to another number and nothing can be done about it. She is also asking me to go ahead and search for the airtel representative that came to my office for the documents and talk to him about where my documents are if they are not with airtel.

        Is this what you tell your customers when there is something wrong from your side, instead of apologizing and doing the needful.

        Please let them know that I am not worried about my Rs. 600.00 as I am running a company but called them just to have what was promised to me.

        But it seems that airtel has left all its customers and don't care about them anymore and also don't care about what is been done in airtel.

          Contact number is:[protected]

          we have recently moved from pincode 600114 to Pincode 603203.
          WE HAD A VERY TOUGH TIME TO GET DE-INSTALLATION AND RE-INSTALLATION.
          initially AirTel customer care could not tell that there is no service of Airtel in our area. after few days on repeated calls, they said we have to approach the Airtel Dealer and the dealers address and tel number will be provided by airtel by sending sms as DEALER 603023 to Airtel.

          We received only one dealer's address whose telephone number was always switched off. (Sri Aruna Agencies, pin 603203). Then Customer care said send sms to DEALER MORE PINCODE to airtel. This 'dealer more' SMS received a reply "The nearest dealer is already sharred. kindly try from different mobile".

          After wasting about a weeks time, with a local dealer's(NOT AIRTEL) help, we had installed the dish. but it need to be reactivated. we have been informing the customer care, they says it will be done in 45 minutes, 2 hours, etc. it is not getting done.

          I also need to update my new address to my Account. Please help us.

          Hello, I am exactly facing a similar problem with my connection. ERROR CODE 6 for the last 2 weeks.

          Customer Number - [protected]
          Service Request Number - 3047961

          I raised a request to transfer my connection from one place to the other within Bangalore. It was such a pathetic response. Once, I got the antenna installed in my new location, after a day's time, I am seeing ERROR CODE 6. This is the end of 2nd week after raising this complain with Airtel DTH Customer Care service.

          Till date, as far as I remember, I spoke to the Customer Care of Airtel DTH atleast 20 to 25 times with regards to resolving this issue. In fact, the field guy representing Airtel came to my new location 3 times to resolve this. He could not do anything. There is NO ACTION till date from Airtel DTH.

          I remember Mr. Guru Prasad from the escalation department of Airtel DTH promising me to resolve this week last itself.

          Some representative from Airtel whom I spoke to the field guy informed me that my validity is expired. Immediately, today, I called up Airtel DTH customer care to recharge my account for 3 months (around Rs. 900). For every interaction, the standard acknowledge which I get is to wait for 45 minutes or 24 days with NO ACTION associated to it. No one personally calls back and asks for the feedback. I only get stupid automated calls asking for the customer care service feedback. All such calls are even more frustrating keeping in mind the current frustrating situation.

          I am missing all the Football World Cup matches because of relying on Airtel DTH services.

          Hello, I am exactly facing a problem with my connection.I changed my connection to HD and the airtel agent told that it will be activated in 1hour but still it shows ERROR CODE 6.So please help to solve this problem.

              Airtel No - [protected]. This number migrated from Postpaid to Prepaid on last month with lots hurdle from SmileTel, hosur and AirTel executive. After migration they asked to recharge 200Rs and few more Rs (Really, I forgot the exact amount I spent) for validation. Exactly after one month on 15th May 2010 service to my number stopped. Today, I approached one of the retail recharge location, he called to Airtel and said I need to recharge 200Rs for 2 years validity, and more surprise this number is retailer number. I don't know How my number became retailer number. Airtel wanted to Join me as business partner????.

              I never expected this kind of service from Airtel.If anybody had experience Please give a guidance to proceed...

              Of late Airtel is going crazy. They have blocked my mobile outgoing calls and asking me to recharge, though I have a balance of Rs641 and my service is a prepaid service. When I sent the email I got a reply to call 121. Actually I sent the email because I could not get throug to 121.
              Yes sure same here my airtel outgoing validity is also showing expiry date of 30th November 2018. i think best option is to migrate to Vodafone or Jio.
              Friends, This seems to be same with all providers directly or indirectly. Please check the following link for better understanding about this issue.

                    Dear Sir/madam

                    I am mehul patel from vadodara,Gujarat. My complain against AIRTEL DTH services that i am using since last july-09.
                    i have facing a critical viewing problem since last two months. At last 21st april-10, I did complain to customer care. But my problem still not resolve even
                    they sent an engineer to my home. Meanwhile i called many times to customer care and even also mail them. Every time they reply and told me to
                    solve problem within few hours. But then after no body would come to solve problem.
                    My DTH unit is still under warranty of one year and they deduct daily charges from my account. I think they are not intend to solve the problem in
                    Warranty period and pass the time.
                    Today morning i also called customer care and tell him to take my unit and viewing card back and give me another set or give my money back,
                    but then after they just sent sms. My problem is still as it is.

                    After paying that much i am not happy. They are cheating people by giving ads. I want my money back soon.

                    Here i give some details of my id and complain no.

                    Dear Sir,
                    This is Jainil Sheth from Vadodara, Gujarat and I am facing the same problem with these foolish airtel people.
                    I have purchased a Airtel Digital TV set top box and 25 days ago I request for addition of new channels.
                    I have reminded them for atleast 10 times and every time I heard the same answer that "You are having Dish orientation towards sattelite-1 and for your requested channels our engineer will come to your home and change dish orientation towards Sattelite-2 and your complain will resolve in 24 hours."
                    Till date I didnt get any response from those people.

                      One of the worst service provider in the world is Airtel. Please don’t recommend airtel DTH to anybody.

                      Airtel is Waste in all respective services which they are providing

                      Airtel can give the entire connection to TATA who is giving best service as of now.

                      most awful[protected]etc.,
                      AIRTEL DTH IS THE WORST CONNECTION AND AIRTEL SERVICE IS BAD THAN ANY SERVICE PROVIDER. AFTER 4 DAYS AIRTEL TECHNICIANS CAME TO INSTALL DTH AFTER I LAUNCEHED COMPLAINT AT NODAL OFFICE. I AM GETTING ONLY ERROR CODE:4 SINCE THEY HAVE INSTALLED IT AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD AFTER INSTALLATION THAT "ERROR CODE WILL GO AFTER 10 MINUTES AND ALL CHANNELS WILL COME" AND HE WENT AWAY.EVEN AFTER 18 HOURS ITS JUST SHOWING ERROR CODE:4 ON ALL THE CHANNELS AND CUSTOMER CARE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT AGENTS SAYING IN 1 HOUR OR 4 HOURS THE ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED AND ITS PATHETIC SERVICE AND BAD EQUIPMENTS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN ALL THE EMPLOYEES OF AIRTEL JUST GIVE LAME EXCUSES AND PROVIDE BAD SERVICE.IF AIRTEL CAN NOT PROVIDE GOOD SERVICE TO HE CONSUMERS THEN AIRTEL EITHER SHOULD GIVE REFUND TO THE CONSUMERS AND DISSAPEAR FROM THE MARKET OR SHOULD GIVE HIS BUSINESS TO TATA OR DISH TV WHO ARE THE BEST SERVICE PROVIDERS.NEVER RECOMMENT AIRTEL DTH TO ANYBODY.
                      Worst service ever experienced.
                      Recharge done and the subscribed channels are not getting displayed.
                      There is no response from customer service.

                      1. The plan is automatically getting preponed with higher rates than the actual plan rates.
                      2. Additional channels are added without our permission.
                      3.Subscribed channels comes with error code 4 after the successful recharge.
                      Each rupee counts and do not cheat the customers by misguiding them.
                      Provide proper support when some problem is encountered.
                      Am getting error as TV code 4, regarding this I have complained a n number of times through airtel app but no responses and no actions taken on the issue. Paid for 6 months pack and now almost one month gone since unable to use TV. Whether airtel will bare this one month charge sure they won't, their need is to only receive the money not the customer needs. Worst DTH better can navigate to Tata sky which is far better than this worst airtel dth

                        Subject: Set Top Box not functioning.

                        In continuation to the below emails, yesterday we called your customer care centre in Panaji “Anuj Agency” with complaint No. 2674504, they replied that they are supposed to get New Set Top Boxes by today evening, so they will send the replacement by next day.
                        Today we got a call from “Anuj Agency” that no technician is with them, with request to bring the Set Top Box to Panaji, at that time I was in my Panaji Office, I went back to my Home 14 kms from here, brought the Set Top box.
                        One technician came to my office with old Set Top Box, which couldn’t be swapped by your controlling office. The technician giving bad remarks to the customer care manager had taken back the Set Top box which he brought for replacement.

                        Dear Sir,
                        With reference to above captioned subject, we need to bring in your kind notice that from last 4 days the Set Top box RED colour LED is not glowing and nothing is appearing on TV screen.
                        The unit is registered on my son name Mr. Gaurav Gupta and his mobile No. [protected] the registered email ID # [protected]@gmail.com.
                        Continuously we are complaining the issue to your company, but seems that your company is not taking it seriously, and not interested is solving the problems faced by your valued customer’s after selling the product.
                        Who will compensate our losses of per day charges for a week time and the loneliness & harassment my family suffered?
                        If the problem is not solved within 24 hours of this email, then we may move the case to consumer forum and ministry of telecast & broadcasting for which your company will remain solely responsible for any serious action taken by the departments.
                        The negative attitude towards after sales service and supports reflects very poor services rendered by your company, which is great irritation to the customers, those who are using your products and services. Try to improve your after sales services, thus satisfying the customers.
                        Kindly look into the matter and resolve it as earlier as possible and oblige.
                        The unit is installed at below given location:

                        I have taken the two DTH HD connection from Airtel and requested for connecting under one Id, so i can save some money and simmilarly company will save installation cost. but to my regrate they not only created two Id but also anable to rectify the mistake. I have made so manny calls to customercare help line and service provider GLOBAL but all in vain.
                        thay all work like a recorded box in this internate era.
                        Iam tatally frustrated and belive that our old cablewala is much better then these recorded box.
                        Now i have requested them to cancell my order if they are not doing under one ID.
                        my id is [protected] & [protected]

                        Airtel DTH — hopeless service by airtel

                        CUSTOMER ID-[protected]
                        I have Airtel DTH connection since one year.I had recently changed my home location in the same city . 2 weeks back i had booked re installation request and they gave maximum time of 5 days that engineers will be there for reinstallation ,but there was no response. Till now i had called them for more than 15times and they do false promises and keep on extending the given time.
                        There is no proper customer service at all. Airtel service is HOPELESS and FALSE. There system is also not updated.

                            This is a complaint against one of the franchises of Airtel Digital Tv - Vriti Infocomm - who are responsible to sell the kits and install Airtel Digital TV.

                            I ahd booked Airtel Digitav Tv Kit online. After that I got a call from a Sales executive - Mr. Sharad Dixit from Vriti Infocomm. He had called me on 24th april assuring me that if I made the payment online for the Airtel Digital TV immediately, the installation will be done by 6pm on the same day. He confirmed that once the payment is made he will himself get it done and the situation will not arise that he will stop picking my calls.Once the payment was made I called him at least 50 times but Mr. Sharad did not pick up my call.

                            Later on the installation was done on 27th April and the commitment given by me was not fulfilled. Also none of the executives were ready to give me the cell no of any of the senior so that I could put in a complaint. I called Mr. Taufiq (manager), the cell was picked up by Mr. Sachin and as soon as I told him that I want to speak to Mr. Taufiq, he disconnected my call.

                            I also visited Vriti. I met Customer Head ans Sales Manager. They apologized but did not let me meet the executive. They said that he is not available.They gave a small kit of a T shirt and cd pack as a token of sorry. I specifically asked them to ask the executive to give a call and apologize for the rude behaviour but have not got a call still. I have also mailed the CEO of the company, but he has also overlooked the matter.
                            I think Airtel should look into the matter as the franchises are making fool of the customers and the reputation of Airtel Company is being hit.

                            AIRTEL DIGITAL TV — False Information given by the Sales Executive

                            I spoke with the customer care executive and came to know that my Airtel Digital TV account (3 Months Free) is valid only for 2 months; however I have taken the connect on 29th March, 2009 and informed that it will be valid for 3 months.

                            Please let me know why the discrepancy is there between the comments on the sales executive and the customer care executive.
                            To being a renowned company Airtel can’t cheat the customers like that and I want to take this matter into Consumer Forum for further assistance

                            Please let me know if you need further clarification.

                            Airtel — rude behaviour by the sales officer

                            My Prepaid Sim has been blocked without notification by Airtel. Upon enquiry, I was told that there was some problem with the verification of the documents. However, I never got an intimation regarding this. I recharged my account on that very same day by 1000Rs. Within 2 hours of this, my SIM got blocked. If there was really a problem with the verification, how did the recharge take place?

                            The worst part is the Rural sales officer assured me that the issue will be sorted out in 72 hours. Now it has been more than 8 days. The person has stopped responding to my calls. The last statement he said was this "aap ko jo karna ho karlejiye. I am least bothered." The name of the person is Satyenderpal Singh Bhatia and he is the rural sales officer in Indore.

                              The airtel executive who sold the fake scheme & gave wrong committments is Mr Dattatray from Peninsula Chambers & his contact number is [protected]

                              I have discussed the nature of compliant with airtel helpline & retention center & also visited the Airtel Malad Gallary but by query is still not solved & i am wasting my time due to the same reason

                              My complaint number is 32268913 & 32268925 respectively given by airtel customer care

                              I have not utilized single minute of both the numbers and the airtel expect i should pay the bill

                              Kindly look into the matter

                                I am having airtel postpaid cell phone connection bearing no. [protected] under CUG 249 plan where i used to get 600 min free talk time. recently i have received regular calls from airtel agencies stating that a new scheme with additional 400 min. free talk time i.e. free talk time for the first 1000 min for same 249 rental. for this scheme i was asked to take new connection as the existing scheme cannot be changed. accordingly i have converted my earlier no i.e. [protected] to pre-paid and obtained new connection with the no. [protected]. after getting new connection i was informed that the free 1000 min would start only after first 500 mins which are chargeable. this new scheme is not at all useful to me. i have taken this connection on the wrong information provided by the service provider.

                                hence i request that my earlier no. i.e., [protected] may be reverted back to my earlier plan, while cancelling the new connection which i have taken on the wrong information given by the service provider.

                                  Dear Sir,

                                  I submitted an application with airtel for changing the ownership of the mobile no from my name to my name on 26 April 2010. At the time of submitting the application the person at the airtel office in Indiranagar had informed me that while the ownership is changed everything else on that no will remain same including bill plan, std & isd services, credit limit etc. 2 days after the ownership was changed I got a SMS from airtel stating ISD had been disabled and when I called there customer care I also got to know that the bill plan had also been changed without my consent or without any request from my side. I logged a complaint with them, after which they have re-activated the ISD service but they are refusing to reverse the bill plan to the old plan saying it was an old bill plan and has been withdrawn. They are now ready to cancel this connection which I have been using for more than 5 years, but they refuse to change the bill plan.

                                  The airtel mobile no is [protected]. Please help me in this regard.

                                  Regards,
                                  Vishal

                                    Dear sir,
                                    my name is prasad and i'm presently working in a central Govt. organisation in tirunelveli district.i've been using airtel no.[protected] for the past two months. I've got a query with airtel regarding balance issue. i've tried to contact airtel customer care on 121 for three times, after IVR transfered the call to customer care executive, i've got a responce that PLEASE CHECK THE NUMBER YOU'VE DIALED. Yhen i've called on 198(airtel complaints number) there also i've got the same responce..next call onwards IVR started responding me to send a message called AIRTEL to 121. I've sent that message too. Nobody had responded. At last I've called the customer care from my friend's mobile. the call was finally connected to Customer care..after a min of discussion she put me on hold, and then she disconnected the call( even i've warned her that i'm going to lodge a complaint in consumer court if she disconnects the call)...there was no chance of less coverage area as it was showing three bars in my mobile.
                                    Again i've connected the call to customercare on 198 from my friend's mobile, i've got in contact with the customer care..i've told him the entire story..after a couple of mins he also disconnected the call..

                                    Bieng a user What i can do is, i can bring the complaint to the consumer court. please send me the action to my mail address ([protected]@yahoo.com)

                                    please take necessary disciplinary action on the above mentioned company.

                                    thanking you,

                                      recently lost my mobile and so i bought a new Sim card from one of your Airtel offices by paying 25 rupees.

                                      While i am writing this e mail it has already been 4 days and my SIM card has still not been activated. I have already received all kind of possible excuses from the customer service department and i still haven't got a solution. (Not even something that sounds close to a solution) and to mention that this has been one of the sickest customer service experiences i have ever had.

                                      Solutions given by your customer service department,

                                      1) System updation - a susal answer given by the agents if they dont have a solution to the problem.
                                      2) Buy a new sim - solution given by a so called supervisor.
                                      3) Activation pending and require 24 hours to get it activated - repetitive answer given by CSR's at the end of every call and it has already been more than 90 hours.... ( by this time my card could have been activated more than 3 times....)
                                      4) Card has been activated - while the card has still not been activated.
                                      5) Card shows pending activation - i got this reply after i have received the previous answer at no:4....

                                      I have also worked as a CSR but i have never come across such lethargic, horrible, irresponsible, unsupportive


                                      For god's sake if a human is going to read this email please help me get my SIM card activated as i do not have any other option and that is the advantage you people will take from a helpless customer like me!

                                      I took a new postpaid connection and just after two days my sim card stopped working. I went to the airtel representatives sitting in reliance corporate park campus and i was told new sim cards are short in supply. after a lot of arguments they took out a new sim card from the drawer of their table. They promised me that the number will be same and will be activated by 8 in night as next two days are holidays being 26 jan and sunday. My sim was not activated and when i tried calling my no as my friend told me its ringing , i found out that airtel gave same no to someone else and that person is using my no for 2 full days and airtel customer care doesnot respond on phone.

                                      I am highly frustrated and angry.......................

                                      Airtel/Sim card activation — worst & rude customer treatment

                                      Hi i am Aditya I am an customer of airtel from past 3years.when ever i get issues in connectivity i tried to contact customer care.Its like reaching milestone to reach the customer care executive.Really i felt bad and wasted my enormous time by waiting in IVR menu.

                                      One of the worst treatment i faced in 07/01/09 that i lost my mobile & got Duplicate sim card at the instant of replacement they promised me it will be activated with in 2 hours.But i waited up to next day still it as not activated.than i contacted customer care agent "Annapurna". She promised that with in 2pm it will be done.Again i waited up to evening 7.30 . than i called again spoke to an lady called "Kavitha" She really according to me unfit for any kind of job in this world.She as never tried to listen my request.she just asked my name contact number & address than put me in hold for 5 mins.Came back and said this is fault through Dealer & asked to contact them.than i was trying to tell her that i got this from direct airtel not through any dealer but she never listened to my words instead she repeatedly saying contact dealer..., When i interrupted she rudely said listen this is what you have to do, I cant help you

                                      regards

                                      Aditya
                                      Your service is very bad and i m not happy with airtel
                                      I have purchased a new airtel postpaid sim through a airtel dealer on 12/08/09.
                                      and they told that it will activate after three days but till now it is not activated.
                                      When i tried to enquire to airtel dealer got no response.
                                      So please take an immediate action against them...

                                        Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

                                        My prepaid number was barred without any intimation. I called up 121/198, no help. I was asked to go to Airtel office and resubmit the documents. Why, no answer. I submitted my docs in Divyashree Chambers, Banerghatta Road Office. Even after a week, no update, outgoing still barred. I went to Koramangala office. The lady at prepaid counter tried helping and called up Banerghatta office, but they were clueless. I submitted my documents for the third time at Koramangala office and filled up the form again. I was given another sim stating that the old one will be barred in a day completely and new one will get activated along with my balance transfer, with same number. After 4 days, old sim is barred, new one not activated. I get a call from same lady stating that the old number can not be fixed and I will be given a new number if I visit them again. So after 4 calls to Airtel and 3 visits to their offices including 3 times documents submission; I am left without my number which is with everyone in my family and friends circle, including all official records.
                                        All this hassle without any fault of mine. Highly unprofessional behaviour by Airtel. Never thought of this in my distant dreams.
                                        I am going to disconnect my Airtel broadband and shift to some other provider who has some ethics left.

                                        My email id is given in my complaint itself. Looks like your focus in more on copying and pasting the same response against all complaints than trying to resolve the complaint itself. Isn't it?
