[Resolved]  Airtel — Duplicate SIM not activated

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

Got the duplicate SIM, as the mobile is lost.
Have submitted the requested docs in the Airtel outlet, Bangalore. They gave the SIM and said it will be activated in 4 hrs, now its like 24hrs, and SIM is still not activated.

Its needed urgently, so called customer care, twice in morning, and once now, all 3 customer care representatives, said 3 different things, last person said, it will be activated only by tomorrow (around 72hrs of time)

Ridiculous. They give fals assurances, its just money that matters to them , not the urgency of customers...

AirTel — Duplicate SIM not activated

Having lost my SIM I applied for a duplicate sim the next day at around noon ( 4 May 2011) . I was told that the duplicate sim for my postpaid connection would be activated within 4 hours, its more than 12 hours now, and is still not activated. The customer care person asks me to get information from the place where I got the duplicate sim! This is so not customer friendly. I am choosing to disconnect the service as I am tired of this waiting.
I am Vibha Sampath residing in Chennai. My airtel sim which is a Karnataka sim got damaged so I called customer care. They told me to get a duplicate sim in airtel main office in Chennai. So I got a duplicate sim on 17th Jan 2015 from your Santhome High Road office. My sim is still not activated. I have submitted all the necessary documents to Chennai office. I am very unhappy by the service provided. I can't go all the way to Mysore to just get a duplicate sim.
Last week I went there twice. I submitted document on 17th Jan. They told me that I have to get a passport size photo. Previous day when I went they just told me photo id is required. They didn't tell about passport size photo. I told them I can mail a soft copy of my photo. For that also they did not agree. I complained to authorized person. He agreed to send a mail of my photo. They also told that back end people is not in the office and since its a Karnataka sim back end people should be there. Later after complaining they got duplicate sim. They could have got without giving reasons.
I want my number activated immediately.
