Hi Sir,

With due respect I want to mention that I am Yamini Kant Mahato and my airtel prepaid mobile number is +9192... The number is auto deactivated on 1st Dec 2022 without any notifications, neither any messages nor calls. The SIM was recharged for 1 year subscription on 12/02/2022 of amount Rs.1799 and will be going to expire on February 2023, hence I have physically visited nearest Airtel Office Airtel Store, Sangamvadi, Pune, Maharashtra 411001 and have explained the scenario but haven't tried to understand my pain while Airtel Office Manager was saying that the SIM was deactivated very long ago or the SIM was not using since one year. The Airtel Manager was speaking very rudely even not tried to resolve the issue. I was suck that how his Airtel Team is behaviour with his customers while I shown the latest incoming and outgoing calls records I also updated that the SIM is linked with AADHAAR, PF, PASSPORT, BANK ACCOUNT, UPI etc. But finally they raised the request and told that we will call back you at your alternative number as soon as possible but still no any response. Due to deactivate of SIM, my schedules have impacted. I am not able to make a call since 1st of Dec 2022, my all bank transaction stopped via mobile banking. I can't book a slot for corona booster vaccination. Hence I have visited another nearer Airtel Store, Loyagi Road, Central Avenue, Nilanjali Society, Kalyani Nagar, near Ganpati Mandir, Pune, Maharashtra 411006 on 3rd of Dec 2022, They are telling that we can't see any records of this number so can't help you anything please go to your home circle and check the issue. My home circle is in hyderabad Telangana and its very difficult for me to travel hyderabad from Pune, hence I told my Hyderabad friend to go and check in Airtel, Office, he got info that the SIM got deactivated on 1st Dec 2022 because SIM was running long years hence need again physical verification to reactive it.

Respected Sir, quickly check this issue and help to reactivate the sim. I am available for physical verification at any time of airtel office pune Maharashtra.

Thanks,
Yamini Kant Mahato

          I had requested for airtel xstream broadband connection and made the payment online.
          I did not get any update and i got a SMS from airtel saying that the broadband connection is not available in my area and refund will be processed. It's been a week and i didn't receive refund and the sales person is also not responding regarding refund. Worst ever experience from airtel. If you don't have coverage then why sales person is making false promises and asking us to pay the amount. Holding our money in your account without any response and responsibilities. Will never take airtel connection in any form and will suggest everyone to do the same. Worst ever service provider.

                    Hi,

                    I have a very urgent case to be addressed. I had been using my airtel number +91-[protected] from the past 15 years. Never ported, never changed, daily using and fully active. All of sudden, since 30th Nov 2022 morning there is no signal on my Airtel number, tried changing phones too, but no luck. Calling on the number says "This number does not exist".

                    As a first step, we went to Airtel's head office, Kapurthala, Punjab. They said that the number is not in Airtel's records, the number never existed. The phone number is dead. Called the customer care thrice, they declined to register the complaint and said number doesnot exist in their database.

                    This is completely false, I have been actively using it and recharging it consistently, even recharged 10 days ago. I have the transactionIds of my recent recharges and sms from Airtel from where you can track back that my number was actively being used. I also received/made multiple calls as per my daily routine the day before I lost the connection.

                    I am shocked to hear that the number is nowhere in the Airtel records now, while it was active and working till yesterday.
                    What I understood, is that the record is totally deleted from Airteel's database, it is a major major incident and security breach from Airtel and I am going to take a major action if that is the case. Before I escalate, kindly check your logs and provide me the details what happened to my number.

                    Also, I had the Airtel App installed in my phone and suddenly today I am logged out of that too. I cannot access My airtel account from there too.
                    Furthermore, there was no pending paper work, no pending documentation no pending KYC related to this number, and never received any SMS/Call about it.

                    Since the number is 15 years old, and my default number, I have so many bank and other important accounts linked to this phone number. I am ready to provide all the proofs, eveidences, adhaar card everything to get my number back. Take it seriously and re-activate my phone number as soon as possible.

                    Kindly investigate, give me a complaint number and provide me the details what happened to my number, why is it not showing to your records. You can reach out to my alternate number: +91-[protected] or email id: [protected]@yahoo.co.in

                    I need the following answers:
                    1) Number was active and in use and fully recharged with validity more than 30+ days, why is suddenly not in your records?
                    2) Who deleted the record from your database?
                    3) I can share the recent transactionIds of my recent recharges, cant you track back from those to confirm this number existed even until my recent recharge 10 days ago.

                    Check your logs and provide me the answers, I need answers. This is a major issue.
                    If you have to restore my number from your database backup, do it. I need my phone number back.
                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                    I am facing same issue with my 8 year old working Airtel SIM card.
                    Suddenly on 30th November my SIM card lost signal and when contacted customer care they said they can not find this SIM in their data base. Visited the Airtel store as well but same response, sent emails to Airtel but same response from them also saying no such SIM in their database.
                    Feeling completely helpless.

                              Hi Team,

                              I have done a recharge of Rs. 2999/ on dated[protected]:48:33 through Airtel Thanks App by using my Airtel UPI ID. The payment showed a successful transaction Id[protected] and also the amount of Rs. 2999/ deducted from my bank account but recharge was not successful. The transaction receipt of Airtel Payments bank is showing the amount is lying with the Bharti Airtel Limited ( Receiver's UP ld - [protected]@mairtel ) .

                              Post my recharge on[protected], I received the below message from AO-AIRINF regarding my transaction status with ( Order Id:[protected]. The screenshot for the same has been attached also.

                              Hi, Payment of Rs. 2999.0
                              done via Upi has been
                              processed. Order Id:
                              [protected].
                              You will receive the order
                              confirmation within 4 hrs.
                              Please keep the Order ID
                              for future reference.

                              However recharge is not done . So I connected with both Airtel Mobility team & Airtel Payments bank customer executives.

                              I raised a Service Request with Airtel Payments bank regarding the transaction status & got the response that the above transaction is successful from their end. I have attached a screenshot for the same also.

                              The Airtel Payments bank Team asked me to contact the Airtel Mobility Team regarding the recharge issues, but when I raised the queries with the Airtel Mobility team they have no clue about the transaction/payment details and no one is responding properly for the same . I have called nearly 8 - 10 times to Airtel Mobility team but they mentioned they can't do anything about it & asked repeatedly to connect with the Airtel Payments bank team only.

                              This is very much frustrating for me doing the regular follow up with both the Airtel Mobility team & Airtel Payments bank team but still my money is stuck with the Airtel . As one of the largest service providers of India I expect these issues should be resolved from your end at the earliest convenience.

                              I have attached the below screenshots for your reference :
                              1. Payments transaction status details
                              2. Message from AO-AIRINF ( Successful order Id details with UPI payment )
                              3. Service Request response from the Airtel Payments bank team

                                  When i requested porting from airtel, i got a call from airtel customer service and informed me about a special offer for Rs. 239.

                                  I also recived an sms from them stating the same. And as per thier instructions i cancelled port request and recharged for Rs.239

                                  But i got cheated and the normal offer was activated for me instead of commited offer by them through sms and call.

                                  I raised a complaint on 23 november 2022 but no response from them when i called to check status of complaint on 28 november 2022 they informed me it is closed without my knowledge.

                                  This is to be considered under cheating case and i need a reasonable compensation due to my losted time, money and service.

                                  Also i need same offer to be activated .

                                    I've ported my no. from Vodafone to airtel and i've also inserted new sim but verification call to 59059 is not connecting. every time i try to call at 59059 it shows not registered on network automatically disconnects and also i'm unable to receive incoming calls to my number. I couldn't believe how airtel is so weak in customer service.
