Airtel Store Locations

Hi, I’m an NRI living outside India. My Indian number was a Jio prepaid SIM that I had originally ported from Airtel years ago. About 6 months ago, my wife (who lives in India) forgot to recharge it, and the number was released by Jio and returned to Airtel. When she visited the Airtel store, they told her that I can get the same number back only as a postpaid connection. What I need to know is: Once I take the postpaid connection, is there any minimum waiting period before I can port the number to another service provider? Is there a minimum waiting period before I can convert that postpaid SIM back to prepaid within Airtel? I'm travelling to india for a 2 months vacation next w...

Hi all, I stay out of india. Long story short : its been more than a month, my IR is so shiitty. 4g data works but call/sms , nope. Yesterday it worked for 30 min. I generated otp as well, then again it stopped today. One of my relatives went to the airtel store back in India, and the customer support executive said “ take sim on her behalf “ . I mean wtf? Data is clearly working so its not a sim issue. I have tried everything this ****** helpline chatbot suggests. I have also tried placing sim in different phone. I have also recharged ( normal prepaid local + IR more + IR sms rs. 98 pack + talktime 99 pack) Non of it works. Should I switch to jio? Please help.

I've been in the US for about 10 years now. I forgot to recharge my mobile number this year and unfortunately lost the number. This number is attached to all my bank accounts in India. I've asked my father to reach out to the nearest Airtel store to get this fixed. Being remote residents (in districts, instead of metropolitan), they asked us to get this resolved in Hyderabad (this being our nearest city). Fortunately, it's not assigned to anyone else. I need to get this number back at any cost. I would like to know how to reclaim my old sim number.

# If you’re an NRI living abroad (like in the US) and trying to move your Airtel eSIM from one Android phone to another, you’ve probably hit this screen: >“Contact your service provider” And when you contact Airtel support, they’ll likely tell you: >“There’s no process for that. You have to visit an Airtel store in India.” 😩 Not exactly helpful when you’re on another continent. After a lot of trial and error, I finally figured out a process that **actually works** — no Airtel store visit required, even if you’re on international roaming. # ✅ What you’ll need: * An **active Airtel eSIM** on your old phone * Your **registered email ID** linked ...

Recently I upgraded to a new iPhone, I converted my airtel physical sim to eSIM using airtel thanks I have got until verification call and my phone stuck in activating and half a day later it says couldn’t activate my physical sim is also not working in my iPhone it says converted to eSIM . But my physical sim is working if in put in my older phone I visited couple of airtel stores near my area they gave reasons like server not working and need to change to postpaid but no use. Later I changed my Jio to eSIM it was easy it converted in less than an hour. Now I need a solution to make my sim work either as physical or eSIM in my iPhone, I tried restarting, airplane mode and all. Airtel cus...

Hi all, I booked a bus ticket from Marathahalli to Mangalore for my mom, and the boarding point on the ticket says “Marathahalli, near Airtel showroom”. I’m a bit confused, is this the one opposite Kalamandir? If anyone here has taken a Mangalore/Udupi bus from Marathahalli, could you please confirm the exact spot? Even better if you could share a Google Maps location/pin of where the buses usually stop. Would be super helpful 🙏

Hello. So I got a Google pixel 9 for my dad in the UAE and now he is in India. Airtel SIM card doesn’t work on the device but the Jio sim works just fine. He went to the Airtel store and they told him that he needs to go to the Google service centre to unlock the device for Airtel, and he needs an invoice for the device. Here’s the problem, we don’t have an official invoice as the device was purchased through an unofficial channel, though authentic and proper official sealed device, hence no official invoice or purchase receipt available. What can I now do to help unlock the Airtel sim to work on the phone?

When i asked them that my 5g isn't working they replied you can convert to postpaid or get a wifi I replied then why would i recharge my phone anyway She said "Did i told you to get a prepaid" I wasn't able to record the conversation And didn't want to have a argument with a women as we know how easy it is to file a complaint againt a male in india

I am at present having prepaid Airtel Physial Sim Card. I want a eSIM for this prepaid number. I have been attempting converting physical sim to esim for almost 14 days but of no success. The Airtel Stores inform that there is a "Network Issue" only for "Prepaid Cards" and they are not aware as to when the issue will be sorted out. Are there any one facing this type of issue and the steps they have taken to convert to eSIM. I took up with Apple India for eSIMs only iPhones and they cagegorically informed that the Carrier Airtel is at fault and there are Pan India Complaints since 15 to 20 days and they are yet to be resolved by Airtel. Jio on the other hand works seemles...

About 14 years ago, I was in Bengal for my studies and bought a prepaid Airtel number. It worked fine all these years. Last month, however, my mobile suddenly stopped receiving any signal. When I contacted customer care, they informed me that the issue is due to pending KYC requirements and that I need to visit an Airtel Store to resolve it. Here’s the problem: I now live outside India, and my family is in Haryana. The Airtel Store in Haryana says they cannot process KYC for SIMs that were originally purchased in West Bengal. Can someone please suggest a solution? I am willing to give a decent treat if somebody can go to Airtel Store on my behalf.

I’m currently in Canada and my Airtel physical SIM got damaged. My wife in India managed to get a replacement SIM for me. Now I want to convert this SIM into an eSIM while I’m in Canada. When she checked with the Airtel store manager, they told her that Airtel stopped using the QR code process for eSIM activation about a year ago, so it’s not possible anymore. However, I’ve seen people mention recently that they were still able to complete the eSIM conversion using the QR code method. Can anyone confirm if Airtel’s eSIM QR code process is still working as of now? Has anyone here successfully converted their physical SIM to eSIM in the last few months? If yes, could you please sh...

Yesterday, my father recharged the wrong Airtel number by mistake. So I raised a fund transfer request through the Airtel Thanks app. It said the issue would be resolved within 5 days. I also went to the local Airtel store, and they told me that someone from customer support would call us. Later, on a Sunday, a guy actually called my dad claiming to be from Airtel customer care. That itself felt weird — customer care working on a Sunday? His caller ID showed some strange spelling like "Aìtrël Custõmër Sërvìce" on Truecaller. He told my dad that to get the refund, we had to install an app that he would send through WhatsApp. The app was called “Airtel Refund Process.” ...

Has anyone in Airtel Family plan ported out of it. I have a 699 ie 2 sim Family plan and I want to port out . I had asked thier Customer Care and they told me I have necessarily go to thier Airtel store which aren't even present in small cities . I am an office going person and I wouldn't have time to go to Airtel Store in a Working day that too something located more than 10kms from my residence that too in busy lane. The network here in Western and southern India of Airtel is **** . Can't depend on single network Provider.

I’m sharing this here out of pure frustration — hoping it saves someone else from the mess I’ve been through with **Airtel Xstream Fiber**. ### What Happened: On **June 20**, I applied for a new Airtel fiber connection through one of their official agents. He visited my place, confirmed feasibility, took my documents and **full payment**. Everything seemed fine until the installation day. The next day, the technician came and refused to install it. The reason? > “You already had an Airtel AirFiber connection earlier, so you can’t get another Airtel connection now — not even if it’s canceled.” I thought he was joking. I had already requested cancellation of my old ...
