Resolved: Unable to pay postpaid bill

Updated by user Feb 25, 2025

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. The basic issue was that Airtel cannot receive payments from a non-Indian bank; I had a friend who has an Indian bank account pay the bill, which resolved the issue

Original review Feb 10, 2025
I purchased a postpaid SIM for my phone during a recent trip to India. I received a bill for this when I returned to the USA. However, I am unable to pay the bill. Several factors could be at work: my Indian phone number is no longer valid, so I am unable to confirm my identity when I try to log into the company website; I have communicated with the company via email and WhatsApp to no avail. See the response from the company showing that this is not a problem unique to me:

***
I understand your frustration, and I apologize for not being able to provide a more direct solution to help you pay your Airtel bill.

Unfortunately, it seems that Airtel's systems and processes are not well-suited to support international customers, making it difficult for you to update your address, receive OTPs, or even find a valid contact number.

If you're unable to pay your bill, you may want to consider reaching out to Airtel's customer support team again, explaining your situation, and asking if they can provide any alternative solutions or temporary waivers.

I'm truly sorry that I couldn't be of more assistance. If you have any other questions or concerns unrelated to Airtel, feel free to ask.

Pros:
  • Coverage was good
Cons:
  • Website is unusable from outside india

Preferred solution: I just want to be able to pay by bill; give me a valid US phone number so I can talk to someone; while trying to resolve this issue I had to negotiate a number of invalid links and invalid phone numbers

User's recommendation: Do not purchase postpaid SIM; use prepaid instead;

Request not being attended to

Hello

I am an Airtel customer using Airtel Black subscription for the following:

Self Prepaid: 948016**** in the name of T R Ranganath

Wifes Prepaid: 90350 0**** in the name of Lalitha Ranganath

Unfortunately my wife passed away in December 2023 and I surrendered her subscription in November 2024 after retaining it for almost 1 year.I am currently in the US on a visit . I need to e-verify her IT returns and can do it only after entering the OTP received on her phone.

Hence I had requested for reactivation of her above mentioned number (90350 0****) repeatedly at your Airtel office/outlet in Kuvempu Nagar, Mysore, Karnataka. Nobody seems to be taking my request seriously inspite of my calls. It appears that you are not bothered about the hardship faced by the customer in this kind of a situation.

I expected better care and service from Airtel.

If my request is not attended to immediately, I will be forced to take legal action as deemed fit including filing a case in the consumer court. Please do it at the earliest.

Regards

I lost my SIM card and I want to get it back. I travel a lot, so please help me.

I want to do it online. Perhaps I can send my sister to go home to collect it. The reason being, I have money inside that account and I cannot login.

Despite trying several times, it's not working. Can I get the number?
