Is Airtel down right now?

Q: How do I block a lost or stolen Airtel SIM?

Call 198 or 121 from another Airtel number, or 9810012345 from any other phone, and ask the executive to block it after verifying you. The live chat in the Airtel Thanks app can do it too. An Airtel store blocks the old SIM and issues a new one on the same number once you show ID proof.

Recent reports & outages

18 Oct

Reported problems minor

Peaked at 2 reports in an hour on 18 Oct. Reported from Bihar.

If Airtel isn't working

Restart the connection Turn airplane mode on for 30 seconds and off again, or restart the phone, so it registers on the Airtel network afresh.
Is it data, or calls too? Check whether only data, only calls and SMS, or everything is affected, and whether it is just your locality.
Test a different network If a second SIM or Wi-Fi works at the same spot, the problem is Airtel side. Add your report so others can see the spread.
Check the plan is active An expired plan stops outgoing calls and data even when the network is fine. Check validity in the Airtel Thanks app or by dialling 121.
Check the live status above If many people in your area are reporting Airtel right now, it is a wider problem and not just you.

Other ways to access Airtel

Turn on Wi-Fi calling If you have working Wi-Fi or Airtel broadband, enabling Wi-Fi calling lets you make and take calls even when the mobile signal is weak. Do note it needs a stable Wi-Fi connection to work.
Hotspot from another SIM If you have a second SIM on another network, or someone nearby does, share its data over a hotspot until Airtel is back.
Chat in the Airtel Thanks app The app's Help and Support section has a live chat with Airtel executives, and it works over any Wi-Fi when the mobile signal is gone.
Lodge a complaint on 198 For a network fault that does not clear, call 198 free from an Airtel number to get a complaint number. The verified Airtel helpline page has the number for non-Airtel phones too.

Questions

Check the reports on this page and where they come from. Many reports from your city at once mean Airtel is facing a network issue there; with a single report, check your phone, SIM and signal first. The coverage map on airtel.in shows where its network should reach.

The reports on this page will show whether it is national or yours. A cluster of reports from one state points at a local fault rather than a countrywide one. If reports are flat, try toggling airplane mode or ask in the Help and Support chat of the Airtel Thanks app.

Airplane mode on-off karein ya phone restart karein, isse network dobara register hota hai. Network mode (5G/4G) badal kar dekhein. Agar aaspaas dusro ka bhi Airtel band hai to tower issue hai.

Then the fault is on the data side, not a full outage. Switch the preferred network type (5G or 4G) in phone settings, restart the phone, and see if other Airtel users nearby report it here.

If a second SIM or a Wi-Fi connection works fine at the same spot, the problem is Airtel side. The area-wise reports on this page confirm how wide it is.

Try toggling the network mode, or turn on Wi-Fi calling if you have Wi-Fi. If many users in your area report the same, it is a network side issue.

Call 198 or 121 from another Airtel number, or 9810012345 from any other phone, and ask the executive to block it after verifying you. The live chat in the Airtel Thanks app can do it too. An Airtel store blocks the old SIM and issues a new one on the same number once you show ID proof.

Yes. The Download button on the status card saves a server down image with Airtel's status, the time of our last check, and how many users are reporting problems.
