Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My name is Misbah Sayed & my airtel mobile # is[protected]. I am constantly being charged for accessing 0.facebook.com via Airtel Live as the access point.

I understand that Airtel had announced that m.facebook.com will be free for 2 months and that duratiom is up; but 0.facebook.com is a text based version of facebook which is advertised as free for lifetime via Airtel Live for Airtel users.

Why is airtel advertising false information on 0.facebook.com as on the top it says free access via Airtel Live!!?? I call customer care every month about this but I never get a resolution. Hell, they even refuse to give credits for as low as 5 rs or 10 rs. Its not a matter of money but its a matter of business ethics.

Today was worse...I called up Airtel complaints helpline, 198 & spoke to a guy named Prashant (@3:38 am on 18/01/2011) who blatantly refused to entertain my query sayin charges valid hai..kuch nahi hoga. I asked him for the total amount of charges incurred. He gave me a break-up & I again asked him for the total...he gets back to me sayin, break-up diya hai...calculate kar lena....& just hung up on me!! This is Airtel caring for its customers. I tried calling complaints back but looks like they put a block on your number or something because the call doesn't get connected for the second time if they get an irate customer.

I have lost all faith in Airtel but if this matter will be looked into, I need Airtel to bring Prashant to task for his extremely "PROFESSIONAL" behaviour & also stop giving false promises or advertising to customers. If you guys are incompetent of doing something, don't brag & publicize about it.

Guess I'm expecting too much from Airtel. Trust me, if this goes on....i think i've already made my mind to port-out my number from Airtel once MNP goes live on 20th Jan 2011 even though I'd hate it coz i've been with Airtel since I was in school & i've had this number without any issues in the past.

Hi,

I applied for airtel broadband then executive has come. He was team leader for airtel. He was insisting me to take MTS but I was not agreed then he said in your area we dont have service..I dont go with MTS then after 2 weeks again he made a call & said I am sending my executive please give him all the documents & Money. I gave. Executive said within three days you will get the connection but one week over now no body is picking the phone & not get any response. still m waiting for connection.even from airtel customer care also not responding in proper way...Now i am feeling really I applied for a connection with a company.

I was using the Airtel Number (+91)[protected], and I was regularly paying their bill. Today I have received a call from their side about the payment of the bill from (+91)[protected], some and Miss behaving lady. She was using a such an abusing language and she in turn called my wife and said i was cheating with her by calling other gals. This is really disappointing for me and it has impacted my personal life.
She wants me to get the bill settle with 1000 Rs. and she wants me to make a payment without any delay, and then i got agree to make a payment of wrong bill just to come out of this problem but then i have asked them for the written communication through mail or a sms with full and final settlement from them. After that she has changed her colors by saying, She will not going to send any mail, and she said i will confirm after receiving 1000 Rs. and then i refused for the payment without any mail confirmation from them.
And Again in turn she has started calling all my friends and colleagues by using wrong name and spoiling my image by using the wrong name of some Gal.
Please do the needful as I am ready to make a payment but with some proof from them for full and final settlement with 1000 Rs.

Dear Sir,
I m using airtel services , airtel number is : [protected]. On 12th jan. i recharged my cell with 41 rs. Before recharge i confirmed from airtel customer care executives more than once abt 41 recharge benefit. They all told me that u will get reduce ISD call rate and full talktime (10rs on the spot & rest 31 within 48hrs). But i didn't get my remaining 31rs. Regarding this i complained via mail on 14th jan. Today i got the respone of that mail, it was that u will not get 31rs.
I m not satisfied with this, as one side airtel's more than one customer care executives told me that u will definately get full balance (when i asked them before recharge). And other side airtel guys deny it. ITS A FRAUD... Either they have to give us proper information or follow the given one.
It is unethical..

I m frustrated a lot from this act. And will not suggest anyone to use airtel.

Do needful action .......

My contact no is : [protected]

I was using AIRTEL DTH for 2 months customer ID [protected] I didnt like the annoying red/white airtel logo on my TV screen... Why should I keep the annoying ugly airtel logo when I have to pay for the service already... I wanted to do something to stop this... So I called technical support they said we cant stop this OK then STOP your service thats what I said... People should realize why should we adjust and keep things like this if we already pay a lot for the subscription... If 10 people stop the subscription they will stop this ugly annoying logo on your screen... All they need is customer -"You"... thanks - Vijay

Whenever i tried to complain regarding sim card lost of airtel,the customer care always busy as urgent steps has to be taken instead.Lost simcard can be used by any other illegal person,as we know that these days can blame to anyone,thus i dont wan to occure.
Now,I have lost again post paid sim of the same that has to suddenly complain to the customer care but doing the same is such an unconditional.

I have purchased 3G usb modem from Airtel relationship center recently.
I have invested Rs. 2100/- For 3G modem
& around 400 for unlimated recharge card.
I have been told that you will get speed around 256 kbps. and after lounch 3g you will gate 3.5 mbps
But now I am getting speed which is shown by modem is:-
maximum-56 to 92kbps (Few minutes in hours o[censored]se)
Minimum- 0 to 12kbps (maximum time of the day)
Average- 6kbps (the average speed after use for a hour)
I advise you not to choose airtel at any cost.
Anyway i am going to stop using. airtel not having customer complaint portal, no toll free no. they charge for technical help, mis guide to customer

I am being harassed by Airtel Friendz Chat with unwanted messages. Today I have received an SMS saying this service has been renewed with a charge of Rs.30. I am not interested in this crap nonsense, and would request that necessary action be taken with Airtel to have this amount re-credited to my prepaid account, and that this unwanted messages be stopped permanently. My phone number is [protected].

I have purchased one Airtel Digital TV on 25th October 2010. During the time of time the sales person has committed that 7 months free subscription and free sports channels for the same months for Rs1590/-. But every month we are facing the problem, due to disconnection the dish. Even we have called the sale representative and we have told that there is no response from them. Airtel is the no1 cheater in this field. I suggest others, kindly never buy this digital tv.

I HAVE PURCHASE A AIRTEL HD CONNECTION IN NOV,2010 AND HAVE MADE ALMOST 16 COMPLAINTS IN 3 MONTHS FOR POOR SIGNAL QUALITY, VIDEO PROBLEMS ETC. AND EVERY TIME THEIR ENGINEERS SORT OF TECHNICIANS VISITED THE PREMISES BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AND WITH 2-1/2 MONTHS MY SET TOP BOX WAS FAILED TO OPERATE. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE SAME BUT OVER AND ABOVE 48 HOURS THEY FAILED TO ACTIVATE MY SERVICES AGAIN TILL 15TH JANUARY, 2010 UPTO 4.29 PM, THEIR CUSTOMER CARE AND THE ENTIRE AIRTEL DIGITAL SERVICE IS A WORST SERVICE PROVIDER IN THE COUNTRY AS COMPARED TO TATASKY, VIDEOCON D2H WHICH I HAVE USED. MY CUSTOMER ID [protected]

Hi,

This is to inform everyone about the experience I had yesterday with the customer care executive on 198 service of Airtel.
I called up the 198 no.to register a complaint regarding a tariff voucher that was not working.The executive first told me that his computer was not working and then he started to ask me personal questions as to what do i do or in which class i was studying .I gave the phone to my mother and he said that my mom's voice was not good and that i should take the call.He was such a .When I shouted at him he disconnected the phone and now when i try to connect to 198 it throws me out of the IVR.

I want to ask is this kind of customer care service Airtel is providing to girls ? Are they not safe when they call to customer care? I have woked with international companies where each call was monitored, and see here a company like airtel doesn't even bother to have the guilty punished.

An airtel consumer.

Sir my airtel prepaid connection number is [protected].This number has been used by my Uncle (wife`s father).He is aged about 75.For the past two months airtel has deducted Rs.30 each for the following services 1.airtel theatre,2.cricket 3.lovelove5.Monthly Rs.90 has been deducted unauthorisedly by airtel.I have verified with other airtel customers also,in every customer`s account airtel is deducting amount for one or two services as though it was provided.For any service airtel should get the consent of the customers with writings or by more than two clicks.How it is possible for a aged man to subscribe the service called LOVE 5 ?.Never ,it is airtel by using varied methods for deducting money from the account.So i am asking airtel to repay the amount deducted from the number [protected]
