Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear consumer compliants,

It is very sad on the part that i being a prestigious postpaid customer jammu kashmir ([protected]) for last 10+ years, i am being deceived by airtel.
​
For last few months i am being given free data of around 30 gb monthly and then forward the balance to the next month​ and i was very much satisfied with airtel and i discontinued my jio number and i decided to use airtel for data as well as calling use.

The this month due to your technical errors i was not able to receive the bill on time, i being honest with airtel, i called them i inquired about the bill and airtel suggested me to wait for few days.

Today i checked my bill and i was surprised to see that i being being charged with rs 500/= for the data use... Which was given free to me.

How would i pay this amount and why would i pay for free data??
I am not going to pay this data use charges. I requested them please reverse these charges.
​ in today world rs 150/= are enough to make unlimited calls and use 1gb 4g internet per day for one month. And inspite of this i usually pay you rs 350/= for just local calling​

I also wrote to them that if this behavior continues, i will close down all my postpaids as well as prepaids of airtel and will switch to jio.

I request you indian consumer complaints forum to make them remind of this data charging and reverse the amount and send me the final bill for the month. I will never ever use this postpaid net for anything. If they give me free... This is totak fake free

Hello cheaters why are you people are activating those useless services in my number without my knowledge. You people are stealing my recharge balance in this month you charged total 110 rs from my main balance. And i was trying to contact customer care but after holding for 4minitues my call is disconnecting poor customer service. So re credit to my balance as soon as possible. If the problem exist i will change my network to jio

Today i recharged for 1 year subscription of rs.5801 (Infinity hd pack) with airtel digital tv. But the validity was showing until nov 19, 2018 instead of nov24, 2018.
When i contacted customerservice i was transferred to 2 different people and landed with the floor supervisor, i was told that validity will be only for 360 days and not 365 days. When i asked him to take up a complaint on my name for this issue, he refused saying its not a complaint and he wont take it.

1. Why does airtel cheat the customers by saying 1 year subscription and reducing 5 days in it? Where in the world do we have 360 days for 1 year?
2. How can the customer service agent refuse to take up a customer's complaint?

I would like my 1 year subscription to be given for 365 days.

I called the customer care to stop one of my packages and the guy did so. Then, i wanted to ask him about some other information but incessantly said that 'thank you for calling airtel, have a nice day!'. I told him repeatedly that i wanted further information but he was rude and acted like he was doing a favor to me by talking to me. This was the last nail in the coffin for your customer care behaviour. I'll disconnect my connection as soon as my current validity expires. Your customer care sucks! Absolutely pathetic services! My id mobile number is ([protected])

I have switched my network to airtel. Since from yesterday night i can airtel bars in mobile but no services are activated. I dont have any other number. My ported airtel number is [protected]. I tried to call 59059 for tele verification too but it is connecting to some hello tunes. Airtel is really irritating customers in the intial stage only. Please help me to resolve as soon as possible consider urgency and if any inputs you can contact my friend contact number [protected].

A positive attitude

Activation delay of new postpaid connection, due to poor service. Irrespective of positive verification and submission of all relevant documents, airtel fails to activate new connection within time. Several follow up with airtel customer care representative in vain. Airtel failed to provide connection even after a week. Highly disappointed with service. Complaint ref no provided by airtel customer care representative doesn't show any records in airtel website.

I have linked my aadhar number to my airtel mobile number, but later on found that they have open my airtel bank payment account without my consent and permission. Further they have activated my direct benefit scheme also. When they have not been given the permission. I have called and written to customer care, but poor response. They are asking me to submit the details of my aadhar card, to de-activate the account. My question is while opening the account you have not asked any question, paper or sought any permission, wheras to deactivate the account, now you are asking all such documents. Is it fair. Secondly the customer care don't call to us also to rectify their mistakes.

Dear sir/madam,
I have a post paid connection which no is [protected], i had paid monthly bill amounting to 1800.00 on 15.11.2017 (One day later of due date) by state bank debit card. Unfortunately air tell denied to acknowledge of paid amount and disconnect my connection. Though i have written and verbally requested them several times.in this regard i want justice. Please look into this matter urgently and do need full. I need also compensation for harashment from air tel last seven days.
Looking forward for your kind cooperation.

Dear sir/ ma¿am,

This is in relation to my last bill cycle, due on 14th november, 2017, amounting to rs 1782.87. I had made a payment of rs1800 on 15th november, 17 (My bank statement shows payment credited to air tel), using my debit card, online, clearly putting in my number correctly.in spite of this i have been receiving reminders to make the payment form your end. My bank statement clearly shows that the amount has been deducted from my account, which i¿m attaching below. It is extremely unfortunate that i have to face this despite having made my payment on time. I strongly believe that you will look into this matter and resolve the same as soon as possible. I have communicated the same to one of your customer care official-suman mukherjee.

Looking forward to your promt response.

Thank you

I recharged with rs. 899 on 26 oct 2017 and the recharge benefits were unlimited local & std calls with 2.5 gb data per day for 84 days. From today morning my calls and internet usage are getting charged. I approached to the airtel store at sector 5, salt lake. The representative was unable to tell me the exact reason, she was telling some terms and conditions which i challenged and she called a person over phone for details. Finally she told me that she will call me after getting the details within 7 pm today. As expected, i did not receive the call today. Attached is the ticket i had today in the airtel store. I would like to know what went wrong, what are the exact terms and conditions for my recharge of rs. 899 on 26 oct 2017.
I was in roaming for 1 week and often i used to get a message that outgoing was stopped that time, not always though.

Please let me also know the next level of escalation if i don't get a satisfactory response.

I have raised a request to disconnect the broadband internet connection ([protected]) on last week of september 2017. The call center person has confirmed the disconnection request and asked to pay the final outstanding of the usage till date. Which i have paid within the said period.
My expectation was the connection is disconnected and the same confirmation i have received from airtel executive.
Now, they have generated the bill for the month of october 2017 and everyday calling to pay the outstanding bill of november, which is really baseless.
Please look into this asap and try to maintain better name in market...

[protected] was my number which was long back suspended by airtel and even after that, airtel raised false invoices. But that's what airtel does with customers. I got a call from a lady yesterday from airtel who said she was calling from bandra court and asked for settlement. Then your lawyer helped me for online payment. Anyway i am not interested to discuss about your unethical tactics for payment recovery. I just want to know when will...

I have made payment for my 2 airtel phone numbers on 14th november 2017 for which the due date was 22nd november 2017. Payment was made from my cc to airtel money and from airtel money to pay my bills from airtel app.

Amount got deducted from my cc and was reflecting in airtel money on 14th november. Same day amount got credited from my airtel money for 1104 rs for bills payment.

Concerns: amount is still not...

I narayan mondal, an costumer of airtel mobile service having a complain regarding illegally deduction of an amount of rs. 35 on 24/11/2017 at 2:52pm on account of activation of tiny tv service an rs. 75 towards activation of 'what's mobile service ' on 24/11/17 at 3:04 am.
In this reguard it is mention that i am the only user of this no. [protected] and i have not activated except hellotune. This amount which you have charged is totally illegal. You are requested to refund the amount.

My airtel 4g network automatically changing to 3g network and 3g to 2g and sometimes no network at all. From last 10 day iam facing this problem at home... What is the solution of this problem plz reply fast.... Previously also i faced this issue but after sometimes it's resolved, now again i m facing network issue.. Plz solve this problem or else i have to change the network...

Dear sir,
This is to inform you that my old sim card show rejected in my mobile so i am purchase new sim to airtel prepaid for same number. But after 2 days network bars not shown in mobile. When calling on that number says this number is not in service. So request you to please resolve this problem as soon as possible.
Number is - [protected].

Thanking you

I am not using the aitel sim last 90 days it is not valid so i mail to airtel customer care and also. That number is [protected]. I submit details to my nearest office for same number before 9days but that number is given to another person before 3days now that number is very personal to me how to get the same number now. Please help me to solve this problem

Hi have called the Cust Care got some fixes but nothing seems to increase the internet speed pr the call drops. it is the same for my number and also others in my organisation. Almost all using airtel number are facing network issue and 4g is not even giving us 1mbps speed. I have over 90gb of pending data and unable to use any since a month now. it is so slow and inconvenient that I can't even browse the net or make online payments. Customer care is only giving excuses and making us go about in circles. I am posting this complaint on behalf of all Airtel users. We need to get proper service for the bucks we pay. This is equivalent to scamming people.

I have tried to change my airtel postpaid plan for like 5 times still it hasn't changed. I event went to airtel store and they told me that my plan has been changed and it will be applied from when this billing cycle ends but it hasn't changed yet. Now I have 40 GB data still they are producing a bill of 955 Rs. which never goes up above 400 Rs. and from 955 Rs they have applied 500 Rs internet charges even when I have a balance of 40 GB data in my account. Their customer service is worst in the world. Their executives are so clueless, you ask them something and they tell you something else. For each and every issue they only say it is in process and it will be resolved in 4 hours. and Like it wasn't enough their network sucks.

Hi
I would like to register complaint regarding airtel postpaid connections that the consumers are not informed if new cheaper plans with same facility are introduced. The customer care executives report that we can cannot register such complaint. Also these companies spam you with messages which are not relevant but are not informing about consumer benefiting informations.

Recent scenarios i faced where i am a customer of airtel for past 4 years. I recently found out that the postpaid plan i am using is of rs 549 and they have introduced two plans of rs 399, rs 499 which are providing more services than mine and i have not been updated. So as a result they are charging me around rs150 extra for less services.

Also i was informed by customer care to use there app which also does not work properly and is under maintenance most of the time.

I believe the consumer has the right to be informed of such new plans to upgrade and take benefit via sms/one to one communications.
