Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I have been using airtel's prepaid number *598 for the last 5 years. For the last 5 months i was not using this number since i had to travel frequently out of country, but i made it sure that the sim is in working position. After some days sim didnt work, it displayed "sim card registration failed". I thought that my sim card must have become faulty since i had not used it for months. So i call to airtel's customer care to get a duplicate sim card. There airtel's representative told me your no status is active and says me' go to the nearest airtel office and give your id there and we will issue new sim card for the same your old number. That the number has been disconnected and has been installed on some new sim card, hence i cannot get this number back. Today my sim number is issue for other person. The reason they gave me is that "you've not received any incoming or outgoing call in the last 3 months, so it got disconnected". I 've this number on my visiting cards/i card/atm/irctc web site and lots. More than 1000people/clients have this number. I feel completely devastated. I need this number back at any cost. How can airtel disconnect this connection without any notice? Even if i was not using this sim card they do have our e-mail id, residential address, alternate number. Cant they even sent one notification? I feel really cheated. How can i get my number back? Please help

Sir,
It has been a horrible experiences o[censored]sing your sim for the last few months. I have been not able to use the data at all in my phone. If you provide me the data for five minutes for the next five hours you disconnect it. I suppose to use 1gb data per day and i am unable to use even 10 mb data per day due to no connection.
Therefore i request u to sort out the problems as early as possible, because it affects my studies very badly
And if you can't rectify my problems with regard to your sim i may have to the higher authorities.

Airtel postpaid provided free promotional data of 2 gb for three months. According to the airtel's data carry forward policy, it was carry forwarded to the next month. I recieved several mesaages stating the same and the myairtel app showed the same status. After the end of the cycle, i, was charged a hefty sum for the usage of that free carr forwarded data. Approaching customer care is like talking to a wall. Their method of functioning is very opaque and they don't disclose any details. For that matter, i'm still trying to talk to an accountable person. But i will not shy away from dragging airtel postpaid to consumer court, trai, or state court for that matter. So if any airtel exec reads this, please be advised. Resolve this with dignity, or lose face.

Hello sir, i tried too many times to deactivate my account. Multiple times i email at [protected]@airtelbank.... Please please deactivate my account. I am facing too many problems due to this. I also contacted to the airtel customer care located at zhopadi canteen in ahmednagar. They told me to contact customer care executive at 400. When dialing 400 number there is no option to deactivate this account. I also tried to search option in aitel payment bank application. There is also no option available. Please help me to deactivate my account - [protected].
Thank you very much

Sir, the mobile number which i have was non functioning when i tried to make a call on 7th september, on visit to your nolambur airtel office they told me that it is registered in name of someone else from kanchipuram. I have submitted my personnel details to airtel office annanagar, 3rd avenue, when i visited that office.
I informed your office in nolambur about this issue. I was told to go and verify in that office. This office i found does not function now. I want to know why and how it is registered in someone else's name. What has happened to all our old documents which we submit to your office on our visits.

Dear team airtel secure,
Most respectfully i would like to share my experience with your team.
I had purchased a insurance for my phone, samsung j7 prime from airtel secure, and incidentally when i was at my office my handset fall from the table and a little spot came on the edge (As you can see in the picture attached) but the handset was perfectly in working condition and touch was working, i was not willing to claim for insurance initially but on my friend advice i submitted the documents on airtel app, i had mentioned my true story of the incident that happened along with the pictures of the handset. After one week of submitting the claim i got the confirmation from airtel secure that the claim is accepted and there agent would come to pick the handset with in 20 days, but the agent didn't appear even after 25 days and when i complaint again they send there agent on the 28th day ie. 8-aug-2017 and took my hand set.
I was waiting for my handset back, one fine day on 17th aug i got a message from airtel secure that your has been rejected, i was literally socked and called the customer service but they failed to give any information about it and asked me to wait till further notice, i had made numerous calls to customer service in the next four days but got the same answer that there is no information regarding rejection and at the end i got a message that my handset has been dispatched.
Finally on 23rd august i received a courier at my office, i was not at my office at that time so the office boy received it and when i opened the box there is one more shock waiting for me, the display of my hand set was fully broken and when i tried to switch it on i failed to do so.
I visited the airtel store and booked my complaint and also typed a mail to customer service but failed to get any response. Even after one week they are asking me to wait.
Hope you would provide some solution to my problem.
Thanks!!

Hi, i have raise a broad band request and paid the amount 700 to agent on january 15 2017. As the broad band service was not feasible in my area for broadband connection i requested them to refund my amount. I am following this issue with customer care and then submit complain. But haven't got any response. I am also requesting to all the other users who are thinking to buy airtel broadband or 4g service (3g service is not good near mp nagar bhopal than why 4g) to not to buy any services from airtel and not to pay for new broadband connection as you will not get any refund amount after paying it. Regards,

On 5th of september i have ported from airtel karnataka to airtel telangana. There was a balance of ₹202 in the previous sim as per airtel office chikkadpalli hyderabad the bal will be transfered to nrw sim within 48hours. This is not done multiple complaints to airtel customer care falls on deaf ear
Pl see that my bal get transferred at the earliest

I submitted docs and followed process told by airtel to change my two postpaid no [protected] and [protected] to prepaid on 29th aug 2017 but no action taken since then. Each time customer care gave different excuses for this without intimating me. This is lack of service to a customer.in such a case a telecommunication co. Can reject my request again and again without giving feedback or sufficient reason. Kindly give all companies a guideline in this regard to save a customer from mental harassment.

There is a serious problem of 3g and 4g data. Phone network is also not available. Please kindly solve this as soon as possible. This is the 3rd time m complaining but there was no response from airtel. So please consider this. Always there is call drop issue, data is just like nothing in my location. There is a site in laxmisagar but still we are facing alot problem.

Since last 2 months bill genaration getting delay, usually my bill will be genarated on evey month 7th.
Last month when i contact customer care executive for almost 5-6 time to get my bill.
Thats why i went to migrate to prepaid, there also when ever i asked "it will take 24 more hours sir" they replied. I submitted my documents for migration on 22nd august.
My postpaid numbers are
[protected] & [protected]

After repeated reminders from airtel, yesterday in the early hours of morning 10.45 am, i went to local centre of airtel near fire brigade office at solan h. P. After walking on foot for three kilometers from my residence,
When i asked the lady at local outlet of airtel, told me to come again on monday as "the system was locked".
I was shocked to hear this as i am working in sbi, and can not find a time to visit that centre again and again for the same task.
This was not an attitude of a mobile outlet when there are so many other mobile operators to provide much better customer service, i have seen that private operators advertise their better customer care, but this incident shows that their attitude towards customer service is not better than govt. Agencies.

Though i am having data balance available in my account but i am surprised that my main account balange got deducted.
However airtel is making the advertisement that it is having the best network but for me although data is on still unable to surf sometimes.
I think the tag line should be like making people fool.

Dear service team,

Hi, this is ashraf having prepaid connection no [protected]. I lost my mobile, i want to request the airtel team to please block this sim card. Please block this immediately and some one are using this sim so please fix this as soon as possible.
If any further process is there to issue the duplicate sim card, pl. Let me know.

Thanks
Ashraf
