Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I am prepaid user of airtel.

I have done a prepaid recharge of rs: 249 rs for my mobile number

As per the site recharge description, it was mentioend that :unlimited local+std calls along with 8gb 4g/3g/2g data for 28 days."

But after my recharge i was charged for the landline which i have called from my main balance. It was never mentioned in the plan details that the charge will applied in case landline is called.

When i called the customer care they informed me tha the plan is like that.
Bu this is never indcated in the site where the plan details are mentioned. This is kind of cheating the customer after the recharge is done.

Airetl is still looting people even after jio (I am not a promter though) coming into the picture

I am having very bad Calling problem at my home . I have been trying to complain regarding this to airtel many times, But i m not getting proper response from Coustomer care airtel.They r just closing complaints by showing any type of Solutions. I did not expect this from Airtel.So plzz take this problem as proper attention or make me call to main office of airtel. Plzz make sure i m not forced to change operator. Thanks

I request you to kindly disconnect my broadband landline no.[protected] standing in the name of a. Kaleesver with immediate effectg

I have filed a complaint with the airtel store for replacement of[protected]. Airtel telecom store has received 100 rupees for any receipt and has been contacted by airtel telecom for the first time to get the sim card activated. To call back krna. Store, there is no action against liar. Mai the airtel company does not satisfy it. I do not know any type of customer from the market.

Sir i wished to link my adhaar card with my mobile no.[protected]. I sent a xerox copy of my adhaar card together with the original for verification at the airtel outlet at burdwan road, alipore, kolkata 700027 at 12 noon on 7th august 2017. I am 76years old lady. Your agent at the outlet refused to accept the copy and demanded that i go there personally to "give my finger prints". Even nationalised banks accept self certified xerox copies sent by mail or through representatives. Is this how bharti airtel deals with its customers?

I have lost my phone today along with sim card.
So i had taken new sim card in near airtel store and told that it would get activated within 4 hours. It's already been 48 hours but the sim card is not yet active. I am not sure whether these guys take responsibility of a customer.
Even after following up so many times, they don't care to reply to my emails. This is the worst customer support i have ever seen.
I don't know what their managers are doing and their responsibilities. I am done with this careless service.

I have an airtel broadband / landline installed at my residence for the last 10 years. The bill plan for this has been the same for a decade. I never got that changed.in the month of may 17, airtel offered me free 10 gb of data, which i accepted. This was start of series of troubles. The bill sent to me for the usage of may-june bill cycle has additional cost of the "free" data offered to me. The airtel billing system has completely gone bonkers. I received sms alert from airtel on the 13th of june stating that i have consumed 92% of the allocated 10 gb data. My billing cycle is from 17th - 16th of a month. I promptly stopped using the data on the said connection. The bill i received on the 17th of june had more surprises. It shows total 2.9 gb of data been utilized in the month (Which is wrong, i used 9.2 gb) and the charges on the reported 2.9 gb data are rs 2, 548/- + taxes. I fail to understand that the itemized billing has some cooked up data utilization of each day during the month summing up to 2.9 gb.. I have messages from airtel telling me that i have used 92% of the data of a free quota of 10gb (I have sms evidence of the same) till the 13th june 17. I have tried to interact with the airtel appellate but they are adamant and insisting upon claiming their bill to be absolutely correct and after receiving 2-3 calls each day for payment from airtel, yesterday i have also received "final notice" for payment for the concocted bill. I am again making an effort to reach out to airtel through this medium before taking this to the legal forum. I have always paid my bills in time and this time i am not going to pay for the concocted bill of airtel, even if it calls for long drawn legal battle.

Dear service team,

Hi, this is mr. Shaik khaza from ventrapragada having airtel prepaid connection no. 0091-[protected]. I lost my sim card, hence, i want to request the airtel team to please block this sim card asap.

Please guide me through the process of issuing a duplicate prepaid sim card. I expect a quick solution to my problem with further knowledge of the procedure.

Thanks,

One fine day your sim card got deactivated for no reason. When i checked with the local store they said it could be a sim fault (In a lethargic way). I asked them the procedures but they denied to help me out since the sim was under my wife name. Hence i gave my marriage certificate since my wife is in hospital for delivery. However, this sim has access to all my bank accounts and office vpn. Then a gentlemen helped me with a new sim to activate. Again that failed and did not get activated. Hence i traveled home town and got all my wife details and bought a new sim and it got activated within 24 hours. But there is no text messages received when an otp is generated. I called to the customer care today and asked for it. But they refused to help me. That too the agent rajeshwari was so rude to put me on mute and shout at me and then without asking my permission she threw-ed me into the hold ports. Then again i heard another person muthuraj who did even listen to me and kept on saying i understand i understand i really don't understand what the hell he understood rather then saying he cant help me. No i am not able to login to my vpn, not able to pay my bills, not able to purchase anything for my baby etc etc... Airtel service sucks.. How will a alien know about my countrymen.

I got the call from airtel cc (Customer care) to get the new modem and cc informed you will get 40 mbps speed (They did not inform about the speed will differ as per distance). I agreed to take a new connection. They installed a new modem, after being asked about the speed they informed that you will not the 40mbps speed as the main device (Which distribute the internet in the area) is installed far from your house it will not give you 40 mbps speed. If your home would have been near to the main device then you would have got, as they said. They said you will get the 16 mbps speed. The first day it did not work and it took me 2 days to get it fixed.in bangalore and being a software engineer i have suffered like anything for those two days. After escalating this issue they came up with some discount offer me. And promise you will get the 16mbps speed. After few days i start facing issue related to speed when i raised the complaint about it then they said you will not get 100% full speed. Now things are worst i was getting 2-4 mbps on 29 july 2017. I have registered complaints but did not resolved, to they called and said issue rectified and when i checked it’s again 6.6 mbps speed is coming. I am struggling since july first week and have not got any solution.

I have given complaint many times, i am paying bills on time. Please, do the needful.
I have attached screen shots of 29 july and todays date as well.

Hi,
I am Shamim, today I.e.7 Aug 2017, I recharged my family phone (airtel bihar no.[protected]) with 148 for unlimited airtel to airtel local and std calls. The money got deducted but no call facility was given. Please resolve it on priority basis keeping in mind the perception that Airtel is looter.
Thanks,

Respected sir/mam,
I already requested through call centre 121 two times to disconnect my bb connection in last month & customer care executive assured to disconnect. Even then, bill is came for this month also. Kindly disconnect my connection & relieve me from this torture. I can't pay money for this month. Already last month vacated flat.

I got myself registered for the airtel secure plan after they advertised it so much in the t. V.
They claim to provide accidental damage protection.
Now my claim was rejected because they say the insuree was not careful enough.
Now if a person by mistake sits on his phone which was on bed, why isn't it being considered as an accident.
I will suggest people to be careful of this scam of insurance.

I was using airtel prepaid number [protected] for long time. Few months before i took that sim to abroad to receive sms from india. Unfortunately, i forget to keep it in network for about 2 weeks and then while trying to use the sim, i could not connect and saying not in service. Many times i have visited the service center. Since, this number was in bsnl chennai and then i have switched to airtel, they told that, this number will go back to bsnl. But bsnl said they did not receive this number in their list and hence with airtel only. While i tried to contact i am receiving the orator message as "this airtel number not in service." i would like to get my number reactivated to use. Hence, i request you to extend your help to reactivate the airtel number [protected] at the earliest please.

I recharged for 658 pack which says that local and std calls are free with 1.5 gb free data. They have not mentioned that it will not work on roaming in portal and when i called and asked them to cancel the pack within 30min from the time of activation, since that is not working on roaming, they have denied to cancel the came. They are not willing to change the pack for the worth of that amount.

I am using this postpaid 4g lte dongle from last 2 years but from almost 3 - 4 months, i am facing the network issue. The dongle will connect for 10 - 15 mins and then it will be disconnected and i have to reconnect multiple time. I have complaint multiple time but every time they have guided me to reset my dongle, id, and password which worked only for 1 days then again the same issue.
The current ticket no. Is 78073665 which created...

I was suddenly deducted an amount from my mobile on account of hotspots without my knowledge or wish .kindly refund me the deducted amount as soon as possible as this kind of illegal deduction without the customers will is unexpected from a company like airtel.

I have a 3g supporting handset.. On 4 july i called to cus. Care n ask him about 399 rs pack. I ask him that in 399 rs company gives 3g/4g data/p. D for 70 days and unlimited calling in india anywhere and i have a 3g handset so the 3g internet will do in my handset or not?
Customer care replied me that net and calling both will work in your handset but the speed of internet will be 3g.
After recharging of 399rs the internet didn't work in my phone and calling work only one month. The company making public fool by saying wrong information... What is this?

I'm pooja faterpekar from valpoi goa. I'm not having proper range for airtel sim card here..
