Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I recently got a 4g sim replacement for my mobile number [protected] and since then i am unable to send or receive sms. Also the ussd service *121# gives error every time i tried using that. I tried calling their customer care however it seemed there is nobody to attend my call as i was made to listen to recorded advertisements for 5 minutes after which i hung up. I was charged 50p for that. Now that i can't receive any messages i am unable to complete any online transactions that require otp through sms as this is my primary number.

Please have this addressed at the earliest

I recharged my internet with special offer of Rs 244 on 21 May 2017 on [protected] with validity of 70 days. And now on 6 july it is showing that there is no data balance left.
None of the complaints no mentioned in Airtel official website are working.
I request you to kindly solve my problem as soon as possible.

Dear Sir,
This is to raise a complaint against the Accidental insurance for Mobile phone provided by Airtel (product name - Airtel Secure) with the Third party One Secure and Insurance provider National Insurance.
I had enrolled for the Airtel Secure plan with my mobile services provider Airtel for a monthly payment of Rs. 49 toward the accidental damage coverage of my cell phone (please see details attached for the claim.

The Airtel Secure customer service called me in order to set up an appointment shortly and collected my phone 3 weeks back. 2 days later I received a call from Airtel Secure that the mobile had been given to the service center and an amount of Rs. 4500 was the servicing amount for the broken screen.

After another week Airtel Secure sent me an email stating that the claim had been refused by the insurer (National Insurance) due to "Improper Handling"

The breakage of the mobile had happened due to a fall from a stationary car inside the garage of my house. This was explained in my claim form as well as in my subsequent conversation with the claim Appraiser or the MIS department of the Insurance/One Assist.

I understand that you are the correct authority to write to for such malafide practice by Airtel Secure in collusion with One Assist and National Insurance.

Please let me know of the next steps for a formal complaint procedure.

Please note that One assist / Airtel Secure has retained the phone with themselves for almost 3 weeks with no assistance provided.

Regards,
Kamakhaya Prasad Bhattacharyya

[protected]- june 6th to 27th june, i didnt got any services, after paying minimum amount. Also at the time of payment I asked at airtel store, will u charge for call barring period, they replied no charge. Now I contacted customer care they told me that barring period also will be charged. His name is suresh. He didnt told me even superior name also not connected to his boss even though im asked. On before june 6th im played 400, at that time, customer care executive told me late payment fee will be reduced. But no reduction. Also calls barred. Im really unsatisfied with Airtel, I came to airtel from Airtel but very bad experiences from Airtel, really very very bad and waste Airtel

Sir, all airtel retailer in banapur, Odisha, pin-752031 charging 30 rupees for aadhar link with simcard.but airtel sms the same thing (aadhar link with simcard) for free. So please advise the retailer in banapur to not charge your customers. This is totally cheating with the customers. People have faith on airtel, and 60 % people use airtel as a faith brand. But it's shame that airtel retailers looted people. Please fix this issue. From 6 year old customer of airtel. Thanks

Sir I have facing problem in sending SMS, from last six months. I am not able to send SMS. My outgoing message service is not working. I have talked many times at customer care. I have done all the things they told me, like message center number correction, etc. Even I have changed my Sim after your executive suggestion. But sir still I am not able to send SMS. Please make it correct. It's very harassing for me. My airtel mobile number is [protected].

Hello Airtel,

I have recharged my mobile through the Union Bank of India mobile app on 4th July, 2017 at 19:18hrs. The recharge seems to be still in progress when the recharge status on the bank app is checked. Also, the amount is debited from my bank account. There is no option in Airtel customer care IVR menu to talk to the customer service executive and also in order to check the status of the recharge done. I think this is ridiculous. The following are the details of the recharge:

Mobile no. : [protected]
Transaction ID :[protected]
Amount : Rs. 349/-
Bank : Union Bank of India
Branch : Gayatri Nagar, Hyderabad
IFSC : UBIN0561029
Account Holder's Name : Sravya Bandhakavi

I expect you to consider my request and take suitable action or credit back the amount to my bank account asap.

Yours,
Sravya Bandhakavi

Hi,

I had been using an Prepaid Airtel Number for more than 6 years. I have come out of the country for last 4 months, because of no usage my mobile number has been deactivated. There was no clear notification/intimation on when and why my number will be deactivated. Need some help to activate the number from abroad as Airtel customer care says its not Possible.

I am a prepaid mobile phone user with Airtel from over 2 years now.
I recharged my phone accidentally for Rs.244/- which allowed unlimited Airtel to Airtel calls and 1GB 4G internet daily for 60 days. I had been recharging for Rs. 349/- earlier which gave unlimited local+STD call and 1 GB 4G internet daily for 28 days. Since it was an honest error I did not complained about it. However from last 20 days Airtel has been charging me for data services. I complained once and explained them that they were incorrectly charging me for data when they refunded Rs.90/- and I told them that there is a problem and if I enabled data I would be charged again but they said it wouldn't happen . They also mentioned that I didn't had a 4G handset/sim hence might have been charged but both the SIM and the phone are 4G enabled as the same services had been working for over 6 months now.
Post that I have tried using net and have even posted screen shots of the data charges and the data availability on Facebook too but not touch relief.
I have yet lost over 100/- to data charges though I still had and have data pack available.
Hoping the team @ consumer complaints would be able to assist.
