Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I tried to port on airtel using mnp but now regret by heart as my worst decision.
After my network changed from old provider to new provider, i was toll to make call on59059 and get televerification but when i try calling it says outgoing call facility is not available please contact customer care.
I contacted every customer care and at there airtel store but no one was able to solve my problem.
After which i contacted nodal officer delhi,
He to me that he escalated it to concerned team and it will be solved in 48hrs.
72hrs passed nothing happened, so i tried again he again told me the same and generated new service request and told me to wait.
Now after 10days are passed my no. Is still the same i am unable to connect and now i fear my no. Will be blocked as it hasn't been televerified.

Atlast now i am hopeless and believed that i will never get myno. Back but now i have a life experience that

Never choose airtel

I am not satisfied with postpaid plans because company is giving 1 gb data and unlimited free calls... But in prepaid company is giving 28 gb data and unlimited calls in same 349rs... So thats why i am going to port out my number in idea because thier plans are even good than airtel... If company gives me good offer than i will not port out my number... I will wait for the confirmation message till 5th july

Cheated by airtel for hello tunes. Received a call from call centre saying that the hello tune service is free and to confirm 5 after the record ed msg. On confirmation as it was saying it was chargable for rs 280. Automaticaly deducted and confirmed as i heard a beep call. And immediately put he cut the call. And 280got deducted. Its not about the money. It is cheating and using unethical means and spoiling the name of the company. Such trick s will not take the company forward in the long run

Sub: complain against wrong billing – with wrong scheme of airtel mobile connections.
Ref: mobile no.[protected], [protected] – name of customer: nityananda hazra.

Dear sir,

With ref to the above, we employees of ntpc ltd., were approached by your employee mr. Sunil grover at our office with a scheme of ₹ 349/- (Taxes extra) in which the facilities were offered as – unlimited calling/message, free roaming – in coming/outgoing & 6 gb data @ 4 g speed.
Whereas the 1st month’s bill we have received for rs.661/-, on contacting mr. Sunil grover he informed that the wrong scheme feeding has been done by airtel due to some reason and assured to correct the same. As the correction was under process and it was time taking we have paid the bill on assurance of mr. Sunil grover that the additional/balance amount shall be adjusted in the next months bill.
Regret to mention that in the next month also no correction has been effected and the bill is raised by airtel with the same amount i. E. For ₹ 661/-, accordingly we contacted mr. Sunil grover and informed the status, then he said that no need to pay the bills as corrections would be effected at airtel’s end. After his commitment on 5th june we have received message from airtel (121) stating that ₹ 448/- has been received, but regular reminder is being received that the payment is due. And ultimately the out going services has been dropped by airtel. On contacting mr. Grover he assured to correct the same and continued the same commitment but no fruitful result is received by us.in the meantime another months bill has served by airtel including previous months bill amount, whereas outgoing service is kept in abeyance.
On contacting mr. Sunil grover he used to misbehave with us and refused to correct the bill/scheme, we are very surprising with such type of behaviour from a organization like airtel.
In this connection you are requested to kindly look in to the matter and arrange to correct the bills according to the scheme was offered to us.
It is known fact that, a renowned name in the area of telecommunication has failed to fulfil its commitment of providing hassle free service to a goi’s maharatna power giant like ntpc.
I assure you, though you have failed to keep your words, i wont fail in getting the number ported tosome other service provider as and when technically i get the porting right.
It has been a bitter experience for all the ntpc employees posted at dehradun, which was resultant of in efficient and unprofessional attitude of airtel staff.
Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
Nityananda hazra

I have been visiting airtel showrooms / relationship centres for almost 2 months and finally june 19th i visited velachery arc (Opp. Saravana stores) and they agreed to convert from post to pre. I paid additional amount other than the bill amount to be on safer side to avoid any issue with services getting suspended due to payment default. They committed 48 hours time to convert but after passing 100 hours also no update from the airtel and everytime i call they ask me to wait 48 hours more. Is it a trick / psychopaths not really willing to convert or do they think not to migrate from post to pre to suck money out of my pocket for no use. Finally i called nodal officer and even he didn't assured me about the issue getting resolved. Now i am clueless about to stay back with airtel or port out to other network. Overall negative experience with airtel.

Hi,
1) in airtel website you mentioned that we will get 70 days data and calling but i got sms as 56 days only. While i'm checking validity it showing 28 days from the date i recharged.
2) i recharged on 6th june 2017. Now i'm not getting data.
Please resolve as soon as possible.
I'm unable to connect customer care.

I tried doing recharge from my airtel app on 20th june in the morning. My got deducted and recharge not done. I tried doing it several times and every time my transaction got failed. Money got deducted from my bank account and my recharge is not done yet. I tried reaching customer care via call and email (3times). They havnt replied to my mail. I got call nce and i havent got resolution. I have to take an advance talk time from airtel as my phone balance was nil nor i can use my data pack. More than 600rd got debited from my account.

I have been Airtel customer for years and love the service but there have few been a few times recently I have faced disappointments.

I would like to bring this one to your attention. I am sure this has been faced by many many of your loyal Airtel customers.

On your Airtel recharge page https://www.airtel.in/prepaid-recharge there is a recharge listed for Rs. 197 which benefits new customers only.
Your website mentions:
1GB(3G)+1GB 3G(night) SR only For greater than 90 days - 500 MB 3G

The website says "SR only" but there is no way to know what it means. Many unsuspecting loyal customers are doing this recharge and getting just 500 MB data because they are "old" customers. Instead of this they could have done Rs. 175 recharge which gives 1 GB data for 28 days i.e. 28GB of total data.

I have recharged today for Rs. 197 due to the same confusion and would like mine to be switched to Rs. 175 recharge. I can deal with Rs. 22 loss but otherwise my Rs. 197 recharge is total waste. Please give me a recharge of Rs. 175 instead of the Rs. 197 which I already paid through PayTM.
At the very least I will suggest you to atleast correct the Airtel recharge page.

I have 4g sim with 4g handset with full tower and with an 4g symbol and am not able to search any thing in google. It will show no internet connection. When i switch on data sometimes tower will go off and reconnects after 10 to 15 secs. If am doing any transaction then it will hang in the middle itself. Could you please take action on them and ask them to stop ookla advertisement too. Consider this complaint with ookla too. Thank you.

Don't use airtel india payment bank wallet. No guarantee for your money here. Airtel never respond for customer.

I have practical experience with airtel presence. So many times i was complaint on customer service and technical issues but no use. Finally i decided to close airtel dealings.

I strongly suggest to all my friends. Don't encourage non-customer support mobile networks.

Airtel india blames people with "india's fastest network" it is 101% false. Presently jio is india's fastest network. It is open challenge to airtel india
Still i am not understand, why airtel presence behave like this. Not only customer service, technical issues, even mobile offers airtel india provide best offers for new customers. I think airtel india forgot old customers. On this issue i was discuss with airtel india authorities, they simply smile... Finally i decided these fellows doing business without values and ethics.

Hello there,
Since last few years i am using airtel prepaid connection. And now wanted it to convert in postpaid connection.
Before 6 days they have disconnected my prepaid connection. 6 days passed but they didn't activated my postpaid sim. Each time i call customer care they just say the complain has been raised wait for few hours. Being a girl it is necessary to have mobile with you. But they are not ready to take any responsibility.

Dear sir,
Sir mene airtel me 148 ka recharge krwa ya tha daily ki 1 gb airtel muje deta h. Lekin 4 gb bonus me se 2 gb use krne ke liye 2 gb di thi. Mene airtel me baat ki to unhone kha sir aapko 28 gb per day 1 gb mile gi. Or 4gb bonus me se aap ne 2 gb use kr li. Mene kha ok but meri 2 gb wale plan ko to active ki jie unhone kha sir aap se 3 dino ke ander apka 2gb bonus vapas le liya jaae ga. Mene kha jb lena hi tha bonus to diya kyo. Ye baat glat h airtel ki customers ko bonus dena hi tha to pura do ager na hi dena to faltu me airtel ki advertising ke liye bonus ka natak nhi krna cahe airtel ko.

I tried a recharge of 349rs from my airtel app using my debit card but the transaction failed and the money was refunded but on my airtel app and not back into my bank account. After that, i am not able to recharge via my airtel app. Issue pending since april. I contacted customer care then nodal officer then the appellate officer. All of them are useless.
Transferring the money from app to bank account has transfer changes which i am not willing to pay because airtel is responsible for this. The worst part is airtel officers assured me that the issue will be resolved in 72 hours. It has been months now and i have to explain the same issue every time to these people because every time a new person handles the issue. Need my money back into my account without any deductions in the name of transfer charges.

I asked for the appeal number from the appellate officer i got this "sr158310"

I am getting vulgar calls from last two days from mob no [protected]. I want some neccessary steps to be taken against this person and these numbers to be barred. I have already warned the person but he is saying do what ever you want to do that mean he is not afraid of police or any one.
So request you please talk necessary action against the person.

Respected sir/mam
I would kindly request you to change my old registered mobile number by a new mobile number.
