Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I have ported my idea postpaid to airtel postpaid. It's a national mnp.
All the services are active expect imsg and facetime which are not getting active.
I am sure i will be charged rs 5 / sms as well as i have tried multiple times to activate the service.
This is just too irritating, waste of time and harrassment for a newly onboarded customer.

Dear concern,
My name is md saddam hossain akbory, bangladeshi nation, passport number: ba0724221, present address - hotel gobal place, road no-06, maipalpur, new delhi, india. Permanent address - kalu miyan chowdhury bari, ward no-02, hulain, patiya, chittagong, bangladesh have purchased a airtel sim no[protected]u, mobile no:[protected], imsi no: [protected], packed on:18-apr-2017 form local retail shop (Mr. Jeetander mobile: [protected]) on today (05/05/2017) 10:00am with this believe that airtel is a best mobile company for india. Moreover in our country, airtel creates an image for their support and service. But know i lost this faith due to your service. I am surprised that your retailer break the commitment, he takes all my documents (Passport copy, visa copy) 2 times for the sim activation. I signed in the form but it’s really mean to say you that i don’t know what is the problem. I paid 350 rupes for that.

I contacted with the retailer 2 (Two) time, but he didn’t support me in this issue. He said it is problem of your side. I have no phone line or mobile that i call your good office. I am sorry to inform you that due to your support lacking, i still not communicate with my mom, wife and son. I am really shocked.
I believe your good office take the issue seriously and provide batter service to foreigner. It is a reputation of company. I feel myself helpless. I write to you with this believe that “atithi devo bhava”.

Thanking you.
Md saddam hossain akbory

I need to talk to customer care service
I need to clarify my doubts regarding my plan. I have received a message from Airtel to my number: [protected]
And The message is.,
Data usage alert: 100MB is remaining in your account. Post quota, charges apply at 50p/MB. For data packs, dial *121*11#.

I need to know what is that post quota.
For my daily data usage.,
As per your message.. Will I be charged later?
Why can't I directly talk to your Airtel executive.

Still my complaint given on April 19th is pending. That was sent to airtelpresence mail I'd on 3rd April. Still how many days r months u want to resolve my complaint.

On 1 April 2017 I recharged my mobile no [protected] with rs 345 and tried to pay the money via paytm Due to some rush issues the payment wasnt successful and so I did it again After some time both my payments were successful and I even got the message
Just after that I called 198 and talked to the customer care executive to which he said that since I have recharged twice the validity will be of 56 days instead of 28 days On 28 April my internet services were stopped and the customer care executives have already blocked my no I tried calling them for the entire day but all in vain Its still blocked I talked to them by one of friends phone on 30 april and the 121 senior care officer told me that my internet services will resume after 12 mid night but nothing happened Next day I again called him and to which he said that he hasnt said anything like that and was completely contradicting his previous promise and then he disconnected my call
345 is not a small amount Kindly look into the matter

I have a land at prime location in vill/post - mohammapur, teh - sandila, dis - hardoi, (Up) where i need airtel to install tower.
The tower can provide coverage to all the villages in the area
And tower is approved.
So contact me

Dear sir/sirs,

I am one of your old customer who unfortunately subscribed to your iptv services as soon as they were launched. I subscribed to a bundle offer of iptv services, unlimited data and some calling benefits paying a sum of rs 2000/ on a monthly basis till your iptv services were discontinued towards the end of 2016.

I continued with airtel despite it's poor broadband connectivity and below average iptv services just thinking that this was the best i could get.

When your iptv services were discontinued at the end of 2016, i called up your customer care to give a me basic calling plan since i was not happy with the broadband services also. Hathway was providing much better services and prices and i had installed one of their connections on a trial basis and already used it for a month.

Please note that all this while since september 2016 to 31st december 2016 my mother was in a critical condition in the hospital and i could not regularly follow up with reference numbers thinking that once the request had been made it would surely be acted upon by your globally renowned company.

All me telephone bills are paid by standing instructions on my credit card by the way.

Well, after my mother passed away in december and was free from all the family rituals, i finally got the time to call up airtel and i requested them to reduce my plan to basic calling plan. They offered me a plan of rs. 699/- which gave some calling benefits and data of 10 gb. When i told them that i do not require any data they replied that since this was the minimum plan they could offer so i might as well take the data bundled also since i did not have a choice.

But they offered me a discount of 50% for the first 6 months and assured me that at least for the first 6 months i would be saving on my bills. Again since i had no choice i thought some saving is better than nothing and had to accept.

But sir, my ordeal does not end here.

Come march, come april and i am still getting bills according to the same iptv plan of rs 1800/- and my credit card company is more than happy to pay all bills on time since the money is not going out of their pockets.

So i call up again "121 happy to help"... And i get a reply that they can see in their records that a request was made by me on the 1st of january 2017 to switch to a lower plan but "due to some technical error" it was not done and i was assured that it would be done very soon and all the excess amount charged from me would be refunded to me. And i was assured that i would get a confirmation soon within 48 hours that the change has been made.

As expected no confirmation was sent to me and after almost a week when i called 121 they had all the history but nothing was getting processed. I told them that i was no longer interested to keep the connection and requested for a disconnection. They transferred my call to the disconnection department who after listening to the whole story assured me to do something and still took the request.

Then the usual story, the so called retention department calls and asks me to narrate the entire fairy tale and then offers heartfelt apologies for the inconvenience caused and shows how deeply hurt he would be by losing an old and loyal customer like me and starts offering me mouth watering plans and literally begs me to give your company a chance. (By the way he was calling from an airtel landline [protected] and there was so much disturbance that he called me around 10 times that day and i could not make out a single word he was saying except for the intermittent "aap sun paa rahe hai?". I begged him to check his landline phone first before calling someone to resolve a complaint.)

But persistent he was and after about 20 failed attempts he finally got thru to me the next day and started making promises that my plan would be rs.299/- and he would make it free for one month blah blah blah.

He was representing you company, i would not even employ him to clean my car.

Well, that was 4 days back.

And finally i get a call from airtel very politely informing me that a bill of rs. 1874 is due for last month and my disconnection request will be processed only after i clear this bill.

Respected Sir,

My phone automatically reset so lost my important contacts.

We have taken airtel digital tv one year back and we did not get tv for last 5 months. We have raised so many complaints. Customer care people are responding very arrogantly. Engineer told he has rectified the problem but when we have taken subscription after 1 year the same problem. We are not getting the digital tv from the day we have subscribed. We get irritated with this. So we request to return our money back.

Respected sir

Dear airtel,

I'm writing this e-mail because i have reached the threshold limit of my patience.

I am a broadband user of yours. Since september last year (2016) i have been regularly calling your service center for inconsistent/irregular internet connection.
Practically every alternate day (Since sept 2016), my internet connection is down for at-least 30 mins, (Sometimes two times a day). I have been raising this issue constantly without any permanent resolution till now.

This issue is further compounded by the fact that service engineers of airtel make me close the service call by force. Your service technicians use the tactics of "goonda gardi" with customers, one particular engineer actually shouted at me, arguing that since the connection was working at the time he called, he should close the service request!

I have been a customer of airtel for almost 14 years now and if this is how you treat old customers, i shudder to think about the new ones.

I have spoken to the nodal/appellate office about this issue.in case there is no resolution, i will not hesitate to escalate this matter to trai (There has to a limit to how much airtel can arm-twist a customer). If i can pay the full rental on time every time, i expect consistent and hassle free service (I am paying for it).
So, if airtel cannot provide consistent service, it is only fair that the customer too shouldn't pay rentals consistently either.

More over, because of the behaviour of your service engineers, i am concerned about the safety of my family and me. These people know my residential address and i fear they will cause some kind of harm. I will be registering an fir/diary against this (Airtel service people) with my local police station for the safety of my family,

I need complete and permanent resolution to this, or, i need airtel to admit that this issue is beyond your capability to resolve in a professional manner.

The original sr number is 81450454. (I don't know what the status of the sr is right now - the engineer might have closed it himself).

And finally, every interaction with airtel causes way too much stress and anxiety. Thankfully number portability is available and many other isp's who can give better service than airtel. This is not a threat - this is meant to open your eyes - don't think your customers are fools and that you can take them for a ride and for granted. Social networking can spread the word like wild fire.
