Airtel Complaints & Reviews

So i have complaints regarding two airtel money wallets, one in my name, other is my relative's. Both the wallets we tried to send money to bank account (sbi) and money never got credited in the bank a/c, however it also did not get credited back to the wallet. Whenever i check balance it shows, the amount which i sent to bank is blocked. This is pathetic, and i have been trying for more than 1 week now to get the issues resolved but none helped.

I wrote to airtel money dept, called 400 many times, in the email no one got back to me, and in 400 they could never give me any fixed time when the matter would be settled. I wrote on facebook to airtel india, also to airtel presence, but no one cared to respond.

I have already got two case numbers from the automated response of airtel money dept via email CASE:196161 and 196104 If any of airtel executive is reading this, it is high time u take some action and resolve our issues at the earliest. In my email i have already provided all details like phone number. I have also forwarded the same email to airtel presence dept too.

I WANT MONEY BACK IN THE WALLETS ASAP.

I have booked airtel broadband connection on 30 dec, thay have made login on 2nd jan, it's 6 days i didn't get the connection. No proper reply from engineers, always delaying day by day. I had loss in work due to your worst service to me. I preferred airtel as the best connection. Am using airtel for 7 years and more. Can you pay my loss, you are not providing correct answer too. Is this the way you treat your valuable customers.

Hello,

This is second time, i am facing same issue with my airtel postpaid number [protected]. Current usage is not reflecting properly and still usage of last billing cycle is reflecting in current usage.

My billing cycle start from 5th of every month and end with 4th of next month.

Also current usage is reflecting rs. 4.0 instead of rs.0.0.

Last time i raised same concern to you.

Could you please check the issue as i am facing this issue 2nd time.

My airtel postpaid number:[protected]

Recahrge of Rs 148 for mobile no. [protected] done through airtel app registered with airtel no. [protected] and payment was made through visa debit card no. [protected]. my a/c was being debited for the said amount but recharge is not effective . after debit of a/c app gets hanged and no message for the recharge whether successful or failed not came.

kindly refund the said amount to my concerned saving a/c attached with the debit card that used for payment or credit the amount into airtel app wallet.

I have take broadband connection in pune from airtel and broadband id is [protected]_mh. There is some problem in the modem provided by airtel for almost a month. I am calling customer care since 26 dec 2016 to get my voice heard, but till date issue exists.

My modem provided by airtel is not working properly. These are ticket numbers which i have raised with customer care -

[protected] raised on 26 dec 2016
[protected] raised on 31 dec 2016
[protected] raised on 3 jan 2017

Every time i speak with customer care they assure me that my request will get resolve in next 2-4 hours, which never happened. Since 26 dec 2016, i have received some 2 or 3 calls from airtel backend team assuring that technician will visit my place the next day, but that next day never came.

Moreover, none of the tickets written above were closed with my consent. They closed because airtel team wanted to meet their sla, these is what i was told when i spoke to airtel senior representative (It was on 5th jan morning when i spoke to senior representative).

Please help in resolving this issue.

Sir/ madam

I am airtel dish tv user and my user id is [protected], connection in the name of manjunath, no 629, kaveri road, arekere, bengaluru...

It is submit that, on 07.01.2017 at about 5.30 pm there was a problem on network and i called many times to your customer care for rectification, your customer service executives simply wasted the time with giving baseless advice on phone, and finally they said the technicians not available today and said we will send by tomorrow uda

I had applied for porting my TATA Docomo number to Airtel around 10 days ago. It got ported yesterday evening. The old SIM card has stopped working. I am not able to call 59059 from the new Airtel SIM. It says that the number is not valid, please check the number you have dialed.
This is my official number and I am not able to even receive calls on it. I need this number immediately.

Dear concern teaam,

I am having an issue with my airtel broadband connection and fixed landline, since one month and half month (Since chennai cyclone). I have raised several requests no[protected], 77279868, 77059664,[protected] to resolve the issue.

Then suddenly received a message that the requests have been resolved. When i spoke to the customer care executive they said somebody has visited my home and corrected the issue, so they have resolved it.
Then they have raised another request for the same problem and said there engineer will visit home.

This same situation has been repeated for past four service requets.

Now i have got call from closing desk, to close the recent service request, when i have asked to provide the sufficient info, why they are closing the request they have hang up call intentionally.

I want to know is there any process set up in airtel to escalate the issue to the upper hierarchy. Is this company wants to hear to customer issue.

We haven't expected this type of service from airtel

Please give me a call or write to me at [protected]@gmail.com.

When I recharged my airtel postpaid no.[protected] of Rs 800 on Friday[protected] between 11AM to 12AM, my money was deducted from my bank but transaction failed .

Then I recharged from another Bank ATM card and it was successful .

Totally I initiated 4 transaction, out of which 3 was unsuccessful and 1 successful .

I am attaching photos of the transaction ID and photo of that transaction which was unsuccessful but money was deducted from the bank.

Please refund my money !

Total money debited 800 + 800 =rs 1600

My Airtel number [protected] from Tamil Nadu circle is currently in Maharashtra circle for last 1.5 yrs (i.e. it is in roaming sing July 2015 till Jan 2017). It was working fine till 1st January 2017. From 2nd January 2017 i am getting 'No service' in Network bar on top right side of my mobile. I have not recharged this number for some time (may be 3 months or more not even roaming recharge) This number is linked to my bank and because of this issue I am not able to do any online transaction. My request is to please reactivate my number as soon as possible or suggest me some other alternative without changing my number.

As per airtels suggestion i tried to get the same number via my friends in karnataka but when i sent my documents and tried to get the sim via my friends i was informed that i have to make my presence in bangalore to get the simcard which is not possible for me within next 1 or 2 months.. can you let me know whether i can get the same number in maharashtra ? If not please do let me know how it can be done. If possible please arrange a call back to my number.. [protected]

This is my 5th complaint as i am not getting a proper response and NO CALL for my previous complaints
Please provide me the same numner which was deactivated from your end without prior notice as all my govt proof and everything has that particular number. I had to go through lot of miserables in the absence of that number.

I have been using airtel number (725xxxxxxx) for past few years. Till yesterday the card was working fine but today morning its showing as sim is not activated and card is not provisioned.
All my accounts are linked with this number and am not able to do anything. I got this number in bangalore and last week moved to pune.
I cant call customer care as the sim is deactivated. And when i call from other numbers i am being asked to call from karnataka number or [protected] but when i call the second number the representatives didnt provide any support and they said they deactivated as their database is not updated. Because their database is not updated how can they deactivated my simcard. Now am not able to access any of my bank account because of their negligance.
When they are not concerned about customers then why are they providing fake service.

I need some action to be taken asap.

Airtel.com but i didnt get even a single response. I dont have any bangalore number here to call the customer care in bangalore now am in the middle of no where.. It seems just for a name sake i got a reply..

Later if i called airtel i will get a response that airtel database has not been updated that i have submitted the documents..

Asap.

Hi Team,

I don't who used my number as reference for some airtel landline number and the issue the unknown person not paid the bill so airtel people are continuously calling and harassing me. several times I told to them im not the correct person please don't irritate me. they are not leasing my words continuously calling me and giving warning to me as "we will going to disconnect your number and we will register legal case on you."
Why you people not understand my concern and hope so you have proof of that customer and every information and address also you can directly go that place and you can contact, why you people irritating me with out any reason.
please stop these type of issues if not this will give bad impression on Airtel brand.

I have recharged rs 347 via PayTM portal, where recharge succesfull and subsequently got confirmation message from airtel as below:

Recharge done on 05-Jan-17 09:26 AM, MRP:Rs347.00, PF:300.74, STax:Rs45.26, Talktime:Rs1.00, Balance:Rs15.37, TransID:[protected], BenefitEnjoy Free Local and STD on all mobile and landline calls and 50MB 3G/4G data for 28 days. For 4G handset only, get 1GB data. To check balance, dial *121*2#

But, neither calls are not going as per plan or nor data, Airtel Call center denied refund. This is purely cheating case by airtel in the name o[censored]nlimited calling

My post paid cell No [protected]. I am your customer since 2012. Recently I transferred from Hyderabad to Chennai in the month of July 2016. With great difficult after one month of my trials, I could change my portability to your Chennai office. First 15 days net connection was OK . But for the past one month i.e. since Nov 5th net connection was not continuous. And now net connection to cell is completely drained and not available but bill had come as Rs 779/-. Keeping your earlier services, I have opted to continue with same portability. When I contacted service center at Villivakkam, I was not properly guided and informed that the net will be alright after 3rd January. To my surprise even now the same situation continuous. I thought of change my portability to another service provider. But I want to have clarification regarding the non availability of Net Connection to my cell No.

29-Dec, I requested for new broadband connection in Bangalore, Monday I paid the activation bill of 500 INR keeping that the connection will get done within 3 days(mentioned by the sales executive).
To make your task easier, I have attached the screenshot of the payment made.
Wednesday was 3rd day, didn't get any call of confirmation neither any update on the same. Evening they said, Thursday for sure get the connection.

As I stay alone in Bangalore, I took leave hoping the new connection, 10:30 I called the sales guy asking for confirmation, he said, he is sales executing, cant give confirmation.

I called again, again and again, in fact 20+ times, no reply, I texted too, no reply.

I then called 121, they too said, will check and get back to me, no call, no confirmation.
You know same i have faced 3 months back,
finally I will get a call telling your connection is not possible in your area. Thank you for choosing airtel.
means, I spent money, time, and trust and finally got nothing.
Suggestion - if you guys are not able to provide connection request, notify us upfront rather than keeping in dark.
I hope will spread this scenario to help others not to think if it.

Thanks you so much.

Session 2- As I had mentioned above,
​
Finally got the call confirming that connection is not possible...
Keep my money with you guys, buy some sweets for your child or beloved ones
Cursing myself for trusting in you again
Thank You so much for wasting time and money.​

Earlier also, the complain was registered during the last week of December 2016 however the same was resolved without attending the real issue. (Ref. no.[protected] You are requested that the complain is attended today itself as we are at home and are facing problem due to extremely week signal.

Earlier we were informed that the wiring is required to be re-done. Request that the wiring be re-done today itself. Kindly note that we are holding AIRTEL connection, UNLIMITED PLAN, for many years.
