Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My sim with no: [removed] is not being recognized by phone/network. On 21st December, 2016 (day before yesterday), a message something like this: "SIM not registered in network" is popped up in my phone. From that moment, that sim is not working. I have already contacted customer care and raise an online complaint but there is no response from them. Hence, raising the complaint in ConsumerComplaints forum.

They told that it activates if we touch any link in d internet, but in my case, the service was activated when i did not even touch the internet the complete day .

Hi This is somasekhar residing at Chennai.
AIRTEL dth no: [protected].

I am not getting Vedio signal for my Airtel dth from 13th Dec till now.
I am calling Airtel customer care daily but unable to connect them getting voice message saying all lines are very busy like that.

After I keep on trying out of 10 times able to connect one time and raised a complaint related to above issue. Every day customer care people saying today issue will be resolved but nobody called or tried to resolve this issue. After so much fight with customer care they gave 2 service engineers numbers when I tried calling them they are not even picking the calls. I have called them so many times but no reply from them.
Service request : 57391317

This is very irritating and almost 15 days I haven't used any dth services but still I need to pay the amount to Airtel dth.
The funniest part is I am getting message from Airtel dth saying your dth service expires on 28th please do recharge.

Hi,

I am from Chennai. My fixed line number is[protected]. On Dec 1st, I raised a request to 121 to change my broadband and fixed line services to my new location (villivakkam). They checked with me about the zip code, they said they will send me the technicians soon. No one appeared. In between Chennai was affected by cyclone. I was okay till one week after that. But still no one appeared. And I started giving multiple reminders. They said in this new location PORT migration is going one and it will take 48 hours. I waited. Finally on Dec 21st I gave a reminder. Dec 22nd I got a call from a lady to inform that they will not give me the connection as PORT is not available. I asked for the timeline when they can give. She said no timeline can be given. Also she asked me to call the customer care to put the connection on hold. But why should I? I need connection and putting hold is the solution? She is asking me to wait, till some other customer shift their home to different location leaving their port free.

Same day another guy called me from billing department asking me to pay the previous month's bill where in I requested to waive off the 4 days which I did not use. (My billing cycle ends on 4th of every month). He sent an email with waived amount. I asked him to transfer the call to the technical department. He said he will ask someone to call after 5 mins. NO ONE called. I called the customer support and a guy called Santhosh picked. He explained me everything but that is not going to help me. I need a solution. He gave me Appellete's number and email address. When I tried they did not pick my call but sometimes it is busy. When they are continuously avoiding my phone call, how come they are able to attend other's phone.

My questions to Airtel,

1) Port availability is company's problem or customer's problem?
2) When a company knows that they are running out of port, they should have a planned alternative what will they provide to the new customers or already existing customers like me moving to this location. If there is no alternative, then should think about installing new PORT. Why did you fail there?
Airtel like standard company will not strategies? Then why are we believing them as standard company.
3) When there is no PORT availability why are have "AD Boards" in every gate of my location that "Airtel broadbank 40mps speed for Rs. 999". I checked with them about that, they said even for that they need port. When you are not able to provide, why give Advertisement?
4) Why do you advertise in TV that even in Village / Forest Airtel internet works? when you are not able to give connection in Chennai City.

I have been logged a complaint on airtel. Poor service and i have requested for shifting my broadband to new place and i am waiting since 20 days. Try to take up this issue in line with consumer forsum and i need a resolution immediately.

Sir, i am using motorola moto g3 handset (Volte).
Before recharged yesterday i had dialed 198 to confirm whether my area is covered under 3g network or not.
On that time airtel cust. Care representative are saying that i can use 3g service in my that location very well.
That's why yesterday i have recharged of rs. 145 to get 3g data.
Now when i am going to access internet my handset showing "e" symbol instead of showing h+.
I am getting a very pathetic speed while using internet.

Why i am getting 2g network if my location is under 3g network even i have recharged 3g pack.

Kindly look into this matter else i request you to please refund my money of rs. 145 in my main account.

I had recharged my father's airtel dth on 19th december, 2016 with rs.1071 via paytm. The airtel account shows this transaction, but the balance is shown to be negative. Every day a message props up that there is only a couple of days of viewership left. The customer id is [protected]. Customer service can't be reached, as usual. I want you to investigate the issue and credit the payment towards the account balance.

Hi,

I have been a longtime loyal customer of airtel. Recently, i have moved from bangalore to gurgaon. I was enjoying superb services of airtel broadband in bangalore, however, it is not available in my area. I have been chasing for last 6 months to get airtel broadband but all in vain.

I could assure you that there are many people interested in my locality.

Airtel dish (Digital tv id: [protected]) is not working from dec-13th and raised a complaint # 57275062 on dec -16th which have been mentioned that it will be resolved in 48 hrs but it is not resolved but i got the sms as it is resolved.

When i called to the customer care, they told that they were reached to my mobile which was not reachable on dec-17th (Saturday) but i didn't get any call regarding this. If the call is not reachable, i would definitely get the sms alert for that call and i would have get back to you immediately since i'm using the airtel sim.

Without notifying the customer, there are closing the complaint with dummy reason.

Even then i raised another complaint # 53738590 on dec-19th which was mentioning that it will be resolved in 48 hrs again but not yet resolved as of now. No one form the customer care or from the service engineer called me on this and my number was reachable at all times.

From monday dec 19th, i'm calling to airtel dish customer care and all the executives telling that it will be resolved eod tomorrow but still now it is not yet resolved.

Even today i called, they are telling that it will more time to resolve. Still now none of them visited to check what's the issue.

Customer care executive or the airtel are not helpful in this regard.

Please do the needful.
