Airtel Complaints & Reviews

For a month the airtel numbers in jayanagar 3rd block location, bangalore has not been working! Full network but nobody is able to call us and we cannot call anyone..have to literally go to another location all together by travelling 10 min and make a call!!After 10 tickets opened with airtel, a million calls to the call centre and several messages on the facebook airtel india page, all i keep getting is this Hi Krithika! We tried reaching you from XXXXX36567 on all the numbers shared by you regarding your concern related to airtel services however, we couldn't get through your number. Please provide us an alternate contact number and share a convenient time to help us connect with you. We will be glad to assist you. Regards, from multiple people in fact!!
Looks like their service has gone to the dogs! Usually service providers resolve major outages in less than a day and atleast they have the courtesy to talk to their customers when tickets are opened with their service centres. We get calls and the next day the ticket is closed without resolution and agin we have to open a new case with Airtel. We even tried putting this on social media but they were least bothered to reply and finally they hid the post so that they can save themselves.

My phone number is : [protected]

Few reference trouble tickets opened by me with Airtel:
72933623
73160522
73160522
73229584

They are calling me to pay a bill of excellent amount of 1000 Rs. I have port my mobile from airtel to vodafone regarding number [protected] i m getting calls from airtel executives to pay a excellent amount of 1000Rs. I have pay my all dues on 26 october 2016 before porting my both mobiles 1. [protected]
2. [protected]
And now regarding this [protected] i m getting calls to pay a bill of 1000rs .
Please see after this i m very fed up.

I have two post paid connections in family (both ladies) of AIRTEL. whenever a call is made to these mobile nos, the mobile is showing switched for incoming calls. the set and the sim were changed as per advice and the problem still persists. the mobile nos are not contactable . the company did nothing to resolve the issue. one no belongs to an old person who requires it all the time for her medical help and other assistance.

I raised a request on 16-Dec to shift my FIXED LINE services

[protected] For shifting my fixed line to my new address - (both the houses are in same locality and two streets away - KOTTURPURAM)

Number:[protected]

I was assured that my request will be resolved max in 5 working days as per Airtel's SLA to shift fixed line.

However, the same was not done until 21-Dec. Since then, I have been calling airtel customer care at least twice a day (more than 10 calls till now). Every time they put on HOLD for no reason and make me wait for 10-15 mins.

I was told due to cyclone VARDAH the service requests are getting delayed and will be rectified in 2 days i.e. by 23-Dec. I waited and again called. Every time I was given 2 or 3 days as reason. Airtel is smart that for every call they create a new service request (they created a new one 76894926 when they clearly knew a previous request is not fulfilled).

On 26-Dec they assured my case will be resolved by EOD 26-Dec, but again no solution. the same day, I spoke to Prashant from escalation team who assured to speak to the area engineer and get back immediately. I received a call from tel:[protected] and a lady employee spoke who quoted she is from Escalation team and that she needs 2 days to fully serve my request. She confirmed my case will be resolved by 28-Dec EOD and that she will give me a call around evening 7PM to confirm if my case is resolved or not.

To no surprise, no one from Airtel called me to serve my request. Neither did the lady employee / Prashant from escalation team called me.

On 28-Dec EOD, i wrote an email to Airtel to discontinue my services. I got a call on 29-Dec stating the receipt of my email and that they wanted me to talk to the escalation team. Fed up of my experience with customer care and having 0% confidence that they will help me understand the reason for delay, I started explaining my concern to the customer care rep who immediately hanged the call. See the attitude.
Immediately I am getting an sms / email that my cancellation request is taken and that it will be processed in 7 working days. See the spirit of Airtel:

1. I raised a request for shifting my connection - IT WAS NOT SERVED till date. Airtel had nil customer service / commitment to call the customer and let them know the reason for delay. They did not do that.

2. Every instance, I had to call them and know the reason for the delay. They give VARDAH cyclone as the reason for delay. I also explained them that the condition in Kotturpuram area wa back to normal in 2 days and that my fixedline was working very well in my OLD location.

3. LOT of deadlines missed and Airtel seems clueless why the area representatives are delaying my request. Pathetic management.

4. Shifting lines - How much time it will take. Max 2-3 hours and not more. Even this Airtel cannot manage / provide a solution to customer.

5. TILL DATE I DO NOT KNOW THE REASON why my request was not fulfilled. Airtel escalation team too did not explain me the reason. The moment I asked them to cancel my connection, they instantly accepted and cancelled.

6. AIRTEL thinks they are the leaders and no one can shake them. Clearly AIRTEL is going to lose all its customers if they do not treat customer's better.

I have shared my BITTER experience in all SOCIAL media and here. Have personally told my friends who are all in very high positions in IT industry to move away from Airtel. See the difference this is going to make.

AIRTEL is doing pathetic customer service and it is going to lose its position to ACT all other players.

Sir,
Indeed Airtel is one of the best telecommunication service provider in India.
I am sorry to say the quality of signal around Patrakar Colony Ashok Nagar Allahabad is very poor specially the last area.
The problems we are facing are as follows.

1. It takes time to connect the call.
2. Frequent call drop during conversation and redialing hardly connect the call.
3. Poor quality of voice or interrupted voice during conversation.
4. The other end receive poor quality or disturbed voice.
5. Reception of call with in the home are either weak or one sided.
6. Call gets clear only outside of the house or nearby park.

Hope you will look into the matter and will try to solve it at your earliest otherwise our last option will be change of service provider to get rid of the problem, but still hopeful as, airtel has established the name with its best service.

Thanks & Regards

This is the third ticket in the past one week. There is no response from the team . The call back which is offered is not made.I am being treated very bad by the Customer Care when asked about the issue. I had tried all the methods possible to get my issue resolved. There is no way possible to get the issue resolved. I pay for my Broadband and the internet which is not working for almost 15 days in a month

My department was issued cug sim your airtel but I am facing signals problems so increase signal strength. My number [protected]. also I have changed handsets up to five. that is not mobile problems your network problem. Don't give adds our network coverage through out India. it is not. Your fraud to people give quality network to people.

I Requested for data pack on MyAirtel App on 20th Dec. Charges were debited, but the service was not activated. After 10 days and speaking to 4 customer service rep, they still did not resolve the issue. I have been asking for a refund of the charged amount, but they are still asking for more information, even though all information was verified by the previous cust serv reps. I had informed them that I would be travelling out of the country, and my local number will not be active - but to avoid resolving the issue, they keep on asking - via Twitter - for the local number. Very frustrated with their customer service.

I took an Airtel Broadband Connection before two months in one area(previous address). After twenty days I shifted my house in some other area(present address). When I requested Airtel to shift my connection at the present address, they told me that they don't have the connection available in that particular area, In spite, of their claiming that they are the best network at their website. My subscribed Airtel connection was offering me a Free first three-month broadband and Free landline calls(till the connection exist) associated under the Broadband Scheme only. Now when they failed to deliver the broadband connection after twenty days in my present address, Airtel customer care 121 told me that my billing won't be generated and I will have a zero balance and I don't need to pay anything as they failed to serve me as a customer and I was in my free three month period so I don't need to pay anything at all and with that they disconnected my complete broadband connection. Today some Airtel representative is calling me after a month of disconnection and asking me to pay my landline charge which was associated under their broadband scheme and claims to be free. How many times should a common people like me tangle himsel[censored]nder this sorts of companies who claims something else before the connection is taken, commits something else after the connection is disconnected and then comes up with a nasty surprise of their fake commitments and finds the way to loot money. Sir/Maam, Please keep this old taboo of telephone companies of claiming unnecessary money from people away. They mislead with their ads and tries acquisition of customers by several wrong promises.

I tried doing recharge for my airtel prepaid mobile [protected] online from airtel online recharge site with txn id K1UB4XEXQE19P3D3GU8F16122IGAAMZROE1 of rs 100. The money was debited from my account but i did not receive the recharge. Kindly refund my money or get the recharge done. Resolve this as soon as possible or i will be forced to take strict actions against this. Also note that this is not the first time it has happened.

I had done some transaction using airtel money wallet. After which my wallet balance was rs 39.75
After couple of days when i checked my wallet balance it was nill. Apart from this my whole transaction history was also not visible on the airtel money mobile app.

I tweeted and wrote emails to airtel custmer care but all the y say is the case is being investigated and will update me soon.

Unfortunately i am still getting calls saying the same even after 2 weeks.

I want to lodge complain against them for this wallet balance forgery.
