Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I am a customer of airtel dth since last one year. I got the connection in aug 15. Due to some issues the stb was changed in jan 16 under warrenty. Again due to problems it was changed on 12 sep 16. However this time i was charged. On 21 sep 16 i lodged a complaint on some issue. 22 sep 16 the technician visited and told me that he needs to take the stb with him. It was decided that he will take it on 26 sep 16 by 11 am as i was to board a train in the afternoon. However no one turned up. I again lodged a complaint on 29 sep 16 and was told that someone will come on 30 sep 16, but no one turned up. On calling up again on 30 sep 16 a call back was arranged. I got a call back in the evening by a senior supervisor ms nidhi. She assured me that a technician will come with a new stb on 01 oct 16 without fail.
Technician did visit me on 01 oct 16 but without any stb and again told me that he needs to take the stb with him and was not sure by when it will be returned back. I called the customer care and my call was transfered to a senior supervisor ms bharti. She assured me that i would get a call back by evening and the concerned service centre will resolve the complaint. However, till now no one has come nor have i got a call from airtel.
Such a pathetic service backup by airtel.
The complaint nos are:
55238134, 55455171, 55480728 and an online complaint dt[protected].

But no results and no one called me back... Waiting for their call from past two months... Issue is at my home place and works good at my office place. Also issue is with complete boduppal confirmed vth shopkeeper. Chk attached pic, open network shows excellent signal but zero signal on mobile. False report on airtel app.

A person named william mentioned that he is calling from icici ambathur branch and keep on disturbing me and my daughter by calling frequently and asking to pay 37 lakhs. Even after telling that i am not the intended person, he is keep on calling to my daughter's mobile and saying that he know all her details and asking whether geetha j is your mom. This is ridiculous and disappointing. I will have to take legal actions if it continues.

Respected officer,
Airtel prepaid in my name is being used by my cousin and he sent a msg to a dnd registered consumer, but instead of blocking only that number airtel has blocked all the numbers i use in my name, i asked for the basis on which they disconnected the all the numbers but they are just mentioning the violation conducted by one number, my numbers are currently invalid, i asked for the procedure for recovering my number but they are not responding properly

I have complained against Airtel Company in your forum on 24.9.16& 28.9.16
respectively. But still now my complain has not been resolved.On two occations they talked me over phone and assure me that your complain will be resolved within 48 hours.But noting happened.They always bluffed me.Sir you can imagine how much mental pressure and agony i have been suffering due to their fault.Kindly do something otherwise anything happens to me for their fault
Airtel Company will be responsible for that.

I had asked for reactivation of my Landline on 17/09/16. Whenever I call up, the personnel at the other end tells that my issue will be escalated and the personnel will be contacting me within 24 hours. But nothing happened till date. I have complained online on 29/06 with Ref.No.LB[protected]. I spoke to the Manager also but of no use. Kindly update

I'm Twinkle sethi from Delhi.
I would like to inform you that you guys have the worst postpaid services ever compared to other services providers.

Also you guys have the worst customer care representatives. I have the recordings what your one of the representative used profanity. I will be seriously going to file a complaint against the worst airtel. But nowadays your servers are always down and no one is there to help apart from that your IVR does not even connects to your representatives wow.

If I am able to pay 2500 bills every month then for this amount I can really fight till consumer court. It's always whenever call on airtel helpline number I always hear ''mam we are sorry will not be able to help due to servers problem''.

What actually do you guys think we are mad or what if we are paying bills then you actually responsible for our query also I am going post the same on facebook.

Best of luck Airtel.

I have applied for new broadband internet connection on 03/09/2016. A sales person came to my place to check and I have given 700 INR to that person. He gave me the Receipt Also. He said he will send a technician within 2 days to set up the connection. Therefore, the person never came to my place to set up the connection. My friend also applied through online same person came to collect the money and given the connection within 3 days. But when I call the person he says there is a some issue, so getting delay. Later the person does not pick the call. I called multiple times to call center, every time they give some different story and it will be resolved within 48 hours and some time an agent says you did not book through online so you need to call the sales person. What the hell Airtel people are doing. You send same person to collect the money, but when I ask about the connection you ignore. This is not fair. You took my money and did not give me connection also. At least you should refund the amount or your Airtel receipt is a fake one. Your Sales person is a fraud one. Do not do this kind of Fraud activity, company like Airtel I never expected this. Please this is my final request to take an action...Very Sad and frustrated...:(:(:(

My Airtel Fixed line number is: [protected]
DSL ID: [protected]_kk
Subscriber's name: Kishor Malawade
Pack Details: 16 Mbps (80 GB)

I had subscribed for the new broadband connection on either 3rd September or 4th September. But I have received the message that Bill has been generated on 12th September (i.e., within 10 days of subscription) and the due date to pay the Bill is 1st of October.

I have also received another message mentioned as Usage Data has been exhausted, But I have not used 80 GB of subscribed data within 10 days.

I tried calling customer care minimum 10 times, but no response from them to solve the issue. To whom should I raise the complaint?

Hello, I'm using your network (3G pack) for the last 1 years. I have recharged for 3G pack amounting to INR.465 through online on 25th NOV '2016. The transaction was failed but the amount has been deducted from my Bank a/c. Till date it has not credited back to my account. Once the transaction is failed you have to proper steps to refund that amount. 7 days got over till now and I'm not sure what steps you've taken so far. I'm losing my interest for these periods. You cannot expect the customer has to raise a query to you asking refund. Waste of my time and your time. Try to be a Customer friendly. The details of the failed transaction status are mentioned below for your reference. Expedite your process. Thanks Airtel Mobile No : [protected] Amount of recharge : INR. 465 Date of Transaction : 25th NOV 2016 Airtel Transaction ID :[protected] Bank Name : HDFC Bank[protected]

Dear, I have made airtel online postpaid bill payment on 02 Oct 2016 Amount got deducted from HDFC bank .payment successfully . Money deducted from my HDFC BANK . But from airtel side they said money not reached them.and the transaction has failed. I have not received any refund to my bank after that. This is scam by airtel. They have disconnected my line while speaking. Details are mentioned below: Bank : HDFC Narration: [protected]-CITRUSAIRTEL :[protected] Dated: 02 Oct 2016 Amount : Rs.863.22 Transaction failure. Kindly look on to the issue and resolve it asap. Thanks Samar

I am already activayed new plan and using 4G Data plan of three months validity 30GB but now again the old plan of 3G got activated automatically on 30th of september and money got detected. I asked for deactivate and refund but they have not responded properly and refused to refund.Then I asked to connect to the higher officials they refused to give connection and disconnected abruptly. Really bad customer service. I need to speak to higher officials regarding this problem.

Its very disappointing to see that a simple query for a bill plan change has taken more then two weeks. Additionally Airtel doesn't care to reach back to the customer in time and the intention is to continuously overcharge the customer. I have been trying to reach out to customer care for more then two weeks now to escalate the issue but there is no response. Seems like they want me to withdraw and take my account to a competitor.

Regarding airtel care plz take action for this

Rohit didn't reply my call after collect my document. he collect my document from 29.03.2016 i have a slip for charges 250 for new connection.
plz help me for this hole incidence.

Complain no 71719972 was about to resolve by 1st oct. Seriously you guys are fooling customer. I am upset with your false commitment and work. Its me the customer who is writing to you everyday since 8 days but you dont even bother to enable services and provide any resolution and commitment.

I asked yesterday to call me back but no response to that too. Whom should i escalate this too?
