Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I have been reporting from the two months there was network disruption and i was charged for the call drops every time and i was charged for even a 1-10
seconds where i will not be able to talk to other person or vice-versa

iam having this problem form the past 4 months with the bill issues and since because of this issues i was not able to use services well and
requested for resolution and still waiting for it and so i didn't pay up my bill
from past month and now the services was disrupted and i was asked to pay full payment including late payment charges.

since because of the Network issues, i have not been able to use my services completely namely ( Voice calls and Data), but still i have been charged for the same.

Request you to check those dropped calls on my bills in months of APR-June where there was lot calls dropped below 10 seconds.

Since there is no proper response from the CS or the Nodal team & appellate officers, i am writing this to CCF.

The TRAI has been saying not to charge the customers for the call drops and i have been facing the same from the last months and with the same being billed and forcing me not to opt for other networks.

Now you disconnected my network service from past 15 days, i have not utilized single incoming or outgoing call and this period of network disruption has also been charged.

Complaint NO: Ref30967832

My phone was on charging when i received a text message from av-omlife stating "fashion bunny service has been activated".

I was totally surprised as my phone number is in dnd list and i never received any information about the said service. I also never activated the service. It was activated automatically without my consent.

This has happened to my family members and my friends too.

What is going on? Why is airtel stealing money from our balance? Please help.

Hello Sir,

Just want to escalate an issue regarding my airtel post paid number [protected]

This sim card just failed. It has no physical damage whatsoever. Still looks brand new. But its not registering on network. hence, I am asked to apply for a duplicate sim, which is all very difficult for me as I am very busy. It also asks for a Rs.25 payment.

The sim is fine, un-tampered, un-swapped.. Still looks brand new. I havent played with it to damage it.

So, if it fails just like that, remember, the mistake is yours, not mine. Why should I take the burden to rectify it.

I would like to port out my Airtel number to some other networks. Would you please give me a Unique port number, as I cannot do this from my sim right now.

Hi,

I have sent a Portablity request to change to another network for the subject mobile numer due to high call charges. I have received a call from [protected] and they said they are calling from airtel. And they have given me a offer like, all local mobile calls will be charged 30 paise per minute and 3 months validity. I said ok and agreed to continue on airtel. But the benfit has not been added to my number. So I have call 198 and raised complaint regarding this, they said we will add the benifit to your accout within two days. And i have received a message from airtel on 22 June 2016 and they said the benifits has been credited to your account. But the call charges is still not reduced for me.
Am being a customer for more than 6 years and worst customer service experince ever i have ever had today while i contacted the 198 service center. They are saying like am cheating while i have all evidence.

Dear team

Airtel activated this nonsense service called "follow celebrities" on my phone for rs 90 / month on my phone number ([protected]) from nowhere.
When i called the customer care, they told me i had clicked on an advertisement during browsing the internet and it got activated, to which i replied i never did that, then customer care was very happy speaking about how i must have mistakenly clicked on such advertisement which people generally do during browsing. There is no confirmation asking my consent.

Bull they say, no refund will be provided.

To whom so ever it may concern,

My name is Aayush and I am trying to get a Broadband connection from Airtel from past week. I have made 8 calls to the customer care and has given my details for the same number, yet to receive any calls regarding installation which was promised to me.

This was supposedly my first buy from Airtel and that what a NEW customer gets. I had high hopes and after talking to my friends decided to come to you guys for services but here I am waiting on for a call and hampering my work.

Regards,
Aayush

Dear Mr Mittal

Me and my entire family has been airtel's customer for more than a decade now. Unfortunately we are now switching to some other network as the customer care staff you have by the name of Vikas sharma interaction I'd 21517434 refused to help me in any way and said if you want to leave airtel you can. I would request you to take strict action against this as you may loose a huge number of customers because of this.

Airtel 4g wifi plans were initially like normal wifi plans like the ones provided by other companies wherein the customer subscribes to a limited amount of data at high speed after the exhaustion of which the speed is slowed down. Airtel recently, without any sort of intimation to its customers, converted these plans into cpe locked data plans where after the exhaustion of the data, without providing with any sort of initmation that the data has been consumed in its entirety, credits some more miniscule amount of data at an exorbitant rate to the customer and ends up adding rs. 500 to the bill. And the cherry on the cake is, that in most instances they do not really give you any extra data but just end up adding rs. 500 to your bill, since there is absolutely no way to check whether any extra data has been added to your account or not. So, there is absolutely no sort of intimation by them to the customer that their data has been consumed, they provide additional data at an exorbitant rate and then later charge for it all without the customer's consent, then there is no way to check whether they have provided any extra data or not, all three of which are absolutely against trai regulations.

This kind of plan introduced by airtel is absolutely illegal, since trai regulations mention that a service provider needs to send messages to the customer at the expiry of 50%, 90% and 100% data consumption. They also mention that a provider needs to stop the data services at the expiry of prescribed limit since the customer's consent is only for that amount of data which he prescribed for and the provider cannot provide extra data and then charge for it without the customer's consent. Trai also mentions that the service providers need to provide with a method to customers to check their data usage, but there is none such provision by airtel for their so called 'extra data' charged for. Airtel via these illegal plans is cheating its customers countrywide who have subscribed to these plans without even their knowledge that they are being ripped off their money.

My previous internet connection was by connect and they always used to provide messages intimating consumers about their 50%, 90% and 100% data usage and never used to credit any service without consent. Airtel on the other hand being the most renowned service provider in the country indulges in such unscrupulous activites.

I have called up their customer care, written mails to airtel, and i have to admit that airtel customer care is the most pathetic one that i have ever come across. They have some really incompetent employees handling their customer care, who just keep sending me details of various bill plans available with them in mail after mail, despite me telling them explicitly that my mails are not to enquire about bill plans and explicitly mentioning my problem to them.

I really have my doubts if airtel would actually resolve this problem since they have found this method of cheating their customers on such a wide scale. I really want to lodge a complaint with trai and would be glad if somebody can guide me as to how to go about it.

Land line and wifi problem... Sir as we know you have million customer but you can't even attend all customer in same time.. As we are requesting you ple divert our complaint our area wo is supervising the land line complaints. We are using this connection for our emergency usage. But its not working properly. Even we have complained many times.. Ter is no proper response.. If not solved if its problem in your end.. Then don't charge us in further...

I applied for a new broadband connection from Airtel on 25th May, 2016.
I paid for the new connection and even submitted all required documents after getting a technical feasibility for the connection in my area.

I was promised a connection would be installed within 48 hours of the application.

The details are as follows:
Account ID: [protected]
Installation Order ID: 69197275
CAF Number: TBLR7188463

Name: Dr. Vikas Mukhija

Address: Flat-301, Aishwarya Abode, 1st A Cross, SR Layout, Murugeshpalya,
Bangalore-560017

Mobile Number: +91-[protected]

Till date, i.e. even after more than a month no one from Airtel has contacted me for the connection and fulfilment of the service.

I have multiple complaints to the customer service and even to the appellate authority of Airtel. But no one seems to be taking any responsibility.

My sim card has been deactivated, without prior informing me at least the company should have contacted me or sent a message that they are going to deactivate my no. I was using the sim for incoming calls only but it doesn't means that i didn't ever used it for making calls. It was deactivated on 21 june and no notice was given to me before deactivating my sim. I request airtel to return my number back to me otherwise i will have to take some other actions.

I am staying in mamun cantt
I had given a complaint of poor voice and data coverage. I was given false promises by mr mahajan an airtel employee that coverage will be good and there is 4g coverage here then he said it's actually 3g platinum
The complaint number reference no. 69986804 was given and i was told it will be resolved
The guy on the helpline who took the complaint acknowledged that voice was not clear
Some foolish messages were sent to me saying someone tried to call but couldn't get through and today without anything being done on it they said the issue has been resolved
This transparency nonsense is all bull
Please spend more money in putting towers than making some crap advertisements
Find my details from the complaint number
